In recent days, Edward attended school regularly while keeping a close eye on the Sherwood family’s next moves. On the other side, there had been no disturbances for the past two days. Seeing that he didn’t respond to text messages, Mrs. Sherwood didn’t bother him anymore.

After school, Edward stopped by a supermarket to buy some milk to visit Mrs. Goreng. Seeing Mrs. Goreng’s health improving day by day, he couldn’t help but feel relieved. If things continued this way, Mrs. Goreng’s discharge from the hospital would likely be shortened. Lately, everything seemed to go smoothly for him, and everything was heading in the right direction.

Around seven in the evening, Edward left the hospital and drove home. Sitting in the car with his hands on the steering wheel, as he was about to play some soft music, his phone suddenly rang with an unknown number. At first, he thought it might be a spam call or a call from the Sherwood family, possibly Mr. Sherwood himself, who might have gotten his

    Upon seeing Mrs. Sherwood’s message, Edward wasn’t particularly surprised. Her reaction seemed to be part of his plan. She had been so confident before, and now she was hesitant. If there was any mistake in this, it would be like sending her own son to jail.However, perhaps Mrs. Sherwood had not fully grasped the complexity of the situation, particularly that she didn’t know who the anonymous person was. Maybe she thought that a large sum of money would solve everything. But how could she have imagined that the anonymous person was him – the one she always looked down upon?Perhaps, even in her wildest dreams, Mrs. Sherwood couldn’t imagine this. How could a poor and insignificant person like him have such evidence? How could a weakling like him dare to send anonymous threats to her seven times?The important thing was money, someone whom she didn’t even think had $200,000 for his mother’s surgery, let alone something for Jasper’s debt or to rent a car for Jasper. None of it was poss

    “Edward, do you still remember what you told me last time about my job...” Harry looked at Edward and then turned to Hernan and Cipher with a hesitant look.“I remember,” Edward replied. He had forgotten nothing, but finding a replacement for them wasn’t urgent, so he didn’t want to discuss it with Harry too much. He had never trusted Hernan and Cipher, so replacing them was a matter of time. However, this time, he wasn’t in a hurry. Hernan and Cipher still had value, especially Cipher, who had become a valuable card. If he knew how to use this card, he would surely receive an unexpected reward.“I’ve hired a few more people, and they will work with you,” Jasper told Hernan.“Yes, young master,” Hernan replied without many words. Whether or not they hired more people didn’t affect him much. Moreover, he didn’t have the authority to decide.Edward turned to look at the three people behind Harry. Among them was a woman, somewhat plump, with short curly hair, in her forties or fifties. S

    Cipher simply thought that Edward wanted the best for him, and what Edward said made perfect sense. Thinking so, Cipher nodded without hesitation.“Yes, sir,” Cipher replied.“In the future, at school, don’t call me ‘sir’ anymore. I’ve told everyone that I’m your older brother,” Edward said. He didn’t want to reveal any flaws, however minor they might be.“Okay, big brother,” Cipher replied hesitantly, his eyes showing both shyness and embarrassment.“You go into the classroom; I’ll head back now,” Edward said, and then turned away. He had everything arranged, and there was no need for him to stay here any longer.Cipher was led into the classroom by his homeroom teacher. Just as Edward had instructed, the young boy chose a seat right next to Matt. His first day of school went smoothly.Meanwhile, at the hospital, Felicia came to visit Edward. Felicia still didn’t know about Edward faking his medical condition. She firmly believed that he had been seriously injured in the previous acc

