Willy brought a group of special ops and investigators to his house, where Eleanor had already prepared everything. After making sure all was in order, Willy quickly found a shirt to wear. He headed to the front hall to undergo a brief investigation before asking to go to bed—he was utterly exhausted!
The special ops team, grateful for his help, expressed their thanks. After all, the young man before them had just saved one of their top operatives, Rose. Of course, he deserved some rest. Meanwhile, poor Eleanor was running around all night, taking care of everything.
The next morning at 9 a.m., Caleb and Penelope returned home, only to be shocked by the sight of investigators and officers swarming their yard. Alarmed, Caleb grabbed an officer and asked, “Where’s my son? What happened to my son?!
Rose recovered quickly, and soon she was already strolling around the hospital’s garden. Black Wolf stood beside the leader, watching from a distance as Jushan accompanied his sister during her rehabilitation. He spoke softly, “Leader, I’ve thoroughly investigated Willy’s background over the past two days.”“Oh? Let’s hear it.”“Willy was born 23 years ago during winter in Washington, into the Morgan family, specifically to the third son of the family. However, right after his birth, the eldest son of the Morgan family arranged for someone to kidnap him. After a lot of back-and-forth, he was abandoned in Los Angeles when he was a little over a year old and taken in by ZBC Orphanage. He lived in the orphanage during elementary, middle, and high school, only leaving when he went to university. Over the past two years, he entered society, and I also found out that he once won the biggest national lottery prize. Later,
The ZBC Orphanage in Los Angeles was still the same old three-story building, weathered and worn. Inside, it was structured like a large classroom. The orphanage now housed around sixty to seventy children, ranging in age from a few months to late teens. Willy and his group pulled up at the orphanage’s gate in their cars, and as he stepped out, a rush of memories flooded back. The rusty iron gate, the two lush trees that stood proudly in the yard, and the worn-out swing set, merry-go-round, and stone tables—all places where he’d spent countless hours as a child.On the second floor, there was a room with a bed that Willy had slept in throughout his childhood. This place held so many traces of him, like an imprint of his past.“Why are there so many cars? And such fancy ones, too!” A woman in her fifties or sixties stepped out of the orphanage, squinting at the vehicles in confusion.“Piper!” Willy shouted, his voice trembling with emotion. Those tw
When Willy returned to the room, he found Piper chatting with Penelope, recalling Willy's childhood misadventures and bringing a blush to his face.“Oh, Piper, those stories are so embarrassing. Let’s not bring those up!”“Willy, if Piper hadn’t told me, I would have never known just how mischievous you were!” Penelope laughed.“Piper, my parents brought some things for the kids—everything here is for them. Also, I’ve already set up the arrangements for the renovations. Soon, people will come to begin remodeling the orphanage here in Los Angeles. Don’t worry; you and the children will be relocated to a safe and comfortable place during the work. You won’t have to lift a finger. My legal team will handle everything!”“Understood, young master!” the two legal advisors confirmed in unison.“Legal advisors? Willy, how much are you spending on this? It’s too
“Haha, I never would’ve guessed that the big boss of the ‘Willy Group’ was such an amazing singer! You even have rich fans offering to sponsor you!” Violet teased.“Violet! Where did you see that?”“My brother sent me a video of you holding a mic and singing last night. Didn’t you tell me you were just going out for a little stroll?”Willy couldn’t tell if Violet was amused or a bit annoyed, seeing that he’d gone out without telling her.“Well, I just felt in an unusually good mood, like something lucky might happen! So, I took a walk, bought a scratch-off ticket and won $10,000, then found a wallet with $5,000 in cash. Want it all?”“Why are you giving it to me? It’s your luck, not mine. Go claim your prize and spend it yourself!” she replied with a laugh.“If you don’t want it, fine! By the way, I haven’t heard you mentio
After finishing his performance, Willy received a round of enthusiastic applause, even being handed a bouquet of flowers, which he brought to Violet.“Beautiful lady, this bouquet is for you,” he said with a grin, extending the flowers to her.Violet was just about to shyly reach for them when a voice cut in.“Hey! Kid, let me tell you something! Violet already has a boyfriend, okay? Just because you’re a bar singer doesn’t mean you can flirt with my best friend!”“Uh...what?” Willy froze, not quite sure how to respond.“Oh, Peyton!” Violet exclaimed. “He *is* my boyfriend! I asked him to go on stage and sing for me, so please sit down! And keep your voice down; everyone is staring at us.”“What?” Now Peyton looked embarrassed.“Excuse me, miss, shall we serve the food now?” The server’s timely arrival eased the awkward moment.
“The boss is on a tight schedule,” the HR director announced. “So shortly, I’ll be taking all of you into the conference room for a group interview. Besides the boss, our HR reps, and a few professionals from the research division will be asking you a few targeted questions. Any questions?”Everyone responded with a quick “No.”“Alright then, please follow me.”Taking a deep breath, Peyton joined the group and filed into the spacious conference room.Willy was already seated at the center of the table. He noticed Peyton at the back of the group, head down, looking tense.“Alright, take any seat you like and relax,” Willy said warmly.Hearing his voice, Peyton felt a strange sense of familiarity. She slid into a chair in the second row, trying to sit as far from the front as possible.“We’ll start with introductions,” Willy continued, “and everyone, keep it to two minutes.”“Hello, everyone, I’m Markino,” the first c
“Violet! Your man is the Willy Group’s big boss, isn’t he?”“Haha, so you finally figured it out!”“Ugh, you sneaky woman! You and your boyfriend totally set me up!”“Let’s talk in person! Come up to the 45th floor. We’ll be waiting for you!”“Fine! Just you wait—I’m coming for you!” Peyton muttered furiously, hitting the elevator button repeatedly, flustered and excited all at once.“Miss, if you keep pressing it, the elevator’s going to break,” came a calm voice behind her.“Oh! I’m sorry!” Peyton responded, flustered. She glanced up at the man beside her—a composed, well-dressed figure with an elegant voice and bearing.Logan glanced curiously at the girl next to him, assuming she was here for an interview without a company badge. She seemed angry, maybe frustrated. Did the intervie
“Violet, call your mom and let her know to be cautious around everyone at the flower arranging event today. Tell her I’ll have someone there to give them injections, and to keep things quiet.”“Alright, I’ll call her right away! Peyton, do you want to come with me and maybe get a shot too?”“I’ll go with you. I want to check on your father and see if there’s anything I can help with!”The three left the hot pot restaurant in a rush, and their driver sped them toward the Brown family estate. On the way, Willy arranged for his pharmaceutical company to deliver medicine to the Browns and instructed Tian to prepare enough doses for all employees at the company headquarters. Willy also asked Tian to coordinate an evening injection for the entire building and ensure full disinfection. With everything set, they arrived at the Brown estate.Violet, Tian, and their mother, Paisley, were devastated as they
