“Get your hands off me!” Mrs. Goreng angrily pushed Janet away. She shouldn’t have trusted her from the beginning.

“You... I can’t believe you’re that kind of person. I praised you and even imagined a future for you and my son. It’s just that this old lady’s vision is clouded,” Mrs. Goreng said, angrily tossing the fruit basket on the table to the ground, scattering the fruits all over the floor. She could never have expected that a deceitful and callous young woman had fooled her. She had truly hoped for better. Everything inside her crumbled so quickly. Just a moment ago, she thought she was preparing to welcome a new member to her family, a beautiful, caring daughter-in-law. But it turned out it was all in her imagination, and the young woman in front of her was nothing more than a deceptive, indifferent person.

Janet stood there as if rooted to the spot, unable to believe that Edward had done this. He did not try to hide the fact that he had been cheated on, and he displayed no se

    Mrs. Goreng looked at Edward, tears streaming down his face, which broke her heart. She couldn’t imagine what her son had gone through during this time, what he had hidden from her, and how many times he had cried. She had believed she was a wonderful mother, but she felt terrible. She realized she knew nothing about her own son, and all the pain he had experienced, he had never shared with her.Mrs. Goreng slowly approached where Edward was sitting, not saying anything. She simply handed her handkerchief to Edward to wipe his tears.Edward accepted the handkerchief from his mother. He wasn’t crying anymore. Janet had been sent away, and there was no need to act anymore. Besides, if he continued to act like he was in pain now, Mrs. Goreng would be very sad, which was not something Edward wanted.“Thank you, Mom, I’m fine,” Edward said, looking at his mother and offering a faint smile.Mrs. Goreng gently caressed her son’s head. She didn’t believe he was fine, and she would no longer b

    At half-past eight in the evening, Edward stood waiting outside Janet’s house. He peered inside and gave a sly smile.“Hello, Janet, I’m here,” Edward gently called her to inform.Janet, on the second floor, looked down, and what met her eyes was a well-dressed young man in a suit, handsome face, holding a bouquet of red roses, next to an expensive sports car. Janet’s heart leaped with joy, as she was about to have a boyfriend who was not only good-looking and rich but also faithful. Thinking about Edward’s future inheritance, Janet couldn’t help but smile, ready to step into a life of luxury. Compared to the Sherwood family’s wealth, Jeff meant nothing!“Alright, I see you. Just wait a moment!” Janet replied excitedly.“Sure, I’ll wait for you.”“I’m coming down now!” After saying that, Janet rushed to grab her bag and put on high heels. She stood in front of the mirror for a while, wearing a seductive low-cut dress, fair skin, and alluring curves. She couldn’t believe any man could

    Upon hearing that, Janet was overjoyed. She believed she had captured Edward’s heart. Once she held Edward’s heart, she wouldn’t have to worry about money for the rest of her life. She would only have to think about indulging in food, shopping, and luxuries. And to top it off, he was so handsome that being seen with him would make her feel ecstatic. In short, there was nothing to complain about.Janet took her phone out of her pocket and was immediately greeted with dozens of missed calls and a series of text messages from Jeff. Janet couldn’t help but feel annoyed. She sighed softly and quickly deleted those messages. Thinking about Jeff now made her deeply regret her choices.“Why did I let go of Edward for a guy like that?” Janet murmured to herself. She moved closer to the window, pulled back the curtains, and began taking pictures of everything around her. She went to every corner of the room, putting her face into every shot. After a while of living in her own fantasy, Janet sat

    Mrs. Sherwood received Edward’s text message, and her blood boiled. Her hand relentlessly scratched the surface of the sofa. The more she thought, the angrier she became. It seemed like nothing had been going smoothly lately. Jasper had just had an accident and received an anonymous text message from someone, not to mention the exorbitant demand for money. Just when she thought everything had been sorted out, someone claimed to be her lover, and to make matters worse, Mr. Sherwood had seen it all. Now, she couldn’t deny it even if she wanted to. Today, when she intended to confront the despicable man, she received a threatening message from him. Although she knew he had someone behind him and was intentionally causing trouble, there was nothing she could do but watch and endure. The more she thought about it, the more her head spun.“Aaaaaa, damn it!” Mrs. Sherwood shouted. It had been several days since she could close her eyes, even for a moment. Mr. Sherwood hadn’t returned home fr

