“Okay, I know.” Edward smiled with satisfaction, everything was as he predicted. In the chess game with Mr. Shively, he won, and won spectacularly. Between power and his beloved son, Mr. Shively chose the latter.

“When I'm not there, are other things okay?”

“It's fine, the only thing that surprised me was Mr. Shively, I didn't expect him to recommend you.” That's right, when Mr. Shively recommended Edward in front of the board of directors, not only he was surprised but everyone present was surprised. None of them knew about Edward's true identity. In the eyes of those people, Edward was just Mr. Swan's "half-hearted" son-in-law. Edward entered the company because Mr. Benson gave Mr. Swan some face. never mind.

“By the way, Edward, do you know Mr. Shively? Why did he recommend you then?”

Hearing that, Edward smiled slightly. He and Mr. Shively were indeed acquainted, and were quite "close" on the other hand. You have what he needs, and he has what you need. Their relationship cannot b

    “Look, there are two lines!” Janet cockily threw a tahi test strip at Hernan. Indeed, at first when she suspected she was pregnant, she was very scared. She wished that such a bad thing would never happen. However, when the pregnancy test showed two lines, she thought differently. That's right, there's nothing scary about being pregnant, this pregnancy is also Edward's. People often say that fierce tigers don't eat their children. Janet didn't believe that Edward was so cruel that he wouldn't even recognize his own son. Furthermore, until now Janet still believed that Edward had feelings for her, that what happened at the martial arts arena that day and what kept her under house arrest were just because of jealousy. All men are jealous, not to mention that she and Jeff haven't broken up yet and she's already with Edward. That might make Edward feel uncomfortable, so he punishes her this way. Although Edward no longer had the gentle and caring appearance that she loved as a woman, ther

    “You say that? What do you mean?” Mr. Swan questioned Edward. His daughter was like a golden branch with jade leaves; why wouldn’t Mr. Swan be delighted if Edward proposed to marry his daughter? It was truly laughable. In Mr. Swan’s eyes, Edward was just a useless twenty-year-old, living off the family.Edward maintained an extremely polite attitude, casually taking a sip of tea from the cup on the table with his hand. “Mr. Swan, I do not intend to suggest that you should celebrate if I propose to Felicia. What I want to discuss is my position within the company.”“Don’t play games here; if there’s something, say it straight!”Edward, hearing this, couldn’t help but smile slightly. His “father-in-law” was indeed lacking in sophistication. He had already mentioned it, but Mr. Swan still didn’t understand. No matter, Edward didn’t mind explaining for him to comprehend.“Mr. Swan, the marriage between your daughter and me is already set. I will marry Felicia and become her husband. Now t

    “Exactly, I and your parents are discussing our matters,” Edward said as he reached out to hold Felicia’s hand.As for Felicia, she did not shy away from Edward’s physical gesture. After all, she and Edward were about to get married, and Felicia genuinely had feelings for him.“Are they not mistreating you?” Felicia expressed her concern, aware that her parents’ attitude towards Edward wasn’t favorable; they didn’t like him. They agreed to let Edward marry her only because of the prearranged marriage between the Sherwood and Swan families, and especially because she was visually impaired. Yes, they consented to Edward marrying her because she was a blind girl.Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Swan’s faces wrinkled in displeasure. They never expected their daughter to perceive them as unkind people. Although they typically treated Edward with a stern face, this time was different. Clearly, both Mr. and Mrs. Swan were very warm towards the young man. Mr. Swan even agreed to cooperate wit

    “Thank you, Edward,” Felicia looked at Edward, her eyes teary. Besides her parents, Edward was probably the one who treated her the best. Among the others surrounding her, few were sincere—flattering on the surface but mocking and ridiculing behind her back. The only ones genuinely approaching and befriending her were the Swans. The only person she felt sincerity from was Edward. Yes, only him.“It’s nothing, no need to be polite with me. Eventually, we’ll be a family,” Edward replied.“Exactly, Edward is right. Why are you still being formal with the boy? You two are about to become husband and wife!” Mrs. Swan quickly approached and gently patted her daughter’s back. Normally, she found Edward disagreeable, but now she had a very favorable impression of him—handsome, talented, refined, generous, and especially sincere in his gestures, attitude, and behavior towards Felicia. Not to mention, the substantial amount he spent on the wedding showed his economic strength. For Felicia, to m

    Janet was in the room looking at the pregnancy test over and over again. She was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth and laugh. It's true that it's hard for a hero to pass the beauty barrier, no matter how much Edward calculated, he couldn't calculate that she was pregnant. Now in her belly is a drop of the Sherwood family's blood. If Edward doesn't want to admit it, he has to admit it. With this bet, she will definitely enter the Sherwood family and marry a handsome and rich husband like Edward.“It's truly fate, no matter how much you avoid it, you can't avoid it.” Janet held the pregnancy test tightly in her hand and smiled. Who said Edward was stupid and played around with girls without taking any measures? Now he has to bear the consequences, no one can blame him. It's not like Janet set him up.“And why did Edward take so long, or did the old man not inform him?” Janet began to doubt, she refused to sit still anymore, she had to do something. That old butler might be Mr.

