Jayson furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, unable to discern the identity of the person on the other end. "Who are you?" he asked casually, not recognizing the voice.The caller, brimming with anger and wanting to scold Jayson further, choked on his saliva. Fuming with fury, his nostrils flared and his ears seemed to emit smoke.After fifteen seconds of silence from the caller, Jayson grew impatient. "If you have nothing to say, I'll hang up," he threatened.Left with no choice, the caller hurriedly responded, grumbling and dissatisfied. "Jayson, it's me, your Uncle Grey. How can you not recognize my voice? Aren't you happy that the Wade family has embraced you as their own?"Jayson's face darkened, his mood turning even more sombre. In the past, he would have been ecstatic.Jayson had once believed that he had finally found a family to call his own when the Wades publicly declared him as one of their own after his marriage to Elena. He had hoped that he would no longer be mocked for
Jayson sat in stunned silence as the entire Wilson family gathered around him, their presence reminiscent of a gathering of superheroes. The room was filled with tension, and Elena, wearing a dark expression, broke the silence with a rude question."Jayson, what on earth do you think you're doing?" she snapped.Jayson glanced at her, his eyes conveying his disbelief at her question. "I'm eating, obviously," he replied with a hint of irritation. "Is it a crime for me to have a meal?"Elena's words had sparked a flame, and Lucy eagerly fanned it, adding to the already heated atmosphere. "Mom, you have to say something. We can't let Jayson continue like this without consequences. What if we woke up one day and discovered he had sold the mansion?" Lucy's words hung in the air, amplifying the tension.Mrs. Wilson's expression grew even darker, a storm brewing within her. In a fit of rage, she bellowed, "Mark!" The sound of her voice shook the walls, causing Butler Mark, who had been engros
Jayson stood frozen in disbelief as Ella unexpectedly discovered his whereabouts and boldly stormed into the grand Wilson mansion, boldly proclaiming him as her boyfriend. He braced himself for the inevitable fallout, expecting the usual barrage of harsh words and unreasonable demands from the overbearing Wilson family. But to his surprise, a strange silence settled over the mansion, leaving the atmosphere reminiscent of children caught red-handed in mischief, awaiting a looming punishment.Even Elena, notorious for her fierce protectiveness over Jayson and her disdain for any woman who dared to come near him, remained uncharacteristically still, devoid of any threatening gestures or attempts to intervene. The surreal scene unfolding before Jayson made him question if he had somehow slipped into a dreamlike state, causing him to blink his eyes open and shut in bewilderment.Ella, noticing Jayson's hesitance, pouted and adopted a coy demeanour as she playfully addressed him, "Why aren'
Ella couldn't help but chuckle mischievously, her fingers curling in a beckoning gesture, inviting Jayson to lean closer. Yet, Jayson's wariness held him back, causing him to retreat slightly.Amidst her laughter, Ella spoke with a smile, her eyes glinting with curiosity. "There's nothing I can't find out, so tell me, why do you choose to stay in the marriage despite knowing all these things about your wife?"Jayson fell into a contemplative silence. He had been deeply wounded by the woman he once loved in his previous life, and he had vowed not to repeat the mistake of blindly trusting another woman in his second chance at life.With a straight face, Jayson finally replied, "I love my wife."Ella was taken aback, her eyes narrowing as she observed Jayson intently. A chuckle escaped her lips as she murmured, "Interesting."The rest of the journey was filled with a heavy silence as the convoy of cars continued along the paved road for a solid thirty minutes. Finally, they came to a hal
The old man in the white robe's expression turned grave as he fixed his gaze on Jayson's figure."There's something peculiar about this kid's constitution. He may appear to be an ordinary human, but there's an air of uniqueness about his physique," the old man in the robe solemnly remarked.Ella's eyes widened in shock. She turned to the white-robed old man and asked, "You mean you can't see through him?"The old man swiftly shook his head. "No, I can't," he replied.After carefully considering the situation, Ella decided to take Jayson with her. She gently lifted him and placed him inside her luxurious car, while her entourage prepared to depart from Jin's mansion.As soon as the car passed through the mansion's gates, an astonishing transformation occurred, and the entire estate morphed into a towering mountain.Ella drove to the Wilson's mansion and personally accompanied Jayson inside. Mrs. Wilson was the only one awake; all her children had retired to bed early in preparation for
Boss Tee was on the verge of being deceived by Jayson, but he quickly regained his composure and let out an angry laugh. "Kid, there's no need to play pretend with me. You won't leave here unharmed," he sneered with a cold demeanour.Jayson, however, remained calm as he replied, "Take a good look at my face, sir. I am not the person you're searching for." Despite his outward composure, his heart was racing. Boss Tee's henchmen, towering men over six feet with intimidating muscular builds and massive hands, sent shivers of fear down his spine.Boss Tee furrowed his brows and scrutinized Jayson's face, momentarily taken aback by what he saw. In that moment, he realized that Jayson was indeed not the person he was after. "You're right," he muttered, still lost in thought. "Look, I am not the person you are looking for; I will take my leave; my grandfather and my brothers are all waiting for me," Jayson hastily excused himself, quickening his pace as he walked away.Lost in contemplation,
Jayson stormed out of the ward in anger, slamming the door shut behind him. As he left, a gleeful expression appeared on Wade's family members' faces. They exchanged looks of satisfaction and erupted into a joyous celebration.Benny, however, wore a gloomy expression as he watched the scene unfold. He couldn't help but voice his doubt. "Grandpa, are you sure he truly belongs with us? He seems so easily deceived. We, on the other hand, are different."Old Wade's face turned cold, and he sneered dismissively. "How can that bastard, born of that woman, be considered one of us? He's merely a tool for us to exploit the wealth of the Wilson family.""Benny, listen to your grandfather. While it may be shameful to publicly acknowledge such trash as a part of our family, there are undeniable benefits to keeping him around," Grey interjected, addressing his first son with a stern tone. He couldn't afford to lose a lucrative source of income like Jayson anytime soon.Benny nodded solemnly and re
As Jayson drove back to the Wilson family mansion, his stomach growled, reminding him that he hadn't eaten since he woke up at noon. Spotting a restaurant along the road, he pulled over and decided to grab a meal in the public section, not wanting to go through the hassle of booking a private dining area.Entering the restaurant, Jayson patiently waited to be served. Just then, two brothers entered, accompanied by a group of bodyguards. One of the brothers noticed Jayson and his expression turned sour."Gilbert, what's wrong?" his older brother asked cautiously, noticing his reaction."Big brother, that's the guy. He's the one who attacked me and insulted our family. He even had the audacity to mock us, comparing our entire family to a fart in Jade City," Gilbert exaggerated, recounting the things Jayson had supposedly said.As expected, his older brother, young master Jake's, face turned cold. No one wouldn't be angry if someone disrespected his family, especially a well-known trash
