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

    Jasper was a pampered young heir, and therefore, he would not swallow rejection or criticism. He raised his voice at the man, who was still trying to give in, seemingly not wanting to get involved in trouble, but also not wanting to have anything to do with the Sherwood family again.Edward couldn’t help but sigh. How had his beloved father and respected stepmother lived their lives to be so openly looked down upon like this?The man was now furrowing his brow, showing signs of annoyance. He tried to push Jasper away. “Fine, the quickest way to get this over with is for you to find another company or individual to rent a car from. We won’t be associated anymore. It’s that simple. Why do you have to cling to me?”Indeed, everything could end so quickly like this, Edward thought. But for someone like Jasper, the biological son of his beloved father and cherished stepmother, how could he let things end so easily? If it were that simple, nothing would have happened, and Edward wouldn’t be

    “Okay, of course, for us, the customer is like a deity. Whatever you want, you shall have it. No need to worry. Here’s the invoice; please look to see if there are any issues, and then we can proceed with the payment.”Edward glanced at the invoice, and it displayed an incredibly daunting figure. It momentarily sent a shiver down his spine. He couldn’t help but wonder how he would have felt if he had seen such numbers in the past. Would he have been shocked, thinking he’d never get close to them, or would he have found himself when he just wanted to disappear?But now, everything had changed, and it changed so rapidly and abruptly that even he had to adapt to it. Edward silently cursed under his breath, then placed the invoice back on the table.“Alright, no problem at all. We can proceed with the payment right now.”“Yes, sir. Here’s the pen; please sign here first,” Applejack said, pulling out a fountain pen that had been pinned to his chest pocket and handing it to Edward. Edward t

    It was Harry; in retrospect, Jasper and Applejack were the two unexpected variables that had caused Edward’s time to run late. Hence, compared to the appointment time, it was now delayed. Edward replied, “I’m almost there; there’s heavy traffic.”“Oh, no worries, I’ll wait for you at the usual spot, okay?” The ‘usual spot’ Harry mentioned could be the dormitory or the school campus. However, this time, Edward didn’t want that. He had intentionally driven an upscale car to show Harry something. So, meeting at the dormitory or the campus wouldn’t suffice. The goal this time was Harry, not everyone else, so Edward didn’t want to make it too ostentatious.“Let’s meet at the parking lot this time,” he suggested.This suggestion surprised Harry immensely, and he half-jokingly asked, “Did you buy a car?”“That’s right.”“Well, then you have to give me a ride,” Harry teased. He probably thought Edward had bought a motorbike, an electric bicycle, or something similar, never expecting it to be

    Upon hearing Harry’s question, Edward simply chuckled without saying a word. The Sherwood family, ten times wealthier? It was undoubtedly a staggering figure.“Edward, it’s amazing. Everything seems like it’s from a movie.” Harry couldn’t contain his excitement and enthusiasm. His friend, who had to take on multiple jobs to make ends meet, had suddenly become the heir to billions of dollars. Everything had happened in just a few months, and it was truly overwhelming.“Yes, I reacted the same way at first, Harry,” Edward replied.“But today, I invited you here because I have a favor to ask,” Edward continued.“What is it, Edward?” Harry couldn’t help but feel curious. He sensed countless changes in Edward’s demeanor, which had become more composed and thoughtful. Even his gestures and mannerisms differed from before. Faced with the person in front of him, Harry suddenly felt a bit estranged.Edward looked straight into Harry’s eyes, genuinely hesitating. He didn’t know how Harry would

    After dinner, Edward lay sprawled on his enormous bed. It had been a long day, and he was feeling tired. He had intended to get a good night’s sleep when suddenly his phone rang.Who could call at this hour? Edward glanced at his phone screen, and it was an unfamiliar number. He looked at it with an icy indifference, suspecting it might be a telemarketer or a scam. He casually pressed the power button to silence the phone and pulled the eye mask over his eyes, ready to sleep.However, the phone rang again, persistently. Edward raised an eyebrow. Still the same number. He was about to dismiss it and enable the “do not disturb” mode to avoid further interruptions when he hesitated.This type of number didn’t seem like the disposable numbers used by scammers or multi-level marketing schemes. Maybe it was something different. Eventually, he answered it.“Hello,” Edward answered, his tone icy.On the other end of the line, there was a brief pause, as if the caller had hesitated. Then, a so

    Hospital,Emergency Department,VIP Room 1604,Upon receiving the news that Edward was seriously injured and had to be hospitalized, Harry felt as if his soul had been sucked out. Even though he was in class, he couldn’t concentrate on anything. He quickly excused himself from the lecturer and drove to the hospital.Sitting in the car, waiting at red lights, and stuck in traffic, Harry felt restless, as if ants were crawling in a pan. He didn’t know how Edward was doing; his voice had sounded weak earlier.Thinking about this, Harry couldn’t help but feel anxious. He rushed into Edward’s hospital room. He saw a motionless body on the bed wrapped in white bandages with machines making beeping sounds around it.Witnessing that scene, Harry’s legs went weak, and he fought back tears, unable to contain his sorrow as he approached Edward.“Are you... are you okay... oh no, I shouldn’t have asked. Oh, why did this happen? It’s all that scoundrel Jeff’s fault, isn’t it?”Harry was on the ver

    After Mr. Benson left, the entire room fell into silence. Harry discreetly glanced at Edward. Yes, Harry couldn’t believe the swift transformation of his friend. The person in front of him was no longer recognizable as Edward. He had changed so dramatically that Harry couldn’t even recognize him anymore.More cunning, more sinister, and even his demeanor had changed. Just a few months ago, Edward was carefree, sincere, and harmonious with everyone, just like Harry. But now, he couldn’t fathom what was going on in Edward’s mind.His friend was planning to perform in front of everyone, then involve his mother to blackmail Mr. Benson and make him create a fake medical record. After Mr. Benson left, the pleading look in Edward’s eyes disappeared completely, replaced by a calculating gaze.In just a few months, Edward had transformed into a completely different person. If someone were to ask Harry how he felt, it would undoubtedly be a mix of astonishment and fear. Imagine if one day he cr

    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. Goreng Group I will return it to you but first you must show us your ability. First of all, there is still a vacant position of CEO, you just sit there for a while. Wait until you have enough experience and knowledge, this chair will be yours." That's right, if Edward wants to sit here, he has to wait and he doesn't know how long! A kid who's not clean yet wants to fight with him? It's true that I don't know how to measure myself.The scenario in front of Edward had already been calculated. If it were him, he wouldn't let a blind newbie sit in that chair. However, if he had planned it, how could he make a mistake!“Are you sure that President Benson has not made a

    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. 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

    Chapter 163:

    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
