Mr. Issac pulled his phone from his ear and moved closer to Mr. Adonis, who was sitting on a sofa beside him. "Your son is ready to come back, sir," Mr. Issac said, and he smiled in satisfaction. He stroked his beard and said in a cold tone, "I knew he was going to submit but I never expected it to be soon,"Adonis knew that his son wouldn't be able to survive in the public. After Smith left, he ordered his men to spy on Smith. He ordered the restaurant not to employ his son in their company because he knew how strong-headed his son could be. He knew his son was going to submit to him if no one employed him in their company. With his power, he was capable of shutting down the most powerful companies in Phenix City. Even though he didn't want to take such action, he knew Smith wouldn't submit to him if he managed to get a job. However, he was undeniably excited when he got the news. "What are you waiting for? Tell him to acknowledge me as his father," he said coldly. "Okay, Sir,
Edward and Georgie were extremely shocked when they heard the statement of the CEO of the Red Rose restaurant. He wanted them out of his restaurant. How was that possible?Edward felt insulted and annoyed. "How dare you! You want me out of your restaurant because of this douchebag," he said coldly and glared at Mr. Luke, who lowered his head in fear. Mr. Luke felt conflicted. He knew Edward was also a powerful man in the society and not one that could be offended but he didn't have a choice. He could tell Smith was more powerful, if not, he wouldn't be able to make him go bankrupt within a few minutes. They were both powerful people. "I'm sorry, you have to obey my order. Please leave politely while I'm still nice," he quickly said in a cold tone as Smith threw him a fierce glare. Once again, Edward was shocked. His body trembled with anger as he condescendingly glared at Smith. What was happening? He wanted to make the manager send Smith out of the restaurant to flaunt his powe
Huh? Mr. Luke turned and looked at Smith with a surprised look on his face. He was elated and confused that Smith could give him such a high position after buying the company from him. Mr. Luke lowered his head and knelt on the floor without hesitation, "Thank you, sir. I promise to be loyal and honest to you for the rest of my life."He kowtowed and knocked his head on the floor countlessly. Smith was touched by his action. He didn't know that Mr. Luke had such a submissive side. However, he didn't show it."You don't need to go this extreme," he said coldly, and Mr. Luke stopped kowtowing. He knew Mr. Luke loved the restaurant so he was reluctant to leave. And besides, he had a reputation to maintain. Truly, Mr. Luke didn't want to sell his restaurant to Smith but he had to because he didn't have a choice. He was also reluctant to leave the company because it would be a shame to him that he sold his multi-billion dollar restaurant just like that. He was glad that Smith gave h
"You want me to pin the pregnancy on him?" Georgia asked with a surprised look on her face. She was frustrated and furious. She had to divorce and date Edward because she wanted to satisfy them, then again, her mother wanted her to pin the pregnancy on Edward. However, Olivia was unfazed by her daughter's indifferent expression. She said coldly. "Of course, that's the reason why you're dating Edward. Or have you forgotten?"She was angry at her daughter for being naive. If her daughter could make Edward accept the pregnancy then the kid would be the successor of his wealth, and their family would also benefit from it. "No, I can't do that. You didn't tell me this earlier. And besides, he's not the father of my son. How do you expect me to do such a despicable thing?" She asked coldly, and her mother flared up. "You call that despicable, huh? I'm doing this because of you so why are you acting this way?""Or do you like the life that you're living with Smith? Can't you see that afte
"Huh?" Smith muttered with a cold look on his face. He was fazed by his father's cold and unquestionable tone. How could his father ask him to come to his residence in such a tone?Mr. Adonis, who noticed the awkward atmosphere, quickly said. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sound that way.""I won't force you but I would be glad if you could come to my mansion. I would like to see my son again,""What do you think?" He asked. Smith bit on his lower lips until it almost bled. He contemplated whether to visit his father or not. He had conflicted feelings. Even though he was angry at his father, he was glad that his father kept to his word and released his account after he acknowledged him as his father. He stroked his chin for a while as he thought about it. He decided to give his father a chance. He had lost his mother so it would be better to bond with his father instead of fighting with him. There was no need for him to hold grudges against his dad. He just had to let go of the pas
"Are you sending me away because of this bastard son of yours?" Jayden asked angrily, and his father got furious. Mr. Adonis moved closer to Jayden and slapped him fiercely on his left cheek. Jayden staggered backward and grunted out in pain. At that moment, he knew he couldn't afford to offend his father. "Leave now!" His father ordered. "You'll pay for this," he glared at Smith, who smirked at him.His heart burned with rage as he left the dining room. He promised to make Smith's life a living hell. Mr. Adonis shook his head with a sigh as he stared at Jayden, who left the Villa angrily. He turned to Smith, who looked angry. He placed his hand on Smith's shoulder and said calmly. "I'm sorry about what happened. I hope you don't take it to your heart,""Jayden is just being reckless,""Reckless? Or isn't that what you told him?" Smith asked coldly. He didn't hide the contempt and resentment in his voice when he said that. He was angry at his father and Jayden. He believed that
