As the attendees regathered in the banquet hall, Madame Emma grasped Joanna’s hand firmly upon the stage. With a warm gesture, she apologized, "I deeply apologize for my earlier actions. It was my mistake. In reality, it is thanks to Joanna that we find ourselves in this fortunate position. She is truly an exceptional descendant of the Bloom family. The successful cooperation between Bloom Constructions and Danforth is a testament to Joanna’s tremendous efforts."General Manager Marshall, standing beside Madame Emma, observed her with a hint of disdain. Waving her hand to halt any further speech, General Manager Marshall intervened, stating, "Allow me to make a clarification. Mrs. Danforth contributions go beyond mere efforts. This collaboration is a result of her exceptional abilities and her individual power. It has no association with anyone else."While General Manager Marshall’s remark was undeniably impolite, the attendees had grown accustomed to her demeanor. As a figure of gre

"Yeah, I'm in front of the Golden Tower," he confirmed, noticing a security guard approaching him with an aggressive demeanor."Travis is here?! Oh my goodness, Travis is here?!"

He looked directly at her, his expression serious and commanding.The woman, Diana, mustered up the courage to speak, though her voice trembled slightly. “Excuse me, Sir,” she pleaded, her eyes still avoiding Travis’s gaze.Edwin, seething with anger, lashed out, “You don’t have to be like that, Diana.

Come back here!” Edwin’s eyes were fixed on Diana, his anger palpable.Diana swallowed nervously and reluctantly returned to Edwin's side.Travis chuckled in disbelief, finding amusement in the situation.

I'm extremely busy," she whispered hurriedly.Edwin shook his head, his anger still simmering within him. "You can't be busy with what I'm about to tell you, Mother. It's extremely important.""Alright, get straight to the point," Bianca replied, her tone becoming more attentive.Edwin let out a sigh before sharing, "It's about Travis, Mom. I had an unexpected visit from him.""Huh? An unexpected visit?" Bianca's voice revealed her confusion."Yes, Mom. He appeared out of nowhere. He visited Golden Tower," Edwin informed, his words laced with concern.Madame Bianca let out a gasp of surprise and frustration. "Damn it, how could he be here already?

As they sat together at the dining table, Joanna raised a topic that had been on her mind. "Travis, you mentioned earlier about arranging something special for our anniversary, right?"Travis, engrossed in feeding Maya, nodded in acknowledgment. "Yes, I did mention it. I wanted to make our anniversary memorable."Joanna's expression turned disapproving, and she shook her head. "I've reconsidered. I don't want you to go through the trouble anymore."Confusion filled Travis's face as he looked at Joanna. "What? Why? I thought we both agreed on making it special."Joanna's tone remained firm as she explained, "I'm extremely busy with my own commitments to be bothered about such. Celebrating our anniversary seems trivial compared to my responsibilities. Besides, I already have other obligations during that time and I'd rather engage in it than do anything else."Travis's disbelief was evident in his stare, but he held his tongue, knowing he couldn't argue with Joanna's request."And also,

Travis arrived at the airport and was taken aback to find William and Alison engaged in conversation with Sophia Marrion. He frowned as he wondered what they were doing there.Upon catching sight of Travis, Alison spotted him and let out an incredulous chuckle. “Oh, look who’s here. What is he doing here?”William turned as well, his tone scornful upon seeing Travis. “Don’t tell me that brainless cousin of mine sent you here, Travis. How can a lowlife like you welcome a woman like Sophia Marion? Unbelievable.”Sophia let out an awkward chuckle. “Uh, if you don't mind, William, I’d appreciate it if you didn’t insult Joanna. I don't really see why she's brainless.” Sophia walked toward Travis, offering a smile. “Hi. I’m Sophia Marrion, as you already know.”Travis nodded and responded, “Yeah, my wife asked me to come here and welcome you.”“Which is mostly because he's nothing more than Joanna’s messenger! I mean, seriously, what is he even doing now? Nothing!” Alison laughed in derisio

They arrived at Green Empire, and Sophia’s gaze swept around the opulent surroundings with a sense of awe. The place exuded extravagance, its appearance alone indicating that it catered exclusively to the elite.Casting a sidelong glance at Travis, she couldn’t help but wonder why he had asserted he could afford a private box in such a high-end five-star establishment. Was he attempting to win her favor? Unbelievable.Moving together, they approached the receptionist’s desk, and William began, “We have a reservation —”The receptionist’s eyes widened upon seeing Travis, and she quickly interjected, “Oh, yes, I’m aware.” Handing a ticket to William, she explained, “Just hand this to a waiter, and they’ll guide you to the designated room.”William accepted the ticket, a smile spreading across his face and was surprised to see it was the Empire Box. He glanced back at the receptionist, a perplexed expression on his face. Could there have been a mistake? No, they couldn't have.Amused, he

Travis’s sneer deepened as he cocked his head, scrutinizing the expression etched across Larry Roberts’ face. “Ah, I see the wheels turning in your head. Planning your revenge, are you? Plotting how you’ll come back and wreak havoc on my family once you're released from jail for causing public disturbances.”Larry's shock was evident as he looked up at Travis, his eyes widened in horror, yet he vehemently denied any such thoughts. “What?! No, no, I wouldn’t dream of such a thing…”With a disdainful scoff, Travis fixed him with a piercing glare. “Whether you admit it or not is inconsequential.

Colonel Richard Wayne stood before Travis, his posture rigid and his salute precise, a testament to his military training and discipline. With an air of seriousness, he addressed Travis, “Sir, Colonel Richard Wayne of the esteemed Storm Reapers Special Forces, reporting for duty. We stand prepared with a thousand elite fighters at your command. Your orders, Sir!”Travis regarded the colonel with a mixture of bewilderment and uncertainty.

Unfazed by Jinx’s menacing tone, Travis interjected with a stern gaze, “Did you just threaten us?”Jinx, fixing his scrutinizing gaze on Travis, retorted with a dismissive frown, “I wasn’t talking to you, so keep your filthy mouth shut.”A low chuckle escaped Travis, a manifestation of his composed demeanor, as he nonchalantly looked away, his anger simmering by the second he stood there.Joanna cast a troubled glance at Travis, her discomfort palpable as the tension in the air thickened.
