The butler Germ controlled Jack, pinned to the ground, and was uncomfortable, resentful, and disobedient; he was furious and humiliated because an older man defeated him."After all, what do you want!? What are you plotting!? Say it now!""You've asked me this question no less than twice; don't you know what I want? This is unbelievable." Butler Germ said that Jack's tricks compared to him, were nothing but childish games, after all; he smiled wryly and then squeezed Jack tighter, making him groan.Jack seemed to be unable to breathe now, and finally, he couldn't take it anymore; he groaned, begging:"Okay, I'll do what you want, I'll do what you want; you let go of me first.""What do you have for me to believe you? what if you keep flipping and attacking me?" Butler Germ, of course, didn't let go so quickly; he kept his grip on Jack, making his joints crackle.Because of this, Jack is forced to agree:"Okay, okay, you let go of my lap a little bit, you let me breathe, then we'll tal
Mrs. Locke, after receiving Jack's grip on her shirt, was highly shocked; she couldn't believe that her beloved grandson could do this to her; it was so unethical, bold, and impossibly acceptable.Mrs. Locke seemed to be frozen for a few seconds, and after she regained consciousness, she felt only a great fire burning in her heart.“You… you… you dare do this to me. Do you want to rebel?"At first, she stammered, almost speechless, And then screaming, she clutched Jack's arm, wanting to rip him off her collar."Let go, let go!"Mrs. Locke struggled, but Jack now seemed to be emotionless, neither hearing nor feeling anything around him; he still held tightly to Mrs. Locke's collar and did not let go, despite her shouting or tearing his arm.And the people around at this time could not look the other way anymore; they were forced to intervene, remove the two, and simultaneously speak up for reconciliation.Now feeling that he had seen enough of the play, Butler Germ approached and hande
"I have obtained Jack's stash," Germ said.Of course, Germ didn't do anything without a purpose; there was a reason behind this. After hearing Germ's words, Phil sighed softly and asked, "Stash? How did you manage that?""This is something you shouldn't know; ultimately, you should just trust me," Germ replied.Though his son didn't resemble an ordinary child, at least not in his thinking, Germ still tried to protect his child's thoughts and the world around him, limiting Phil from witnessing or knowing too much about the terrifying aspects of the adult world. Germ knew it was precisely because of this protection that Phil had developed such mature thinking. It was hard for anyone to believe that a three-year-old child could possess such a profound understanding."Alright then, if you don't want to tell me, I won't force it. Now that this is settled, you can leave, and I'll have my mother deliver this to Chairman Alex. I only need you to ensure that the information inside is authentic
That was a zip bag, and a black USD (recording device) was inside.Alex began to realize the importance of the matter. An anonymous package with a recording device sent to him?The first thing Alex asked Jowley was not if he had checked the contents of the USD, but rather, "Did you pass it to the technical department for inspection?"Indeed, Alex was concerned that there might be a bomb or something else that could harm the Forest Corporation or Jowley, the recipient.Alex's mind was tense, and at that moment, Jowley nodded, "Yes, I immediately sent it to the technical department upon receiving it, and the result is that it's just a regular USD."Hearing this, Alex felt somewhat relieved. He then asked further, "Have you checked its content?""Yes, and that's why I had to contact you immediately."Judging from Jowley's demeanor, Alex could already guess that the recording must be damaging to him, but he remained calm and listened to Jowley's explanation."Inside the USD, there's a rec
Alex and Isabel waited outside; although it was now night, the number of emergency patients at the hospital did not decrease, and countless people were brought in and out."They won't let us in?" Alex asks; he is afraid she will be frightened and cry if she gets hurt without a loved one."No, they said we wait here because the inside of the emergency room is also overcrowded and cannot accommodate any more family members," Isabel replied. Then she turned, and when she saw Alex's concern, she couldn't help but sigh."Actually… Cherry won't cry before you don't know, she was abused by her biological mother a lot, and every time she cried, she would be beaten even worse or kicked out of the house, locked in the hallway or balcony. That's why she didn't dare to cry anymore. She didn't dare to cry; she was afraid that if she cried, her mother would be angry, she would hate her more, and she would be beaten even worse and even get kicked out. So no matter how much pain she gets in the futur
Alex agreed, then immediately left with Isabel. She couldn't hold back when they got in the car and asked him, "So, what new plan are you scheming again?"She asked because Alex had originally not intended to use this service, but after seeing Jinny and Acene being intimate with each other, he changed his mind. Not only did he book the home delivery service, but he also explicitly designated Acene as his delivery person.This didn't worry Isabel; it piqued her curiosity and anticipation. Alex suddenly spoke, seemingly unrelated, "I think that relationships between men and women are more open in today's society. Especially for people like Jinny, things tend to be even more open."Isabel was a bit taken aback since Alex was usually not one to be verbose; he typically got straight to the point. But now, he was speaking in a roundabout manner. She asked further, "What does that mean?""It means that if they can kiss and touch each other intimately in public like that, they can also take t
Alex looked at Acene, his gaze truly unlike that of a swindler or a liar. However, Acene still felt uncertain when he looked at Alex's not-so-luxurious house, which wasn't exactly a mansion but also not the dwelling of a wealthy person. This made him even more suspicious and cautious. Of course, while Alex was materialistic and flashy, he wasn't reckless to the extent of doing anything illegal or morally wrong. Indeed, with Acene's current thoughts, he believed that Alex was trying to tempt him into committing a legal violation, no less."I won't engage in illegal activities or go against my conscience," he declared.With that said, he shrugged off Alex's hand and turned to leave. Alex anticipated this, as he didn't hold him back like before. Instead, he casually put his hands in his pockets and watched Acene walk away with the box of goods."My work is legal, and I won't compromise my morals. I need you to get me a bill from your girlfriend's place," Alex's words hit Acene like a thu
Jowley continued slowly, “I also visited the slum area for investigation, and specifically, I also questioned Tom Holland.” At this point, Jowley paused briefly, recalling the scene from a few days ago.To get information about Jinny, it was relatively easy for Jowley. He can assign the task to his team and ensure accuracy by checking her background and asking about the people who have lived with her since childhood. In reality, older adults and neighbors were among the most reliable sources of information.However, for Henry’s plan, Jowley took it upon himself to investigate. When he arrived at the slum area, he didn’t draw too much attention. Jowley chose a simple outfit like that of a construction worker, then followed a worker’s vehicle to the slum area.Although people here recognized him, they all remained silent upon his arrival. Later, Jowley wandered around the slum area until he spotted Tom Holland. He looked at him, and Tom also noticed Jowley looking at him. Tom had known J
