Rags to Riches Chapter 25 He's Not Interested in Old Hags
"Yes. Please come with us, Ms. Lorimer. Otherwise, I'll be blamed for not carrying out my job properly," Wendy said after noticing the conflicted look on Vivian's face."Fine. Let's go," the latter answered after a moment's thought. She hoped that she could meet the mysterious man later on so that she could return Tender Moon to him."Guys, my sixth sense is telling me that we'll get another huge scoop if we follow them!""What are we waiting for? Let's go!"All the reporters followed Vivian and Wendy out of the meeting room hastily in an instant. "It's been a long time since things became this interesting. Fellas, we should go see what's up," Ivan commented after guffawing heartily.Soon, Nora and the other Lorimers were the only ones left in the meeting room. "Grandma, let's follow them as well! Regardless of what happens next, I need to get to the bottom of this mystery! Who on earth is the boss of Globestone Investments? Why did he help Vivian, that bitch, out?" Luke snarl
Rags to Riches Chapter 26 Is He Marcus Coleman?
"Ms. Snowden, why did you bring me to Hingbrook Hills?" Vivian asked with a frown on her face while looking at the scenery outside the window."You'll find out soon enough," Wendy replied mysteriously.Soon, the car was parked right outside the main entrance of the Pinnaclepoint Estate, which was located at the peak of Hingbrook Hills. "Ms. Lorimer, this is my boss' final gift for you—the Pinnaclepoint Estate," Wendy said seriously."Are you for real?" Vivian stared at the villa in disbelief. Living at Hingbrook Hills had always been her biggest dream ever since she was a kid. It was a well-kept secret, to say the least. The young woman had only told one person about it, and that was Marcus.How on earth did the supreme billionaire find out about Vivian's secret, then?"Of course! If you don't believe me, please take a look at this." Wendy stopped by the car to grab the property deed of the Pinnaclepoint Estate before passing it to Vivian respectfully. The latter studied the
Rags to Riches Chapter 27 Big Fat Liar
"Marcus Coleman? Ms. Lorimer, please don't pull tricks on me. Isn't he your husband? Wouldn't you have known about it if he were the boss of Globestone Investments?" A flicker of panic streaked past Wendy's eyes, but she quickly concealed it and asked a few questions in return with a smile on her face."Well …" Vivian quickly calmed down. Her cheeks went scarlet immediately when she realized what she had just said.Wendy was right. Marcus had married into Vivian's family for three long years, yet he did nothing but show how useless and cowardly he was. He had never given her anything during their wedding anniversary, so how could he be the supreme billionaire?"Don't overthink things, Ms. Lorimer. My boss will visit you when the time is right. Who knows, maybe he's one of your acquaintances! Anyway, I still have something else to attend to, so I'll have to leave now." Wendy's heart raced the entire time as she strode away hastily. This whole time, she kept convincing herself tha
Rags to Riches Chapter 28 Give Me Half a Year
"A g-gift? What gift? I'm going to prepare dinner now!" Marcus put on a surprised facade, already planning to slip into the kitchen. Now was clearly not the time to reveal his actual identity."Stop right there! Today's your and Vivian's wedding anniversary! Don't tell me you didn't prepare anything at all!" Brenda retorted mockingly."Brenda!" Vivian glared at her younger sister in irritation before turning to look at Marcus. There was a trace of eagerness shining in her eyes at that moment. At first, she thought that her husband might have prepared a gift for her and that he was trying to give her a surprise. However, her heart sank in disappointment when she noticed the alarmed look on his face."You shameless loser! All you do is leech off the Lorimer family! Where were you when Vivian was bullied incessantly today? Now that she's about to become the next head of the family, you decide to return to this place like the shameless mutt you are! Are you even a man? Oh wait, yo
Rags to Riches Chapter 29 Bastard
"Oh? What happened?" Marcus asked while pretending to be confused. He knew very well that a few Lorimers were aiming for Vivian's newfound wealth."It's obviously a trap. I wonder if they intend to force me to surrender the Tender Moon necklace or the Pinnaclepoint Estate. Perhaps they wish to demand more things other than those two assets," Vivian replied while looking quite troubled."Don't worry. Everything will be fine," Marcus said comfortingly, though there was a cold glint in his eyes. He vowed that no other Lorimer would be able to obtain the things he gave to Vivian even if she were to hand them over willingly.Once breakfast was over, Marcus used the opportunity to send Murray a text message while he did the dishes.…Everyone gathered in a meeting room at the Lorimer Group."Oh? I didn't expect to see a cowardly mutt like you here," Luke mocked smilingly the moment he laid his eyes on Marcus."Heh! Marcus, didn't you vow to Vivian that you'd make it up to her loudly?
Rags to Riches Chapter 30 Mistaking Vivian for Someone Else
"You can leave now!" After Nora was done venting her anger, she glared at Vivian."O-Okay then," the latter replied, still in a dazed state. The sight of the bodyguards made her realize that the supreme billionaire had struck once again. Then again, how did he know that she was being bullied right now?Still, Vivian didn't dwell on that matter. She and Marcus soon left the meeting room while feeling everyone's dissatisfied gaze on them."Grandma, what happened? She hadn't even stepped into the trap! Heck, she was about to give in earlier! How could you let them leave this easily?" Faye snarled out angrily, her eyes filled with anger and reluctance.She was one step away from moving into the Pinnaclepoint Estate. She would have been able to come in contact with the supreme billionaire if things had gone her way."What was written on that letter, Grandma?" Luke, on the other hand, was the meticulous type. He snatched up the crumpled letter from the desk before unfolding it slowly.
Rags to Riches Chapter 31 A Visit From Nora
Vivian's heart soured at the mention of a property notarization. She couldn't stand how her family treated Marcus like a scheming thief when he had worked hard all these years. So, she willed herself to speak calmly to her mother. "Mom, you shouldn't go that far.""What do you mean by 'go that far'? That loser must've brainwashed you! He freeloaded off our family for three years, but did he ever earn a living? Has he ever chipped in for the household expenses? Even a beggar on the street is better than him. At least they know how to seek out money and survive on their own. Besides, you're the future successor of Lorimer Group. Your net worth already amounts to billions. He might lose all your money if you don't get a notarization now!" Lisa snarled through gritted teeth.Even Mr. Crawford and Mr. Zimmerman couldn't help scowling at Marcus with disdain when they heard that. "I won't sign this property notarization no matter what!" Vivian had an unyielding tone as she crossed her arm
Rags to Riches Chapter 32 Eternal Suffering
Nora found it difficult to say those words. After all, she was the matriarch of the Lorimer family and had never stooped so low as to ask her descendant for help.As for Lisa, she stiffened when she heard the former's words. Deep down, she was in utter joy to see Nora asking for a favor from her daughter."Please tell me what you need. I'll do my best to fulfill your request if it's within my capabilities," Vivian answered."I-I was wondering … Could you chat with that mysterious rich guy about letting me live in Hingbrook Hills? I want to live there too …" After saying that, every muscle in Nora's body heated up like she was on fire.It was shocking that the dignified head of the Lorimer family had turned to the neglected and undervalued granddaughter for help."I'm afraid I can't." Vivian struggled to say that.Lisa's eyes bulged from their sockets at once. She couldn't understand why her daughter had refused to help Nora, the Lorimer family's mighty matriarch. All she could th

