Carl gaped at what Tony said, as did Patrick.

Tony was still holding his cell phone. His eyes were fixed on Patrick, exuding high confidence.

Frowning, Patrick took out his cell phone and checked what was on the screen.

The wrinkles on his forehead increased. He found an incoming notification about the two billion dollar transaction that Tony mentioned.

Patrick opened his m-banking to confirm whether the transaction had occurred or not.

And apparently, it did happen. Two billion dollars. Such an amount of money just went into his bank account!

Observing the changes in Patrick's expression, Carl, who had been filled with a bad feeling, became increasingly uncomfortable.

“What's wrong, Mr. Patrick?” he asked, taking two steps forward while looking at Patrick seriously.

Patrick turned to Carl, was silent for a moment, then answered, "Tony just transferred two billion dollars as he promised earlier."

Boom!

Carl's eyes widened. Then he looked at Tony. Disbelief was clear on his face. Is it

    “Don't worry, Mr. Patrick. He just fainted," said Tony, turning briefly to Patrick who looked panicked.Patrick sighed. He had been worried that Tony had gone too far. If there was a murder in this bar, he would be done for."Later when he wakes up, he will immediately leave our bar. You agree, right?” Tony asked, looking at Patrick.“Oh, yeah. I agree. His attitude was outrageous. He crossed the line,” Patrick responded.“It's good if you agree. Now, let's talk about what I need to do in this bar.”Tony said that while sitting in the empty chair in front of Patrick's desk. With a curious expression, Patrick sat back in his chair.Tony explained what he had in his mind. He requested Patrick to keep his identity as the bar owner a secret from all bar employees, without exception.And he asked that his duties as a bar security guard not take up too much of his time and energy, because he had other things he had to take care of outside the bar.“Regarding my working hours, for example, w

    Josephine frowned. Conspire? She wondered what was on Bobby's mind.“How is it, Josephine? Are you in?” Bobby asked."Oh, yes. Of course. I'm in. But, what exactly do you want me to do?” Josephine asked back.“It's like this. I want you to admit to your family that that bastard Tony has been abusing you. You can arrange it so that there is evidence that points to it. Later, if you need anything from me, just let me know. I will ask someone to make a fake audio recording to support your accusations.”“Ah, that…”"Why? Do you mind?”"Ah, no. I don't mind. But, you can really help me prepare the convincing evidence?”"Don't worry. Leave it to me. I have a lot of money. There's nothing I can't do. Hahaha…"Josephine smiled dryly. Bobby really liked showing off his wealth. But that's okay. For her, it wasn't a problem. The important thing was that Bobby really helped her prepare the evidence."Okay. Then we agree, right? Let me know if there's anything else you need. Once we get rid of tha

    Tony looked at his mother-in-law in confusion. He got kicked out? Seriously?“I didn't do anything, Mom. Why was I suddenly kicked out like this?” Tony protested."Shut up, bastard! Don't act like you are innocent! Do you think I would trust you more than my own daughter, huh?”“But, Mom, I really didn't do anything to Josephine.”Krang!!Sasha threw a melamine flower vase at Tony. The vase hit Tony's chest because Tony didn't dodge an inch.“I don't want to hear anything more from you! Now hurry up, pack your things and get out of my house! I don't want to see a lecherous man like you in this house!" shouted Sasha.Tony looked at his mother-in-law with his chest heaving. He had been scolded by Sasha so many times, but this was the first time he felt this hurt.Harassing Josephine? Seriously! He had never even had contact with his sister-in-law.“What are you waiting for? Just pack your goddamn things and leave!” Sasha snapped him again.Tony glanced at Jade who had just finished wash