    Mr. Swan was at the company when he received a call from Felicia’s bodyguard. He picked up the phone and quickly answered. Anything related to Felicia was of utmost importance to him. No matter what, she was his well-behaved and understanding daughter, the girl he loved wholeheartedly.“Tell me,” Mr. Swan said casually.“Boss, something has happened to Miss Felicia. She fell down the hospital staircase.”Hearing the report from his subordinate, Mr. Swan left his work behind and immediately drove to the hospital. Felicia was the apple of his eye, and he would allow nothing to harm her. Moreover, Felicia rarely left home on her own, so why had she come to the hospital today?“Oh, right, that guy Edward is there too,” Mr. Swan thought to himself.He had heard about the incident when Jeff had beaten up Edward the last time. It seemed that Edward had been seriously injured and required emergency medical treatment. However, it had been over a week, and those injuries should no longer be a c

    “Father, please calm down and let’s continue this conversation when you’re composed.” Felicia gradually regained her composure. She didn’t want the argument between the two of them to continue, especially with so many people around. Continuing would affect Mr. Swan’s reputation and her own.Unaware of Felicia’s intentions, Mr. Swan thought she wanted to dismiss him and this added fuel to the fire. He couldn’t maintain any composure or rationality anymore. His own daughter was now arguing with him in front of outsiders, which he absolutely couldn’t accept.“Do you want to kick me out?” Mr. Swan erupted, and unconsciously, his way of addressing her changed. This was the first time in his life he called Felicia “you.” However, he didn’t care about that; his sole concern now was Felicia’s disrespectful behavior. She had changed.“No, I don’t,” Felicia replied, lowering her tone of voice. She had grown tired of arguing with Mr. Swan.“You’re becoming more and more like your sister, arguing

    Edward drove to Cipher’s school, parked outside, and quietly observed everything.About five minutes later, the clock chimed again, signaling 5:50 PM, the time when school was dismissed. Edward paid attention to each child in the group, finally spotting Cipher and Matt coming out. The two boys were among the last to leave the classroom. Internally, Edward couldn’t help but feel pleased when he saw Matt and Cipher walking together. The relationship between the two kids wasn’t too bad; everything seemed to progress well.But in an instant, Edward’s thoughts were shattered. Matt and Cipher only walked together for a short distance, after which Matt separated from Cipher and hurriedly joined his close friends, paying no attention to Cipher. Their interaction had been merely coincidental. Seeing this scene before him, Edward couldn’t help but ponder. He knew he had to do something.Cipher was also surprised to see Edward’s car. He hadn’t expected Edward to personally come to pick him up. W

    In the morning, Edward woke up, opened the curtains, and looked outside. The weather today was beautiful, with gentle sunshine and a clear blue sky.“Today’s weather is really nice,” Edward couldn’t help but exclaim.If he were just an ordinary carefree student, he would undoubtedly have a wonderful day out with friends. However, he couldn’t afford to be carefree. He had too much to do, and he didn’t want to lead a dull life, relying on his parents for money like others. He had to be an Edward who stood above the rest, someone nobody could underestimate. He would reclaim everything that belonged to him soon.Having said that, Edward quickly got dressed. He slowly buttoned up each button on his shirt. At this moment, his phone rang, just as he had guessed; it was McKay’s number.“I’ve investigated what you asked for. Matt doesn’t have many hobbies. The only thing he’s really passionate about is plants; he’s loved exploring them since he was a child. As for things he dislikes or fears,

    At the same time, at the Sherwood household.Mrs. Sherwood paced back and forth in the room, her face pale. She had received a message from an anonymous person. He demanded a substantial amount of money. Just considering the amount Jasper owed him, Mrs. Sherwood was already in a tight spot. She had borrowed money everywhere and pawned all her precious jewelry to come up with that much. But not that simple; he was greedy and wanted an additional $200,000. Adding it all up, it was certainly no less than a million dollars, and she couldn’t fathom where to find that kind of money now.The more she thought, the more frightened she became. If she didn’t give him the money, her son would end up in jail. But if she did, where would the money come from?She had considered telling her husband about this at one point, but quickly abandoned that idea. If Mr. Sherwood found out everything, the consequences would be even more severe. Jasper, his dear son, has been causing trouble by racing reckless

    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.

    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

    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
