As Christopher and Yue Wang savored their breakfast together in the grand dining hall of the Conrad mansion, their conversation turned to the topic of their upcoming wedding. The thought of their union filled them with excitement and anticipation, but also a touch of apprehension, knowing that their plans would need to meet the approval of Chairman Conrad, who resided in the mansion with them."I can hardly believe that we're finally going to get married," Christopher exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with joy as he glanced at Yue Wang.

His keen eyes swept over the room,

The receptionist, sensing his anxiety, quickly ushered him through to the doctor's office, where he found himself face to face with the person who held the key to his family's secrets."Dr. Reynolds," Larry began, his voice wavering with emotion. "I need your help. It's about my nephew—my sister's son."Dr. Reynolds, a seasoned physician with a kind face and gentle demeanor, listened intently as Larry poured out his concerns. He nodded sympathetically, offering words of comfort and reassurance as he guided Larry through the complexities of genetic testing."I understand your desire for answers, Larry," Dr. Reynolds said, his tone compassionate yet pragmatic.

He couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to her passing than met the eye.The memory of her funeral haunted him, the image of her casket lowered into the ground forever etched in his mind. But even in death, she remained a mystery to him—her final resting place a closely guarded secret that his father had taken to the grave.With a heavy heart, Larry realized that he had no idea where his sister was buried, no way to pay his respects or find closure.

The Chairman sat in his study, a furrow of concern etched deep into his brow as he reviewed the latest report from his private spy. His suspicions about Cosmos had been confirmed—his trusted steward had left the mansion without notice, his movements shrouded in secrecy.With a sigh, the Chairman reached for the phone, dialing the number of his most trusted confidant—the spy he had tasked with monitoring Cosmos' every move. "Yes, sir?" came the familiar voice on the other end of the line."Tell me everything," the Chairman commanded, his tone firm and resolute. "Where did he go? And how do we ensure that he doesn't find out he's being watched?"The spy on the other end of the line relayed the details of Cosmos' movements, his voice low and hushed as he spoke. "He's headed to a remote location, sir," he explained. "But I've made arrangements to keep him under surveillance without arousing suspicion. He won't know what hit him."The Chairman nodded in satisfaction, grateful for the dilig
In the dimly lit hotel room, Sapphira paced back and forth with an air of frustration, her elegant features twisted in a scowl of anger. She had been waiting for hours for Larry Conrad to respond to her summons, but so far, there had been no word from him. The thought of being kept waiting like a common servant grated on her nerves, fueling the flames of her simmering rage."This is unacceptable," she muttered, her voice laced with venom as she glared at her phone, willing it to ring with a message from Larry. "I won't be treated like this. I have important business to discuss with him, and he will listen to me, one way or another."Just then, there was a knock at the door, and Cosmos entered the room with a confident stride, his expression unreadable as he took in Sapphira's agitated state. "What's got you so worked up, my dear?" he asked, his voice smooth as silk.Sapphira whirled around to face him, her eyes blazing with fury. "Where have you been, Cosmos?" she demanded, her voice
With a sense of urgency, Sapphira reached for her phone, her fingers flying across the screen as she dialed a series of numbers with practiced precision. Each call was a calculated move, a step closer to her ultimate goal of securing a meeting with Larry Conrad and turning the tide of their fortunes in her favor."Hello?" came the voice on the other end of the line, crisp and professional."Samantha, it's Sapphira," Sapphira said, her voice low and urgent. "I need you to do me a favor. I need to arrange a meeting with Larry Conrad as soon as possible. Can you make it happen?"There was a pause on the other end of the line, followed by the sound of typing as Samantha quickly checked her schedule. "I can certainly try," she replied, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "But you know how busy Mr. Conrad can be. It might not be easy to get him to agree to a meeting on such short notice."Sapphira's jaw clenched with frustration, but she refused to be deterred. "I don't care how busy he is,"
In the grandiose study of the Conrad mansion, the Chairman sat at his ornate desk, a furrow of concern etched deeply into his brow. Before him lay a stack of documents, each one detailing the movements and activities of his wayward steward, Cosmos. With a heavy sigh, he reached for the phone, his fingers trembling slightly as he dialed the number of his most trusted confidant—the private spy he had tasked with monitoring Cosmos' every move."Wilson, it's Chairman Conrad," he said, his voice grave as he waited for the call to connect. "I need an update on Cosmos. What have you discovered?"On the other end of the line, Wilson's voice crackled with static as he relayed the latest findings of his surveillance operation. "Sir, we've tracked Cosmos to a remote location on the outskirts of the city," he reported, his tone urgent. "It appears that he's meeting with an unknown individual, but we haven't been able to get close enough to identify them."The Chairman's jaw clenched with frustrat
