Back From Prison! Chapter 135: Going To Buy A Wedding Gift.
"Sneeze!" On the trading street of Slab, Milcah suddenly sneezed, wondering who was mentioning her. At that moment, a middle-aged, obese man was walking with her. He wore a flashy shirt inside his vest, holding a cigar, with yellow teeth. "Let's go into this shop." This man was Jethro Miller, and he was looking at a jewelry store called Lady-Q. "Jethro, is this shop too expensive?" An old lady walking behind Jethro knew the shop's price and began to ramble: "Jethro, whether you buy a bracelet or a ring, it's just a formality! It doesn't matter where you buy it!" Milcah didn't say anything. To her, buying anything wasn't important. "If it's expensive, it's okay. Our family isn't short of money! Let's go, mom! I've seen you wear that bracelet for so many years. Later, I'll buy you a pair of jade bracelets!" The old lady talking to Jethro was named Xenia. She laughed uncontrollably and didn't criticize the price anymore: "Okay, follow your mean, our family isn't short of money!"
Back From Prison! Chapter 136: Thick Face Blames.
"Mr. Jethro, how could I dare to deceive you? This bracelet won't appear in our store because not long ago, CEO Lee told us to prepare a valuable item that he may need." Vivian reluctantly nodded. "Is Mr. Lee planning to take it?" Jethro became furious. "Well." Vivian nodded again. "If it's for Mr. Lee, why bother showing it to me!" Jethro was angry. Vivian didn't expect it to be broken like this! "CEO Lee didn't say when he needed it or specify what it was. I saw your mother wanted an expensive item, thinking that if she liked it, I would prepare something else for Mr. Lee, but I didn't expect..." Vivian admitted, wanting a more significant commission. This item was worth millions of dollars, and she was unlikely to sell it in a year. But selling one item would be better than half a year's salary! Jethro was stunned by the price. Eight million USD! He lost a lot of money! Jethro glared at Xenia as if to say: "Why didn't you pay attention?" He wouldn't have looked at it for

Then, Conal looked in another direction and took a bank card from his wallet, saying: “I’ll pay for that broken bracelet.” “Director Lee, I...” Vivian seemed hesitant, still worried that Conal would be upset. “Quickly put your hand up, and I’ll pay for the bracelet. Also, order another precious piece of jewelry for me. It must be more luxurious than this bracelet. I’ll pick it up tomorrow. If anything else happens, I think this management position should be replaced.” Despite Conal being quite harsh, that was already very merciful. Vivian quickly thanked him and took the card. Suddenly, Conal asked: “Earlier, why did the bracelet break?” “This matter...” Vivian didn’t dare to hide anything, quickly recounting the whole incident. After learning the truth, Conal narrowed his eyes and said softly: “Extract the exclusive video footage of the incident for me. I’ll take it with me.” ... In a tea shop. Jonathan sat in front of a laptop, the screen replaying the scene of Milcah bein
Back From Prison! Chapter 138: Swashbuckling Heroes.
However, there is no plan to allocate funds for repairs, and the school leaders plan to wait another two years to build a new school instead. Building a new school is not an easy task. Even if planning begins now, it will take at least two to three years to complete. The school leaders were worried and organized a fundraising party to persuade teachers to convince former students to contribute some money to repair the school. This is a normal thing for other teachers, but for Kieran, this is the last time he can contribute a little effort to the school. This time, he called the Jonathan group here, actually, to discuss this matter. He thought that if Jonathan knew Conal, he could say a few words to him and see if this wealthy businessman could contribute more. To his surprise, Jonathan told him that he and Conal only had a slight acquaintance. Kieran feeling disappointed… "I'll donate $5,000! Oh, teacher, I may not be rich, but I'm willing to support my old school!" Jessica imm

After thinking it over, Jonathan explained: “Because of business, I will spend most of my time there next year." He didn't explain any further. An ordinary girl like Jessica would be better off not knowing about power struggles in the underworld. "Oh.” Jessica didn't suspect anything and suddenly became curious: “So what do you do for a living? It seems like you have a big business. Rowena messaged our class chat, saying you will attend a fundraiser and resolve millions of dollars in school repair costs! What does that have to do with Rowena? Why did she bring it up?" Jessica felt angry at Jonathan. Everything was normal as long as they all donated to the school. But Rowena made such a statement, and if Jonathan couldn't deliver, he would become a laughingstock. How will he hold his head up in front of his old classmates? Jonathan also found it difficult to understand: “Show me your phone." Jonathan didn't participate in the group chat with his high school classmates, feeling i

Seeing someone coming in, all eyes were on Jonathan. “Are you the one who wants to discuss a business deal with Jethro? You have even so young, and you’re already imitating someone else’s business. What family do you belong to?” A guy wearing a gold chain around his neck stood up and asked. “Ha ha ha...” The whole room burst into laughter. Jethro was sitting in the middle, with two girls hugging him. He was holding a cigar, and he was not interested in Jonathan because he was a stranger. He thought that the person who the club’s receptionist had called him about must be someone terrifying. It’s okay to meet him for a while. What if there is a big business deal? He didn’t expect it to be just a young man. Jethro didn’t know Jonathan, but Jonathan knew Jethro. He was the person on the surveillance screen at Lady-Q’s shop. Jonathan approached Jethro step by step and said gently: “Actually, I’m not here to discuss a business deal.” “...Are you playing with me?” Jethro squinted hi

***Because I mistakenly posted the same two chapters 139. So I'll revise it to chapters 139 (1) and 139 (2). It's in chapters 138 and 139, so won't affect the progress of the story. I'll post longer chapters 140 and 141 to apologize. Sincere apologies, and hope you will continue to support my book.---After dealing with Jethro, Jonathan considered that he had gotten rid of anger about Milcah's the incident at Lady-Q's jewelry store.The main play would take place tomorrow.Jonathan paced along Slab street before calling Milcah on his phone."Jonathan?""Where are you?" Jonathan asked."I'm at home waiting for my wedding day." Milcah replied.Jonathan nodded slightly and said: "I already knew what happened to you at Lady-Q's jewelry store, and I have taken care of Jethro, so consider it revenge for you.""..."Milcah was stunned for a moment before expressing concern: "Jonathan, why did you meet him? Do you know what kind of person Jethro is?"Jethro was a thug who only did dirty de

"Chairman Roger attending my wedding is truly an immense honor! I am truly blessed..." Jethro raises his hands to shake hands.However, Roger coldly glances at him, leaving Jethro stunned."Miss Milcah, it's just a small token of appreciation, nothing much." Roger ignores Jethro, treating him as invisible. Roger walks up to Milcah and hands her the prepared gift.The gift is inside a box. No one knows what's inside. But it's not cheap when someone of Roger's status gives a gift."Is it for me? Me?" Milcah stammers, not daring to believe it."Yes, this is a gift that this lowly person dedicates to you, hoping you will accept it." Only in front of Milcah does Roger smile warmly."Thank Chairman Roger quickly!" Jethro scolds loudly, but Roger reprimands him, making him frightened again.At this moment, Conal rushes over and presents his prepared gift.Since Milcah had already received a gift from Roger, she must also receive Conal's gift.Derek's eyes light up like car headlights.

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

Chapter 336: We Still Have Samantha.
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