"Miss Olivia," Smith muttered and clenched his fist with an angry look on his face. He couldn't forget what he passed through at the hands of his ex-wife's family, especially her mother, Olivia. He wanted to walk up to her but he aborted the thought. He took a deep breath, trying his best to control the anger that seeped through his heart. It was quite unfortunate for him to see his ex-wife's mother in the car collection. He ignored her and pretended like she didn't exist. He walked away to another shop on the corner. There was no way she would be able to see him. "Who is that poor-looking guy over there?" "What did he come to do?" "Maybe he came to beg for money. He looked like a beggar," "Yes, you're right. What a pity!" "The security guards should chase him away," He frowned as he listened to the hateful remarks and comments of the customers who came to buy cars from the shop. He was used to it anyway so he didn't take it to heart. "Still looking down on someone," h
Olivia was unexplainably shocked to hear Asher's statement. How was that possible? An Audi car? It was a million dollars worth of car! She couldn't even afford to spend such an amount of money on a car. How did Smith manage to get such an amount of money to buy such an expensive car? She didn't believe he could afford such an expensive car. She believed Smith was trying to show off before her because she had humiliated him countlessly before in the house. "An Audi R8 car?" She asked, and he nodded his head with a cold smile on his face. She staggered backward as she noticed the sincerity and coldness in his eyes. She could tell that he wanted to buy such an expensive car. That was almost impossible to believe! How did her daughter's ex-husband become so rich overnight? Her impression of him began to change after she noticed how serious he was. "How is that possible?" She asked in a low tone that Smith could barely hear her. He smiled in satisfaction as he stared at the l
The old ancestor stopped attending to his wound and turned to Micheal with a shocked expression on his face. “Huh?” He muttered with a confused look on his face and Micheal nodded his head in response. “Are you sure about what you're talking about? You want to follow the cultivation path?” The old ancestor asked. “Yes, old ancestor. I have made up my mind. I want to follow the path you followed to become strong and powerful,” Micheal said affirmatively with his eyes burning with coldness and fury. The old ancestor smiled and nodded his head in satisfaction when he saw how determined Micheal was. Micheal had to made up his mind because of everything that happened. Not only was he hated by the members of the Rodriguez family because of Smith but he was also bullied. None of them wanted to be a friend with a betrayer. He made such decisions because he also wanted to make Smith suffer for what he had done to his family in such a way that he wouldn't be able to recover from it. “But
“Who are you, Micheal?” Micheal asked in a cold tone while his body trembled slightly in fear as he glanced at the man who was staring at him with a cold and piercing gaze. It seemed as though the man was prying inside his son and he couldn't do anything about it. Something about that man was strange and mysterious. Not only did his voice travel across every corner of the building without any modern equipment but it also made them tremble in fear. How could a member of the Rodriguez family be so strong and mysterious? This was the question that was on the mind of the members of the Rodriguez family who were present in the estate. They stared at the man in fear. “You don't have to be scared of me. I'm one of you.”“Your family is only a branch of the Rodriguez family and I can be considered as one of your ancestors. I'm called Elder Lin.” The man said in a calm tone as he walked toward them. Gasp! Gasp! Gasp!Everyone gasped out in shock when they heard his statement. Who didn't
Georgia was rushed to the hospital by her family members. Although they were facing different challenges because of her, they were there to support her because her unborn child was the only person that could change their fate. They didn't take Smith's words seriously. Even if he doesn't believe that he was the father of the child, they could convince him to do a DNA test to prove who the father of the child was. “We have to make sure she doesn't die.”“Yes. We can't allow anything to happen to the child inside of her.”“We have to protect her. That's the only way we can reclaim our position in Phoenix City again.”The members of the Rodriguez family were desperate and willing to make sure that the unborn child inside of Georgia survive. If only they knew that fate had something else in store for them. “Where's the doctor?” Micheal asked angrily with a cold look on his face when he realized that his family members weren't willing to listen to him like they do in the past. At that m
As soon as Smith returned home, he met someone he wasn't expecting to see. At least so soon. He saw his father, Mr. Anderson, smiling at him warmly as he stared at him. “Welcome back, son,” his dad said and hugged him warmly.He hugged his father back without any sign of hesitation even though he wondered what was wrong. “You did a great job sir. I wouldn't have believed that you're so decisive if I didn't see it myself,” his father said and he arched his eyebrows. He looked up with a surprised look on his face when he realized what his father was trying to talk about. He shook his head with a sigh. He couldn't help but wonder how his father managed to find out about what happened in the Rodriguez's estate so soon. He was unaware that his father had sent someone there secretly to broadcast everything that happened there to him privately. He was amazed and satisfied with his son's judgment. He didn't expect Smith to be so decisive and ruthless to those who dare to go against him.
