"What on earth!?" exclaimed Mr. Swan in shock upon hearing Edward's words. He had expected Edward to at least kneel and apologize or, at the very least, remain silent and listen to his scolding, but he never imagined Edward's response would be so contrary. Mr. Swan couldn't believe what he had just heard; no one had dared to speak to him in such a manner, especially someone like Edward. It was genuinely disrespectful!

"You're wrong, and yet you show such a defiant attitude. Do you... do you even believe that I..."

"What do you intend to do to me? Fire me from here? Or cancel the wedding? Or perhaps spread rumors about me online?" Edward scoffed and then wanted to walk away.

"Truly laughable! Nowadays, there are indeed many people who dislike looking in the mirror."

Edward couldn't hold back any longer, and he had no reason to restrain himself; there was no one here for him to pretend for. As for people like Mr. Swan, Edward didn't feel the need to hold back when they didn't respect him

    But Edward quickly averted his gaze and turned to leave. He had no intention of staying here any longer. What did Mr. Swan and Felicia plan to do with him? Consider him a genuinely favored person. Come here to work? While Mr. Benson had initially said, he was here to introduce an assistant to Edward and get him acquainted with the company.Indeed, in this world, at times, one couldn't trust anyone, not even themselves.As Edward walked near the company's entrance, a sudden voice rang out, "Edward." He didn't need to turn around to know that Mr. Benson was approaching from behind. He wondered what trick the cunning old fox had this time. Nonetheless, he stopped."Why are you leaving?" Mr. Benson asked."Leaving? Why not?" Edward replied indifferently."Why? What's the reason?" Mr. Benson asked again, seemingly unaware of the real cause and displaying a thick-skinned attitude. Edward was more than willing to oblige if he liked thick-skinned behavior."I have something to do, so I'm leav

    Edward arrived at the hospital, and first, he met with the doctor to inquire about his mother's condition. After learning that his mother's health had stabilized and she was only awaiting recovery to go home, Edward felt a sense of relief. Then, he proceeded to his mother's hospital room.However, he didn't rush to visit her immediately; he waited for Mr. Benson to arrive.Standing outside the hospital room, Edward looked inside and saw his mother lying on the hospital bed, being cared for and given a general check-up by the nurses. Her demeanor was alert now; she could move her arms and legs and even engage in conversation. This reassured Edward greatly.At that very moment, he suddenly heard a noise behind him. It was the sound of footsteps. Amidst the hustle and bustle of footsteps in the hospital corridor, he could still discern that particular set of footsteps, and his keen sense of hearing allowed him to recognize those footsteps. Immediately, Edward stepped aside.Indeed, the p

    Mrs. Goreng let out a sigh. Initially, she didn't want Edward to know about this because she felt guilty. When she decided to leave the Goreng family to pursue her love, she gave up everything related to that family, including the assets. If she were to come back and claim those assets now, wouldn't that be shameless? Mrs. Goreng couldn't bring herself to do that.She didn't have the face to return to her parents, nor did she have the courage to seek their help. This life was her choice. Despite her parents' warnings, she stubbornly followed her desires. Now that she had failed when her parents' warnings had come true, she had no right to seek help, nor did she have the right to complain. She chose to live in silence, no matter how difficult life became.She didn't dare to return to her parents, not even from a distance. She avoided all familiar faces, including Mr. Benson. But now, Mr. Benson had found them, and Edward knew everything. Mrs. Goreng thought that perhaps this was her fa

    Edward formally addressed the matter while discreetly observing Mr. Benson's expressions. Although he knew Mr. Benson was a seasoned fox, everyone, including humans, had their imperfections, and no one could perpetually conceal their vulnerabilities or avoid making mistakes. There would come a time when Mr. Benson slipped up, so Edward wanted to see. But at this moment, he couldn’t discern anything beyond Mr. Benson’s calm demeanor.Surely, Mr. Benson must be interested in seeing what Edward would do.As for Mrs. Goreng, when she heard Edward speak this way, she was quite surprised. She hadn’t expected that while she was unconscious, Mr. Benson had brought Edward to the company and provided him with guidance on taking over. This made her both happy and worried. She was thrilled to be reunited with her son and family after many years. Edward also got back everything that was rightfully his. But she was also worried that with this sudden change, Edward might not adapt well. The business

