Jayson faced the young man, his expression unreadable, as the young man took a step closer. Just then, a commanding shout pierced the air, causing everyone to turn their attention towards the source. However, the swarm of bodyguards obstructed the view, concealing the person who had spoken.In an instant, the bodyguards were sent sprawling in all directions, revealing Ella standing tall. Two elderly men in white robes stood behind her, emanating an air of power and authority.A dark cloud crossed Mr. Jake's face. He had only intended to retrieve Jayson; he didn't expect Jayson to have so many people ready to cause trouble, which made him very unhappy."Miss," Mr. Jake addressed Ella icily, his eyes filled with rage, "this matter does not concern you. If you apologize, withdraw, and leave, I shall forgive your attack on my men."Mrs. Wilson paled in terror, trembling as her lips quivered. She had never imagined that Mr. Jake would provoke Ella, whom the matriarch of the Wilson family h
Jayson's eyes hardened, refusing to accept the notion of becoming the mentor to a spineless coward like Boss Tee. As a man of courage, he only sought out individuals who possessed similar bravery. With this conviction, Jayson regarded Boss Tee with contempt. His deepest disdain was reserved for those who preyed upon the weak and cowered before the strong."Stand up," Jayson drawled, his voice barely above a whisper.Boss Tee and his remaining henchmen snapped to attention, rising swiftly and casting their gazes downward, resembling chastised children before their father."I have no interest in nurturing trash like you," Jayson stated indifferently, his tone frigid. His cold, menacing gaze penetrated them."If you wish to leave, each of you must pay two million dollars. There are fifteen of you, so for a total of thirty million dollars, you may be on your way," he declared, his voice devoid of any warmth.Boss Tee's lips twitched at the corners as he quickly calculated the numbers. He
Jayson lay on the bed, his face filled with sadness as he contemplated the idea of giving up on storming the ancestral family mansion to seek revenge after divorcing Elena tomorrow.The Old Taoist Fairy was taken aback by Jayson's sudden change of heart. "Brat, you've changed your mind just like that," he remarked, surprised that Jayson seemed unfazed by the possibility of being deceived.Jayson responded with a mischievous grin, "There's no need to be so obvious about it." He settled into the bed, his mood shifting.Curiosity sparked within him, and he turned to the Old Taoist Fairy, asking, "You didn't come here just to warn me about the ancestral Wilson mansion, did you?"The Old Taoist Fairy nodded, pleased with Jayson's perceptiveness. "Brat, you've grown wiser from your association with your grandpa Taoist. This time, he has a good news to share with you."Jayson's eyes lit up with joy, and the dizziness that had clouded his mind dissipated instantly, replaced by a newfound clar
As Jayson heard the annoyance in Lucy's voice through the phone's speaker, he instantly recalled that he had instructed Elena to meet him at the City Centre to finalize their divorce proceedings."Apologies, Lucy. I'm currently stuck in heavy traffic," Jayson quickly responded, conjuring up an excuse, and promptly ended the call before Lucy could launch into another round of berating him.Turning his attention to Sleepy Grandmaster, who was already snoring while remaining upright, Jayson realized he had no other choice but to address Jao. "You two should head to the villa. I've already arranged for the home service to clean it up. You guys go ahead, and I'll join you both later.""Understood, boss," Jao replied with a wide smile. He wanted to remind Jayson about hiring a cook, but before he could utter a word, Jayson had already turned and left."I'll make sure to remind the boss when he returns," Jao muttered to himself. He couldn't help but feel relieved that they weren't heading ba
"You talk too much nonsense; just tell the counsellor that you want a divorce. If you're not tired of seeing me, I am tired of seeing you," Jayson retorted angrily."Please lower your voices; you're in my office. It's clear that both of you are acting out of rage. Can you take a day to reflect and perhaps come to a mutual decision?" The counsellor quickly intervened, trying to stop Jayson and Elena from arguing."No!" Jayson and Elena snapped simultaneously, glaring at each other.The counsellor observed their expressions, shook her head, and wrote a note before handing it to Jayson and Elena."I can see that you two can't live with each other. Go ahead and file for divorce with the clerk," the counsellor said with resignation.Elena snatched the note from the counsellor before Jayson could grab it and stormed out of the counsellor's office, consumed by rage.Jayson expressed his sincere gratitude to the counsellor, relieved that she hadn't made any drastic decisions regarding his dis
Jayson took a cautious step back, feeling the pressure of Ella's proximity. Ella let out a laugh, amused by Jayson's expression."Wouldn't you like to give me a farewell kiss?" Ella asked in a seductive tone, batting her innocent, dreamy eyes.Just then, the two robed men who always accompanied Ella emerged, and one of them interrupted, "Holy Maiden, it is not appropriate for you to become intimate with him."Ella rolled her eyes, glanced at Jayson, and said, "Don't pay attention to their nonsense. Come and kiss me."Jayson shook his head and replied, "We should heed their advice."Ella chuckled and rolled her eyes, commenting, "How dull."One of the robed men guarding Ella spoke up, "Holy Maiden, the portal is open. We should depart now."Reluctantly, Ella looked at Jayson and suggested, "Should I take care of the Wilson family or leave one of them behind to protect you? The Wilson family won't let go of you after the humiliation you caused them."Jayson was taken aback by Ella's off
As soon as Daniel's eyes landed on Jayson, he hurried over, putting on an ostentatious display. However, a frown creased Jayson's face as Daniel blocked his path. With a contingent of bodyguards trailing behind Daniel, Jayson couldn't simply ignore them and walk past."Hey, Trashy Jay, how's it going?" Daniel smirked, his nose in the air, trying to exude an air of superiority.Jayson remained silent, meeting Daniel's gaze. Undeterred, Daniel continued, "You've never experienced the thrill of having a squad of powerful bodyguards following your every move. Do you know who provided them? My brother-in-law..."Daniel paused, his expression exaggerated, before erupting into laughter. "Oh, but I wasn't talking about you. Not at all. You were nothing but a disappointment when you were part of my family. Thankfully, my sister had the sense to divorce a trash like you."After thoroughly ridiculing Jayson to his satisfaction, he took a confident stride, exuding an imposing presence. "What an e
Gabby's expression twisted with an intense, deadly resolve. A bodyguard from his entourage took a step forward and respectfully addressed him, "Boss.""You know what needs to be done. I won't tolerate that Trash's existence any longer. He's a blight, a hindrance to our plans," Gabby uttered, his voice dripping with icy malice.The bodyguard nodded, acknowledging his instructions. With a lowered head, he affirmed, "I understand, Boss."Without further delay, the bodyguard pivoted on his heel and departed, fully intent on carrying out Gabby's chilling command.****As Jayson returned to his villa, a wave of shock washed over him as he discovered that all the lights surrounding the property had mysteriously gone out. The once inviting home now appeared eerie and haunted from every angle, sending a chill down his spine. Furrowing his eyebrows, he couldn't help but wonder what on earth was going on.Without wasting any time, Jayson reached for his phone and activated the torchlight. Illumi