Georgia sighed and shuddered inexplicably when she heard his statement. She felt warmth in her heart when she saw how considerate he was about her. A thought crossed her mind as she stared at the young man she used to look down upon until he revealed his identity as the Young Master of the Edward family.“Did he let her go because he knows the identity of the unborn child inside of me? Does he know that he's the father of my unborn child?” She shook her head as the thought crossed her mind. She felt it was almost impossible for him to find out that he was the father of the unborn child inside of her. She didn't bother to tell him now because she felt it was absurd and shameful. Apart from that, there's a chance that he wouldn't believe her. How could he believe her when he couldn't remember having sex with her? That was right. The only thing he had sex with her was when he was drunk so it was normal that he couldn't remember it because she was discreet about everything that happene
Smith smiled coldly as he watched the family members of the Rodriguez family cry sorrowfully after the demise of Madam Kate, who was a mother and grandmother to all of them. He felt half of the burden he had been crying in his heart and mind decreased the moment she fell on the floor lifeless. He has been carrying the hatred and pain for more than five years. His life felt like hell during the five years that he spent in the Rodriguez family. They treated him as trash and relegated him to a post even insignificant before the house maids in the Rodriguez family. No one regarded him despite being the husband of Georgia, who was a good member of the Rodriguez family. He had always hated himself for being weak and helpless before them. He had promised to make them regret their actions in the past even though he didn't believe himself. Who could have believed that after five years his father would find him and bring him back home to enjoy unlimited wealth? Despite the atmosphere that w
Madam Kate gasped out in shock as soon as Smith finished his statement. His statement caused the expression of the members of the Rodriquez family to go grim. They were extremely shocked and shaken by Smith's statement. None of them expected him to be so ruthless and cold-hearted. Although it was within their speculation and expectation, they couldn't help but feel shocked and helpless. Madam Kate, on the other hand, looked at him with a hint of unwillingness and despair. She knew there was nothing she could do. Resisting or fighting back was futile because Smith was determined to make sure that she kills herself. At that moment, she regretted going against him. It was too late to repair the damage that she had done to him in the past. She made him feel less of a human because he was not worthy or up to their standard. Smith remained cold and expressionless faced with the pleas of the members of the Rodriguez family. It was natural for him to be ruthless to the family that dared
Micheal looked up at him hesitantly for a while, unable to find an answer to Smith's question. He was also not expecting Smith's question. He knew it was not necessary for Smith to ask him such a question because he was among those who went against him and looked down upon the Rodriguez family the most in the past. Could Smith not know that he was trying to save himself from the crisis?Madam Kate felt slightly embarrassed that her supposed favorite son-in-law didn't hesitate to leave when the family was faced with such a threat. She didn't blame him either because she knew that their chance of survival was low considering what they've done against him in the past and even recently before his identity as the Young Master of the Edward family was revealed. “Why aren't you saying anything? Don't tell me that you are shocked by my question,” Smith demanded in a cold tone as he stared at him with a piercing gaze. Micheal swallowed the lump in his throat when he saw the menacing look th
Huh? Smith was quite taken aback by her question. He arched his eyebrows and stared at her with a confused look on his face. He couldn't help but chuckled inwardly when he heard her question. Instead of asking her questions, he redirected the question to her. “Don’t you think that's a ridiculous question, Kate? If you were in my shoes and you were trampled upon in the past, what are you going to do to such people?” He asked in a calm tone. He had a cold smile on his face that made him look sinister and unapproachable. Madam Kate shuddered in fear and swallowed the lump of saliva in her throat when she heard his question. She couldn't dare to refute him. She knew he was saying the truth anyways. If someone has offended her the same way she has offended him, she would make sure that person doesn't go scot-free. But how could she tell him such a thing? It would make no difference than shooting herself in the legs. She kept quiet while trembling in fear as she stared at Smith, who l
