THE GREAT GENERAL Something Happened To Jade?
Michelle sped down the nearly empty highway, overtaking car after car. She was lucky no traffic cops were around to witness her dangerous driving.“That sleazy playboy! How dare you claim to be single when you're already married! You're disgusting, Tony!” Michelle fumed.Her mood had soured ever since that woman in black told her that Tony was already married. She figured Tony pretended to be single in front of Patrick, which explained why her father wanted to set her up with him.Now, she was genuinely furious. Her attempt to calm down at the beach had been pointless. All she could think about now was making that playboy Tony suffer.Honk! Honk!Michelle honked at the car in front of her for not moving aside despite its slow pace.Once the car moved over, Michelle floored the gas pedal, passing and leaving that car behind.Michelle's mind raced with thoughts of her plan to make Tony suffer. She bet on that mysterious woman in black. The woman had offered to provide her with sensitive
THE GREAT GENERAL The Cunning Claire
Claire was lounging at a coffee shop not far from Vermaen Hospital.On the second floor, at a small square table by the window, she sat alone. The chair opposite her was empty. She had her elbows propped up on the table.Steam rose from the cup of coffee in Claire's hand. She preferred hot coffee over iced. She inhaled its rich aroma deeply, closing her eyes.As Claire sipped her coffee, a special notification sound chimed from her phone.It signaled that the hidden camera she had secretly installed in Jade's hospital room had captured something. She quickly checked her phone, tapping the notification, and the surveillance footage appeared on her phone screen.Claire frowned. She set down her coffee cup. The screen showed someone entering Jade's room. It didn't take long for her to recognize that he was Tony.A sly smile spread across her face. She plugged her earphones into her phone and listened to the audio the camera had recorded.[Jade, are you okay?]She heard Tony's voice. He w
THE GREAT GENERAL Short on Clues
“Jade, tell me what Claire said to you. I’m sure it’s just a misunderstanding,” Tony said.Jade was still sobbing. Tony gently touched her shaking shoulder.Seeing Jade’s intense reaction, Tony grew more certain that Claire had said something terrible to her. He could guess that it was about him.Tony gritted his teeth. He was furious with Claire’s behavior. Next time they met, he’d make sure she faced the consequences.But that was for later. Right now, he needed to calm Jade down and clear up this misunderstanding.“Come on, Jade, don’t cry like this. Look at me. Look deep into my eyes and you’ll know that whatever Claire might have said about me is wrong,” Tony said.Jade continued to sob, but soon her shoulders stopped shaking. Her sobs began to quiet.“Calm down, Jade. No matter what happens, I’ll always be by your side. I’ll always protect you. That’s my promise to you,” Tony said.Slowly, Jade, now starting to calm down, turned to look at Tony. Her cheeks were wet, her eyes red
THE GREAT GENERAL Michelle's Hidden Plan
“Where are we going?” Tony asked again.Michelle didn’t answer immediately. She kept her eyes on the road, both hands gripping the steering wheel.The night was quiet. Michelle’s car glided smoothly down the highway.“What kind of food do you like? Do you have any food allergies?” Michelle asked instead.Tony turned to her with a frown. “No, I don’t. Why? Are you treating me to dinner?”Tony’s words were more of a sarcastic jab. He didn’t expect Michelle to actually mean it.“In that case, let’s go to a French restaurant. There’s a pretty famous one around here,” Michelle said.While still driving, Michelle opened the map app on her phone, which was mounted on a holder on the dashboard. She typed in the name of the French restaurant she had in mind, and soon the map filled the screen.“Yep. Less than two kilometers from here,” Michelle said, letting the app guide her.Tony kept watching Michelle with a frown. Was she really planning to treat him to dinner?“What’s going on? Are you in
THE GREAT GENERAL Everything Going According To Plan?
"He's unconscious. You can take him now," Michelle said into the phone.Someone on the other end spoke, and Michelle hung up. She glanced at Tony with a mocking expression, thinking everything was going according to plan.The French restaurant had been privately booked by Michelle; that’s why there were no other customers there, especially in the VIP room on the second floor.The waiter who had served them was part of the plan. He had laced Tony's wine glass with a potent, clear salve, applied thinly but in a very strong dose.The waiter approached again, this time with two big, menacing men. The person Michelle had called was the waiter."Take him to the car. Make sure to tie him up first. We don't know how strong his resistance is," Michelle ordered."Yes, ma'am," the waiter replied.With a signal from the waiter, the two big men handled Tony as Michelle had instructed. They used plastic cuffs, stronger than metal ones, to bind his hands. Together, they carried Tony out of the resta
THE GREAT GENERAL Unexpected Move
"You’re awake already? That fast?"Claire's question startled the big men who were undressing Tony. They immediately turned their eyes to Tony’s face.Tony stared back at them with a haughty look. He didn’t seem worried at all, even though his hands and feet were tied to the table."Impressive! You’re really something, Tony. You’re making me want to enjoy your body even more," said Claire.Tony looked at her again. She had just taken off her black bra. Now her round boobs were fully exposed, bouncing as she moved."What did you just say? Enjoy my body? So this is all for that? That’s your goal for planning all this?" asked Tony."So what if it is?" Claire responded, smiling arrogantly. Wearing only her underwear, she walked towards Tony, intentionally swaying her hips to make Tony notice how sexy and alluring she was.But Tony looked at her strangely. He couldn’t believe she would nearly strip naked in front of the big men there. Was Claire used to this kind of thing? Was she an exhi
THE GREAT GENERAL Was Tony Even Human?
Claire stared at Tony with wide eyes. This was beyond her plan. She had never imagined the situation would turn out like this.Meanwhile, Tony smiled and gave Claire a mocking look. He now climbed onto the table and sat on Claire's stomach just as she had done to him earlier. His hands gripped Claire's arms tightly.Claire tried to resist but she was overpowered. She couldn't even lift her body slightly."Let me go! Let me g—"Smack!Tony released Claire's left arm, but only because he had to slap her.Claire's gaze now shifted to her right. Her left cheek reddened from the slap."You’re so fickle. You said you enjoyed BDSM, but now that you're the object, you're asking me to let you go?" Tony taunted.What he said was true. Claire had so far only enjoyed BDSM activities when she was the subject. She relished the moments when her partners groaned or screamed in pain because of her actions. But not the other way around.Slowly, Claire directed her gaze forward, finding Tony's infuriati
THE GREAT GENERAL Tony's Long, Loud Laugh
Across from Vermaen Hospital, a car came to a stop.The front window rolled down, revealing a woman with a beautiful face and narrow eyes. She gazed at the hospital's entrance with an unreadable expression."Is this where Tony's wife is being treated?" she muttered to herself.Alone in the car, she received no answer. She redirected her eyes to the sprawling hospital building.Unfortunately, it was already late at night. If she insisted on entering the hospital, the guards would bombard her with questions about her relationship with the patient. That would be so troublesome for her.Yeah, that woman was Michelle. After leaving the warehouse where Tony had been tied to a table, she initially intended to go home, but her mood was too foul, so she decided to stop by the branch bar instead.In the bar's back smoking room, she drank and smoked alone, hoping it would improve her mood, but it didn't help.The images of Tony lying unconscious on the warehouse table kept flashing through her m

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
