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
Jayson was taken aback by the meatball's overwhelming self-conceit. He couldn't believe that someone could be so dismissive of his words and actions. As this realization sank in, a heavy cloud seemed to settle over Jayson's face, his expression growing increasingly gloomy."Listen here, meatball," Jayson snapped, his anger seething. "I couldn't care less about you or your so-called meatball family. I've made myself perfectly clear: I won't sell my properties to you. So just get lost."Ken Anderson, on the other hand, remained calm and composed. He seemed unaffected by Jayson's outburst, treating it as nothing more than a tantrum that would lead to nothing.Ignoring the meatball, Jayson turned to Mr. Sun and said, "Let's go."Mr. Sun promptly stood up, ready to leave. But just as they reached the door, it swung open with force, revealing three imposing figures dressed in black robes. The air around them seemed to vibrate with a palpable sense of danger and malice.In an unusual manner,
Jayson spun around, intending to glare at the Old Taoist Fairy, only to find that he had vanished without a trace. Frustrated, Jayson let out a disgruntled sigh and quickly dialled for an ambulance to transport Jao and the Sleepy Grandmaster to the hospital. Within minutes, a police car pulled up, and the district's sheriff stepped out.As the sheriff surveyed the extensive damage, his face contorted with disbelief. "What on earth happened here?" he inquired, his frown deepening. The level of destruction surpassed anything he had imagined.Jayson, wearing an expression of anger, pointed towards the wreckage. "The Wilson family did this to my villa because I divorced their daughter," he replied, his voice seething with resentment.Observing Jayson's furious demeanour, the sheriff decided against voicing his initial thoughts. Instead, he suggested, "You'll need to come to the police station and provide a formal statement. It will greatly assist us in our investigation."Jayson's express
Gabby Willow grew increasingly uneasy as he caught sight of two or three mocking expressions on the faces of his business rivals. He whispered unhappily to Elena, "Elena, please put on a smile. We're not in mourning here." "I can't force a smile," Elena retorted coldly, her voice barely audible. Gabby felt his anger mounting, but he suppressed it, resolving to address the issue with Elena after they were married. The couple proceeded towards the chairs arranged for them, while all the guests rose to their feet, showering them with applause as they graciously bowed and took their seats. Suddenly, the courtyard was engulfed in the deafening sound of car engines. The noise thundered through the entire Wilson mansion. Mrs. Wilson's face darkened. She had been eagerly anticipating Jayson's arrival, but the trash she despised had not yet made his appearance. "Please go outside and see what's happening," Mrs. Wilson instructed Butler Mark, who nodded and quickly exited the bouquet hall.
The matriarch of the Wilsons was seething with anger, her gaze locked onto Jayson, her fury rendering her speechless. Jayson, however, seemed undeterred by the intensity of her emotions."Grandma, there's no need to be upset. I wasn't lying about the dire financial situation the Wilson family is in. If they weren't desperately poor, would they have resorted to selling their own daughter?" Jayson taunted, a sly smile playing on his lips.Elena's face paled with shame. She had held onto the hope that Jayson would forgive her and that their relationship could be salvaged. But his final statement shattered that hope, leaving her feeling utterly defeated."Jayson!" Daniel roared, his anger boiling over. He stepped forward, his expression one of intense rage.Jayson merely regarded him with disdain, as if he were nothing more than a clown, and sneered, "Ah, there's my brother-in-law, the biggest coward in Jade City."Mrs. Wilson, tortured by Jayson's taunts, felt as though a knife had been
The Wilson family matriarch's threat to destroy Nissan Corporation sent shockwaves through the guests, leaving powerful guests visibly unsettled. Frowns appeared on their faces as they processed the gravity of her words.However, Jayson's reaction was quite different. He chuckled dismissively, not taking the threat seriously at all. To him, it seemed like nothing more than an empty bluff. "Hehehe, Grandma, you should choose your words more carefully. Many people here benefit greatly from Nissan Corporation. Not only does the company hold a fifty percent stake in Jade City's largest firms, but it also invests a staggering 200 million dollars in these businesses yearly. While the Wilson family may not fully understand the value of money, your guests certainly do," Jayson remarked, sporting a confident smile.The weight of Jayson's words hit the Wilson family matriarch like a ton of bricks. She looked around, suddenly feeling isolated. The realization dawned on her that if she were to fo
