The Southwest region had already entered winter, and Slab couldn't escape from it.Therefore, the streets are very empty of people.Jonathan walked aimlessly on the street, letting the raindrops fall on his face, but he didn't feel cold at all.No matter how cold the rain was at night, it was not as hard as he felt inside at the moment.'Brother, I'm getting married soon.''The wedding will take place on December 28th, only five days left. You'll know then.''Brother, I'm not hiding anything from you. And your little sister is getting married, aren't you going to congratulate me?'Remembering Milcah's hesitant words when they met last time, Jonathan muttered: "Why didn't you tell me the truth? Why didn't you tell me that Mom forced you to marry Jethro?"Jonathan intended to call Milcah to ask for clarification, but in the end, he decided not to.Her constant evasion of the issue showed that she had some personal struggles. Asking her repeatedly would be pointless.Jonathan didn't know
Jonathan sighed silently and stood up. His voice was heavy: "Mom, whether you forced Milcah or not, you know it in your heart. I also know you sell the Nephrite I owned for one million and two hundred thousand USD. Sometimes I doubt, is money really that important?"Phoebe widened her eyes. How did Jonathan know about her selling the Nephrite and the price she traded it for? Had Jonathan met Edsel of Moonlight jewelry store?But her eyes still showed denial: "What, Nephrite? I told you that your Nephrite was lost, don't you understand?!"Jonathan shook his head and laughed. He knew too well the stubbornness of his foster mother. Even if he showed her the Nephrite before her, she would not admit it. He was too lazy to argue."You take care of it yourself."Jonathan left with those words.In the room, Derek couldn't remain calm any longer: "Mom, do you feel like Jonathan is different from before? Also, how does he know about the Nephrite you sold and the price you sold it for?"Phoebe h
Jonathan could see Louisa pressing her nails into her skin, disgust, and humiliation clear on her face."You've been struggling. Why didn't you say anything?"Jonathan didn't say anything from start to finish, suddenly speaking up.He knew Louisa's father had been injured a few years ago but didn't know the details. He didn't expect it to be so severe as spinal surgery."It's nothing, not just a day or two of hardship. Jonathan, let's go back, shall we?" Louisa brushed off the strange glances around them, forcing a smile."Let's go. I'll treat you to bubble tea!"Jonathan said "you" instead of "both of you.""Yes, please!"Downstairs, Olwen played with her phone for a moment, boredly saying: "You two go ahead, I have an appointment, I'm not going with you."Wasting time with a driver is not a good use of time.Louisa looked at Olwen, hesitated to speak but stopped.Jonathan said nothing more, not even a "let me drive you for.""Let's go."They both drove away.Along the way, Louisa sp
After Conal said that a big shot wanted to see him, Adonis quickly arranged his work and came over. But after seeing this big shot, he was a bit surprised because he didn't expect him to be such a young man.He looked to be about thirty years old."Sit down! And you can call this gentleman is 'Mr. Wang'." Conal introduced Jonathan without explaining his identity."Hello, Mr. Wang." Jonathan nodded.Adonis had arrived, so Conal immediately called the staff to bring the food up."I wonder if Mr. Wang has anything to discuss with me?" Adonis felt a bit uneasy.Someone who can make Conal act with such a respectful attitude must have a not-so-simple background. Perhaps "Mr. Wang' is the master of some large clan.The problem is that 'Mr. Wang' only mentioned wanting to meet him, so he needed to understand more."Louisa is the younger sister who grew up with me." Jonathan said straight.Not only Adonis but Conal was also surprised. Is Louisa is Jonathan's sister? Since when did she have this
At this moment, Louisa was intentionally dressed in a glamorous outfit and standing outside the glass doors, feeling a bit anxious.But many employees had already seen Louisa - a highly regarded talent by the company, whom Bellamy had fired.As the company hall was small, Louisa could hear the murmurs of the employees. She had the intention of turning her head and leaving.But thinking of Jonathan's advice to come here, Louisa gritted her teeth and firmly walked into the office lobby.Unfortunately, at this very moment, Bellamy and a plump woman named Veronica walked in."Oh, Louisa, it looks like you've thought it through. You can only be happy if you agree to my conditions!" Bellamy said as he saw Louisa appear. He thought she couldn't bear to give up her position in the planning department and accepted his offer. This was great news.Even his sister Veronica knew about Louisa's abilities. She even scolded Bellamy after he fired Louisa and forced him to invite Louisa back to the com
"Do you know if my last name is Jake or not?" Veronica growled."The Jake family of Archibald Jake, don't worry, I've heard of it before! Even though you're related to the Jake family, do you have any connection to Archibald? But that's not important. I'm just stating the facts. You hold fifty-one percent of the shares of God Dragon advertising company. But the amount of money Adonis has earned that you have squandered over the years probably exceeds this percentage. I am taking back the shares for Adonis, which is not unreasonable!" Jonathan replied calmly and concisely.But the people sitting here were all stirred up inside.Archibald Jake! He was the most influential figure in Slab, no less than Conal.The two sisters, Veronica and her sister, were arrogant because they enjoyed being related to the Jake family, as they belonged to a family branch.But the fact that Jonathan, whom Adonis had invited, mentioned Archibald indifferently was unsettling.Veronica began to worry, her eyes
"I, I..." Seeing Jonathan had redeemed her, Louisa felt like she was dreaming.Previous scenes appeared in her mind, and she felt the scene before her could only happen in a dream. But now the boss was inviting her to be the company's CEO! She could earn a million dollars a year with this position, right?!After being stunned, Louisa felt restless.But she wasn't blinded by this position and looked at Jonathan.Her lost reputation at the God Dragon advertising company can be recovered thanks to Jonathan, so whether she became CEO depended on Jonathan's decision."No need. I have another arrangement for her."Adonis felt very sorry that 'Mr. Wang' had refused his offer without hesitation.Adonis intended for Louisa to become CEO as a token of gratitude, and also had some ulterior motives. With Louisa in his company, he would always have a connection to Jonathan. The business world is highly volatile, and anything can happen. If the God Dragon advertising company had such a strong prote
"Can I explain the surgical process that Uncle Taylor needs? First, we need to take a CT scan and then buy artificial bone based on the CT images. That's the first step! Next, we need to perform the surgery. The surgeon will dissect Uncle Taylor's spinal column, remove the necrotic bones, and replace them with artificial bones. This doesn't need to be explained, right? But the biggest problem is anesthesia! With Uncle Taylor's condition, we must perform spinal column surgery and remove the necrotic bones. Normal people can't endure this kind of pain, even with anesthesia. I think it will be excruciating! Of course, in medicine, a type of shock anesthesia can solve this problem, but it significantly impacts the nervous system. Now we can't see anything, but when Uncle Taylor is sixty to sixty-five, he is likely to develop age-related cognitive decline!"Jonathan talked non-stop, making Louisa and Anatole wide-eyed and can't be open-mouthed. It turns out that Jonathan knows so much.If
