"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.

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

The birthday celebration ended successfully. When the family took a commemorative photo, the old lady smiled delightedly. Perhaps she never expected that at her age, so close to the end of her life, she would still have her entire family gathered to celebrate her birthday.After Sienna and Adela were expelled from the Kyle residence, Leighton completely cut off contact with Sienna.Over the years, the old lady spoke briefly to Sienna over the phone.“Adela, tonight I have a dinner meeting with a business partner. Can you join me? Oh, and Mr. Wang can come too.”As they were about to leave, a few of Jonathan’s people were departing when Leighton hurriedly chased after them.Leighton knew that if he mentioned setting Adela up, she would definitely refuse, so he made up a story about a business partner.Adela frowned and asked: “Why would I join your dinner with a business partner?”“Now that you’re a senior manager at the M&N fashion company and in charge of the Moonlight brand, my part

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
