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
Back From Prison! Chapter 208: Surprising Both.
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
Back From Prison! Chapter 209: The Harassment Of Almira.
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
Back From Prison! Chapter 211: Lurking Danger.
Ting ting!Minutes later, Milcah called again, the ringtone shattering the still atmosphere.Jonathan answered the call."Who just called you? And about Adela...""Don't explain anything to Adela just yet. Let's wait a bit longer.” Jonathan replied, weary evident.The next morning.Jonathan's subordinate arrived at the mansion, urging Walter and Almira to get in the car to return to Los Angeles.Anxious, Walter asked the subordinate: “Where's Jonathan? Are we supposed to meet him on the way?"There was no problem with returning to Los Angeles. The issue was they had to return together!After hearing Almira recount the previous night's events, Walter was irate. He thought that with Almira's beauty, a slight opportunity would be enough to enchant Jonathan.The result? A failed attempt that only led to more trouble!Reflecting upon this, Walter regretted acting rashly because he was so eager for Almira to get close to Jonathan.He regretted provoking Jonathan."Young Wang ordered me pers
