A long while later, when Mr. Lewis heard Gregory's report and saw the DNA test results, he realized Anderson was indeed his grandson. It was destiny. Years ago, he knew his daughter had appeared in Lightharbor, so he sent Gregory there to investigate, establishing a corporation, only to meet his grandson.Even more miraculous was that his grandson too was a war god, like him in his youth, guarding the borders and keeping Ivory Essence thriving for over twenty years. Now, with internal and external threats looming, Mr. Lewis, weakened by age, could no longer participate in warfare. But his grandson could take his place.However, it seemed his grandson had matters to attend to in Lightharbor and was reluctant to engage in battle anymore. It was better to let Gregory persuade him, while Mr. Lewis would support Anderson from behind, ensuring his peace of mind to secure the future of Ivory Essence."Gregory, I will issue a decree. From now on, all my power in other cities will be under you
Lauren was truly disappointed with the current state of the Harris family. They had all become opportunistic and duplicitous, ready to trample on each other. She wondered when the Harris family had become so rotten. When she was in trouble and vulnerable, they were ready to ruthlessly suppress her; but now that she had value, they were fawning and begging."We're really sorry for our past disrespect, but after all, you're still a member of the Harris family, still carrying the Harris blood. So, for the sake of our family's legacy, please let bygones be bygones and help restore the prosperity of our Harris family!" Caroline had never had to humble herself before her cousin like this. It was the most submissive attitude she had ever taken."Sorry, I can’t help you." Lauren said."Can't you be a bit more magnanimous? Not even willing to help your own family?" Caroline's face changed."It's not that I'm not sympathetic, but I really can't do it! The CEO of Pinnacle Dynamics has declared t
"Caroline, if Anderson wants to compete with you like this, immediately tell Young Master Lopez to book two floors at the New Century Hotel. If his family is not ready to pay that much, we will pay for it ourselves! Also, invite the richest and most famous people in the area to your wedding. Let's see how he compares to you!" Mrs. Harris said furiously."You're right, Grandma. I'll inform Conrad right away and also ask him to invite more VIP guests to make the wedding as grand as possible." Caroline said excitedly.She didn't expect her twisting of Lauren's words to infuriate her grandmother to such an extent."Anderson said that if his wedding isn't as grand as yours, he would agree to divorce Lauren. We'll find someone to write a divorce agreement, and on the 14th, let them both be present to sign the divorce papers, then we can kick that scoundrel Anderson out of the house!" Mrs. Harris continued."So, my happiest day will become their most miserable one, right, Grandma?" Caroline
As soon as Director Allen left, Anderson received a call from Gregory."What's up?" Anderson asked."Mr. Campbell, where are you right now? I have some important things to discuss with you in person." Gregory said."I'm in the CEO's office at Pinnacle Dynamics Corporation. Come over here." Anderson said."Alright, I'll be there soon."Ten minutes later, Gregory arrived at Anderson's office."What's the matter?" Anderson asked again."Mr. Campbell, this is a top-secret matter. There are surveillance cameras in this office, not suitable for discussion. Let's go up to the rooftop." Gregory suggested."Alright, let's go to the rooftop." Anderson agreed.The two then headed to the rooftop of the Pinnacle Dynamics Corporation building.It was the tallest building in Lightharbor. Just the elevator ride to the top of the building took about 10 minutes. Once they reached the rooftop, Anderson asked again: "What's so secretive?""Mr. Campbell, I went to Rose Quay yesterday and met the Commander
On the way, Anderson shared some personal details about his background and relationship with his foster father.Anderson's foster father, Timothy Hernandez, was a war veteran born and raised during wartime. In a fierce battle, his right leg was severely wounded. After healing, the leg was deformed and limped, requiring a crutch for the rest of his life.He was a close friend of Anderson's mother, hence deeply connected to Anderson's father, leading him to adopt Anderson. When Anderson's family went bankrupt and he was scorned by others, Mr. Hernandez recommended him for the military.Despite his disability, Timothy Hernandez was a seasoned veteran who contributed significantly to his country. Anderson's military career, heavily influenced by Mr. Hernandez, was based on the belief that good men should loyally serve their country, protect it, and build a reputation on the battlefield.Therefore, Anderson had resolutely joined the army and achieved outstanding performance on the battlefi
Before Anderson and Gregory left, Mr. Hernandez advised his son: "Being back this time, you must remember it as a lesson, learn to control yourself, and not repeat similar mistakes.""I understand." Anderson respectfully replied.On the way back, he said to Gregory: "Remember to arrange for someone to pick me up tomorrow.""I remember, I won't forget something as important as that." Gregory responded. ...After leaving Mr. Hernandez's house, Anderson went to the hospital where his biological father, Brayden Campbell, was being treated. It had been over six years, but Mr. Campbell's condition hadn't shown any signs of improvement. Anderson couldn't boast to his father that he was about to organize a wedding. Like his wedding three years ago, Mr. Campbell couldn't attend this one either.Although similar, the outcomes would be different. Anderson was no longer a pushover for others to bully. Those who harmed his father and the Campbell family would not have a good ending.After sitting
The accountant didn't know what to do, so she looked at Principal Wright with a pleading look, how could she issue an invoice when there's no medical paperwork. Moreover, this donation should contact the chief accountant instead, she is here only responsible for collecting medical fees."Mr. Campbell, wait a moment, I will contact the chief accountant and ask her to issue the invoice, this accountant is only responsible for collecting medical fees." Principal Wright said.Then Cameron laughed ha ha: "There, the perfect time for you to run away, don't stay here and embarrass yourself anymore."Anderson didn't say anything, to those who look down on others like this, one should only respond with actions, words are meaningless.After five minutes, the female chief accountant brought the receipt along with a card-swiping machine. It included a million dollars in donations, along with about one million eight hundred thousand dollars for half a year in the most advanced ward. With the stagg
The following afternoon, Hannah visited Lauren's office, smiling warmly as she inquired:"Lauren, is tomorrow your wedding day?""Director Allen knows about this too!" Lauren remarked."Of course, who doesn't know about the wedding of the most beautiful woman in the city?" Hannah responded."Director, you jest. Even I'm not sure if my husband can afford to give me a wedding!" Lauren said, aware that this was news Caroline and Christian deliberately spread, aiming to embarrass her the next day."I think your husband is perfectly capable, otherwise, how could he assure you so confidently?" Hannah countered."I don't expect much from him, having a smooth marriage is all I wish for." Lauren replied with a lack of confidence. Despite Anderson's promise of a lavish wedding just for them, Lauren had yet to see any action from him."So, have you found any bridesmaids yet?" It was then that Hannah got to the main point."Just one, my friend Kelly Smith." Lauren was surprised to see the directo