    “No, I don’t believe it. I want to see Edward!” Janet screamed loudly; this shock was too much for her to bear. How could she accept the fact that the golden opportunity had slipped away? No, it was unacceptable! Clearly, her blood was carrying Edward’s child; there was no way such a thing could happen. She couldn’t accept this.“I’ll say it again; I want to see Edward.” Janet shouted in pain.“I told you, young master is busy and doesn’t have time to see you.” Hernan stepped closer to Janet, speaking up. If she continued on this path, the woman in front of him might do something unpredictable.Hernan approached Janet, and she clenched her teeth, pressing the knife against her own stomach.“Step back and call Edward immediately. If you don’t do as I say, there will be two corpses today!” Janet shouted. She didn’t believe Hernan wouldn’t follow her request. Now, if something happened to her and the baby, no one here would be at peace. Edward would surely not spare them, and she couldn’

    Mrs. Goreng, now eating fruits and chatting with the nurse, was in good spirits lately. Her health was gradually improving, and it wouldn’t be long before she could be discharged from the hospital.“Mom, I visit you.” Edward stood by the door and spoke.Seeing Edward, Mrs. Goreng was delighted, though her face didn’t show a smile. It had been a long time since Edward visited her.“You, as usual, take forever to come and visit me. If you didn’t show up this week, I might have forgotten that I have a son!” Although Mrs. Goreng felt happy inside, she continued to tease Edward. She knew he was busy, but occasionally dropping by for a visit wouldn’t hurt. It had been nearly half a month since he last appeared.Edward just smiled at her, placing a basket of fruits on the table, all of Mrs. Goreng’s favorites.“So, is this a simple visit, or do you have something else on your mind?”Edward said nothing; he signaled for the nurse to leave the room first. Now, there were only Edward and his mo

    Edward was delighted to hear that. He knew that if his mother said so, the probability of his mother approving of this marriage was already 70%. Moreover, with Felicia’s personality, not to mention his mother, even the most hard woman in the world would surely like her.“Alright, wait for me for a moment, I’ll bring her here!” “Hurry, don’t keep me waiting for long!” Mrs. Goreng said and then sat down, gently picking up a newspaper. She was also very curious, and didn’t know what Felicia looked like. Was she beautiful, gentle, and intelligent, as her son had described? After the encounter with Janet last time, she had little trust in her son’s judgment.“Sure!” Edward smiled brightly, then took the keys from the table and headed out of the hospital gate.On Felicia’s side, the dress designer had just arrived. They were currently selecting a wedding dress for the ceremony.“Felicia, based on what I see, your figure is beautiful. You will definitely suit a mermaid-style dress. What do y

    The day for the Goreng Group's shareholders' meeting has finally arrived. This general meeting may be an opportunity for some people and also a time for many people to be put down.Edward finished preparing everything early in the morning. All the important documents you collected will come into play at this time. At exactly seven o'clock Edward showed up at the company, following behind him was McKay. Seeing Edward entering the meeting room, many people looked towards him and chatted.“Is that Mr. Swan's son-in-law? Why is he here?”"I heard that he just married Mr. Swan's daughter yesterday, and he's already sitting here today. This Swan family really doesn't care about anyone!"“Mr. Swan, why is your son-in-law here? Although he was appointed last time, he is still just a small fry, and Edward is only in his early twenties, so sitting on the same table with us is a bit unreasonable." A high-rise turned to mock Mr. Swan. She didn't say it directly to Edward, of course it wasn't that

    In the hospital room Emily stared at the documents on the table.“Sorry dad, I have no other choice.”After Emily finished speaking, she took the documents and walked out of the room. She made a phone call to someone, looking extremely sneaky. Emily stopped at the hospital gate, a young man around twenty or twenty five years old was waiting there“Deliver this document to the address I wrote above. Remember, don't let anyone see it."" Yes."The young man took the documents and put them in the trunk and drove away.Emily still stood there, silently watching the silhouette of the car leaving. This may be the most difficult and risky decision of her life.What the young man held in his hand was something she wished for day and night, but now she had to give it to someone else.It's a pity to give it, but to hold it in your hand will burn you.At the same time, Edward was sitting in the room when he received a strange phone call.He looked at the number running on the screen and finall

