“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
" Where is the god of war?" The man demanded immediately, stuffing his hands casually into his pocket. " I request to see him immediately." Hearing this, the soldiers raised their heads simultaneously and answered in a deep voice, " Sure, General." Then, one of the soldiers led him to the living room of the base house. At the same time, James had received a call from the intercom, about an import figure. He was dining with Emily for breakfast in the dining room, answering the call briefly, " As expected." The instant, the door was pushed open and the face of the familiar man could be seen at the entrance. The soldier who led the man stepped back, bowing, " Please." He gestured with his hands for the man to walk in, taking his leave afterward. " General LaGrine, what a pleasant visit," James teased, hooking his lips as he rose his seat. He approached the man who was Victor LaGrine, welcoming him enthusiastically. Victor LaGrine carried in heavy into the living ro
Anyways, he would like to set his eyes on Victor again, deciding to attend the party.Thus, Victor LaGrine, turned to him seriously, " You will need to attend the party. You might uncover more things. An old man like me should take a break from night parties." James agreed, his gaze moving to Emily who remained silent despite the conversation between him and Victor LaGrine. His eyes deepened, and there was a quick flash of frown on his face. " Emily?" He called her out, extending his hand to grasp hers. Emily was slow to react, not paying attention to James until the latter's hand tapped on her. Instantly, her body jerked, her eyes dilating as she shifted to James, blinking rapidly. For a second, she couldn't say anything, parting her lips and struggling for what to say. " Is there a problem?" Some seconds later, she spoke up, questioning James since he refused to stop gazing intently at her. " I should have ask you that," James threw back a question instead, unmoving. " What
Swiftly, she jumped from the Sofa, adjusting her outfit and dashed out of the room, not wanting to miss the chance of finding the unknown...Winter got outside the mansion, narrowing her eyes at the car that sped out of the mansion, which contained Jessica. Without wasting time, she put on a dark shade, walking fastly toward the gate. The moment she arrived outside the small gate, a passing cap was espied by her and instantly, she hailed. " Follow that car!" Winter pointed to Jessica's car that was almost out of sight as soon as she boarded the cap. It didn't take long before the cap started trailing after Jessica's car, making Winter's heart to race in anticipation. At the same time, in a familiar hospital, a man wearing a black tailored suit strode past the reception, heading towards a particular special ward. The guards standing outside the special ward, saw the man approaching and immediately straightened themselves. Politely, they bowed to him and one of them walked forw
