In the Peters's, he living room was packed with people. The seats were arranged as usual. On the sofa was the white-haired Monica.

The only difference about this meeting was that next to her, besides Alice and Ryan, there were also three young policemen in uniform and a middle-aged man in gold-rimmed glasses.

As soon as Sarah and her family walked in, Tristan rose and began introducing the outsiders to them.

"Let me introduce you to each other.

These are the police officers from the police station whose jurisdiction the Peters Realty is in. This is Director Blount."

Seeing that Sarah and her family were all silent, Tristan got even cockier.

Pointing at the middle-aged man in gold-rimmed glasses, he continued,

"This is Mr. Dower, a barrister adept at handling financial disputes. He has never lost in a single lawsuit."

Tristan squinted at Sarah and her family as if demanding if they were afraid or not.

Sarah hated him, but there was nothing she could do. Of course, she knew why he was d

    "Mr. Garcia, please consider giving your father a chance. He has endured many hardships over the years," pleaded the middle-aged man who had been trailing Ray Garcia through the bustling market of Austria. "Your father's injury has left him unable to have another child, and as the sole heir to his property, acknowledging your relationship with him is of utmost importance. If you don't, his position as head of the Garcia family will become increasingly uncertain." Ray, dressed in shabby clothes, came to an abrupt halt and regarded the man with disdain. "He abandoned me when I was young and forced me to part ways with my mother. I never even got to say goodbye to her. Now, after all these years, he wants me back?" Ray shook his head in disbelief. "I thought he was genuinely remorseful and wanted to make amends, but it's clear he only wants me to secure his position in the family," he sneered, snapping the supreme bank card in his hand with ease. The card, with a limit of eighty millio

As he stumbled out of the room, his mind was in a daze, trying to process the gravity of the situation.

Let me handle everything," he pleaded as he caught up with her in the corridor. But Sarah remained steadfast, her resolve unshakable as she turned off her phone and strode confidently into the elevator. Back in the living room of the Peters's, Joanna's rage was palpable as she lashed out at Ray, blaming him for not doing enough to help. Her words stung, and Sophia's badgering only made things worse. Ray fought to free himself from their grasp, but not before Joanna scratched his face, leaving him bleeding and shaken.

    Ray gasped for breath as he sprinted down the street, evading the clutches of the relentless security guards. With a sense of relief, he flung the bathrobe into a nearby dumpster before reaching for his phone to contact Sarah. To his dismay, her phone remained switched off, leaving him to ponder his next move. After careful consideration, he extracted a business card from his pocket and dialed the number printed on it. "I accept your terms," he announced firmly. "I will reconcile with my father." Fifteen minutes later, Ray found himself in a serene park, stowing away his new supreme bank card. With an air of nonchalance, he inquired, "So, what do the Garcias do, Eli? How wealthy are they?" The ever-obliging Eli Ledger responded with respect, detailing the extent of the Garcias' global businesses and investment funds. "Their wealth is immeasurable," Eli confessed. "During the Asian financial crisis in 2008, the Garcia Group played a crucial role in stabilizing our country's economy."

    In the luxurious Presidential Suite of the Sunrise Heritage Resort, James 's anger was palpable as he pointed to Ray's face on the monitor screen. "Who is this useless matrilocal son-in-law of the Peters?" he bellowed. The plump hotel manager repeatedly bowed and confirmed, "He is Ray Garcia, Sarah's husband. He's the one who stole your bathrobe. The surveillance footage leaves no room for doubt." James was incensed. The Peters were playing a dangerous game by crossing him, and he couldn't believe that Sarah would stoop so low as to involve her husband in humiliating him. He was determined to crush them all. Shooing away the manager, James immediately made a phone call and had the post of him running around naked and causing a commotion in the lobby deleted. In exchange, the hotel offered a week of free stay to the elderly tourists and promised to remove any evidence of the incident to protect their reputation. But James wasn't satisfied with just that. He called the patriarch o

    As Sophia pounded on the door, Noahgroggily woke up to the loud noise. "Who could be knocking at this ungodly hour?" she grumbled, rubbing her messy hair in frustration. When she opened the door, she was taken aback by the sight before her. Was this some kind of gangster movie? Behind Sophia stood a group of over 20 young men from the Peters family, some holding staffs, others wielding knives or expandable batons. Tristan Peters, Sarah's cousin, pushed his way past Noahand barked out orders. "Move aside! We're here for Sarah and Ray!" The commotion roused the sleeping couple, who stumbled out of the bedroom only to be surrounded by the menacing group of men. As the tension in the room escalated, Sarah turned to her sister, her chest heaving with anger. "How could you betray me like this, Sophia? You're my sister!" Sophia's lip curled as she snorted in response. "You didn't help Mom, and your useless man caused trouble with Mr. Cole from Oscorp Corporation . He even took Mr. Cole's b

    Ray was confused. He was dreaming of consummating their marriage before waking up.Maybe dreams were affected by subconsciousness. Bizarrely, in the dream, the face of the woman under him was vague. He wasn't sure whether it was Sarah.So, when he heard her voice, he felt guilty. Disturbed in a sound sleep, he was in a daze for a slip second."What? I am dead?" he asked in reply.As it grew brighter outside, Sarah saw she was in a ward and realized she hadbeen saved and was not dead.After waking up, she was mad and hated Ray for being ungrateful.But when she saw how silly he looked, she felt like laughing out loud.To stifle her laughter, she stared at him with wide eyes; her face turned red from exertion.Yet, still, she failed and burst out laughing.Ray scratched his head and regained his senses. "Sarah, you're awake! This is great!"Sarah snorted and turned around."Why did you save me? Why didn't you let me die? Do you want to see me kneeling before that weasel Ryan? Or do you

    Humans always like to explore the unknown. Without curiosity, modern science wouldn't have made so much progress; penicillin wouldn't have been discovered, and rockets wouldn't have been built or sent into space.Ray was no exception. He was curious where the faint strange smell came from.But he couldn't see. And his hands couldn't move. What could he do to find out?Almost subconsciously, he stuck out his tongue.He licked hard. What the hell?Ray finally knew why her underwear tasted salty.The girl sitting on his face also realized what was going on. She screamed and jumped up, blushing.The pretty girl from the dancing school, who was about five foot eight, clenched her legs and covered her skirt with her hands."He ... he bit me! No, he licked me!"The girl sitting on his crotch also got from Ray as quickly as she could.She was equally blushing from embarrassment. She even looked again at his belly, where she had stayed.The three girls had agreed to hit him together, but that

"Get out.1 asked you to come to visit your sister, not to kick the door!"As soon as he came to Sophia , he frowned at the stench of alcohol from the three girls. "Did you just bathe in alcohol? Get out of here. The stench Will upset your sister."Sophia glared at Ray. "Fair enough.But if only you come with me and tell me what happened."in case she would make trouble again, Ray walked out of the ward with the three of them and closed the door behind him."Calm down. Your sister is fine. She will be discharged from hospital as soon as she woke up."Sophia was relieved. Then she asked why Sarah committed suicide. Ray had no choice but to tell the truth.The more Sophia heard, the angrier she got. In the end, gritting her teeth, she cursed, "You idiot! Not only are you useless, but you encouraged my sister to bet with Tristan, claiming that you had a way to help her get the contract.But what did you do in the end?Nothi