    “Everything…everything you said is true?” Mrs. Sherwood looked up at Emily, how could she believe this nonsense? In Mrs. Sherwood's mind, Edward was just a useless, weak stepchild of her husband. As the type of shy person who doesn't dare to do anything, Emily now firmly affirms that Edward is the one behind everything, how can she accept this.“At this point you still don't believe it? I saw him calling and threatening you with my own eyes! You can't imagine how scary his eyes were at that time!”Mrs. Sherwood's hands kept shaking and she was sweating profusely. If Edward could act for so long then surely he had everything planned out. Today it could be Mr. Hamza, but tomorrow we don't know who it will be. Not to mention, if Emily says it, Edward holds evidence that Jasper raced when he was under eighteen, as well as that Jasper is not a Mr. Sherwood's biological son. If one day he wants his mother to reunite with Mr. Sherwood, then the possibility of him revealing those secrets is v

    “Damn, I didn't expect things to turn out like this!” Emily stomped her foot on the floor, just thinking about what happened today made her angry. I don't know what those news hunters will write after today! I'm afraid the whole town knows how humiliating she was kicked out of the wedding.Emily said she was going to see the doctor to ask about Jasper's condition, but her mind was no longer on her younger brother Jasper. She tried to talk about the wedding today but couldn't do it! Whether she closes her eyes or opens her eyes, stands or sits, she remembers that. This is the most humiliating thing in her life!“You bastard, an unloved illegitimate child, what the hell are you!”Emily kept cursing, then suddenly her eyes fell on a familiar figure.Not far from where she stood was a man about forty-five or fifty years old, dark skin, wearing old clothes, carrying a bag of old clothes in both hands and asking for directions."It's...it's..." Emily seemed frozen in place. She hasn't seen

    “I also don’t know what my family has created in the end! My younger brother is so virtuous that he wouldn’t even dare to step on an ant, yet...” Edward spoke while making a face like a crying cat. He spoke as if he cared a lot for Jasper, and his family was thrilled.Mr. Hamza became increasingly panicked, holding onto Edward’s sleeve and shaking it incessantly. His eyes were bloodshot.“So, how’s Jasper? How is the kid? Please, tell me! Have you found someone with a compatible blood type now? Please, please tell me,” Mr. Hamza urgently pleaded, almost kneeling down and begging Edward to tell him about Jasper.By now, Edward was sure about 90% of his speculations. If there was no connection with Jasper, why would Mr. Hamza be so desperate? If it was because Jasper was Mrs. Sherwood’s child, it wouldn’t make much sense. The relationship between Mr. Hamza and Mrs. Sherwood was over ten years ago, and there couldn’t be any lingering feelings, especially since Mrs. Sherwood had her own f

    “Okay, let me go prepare a bit,” McKay said before leaving the office. At this point, only Edward remained in the room.Edward stared intensely at the picture of Mr. Hazam in the document file. Stating that he didn’t resemble the person was an understatement. Just by looking at his face, Edward could be almost eighty percent sure that his assumptions were correct.“I will show you what divine punishment feels like!” His gaze turned demonic. The Sherwood family had brought pain to him and his mother, and he intended to reciprocate. He remembered the insignificant memories vividly.Eleven years ago, when he was still a carefree young master, he was suddenly ousted, losing everything in a single day. The one who did it was none other than his father, who always pretended to love and dote on him. The affection shown over the years was nothing but a façade. What his father desired wasn’t a family with him and his mother, as he often claimed. The only thing he wanted was money. He knew how

    “Okay, I believe you.” Mrs. Goreng ultimately chose to believe her son. She saw sincerity in his eyes. Furthermore, he could lie to her but Olivia couldn't, Olivia had no reason to cover for him. Emily lied to her about Edward dropping out of school, so she could also lie to her about other things.Edward could now smile. The person he doesn't want to hurt the most in the world is Mrs. Goreng.“Thank you, thank you for trusting me.”“Okay, let's go inside. Your bride is still waiting for you.”" Okay." After Edward finished speaking, he turned around and left. Mrs. Goreng believed her, and he was also a little more relieved.Behind her, Mrs. Goreng's eyes were always thoughtfully watching her son. Even though she didn't say it out loud, her heart was filled with countless things right now. Somehow, every time she faced Edward, she felt more strange.

    Mr. Sherwood looked down at the girl kneeling in front of him, crying. Although he and Emily did not have any father-daughter relationship, after all, they lived under the same roof for more than ten years, and Emily was also his wife's daughter. Not to mention, if he let Edward punish Emily in front of the guests now, he wouldn't know where to put his face. What's wrong with a foolish child? Who says Emily is still your daughter in name?“Edward, I know what Emily did is difficult to forgive, but please respect her as your older sister, please forgive her just once.” Mr. Sherwood threw away all his honor and humbled himself to beg Edward. At this point, he did not know what to do but rely on Edward. He only hoped that he would soften his heart and forgive this daughter of his.Edward still did not speak, he looked painfully at Mr. Sherwood. It's not unfair to say he's stupid. Even at this point, he still begs you to spare that daughter who isn't related by blood... What he does is on
