Jonathan and Roger were unfamiliar faces here, so no one came to greet them. Thus, they casually found a spot and enjoyed a glass of champagne.“Judging by the scale of this event, Isaac dotes on his granddaughter.” Jonathan observed the brightly lit room and casually commented.The higher one’s position, the more one hates exposing family affairs. Isaac wouldn’t have organized such a grand birthday party if he didn’t truly love his granddaughter.“That’s right. Her grandfather must dearly love Grace!” Roger replied.The two briefly discussed the party before quickly changing the subject.They were here for Isaac, not Grace, so there was no need for extensive commentary about a twenty-year-old girl.“Jonathan!”Not long after, someone suddenly called Jonathan’s name.Surprised, Jonathan glanced over and saw an excited person approaching.Unexpectedly, he encountered Esther here today.Today, Esther wore a black evening gown that looked very elegant.Her face lit up upon seeing Jonatha
If he were to cause trouble at the Clarke family party, he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences."Investigate a man named Jonathan Wang for me. Also, temporarily suspend all promotion channels for 'Big City.' If Win'X Cultural Company has any complaints, tell them to come to find me! I want Esther to kneel and beg me!"It took a while before Clinton made a phone call.It had rained during the day, making the evening temperature relatively low.There was a cold wind, and not many people were outside.Esther slightly huddled, feeling the chill, but her heart felt even colder."I also witnessed dirty things in the entertainment industry when I was young. At eighteen, people began to have ulterior motives toward me. That was when my contract with the company expired, and I decided to listen to my father, withdraw from the industry and become an ordinary person. But unexpectedly, I couldn't leave this world. Jonathan, you must be laughing at me."Disappointment filled Esther's words.
Jonathan immediately revealed a deep and mysterious smile.He sighed and said: "Mr. Johnson, I honestly don't understand why you're so keen on being the owner of Top-Sky House. It's to be a hot potato. In less than two months, Augustus will head south, and the leader of Top-Sky House will face a crisis. I want to step down, but you seem to want that position. Is it that great?"Roderick laughed, saying: "You can't feel the back pain when standing and talking. How would I know if it's good or not if I haven't tried it? It's like women – looking at their beauty isn't enough. You must try them out to see if they're a good match. I want to try."The atmosphere in the room seemed harmonious, but in reality, it was tense and full of gunpowder.Roderick's attitude was firm. If he didn't return to Top-Sky House, he would cut off all ties and become a king in his empire.On the contrary, he would only return triumphantly if allowed to be the leader.In truth, this wasn't the issue.Jonathan st
Tears welled in her eyes when Esther woke up the next day, thinking of the previous night.Ultimately, she couldn't escape... but her body was still clean and intact, showing no signs of violation. Esther's cold heart suddenly flickered with a glimmer of light. Did Clinton spare her last night?But suddenly, a voice rang out:"If my people had arrived just one step later, Clinton might have humiliated you. Esther, don't you have my phone number? Didn't you think to call me when you encountered such a situation?"It was Jonathan's voice. So, it was Jonathan who saved her."I, I didn't want to bother you! Oh, right. Did Clinton give you any trouble?"Esther now understood the situation. As Jonathan had said, he had helped her escape the jaws of a tiger last night.This would undoubtedly lead to conflicts.Would Jonathan confront Clinton?"Clinton won't be a problem for me. Alright, eat your porridge. It'll help sober you up. Once you've finished, I'll have someone take you back to your
Jonathan’s sharp gaze was fixed on Nolan, mixed with a touch of complexity.Top-Sky House in the past was full of talented people.A person with a lame leg like Swara could be ranked among the top seven generals, his prowess not inferior to Roderick’s.If it came to a contest of strength, perhaps only Roderick and Jacob could defeat Nolan!Originally, Top-Sky House, with such an abundance of talent, should have flourished.However, everything changed after Wolfgang went to prison.Like a snake without a head, everyone pursued different things.The seven strongest generals who once protected Top-Sky House each went their separate ways for their own interests.The three kings of the Southwest, Phelim, Roderick, and Jacob, all rose to prominence thanks to the foundation of Top-Sky House.The eldest among the seven generals passed away due to old age, while another lost hope and vanished, likely never to return.As for Nolan, he was the most peculiar.Despite his lame leg, he still held a
Osmund felt relieved they hadn't instigated a fierce conflict in the bar, otherwise, who knows what kind of punishment he would have suffered.However, there was a significant problem; he had invited serious trouble for Mr. Alexander.Phelim stared at Osmund with frustration: "It seems you have finally learned your place and grown afraid! I had thought you feared nothing in Los Angeles and would keep stirring up trouble."Phelim didn't reprimand Osmund further; this time, Osmund had committed a grave error by messing with Phelim's long-time friend.But no matter how significant Osmund's mistake was, Phelim couldn't punish him to death."You guys don't know better! I told you to broaden your mind to learn how to do legitimate business. The times have changed. Look at those people from the past who specialized in fighting and killing. Has any of them ended well?""I suppose I can't change your thuggish ways.""Fine, Osmund, you stay; the rest of you go and rest until I feel merciful eno
"Zachary!"Jonathan walked in, sitting down opposite Zachary.Wearing a pair of glasses in his thirties, Zachary looked quite refined.He lifted his head to look at Jonathan and asked: "What would you like to drink?""Anything is fine. I'm not familiar with these things." Jonathan answered nonchalantly."Blue Mountain."Zachary decided on behalf of Jonathan, then glanced around the spacious coffee shop devoid of patrons and said: "I like peace, so I booked the entire place."Jonathan smiled and nodded in acknowledgment: "I could tell."Everyone has their eccentricities, especially people of talent - they tend to be more peculiar.In many ways, Zachary was a peer of Jonathan's.As recorded in his profile, Zachary was only thirty-five this year, but ten years ago, when Wolfgang went to jail, he was already the second in command of the Strike Division. Moreover, Zachary had quietly grasped control of the Strike Division then.Hence, his subsequent inheritance of the division's leadership
"What's the matter? Didn't I tell you to call me if anything happens? With such a big issue happening, why didn't you contact me?" Jonathan looked at Esther and asked."I was afraid of bothering you." Esther retorted.In fact, it's not that she's afraid of bothering him but that she's worried he won't be able to contend with the other party.Jonathan curled his lips in response: "In fact, in this matter, you're just the sacrificial lamb. Their target is me. One could even say that Clinton is just a pawn, and the person who orchestrated this play isn't him!"Suddenly, the three people in the office all exchanged glances.The puppet master isn't Clinton?"Then who is it?""It's Roderick!" Roger, who had been standing nearby, finally spoke up.The atmosphere in the office plummeted.Father and son Zorion had assumed that this situation was due to Clinton acting under Roderick's support.But they had never considered that Roderick himself orchestrated this.These two situations were entir
