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
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
"Mr. Wang, if you can't progress with Adela, don't leave her to cease! If you don't like Adela, you must prefer a different type of girl, right? What do you think of Mr. Dermot's sister?"At this point, Leighton said: "Mr. Wang, just look at Mr. Dermot's sister. She's stunning, and she comes from a wealthy family as well. I think the two of you would make a great couple! Why not think about it? Adela with Mr. Dermot as one pair, and you with Miss Lydia as another - it would be perfect!""Uncle, will you stop it!" Adela could no longer keep her calm upon hearing his vulgar matchmaking attempts.However, Lydia nodded as if she was considering something and said: "I think it's a good idea!""The Harris family? I don't like him, so stop daydreaming." Adela said, her anger flaring."Are you upset? Even though I'm not a kingpin in San Diego, I'm not that insignificant either. Jonathan, don't refuse a toast or be forced to drink a penalty! I know you're arrogant because you have money, but l
The following morning,Adela came knocking on Jonathan's door. After he had dressed, he opened the door and invited her in."What's the matter so early in the morning?"Adela hesitantly said: "I told my mom about last night!""Oh, what did she say?" Jonathan asked, sitting down on the armrest of the sofa.This wasn't the first time Leighton had betrayed Adela for his benefit.Sienna must be very disappointed in her brother."From now on, our two families will have no more dealings except with my grandmother." Adela honestly replied.Leighton was a stubborn person."Today, I came to ask when you'll be leaving. My mom doesn't want to stay here any longer." Adela continued.Sienna had been excited to stay with her mother in San Diego for a few days.But who would have thought that Leighton, for his selfish reasons, would push his niece Adela to the brink of disaster?Disappointed, Sienna no longer felt like staying.Jonathan nodded in understanding: "I'll be here for a few more days, but
Two o’clock in the afternoon.Jonathan arrived punctually at the CAB club, where a staff member led him to Jacob’s office.The other man had been waiting for quite some time.“The ocean’s waves push forward, one after another. Seeing Mr. Wang’s demeanor, all I can think is that I’m getting old. The future still belongs to young men like you.” he said.Jacob smiled and stood up to greet him, extending a hand and saying: “Please, have a seat!”Jonathan responded with a beaming smile: “Of course, not a problem.”Jonathan stared intently at Jacob while Jacob glared back at him angrily. Their eyes locked, neither willing to back down or show any sign of weakness.People can also have a rebellious streak.Perhaps Jacob didn’t have strong feelings for Lydia, only having her bear a son.The child growing inside Lydia was the essence of him bloodline.After a while, Jonathan suddenly burst out laughing, breaking the silence.He said: “With Jacob’s current status, there’s no need to fear Whelan