    Listening to Edward’s words left Mr. Benson extremely astonished; he never expected him to be familiar with these business terms. It took him a moment to regain his composure.In reality, Mr. Benson had prepared himself mentally and verbally to handle all of Edward’s questions. He thought Edward was young and inexperienced, so he could be easily fooled and controlled. However, Edward had genuinely surprised him, causing him to view Edward in a different light.At this point, Mr. Benson was truly at a loss for words.Edward noticed this and smirked while changing his tone of address.“Mr. Benson, after all, we’re both adults now. Let’s act like mature individuals. Don’t resort to childish tactics like that. It’s really not appropriate. In both everyday life and business, there will always be risks. Just remember not to let overspending (1) occur. It’s not a good idea. And right now, what I need is a break-even point (2).”(1) Overspending - Meaning Mr. Benson had deviated from his init

    Edward also didn’t know why he suddenly made such an offer. Humans sometimes act without purpose or reason, guided by intuition that cannot be explained by science.However, the father and son were extremely surprised after hearing Edward’s proposal. They couldn’t believe that a stranger like him would suddenly offer to take them home. To put it bluntly, for someone who had just been scammed like them, this was not something they could trust in the slightest.So, after hearing Edward’s offer, both of them looked at him with a mixture of gratitude and suspicion. Then, the father said, “Thank you for your kindness, but we can’t accept this. If we owe you, I really don’t know how to repay you, and we don’t want to owe anyone else right now.”Edward knew right away that they would refuse, so he had prepared a script for himself.“I understand, but you can’t just sit here forever. Besides, you have your son with you. Right now, you can’t go back to your hometown, and if you continue to sta

    However, Edward hadn’t rushed to draw any conclusions; he wanted to confirm a few more points. So now, Edward opened the intercom on the table and said, “Hernan, I would like some wine. Could you fetch it for me? It’s in the cabinet in the kitchen. I’d like the French Chateau Margaux 1787.”In Edward’s wine cabinets, each type of wine was stored at its appropriate temperature range, with this French wine being kept at 17-21°C. Wine is a premium beverage, and someone who works as a gardener would likely not know how to pour and serve wine.The sound suddenly emanated from the wall speakers, causing Hernan to startle slightly. He then looked around with a perplexed expression, but soon realized what was happening. Hernan regained his composure and replied, “Yes, I understand. I’ll serve you quickly. Should I bring it up to your room, or would you prefer it in the living room?”The question showed professionalism and experience, which not every worker would know to ask, but Edward tried

    Hernan stood there, stunned, as if he couldn’t believe what he had just heard. When he realized what had just happened, his eyes welled up with astonishment, disbelief, and emotion.“You... you...” Hernan couldn’t find the words, and he rushed toward Edward, then knelt down.“Thank you. I really don’t know how to repay you in the future. You’re truly a savior in our lives,” he said with tears in his eyes.The sudden outpouring of emotion and enthusiasm briefly took aback Edward, but he quickly regained his composure and helped Hernan to his feet. He gently replied, “It’s nothing. I just saw a bit of myself in you guys, so I did my best.”“You’ve helped us immensely, and I don’t know how to repay you. I’ll definitely remain loyal to you with my life,” Hernan said.Edward heard this and felt a mix of emotions inside, hoping that Hernan was sincere. If not...Putting this aside for now, Edward’s phone rang at that moment, and his ordered food had arrived.Seeing this, Hernan quickly wipe

    Mr. Benson couldn't help but chuckle. Assuming that Edward will be the next president of the corporation, that will certainly be a matter of decades later. Wait until he retreats then Edward can sit there. How could these high-ranking old men agree? They will not allow anyone to touch their economy!“Edward, how do you feel.

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. I don't know if it's because she thinks too much or her son has really changed.Edward returned to the wedding room, Felicia was waiting

    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
