Jayson fell silent, his mind consumed with the Old Taoist Fairy's words. He didn't want to confront the guardians and risk getting hurt, so he decided to take a more restrained approach. "I will choose to be the bigger person and spare them for now. Since you've pleaded on their behalf, I won't go over there and cause trouble. After all, they are protecting my wife's grandmother," Jayson declared, attempting to sound righteous, although deep down he knew he lacked the strength to take on the guardians.The Old Taoist Fairy regarded Jayson with disdain, disappointed by his lack of courage. "You're a pathetic disappointment, Brat. I had hoped you would have the guts to go and confirm what I told you."Letting out a sigh, the Old Taoist fairy continued, "If I had known you would back down so easily, I wouldn't have revealed the truth to you. But now I'm curious, How did you come into possession of a spiritual stone?"Confused, Jayson stared at the Old Taoist Fairy, his expression one of
20 million dollars?Jayson suppressed a chuckle. His relatives were notorious for their insatiable appetites when it came to money. They had concocted a scheme to pretend to be patients in a hospital, hoping to strike it rich. But Jayson had other plans; he wanted to drain their bank accounts by making them pay exorbitant hospital bills instead of making them millionaires."Uncle Grey, I'll discuss the urgency of the situation with Elena. I'll hang up now," Jayson said, ending the call abruptly.A few minutes later, a maid entered the room and informed Jayson, "Jayson, Mrs. Wilson wishes to see you in the living room.""Alright, let's go," Jayson replied, assuming it had something to do with Daniel.As Jayson entered the living room, he was surprised to find only Mrs. Wilson and her children present.Once the maid had brought Jayson, Mrs. Wilson dismissed her, saying, "You may leave now."The maid bowed and quickly exited the room."Please have a seat, Jayson. We need to discuss an im
As they watched in astonishment, Mrs. Wilson and her children couldn't believe their eyes. Jayson had transformed into a formidable force, displaying unprecedented power. The question echoed in their minds: When had he become so commanding and fierce?The bodyguard took a step back, allowing the shock of the footage to sink in. Even after the playback had ended, Mrs. Wilson and her children remained in a daze, struggling to grasp the reality before them. Elena, in particular, blinked repeatedly, questioning the authenticity of what she had witnessed."Mr. Jake, are you absolutely certain this hasn't been manipulated? It just seems too unbelievable," Mrs. Wilson voiced her disbelief, her face etched with incredulity."Mrs. Wilson, I assure you that the CCTV footage is genuine. If you wish, we can conduct tests to validate its authenticity," Mr. Jake responded calmly. He had anticipated Mrs. Wilson's doubt and was prepared to address her concerns.His gaze shifted around, eventually set
Jayson reclined on the bed, pulling the duvet over himself, and closed his eyes. Elena watched him in silence, her thoughts swirling. Eventually, she let out a sigh and quietly left the room. Making her way to her mother's bedroom, she found Mrs. Wilson pacing anxiously."Any luck? Did he agree?" Mrs. Wilson asked eagerly as soon as Elena entered the room.Elena shook her head with a sense of resignation before replying, "Mom, Jayson had no intention of conceding to our demands. I doubt he'll even show up for the baby shower tomorrow."Mrs. Wilson's face fell, her disappointment evident. After a moment of contemplation, a glimmer of hope crossed her eyes. "His grandfather, Jayson, always listens to that old man. Whatever he says, Jayson will follow."Elena's eyes briefly brightened, but then a shadow of doubt crossed her face. "Mom, you humiliated them and drove them away from the company this morning. Are you sure they'll agree to our demands?""Of course they will; those relatives o
Jayson found himself taken aback as Old Wade pulled him over to a chair and motioned for him to sit down. It was clear that his grandfather and relatives were unusually energetic, and he couldn't help but wonder how much money Mrs. Wilson had given them to elicit such a response.Without missing a beat, Old Wade barked at his grandchildren, "What are you all waiting for? Why aren't you properly welcoming the hero of our family?"Jayson's lips twitched at the unexpected title. He realized that money truly had a way of working wonders."Jayson, welcome home," Old Wade's grandchildren chorused one after another.Grey stepped forward, his voice dripping with flattery. "Jayson, all the food is for you. Shall I serve the dish? Do you need any assistance?"Jayson sat there in a daze, not one to turn down a good meal. He began to serve himself, savouring each bite until he was pleasantly stuffed. When he finally finished eating, Old Wade cautiously inquired, "Would you like more? Should I ask
From the phone's speaker, Mrs. Wilson's voice could be heard, "Old Wade, you will only receive the balance tonight if everything goes smoothly."Old Wade felt the urge to complain, but Bridget abruptly ended the call. The beeping sound only added to Old Wade's unhappiness, casting a gloomy shadow over his face."Grandpa, what did she say? Are we getting the balance now?" Grey cautiously inquired."Not yet. That stingy woman insists on giving us the balance only after the baby shower ceremony tonight," Old Wade replied angrily, clearly displeased with the arrangement."We can wait, Grandpa. After all, we already have 15 million dollars. It's worth waiting a few more hours for the additional 5 million," Grey suggested, trying to find a silver lining.Old Wade nodded. Despite his frustration, the entire Wade family embraced a sense of joy as they made their way back to the mansion, engaging in lively discussions about how to invest the money into their factory.******As Jayson drove bac
Jayson would have been extremely naive if he had blindly accepted anything Elena said, considering how she had thoroughly deceived him in his past life. He turned around, casting a cold, disdainful glance at Elena, and spoke with a sneer, "Elena, do you honestly believe I'm foolish enough to accept your nonsensical words? Do you think I'm that gullible? I know exactly who the real father of your unborn child is."Elena's eyes widened, and her mouth hung open in shock at Jayson's revelation. She was unable to recover from her astonishment for several seconds. Shaking his head, Jayson made his way into the bathroom. After taking a shower to wash away the sweat from his earlier encounter with the thugs, he emerged to find that Elena had already left.Approaching his closet, Jayson noticed the suit she had purchased for him. He decided to change into it, admiring his reflection in the mirror. "This looks great," he sincerely commended himself. However, a sudden thought crossed his mind,
When Jayson laid eyes on Hay Wilson, a subtle twitch appeared at the corners of his lips. The sudden release of Hay Wilson by the York family caught him off guard. It was a testament to the remarkable skills of the matriarch of the Wilson family in handling delicate inter-family affairs.The Wilson Matriarch, true to her reputation, had gone above and beyond to salvage the situation, demonstrating her loyalty to the core family. Jayson couldn't help but admire her."How does it feel, Jay, seeing me here?" Hay Wilson exclaimed, stretching his arms wide with a broad smile on his face.Jayson shook his head, his expression unfazed. He had anticipated this turn of events all along. A slight twitch formed at the corners of Hay Wilson's lips."Since you've resigned from your position as a janitor at the York family mall, make sure your next job isn't even lower on the totem pole," Jayson replied, a smile lingering on his lips.Jayson reminded Hay Wilson of the humiliation he had endured at
