Alison, Carson, and Paula were already in the house. Paula was in the kitchen. She was doing something there. Meanwhile, Alison and Carson were in the living room. They are sitting down. Alison looked uneasy. Soon, Nora would be there. This made her tremble. She was so scared. Carson saw that, and he held Alison's hand with his right hand. He also smiled at Alison. "We'll be fine," Carson said."But Grandma is very grumpy. She won't forgive what we've done. If she says she's going to kill us, then she will." Alison stopped. She gulped. Alison's face turned pale. "I'm scared."Seeing this, Carson was silent. He saw the same look as when Alison was scared before. The incident with Joel made Carson remember the mistakes he had made. Carson became a little hesitant, but she pushed that feeling away. He was not a weak Carson. She was confident that she could protect her family this time."I will protect you guys. I promise," Carson said. These were not just words. He would keep the promi
Alison and Paula were surprised to see Nora agree with everything Carson proposed. This felt like a daydream. It was reality, but from any angle, it felt like an illusion. Nora had never been like this—so much so that Paula and Alison couldn't even imagine it. Never."After you return from the bidding. I guarantee that you will get the transfer of shares. I won't break my promise." Nora assured Carson. Alison's father's share in the company was 25%, which was a huge amount. A quarter of the company belonged to Alison's father. With such a large share, he would get the right to make decisions during shareholder meetings. Paula smiled. She was relieved after getting 25% of their shares back. This would make their lives better. Paula was very happy. She was fed up with all this poverty. Being poor was a misfortune that Paula really didn't want to feel. "Then we have a deal." Carson held out his hand. Nora looked hesitant, but she shook hands with Carson. Both of them had made a dea
"Honey, is it really okay for me to come? My clothes don't seem expensive enough to come." Alison still had no confidence in herself. She was used to being insulted by Nora and her family. It made Alison feel pessimistic about herself. For too long, it could become a permanent trait and character. Carson patted Alison's head gently. "You're already beautiful. No one will insult you. Trust me." Carson calmed Alison down. They arrived at the place where the offer was. They got out of the car. At that moment, many other families arrived. Alison saw that they brought many kinds of gifts. These are not cheap little gifts but expensive gifts for the general. Alison turned to Carson. "Shouldn't we take the gifts given by the grandmother?" She felt that they should also bring gifts. Alison was afraid that not bringing a gift would result in their offer being rejected. They didn't get the offer, which made Nora very angry. Alison was starting to get scared because of this. Carson didn't se
Seeing Ethan made Carson remember high school. At that time, Ethan was also like this. He was surrounded by many women. He often changed women. Of course, many want to be close to Ethan because he is rich, even for women. It's just that his bad nature doesn't stop there. When he saw a beautiful woman, even though she was someone else's girlfriend, he didn't care and would force the woman to break up with her boyfriend. He will go to any lengths if the woman doesn't want to. He pays several people and takes the woman's boyfriend to a deserted place. The man was beaten to a pulp by him. Some were even hospitalized. Some were almost dead.There was even news that Ethan raped several women who already had boyfriends in front of their boyfriends directly. He enjoyed it all and felt no guilt at all. Ethan's nature was terrible. Even Satan thinks that Ethan is crazier than he is.Once, the family of a woman who was raped reported to the police. Some policemen came to the school to investiga
Ethan furrowed his brow. He was in a lot of pain. It was the first time he had ever felt pain. He had been pampered since childhood, and because of that, he had never been hurt. It was just that this time, his leg had just been broken. This made him grimace in pain. He couldn't even get up. When he wanted to get up, his leg stung. Ethan felt incredible pain. He was upset and angry and wanted to retaliate but couldn't fight back. He looked at his guards, who were still lying down, which made him feel hopeless. Before he could turn his head, he saw who had kicked his leg. Ethan immediately cursed that person first, "Bastard, I will kill you. I will destroy your family. Even down to your distant relatives, I will kill them. Anyone related to you will die."The woman didn't care about Ethan. She focused on Carson first because Carson was the leader. The person who kicked Ethan's knee was Carson's subordinate, who had previously guarded the entrance at Carson's wedding. The woman's name
Carson, Alison, and Kayla entered the building slowly. They saw many people heading towards the elevator, all of them also heading to the twelfth floor for the bidding event. Everyone seemed to be carrying gifts, except for Carson's family.The current situation was much more crowded than when Vivian arrived earlier. Vivian came very early with excitement, but unfortunately, she was kicked out for not meeting the qualifications. Now, she was cursing at home along with George, who failed to get the Villa. They were waiting for Alison to come home with good news about the offer.Kayla knew she had authority and prestige there, so she helped Carson and Alison to cut in line. As Kayla walked, everyone in front of them backed up, realizing that Kayla was a direct subordinate of the general. They didn't dare to resist. Alison, who saw the situation, was surprised to see them being prioritized even though they were just ordinary people.Alison asked, "Is this okay?"Kayla smiled and replied,
Inside the house, the atmosphere was tense as Nora, Vivian, and George awaited the results of the bidding meeting attended by Carson and Alison. The three of them sat together in the living room, their faces showing deep doubts. A look of anxiety and uncertainty graced Nora's face, especially when she remembered Alison, whom she considered an unreliable figure."If she hadn't married Carson, I'm sure she could have lived a more decent life," Nora said sarcastically, her eyes staring blankly at the window. Alison is a stupid woman—unpredictable, just like her father."The Qi words came out hatefully. Nora had a deep dislike for Alison, just like her hatred for Carson. Waiting for the results of two people she disliked at all made her even more upset. "If it weren't for her relationship with the general, she would never have gotten this position," Nora continued, her tone full of anger. "That's why this all feels so unfair. That useless man is so lucky to have a relationship with the g
The security team leader was amazed as he looked at Carson standing before him. Carson was not ordinary; he was a prominent general often mentioned in the military ranks. Now, the security team leader had heard the general's name and witnessed it firsthand.He tried to compose himself even though his lips could not smile widely. The sense of happiness and pride flowing through him was so strong that it was as if the whole world had stopped to focus on this precious moment. Standing in front of someone so important and respected, someone who had inspired many people with his leadership and courage, made her feel highly honoured.However, the realisation of his mistakes made him feel anxious. Recalling his previous inappropriate actions, he felt a heavy weight on his chest. Regretfully, he bowed his head and voiced with emotion, "I'm sorry, sir. I am truly sorry for my mistake. I know how foolish my actions were and how improper I acted like that. I apologise once again."The security t
