Edward sat in the classroom, his eyes fixed on the lecturer at the front. Because of some recent personal matters, he had missed quite a few classes lately.

“Pay attention, everyone. The topic I’m discussing is the essence of economics. Economics and politics are always interlinked, influencing each other,” the lecturer continued.

Professor Ellve was one individual Edward held in the highest regard. He wasn’t only the most experienced professor at the university, but his knowledge and teaching style were also exceptional. Every lecture by Professor Ellve was always packed with students. On some days, even Edward struggled to find a seat.

“In my opinion, studying economics only in the classroom is never enough. The textbooks can only offer you a tip of the iceberg. Without real-world experiences, you can never truly grasp its essence. Once you understand its nature and principles, you can become a genuine leader. Reality will provide you with opportunities, and your job is to recognize

    Edward studied straight through until the afternoon. When he finished, it was already five o’clock, which was the time Cipher finished school.Edward got into his car and drove straight to Brighton College. He waited outside the school gate for a while until Cipher and Matt finally emerged. Just like the previous times, the two kids walked out together, with Cipher pushing Matt into his wheelchair.“Look, is that your big brother?” Matt said, pointing at Edward. He had seen Edward twice before, and the car Edward was driving quite impressed him.Cipher followed Matt’s pointing finger and recognized the person in front.“Yes, he’s my big brother,” Cipher replied happily. Riding with Edward was far more exciting than taking the school bus back home.Edward smiled at Cipher and Matt, then quickly approached both of them.“Hello, how was school today? Having fun?” Edward cheerfully asked.“We had a great time,” the two children replied in unison.“That’s good, then. Have you two eaten yet

    Edward said goodbye to Matt, then he and Cipher headed home.The evening passed quickly, and the next day, Edward went to school as usual. He had two economics classes that day, and he also wanted to visit the school library to find some specialized materials.The classes went by swiftly, and Edward later made his way to the library. He couldn’t help but admire the grandeur of the library at his school; it seemed to have all the materials he needed.Edward roamed the library, looking for some economics books by Professor Ellve and some natural science resources. He wanted to study them thoroughly, partly because they would be beneficial for his work at the company, and partly because Edward aimed to graduate early, and to do so, he needed to excel in his studies.Edward flipped through the pages of the documents. He had to admit that Professor Ellve was incredibly talented. His writings were practical, easy to understand, and delved deep into the essence of the subjects rather than ju

    Felicia’s appearance left Edward and Janet equally astonished. Edward couldn’t fathom why Felicia had come looking for him, as there were no prior arrangements between them. But upon reflection, he realized it might not be a bad thing, as Felicia’s presence might help him get rid of Janet. Furthermore, Felicia had overheard some insincere words of affection he had spoken earlier. All in all, it seemed like there could be benefits to this situation.Without saying a word, Felicia approached Edward. Though her eyes couldn’t see, her ability to determine position and direction was impressive.“Hello, you must be Janet,” Felicia said as she draped her arm around Edward.Edward cooperated, gently taking Felicia’s hand and putting it in his coat pocket. The scene before Janet’s eyes was rather irritating. Though she no longer had any romantic feelings for Edward, she couldn’t accept his closeness to another woman.“So? I am Janet. What do you want?” Janet replied sharply.“Oh, nothing at al

    At Sherwood’s home, Mrs. Sherwood paced anxiously into the room. Since their time at the hospital, she had not seen her husband. He had not returned home but checked into a hotel. Every time she visited the company looking for him, he refused to meet her. She also noticed that the company’s employees had treated her with disdain. As the saying goes, dogs can always sense their master’s intentions. They too had sensed that her marriage with Mr. Sherwood was on the rocks.“Damn it, it’s all that scoundrel’s fault!” Mrs. Sherwood gritted her teeth.She didn’t know what she had done to this mysterious person, and she didn’t even know his name. So why would he want to harm her? On that day, he deliberately acted in front of Mr. Sherwood, turning her into an unfaithful woman. The money she had prepared as bait for Jasper had been falsely claimed to be the amount she gave to her lover. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.She pulled out her phone from her pocket and started

    Janet, despite the astonishment of all the hospital staff, dragged Ms. Sherwood away. As for Ms. Sherwood, she hadn’t yet realized what was happening when she found herself in the hospital parking lot. She did not know who the person in front of her was and why they were so physically strong.“Who the hell are you?” Ms. Sherwood yanked her hand back, her voice loud, clearly showing that she didn’t know the person in front of her.Hearing Ms. Sherwood’s words, Janet turned back and met her piercing gaze. Of course, she wasn’t one to back down; how could she allow herself to be insulted this way?“Who are you talking to? Who are you calling a bitch?” Janet raised her voice and continued to gesture aggressively towards Ms. Sherwood. Even if the person in front of her wanted to fight, she wasn’t backing down.“I don’t even know you, and I’m dragged out here like this. What is it you’re up to?” The more Ms. Sherwood thought about it, the angrier she got. She was trying to resolve her own i

    Mrs. Sherwood looked Janet up and down, and for some reason, she found her extremely untrustworthy. Apart from the fact that Janet had no apparent reason to pull her away from the reception area, her age alone raised suspicions. What could a young woman in her early twenties possibly accomplish? If it was about money, Mrs. Sherwood’s family was well off. In terms of cunning and strategy, she was no pushover either. Therefore, Mrs. Sherwood saw no reason to collaborate with the young woman in front of her. In her eyes, Janet had no chance at all; she was only a madwoman.“So, have you thought this through? We’re going to collaborate, right?” Janet confidently extended her hand, expecting Mrs. Sherwood to reciprocate. Despite their shared aim, Janet didn’t hesitate to speak her mind. She wasn’t afraid of Mrs. Sherwood, and even if they crossed paths in the future, what difference would it make? Mrs. Sherwood wasn’t a concern for her. Janet saw this conversation as a blessing for Mrs. Sh

    Mrs. Sherwood followed Janet to a room on the 8th floor. She looked up and saw the room number just as Janet had mentioned: Room 802.“Are you also planning to jump from the fifth floor?” Mrs. Sherwood taunted. How could she believe that Mrs. Goreng would be in this VIP room? She needed to understand that staying in this room was at no small expense.Janet had no interest in arguing with her. They were here, and arguing further would just be a waste of time.“If you want to know if I’m telling the truth or not, just open the door and see for yourself,” Janet suggested.Facing Janet’s proposal, Mrs. Sherwood hesitated for a moment. Not that she was afraid of facing Mrs. Goreng again. In the battle eleven years ago, she had already won, and Mr. Sherwood was now entirely hers. What she was afraid of was that the person inside was not Mrs. Goreng, but someone else. This was a VIP room, and those who could stay here were certainly not ordinary people; they were both wealthy and influential

    Listening to Mrs. Sherwood’s words, Janet felt like she had a foot in the door of a prestigious family. She thought that even if things didn’t work out between her and Edward, she would still benefit. She used to think that Edward’s family was just his mother, and if he had a father, he was probably just a regular working man. However, when she arrived at the hospital today, she unexpectedly learned that Edward was the wealthy heir. His father owned a large company with significant capital. Edward didn’t seem to mind Janet’s family background; instead, Janet inferred that the reason Edward’s family didn’t accept them was because Edward himself refused to do so. The more Janet thought about it, the more she considered Edward to be foolish. He had good fortune within his grasp, yet he didn’t realize it. If she were in his place, she would have dutifully fulfilled her obligations to her own family, particularly the Sherwood family.Thinking about how she and Edward had been together for

    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!

    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
