Nathan was a crownless king of the Northern military region, poised to become the supreme commander. How could his fighter jet have been so effortlessly rigged with explosives? This incident took place over two decades ago, yet certain aspects remain eerily peculiar. There's no doubt a grand conspiracy lurking beneath. And Brian, the patriarch of the Wang family and Nathan's biological father, certainly must be privy to the truth of what transpired. But Jonathan knew he couldn't pry. For doing so would risk exposing his identity. Logically speaking, since Brian was Jonathan's paternal grandfather, he should be forthright with him. Yet Jonathan feared that Nathan's death might have been tied to Brian. It's even possible that he masterminded it. Once interests are at stake, even familial bonds can fray. The Wangs, being a premier family in the nation, meant that kinship ties were always tenuous. "Our generation has heard much of Nathan's legacy. But who could've foreseen the i
Jonathan said: “Reschedule your meeting. Tonight, come with me to see Charles's grandfather." Gladys gripped her handbag tighter, her eyes widening: “You mean the elder Mr. Wise?" In New York's establishment, the older one gets, the more valuable they become. Many older adults worried they couldn't reach high positions when they were in power, but those who had been in the establishment for decades had extensive networks and were significant players. Especially someone as renowned as the elder Mr. Wise. Moreover, Aubrey had started this whole mess. If she could meet the elder, Mr. Wise, she could explain everything clearly. He could quickly restore her innocence if he didn't favor his grandson. Gladys hadn't expected Jonathan to arrange a meeting with such an influential figure for her sake! "Okay, I'll call my manager." Without hesitation, Gladys immediately pulled out her phone and called her manager. Even if they managed to meet with Star's senior manager, it wasn't sure h
After Aubrey ushered them out, he lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and declared: “Jonathan, I won't forget your face!" The implications of such a statement were far from pleasant. Yet, Jonathan, an open-minded man, retained his composed demeanor and responded with a smile: “To be remembered by Master Aubrey is my fortune. But I hope you won't forget to absolve Gladys either." "Humph, even if I wanted to, I couldn't forget!" Charles grumbled coldly. Despite his resentment towards Jonathan, the task was assigned by his grandfather, and he had no choice but to comply. "Good then." Jonathan smiled and began to stride forward, casually saying: “Master Wise, you may return. There's no need to see me off." Jonathan harbored no expectations of Aubrey's kindness when he brought the matter to Grandfather Baldwin. He even anticipated offending Charles. But achieving one's goal without offending anyone was practically impossible. There was only sometimes a solution that pleased all parties
At this point, Kieran, with his beer belly, had finished his bath, wrapped a white towel around his waist, lying on the bed with his legs crossed and a cigar in his mouth. He was picturing Gladys's beautiful face and hot body, and he couldn't help but feel excited. "This woman is truly captivating!" Kieran chuckled wickedly to himself. As for the possibility of Gladys not coming, he hadn't considered it at all. The fame of Gladys had already faded. If he added another devastating blow, her peaceful exit from the entertainment industry would be a tough challenge. Unless Gladys wanted to destroy herself, she would undoubtedly have to serve him tonight! Thinking about this, Kieran couldn't help but feel triumphant. Although not bring glory and riches, his position in Star company allowed him to "taste" many female stars. Countless public goddesses had become his playthings. Every time he thought about it, he felt an immense excitement. Knock, knock! A knock on the door sounded
"By the way, you're not that young anymore. How come you don't have a girlfriend?" Daisy asked suddenly, sitting cross-legged on the sofa. A girlfriend? Jonathan frowned, thinking of Adela, even Orla William. He smiled bitterly: “I have a girlfriend, and not just that, I was once married and had a daughter. However, she and I have a pact that lasts a year." "The current girlfriend? I couldn't tell you're quite the ladies' man." Daisy casually responded she didn't expect Jonathan's love life to be so rich, but it wasn't surprising either. Given his circumstances, the last thing he lacked was women, and a long love life was hardly a surprise. Yet what she hadn't expected was that Jonathan even had a daughter. "Well, matters of the heart are hard to predict. She and I...at first, we were like oil and water. But after spending time together and understanding each other, we gradually grew fond of each other. However, as her status grew, I fear everything might change." "Honestly, I
According to the contract, even if Sacred Tour Entertainment decides to freeze Gladys, they still have to pay the total contract fee. Moreover, Star Entertainment has already made its stance clear. If Sacred Tour Entertainment wishes to retain Gladys, they will likely offend Star Entertainment. Sacred Tour Entertainment can't afford to offend them, even if it's just a single Kieran. Out of options, Star is too powerful, and Sacred Tour Entertainment might not even be fit to be their bootlickers. Therefore, resolving the issue with Gladys is the best course of action! However, terminating the contract involves the matter of breach of contract compensation. Sacred Tour doesn't want to pay! So, they could only resort to 'attacking' Gladys to make her agree to leave without taking a penny. Everything was going smoothly. Gladys was about to agree. But at this moment, someone suddenly popped up, intending to ruin everything. Director Silas and the board members were utterly frustrat
"Which of the three largest entertainment companies in New York is Mr. Alexander affiliated with?" Jonathan posed straightforwardly, given that the conversation was already open. "Are you looking for a company for her? Let me see…" Augustus pondered out loud: “The owner of Star Entertainment is Erasmus, who is friendly with the Wang family. He and I share no connections. The owner of Myth Entertainment is Osmund Connor, who's the head of a large conglomerate and has little influence. Even if you reach out to him, it will be futile for Gladys!" "Lastly, there's Galaxy Media, whose owner, Sherwin, has an excellent relationship with Bernie. But Jonathan, it would be easy for Galaxy Media to take Gladys in. However, if Gladys's news isn't cleared, even if Sherwin respects Bernie, she won't have resources for further development." "This is an era where news can explode easily. Once the public labels Gladys as a woman of ill repute, no matter how much backing she receives from the big bos
"If Jonathan doesn't return, I'll treat Derek Wang as my grandson for the rest of my life. But whether he can smoothly inherit the Wang family's fortune and become the future patriarch depends on his fate. You should know that even with your support, it would still be tough.” Brian said. Finally, Leonard understood. He looked at Brian with a teasing gaze, a cold smile curling his lips. "You want to protect Jonathan, don't you!" He had figured out everything. The most formidable entities in the Wang family were not the patriarch, Brian, but, indeed, Andrew and his son, Michael. Years ago, when the previous patriarch of the Wang family - Brian's father - was on his deathbed, he declared his intent to bypass Brian and install Nathan as the family head. This proclamation ignited a whirlwind of scandal and controversy. Nathan's fighter jet experienced malfunctions while en route to New York. His wife perished in the ensuing explosion, but Nathan survived. Nevertheless, on his journey
