"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
"Roderick, although I acted against you today without your prior preparation, and it may not be entirely fair, the fact that you betrayed Top-Sky House is true. As the new owner of Top-Sky House, it is reasonable for me to punish the traitor. If you kneel obediently, I will let you go. We will meet again outside the area and settle the debt between you and Top-Sky House. If you don't kneel, you won't be able to leave San Francisco."Jonathan's voice was profound. These were not joking words.Roderick's subordinates rushed to protect him.On this side, Jonathan's subordinates were also on guard, staring intently at the other group.It could be guessed that if Roderick said "no." his fate today would be miserable."You're intimidation me!"Forcing Roderick to kneel would be challenging."So what? I'll give you thirty seconds to think." Jonathan replied calmly.At this moment, Jonathan truly embodied the owner of Top-Sky House, standing above all others.What kind of organization was Top
Orla didn't deny that she deliberately went out without makeup to look pitiful, but she genuinely hoped that Jonathan would forgive her and her family."You lied about being pregnant to trick me into marrying you! Then, when Harding caused trouble, you forced me to take the blame for him. To seize my fortune, you and your father kidnapped the child Adela gave birth to and continued to threaten me! Later, you and Edward used various schemes against me to take over my company. Orla, do you think what you've done is too much?"Jonathan found it laughable that Orla still thought he was cruel and heartless, going too far against his ex-wife.She never considered the unforgivable things she had done.Their entire marriage was built on lies."How can my family ever repay a hundred and fifty million? Jonathan, please, can't you spare my family?"Harding and Marcus' debts combined totaled one hundred and fifty million, not including interest.This was a considerable debt for the William family
As for alcohol, since being imprisoned, Wolfgang had not received any special treatment, nor had he touched alcohol for the past ten years.He once mentioned that he used to be quite a drinker.Given his current condition, he likely wouldn't survive the night, so there was no point in abstaining."I haven't had a drink in ten years, so why break that streak tonight? I'll sit here quietly and then leave on my own." Wolfgang sighed, sounding like someone who had seen through worldly affairs, indifferent to all."As you wish." Jonathan softly replied.A moment later, the warden's voice rang out from outside the cell: "Mr. Wang!"Jonathan frowned slightly: "What is it?""It's the New Year's celebration, so we must eat well. I purposely brought you some of our warden's food, and I hope Mr. Wang won't be too critical!""Bring it in.""Oh, yes. Happy New Year to Mr. Wang and Mr. Walsh, and I won't bother you two anymore!"The warden left the bottle of alcohol and closed the cell door behind
“Young master, let me try!” At this moment, Stephen suddenly said with determination.Killing Augustus would at most result in the crime of killing a mafia boss, and then going to meet the King of Hell.For Top-Sky House, Stephen wasn’t afraid of death.“If it must be done, it’s not your turn yet; step back!” Jonathan indifferently said, then glanced at Augustus.“Yes, sir!”Now that the young master had spoken, Stephen had no choice but to step back.“Alright, Lord God, stop threatening me. If you want me to fight or kill you, I dare, even if you say your subordinates will go crazy. It’s just that your forces will come here to avenge you, but Top-Sky House isn’t a paper tiger. If we must fight, we’ll fight; what’s there to be afraid of? Killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of our own, the sky still won’t collapse.”Jonathan calmly continued: “But I’m the young master of Top-Sky House. If I kill you like this, and the news spreads, I’ll lose face and die of shame. Mr.
Once confident that no one could hear their conversation, Leighton stealthily glanced around and said: “Do you think I’m a fool? How much can a small gift from Jonathan be worth? He’s wealthy but stingy with Adela’s relatives like us. I wouldn’t be involved in this matter if I were caring!”“Why did you invite him then? Isn’t that only making matters worse?” Marcelo was even more puzzled.“Have you forgotten? Miss Lydia is pregnant!” Leighton suddenly blurted out.Marcelo blinked: “What does that have to do with Jonathan going to San Diego?”“Of course, it’s related. You need to find out who the child’s father in Miss Lydia’s womb is, do you? That person cannot marry Miss Lydia. But the Harris family’s fortune is enormous, and they can’t let their unmarried daughter have a child. They can’t abandon the baby, so they are looking for...”“A scapegoat?” Marcelo suddenly realized.“Exactly! Although Jonathan is rich, the Harris family has a decisive influence in San Diego. Jonathan’s cond
Over ten minutes later, the two arrived at a large square.The closely packed stalls were adorned with twinkling lanterns, carrying a nostalgic atmosphere.Many customers surrounded each stall."It's bustling, but not as much as before. I remember the last time I came here, it was so crowded, just like an anthill!"Adela looked at the scene and reminisced, a faint smile appearing on her lips."When was the last time you came here?""Probably about ten years ago." Adela said without thinking.Jonathan glanced at her, raising his eyebrows slightly: "Ten years ago?"Adela nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, I came with my father… Don't say more. Let me treat you to some grilled food! When my father was alive, he loved grilled food and beer the most. Last time, my father secretly took me here without telling my mother."Adela pulled Jonathan towards a grilled food stall. Following her, Jonathan finally understood why Adela had called him out so late.It turned out that she was missing someone.As
