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
"Grandpa, my wife is still getting ready; she'll be joining us soon," Jayson responded. Old Wade appeared slightly disappointed, but he didn't voice his discontent.Just then, Mrs. Wilson entered the room. As the matriarch of the Wilson family made her appearance, Jayson couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.The moment Old Wade's eyes fell upon the Wilson family matriarch, they lit up with joy. He eagerly approached her and said with adoration, "Madame Wilson, what a delightful surprise! I've been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to meet you in person. I've heard so much about you. Now I can depart this world content."The Wilson matriarch's face wrinkled with confusion as she gazed at Old Wade. She couldn't recognize him at all. Turning to Elena's mother, she inquired, "Bridget, who might this elderly gentleman be?"Old Wade blushed with embarrassment; he hadn't anticipated that the Wilson family matriarch wouldn't recognize him at all."He is Old Wade, Jayson's grandfather," Bri
His hopes of impressing the matriarch of the Wilson family were quickly dashed, leaving him feeling disheartened."Old Wade, you don't seem very happy. Are you disappointed?" Mrs. Wilson asked, her smile revealing her knowledge of Old Wade's insatiable greed.With a nod, Old Wade admitted, "Mrs. Wilson, it appears that the matriarch of your family doesn't take us, the Wades, seriously. Is this how you treat your in-laws?"Mrs. Wilson's expression darkened, and she scolded Old Wade without hesitation. "Old Wade, you have an immense appetite. The Wilson matriarch is not someone that a humble family like the Wades can hope to associate with. I suggest you abandon any thoughts you may have in that regard."Though unhappy about being scolded by someone younger, Old Wade suppressed his dissatisfaction and forced a cracked smile. "Mrs. Wilson, you are correct. What about the money? Has it been prepared?""The funds are already prepared. Have you spoken to Jayson?" Mrs. Wilson inquired.Old W
Elena's anxiety consumed her, driving her to desperately reach for the microphone in Jayson's hand. Her pleas tumbled out nervously, "Jayson, you can't do this."Her tear-filled eyes pleaded with him, but Jayson swiftly pulled the microphone out of her reach. He turned to face Elena, his response cutting and cold, "Yes, Elena, I can. Don't you want everyone to recognize what an incredible wife you are? Are you ashamed of your actions?"Elena's complexion drained of colour as tears streamed down her face. The pain in her heart was palpable.Unfazed by her anguish, Jayson shifted his attention to the assembled guests. His expression remained stern as he uttered the words, "I am not the father of Elena's unborn child."The guests erupted in disbelief, and Old Wade, his white goatee trembling with anger, thundered, "Nonsense!" Overcome with fury, he lunged forward.Reacting swiftly, Old Wade snatched a nearby microphone and raised his voice, commanding attention. "Everyone, disregard the
The Wilson matriarch wore an impassive expression as she responded calmly, "Do not harm his face; we need it for the live stream.""I won't target his face," Hay Wilson eagerly agreed, stepping forward. He stared at Jayson with a cold gaze.With his hands clasped behind his back, he approached Jayson with an arrogant demeanour and spoke condescendingly, "Bow before me and apologize; I shall only strike you twice."The corners of Jayson's lips twitched. Had Hay Wilson lost his sanity after joining the Eagle Sect? Jayson couldn't help but wonder.Seconds passed, yet Jayson didn't flinch. He stood there, regarding Hay Wilson as if he were a fool.Hay Wilson seethed with anger at Jayson's indifference and roared furiously, "Since you refuse to heed my words, I shall thrash you!"Hay Wilson clenched his fist and launched a punch. His strike carried a gust of wind, but Jayson swiftly evaded it.Wilson's eyes widened in astonishment. Despite lacking any cultivation achievements, he had dilig
Jayson wasn't too surprised because his former self wasn't accepted into the Wade family the moment the Wilson kicked him out; the Wades turned their backs on him immediately.The words from Old Wade left the Wilson family members in a state of shock. Mrs. Wilson's anger surged through her, causing her to tremble as she confronted him. "You despicable old man, do you even realize what you're saying? How dare you claim that Jayson isn't your grandson?"Old Wade stood his ground, his voice filled with resignation. "I speak the truth; Jayson is not a part of the Wade family," he insisted, letting out a rueful sigh.Mrs. Wilson's fury intensified, and she roared with anger, "Are you trying to deceive me? Are you hoping that I won't harm Jayson by threatening your life? You have gravely underestimated me. Bring him out of that cell immediately!"The guard promptly opened the cell door and escorted Old Wade out. As Old Wade emerged from the cell, fear gripped his entire body, causing him to
