The next day, the weather was sunny and warm. At ten in the morning, Adela was beautifully made up. "Adela, it's Saturday, why are you going out so early?" her mother, emerging from her room, asked. Adela answered distractedly: "Mom, I... I'm going to a friend's daughter's birthday party." Hearing that Adela was attending a friend's daughter's birthday, her mother, Mrs. Sienna, was delighted: "You should meet more of your old friends, you've been isolating yourself for years, not contacting anyone, I worry you'll become depressed." "But you seem to have turned a corner, finding a job you like, and becoming more open. Go ahead..." "Yes." Adela pursed her lips, her expression slightly pained. If her mother knew she was attending the birthday of Jonathan's daughter, her enemy, she probably wouldn't think the same. Adela left her rental house, then headed to a gift shop, carefully selecting a princess doll worth a few hundred USD, holding it close, ready to take a taxi to Way Heave
Hearing that Jonathan could be the VIP who reserved the top floor of the Way Heaven Hotel, the security guards hesitated to approach him, their palms sweating. If they offended such a high-profile person, they could lose their jobs. "Have you caused enough trouble, Jonathan?" "You still owe Edward five million USD, where do you get the money to book the top floor?" In her anger, Orla brought up the debt Jonathan supposedly owed Edward, which of course was just a tactic they used in their accounting to pressure Jonathan into a divorce. "My brother-in-law vacated the top floor for a VIP, and you’re saying he gave it to you? Jonathan, if you’re going to boast, at least make it believable!" Harding joined in the mockery. He had heard that Edward and his sister had originally booked the party at the top floor of the Way Heaven Hotel, but supposedly gave it up out of respect for the VIP who wanted to use it for his daughter’s birthday. "Edward, you gave up the top floor for me? I’ll h
At Carla’s sixth birthday celebration, Tommy also arrived. He gifted Carla a set of clothes from the leading children's fashion brand “Fate" worth thousands of USD, making her beam with joy. For Tommy, this gift was genuinely heartfelt. “Bro, why do you seem so distracted?” Tommy noticed Jonathan’s unusual demeanor during the party. “Aunt Adela hasn’t arrived yet!” Carla, holding a piece of cake, suddenly interjected. Jonathan chuckled, explaining to Tommy: "It’s about the girl I assaulted years ago.” Tommy realized: "You is still young, should find another sister-in-law for me!” “Ha ha, looking for a girlfriend for me sounds more like finding one for you!” Having a close brother like Tommy by his side made Jonathan more open. After the birthday party, Stephen messaged, indicating he had found Adela. Jonathan, unable to sit still, took Carla to meet her. When saying goodbye, Jonathan told Tommy: "In a few days, when things are calmer, I’ll bring your sister-in-law to visit.”
While on his way, Jonathan called Roger, instructing him to cease further investigation into Orla's matters. Next, he made a call to Devlin. "Hello, young master Wang!" Devlin's respectful voice came through the phone. "Regarding Orla, don't trouble her anymore!" Jonathan said coldly. Though Devlin didn't fully understand the situation, he dared not disobey: "I understand, young master Wang!" Just as Jonathan was about to hang up the phone, Devlin quickly asked with caution: "Young master Wang, about my daughter's leukemia…” Jonathan coldly replied: "What, am I supposed to follow your arrangements?” “No, no, of course not!” Devlin hastily responded. After giving his instructions, Jonathan wandered the streets alone. For Carla's sake, he had agreed not to pursue the fifty million USD from Orla, but that didn't mean he was giving up on reclaiming what rightfully belonged to him. He thought it was better to personally reclaim his belongings. Jonathan called Adela, asking her to
After the encounter with the old friends, Adela turned to Jonathan, irritated: “Why did you agree on my behalf?” Jonathan was straightforward: “I just wanted to preserve some dignity for you in front of your friends.” “Showing off!” Adela accused. “You think she can show off more than me?” Jonathan replied with a mischievous smile. Adela was left speechless. Among her former classmates, Britget was one of the few girls who came from a well-off family. Aside from being the daughter of the Kyle family, it seemed no one could compare to her in terms of wealth. However, getting to know Jonathan made Adela realize that he was even wealthier than the Kyles. Britget definitely chose the wrong person to show off to. But Adela wasn't interested in all these material things. Seeing that Adela remained silent, Jonathan spoke up: "Okay, since you've agreed, I promise you'll be the star tonight!” Adela wanted to refuse, but Jonathan interjected: "If you don't show up tonight, guess what Bri
"We haven't decided yet, we'll let everyone know when we do." Adela replied evasively to sidestep the topic. But Jonathan, lazily observing the decor, said: "Sorry, Adela and I don't plan to have our engagement here." Fergus laughed disdainfully, as if saying that Jonathan would need to prove his worth first! Fergus deliberately provoked Jonathan: "You're going a bit too far, Jonathan. Adela will only marry once in her life. Even if you have to exhaust all your assets, you should at least choose a decent hotel for the wedding. Such a significant event can't be celebrated in some roadside diner!" Adela, utterly detesting Jonathan, thought he was deliberately embarrassing her. "The quality of Way Heaven Hotel is just average, not worthy of Adela's status." Jonathan suddenly said with deep affection, looking at Adela: "That's why when I marry Adela, we won't choose Way Heaven Hotel." The room buzzed with excitement as everyone's gaze shifted to them, first in astonishment and then i
Slap! Britget suddenly slapped Fergus, then acted as if nothing happened: "Sorry, Fergus is drunk and talking nonsense!" The classmates remained silent, understanding Britget's fierce nature. Marrying Britget would surely be a life of suffering. The looks towards Fergus were full of contempt. How could he endure such a personality just for his career? Fergus was furious, wanting to retaliate, but couldn't bring himself to do it, knowing the consequences. "Fergus, are you trying to rebel?" Britget glared at Fergus, her gaze blatant and intimidating. Fergus, feeling humiliated, lowered his hand, trying to appease her: "No, I was just disrespectful because I'm drunk!" Britget finally seemed satisfied, then turned to Jonathan: "Jonathan, we're almost done with dinner, and it's still early. Fergus and I will pay for the meal. Why don't you plan what to do next? How about it?" Nobody asked Jonathan to plan anything, but Britget insisted on it. Fergus had already caused a scene; th
Finally, Jonathan looked up at Selena, his eyes curious: "Do you know why Near department store cancelled the order?" "It's because of Edgar's instigation!" "Yeah, knowing that, you still want to help me? What are you planning with me?" Selena: "....." Even if Selena didn’t speak, Jonathan knew. She was targeting him, likely believing he was a wealthy and powerful young master. People always aim for their interests. Especially someone like Selena, an outstanding woman experienced in the business world, who preferred profitable deals. Now, seeing his extraordinary appearance and uncertain but evidently not insignificant background, she had made her calculations. Otherwise, why would Selena risk angering Edgar to help him? But her scheme was aimed at the wrong person. Jonathan lost interest in making things difficult for her and said: "Alright then, it's just a multi-million dollar order from Near Department Store, I'm not too concerned. You do your job well, and as for whom I
