THE GREAT GENERAL Dinner and Temptation
"Have a seat. Let's eat first. I hope you enjoy the meal I've prepared," Charlotte said."You prepared all this? Did you cook it yourself?" Tony asked."That's right. Quite impressive, isn't it?" Charlotte replied, winking and giving a slight smile.Tony didn't respond, just observing everything on the well-decorated dining table.Charlotte pulled out a chair for him to sit on, gesturing for Tony to pull out his own chair.With a puzzled expression, Tony did exactly as Charlotte did. When their eyes met, his aunt's age woman gave him a meaningful thin smile."Let's eat while the meat is still warm," Charlotte said.Before them were slices of smoked beef emitting an appetizing aroma.Tony happened to be quite hungry, so his stomach responded—rumbling."Help yourself. Or shall I serve you?" Charlotte asked."No need," Tony replied, helping himself to the slices of smoked beef onto the empty plate in front of him.As he did so, he noticed Charlotte making a movement that slightly opened
THE GREAT GENERAL Turned The Tables
"You want me to do something first before we continue?""Yes.""What is it?"Tony lowered his head, bringing his lips close to Charlotte's white, fragrant neck, then kissed it.The sound of the kiss was like hypnotic music to Charlotte, causing her to close her eyes and let her mouth hang open.She wasn't sure what Tony had in mind, but she was ready if he wanted to engage in something intense."Bend over. Put both of your hands on the table," Tony instructed.Charlotte opened her eyes. She heard Tony's words clearly. Assuming it was part of the game Tony desired, she did as he asked, smiling slyly.Now in a bent-over position with her hands on the table's edge, her dark turquoise green bra slipped off, allowing her boobs to hang freely.As Charlotte felt Tony's touch on her back, she sighed. She closed her eyes and sighed.In her mind, she imagined Tony's hand moving down to touch her boobs, squeezing them.Just imagining it made her bite her lower lip. It had been a while since she
THE GREAT GENERAL David's Arrogance
At the Robertson family residence...People gathered in one of the largest rooms there.David—along with his wife and son—stood proudly beside Tiffany, smiling and waving to family members who applauded enthusiastically for him."Thank you. Thank you," David said, lowering his hand and nodding.He appeared to relish the warm welcome from his extended family, whom he had left years ago.Tiffany, as the leader of the Robertson family, had just praised him before them all.She referred to David as a man born to be a star who would make the Robertson family business empire shine brightly again, much like when it was led by Peter, her late husband.Of course, not everyone present was pleased with the lavish reception given to David.Esther was among those who viewed it as excessive.And she was also resentful because, in her eyes, David had been elevated by Tiffany while she had been sidelined.Until that moment, she remained the CEO of Robertson Group, but she no longer received respect f
THE GREAT GENERAL Bold Accusation
"Ugh! This useless trash is showing up again!""Why does he have to show up? I thought he would have some self-awareness not to be on the same level as us, so why is he here?""He's fucking ruining my mood!""What did he just say? Is he challenging David in front of all of us?""He's gone mad! His brain must be rotting, he can't think straight anymore.""Look at the way he walks and stares at us. His behavior is as if he owns the place.""Disgusting!""Why doesn't this trash just disappear from this world?"Those were the comments swirling around the room. They were from the same people who had been mocking Josh earlier.Tony remained unfazed. He gave them a scornful look and a slight smirk."Josh, what does this mean? What other nonsense is your worthless son-in-law up to now?"Tiffany spoke, her gaze judgmental as she looked at Josh. Clearly, she wasn't pleased with Tony's sudden appearance that disrupted the atmosphere.Josh, also taken aback by Tony's actions, uncomfortably return
THE GREAT GENERAL David's Lies Debunked
The people in the room exchanged looks, wondering what Tony's purpose was in playing an audio recording in a language they didn't understand."What kind of joke is this?""Is this trash playing games with us?""Shouldn't we just drag him out?""Yeah, he deserves it!""Then what are we waiting for? Let's do it now!"Those siding with David, fed up with Tony's antics, began to move forward to pull Tony out of the room.However, their steps were immediately halted when Tiffany's voice boomed out, "Be quiet!!!!"Assisted by Christine, who pushed her wheelchair, Tiffany made her way towards David and Tony.Her eyes focused on the phone in Tony's hand, playing the audio recording for the second time."What does this mean, Tony? Didn't I ask you to explain your accusations clearly?" Tiffany said, glaring at Tony."This is the evidence that Uncle David requested, Grandma," Tony replied casually. "Try to listen to it by yourself, Grandma. I'm sure you'll understand what I mean."With a judgmen
THE GREAT GENERAL Lombard's Move
Everyone in the room was shocked by what David did, and they were even more shocked by what happened to him.It was clear that David was the one who attacked Tony, but now, what they saw was David losing his balance and falling over.And not only that, David had just screamed loudly as if he were in great pain.But David's reaction was not exaggerated. Just after deflecting David's swift punch, Tony twisted David's arm until there was a worrying 'crack' sound.That sound indicated that David had suffered a dislocated bone in his shoulder.Now, as Tony released David's right hand, people noticed that David's long arm hung limply, almost touching the floor.David himself held his shoulder with his other hand, grimacing with closed eyes. The pain he felt seemed unbearable."There are still a dozen days until we find out who wins the bet we agreed upon a few hours ago. I suggest you go to the hospital immediately and get the best bone doctor in town to treat your shoulder before it's too
THE GREAT GENERAL A Stranger in the Bar
Tony and Jade were in a taxi heading home.The taxi cruised calmly through the quiet night.Outside, it was raining. Just a light drizzle.Jade and Tony held hands while each gazed out the window.Actually, Jade could have gone home with her father and the others. But Tony couldn't join them. Their family car couldn't fit five adults.So Jade decided to take a taxi home, accompanying Tony.Earlier that afternoon, Tony had indeed arrived at the Robertson family residence in a luxury car, but he had already returned it to its owner.That's what Tony told Jade. However, we know the truth: Tony's luxury car was currently in Hayley's hand.There was a reason why Tony and Jade both directed their gaze out the window.Shortly after they got into the taxi, they glanced at each other, freezing for a moment.Both were awkward. Jade's pale cheeks, now tinged with color, emphasized how unprepared she was for the sudden romantic atmosphere enveloping them.They didn't speak but leaned closer toget
THE GREAT GENERAL Two Annoying Women
Tony was taken aback by the unknown woman's actions. What was more surprising was that she didn't just press her lips against his; she also kissed him deeply.Tony felt the drink from the woman's mouth partly enter his mouth."Hey! Stop it!" Tony exclaimed after pulling away from the cat-eyed woman's kiss and distancing himself slightly.The woman stared at Tony. Despite Tony giving her an annoyed look, she smiled and moved in again as before.This time, she directly kissed Tony deeply and played with her tongue.Tony was overwhelmed. It took him a few seconds to break free from this crazy woman."What the heck is this? What do you think you're doing? Are you crazy?" Tony protested.At this point, the bartender observed what the two were doing with a puzzled expression.He had been serving the ponytailed woman for half an hour earlier and was the one who informed her that the man who had just entered the bar was Tony, the man she was looking for.Now the bartender regretted it a bit

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
Something Good
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
