Back From Prison! Chapter 158: Pre-Ordered Food Stolen.
“Mr. Johnson, have you chosen a hospital yet? I'll send someone to take you there later." Jonathan asked.Jonathan no longer paid attention to Cuthbert, nor did he plan to take revenge on him that quickly. He had his calculations.But Harold was different.Although Jonathan wasn't the kind of person to stick to every word he said, there was no reason to take back what had already been spoken.Today, he will break Harold's legs.“You, you dare!”Harold honestly didn't expect Jonathan to go that far.Breaking his legs was akin to offending his powerful uncle.Wasn't his uncle the King of Hell, untouchable by anyone who would dare to provoke?“What wouldn't I dare to do? When you're at the hospital, call Roderick and tell him who did this. I believe he'll come to San Francisco.”“Not even a day has passed. I'll leave immediately and never return to San Francisco!” Harold knew fear, not daring to bet whether Jonathan would follow through.But Jonathan shook his head: "It's too late.”Fini

"It's just a fish, after all. It's not a big deal if we don't eat it. Let's forget about it." Adela thought lightly, wanting to make things easier for the staff serves.Jonathan also nodded involuntarily, thinking the same way.Arguing over a fish was certainly not worth it.The server was relieved, having feared that he would not let the matter go.Clearly, the restaurant was wrong, and they didn't know how to explain the situation if it escalated."Oh, so that fish was yours! Adela, what a coincidence!"At that moment, a sounding voice rang out.Jonathan and Adela both looked toward the source of the sound, seeing a woman in a white fur coat approaching.Thanks to her makeup, the woman appeared quite pale and quite beautiful.Adela recognized who it was and couldn't help but frown: "Donna, weren't you out of town on a business trip? Why are you back here?""It's almost the New Year, so I must return to my hometown in style!"The woman named Donna laughed heartily and continued: "Bes

"Is he still here?" Edward asked, genuinely concerned."Yes, I saw them go into that private room!"Donna eagerly replied, awaiting this question.If Edward didn't teach Jonathan a lesson today, she couldn't swallow her anger.It especially bothered her that Jonathan was Adela's boyfriend, which made Donna even more indignant."Alright, come with me to give him a piece of our minds! I want to see what kind of audacity he has to disrespect me, Edward!"Edward didn't think much of it and followed Donna's lead toward the private room. Donna quickly followed suit.Thud!The door wasn't locked. Edward pushed it open without knocking, ignoring any formalities.Upon hearing the noise, Jonathan glanced over and saw Edward entering.Edward also saw Jonathan, and his face turned pale as if he'd seen a ghost.Donna entered behind him but could only see Edward's back, not his facial expression.Feeling more confident, she hesitantly exclaimed: "Jonathan, the young master is here now. If you dare,
Back From Prison! Chapter 161: A Request For Remarriage.
In the late afternoon.Jonathan drove Adela home, and after Adela comforted Curtis, the child agreed to stay at her house.After all, she was just a little girl, and a few soothing words were enough to make her comply.After dropping off Curtis and Adela, Jonathan took Milcah back to the Fear Wild mansion.The Mercedes S hadn't even passed the outer barrier of the mansion when Jonathan spotted a woman waiting there.Jonathan immediately pulled over."What's going on?" Milcah asked, puzzled.She soon realized why her brother had stopped the car.The woman waiting outside was none other than her former sister-in-law, Orla.Milcah was speechless, not knowing what to say.Jonathan exited the car and approached Orla with complicated and distant emotions."How did you find out where I live?"Orla didn't look too well, her face pale, indicating that her life had not been easy lately.Orla gazed at Jonathan with the look of someone who had let a long-standing affection slip away.Only after b

Jonathan looked at Orla, stopped laughing, shook his head, and said: 'Enough, don't daydream anymore.""Daydreaming?" Orla's face stiffened slightly: "What daydream? I'm serious! As long as I can prove the company is yours, I won't have any control over it, and my share transfer agreement with Edward will be worthless. So..."So naturally, Jonathan would become the boss of MIM.And she and Jonathan would remarry and resume their marital relationship, and of course, she would own half of his assets.Including this magnificent mansion.Just thinking about it excited her."I have my way to reclaim my company, and I don't need your method. You should enjoy your life with Edward! Fine, you can leave."Jonathan coldly dismissed his guest.He didn't even bother to taunt Orla any further.Orla's method could be effective.But the Tremblay family wasn't so naive as to let her do whatever she wanted.Moreover, Jonathan wanted to use something other than her way to return what belonged to him."
Back From Prison! Chapter 163: Debt Collection During Inauguration Day.
Thump, thump!A series of rhythmic footsteps echoed.Roger approached and whispered: "Young Master, Roderick is here."Swoosh!Jonathan frowned: "The traitor."The next day.At a large hotel.A liquid crystal display broadcasted a bright red text: 'Congratulations to MIM Real Estate officially on the market.'A giant projector screen on the wall also displayed the stock market transactions in Los Angeles.All that was left was for the Tremblay family to wave their wooden wand.This meant MIM Real Estate was successfully launched.The rows of flower bed outside the hotel were arranged with chairs, a long red silk cloth, and a large bronze flower in the center as a congratulatory gesture.Many prominent figures from San Francisco's upper class were present and gathered in small groups to chat.Almost all the reporters from the Southwest region or even Los Angeles had arrived early to witness the debut of MIM Real Estate - the following real estate mogul in San Francisco.At this moment,

"Let's just agree to pay off Marcus's debt!" Edward wanted to resolve the matter quickly, so even though he despised Marcus, he still sacrificed his assets to save him.However, as soon as he proposed this idea, Cuthbert angrily glared at him."Help Marcus pay off his debt? How are we going to deal with the media's coverage then?"With just one sentence, Edward's intention was dispelled.Suddenly, another person arrived. It was Cyrus.Cyrus walked up, stood beside Beckham, faced everyone, and said: "I'm sorry to interrupt, but Harding also owes me fifty million USD from when he was in dire straits. How about we settle everything in one go?"Uh-oh!This storm hadn't even passed yet, and another one was approaching!What happened to the William family? Why did everyone seem to have piled-up debts?Orla was stunned, staring at Harding.Harding shrank back and said: "Sis, I was set up. Seriously, it was Jonathan who tried to frame me. Brother-in-law knows about it!""Damn it, who's your b

"Are you crazy!"Edward showed no mercy and kicked Orla away. She fell on the floor in pain.Seeing this, Marcus and Harding disregarded everything and charged at Edward.However, the Tremblays had brought more than a dozen bodyguards, and the two were quickly subdued. Then the bodyguards escorted the three Williams family members out of place.Witnessing this scene, Jonathan remained remarkably calm.This tragic end was something Orla had brought upon herself."Jonathan, now you see. The MIM Estate belongs to the Tremblay family, having nothing to do with the Orlas. So your scheming is useless!" Cuthbert said with a smug grin.The plan to kick the Orlas out of the Tremblay family had been calculated initially.Surprisingly, this ousting had now helped the Tremblays break free."I never thought my plan would be effective. However, the origin of the MIM estate was built by me. Since my imprisonment, I've never signed any share transfer agreements. Indeed, I forgot that this company is

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
