"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
Bang!Suddenly, Ryder barged in."What on earth are you doing?" Farrer fumed just as Ryder reappeared, setting him off instantly.Ryder hastily blurted out: “Mr. Farrer, Conal has arrived.""How does he know I am here?"Farrer was puzzled but didn't dwell on it: "I'm entertaining a guest. Ask him to wait a while."Conal, a wealthy and influential man in Slab, had not yet earned the right to boss Farrer around. Now, with a potential gold mine in front of him, who had time to entertain him?Running out of patience, Farrer left a terse command and continued to deceive Jonathan: "Young Wang, you should at least try investing ten or twenty million. You must not be aware of the current situation. Many people want to buy gemstones, so the minimum is already ten million"."If you only have one million, then...""Mr. Farrer, Conal has brought people in here!" Ryder's voice rang out suddenly.Farrer's face paled instantly, then flushed with anger: "Damn it! Is Conal so audacious to intrude into
Half an hour later, Milcah was off work. After exchanging a few words with Walter and Almira, she signaled to Jonathan that she would take care of the guests, allowing him to leave.Jonathan didn't hesitate, exchanging a few more words with Walter before departing from the mansion and driving to Adela's residence.He parked the car in the lot near Adela's house and ventured into the supermarket across the street. Then he dialed Adela."Just got home, preparing to cook dinner for Curtis. Anything important?" she inquired.Jonathan smiled: “Just wanted to give a small heads-up. There's a rice sale today at the supermarket across from your place. It's three pennies cheaper per pound. Life is hard. Every penny saved counts!""Why would you know about the supermarket sale? Are you so bored you'd ask about such things..."Adela suddenly seemed to catch on: “Jonathan, don't tell me you're at Van's supermarket across my place?"Jonathan didn't reply directly, continuing to stroll around the s
