At W&L Tower in Washington, Brooks was anxiously watching the stock market as the share prices of his family's companies continued to plummet. The worsening economic crisis had him on edge, but he was too afraid to contact Morgan Stanley, the financial backer of The Morgan Family. The global situation was dire, and Morgan Stanley held controlling stakes in nearly 100 top-tier companies worldwide. A poorly handled conversation with them could spell disaster.
By 9 p.m., Brooks was still working late at the office, reviewing the reports coming in from subsidiaries around the world. The financial situation was grim. The performance of MF&T Services, MF&T Networks, and MF&T Data was practically at zero. Meanwhile, the maintenance costs and operational expenses for their online infrastructure were astronomical.
Without transactions, there were no processing fees, which meant no profits. Worse, the family’s water resources division, a joint venture

“Uh…” Brooks froze at the sound of the man's voice on the other end of the line.“Speak up! You’ve called me multiple times, and now you’re just gonna stay quiet?!”“S-sorry, sorry! Are you Mr. Morgan from Willy Investments?”“Yes, that’s me! Who the hell are you?”“I’m Brooks from Washington’s The Morgan Family. You’ve acquired three of our top global companies, so I wanted to get in touch and see when it might be convenient for me to come to New York and meet with you. You know, to chat. Yeah, to chat.”“Chat about what?! You’re interrupting something important right now! I’m in Washington as we speak! Why didn’t you call during the day? Do you have any idea what I was just doing? I’ll see you at your office tomorrow! Goodnight!” Willy hung up, furious.That idiot really knew how to pick t

"God, Dad! Do you even realize what you just said?!" Aubrey shouted.Her words snapped Brooks back to his senses."I… Daughter! What just happened? What did I say?""You old fool, you just confessed to everything you’ve done!" Willy smirked."I didn’t do anything! I don’t know what you’re talking about, you brat!""Really? You’re shameless beyond belief. You don’t remember? Let me remind you." Willy took out his phone and played the recording, just as he had done before."Why?! Why can’t I, Brooks, have a son? I only have two useless daughters! Even if I had someone kidnap you and throw you away, what difference does it make? It’s been 20 years. The statute of limitations has passed—you can’t do anything!" The audio echoed through the first floor of W&L Tower, Brooks' voice clearly damning himself."You bastard! You tricked me!""Tricked you? H

“Mr. Morgan, please take a seat! I’m Ko, in charge of MF&T Data. This is your seat!” Ko gestured for Willy to take the head seat in the conference room."Thank you. Please, everyone, sit. I’m here today for two reasons. First, I want to get a detailed understanding of the company’s current situation. Second, I plan to consolidate the business operations of the company’s various divisions. I know many of you have been with The Morgan Family for years, so you’ve likely heard Brooks’ outburst just now. Let me be clear—you don’t need to speculate about my identity. All you need to know is that I’m the head of Willy Investments, and I now hold the largest stake in The Morgan Family’s biggest companies.”"Understood, boss!""Good. Let’s talk. What’s the current state of the company?"Just as Willy finished speaking, Brooks, supported by Aubrey, entered th

“You’re all lying! You… ugh!” Brooks collapsed, fainting from the pressure. Aubrey, already in shock from learning her father had coerced and harassed others, stood frozen. While Brooks hadn’t treated her and Brooklyn well, he was still her father, and the situation unfolding before her left her utterly lost.“Oh, he’s passed out? Not a bad act. Paisley, get some water and splash it on his head. Then call the police!” Willy wasn’t sympathetic at all. He believed that Brooks should pay for the evil he had committed.“Yes, sir!” Paisley was quick to act. Instead of using the bottled water in the meeting room, she grabbed a ceramic cup and filled it with boiling water from the dispenser. She then doused Brooks with it without hesitation. Paisley harbored no mercy for someone like Brooks, especially given her past—almost being forced into marriage herself if not for her aunt’s fier

“I studied environmental engineering, so my major doesn’t really align with the company’s needs.”“Uh… right, it doesn’t quite match. Valentina, how about doing admin work, like handling documents or being an assistant? The pay will be really good! You’d mainly answer calls, manage files, and book tickets. And don’t worry, no one will give you a hard time,” Willy thought for a moment and asked.“I can give it a try. I’ve been in sales for a while now, after all.”“Great!” Willy picked up the phone and called for Paisley to come in.“Boss, you called?”“Paisley, this is Valentina. She’ll work as your assistant for now. Show her the ropes! I have bigger plans for her down the road, so train her well!”“Willy, are you serious?”“Don’t worry, Boss!

After a three-hour drive, Grayson finally arrived at Wellington Harbor. From a distance, the colossal port was dotted with boats and yachts, but what stood out the most was a massive, luxurious superyacht at the far end. Towering like a skyscraper, the yacht gleamed in white, adorned with various entertainment facilities. There was an outdoor pool, a gigantic waterslide, three elevated observation decks, and even a Ferris wheel in the middle, complete with a small bungee jumping platform on the side. The yacht exuded an aura of opulence, and its grandeur hinted at unimaginable luxuries within.On its side, the yacht's name shimmered in large letters: *Heart of the Ocean*.“Willy, we’re here. Where exactly is the reception point for that yacht or toy you mentioned? This port has hundreds of docks,” Grayson asked, scanning the area.“It’s right there, *Heart of the Ocean*,” Willy casually pointed.Violet and Grayson both

In an office in Japan, a top official was deep in conversation."Yamada-kun! I've found out that both the NVMD chip and the drug come from the same company in New York. The owner is none other than that man—Morgan, Willy Morgan—the same guy who made a fortune shorting our stock index during the earthquake two months ago."The man named Yamada glanced at the photo on his desk. "So young.""Yes, Yamada-kun," the assistant replied."If we could get our hands on his technology, both the chip and the medical research, it would be a great asset to the Empire. It could enable us to achieve the unprecedented feat of a nationwide migration. Do you understand the importance of this, Soma?""I understand, Yamada-kun. However, NVMD is already collaborating with him. We...""Then send the *Poison Frog Squad*! Make sure you send enough agents to ensure success—failure is not an option. I believe Willy's most valuable research will either

After a night of passion, Willy and Violet finally fell asleep in the early morning. By the time they woke up, it was already late morning. Willy checked the updates from his various companies on his phone—everything in Washington seemed to be running smoothly. The economic crisis caused by the contagious skin disease was still affecting the market, but Willy had plenty of time and capital to weather the storm."Time to get up, sleepyhead!" Willy said, gently nudging Violet."Hmm... What time is it?" Violet asked, still half-asleep as she turned to check her phone."It's already noon!""Ah! It’s already twelve?!""Hehe, well, we did go to bed pretty late. Go take a shower. I’ve ordered some food. After we eat, let’s head back to New York. How does that sound?""Sounds great! I should get back too. I’ve been away for a few days, and I’m worried I might get rusty in my own work.""Rusty?
