Reminiscing, Daisy's face was a tableau of anguish. She revealed: "After my father was investigated for criminal activities, we lost touch for a while. During that time, Joel's father approached my mother, saying that if she agreed to transfer her shares and this estate, he would help forgive my father." "The outcome? My mother signed the transfer agreement, and my father jumped from a building!" In essence, Daisy's family was deceived! No wonder. Jonathan refrained from probing further, afraid of stirring up more turmoil within Daisy. Perhaps Daisy had suspicions about the oddities surrounding her father's circumstances but lacked concrete proof. Daisy was still a little girl, and her mother was just an ordinary woman. Even if they had suspicions, what could they possibly do? Or perhaps, they had indeed tried to unravel the truth but were met with impotent despair. Joel gave off an impression of being coldly indifferent - his company had gone bankrupt, yet he nonchalantly auc
Jonathan peacefully spent his Sunday and went to work as usual on Monday. At this time, Jonathan arrived at the sales department to tidy up some things first. Seeing Jonathan appear, Gregory, with teary eyes, rushed to grasp Jonathan's hand: "Do you have anything planned this morning?" Jonathan puzzled: "What happened?" Caught off guard by the question, Gregory awkwardly replied: "There are a few plans I'd like you to review to see if they're appropriate! Don't worry. It won't take up much of your time." "Don't you know! Since you came here, any important plan must be read by you before I can rest easy!" The implication was that Jonathan was incredibly competent, able to point out errors in any plan and ensure absolute safety. Jonathan immediately laughed heartily but waved him off: "It's not that I won't help, but I can't always be there for you. You should handle this one on your own. Besides, I'm about to resign." What?! Gregory felt like a lightning bolt had struck him. He
A medical license? Carnelian could only look toward Jonathan; she had no idea whether he had a medical license. At this point, Carnelian wasn't even sure if Jonathan knew anything about medicine, but given the critical circumstances, she took a risk. Seeing Carnelian's expression, the Kyle family members had all figured out the situation, they all seemed angered, and it appeared that she had created even more problems. "Ridiculous!" Harvey snorted heavily, expressing his anger. "Carnelian, New York's First Hospital, hosts the best physicians in the city and the country, and you dismiss their expertise, placing your trust instead in a young lad who knows nothing about treating this condition!" "Aren't you afraid of endangering your own grandfather's life?" "It would be best to heed what the doctor says." The Kyle family had made it explicitly clear that they had no intention of giving Jonathan a chance to prove his skills. This was no surprise to Jonathan. It was natural for th
"What do you want?" Harvey asked, struggling to suppress his anger, the little goodwill he had for Jonathan flying away like smoke in the wind. "Firstly, are you familiar with Bellamy? He has ordered me to leave New York within three days, or he'll handle me. Today is the deadline, so Mr. Kyle, you need to tell him not to cause me any trouble, at least for the next month!" As he spoke these words, Jonathan glanced at Carnelian. Carnelian's face flushed a deep red, for she was responsible for this predicament. "Fine, no one will harm you in the next month. I will talk to the Bellamy patriarch!" Regardless, Harvey was an influential figure who could at least ensure that much. "Secondly, I want to marry Carnelian!" After Jonathan declared his second condition, the hospital corridor seemed to explode. No one could believe it! "You... What are you saying? Are you trying to catch a swan while being a toad? Your ambitions need to be bigger! Asking to marry Carnelian, have you taken
After resting at home till the afternoon, Jonathan once again caught a ride to the hospital. He had returned the keys to Carnelian's 7 Series to the company. When Jonathan arrived, the hospital room was brimming with people, filled with laughter and chatter. Many murmured phrases like Mr. Kyle Senior having passed a calamity and expecting good fortune. But the moment they saw Jonathan, the laughter in the room abruptly silenced. As Jonathan had anticipated, the Kyles weren't thrilled to meet the savior who had saved their lives. The reason, of course, was his exorbitant demand. Jonathan didn't mind. He approached Harvey: "I'm here to check on Mr. Kyle Senior." "If you would, please." Harvey answered calmly, then stood up, raising his hand to signal the others to leave the sick room. At this moment, Leonard had awoken, his eyes shining bright. "Young man, sit down here." Leonard motioned for Jonathan to sit down on the edge of the bed. Jonathan was not standoffish. He sat d
Carnelian's cheeks twitched. She realized that Jonathan did not intend to converse politely with her. But remembering that he was the savior of her grandfather, Carnelian persisted patiently: "You don't have to worry about Bellamy. I'll be married in a month, and he won't care about you anymore. And if not, I'll speak to my grandfather and ask him to speak with Bellamy. He won't touch you then." "Jonathan, you are the benefactor who saved my life and also a benefactor to the Kyle family. We owe you a great debt!" The words "owe you" carried weight. However, it seemed as if Jonathan didn't care for them. Jonathan did not wish to continue this pointless conversation with Carnelian. He said: "For now, I won't be visiting Orchid. My resignation letter is already there; you can sign it whenever you want. Also, if there isn't anything important, please do not seek me out." Suddenly, Jonathan received a message which caused him to change his mind: "Ah, I don't want to go home now. Could
"Heard that Mr. Alexander's position at Adonis is shaky?" Jonathan asked skeptically. Augustus replied honestly: "Michael is a man of deep intentions. Back in the day, he invested a small stake in the Heavenly Emperor corporation, but at that time, I didn't understand his intentions. Thought he just wanted a certain position within the corporation. But this time, when my conquest of the Southwest failed, his stake has increased significantly". "Many people want Michael to take over Adonis, leading the sect to a new height." Hearing this, Jonathan understood. In essence, Adonis and the Heavenly Emperor conglomerate are one. Similar to Top-Sky House and the Seven Wonders conglomerate. Without financial support from the Seven Wonders, Top-Sky House could not exist. Similarly, Adonis in New York is an organization established by influential individuals who select a prestigious and talented person to develop the Heavenly Emperor from everyone's network of relationships and then engag
"That was your mother's choice, what's there to hide? I just think your mother was foolish, who else to blame!" However, Rowena boldly claimed that Joel's father's actions were not wrong back then, and if anyone was to blame, it was Daisy's foolish mother who agreed. "A sharp-tongued woman like you is indeed a perfect match for him. No wonder you two fell in love." At this point, Jonathan suddenly spoke, not waiting for the others to retort, he turned to Daisy, his tone both serious and gentle: "Bitten by a dog, surely you wouldn't bite back? This kind of person doesn't deserve our anger. Let's go have fun instead." Jonathan intended to lead Daisy away, unwilling to tarry any longer. However, Joel was triggered, promptly blocking Jonathan: "What do you mean? Who are you calling a dog?" Jonathan replied lightly: "Whoever acknowledges, it's them. Why are you stepping closer? Do you want to fight?" "I... I won't be fooled by you! Anyway, the fact that you like the loose woman, Dais