Sean nodded in agreement. "Exactly. Alan and the others really can't adapt. Why bring military rules into everything else?"Wallace glanced at Sean and said, "Of course, Marcus can earn my respect if he can demonstrate the strength that commands it."Sean shook his head. "I find that unlikely. Take the bet, for instance. If he can really break past the Colemans' gates a year from now, maybe we can respect him."Wallace sneered. "With just that? Does he even deserve our respect for that?"Breaking past the Colemans' gates is just the beginning."To earn our respect, he has to make it onto the Meranian Wolf List!""Meranian Wolf List?" Sean's eyes lit up.In the Meranian military, the Meranian Wolf List was a reflection of a soldier's strength. Those who made the list were undoubtedly individuals with exceptional powers. The higher the rank, the stronger the individual.Among the top 50 on the Meranian Wolf List were figures feared by enemy nations. Even Chief Commander Wal

Marcus and Vivian left.Alan and the others slumped in their seats and panted heavily. Alan's back was soaked in sweat.The others weren't faring much better. The air in the private room was thick with the scent of cold sweat.It took a good ten minutes before Alan finally spoke. "It truly defies my imagination! The bastard son despised by Mr. Coleman Senior has turned out to be Merania's guardian, the commander-in-chief!"Zakir nodded in agreement. "Mr. Coleman Senior was right. The commander-in-chief is indeed a member of the Colemans! It's ridiculous. Mr. Coleman Senior went to great lengths to uncover the commander-in-chief's true identity and background, not knowing that the commander-in-chief is his own son!""This matter must be kept absolutely confidential. Under no circumstances should we reveal the commander-in-chief's true identity to Mr. Coleman Senior. Otherwise, the five of us will not only ruin our future but may also spend the rest of our lives behind bars!" Al

