The clock had already struck eight when Aland and Shannon descended the stairs. Without further ado, the two of them made their way to the dining table. Ignoring the presence of Jill and Camellia, who were gazing at each other.
"I'll be right back after calling Pete for breakfast."Jill laughed with a grin as she savoured a chicken dish filled with cheese and selected spices. "You're shameless. You guys stay here, linger, but betray my late husband by uniting Reynolds Industries and those cheap JF Groups?"Like a sudden deafness, Aland did not care about his mother-in-law's words. He simply nodded and smiled at Shannon, who was heading to the guest room at the front, close to the living room.Jill threw her knife at Aland, but he managed to dodge it with just a tilt of his head. She laughed, snorted, disdained. "For the first time, I see people who are shameless enough to join us at the dinner table after spitting on me last night! I should have roused James from his

Just before crossing the markings at the traffic light, Jill quickly realised that she was out of control. She quickly hit the clutch pedal hard, followed by the brake pedal.In just an instant, Jill's luxury car came to a halt just before all the vehicles from the opposite lane hit the gas. That way, she could avoid a traffic accident.Unfortunately, her car came to a sudden halt, causing her to hit the back of the car. Her head hit the steering wheel and her forehead bled. Slowly but surely, Jill breathed a sigh of relief.Instead of regretting having gone that far, Jill laughed. She laughed out loud when she realised no one could stop her but herself. Not even fate."That's right. Only I will make my destiny change. Only I can decide where my destiny will lead."Elsewhere, Pete and Aland, who had dropped Shannon off, immediately headed to JF Load.Pete, who was now trying to open the JF Load application, tried to prove to Aland how bugs interfere with cust

"What the fuck with you, Eddie? Have you gone mad? You could have warned me, couldn't you? You could have just told me everything in a message after telling me about the merger! Why did you have to wait for me to break down first to tell me everything, huh?"Eddie was silent. He looked down deeply as he looked the other way. "They threatened me, Mr Fischer. They also kept saying that you weren't really James's son. That's why I had my doubts at first. I—"Eddie had barely finished his sentence when Arthur slapped him with such force that he fell backwards. He looked up at Arthur, who was still staring at him fearfully."You had your doubts, huh? It's obvious I'm James's son and you doubt me? You knew me first, Eddie! Dad even introduced me in public that I was his son! And you're doubting me? Who are you doubting? Me or my dad's statement that you've taken for granted in life, huh?"Eddie was still silent with his cheeks heating up from the powerful slap. He knew som

Jill walked quickly into the restaurant. Her gaze was sharp as she headed to the VIP room booked for her meeting with Alex Law. With her anger mounting, she really thought she would take it out on the right person. "Damn it! He doesn't even want to talk on the phone. Do I still have to lose again for his carelessness this time? Buying him exclusive food just to ask what the hell is going on? What a greedy man! Doesn't he know who he's dealing with yet?"Jill opened the special room door quickly. She found Alex sipping coffee shakily. The door slammed shut with a loud bang. It was as if she didn't care if there was tremendous damage to be done in the end.Quickly and with a burst of anger, Jill approached and slapped Alex hard. The coffee cup in Alex's hand fell over and shattered into dozens of pieces. Some shards landed on the backs of Jill's legs, leaving scars and blood.Alex immediately looked down, no longer daring to look up. He swallowed hard, as if there was noth

Arthur was smashing some glasses in the corner of his room when Jill suddenly arrived with the same anger. Instead of sharing her anger, Jill was shocked to see Arthur's workspace filled with broken glasses and pitchers. "What the hell is going on, Arthur? Why did you destroy your room, huh?"Arthur twisted his head, then glanced at Jill, who was already holding an equally large amount of anger. "Then how should I express my disappointment if not like this, Mrs Reynolds? Should I destroy your room? Is that what you want? Or should I destroy Gregory's room? Why do you have to question me about these things?"Jill swallowed irritably. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, trying not to be triggered by Arthur's shouting. "Can't you speak politely, huh?"Arthur massaged his temples lightly. This time, his nape felt so stiff from being so angry. He approached Jill, who was still clenching her lips tightly. "How much more polite should I treat you, Mrs Reynolds? I've ans

"I'm sorry, Mrs Fischer."Alex's apology was heard by Shannon, who was sitting in her comfortable chair. She glanced at Alex, who had a bruised look on most of his face. She smiled for a moment, before finally fixing Alex with a glare."You heard it yourself, didn't you?"Shannon's sarcastic question certainly made Alex feel guilty. He looked down even deeper before he could no longer hold back the tears. "I really didn't expect Mrs Reynolds to have such horrible thoughts. She's trying to destroy you, even though she gave Reynolds Industries to you as a wedding gift."Shannon rose from her overstuffed chair and approached Alex, who sat kneeling on the floor, head down and sobbing. She gently grabbed both of Alex's shoulders and asked him to sit in the chair."Stand up, Mr Law. I don't want to look so high when the others are sitting low, despite their guilt."Shannon's statement certainly made Alex sob even more. Just by hearing Shannon's soft voice and the C

My bad to mishear, Mr Bowen. But could you repeat it again? I think there's a bit of network interference here."Arthur's hesitant request was not without reason. He really didn't expect that Bowen was no longer applying for investment, as Alex had revealed earlier.Jill, who had been smiling as she waited for Bowen's answer, changed her expression. She looked incredulous when she heard Bowen's correct statement."You didn't hear wrong, Fischer. You asked me to be an investor at first, but they refused. So you asked for a company that could keep you respectable in the UK. So I transferred my ownership to you. I also promised a bit of my earnings to give to you, didn't I? Is that still not enough for you, Fischer?"Arthur swallowed hard and blinked rapidly as Jill closed her eyes in disappointment. He cleared his throat briefly before finally nodding in affirmation, as if he saw Bowen's presence right before him. "Ah, you were right, Mr Bowen. I guess I misheard about

"W-what do you mean, Mrs Reynolds? Engaged?" asked a confused Arthur. His eyes narrowed sharply as he questioned the meaning of Jill's incomprehensible words. "How could you ask me to marry your daughter at a time like this, Mrs Reynolds?"Jill positioned her seat comfortably and leaned towards Arthur across the table so that they could be closer. She glanced around as if she didn't want anyone else listening in. "As I said before, Arthur. We can't do anything now but use Camellia. You can make her a pawn. I mean, we can ask her to help us dig up all the information about Reynolds Industries. That's all we can do for now, right?"Arthur shook his head slowly. His appetite was gone in an instant. "No, Mrs Reynolds. I can't accept this proposal. After all, without marrying her, we can ask her to help. She is still your daughter who will obey all your requests, Mrs Reynolds. Why should I marry her?"Arthur's persistent refusal made Jill frown in surprise. She even shook her

"Get out of here now!"Jill's expulsion when Aland, Pete, and Shannon arrived at the Reynolds residence with many vases thrown out and broken made the trio no longer surprised by the messy state of the house.The two bodyguards who walked in front of them immediately rushed to Jill's back in an effort to protect their three clients. Assisted by a device connected to the other two bodyguards at the back, they would act as a shield for the vase that might be thrown.As more strangers came to her house, Jill became more furious. She screamed loudly, like she was possessed by a demon. Her eyes widened as she approached Cobb and Shannon, who stood behind the two bodyguards with their backs to her.Just as Jill was about to reach Aland to slap him as hard as she wanted to make him lose money at the restaurant, the two bodyguards who had his back turned around and prevented her from getting any closer. She widened her eyes and wrenched her hands from the powerful grip of th