    Just as Mrs. Sherwood didn’t know what to do, the phone rang. She looked at the screen and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it wasn’t Kai’s number. However, her relief was short-lived, as the call was from the doctor treating Jasper. For some reason, her heart raced, as recent events had left her feeling uneasy. The last time the doctor had called was to inform her that Jasper had woken up, which had brought her immense joy. She had frequently visited Jasper, and the doctor had mentioned that his progress was excellent, and he was now only waiting to recover enough to be discharged. This phone call should have brought hope, but for some reason, she only felt anxiety.Mrs. Sherwood cautiously pressed the answer button, and the voice on the other end was both hoarse and rushed.“Are you Jasper’s family?”“Yes,” Mrs. Sherwood nervously replied.“You need to come to Jasper’s room immediately. He just had a medication reaction.”The news hit Mrs. Sherwood like a lightning bolt. She c

  • Rise Towards Supremeacy From A Nobody   Chapter 93: I just sent you some photos.

    Jeff was lying on his phone at home. Ever since he returned from the police station, he had been under his mother’s strict supervision. He was confined to his home, spending his days watching TV and using his phone. Even when he went to school, he was accompanied by someone, not a private driver, but a supervisor appointed by Mrs. Marget. If he arrived home a bit later than scheduled, he would surely have his allowance cut off. Once his family withdrew financial support, he would have nothing left, not a penny to his name.“Mom, this is like being imprisoned!” Jeff mumbled to himself while staring at the screen. When Mrs. Marget bailed him out of the police station, she made him promise not to leave the house during this time, except for attending school. Due to fear, he had agreed, and the result was that he had officially become a prisoner in his own home for nearly a month.“Is it any different from being in jail?” Jeff continued to complain. The more he thought about it, the angri

    “Where do you think you’re going?” Marget glared at Jeff with a stern voice.Jeff noticed his mother’s attitude and involuntarily stepped back. He understood his mother better than anyone else. She did not know joking, and once she was angry, not even his father could escape her wrath. Jeff glanced at Marget and the surrounding bodyguards. If he left now without following through on finding Janet, Marget would cut off all his financial support. On the other hand, if he didn’t find Janet and clarify things, he couldn’t bear it. Just the thought of Janet being affectionate with another man in those photos made Jeff’s blood boil, and this enormous humiliation was something he couldn’t tolerate.“I’m going to find Janet!” Jeff replied without hesitation, ignoring his mother. In his mind, he had to focus on Janet’s matter, and even if his mother tried to block him, he had to go out today.Upon hearing this, Marget lost her temper, and her face turned as red as a freshly picked tomato.

    Janet felt ecstatic. Yesterday it was a necklace, and today its earrings, and their value was not small. These were all prestigious brands that one might not afford.“Edward, is this for me?” Janet gazed at Edward with sparkling eyes.“Yes, I just hope they’re worthy of you,” Edward replied.“How can they not be? I love them!” Janet exclaimed and jumped to kiss Jonas on the cheek.Facing Janet’s intimate gesture, Edward couldn’t help but feel disgusted. Goosebumps ran down his body. He only wished he could push her away far. What kind of girl just flirts with guys she barely knows, especially when she already had a boyfriend? Edward couldn’t help but wonder what Jeff would think if he found out about this. He would probably be furious. His girlfriend is in the hotel with her ex-lover, being so intimate with him. Thinking of Jeff, Edward couldn’t help but expect how he would react to the “gift” he had given. In a way, Edward had to thank him. If it wasn’t for Jeff and Janet pushing the

    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
