The second option Brian offered him was to completely forget his identity and resentment, to depart Crimson Ridge and live a normal life. If not, he had no choice but to return to being the fifth Young Master of the Wang family! But there are some things, once known, one can't pretend to be ignorant of. Jonathan remained silent, but he had made his decision in his heart. He couldn't leave Crimson Ridge calmly. Brian smiled knowingly, saying: "I knew you wouldn't go. If that's the case, then be assured and return to being the fifth Young Master of the Wang family. You don't want to join the military, don't want to work in the government, you don't even have to call me grandfather. I'll arrange a different path for you." "The groom's attire is prepared for you. Get ready a bit and then go to the wedding." Suddenly, Jonathan's eyes turned gloomy. He was supposed to marry Carnelian? "Grandfather Wang, at most I can accept the identity of the fifth Young Master of the Wang family.
Carnelian looked at him suspiciously and asked: "Why is it you?" "As you can see, I am indeed the true fifth Young Master of the Wang family, while Derek is an impostor!" There was no longer any need for pretense at this point. "When you came to Crimson Ridge, did you already know your true identity?" As Michael had announced this on behalf of the Wang family during the wedding, Carnelian had no doubts and proceeded to ask the next question. "I knew." Jonathan responded indifferently. Carnelian suddenly laughed out, angrily remarking: "That means while you were at Orchid Cosmetics, you knew I was your fiancée, yet you kept silent! Even when I was about to marry Derek, you had no intention of revealing the truth!" "Jonathan, I must say, I am impressed by you!" Even if they had no feelings for each other, Carnelian was still officially his fiancée. Yet, he acted as though he was indifferent. Previously, they had many opportunities to be together, but Jonathan never told the tru
Daisy curiously opened the document, her expression turning to astonishment upon a mere glimpse of the first page. "Is this... the deed transfer contract for this estate?" Could it be... Was Jonathan intending to gift her this mansion? "This place originally belonged to you, connected to your childhood memories. I once said, if I wasn't short of money, I wouldn't sell it. Now, I'm certain I won't be penniless in this lifetime, and even if I were, selling this place wouldn't make much difference." "Consider this estate a gift from me." Jonathan spoke with a sincere smile. "I... I can't accept this." Daisy hesitated for a moment before firmly declining. Indeed, this place used to be her home, but that was a long time ago. Moreover, the current worth of this estate exceeded a hundred million! And yet, Jonathan intended to gift it to her! How could she possibly repay such kindness? Jonathan calmly replied: "Why worry so much? If I'm offering it, you should accept! And if you d
Jonathan, exuding a suave demeanor, promptly produced his bank card. A big spender was indeed present! The receptionist's face bloomed like a flower at the sight. Swiftly, she swiped for the twenty thousand. Next, she hurriedly found someone to escort Jonathan to the room. The masseuse was a stunning woman with a voluptuous figure, quite the seductive sight. Any guest who couldn’t control themselves would, regardless of the intentions of a wholesome massage, inevitably falter. "From your accent, I guess you're not a local, right? Is this your first time at our place? You can call me Sadie, how should I address you?" Sadie inquired, a hint of eagerness in her voice. Jonathan responded: "Call me Mr. Wang, let's get started." Half an hour later, Jonathan was experiencing the 3880 massage package. Sadie, like a water snake, occasionally deliberately brushed against him, attempting to stir him. She had heard he was a generous patron. If she could seduce him, she'd be looking at a
Ten minutes or so later, Juliette led Jonathan outside. Seeing Jonathan and Juliette leaving together, Sadie was consumed with rage. Was Juliette stealing her client? But what could Sadie do? Confrontation was out of the question. Firstly, Juliette was the ace of their entertainment district, even the director had to pamper her, how else could they protect Juliette from Denish? Secondly, Sadie had to admit her own shortcomings. Client-stealing among the girls was a common occurrence in the entertainment district, success depended on one's own abilities. So, she had no choice but to swallow her anger. However, Sadie had learned a lesson, the first thing she did when she got outside was to charge two hundred thousand USD to Jonathan's card, regardless of the phony offers, there was still four hundred thousand USD in it. She could earn a hundred thousand USD once everything was invoiced, not a total loss. Any more than that and she wouldn't dare risk it. The city was dotted with
"Wouldn't joke about it, Crimson Ridge isn't like Crystal Cove, there they value discretion. Whether it's the government bigwigs or the wealthy businessmen, none of them flaunt their wealth, their houses typically not exceeding a thousand meters. Otherwise, if someone took offence, it would immediately cause trouble." Jonathan jestingly replied. It could be considered true. The elite in Crimson Ridge were modest, the Wang family's residence was only about five hundred meters, and only the younger generation preferred to show off. However, the Moore mansion was at least three thousand square meters. "Damn, having money but unable to show it off, how boring!" Sherlock exhaled, then asked: "Oh, Carnelian, you've just met your grandfather, right? Did he say anything? I've got a piece of news here, we've got a mandate from above that if we don't solve this case within the next five days, our Moore family is in trouble. They'll withdraw the project, and if they exploit it again in the f
With this in mind, there seemed to be no competition, might as well hand Freya over to Athelstan. But Jonathan seemed to imply something more. "Think about it, Freya's company is considered a senior player in the tech industry in Crystal Cove. It's worth a fortune, right?" "So, no matter how expensive that necklace is, it won't sway her." "Actually, your grandfather was right. Chasing a girl with money isn't a good habit. Moreover, Freya isn't the kind of girl who can be won over with money." "It might seem like Freya was swayed by Athelstan's gift, but it's actually because of the troubles the Moore family is facing." "If our family can weather this storm, then you are the one deserving of her, do you understand?" Upon hearing Jonathan's words, Sherlock gradually understood. No wonder, Freya's demeanor towards him today was slightly off, not as enthusiastic as usual. Previously, Freya had never treated him with such formality, even creating a push-and-pull atmosphere, so Sher
Now that Jonathan had a rough understanding of the situation, he still didn't know the details so he couldn't be decisive. But if the things Edward revealed to him were true, then it was indeed a big issue! Investigation from a Crimson Ridgeer was imperative to unravel the truth! "But..." Carnelian was still at a loss and anxious. "No buts." she was told: "If you don't follow my orders, your grandfather's Moore Group's real estate company will have to abandon its exploitation of Peaceful Island, and consequences could be even graver!" ... Meanwhile, at the Tremblay residence. Upon returning home, Edward was filled with apprehension. He had finally become aware that he seemed to have sparked off a disaster. A colossal disaster! How could he have recklessly revealed details about the Peaceful Island case to Jonathan? After deliberating, he ascended to the second floor and knocked on his grandfather's door. "Grandfather, it's Edward." "Come in." Cuthbert Tremblay's raspy vo
