After Jonathan left, Derek's face twitched, then he got mad: "Mom, what the hell is Jonathan doing now! That year, he would rather give money to that rotten woman Orla and refuse to give our house a little more. If he could give me a few million dollars when he had money, how could I live so pathetically? ?"Phoebe's face was also not good: "Jonathan has enough feathers and wings, so he wants to fly! You can rest assured, Jonathan will not escape my palm!""he doesn't stay in Slab. Can you tie him up?" Derek is confused.Unless Jonathan can stay here, if not, afraid they can't get anything from Jonathan.Phoebe's eyes are sharp: "Have you forgotten Louisa Taylor? Louisa asks us every year when Jonathan is released from prison, and she still likes Jonathan very much! Think about it, Louisa's father is sick and needs someone to take care of him. Jonathan has just been released from prison and still has people who like him. It's good. She's a pretty girl! Louisa has liked Jonathan since

“Rowena is so stable now! She's a radio editor already, heard from other friends that she seems to be hosting a live TV show soon. If that's true, then she'll be able to meet a celebrity in the future!" mentioning Rowena, Duncan expressed admiration.Jonathan smiled and nodded: "Oh, that's good."Seeing that Jonathan heard everything and replied, 'that's fine,' Duncan thought he is not happy, so he deliberately acted cool to hide his inferiority.Duncan had experienced this feeling, so he knows, see other was to shine everywhere, and he was penniless, this is an extremely uncomfortable feeling that he has experienced. So he didn't expose Jonathan either.Duncan suddenly remembered something and asked: "Ah, teacher Kieran is about to retire. Rowena purposely to organize a retirement party for the teacher. Will you go…”"Yes, when?"Duncan: “…”After saying this, Duncan felt a little regretful.In the car, Duncan knew that Jonathan had only been released from prison for two months. With

Jonathan joked: "Now, if I say I'm just a little driver, would you believe it?""Do you think I believe it?"Louisa smiled, showing her white teeth as if she was the same little girl from that year, unchanged.After that, the two seemed to run out of topics to discuss, so they fell silent again. Louisa could know that Jonathan didn't seem very interested.Initially, she intended to exchange methods of contacting him and then saying goodbye, which was an excellent way to end the first meeting.But Louisa changed her mind."Jonathan, you, don't you have anything you want to say to me?"Jonathan frowned, looked suspiciously at Louisa, and asked: "What thing?""It seems you don't know yet. I thought you knew your mother wanted to invite me to your house for dinner," Louisa gritted her teeth, unable to continue.Jonathan understood the problem but still pretended not to know. He shook his head and replied: "I don't know.""Then let it go. Jonathan, it's not too soon. Let's just... let's go

"If it's gone, well then." Jonathan didn't investigate further, got up from the bench, and continued: "Not early anymore. I'm back first."Waiting for Jonathan to go out the door, Derek rushed to his mother and asked: "Mom, what is that jade?"Phoebe glanced at her son and replied: "It's a piece of jade worth several hundred thousand dollars!""What? Several hundred thousand dollars?" Derek was surprised."Speak a little louder, and Jonathan will be happy to return!""I speak softly, I speak softly! Mom, that piece... that piece of jade..." Derek's eyes were full of lust.This piece of jade can be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of dollars!"For now, don't think about it. I'm saving this gem for my nephew! If you want, let me hold grandchildren first and then talk!" Phoebe's face was grave, and her tone was non-negotiable."Haiz..."Knowing her mother's personality, Derek has no choice but to be beside the treasure without can't touch!...After returning to the hotel, Jonathan to
Back From Prison! Chapter 117: Retirement Party.
“Good, good! You coming here is great!” Kieran patted Jonathan on the back with a joyful expression.“Why did he come here?”“Who knows, didn’t he go to jail? And for a sexual assault too!”“It’s normal to get out of jail after so many years. But how did he have the courage to show his face here?”The old classmates chatted. Their voices were not loud, but enough for Kieran and Jonathan to hear a few words.Kieran’s face was unnatural, and he was about to get angry and stop the students from talking, but Jonathan stopped him and changed the subject: “I know you love calligraphy, so I bought you a calligraphy piece from my friend. I hope you like it.”“Okay, I usually don’t accept gifts, but I’ll break the rule today. As long as it’s not too expensive, I’ll accept it!” Kieran happily laughed, not refusing Jonathan’s gift. He accepted the calligraphy piece and put it in the wall cabinet.Other students looked at Jonathan with disdainful eyes, but he didn’t bother to greet them, and Kier
Back From Prison! Chapter 118: Which Calligraphy Is Fake?
"Mr. Kieran, I'm sorry for being late. Rowena told me you liked calligraphy from the master K.O, so I asked my connections in the city to buy this for you. It's the calligraphy piece that K.O likes the most, and I hope you won't be disappointed." Corbin said.Everyone exclaimed in surprise.K.O was a teacher during the period, as well as a calligraphy artist who painted calligraphy pieces similar to those of the Chinese. Although his works were not considered exceptionally valuable, each fetched several hundred thousand USD.Rowena's boyfriend was incredibly generous and didn't hesitate to spend money."If you want to give a gift, give it separately. Why make such a big deal out of it? It's just for show!" Jessica grumbled but was still amazed by the gift.Jonathan pondered momentarily and then guessed, how many calligraphy pieces did K.O really like the most?"Why, don't tell me you're jealous! He's rich and has a lot of money. Why compare?" Jessica saw Jonathan's strange expression

