This was within Kalix's expectations, so he wasn't surprised to receive a phone call from Julie. He could guess what the woman wanted, but it didn't mean Kalix's guess was entirely correct given Julie's anger moments ago.Kalix chuckled mockingly, then responded casually, "The flag of war? I thought your son did that first and now he has to raise the white flag before it's too late."The meaning of Kalix's words was clear, he was asking Jaxson to surrender and undoubtedly begging for forgiveness. However, Julie had a high sense of pride, she was the only daughter of the Dominic family, and she had successfully built her career to this level of success. Who dared to underestimate her? No one but Kalix!With a disgusted snort and boiling anger, Julie exclaimed, "You're so arrogant. I will ruin your life. Oh no, I will also ruin your mother's life. I will not stay silent about everything you've done to my son and my family!"Julie continued to berate Kalix and Grace, forgetting her initi
Persuading Grace to move to the capital was not easy for Kalix, as he presented various reasons for his relocation plan. He also expressed his concerns, although not explicitly. Kalix had already shown enough that he worried about his mother.Grace certainly realized this, she sighed deeply, saying nothing more. She put down her utensils, drank some water, and wiped her lips before getting up to leave after saying goodnight.Leaving Kalix and Eugene staring at each other in helplessness.Eugene nodded gently and reassured, "Don't rush too much. We'll try to convince her again tomorrow."Kalix nodded and then said softly to the woman, "Thank you.""For what?" Eugene lightly pinched Kalix's waist, making the atmosphere calmer than before.The next morning, Kalix still wanted to persuade his mother to move, but he abandoned his intention when he saw his mother already dressed neatly and being escorted by Eugene."Where are you going?" Kalix asked confusedly."To the cemetery, didn't mom
Several times her calls were rejected, Julie felt anger in her heart, but this time, she mustn't act recklessly as before even though she really wanted to slam her phone again. She forced herself to remain calm, took a deep breath, and wanted to try contacting Kalix's number once more.However, someone interrupted and called out, "Julie."Julie turned around, she saw Mason standing at the doorway with his arms folded across his chest. The man, though no longer young, still retained traces of his handsomeness and flamboyant youth, and his mature demeanor was actually his main charm. Julie sighed inwardly about Mason, but she still couldn't entirely blame the man.She knew the fact that she couldn't let go of Mason even though she occasionally despised him."What?" Julie asked curtly.Mason didn't move, in his place, he stared straight into Julie's eyes and asked, "You, do you know about my plan to run for governor of the capital city?""I know, so what?" Julie replied, staring at her h
From morning until evening, Grace had a busy day. She went to the market to buy fresh ingredients for tonight's dinner, to the supermarket, and busied herself cooking dinner from noon until evening.Meanwhile, on Kalix's first day officially working at Owen Financial Holdings, he had to come home early to help his mother and remind her not to overwork herself.As previously discussed, Celeste and Snyder's family would come over to their house for dinner tonight. So Grace's busyness had a specific meaning, especially since she didn't want to disappoint her future in-laws."Mom, don't tire yourself too much, let others take care of the rest, you should get ready before 5 p.m.," Kalix said as he appeared in the kitchen to check on his mother.Grace snorted but didn't immediately stop what she was doing. Instead, she replied, "You just arrived, you should rest for a bit and freshen up. I'll take care of myself later."Hearing the expected response, Kalix could only sigh resignedly. He rem

Suddenly getting angry without reason and then calming herself down, it had become common for Julie in the past few days. Mason also grew accustomed to it and could only tolerate it because he knew the extent of the difficulties Julie faced.Not only did they have to deal with the problems caused by Jaxson, but they also had to manage a company facing a series of issues. Their colleagues at TX Corporation, for some reason, were very difficult to ask for help. Mason also felt somewhat powerless as his old acquaintances were reluctant to assist him in handling Jaxson's problems for various reasons.Mason sighed deeply, feeling exhausted.Julie set aside her momentary anger and spoke to Mason again, saying, "Jaxson's trial will be held in three days.""Mm," Mason replied briefly, taking steps into the room and adding, "But I won't be able to attend."Julie's eyes widened in surprise, spontaneously glancing at Mason and noticing the calmness amidst his exhaustion. However, at this moment,
Rumors about Mason having another child spread quickly on the internet, causing quite a stir even at the open campaign held. Instead of highlighting Mason's cheating behavior within the family, the news actually showed Mason's darker side, leaving his son and first wife behind when he moved to the city to start a new life with a wealthier woman, Julie.Even though many people thought it was a cunning way for another gubernatorial candidate to tarnish Mason's reputation, there were also those who questioned the truth and began to doubt Mason.During his campaign, someone informed Mason about the internet uproar."Hasn't that issue been resolved?" His assistant, standing nearby, immediately approached and replied, "Yes, it's been settled."Mason glanced at him with a meaningful look, making his assistant feel a bit nervous."We've done as you commanded, Mister, but it seems less effective. What if you warn the people attending the campaign not to believe the bad rumors on the internet.
Jane glanced back reflexively, furrowing her brows as she realized who was tapping her shoulder and saying something unpleasant."Well, I regret it," said Jane, giving Mr. Connor a cold snort. Then she continued, "I regret choosing to work with you at the beginning, but you're not very helpful.""Tsk," Mr. Connor rolled his eyes but did not express any displeasure. "You were the one who approached me first and offered to work together. If you regret it, that's your business and it doesn't affect our deal."Jane snorted coldly, turned around, and walked into the restaurant. Initially, she thought she wouldn't work with Kalix, so she chose Mr. Connor. However, who would have guessed that Kalix in his current life would be much stronger and certainly more appealing. Jane could only sigh deeply with regret.As she entered the restaurant, she bumped into someone she knew."Eugene..." Jane called out in surprise.Eugene halted her steps and showed a thin smile, not intimate but not unfamili
