That man could have betrayed him and followed Reginald’s wishes for a better life, a higher position, and greater status. But he refused Reginald’s offer.He left Monolith without hesitation, surrendering to Monolith devoid of Richard. “There’s no need. My life is more than enough. I’m not in a situation where I need money. As for compensation, don’t worry about it. I’ll take care of it,” Richard said, patting the sedan owner on the shoulder.The man looked skeptical about Richard’s words. Quickly, he reached into his pocket, saying, “Cap Dwayne, I know you’re not receiving any support from the Dwayne family anymore. Plus, Monolith has gone bankrupt, and now all the companies are targeting Monolith’s people.” “I’m sure your life must be very difficult now. I still have a little money left; take it. I need to hurry home because tomorrow is my father-in-law’s 70th birthday. I have to quickly deliver the event supplies for him.”The sedan owner rushed off, worried that Richard would re

No one believed Richard’s words, and they still thought he was just pretending, bragging, and talking nonsense.“Ashren, no wonder you ended up like this,” said Ashren’s wife, looking at him with a sneer.“Look at your boss, the one you used to be so proud of! Ridiculous! Don’t blame me for acting like this. Tomorrow is my papa’s seventieth birthday, but you have nothing! The house is mortgaged, the car is sold, and now you’ve replaced it with this old sedan!”“If I’m not careful, everyone will look down on me!”Careful? Does she mean careful about being someone else’s mistress?Ashren pointed at the woman in front of him, his jaw clenched in anger. His fist tightened, and then his gaze shifted to the man next to his wife, who was laughing contentedly. The man looked incredulously at what Richard had said. “What did you say? You’re going to seize my company? You think you’re that great? When you were president of Monolith Group, you never spoke like this! Who do you think you are? Do

Ashren’s eyes were fixed on the computer screen with a serious expression. After pressing the Enter key, he confidently said, “Mr. Richard, it’s done! The surveillance has deleted the last 10 minutes of the footage. After that, the CCTV camera malfunctioned. I was only able to recover the 10 minutes that were deleted.”Richard quickly walked over to the computer and checked the missing footage.What appeared on the screen was the moment in the lobby of the Dwayne family home during the banquet. It showed Richard, Eno, and several others leaving first. Shortly after, Aurora appeared and stayed for only a few minutes.Then, Alexander Skyler was the only one left in the lobby.The camera clearly captured the change in Alexander’s expression. He looked back and then said aloud, “Wil... Wilbur!”Wilbur Dwayne?Richard’s face immediately changed upon hearing that name.From the monitor, Wilbur could be seen walking toward Alexander. They both seemed uncomfortable.“Are you on Reginald’s sid

The question immediately startled Ashren. How did he treat them back then? In his prime, he provided for them all—house, car, living expenses amounting to tens of millions a month—all on his own. But what was their response now?“Eee… eee…” Ashren stammered, both confused and angry. The looks from the people around seemed to be belittling him, as though he was no longer the big boss he once was. “Divorce! There’s no other option!” Ashren said firmly.Meanwhile, his mother-in-law looked on seriously, listening intently. After a while, she stood up and said coldly, “Ashren, it’s good that you’re divorcing Danica. You’re not the same as before. And you won’t be able to rise again. I support your divorce!”“With your poverty now, you should face it alone. Don’t drag Danica and her child into this. If there’s anything left in that house, immediately hand it all over to Danica. You must also give her the house. Don’t worry, you’re a man, you won’t starve to death.”Upon hearing this, Ashre

“You just borrowed that money from someone else. And you deliberately pretended you were going to give it to Papa. You just wanted to show off, didn’t you? Aren’t you ashamed? Coming here with borrowed money and a rented car?”The accusation flew sharply from his ex-wife’s mouth.Ashren could only swallow his anger, while Richard took the initiative to prove that the money was not borrowed—it was indeed intended as a gift.But since the recipient of the gift was behaving so rudely, Richard decided to make the money disappear immediately. He pulled a lighter from his pants pocket and opened the box sitting in front of him.As soon as it was open, Richard lit the lighter and tossed it into the box.Whoosh!!!Thousands of red bills in the first box were instantly engulfed in flames. The red fire dazzled everyone’s eyes. Danica and the others immediately panicked. The two of them rushed to extinguish the flames with their hands, shouting, “What are you doing? Are you crazy?” “Why are you
