Saint's gaze on Nevaeh was complex as he said: “I've told you before. If you think Darius is your destined one, then file for divorce. I will sign."Nevaeh, beautiful and immaculate, seemed utterly lost.She had witnessed Saint's efforts, his complete fulfillment of a husband's duties.But how would her brother get married if she didn't remarry Darius? How could she help continue the Li family lineage?As her mother said, if she refused, she would snuff out the Li family's flame, becoming the family's disgrace!The thought pained her and left her unsure of what to do.There was another reason too.Though she didn't want to admit it, the truth was that after three years of marriage, the love she thought was true had been worn down.No matter how hard Saint tried, he couldn't provide Nevaeh with the affluent, respected life she desired.The sheer mediocrity of it all had led to countless cracks in Nevaeh's marriage."Saint, I believe we should divorce."Nevaeh dropped her gaze, not dari
He and Jonathan might be different, but they also had many similarities.People of their cultivation level make decisions based on their own free will, not swayed by a few words of advice from others.Whether he returned to Top-Sky House or not was for Saint to decide. Jonathan could only explain the current situation and couldn't persuade him.Jonathan held a cigarette, taking occasional drags, his silence not infringing on Saint's decision.If Saint chose not to return, Jonathan would turn and leave without a second's delay.Even additional persuasion would be useless."I don't need the position at the top of Top-Sky House! But Augustus forced Old Man Walsh into the southern prison, leaving him to die there. This grudge must be avenged!""Jonathan, I'll help you!"After a long period of contemplation, Saint finally made up his mind.He agreed to return!Saint couldn't ignore Wolfgang's grudge, but he also had another reason. He had just been kicked out of the house, so he had no wor
"Ha ha ha, Saint was kicked out by your family. How could he come and save you now? Even if he were here, what could he possibly do? Nevaeh, accept your fate!"Indeed, how could Saint come to her rescue now?Nevaeh was utterly hopeless, and tears of humiliation freely streamed down her cheeks.However, just as Darius was about to rip off the last piece of her clothing, a loud noise echoed through the room, and the door swung wide open."Who dares to ruin my fun?" Darius snapped, spinning around in fury: "It's you!"Nevaeh saw her savior: "Saint!"The man was indeed Saint."Sorry for the interruption, my friends and I were dining next door when we heard a loud noise, so I came to check it out. I hope we're not intruding?"Saint frowned, his tone calm as if the matter didn't involve him.Darius smirked wickedly: “Saint, how about this, you stay and watch me have my fun with Nevaeh, and tomorrow I'll give you half a million."The thrill was indescribable to trample Nevaeh right in front
"No way! How can you have no money? If so, where did you get the five hundred thousand?" Nevaeh questioned incredulously."I may not have money, but I am not short of wealthy friends. Do you understand? It's the two who visited our home a few days ago. If I ask, they could even lend me five hundred million.” Saint replied sarcastically.Nevaeh felt a chill run through her heart. If this were true, what did Saint's wealth have to do with him?Nevaeh stuttered: “Saint... I didn't want to divorce. Believe me!""That's right, brother-in-law. Sister truly loves you. Forget about today. It was that cheap woman Sara who seduced you. We... we understand. Or... you two could remarry. Our family would still welcome you."Elmer looked utterly sincere, as though she had realized that a lover was like clothing, but a brother-in-law should be valued more.Saint with money was different from before. But what if Saint had returned to live in the Top-Sky House just out of jail? How could he have met a
After a few simple congratulations, Esther stepped down from the stage to the regretful gazes of the audience."May I sit here?"Esther approached, her eyes twinkling with mischief.This scene made Derek immensely uncomfortable.Had he and Jonathan swapped places, he would have been at the receiving end of Esther's playful wink."Of course! This spot has been reserved for Miss Esther. Certainly, you can sit here!"Not waiting for Jonathan's response, Derek stood up, introducing himself while urging Jonathan to make room: “Hello, Miss Esther, I'm Derek. Nice to meet you. Brother, could you scooch over a bit and make room for Miss Esther?"Jonathan reluctantly moved his chair to the right to create room for Esther."Hello, I'm Esther."Initially, Esther wasn't interested in Derek, but when he called Jonathan 'brother,' things changed.Derek stared at her intently, and Esther might have even returned a smile.Watching Esther, Phoebe couldn't suppress her laughter, finding the idea of her
"What are you staring at my son for? Keep eating!" Phoebe was upset at this.Esther also noticed something was off with Jonathan. She asked softly: “Did something happen?"Jonathan exhaled and put his phone into his pocket: “Nothing. Derek, after we finish eating, I have something to discuss with you."Roger had investigated the elemental stone investment case. It was not a mental contest of buying and selling, but a scam!Derek deceived people into helping the bookmaker on the investment side of the elemental stones.But the current situation was not suitable for him to interrogate Derek."What is it that you can't say now?" Derek was unaware of the situation, so he retorted impatiently."You'll find out soon."Crash!Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed chaotically.Upon hearing the sound, Derek twisted his head, beaming a cheeky smile: “Brother-in-law, have you arrived already? You seem a bit off-color..."Crash!The clamor of shattered glass echoed throughout the room.
"You, why did you...""There was a hidden story behind that. Someone framed me. But if we talk about the crime, I can't say I was innocent because I did harm a girl.” Jonathan confessed truthfully.Usually, these matters didn't need to be brought up, but once they had been mentioned, there was no need to hide them."So, how is she now?""She's doing well. If fate allows, I'll give her an identity.""I see.” Esther replied, striving to hide her sadness.Jonathan's transgression wasn't utterly unforgivable in such a circumstance, but he had wronged a woman.Given Jonathan's nature, he would undoubtedly accept his responsibilities.On the other hand, Esther found it unfathomable that any woman would turn down a man like Jonathan in this world.She hadn't known him long, but in her eyes, Jonathan could be described as 'perfection' personified on this planet.Regrettably, they were not destined for each other.Nightfall.A gleaming black Maybach parked outside the hotel as Jonathan, Phoebe
About ten minutes later, Derek's phone rang again.As soon as he hastily answered, Ryder's voice came from the other end: “Mr. Farrer agreed to meet that young aristocrat. When will you two arrive at Slab?""Around seven in the evening.” Derek muttered, doing quick mental calculations."Okay, call me when you get there. I will send the address."Jonathan had predicted this outcome. Who could resist the allure of a hundred million?Even if Farrer harbored doubts, he would agree to meet them in the initial stages.As the afternoon rolled in, Jonathan, idly playing with his phone in his room, was interrupted by a knock on the door."Who is it?""Jonathan, it's me."Almira.Jonathan rose to his feet, opened the door, and softly asked Almira: “What brings you here?"Almira responded with a faint smile: “Can't I come in for a chat?""Come in!"Jonathan didn't refuse, stepping aside to let Almira in.Once inside, Almira immediately revealed her distress: “Jonathan, you must help me. If I don