    Tony was currently in Snap's room.Snap leaned against the wall, panting. There was still a little blood flowing from his nose."Now, tell me everything you know about Bobby's evil plan. I'm sure you're now smart enough to know what you have to do."Tony said that as he crouched down, glaring at Snap.Snap looked back at Tony. Earlier, he dared to challenge Tony. But now, he knew that it was a bad decision.In just a few seconds, Tony had battered him this bad.His face was full of bruises. It was very difficult for him to get up.Slowly, Snap nodded. "I'll explain everything," he said.Tony smiled while squinting slightly. "Smart kid," he said.And Snap began to explain everything he knew about Bobby's evil plan regarding the fake audio recording.Tony listened to him with full concentration. Occasionally, his face turned serious and his hands clenched into fists. And when Snap's presentation was finished, he nodded and stood up."I see. So, he thought he could get rid of me that eas

  • THE GREAT GENERAL   Punished Bobby Severely

    Bobby couldn't move, no matter how much he wanted to. Tony's gaze made his body stiffen. The aura radiating from Tony was so oppressive that Bobby had difficulty breathing for a moment. Tony entered the elevator and pressed the 'close' button. He knew which floor Bobby's apartment unit was on, so he pressed the number that would take them to that floor. Beads of sweat covered Bobby's face. With difficulty, he breathed in and out and moved his fingers. When they reached their destination floor and the elevator door opened, Tony put his palm on Bobby's shoulder, saying, "Take me to your apartment unit." That's when Bobby could move his body again. Tony pushed him until they got out of the elevator. However, feelings of threat and the shadow of death still haunt Bobby. He didn't even dare turn his head to look at Tony, worried that what he would see was a scary grin that would make him stiffen again. Bobby took Tony into his apartment unit. A luxurious apartment unit with a classic

  • THE GREAT GENERAL   Jade's Shocking Move

    "What do you mean, Mom? Isn't it clear that Tony is actually innocent?" Jade protested, looking at her mother in surprise. Tony was just as surprised as Jade. Hadn't Snap explained everything to his mother-in-law earlier? "You did believe what that stranger said to us, Jade? I didn't. And I don't. I trust Josephine more. She's my own daughter," Sasha replied sarcastically. Jade's jaw dropped. He couldn't believe his mother said that. The evidence shown by the young man earlier was very clear. The audio recording was fake. Tony never abused Josephine. "Now, go away! I don't want you to set foot in my house again! If you want to take your things, let Jade get them. Don't you dare to come into my house!" said Sasha. "Mom! You're going too far!" Jade protested again. "Shut up, Jade. I'm doing this for you. You deserve a husband who is at your level or even above you. It's time for you to throw away this trash!" Sasha insisted. Tony looked at his mother-in-law while squinting. This o

  • THE GREAT GENERAL   Commotion At The Bar Entrance

    Around half past seven, Tony arrived at the Wild Deer bar. He went straight into the employee locker room specifically for security guards.According to Patrick's words last night, tonight he will still pretend to be a security guard. But, before starting work, he would first meet Patrick in his room.Tony knocked on Patrick's door ten minutes later. As if he knew who was coming, Patrick asked the door knocker to come in.“Tony, finally you're here. Let me introduce Evelyn. She is my lawyer," said Patrick, pointing to a woman who was there."Nice to meet you. I'm Evelyn," said the woman, nodding respectfully.The woman wore a blazer that covered her sleeveless dress. From the way she dressed, she was clearly the type of woman who paid a lot of attention to her appearance.And just now, when she introduced himself, Tony realized that Evelyn's gaze was not so friendly.Evelyn must have doubted Tony because his appearance was in stark contrast to his status as the co-owner of the bar.An

  • THE GREAT GENERAL   Josephine Was In Danger

    “What the hell are you doing, Tony? Let go of James' hand!" exclaimed Josephine.Rose and the other man were stunned. Jay, although still standing where he was, was now looking at Tony tensely, ready to do something if Tony went too far.Luckily, that didn't happen. Tony released his grip on James' hand. James took two steps back and held his bruised wrist.“You bastard! How dare a security guard like you do this to me! Watch out! You will suffer the consequences!” James snapped.Tony stared back at James coldly. Dealing with an arrogant young guy like James was easy for him. But, right now, he should strongly suppress the urge that he felt."Are you okay, James?" Josephine asked, approaching James."Ah, it's okay..." replied James, although earlier he was wincing in pain. Even now, he still couldn't get rid of the pain from his face.“What the hell are you doing, Tony? These are my friends. They came with me. Now get out of our way. I'm a regular customer of this bar!” Josephine said

