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
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."
Prison No. 1 - Southwest Direction. Jonathan Wang, clad in an aged coat, stood outside the iron gate, peering up at the sky with a hint of desolation in his eyes, squinting slightly. His wife’s words from the past echoed in his ears. “I only have one little brother, who is still too naive. If you expose him, resulting in his imprisonment, it’ll be the end of his life. Jonathan Wang, as things have escalated, please take all the blame. Once you’ve served a few years in jail, we can live together again!” Six years ago, at a social gathering, his brother-in-law drugged a young woman, intending to violate her. However, when they got her into the room and started undressing her, he discovered she was not just any girl but the daughter of a prominent family in Elite Summit. He was so terrified that he lost all control. If he were to violate her, there would undoubtedly be serious consequences. But the drugged girl was not in her senses, her body burning with heat, indicating that the d
"I dare anyone to proceed with the surgery!" The booming, angry voice echoed through the room, and Jonathan, with a furious look, entered with Tommy. All eyes filled with rage were focused on him. "Who the hell are you to make a scene in front of the Thomas family? Let me tell you, I'm Devlin Thomas, my friends here in Elite Summit call me 'Thomas the Second'. Show some sense and scram, and I'll generously let you off the hook!" Devlin Thomas wanted to hurry up with the surgery, fearing further delay might lead to complications. Therefore, he decided not to pick a fight with this newcomer. He proactively introduced himself so that this man, hearing of his fame, would know better than to stick around. This man, Thomas's reputation, is highly esteemed in Elite Summit, enough to induce fear in everyone. Jonathan looked at him and said coldly: "I've heard of your fame, but have you ever heard of me?" Everyone in the waiting room of the operating theatre observed, noticing that the
“Save my daughter first!” Jonathan was anxious to see Carla and had no time to deal with these people. Devlin’s face was unsightly, but he dared not speak. Without Carla Wang’s marrow, his daughter would also die. But if he insisted on transplanting Carla Wang’s marrow into Neala, the Thomas family would be done for! “Aren’t you leaving yet!” Kane angrily looked at his second son. Why was he still standing there frozen at a time like this? Just then, the operating room door opened. A young girl with a pale face, leading a plump little girl by the hand, came out. The little girl looked very well-behaved, her eyes similar to Jonathan’s, but she was somewhat chubby compared to girls her age due to excessive pampering. This wasn’t Carla Wang, Jonathan’s daughter, then who was she? Jonathan’s eyes flashed with a momentary blaze, teary-eyed. “Enough with the noise. I won’t undergo surgery anymore! Carla is still a child, and please spare her! Grandpa, Dad, I don’t want to go thro
Looking at the small villa before his eyes, Jonathan was far from happy. He had started working in his youth and founded an architectural firm worth hundreds of millions of dollars. When he married Orla, he bought this small villa worth a few million dollars. He had treated her sincerely, but all he received in return was betrayal and imprisonment...! Knock, knock, knock! Jonathan knocked on the door. Soon, the door opened from the inside. The person opening the door for Jonathan was a stunningly beautiful woman, well-maintained with a creamy complexion. Jonathan stared at her momentarily, a sense of unfamiliarity hanging between them as if several lifetimes had passed. "You're back?" Orla, too, seemed shocked, her face alarmed: "You got out yesterday. I had some issues and couldn't meet you. Can you understand?" "It's fine, and I'm out now anyway. What's this? Are you blocking the door to keep me out?" Jonathan asked a playful edge in her eyes. "Alright, come in..." As he
"No need." Jonathan shook his head and suddenly looked straight at Orla: "We can divorce, but only after Carla's birthday. Carla said he missed you, and his birthday is in two days. I hope you can attend Carla's birthday as a mother! After Carla's birthday, we will immediately go to the Bureau of Civil Affairs to proceed with the divorce." He wanted to give Carla a birthday party with both parents by his side. That would be their last birthday together! "Carla? Have you seen Carla?" Orla's face was full of shock. Wasn't Carla at the Thomas's preparing to donate marrow to Thomas's daughter? How could Jonathan see Carla? "I've brought Carla back from the Thomas's. We can divorce, and I can leave the house penniless, but I have one condition: it's that." Jonathan struggled to suppress the anger in his heart and said as calmly as possible. He felt outraged by thinking about Orla personally selling Carla to Thomas. For the money, this woman could even sell her child! Was there anythi
"Mr. Thomas, it's been a year. You can't just revoke like this!" Edward, who had a share in this fifty million USD, immediately said: "Mister Thomas, integrity is crucial in business. You're the head of the Thomas family, yet you behave like this. What kind of credibility will you have in the future?" "Fifty million USD, I give you two days to prepare together if you can't, use your company and mansion to offset the debt! Of course, you can try other tactics to make me concede. I, Devlin, am prepared for it all!" Devlin was adamant in his stance, but when he turned to Jonathan, he asked with some hesitation: "Young Wang, what do you think?" He did this because he wanted to figure out Orla's actions, deliberately wanting to help Young Wang reclaim his assets, hoping that this could earn Young Wang's forgiveness. Young Wang might not necessarily care about the company and this mansion, but they were still his properties, which outsiders should not touch. "Jonathan, please plead wit
