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.
Benjamin simply nodded, though uncertain whether he'd ever find himself in need of Valerie's assistance.In comparison, Valerie's wealth, or even the entire family's combined assets, amounted to not even a tenth of the wealth currently under Benjamin's possession.While the Morgans were undoubtedly the wealthiest family in Regal Hill, the Frosts held the title of the richest in the entire country. The disparity between the two was like comparing the earth to the sky.Hence, it wouldn't be inaccurate to regard Valerie's offer to assist Benjamin as somewhat of a jest.At this point, Benjamin remarked, "It's getting late, and it wouldn't be wise to prolong our conversation. You have a busy day ahead tomorrow. I'll head back to my room and get some rest.""Oh, hold on a sec," Valerie interjected. "I heard there's this great movie that just came out. Haven't watched it myself, but my pals swear it's a tearjerker."Benjamin's forehead creased in confusion. The direction Valerie was heading
Forty-five minutes after Benjamin gave the order, Joshua's Audi sedan finally arrived at the Fort Valley park. The old man intentionally did not bring the car he usually drove for fear that Valerie would see and notice.At this time, Joshua got out of his car with a paper bag containing the herbs ordered by his master.On the other hand, Benjamin came out from behind the shadows of the trees and directly approached Joshua."I brought everything you ordered, Young Master." Joshua quickly transferred the cardboard bag to Benjamin.Nodding his head, Benjamin responded, "Good job. I have sent some money to your account to reimburse you for the cost of these herbs as well as your sleep. Sorry for disturbing you."Joshua rejected that. "You don't need to make up for my sleep or even apologize for it. My duties as your assistant are twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week. That means I don't have time for vacations and breaks to serve you. I do this with all my heart."Benjamin simply s
By three in the morning, Benjamin, fatigued yet content, decided to document the recipes and reactions of the successful Jade Young Pill and Shallow River Dragon Pill. With unwavering focus, he diligently entered this crucial information into his laptop.His success didn't instill fear of his writings being read by others; rather, he recognized that the crucial element in creating the pill was the white flame that materialized in his hand, something unique to him that no one else possessed.As the sun began to make its presence known, Valerie knocked on his bedroom door. Benjamin, without hesitation, powered off his laptop and swung the door open."What's the matter, Val?" Benjamin inquired upon noticing Valerie's troubled expression.Valerie swiftly relayed that her father had received a report about an unexpected incident at the Morgan family villa. Benjamin nodded and promptly grabbed the cardboard bag that had been prepared on the table."Let's go," Benjamin said with a serious to
"Master Morgan, I am the most deserving person to receive treatment from Magical Doctor Frost. I am a politician who has done a lot for Regal Hill. But, look at me now. My body condition is very weak due to heart disease. Please help me now, I will help you in the future as well!""Master Morgan, I am the one who deserves this opportunity the most! I have helped you in the past, don't you remember that?""No, I'm the one who deserves it more here, Mr. Morgan!"Realizing that only twenty people would get the miraculous treatment from Benjamin Frost, everyone started clamoring. They vied, feeling that they were the only ones who deserved the treatment. They also mentioned who they were and exaggerated their backgrounds, hoping that Albert would choose one of them."Master Morgan, we used to work together. I helped you when your company went through a crisis ten years ago. Do your old friend a favor, Master Morgan!""Master Morgan, help my father who is sick. He can't walk because of a s
Benjamin smiled with satisfaction, content with the capabilities of the twenty individuals before him. Subsequently, he initiated the formation of a group named "Shallow River."The nucleus of our group consisted of the two individuals we pinpointed, while the guiding figures steering the group were indeed the initial three people Albert had mentioned earlier on in our conversation."Shallow River essentially operates as a collective, where all members contribute to the overarching objective. However, the primary goal of the collective is not determined through joint decision-making; only I have the authority to set it," Benjamin explained emphatically.Nods circulated among the group. There was no dissent regarding the party's vision and mission; their commitment to Benjamin had been previously affirmed. In that moment, an unspoken vow echoed within each of them – a pledge not to oppose Benjamin.A smile played on Benjamin's lips as he snapped his fingers, his tone firm as he added,
The woman resisted, yanking her hand forcefully until it slipped free from the man's grip. In retaliation, she delivered a resounding and furious slap across his face."Don't push me any further!" she warned, pointing her index finger directly at the tip of his nose. "I've made myself clear; we're done! You and I have nothing more than a friendship. Don't compel me to ruin whatever remains of our amicable connection!""I don't care!" The man snapped so loudly that his saliva flew in all directions. "You dumped me unilaterally, I never agreed with your decision! Now, however, you must get back to my apartment."The girl regarded her ex-boyfriend with disdain, then sneered, "Return to your apartment? Huh, don't even dream! Honestly, I'm certain none of the girls in the world would want to live with you. Your rude and forceful behavior utterly lacks any respect for women. I'm done with you!"As she spoke, the man's nostrils emitted a smoky breath. He glared at the woman fiercely and prom