  • The Truth

    Jade looked into Tony's eyes and smiled. Her chest felt warm. This warmth undoubtedly came from the united support of her husband and his family. She had never felt this happy before."Okay. We'll live here," she said, still smiling.Tony's eyes sparkled, and his smile widened. Jade felt her chest grow even warmer."In that case, let's move in tonight. We'll bring our clothes and belongings from the house. What do you think? Or are you too tired after a full day at work? I can handle it tomorrow. Just give me a list of what needs to be brought," Tony said.Jade shook her head. "Tonight is fine. I'm not too tired. Just a little hungry," she replied."Ah, then let's eat first. I'll cook something for you. Do you two want to join us for dinner, Dad, Josephine?" Tony glanced at his father-in-law and sister-in-law."What are you planning to cook, Tony?" Josephine asked. "I'm a bit hungry too."Tony opened the fridge and checked its contents. He nodded and told Josephine what he could whip

  • Just The Two of Us

    Tony led Jade to his apartment. Jade was confused, but when they entered the apartment complex, she was floored, having never been to this notoriously luxurious and upscale apartment complex before. Tony, however, seemed perfectly at ease in the environment.They stopped in front of the entrance to one of the units. Tony took out his access card and opened the door, further bewildering Jade. In her mind, she tried to guess what he was trying to show her.“Come in, Jade,” Tony said.Jade stepped into the apartment, but questioned, “What’s this, Tony?”Tony didn’t rush his answer. He first closed the door and locked it. Then he stretched both of his arms wide and said, “Starting today, we’ll live here. I think it’s the perfect time for us to physically distance ourselves from your family. Besides, Grandma doesn’t consider you her granddaughter anymore, right?”He finished his words with a smile. Jade didn’t smile back. She was still confused, struggling to process her current situat

  • Thank You, Dad

    At the PLS Group headquarters, just after lunch break...Jade had just returned to her office. Before she could even sit down, her phone rang. She frowned when she saw who was calling."Hello, Dad?"[Jade, why didn’t you tell me about something this important?]Jade froze for a moment, unsure what Josh was referring to."About what, Dad?"[About this insane bet between you and your mom.]Jade’s eyes widened slightly. Now she knew where this conversation was headed."Did Grandma call you, Dad?"[She came to the office to discuss it with me. You have no idea how shocked I was when I heard she’s planning to remove your name from the family registry.]Jade went silent again. She tried to imagine the conversation between her father and grandmother. A question popped into her mind: how had her father responded to Grandma’s complaint?[You’re crazy, Jade. You’re crazy for risking something this big. Do you no longer want to be part of the Robertson family, huh?]Jade sighed. Honestly, she wa

  • Tell Me The Truth, Tony

    Two nurses assisted the doctor as he examined Michelle. His face was a mask of bewilderment. He had treated Michelle when she was rushed to the emergency room, and he was certain - based on his medical knowledge - that she should still be in a coma for months, even years. Now, she was awake and seemingly fine. Her heart rate and blood pressure were normal. The only thing amiss was the faint paleness of her complexion.To be sure of Michelle’s condition, he performed the examination three times. The two nurses who were assisting him exchanged glances, just as baffled as the doctor. In fact, everyone in the room was confused, except Tony.Tony stood with his back against the wall, to the right of the doorway. His arms were folded across his chest, and his head was slightly bowed, but his eyes were fixed on the patient's bed.“This is a miracle. The patient has truly overcome the critical phase. I’m not sure exactly what happened while she was in a coma, but she’s basically recovered.

  • You're Very Demanding, Aren't You?