Elena found herself oblivious to her own mental and emotional state, blindsided by Gabby Willow's abrupt decision to sever ties with her family as soon as he sensed a threat from Jayson. It was a harsh awakening for her to realize that Gabby's love had been a facade all along, a ploy to safeguard his wealth. He had been using her, and his sudden suggestion of marriage coinciding with Hay Wilson's inclusion in the Eagle Sect was nothing more than a guarantee for his undisturbed dominance of his wealth in Jade City.With a heavy heart, Elena gazed up at the sky, overwhelmed by melancholy. After considerable contemplation, she pulled out her phone and dialled Jayson's number.Jayson's mind was consumed with deep thoughts when his phone suddenly began to ring. Glancing at the screen, he saw the caller's name and quickly retracted his gaze, letting out a rueful sigh.While Nissan Corporation remained free from any immediate threats, Jayson couldn't help but acknowledge that nobody would da
Old Anderson, the patriarch of the Saint family, was the first to step forward, accompanied by his son, both renowned pillars of Jade City's pugilistic world. They were joined by nearly a hundred cultivators from various families, forming a formidable ring around Jayson.Despite the presence of the Wilson family guardians, Jayson found satisfaction in knowing that none of the aristocratic families' businesses had been spared. "Trashy Jay, there's nowhere for you to run. Surrender to us and spare yourself a slow and painful death," Julius taunted with a smirk. This day had been long awaited since Jayson had thwarted his chance to ascend the immortal world and had taken Ella from him, Jayson became his heart demon and the person he wanted to kill in the world the most."I'll remember you; your death will come first," Jayson replied, his smile unwavering. Julius was taken aback as he gazed at Jayson, who remained remarkably composed despite the fact that all the influential figures of J
Standing at the top of the office building, Jayson sneered, "Is it time for the other families?" before vanishing from sight.Throughout that fateful night, the entirety of the Wilson family's business empire went up in flames, with warehouses and factories alike reduced to ashes.The news of this catastrophic event dominated headlines, seizing the front pages of newspapers and flooding the airwaves, as live updates of the widespread devastation were broadcast on television.Observing the news coverage, Mrs. Wilson felt no sympathy for her estranged relatives. They had long ago cast her and her family aside when they divided the family's wealth among themselves."Mom, this is terrible; all our family's businesses are gone," Elena remarked, her face drained of colour.Seething with anger, Mrs. Wilson retorted, "What do you mean 'our family business'? The Wilson family's enterprises have nothing to do with us after they divided the family assets and refused to share even a fraction with
Jayson observed with anticipation as the lawyer revealed the outcome of the DNA test. "Based on the evidence presented, it is clear that Gabby Willow is not the biological father of Peter."A slight twitch at the corner of Jayson's lips betrayed his lack of surprise at the revelation. He had suspected that Elena might manipulate the DNA test, knowing all too well the lengths to which she would go to deny Gabby Willow any claim to fatherhood."Nonsense! I refuse to believe it! Peter is my son, and this DNA result is a sham! I won't accept it!" Gabby Willow's voice thundered through the courtroom, his rage palpable."Silence!" the judge commanded as Gabby Willow struggled to contain his fury, wanting to lunge forward but held back by others in the room. The judge proceeded to deliver the final verdict.As the court proceedings came to a close, a look of shock and disbelief washed over Gabby Willow's face. It felt as if he were trapped in a nightmare from which he desperately wished to a
Old Wade stood to the side as Gilbert tried to contact other family members and grandchildren. Unfortunately, they were all magically unreachable or had their phones turned off."Old man, it seems I've wasted enough time on you two; I should be getting rid of you now," the gang boss said, pointing his gun at Old Wade and edging his finger toward the trigger."I'll give you 1% of my shares in the company," Old Wade suddenly offered.The gang boss's expression soured as he scoffed, "1%? Do you think I'm a fool?""3%," Old Wade blurted out in a flustered manner, his fear of death evident."Not bad, old man; you're good at handling a crisis," the gang boss remarked before standing up and leaving the father and son locked in the room.Looking at his father, Gilbert said unhappily, "Dad, you shouldn't have given him 3% of the company shares. Now we're left with only 15%, and our monthly dividends will decrease by 3%."Old Wade let out a disdainful huff and snorted. "Why should I continue to
