Joseph exited the room gracefully, guided by one of his dedicated aides. A hushed ambiance enveloped the space as Benjamin and Evelyn found themselves alone, their presence lingering in the stillness that remained.The tears had ceased, yet traces of emotion etched across Evelyn's countenance. The prospect of a significant turn in her life had never crossed her mind before. Her existence, up until now, had unfolded in the steady cadence of the ordinary, devoid of any grand expectations. Yet, on this day, the whims of Fortune seemed to favor her, unveiling an extraordinary miracle that she hadn't dared to anticipate.Indeed, Evelyn christened the day's events as nothing short of a miracle. In the blink of an eye, her life underwent a profound transformation. What other term could aptly capture such a swift and unforeseen metamorphosis if not the enchanting essence of a miracle?All this time, she lived her life as an ordinary employee gracefully. Moreover, she realized that her educati
Benjamin put the herbs into the trunk of his old car with the help of Evelyn. Evelyn was astonished by Benjamin. The man had an abundant amount of money but preferred to look simple. Not only the appearance, even the man also drove an old sedan car."Have you managed to secure everything you need, Mr. Frost?" inquired Evelyn as Benjamin sealed the trunk of his car."Indeed. However, I anticipate frequent visits from now on," Benjamin shared before sliding into his car. Just before departing, he left Evelyn with a parting message. "You now hold the reins as the manager at Treasure Village. Make sure to excel; don't disappoint me."Evelyn nodded, a sense of determination coloring her expression. "Yes, sir. I assure you, I won't let you down," she responded with resolve.Benjamin nodded in acknowledgment. His future visits to Treasure Village would not only involve herb purchases but also the oversight of his staff. He was adamant about ensuring that no employee mirrored the discourtesy
Benjamin stepped into the living room with a smile on his face. He intended to give two Dragon Shallow River Pills to Valerie as soon as he arrived home, as a precautionary measure to protect the girl from any bad possibilities. However, her steps came to a sudden halt when she heard something that did not match Valerie's usual light-shoe steps."That's not the sound of Valerie's shoesteps," he muttered skeptically. "They sound heavy, and the treads are definitely wider. Valerie rarely wears shoes like this; if not heels, then sneakers."With growing suspicion, Benjamin directed his steps towards the door, his eyes carefully checking his surroundings. Although there was no sign of a stranger's presence, a black 4x4 car was parked gracefully in front of Valerie's house."Maybe I'm being too paranoid," Benjamin thought, trying to ease the tension that arose. However, his instincts as a man of business and his success in the pill field kept him on his toes.Deciding to check further, Benj
Throughout the journey, Benjamin couldn't shake off the persistent thoughts about the identity of the perpetrator behind the bomb attack.If the threat originated from an adversary of his family's past, the looming question was how they had acquired knowledge of Benjamin's identity and current location."I can't afford to sit back and wait for them to strike one by one," Benjamin muttered. "I need to take the initiative and confront them head-on."If Benjamin did not want the people he cared about to get hurt, he would have to think of a strategy carefully. However, this would be a little difficult considering Valerie refused to be left behind by Benjamin. In fact, if they are apart, Benjamin believes he can easily handle this problem without having to worry about endangering Valerie.Approaching Frost's Mansion, the gate opened quickly when the guard recognized Benjamin's car.Parking his old sedan, Benjamin got out of the car immediately. He could see Joshua was already standing fo
Joshua nodded gravely. "Indeed. I've just caught wind of the news regarding the car bomb explosion near your residence, Master. I'll ensure to notify the mansion once you inform me of your impending visit."Lebron offered a similar response. "I've received the same intel from one of my sources, Master Frost."Benjamin nodded once more, proceeding to share the intricate details of the explosion that had eluded him in the media coverage."As you may surmise, the car couldn't have been randomly stationed near Valerie's property," Benjamin continued. "Whoever orchestrated this, sending both the car and the bomb, must have been aware of my residence there."At that moment, Joshua let out a sigh tinged with concern. "Master, if the situation has escalated to such a degree, you have no reason to remain there. Return to the mansion and lead a more secure and respectable life."Benjamin's head shook with unwavering determination. "No, I can't just walk away. There's still a responsibility that
Upon completing her exchange with Lebron and swiftly securing his response, she expeditiously reached out to Jenny and Maria through messaging, urgently requesting their presence in her room. Given the advantageous spatial arrangement of their rooms, the execution of this request proved remarkably straightforward and devoid of any complications.As Jenny and Maria nearly simultaneously entered her room, Claire instructed, "Maria, Close and secure the door. Jenny, did you happen to bring the electric field detector with you?"Both of them nodded in unison. Maria proceeded to shut and lock the door, while Jenny retrieved a device resembling a cosmetic case from her bag.Claire placed the device in the center of the room before pressing a button. A "beep" sound appeared, indicating that the device was on.Beeping twice, the device started scanning by sending out special electromagnetic waves to detect the surrounding electric field.After thirty seconds, Claire opened the phone and saw t
The teasing was only met with a stiff smile by Claire.Darvis inquired casually once more, "I was just wondering. How long have you been present, and what might you have overheard?"The question, although asked very lightly, managed to make Claire's heart skip a beat. She almost regretted her decision to show up right after Darvis and Matthew finished talking. She should have waited a little longer so that she wouldn't arouse Darvis' suspicions.However, there was no way to turn back time.In response, Claire offered a reassuring smile, attempting to conceal any nervousness. With composure, she replied, "I've just arrived, Young Master. Although I witnessed you conversing with Sir Matthew, I didn't catch a word of your discussion. I apologize if my presence caused any disturbance."Darvis looked at the woman with some skepticism. Claire appeared right after he ended the conversation with Matthew. That was already suspicious enough. Too perfect to be called a coincidence.However, Da
Apologies for that oversight. Let me enhance the word count for you:The entire population of the block gathered in the nearby park, a communal space just a stone's throw from their residences. They stood, curious and contemplative, as Joshua addressed them, weaving through the threads of the compelling proposition laid out by the middle-aged man."Your homes, each one of them, I am prepared to acquire at a generous sixty percent of the initial purchase price!"The residents, however, found Joshua's offer rather lackluster. The price he suggested seemed meager to them, a mere fifty percent increase from the original purchase. Typically, the value of a home appreciates over time, not the other way around. This raised doubts among the residents about parting with their cherished abodes."If we invested ten million dollars in a property, you're proposing to acquire it for a mere six million dollars. Is that not accurate, Old Man?" questioned a discerning resident.Joshua nodded sagely. "