    The next morning, Tony secretly followed Jade to the PLS Group headquarters. Making sure his wife didn’t realize she was being tailed, he pulled into the parking lot reserved for the directors and executives. As soon as he parked, he called Hayley.[Good morning, Mr. Tony. Is there anything I can do for you?]"Hayley, can we talk for a bit? I’m on my way to your office now.”[Of course sir. Is there anything you want me to prepare?]“No, I just want to discuss a few things with you concerning my wife’s first few days at the company. I'll explain the details when I arrive in your office.”[Of course, sir. Understood.]Tony ended the call. He was now standing in front of the automatic doors of the lobby.When the doors opened, the receptionist realized the man about to enter was the company’s owner. She immediately stood up and bowed her head in deference.“I’m going to the CEO’s office. Don’t tell anyone, especially my wife, " Tony said.The receptionist nodded. Tony didn’t n

  • My Decision Won't Change

    Tony and Jade, who were close to the bedroom door, stopped walking and turned their bodies 45 degrees, turning to look at Tiffany with confused faces."What do you mean, Grandma?" Tony asked, raising one eyebrow."I said you can't leave until I tell you my decision," Tiffany replied."What other decision is there? Isn't it clear?"Tony turned his body until he was fully facing Tiffany. Jade did the same as her husband."Starting tomorrow, Jade will be working at PLS Group and holding a strategic position. She proved to you that she can handle your challenge. And she has told you that she rejects your offer and request to help manage your family business. Up to this point, everything should be clear, right?"Tony said it in a slightly raised and arrogant tone. His facial expression and gaze showed that he was quite annoyed.Tiffany glanced at Tony for a moment, then turned her eyes back to Jade and asked, "Are you sure about this decision, Jade? Are you sure you want to rebel like this

  • I Win The Bet

    Tiffany was in her room, sitting in her wheelchair facing the window.The window curtains were pulled back halfway, making sunlight from outside enter her room, some of it hitting her face.It was clear that Tiffany was seriously thinking about something.Knock! Knock!"They are here, Madam," said Catherine, her loyal maid, from outside the room."Bring them in," said Tiffany.The bedroom door was opened and pushed inward, and Catherine entered followed by Jade and then Tony. Slowly, Tiffany turned her head and turned her wheelchair. Catherine quickly approached Tiffany and helped her so that she and her wheelchair were now fully facing Jade.Jade was currently wearing an office suit that made her look stunning in Tiffany's eyes. A knee-length cream-colored skirt, a tight white inner combined with a blazer that was also cream-colored. Jade's glasses, as well as her hair, which was mostly tied in a ponytail at the back, made her look intelligent."Grandma," Jade greeted, nodding.Tiffa

  • Jade's Mixed Feeling

    Jade stepped out of Hayley's office with mixed feelings. On the one hand, she felt a satisfying joy at finding herself now working at a giant company like PLS Group, holding a strategic position. On the other hand, she was worried, this sudden good thing felt like the beginning of bad things that would come to her later.After all, wasn't this illogical? Was she really recruited by Hayley to be the head of a new division at PLS Group that handles web novels? Wasn't she just having a beautiful dream right now?Those feelings and thoughts were still circling her as she descended in the elevator. After the elevator arrived on the ground floor and the door opened, she paused for two seconds before finally stepping out. It felt like part of her consciousness was wandering off somewhere.In the lobby, near the reception desk, Jade saw Tony. Her husband seemed to be waiting for her. Immediately, she quickened her pace, approaching Tony."How was it? Everything good?" Tony asked casually, rai

    The next day, at Vermaen Hospital..."Are you ready?" Tony asked, having just entered Josephine's hospital room."Just a minute. I'll have a drink first," Jade replied, taking her tumbler from the bedside table and gulping it down."Where are you two going anyway?" Josephine asked; in the patient's bed, she was sitting with her back leaning against the headboard, playing a game on her phone."Watch out, don't drag my daughter into trouble again!" Sasha said sharply.Tony smirked slightly, saying, "You guys can relax. Today, I'm going to take Jade to a good place. Later this afternoon when she sees you again here, you'll hear good news from her directly."Jade had finished drinking and was now closing her tumbler. She glanced at Tony with the corner of her eye. Her face was full of questions."Well, whatever it is, be careful. You know what I mean, Tony?" Josephine said.Tony didn't answer, just raised one eyebrow."Alright, let's go. It's getting late. Don't let us be late," Jade said
