Back From Prison! Chapter 203: Almira Gets Married.
"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
Back From Prison! Chapter 204: 'You Believe In That Scam?'
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

Inside the mansion.Fidgeting over her meal, Almira kept glancing at the clock. It was after nine, and Jonathan had yet to return. She feared he wouldn't come back tonight either.She glanced at Walter as if asking him to intervene, fearing that if he didn't, there would be no chance to see Jonathan tonight if he didn't."Cough, Milcah, where did the young man go tonight? Why hasn't he returned this late?" Walter turned to Milcah and asked.He had gone out with Adela and Curtis. If not for these two, Milcah would have joined them too.However, Milcah didn't say that but merely replied: “I don't know either, uncle. Were you looking for him for some reason?"With a vague expression, Walter said: “Nothing much. He has done a big favor for our family, and I haven't had a chance to treat him to a decent meal yet. Considering how busy he is and we must leave tomorrow, I wanted to invite him to dinner tonight to express our gratitude.""I... It shouldn't be necessary. Jonathan isn't the kind

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

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