Chapter 725 To Invite Us for a Simple Dinner
Marcus, too, did not expect that the Colemans who invited him and Vivian to dinner would turn out to be these troublemakers. These guys clearly intended to cause trouble from the looks of it.Marcus glanced around the room and pretended to be puzzled by asking, "Are you planning to go against me?"Alan and the others got goosebumps upon hearing Marcus' question.Their palms were sweating uncontrollably.They were indeed planning to humiliate Marcus.However, they never expected Marcus to be the commander-in-chief!In addition to the Dragon Training Camp incident, Alan and the other four had already attempted to take action against Marcus for the second time. The fact that they had tried to target the commander-in-chief twice in a row made them feel fearful.Alan quickly realized the gravity of the situation. His head shook mechanically, and he hastily said, "No… No! The five of us just wanted to invite you and Mrs. Coleman to have a simple dinner!"Zakir even took the initi

After Alan hung up, Vivian went to talk to Marcus about what had just happened.Vivian said with a concerned look, "Marcus, I believe the Colemans don't have good intentions. I'm afraid that the reason they invited us to dinner all of a sudden is because...."Marcus smiled as if the situation didn't bother him. "Are you worried they might have ulterior motives? Don't worry. Let's just agree to their invitation. It's just dinner!"Vivian was speechless at Marcus' response. Those people were part of the Colemans.It was clear that they were targeting Marcus. And yet, he was deliberately walking into the lion's den.Although the Colemans held a prestigious position as the top ancient family in Merania, people without a certain status did not qualify to even hear about them.

Chapter 722 Special Art of Breathing
This also highlighted that Marcus' realm far surpassed that of the Colemans, who claimed to be the top ancient family for a millennium. Alan and the others returned to their line respectfully.Marcus surveyed the group with a serious expression. "The technique I'm about to teach you is a special art of breathing. "Although it looks simple, mastering its essence will take at least a year. "Of course, as elite individuals carefully cultivated by your respective families, I believe you can grasp the basics in just a month."The excitement was evident on the faces of the individuals upon hearing what Marcus said. The commander-in-chief was personally teaching them a special art.It was a big opportunity for those eager to level up. After all, the commander-in-chief was all-powerful and mighty.

Chapter 721 Their Instructor Is the Commander-in-Chief
The individuals all listened attentively as Marcus began his class. They appeared respectful and eager to learn. Marcus extended four fingers and said, "Before we officially start the lesson, I'd like to give you a lesson in morals. The name of this lesson shall be 'Respect for Teachers and Esteem for Morality.'"Marcus signaled Edwin and Leona to fetch a small blackboard. Marcus held the chalk and wrote the words, "Respect for Teachers and Esteem for Morality." His movements were powerful."Indeed, you all have what it takes to be proud due to your strengths, for you are all invincible in your respective regions. However, you came to Dragon Training Camp to seek breakthroughs and receive guidance at a higher level."Marcus surveyed the crowd and said, "But no matter how strong you all are, you should respect the instructor who guides you."Each of you is exceptionally intelligent.

"Yes! He must prove himself. Otherwise, I'm not convinced!""He dares to disregard the Meranian Wolf List top 100. If he can actually demonstrate such abilities, I'll pretend I never heard those words!"As Alan spoke, the others responded in agreement.Chad added, "It might be difficult for him to surpass every member of the Meranian Wolf List top 100, but at least he should have the qualifications to be among them, right?"The group noticed that Marcus remained silent, and their arrogance increased.Zakir was amused. "What's the matter? Are you backing down? In life, you need to follow the rules and not spout nonsense! "Don't act all big if you don't have what it takes!"Just then, Marcus spoke up. "You've all misunderstood. I didn't respond immediately because I was considering how to demonstrate my strength."After all, weaklings like you have never witnessed a true spectacle."To Marcus, these individuals were nothing but weaklings.

Alan and the others heard what Marcus said, and a playful expression appeared on their faces.How dare this kid challenge them?Alan squinted and said, "You can be our instructor, but you'll have to display enough strength to convince us."You probably can't reach the level of Merania's Four Gunlords and Gary."But you should at least reach the level of the Eight Warriors, right?"The others looked on with a look of expectation.They all looked at Marcus with mocking eyes.Chad, who was on the side, said, "Alan, how about we set a standard for this kid? Only those recognized by the members of the Meranian Wolf List are qualified to be our instructor!""Right!" Alan agreed.Merania's Four Gunlords, Gary, and the Eight Warriors all occupied a place in the Meranian Wolf List.It could be said that the top 100 of the Meranian Wolf List gathered the strongest 100 soldiers in the Meranian military.Being honored on the Meranian Wolf List top 100 was the dream of every Meranian sol