Facing the menacing presence of a notorious killer, the father and son stood frozen, unable to muster the courage to lie. With a tense expression, Old Wade locked eyes with Gilbert before reluctantly admitting, "We intended to purchase the property, but the asking price is simply too steep. Our purpose in coming here was to negotiate a more reasonable sum."The gang boss regarded the duo with a smirk before scoffing, "The Wade family holds an 18% stake in one of the largest group globally, not to mention the wealthiest company in the country. Even for a shareholder with such substantial holdings, fifty million dollars shouldn't pose a significant obstacle, right?"Old Wade's eyes widened in disbelief, while Gilbert's complexion grew noticeably ashen. Old Wade responded with a hint of dissatisfaction, "We were under the impression that you were prepared to offer the property to us for thirty million dollars. Why the sudden increase to fifty million?"The gang boss lounged back in his c
As Gilbert drove them to the meeting location provided by the buyer, Old Wade couldn't contain his frustration. "Who does he think he is, making such an unreasonable demand? When we get there, I'll give him a piece of my mind. What a thief," he grumbled."Dad, please try to stay calm. We don't know who we're dealing with here," Gilbert urged, worried that his father might escalate the situation. They had an ongoing court case with the Wilson family that required a cash settlement, and their company's monthly dividends wouldn't be enough to cover additional troubles."Why are you so afraid? Sometimes I wonder if I'm even your father. When I was your age, I wasn't afraid of trouble; trouble was afraid of me," Old Wade scolded Gilbert relentlessly.Gilbert remained silent and declined to offer any further comments. Instead, he focused all his attention on driving while his father continued to criticize him as they made their way. Upon arrival, Gilbert hastily parked the car in a nearby s
After Jayson left the court, he headed over to Wade's side to check on their progress. When he caught up with the father-and-son duo, they had already been to more than twenty housing agents in the city, all of whom had refused to entertain their request for a house.Old Wade was seething with anger, clenching his teeth in frustration. "All we asked for was refunds for damaged houses, and they've all ganged up against us. Do they think the Wades are easily pushed around?"Gilbert focused on driving, letting out a rueful sigh before turning to his father and asking, "Dad, what should we do now?"Old Wade gritted his teeth and replied, "I don't believe that none of them will sell us a house. We'll keep searching tomorrow. Stop by a place to eat; I'm famished."Gilbert pulled over at an eatery, and they grabbed a quick bite. Once they were finished, they drove to the nearest hotel and booked rooms for the night.The following day, they rose early, had breakfast, and set out to find a hou
After fleeing, Old Wade hailed a taxi and returned to where Gilbert awaited him. Old Wade's expression darkened upon seeing his son. He hadn't anticipated Gilbert's disloyalty in fleeing at the first sign of danger."Gilbert!" Old Wade bellowed, drawing the attention of the lunchtime crowd in the eatery. Gilbert hung his head low as Old Wade stormed over to his table, pointing an accusatory finger."I regret the day you were born. How could you abandon me in a time of need?" Old Wade scolded.Gilbert lifted his gaze. "Dad, I tried to warn you, but you wouldn't listen," he replied.Old Wade made no effort to lower his voice; his outburst disrupted the peaceful atmosphere of the eatery, causing discomfort to the diners. A security guard approached them, saying, "Excuse me, sir, please lower your voice. You're disturbing our patrons with the noise."Old Wade turned to the security guard and bellowed, "Do you have any idea who I am? I'm Wade, a shareholder in the Wade group. How dare a me
Old Wade's eyes snapped open, and he immediately berated Gilbert, "Why didn't you catch me before I fell? I've broken my waist."Beads of sweat formed on Gilbert's brow as he scrambled to apologize, "I am deeply sorry, Father. I promise never to fail to catch you again. I won't make such a mistake in the future."Old Wade fixed Gilbert with a steely glare and retorted angrily, "What do you mean, 'next time'? Do you think I enjoy fainting? Don't let this happen again. Find new agent. We can't afford to spend the night out in the open."Gilbert wiped the sweat from his forehead and promised, "Dad, I will contact a new agent."Old Wade huffed in frustration and fell silent. After Gilbert arranged for another agent, they purchased a new house. However, just as they were about to move in, the house collapsed."What's happening?" Old Wade's eyes widened in shock as disbelief etched across his face.If it had happened once, it could have been a mistake, but twice couldn't be attributed to a