Rowena also looked worried. If Corbin gave a fake gift, wouldn't she lose face too?Did she organize this lavish retirement party to show her former classmates how successful she had become? Not only did she have a better job than all her friends, but she also had a boyfriend that they could only dream of.To put it bluntly, Rowena had to live a more luxurious life than anyone else here!But if her boyfriend gave her a fake gift, this would become a ridiculous joke!Thinking of this, Rowena immediately spoke up: "Sir, Corbin is one of us Slab people. Moreover, he has a career and a network of relationships! You insist that his gift is fake to save face for Jonathan. If this rumor spreads, it will greatly affect Corbin's reputation!""Unacceptable!"The other students discussed excitedly. They all thought Kieran said that because he favored Jonathan. As for the gift Jonathan gave, it must still be fake!Bang!Suddenly, Kieran slammed the table, his neck veins bulged, and he said roughl

Kieran found it strange, but when Martin handed him the glass, he had to lift it: “Mr. Martin, drink however you want. I’ll drink it all!”“When drinking with Mr. Kieran, we must finish it all.”Martin immediately drank the glass of white wine, then turned the cup upside down to show that he had finished it.“Mr. Martin, please sit down and talk." Corbin immediately spoke up, sensing the opportunity.Huh? Sit down? Martin glanced over. If Boss Wang hadn’t said anything, how could he dare to sit here?So he had to say: “No need.”“I have a request for Mr. Kieran, and I wonder if you can agree?”A request?No wonder Martin had such a respectful attitude toward Kieran.But everyone didn’t understand what Martin wanted from Kieran.Kieran hated begging the most, so he frowned, but since someone else had spoken, he had to say: “If there’s anything, Mr. Martin can say it.”“Here’s the thing, the most respected person in my life is you, a highly respected and virtuous teacher. I hope Mr. Kie

At the Moonlight company's neighboring cafe. Jonathan and Juliette sat secluded in a dim corner. Juliette, shedding her pretense, took a sip of coffee before saying: "I've arranged to dine with Feagan tonight. What's our next move?" "How do you find Feagan?" Jonathan inquired earnestly. "Handsome, even more than you. And oozing charisma! If I were Adela, I'd choose him and kick you to the curb." Juliette quipped. Jonathan: "..." "Heh, just teasing!" Seeing Jonathan's knitted brows, Juliette laughed: "But seriously, Feagan seems like another wolf in sheep's clothing. He's no match for you! I entered his office and he stared at me for minutes. I've seen that type of gaze in Crystal Cove all too often. He's not a catch." "You've got the right hunch. Feagan is no pillar to lean on. If your old friend is by his side, she's bound to regret it." Hearing this, Jonathan hesitated: "Tonight, carry a mini-camera. Entice him to reveal his true colors. If you succeed, make a swift exit."

Katherine swiftly dismissed with a flick of her hand, her face etched with profound disagreement. "How can you suggest such a thing? If in the next two years you don't marry her and by some chance you decide to part ways with my dear Juliette, then what?" "If such were to occur, you would've squandered the best years of her youth! Absolutely not! It cannot be so." "Yet, for now, Juliette and I are not in a position to wed." Jonathan feigned discomfort, an aura of unease surrounding him. In a sudden whisper, Katherine interjected: "Even if marriage isn't immediate, there must be some assurance you can provide, mustn't there?" At this, both Andres and Wyatt, father and son, shifted their eager gazes toward Jonathan. Juliette inwardly smirked, thinking to herself, 'Mother is starting her games again.' It was clear the reason her parents were here tonight was solely for this imminent matter. They hadn't raised a daughter, but rather, it seemed, a mere commodity. "What assurance d

Once Tryphena was out of earshot, Juliette burst into giggles: "So Jonathan, that beauty is really your sister-in-law? Are you some kind of beast?" Of course, Juliette was jesting. Initially, she'd assumed the beauty Jonathan had turned down was just a stranger, and his mention of her being his brother's girlfriend was surely playful. But who was she kidding? Being a seasoned veteran in Crystal Cove' entertainment industry, Juliette had encountered countless personalities. Tryphena posed no threat. A few words were all it took to send her packing, all while maintaining her own clandestine identity. "Let's drop it. Since we've met, let's go somewhere." Jonathan said, steering the conversation away from Tryphena. "Agreed." Juliette cheerfully responded. As they strolled through the streets, their charisma was undeniable. The frequency with which heads turned to steal glances was remarkable. "How long are you staying in Elite Summit this time?" Juliette inquired with genuine interes

