"Get lost! You don't know anything about James Donovan, making you have no right to sprout nonsense about him!"A chuckle escaped from Marcus’ throat, rubbing his palms together calmly. ‘’ If truly, I don’t know what I am saying, do you President Richard think I have the nerve to sprout nonsense right in front of the chairman?’’ He questioned, narrowing his eyes. ‘’ I can justify my claims that James Donovan is nobody.’’ President Richard's brows were raised suddenly, out of surprise, trying to comprehend what Marcus was saying. ‘’ Is that so?’’‘’ If you indeed know what you are saying, where is your evidence?’’ Chairman Cole inquired in a low voice, out of the blue, his expression becoming inexplicable. It was unknown what had occupied his mind about Marcus’ claim, but he waited patiently, wanting to see what Marcus would prove. Then, he could make his decision. Hearing this, President Richard spared Chairman Cole a glance, his brows pulling into a slight frown, twisting his li
Within seconds, bodyguards stormed into the elegant office, forming a circle around Marcus, appearing hefty and cold. Looking at the bodyguards surrounding him before he could even react more, a chill ran down his spine, swallowing hard. " No ......this.........." " Don't you dare say anything more!" President Richard snapped at Marcus, sneering sharply. " If you say any more word, you will only implicate yourself and your reward will intensify, which I am sure you can't escape from." Marcus' face became even uglier, his eyelids drooping with the weight of President Richard's words. He knew powerful figures wouldn't play with their words and this only meant he was truly doomed! But how did it all come to this?! He had planned to slap all those who looked down on him in the face, already pictured himself getting his job and status back! However, this happened..... turning into a wave of shock to him! " This is unacceptable! I know what I am saying! James Donovan is a useless
Meanwhile, Emily and James had arrived at the secret base in the car, however, none of them decided to step out of the car as it parked right in front of the villa. Instead, the couple sat quietly in the car, saying no words to each other since they left the hospital. The ride back home was filled with silence, seemingly like both were surrounded by their thoughts. ‘’ I won’t let this go, Emily.’’ Some seconds later, James broke the silence, unable to act distant from Emily. The latter had such an effect on him that he couldn’t think of a moment without her. Well, he had no idea when he became this attached to her.James cleared his throat, adjusting himself, and turned to look at Emily, his face radiating with full concern. ‘’ I should have protected you more. Juliet has no reason to say such things to you as her daughter. Due to this, I can’t respect her anymore,’’ he uttered in a collected voice, displaying how composed he was now. Although, there happened to be a kind of
“Winter Donovan! Bringing up the old issues is irrelevant! Emily is not to be blamed since I decided to send Jessica out of the base! If you need to put the fault on anyone, you can come for me!”James stepped forward immediately, positioning himself protectively in front of Emily, a resolve firm in his eyes.He wasn’t about to let Winter’s words bruise Emily anymore.How could his own sister not understand? He’d fought so hard to build this life, and he wasn’t going to watch it unravel from within.“Emily is my wife. You should show her the same respect you show me,” he added, his voice steadier than he felt inside.Winter, however, was unyielding. She scoffed, crossing her arms with defiance and looked at James without a hint of politeness. “What if I don’t?” she challenged, her tone dripping with cold disdain.James felt a surge of frustration and sadness as Winter’s words cut through him. He’d done everything to shield Emily, to protect her from any harm—even from his family if n
Emily decided to speak up, wanting to clarify Winter’s words, however, this only made the latter's expression darkened!" You don't know what you are saying, Emily! You are only getting this chance out of James!" Winter retorted, twitching her nose with disdain. " I hope you are happy, turning two siblings against each other!" " Winter ......." Emily extended her hand forward, lowering her voice that dripped with guilt. " Please......."'" As I said, I don't have anything else to say to you!" Winter looked down at Emily, shifting her attention to James. " Brother, I hope you realize where you are wrong and start to make amendments before it is too late to correct your mistakes. Don't make silly decisions because of your wife, even if she didn't support you right from the start!" Saying this, she didn't bother to wait for any more reply and strode out of the living room coldly! The lady had already expressed her mind, without caring about the consequences, and was ready to
" Boss, there is an update for you..."" About?" Enzo Black leaned forward, placing down the cigar on his hand. He pushed it forward, demanding, " Sam, you know I want to hear something worthy." " Yes, boss." The man who just stepped in, nodding as he responded sincerely, " I assured you boss, it will be worthy of your time." He was none other than part of Enzo Black subordinate, called Sam. Enzo Black gestured for him to speak up, his patience wearing thin. "It's about Wei Zhao, boss. I found out something about him, which I am certain it will please you to be aware of it."Sam proceeded to inform, taking out reports from his behind and showing it to the man whose composure failed to falter even after hearing the update was about Wei Zhao. He explained further, revealing his discovery, " The strange man who saved Miss Emily the day you went to the Thompson Group, was Theo, one of the infamous heir of a wealthy family. In my findings, I realized Theo is connected to Wei Zhao an
At the same time, two familiar figures stepped out, casting a calm glance around the surroundings. " Don't give him a chance! He must be dealt with! Mr. James is on his way to give him a piece of what he deserves!" Chairman Cole told the two guards who dragged Marcus like a captured goat directly to the abandoned building. Then, he trailed after them, including President Richard, who didn't want to miss the show. Some minutes after they went into the abandoned building, another familiar car drove forward, pulling up close to the abandoned building. Long slender legs stepped out of the passenger seat, and immediately the car halted, a familiar face displaying. The sun was beginning to dip below the horizon, allowing for the evening to approach gradually. At the same time, another figure alighted from the car confidently, lifting his head upward. " My lord, they are waiting for us." The figure was none other than Kael who rolled up his sleeve as if ready for a fight, glanc
" You are just a bloody useless bastard, with no source! I bet you have brainwashed these people here with your lies! Where is your conscience, James Donovan?! I don't give a damn if you eliminate me right now, I will stand for the truth no matter what!" He spat fiercely, frowning deeply as he struggled to calm his trembling fingers. James lazily looked down on him, as if he was unbothered about Marcus' words that rang of nothing but stupidity in his ears. " Okay then." He glanced at Kael, gesturing toward one of the sharp bloody tools, orderly arranged on the large table. " Bring forth the limb cutter." Hearing James' order, Kael didn't waste time and bustled forward to grasp the limb cutter. He walked back to where James was and handed it over to him. Marcus' eyes widened at the sight of the limb cutter, which he hadn't noticed since he was brought here. Yes, he saw various tools but this particular one was out of it. Swallowing down, a chill ran down his spine, his in
