Valerie left the room without hesitation, quickly returning with a medium-sized handheld mirror. She didn't waste a moment before presenting it to her grandfather.Upon receiving the mirror, Old Man Morgan hastily directed the stuff toward his face. Moments later, his hands trembled violently, becoming unnaturally limp. Unbeknownst to him, the mirror slipped from his grasp and shattered.He touched his face and became hysterical."Good heavens! This is unbelievable!" he gasped, eyes wide in awe and amazement. "Look at my face! It's like I've turned back the clock!"He wasn't wrong at all.The wrinkles on his face had disappeared. Her rough skin had become smooth. And even his eyes, which had been myopic and blurry, were now healthy and clear again.Albert Morgan stared in disbelief at the transformation. Now, he appeared even younger than his own son!Valerie, Johan, and Susan gazed upon the scene with tears welling up in their eyes.Meanwhile, Benjamin regarded Old Man Morgan with a
While everyone indulged in Albert's barbecue, Valerie suddenly spoke up to Albert, "Grandpa, I believe Morgan Company Limited has grown substantial enough to consider potential acquisitions of small startup companies. We've amassed a significant capital, thanks to the $20 million contract from Platinum Estate."Valerie conveyed her intention, "So, I'm contemplating renaming the company to Morgan Group. What do you think, Grandpa?"Old Man Morgan replied without hesitation, "That's a good idea, Valerie. How can you get such a great thought like that? I'm totally with you. If you're considering acquiring some subsidiaries, changing the company name to Morgan Group won't hurt. It won't have any impact on our previous contracts; they're already set in stone."Valerie smiled joyfully and added, "Grandpa, since you've given your approval, I'll organize a press conference tonight to announce that intention to the public. Anyway, your presence will be needed."This time, Albert gazed at his g
Benjamin waved his hand, signaling for Joshua to dismiss the concern. Now, it was Joshua's turn to seek guidance, "Mr. Frost, I've been invited to address the media in a press conference to confirm the contract awarded to Morgan Company Limited. I'm unsure about what to say. Could you provide some advice?"With a casual air, Benjamin responded, "Since you've sought my advice, I'll send it to you via instant message shortly."Simultaneously, the familiar sound of footsteps reached Benjamin's ears. As he turned his head in the direction of the sound, he spotted Valerie making her way toward him.Tonight, the girl exuded formality. She donned an executive suit, complemented by black loafers, and a subtle touch of makeup.Nevertheless, the girl's innate beauty remained impossible to conceal. She continued to stand out, drawing more attention than her counterparts. Some men, irrespective of age, couldn't help but gaze at her with a sense of fascination and excitement."Finally, Valerie Mor
Exactly half an hour later, the organizers' voices echoed from speakers in every corner of the room."Ladies and gentlemen, we invite you to come to the press room and take your seats. The conference will begin in a few minutes."Not waiting any longer, journalists rushed into the press room and began setting up recording equipment on the podium and cameras at the sides of the room.On the other hand, the company's guests, who were mostly businessmen, quietly entered the press room and took their seats.Benjamin sat at the very back corner, a place where he would get a wide vantage point without being the center of attention.It was on this bench that he would witness the downfall of Nathan and the Grave family with a big smile.Now, Valerie walked across the stage to the podium. Blasts of light from the dozens of cameras of the media accompanied her every step, giving her the impression of being the eldest girl of a very popular family.As she stood behind the podium, Valerie calmly
None of the guests could conceal their astonishment as Albert Morgan, Valerie's grandfather, gracefully stepped onto the stage. Faces that had been marked by doubt were now etched with confusion and disbelief. The Albert they knew, the long-time chairman of Morgan Company Limited rumored to have been paralyzed by a stroke, now stood before them, appearing younger and more vibrant.Some guests rubbed their eyes, as if attempting to dispel a hallucination, but the stunning reality persisted. Albert Morgan had undergone a miraculous transformation.With a warm smile, Albert greeted the guests. "I'm sure many of you are surprised by this change. Life does throw us surprises sometimes. Just three days ago, I was lying in a hospital bed, and here I am standing before you."A soft chuckle sounded from Albert, implying that this incident might be part of his marvelous plan."Do I look different?" he asked in a casual tone. "Maybe some of you think this is a trick or an illusion. However, I wa
The tension in the room escalated rapidly. Nathan's piercing eyes held a significant meaning as they locked onto Diane, causing her heart to flutter. She was terrified of the implications behind Nathan's intense gaze.With a gasp, Diane clutched Nathan's arm, her eyes pleading with uncertainty. "Nathan, please... Don't make me go to Benjamin. It'll be so embarrassing for me. Can't you find another way?"Nathan looked at her coldly, his resolve unwavering. "Do you think I'd willingly let you go to Benjamin? Of course not! You should understand that I was compelled to do this. As strong as my attraction to you may be, it has never outweighed the responsibility of upholding the Grave family's honor that rests on my shoulders. Please, don't protest. This is an incident no one desires."Diane, though frightened, couldn't hold back her explosive anger. Her eyes sparkled, and she exclaimed in a loud, hateful voice, "An accidental incident? Are you kidding me, Nathan? You deliberately and kno
Diane's conscience remained sincere and clear. If only her mother hadn't pressured her to hastily divorce Benjamin and marry a wealthier man, perhaps they would still be living together now. She couldn't help but imagine a life where she and Benjamin continued their simple marriage, a life that she believed would bring her genuine happiness and satisfaction.After Nathan callously walked away without a second thought, Diane lost her faith in wealthy men. All she desired now was to reunite with Benjamin and return to the simplicity of their old days.In tears, she implored once more, her voice quivering with desperation, "Benjamin, I beg you to reconsider. I acknowledge my mistake, a fleeting moment of confusion. If you're willing to take me back, I promise to carve out a life for us that's decent and honorable. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make amends and rebuild what we had."As she uttered these words, Diane's sincerity was palpable. If Benjamin chose to return to her, sh
Recognizing the situation, Graham was eager to depart from this accursed place as swiftly as possible. However, a glimmer of hope lingered in his mind, prompting him to make one last attempt with Benjamin. Perhaps, only that young man held the key to curing his lung cancer.The urgency pressed upon him; if not cured soon, he faced the grim reality of succumbing within a matter of months!In the face of a life-or-death situation, Mr. Graham cast aside all shyness and resolved not to surrender.He gazed at Benjamin, tears streaming down his face. "My son, it was sheer foolishness on my part in the past. We all make mistakes from time to time, don't we? I implore you to find it in your heart to forgive me and grant me more time to live, allowing me the chance to repent! Please, I beg you, cure my illness, and in doing so, grant me the opportunity to make amends for the errors of my past."As Mr. Graham began to crawl, intending to kiss his shoes, Benjamin snapped, "Halt right there!"Mr.