Chapter 341: 'What Kind Of Man Are You?'
"It's rare to run into familiar faces in Elite Summit." Tryphena mused, her words a flurry of excitement: "Would you join me for dinner tonight? If you're busy, tomorrow is fine too. Let's exchange numbers and connect on social media first!" Although initially hesitant, Jonathan found himself swayed by the genuine warmth in her eyes: "Tonight it is." With contact details exchanged and plans set, the two bid each other a temporary farewell. That very evening, as the city's lights began to shimmer, Jonathan received an investigation update from Roger. Adela was seeing someone. Moonlight Corp, where she worked in Elite Summit, was primarily managed by her and Deputy CEO Vera. However, recently, a charismatic new CEO named Feagan William, reputedly a returnee from overseas studies and rumored to be the scion of some top executive from M & N, took the helm. Since Feagan's arrival, he seemed relentlessly smitten by Adela. He often accompanied her to business outings and ensured she ret

Chapter 340: Jonathan's Quiet Grief.
After a while, Jonathan broke the ice, initiating a topic of discussion. Moonlight, Adela's brainchild, was now the talk of the town. "Our autumn collection has been a great success, both in terms of sales and profits." Adela began: "But to claim the top spot might be premature. Despite the backing of renowned domestic and international fashion houses like Wind & Fire and M & N, we can't be overly confident in becoming the flagbearer of our nation's fashion industry." "We'll truly know our standing after assessing the sales for the next three seasons. Only then can we truly earn national recognition." Truth be told, Adela was not overly concerned about Moonlight's position or its future; her worries had nearly evaporated. But she shared this perspective nonetheless. Jonathan silently rejoiced, noting Adela's growth and maturity. She was no longer the fishmonger he once knew from the market; she had blossomed into a successful businesswoman. In a time not so distant, Adela would,

Tommy shook his head, his words hastening to fill the air between them: "My sister-in-law is doing well; she's thriving in her job. Not too long ago, she even moved to a new house." “But when I visited Curtis last, there was a man at her place.” Tommy, flustered and scrambling for words, replied: "Oh, he must've been just a business partner, discussing some contracts with my sister-in-law. Nothing more.” Jonathan's face darkened in thought. A man? From what he knew about Adela, she would never entertain business at her private residence. Could it be? Had Adela found someone? It was possible. After all, when he had left Elite Summit, she had suggested they take a year apart. This perhaps hinted that their time together might eventually come to an end. Though Jonathan's relationship with Adela had blurred past friendship, their bond, in essence, was only maintained by Curtis. They never really became lovers. So, it was perfectly normal for Adela to have a boyfriend. Yet, the very th

Mammon's lips curled into a gentle smile: "If gratitude is to be given, direct it to Jonathan. While Mr. Moore and I might be acquaintances, our bond isn't as profound. Had it not been for Jonathan's plea, the Moores wouldn’t have found me in their corner." "Yes, indeed!" "Now, Mr. Moore, we must expedite matters. The sooner we seal the agreement, the better." "Let us restart the project and alleviate our shared anxieties." Business attended to, Mammon shared a few parting words before departing in the company of Jonathan. Their venture could truly be described as a fruitful one. Barring unforeseen tribulations, the peril that threatened the Moore family was seemingly defused. Their reputation, however, was something they'd have to mend on their own. Considering their current scenario, evading a declaration of bankruptcy due to piled debts was almost a miracle in itself. To hope for more would be sheer fantasy. All agreements were set in stone. Soon, Mammon would dispatch his

"Come now! Don't be like that! We've been childhood playmates, remember? Regardless of circumstances, our bond persists." Wynstan responded, pouring two glasses of wine with an exaggerated flourish. "This is a vintage from my personal collection. A true delight for the palate. Try it." Given there were just the two of them, the spread wasn't overly grand. Yet, countless esteemed businessmen from Crystal Cove would give an arm and a leg to be part of this dinner. However, to Nora, the invitation felt more burdensome than honorary. A toast always called for full glasses. And business often demanded the libations flow freely. Seeing Nora's thoughtful gaze, Wynstan chuckled: "Finding my wine lacking, are we? I suppose, being the magnate you now are, this might not match your status." Truth be told, the wine wasn't cheap, retailing at over a thousand. Yet to Nora, it was mere triviality. The wine wasn't the issue. Even if Wynstan had offered a commonplace wine worth mere tens, its

Jonathan remained silent, not swayed by Dieter's hollow compliments. For Jonathan knew, of all places, Elite Summit was hardly a theater of illustrious figures. Were it Crystal Cove, perhaps he might've begrudgingly conceded the point. But Elite Summit? What did it offer? Still, empty flattery was better than none; it lent a certain sweetness to the air. "Jonathan, there's a favor I'd like to ask of you." Dieter finally disclosed his intentions. Jonathan wasn't surprised. The Moore family was in a state of disarray, teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. Why else would Dieter squander an evening over dinner with him if not to seek some favor? "Speak, sir." Jonathan invited, his voice tinged with resignation. Though he had stretched himself thin helping the Moores, he couldn't guarantee the extent of the impact he could make. "In recent days, I've tallied up the debts of the Moore Corporation. The sum exceeds 65 billion." Dieter elaborated: "We've acquired raw materials for project
