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
Jayson felt a wave of terror wash over him, nearly causing him to stumble backward. He hadn't even dealt with the Saint family yet, and now the Anderson family had entered the picture. The Wilsons' actions had only heightened his sense that the world was crumbling around him.His face contorted into a dark, charcoal-like expression as he glared at Elena, his teeth clenched tightly. The news of death threats was enough to unsettle anyone, and Jayson was no exception."Why are you telling me this, Elena?" Jayson managed to ask calmly, though his fists were clenched tightly as he struggled to control his racing heartbeat.Elena lowered her head, unsure of how to answer. She had overheard her uncles discussing something in her grandmother's ward and had hurriedly sought out Jayson to inform him."I don't know," Elena mumbled in response, avoiding eye contact with Jayson.Jayson hissed in anger. He hadn't even had a chance to exact revenge on the Wilson family, who had made his earlier lif
The old man behind the challenge desk glared at Jayson, his gaze filled with increasing anger. Through clenched teeth, he hissed, "Do you even realize that the Saint family is a heaven-ranked family?"Confused, Jayson stared back at the old man, oblivious to the meaning of a "heaven-ranked family." Wanting to understand, he inquired, "What exactly does 'heaven-ranked family' mean?"The old man's face grew even darker, and he scolded, "You don't even know how cultivators are ranked? Well, that's just great! As a mere mortal, you dare to challenge a force from a heaven-ranked family. If you're intent on committing suicide, there's a sea in Jade City, a river across Jade City called Diana's Bridge, or even a high-scraper. Take your pick and die, rather than infuriating me to death."Jayson was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure of how he had managed to provoke the elderly man seated behind the challenge desk. The old man's reaction caught him off guard, and he found himself staring
The words that escaped Grey's son's lips were astonishing; even though Old Wade and Grey wanted to believe, there was no logical basis for such nonsense. They knew Jayson too well. If he truly had money, wouldn't he have paid for his wife's bridal gifts instead of Elena covering the expenses?Grey reached out and firmly grasped his son's ear, giving it a slight twist before delivering a stern lecture. "Ever since we returned to our old house, you've been gallivanting around with those less fortunate girls. Let me make it clear: we will not allow you to marry any of them. You're a Wade; you should behave like a dragon. What do you mean Jayson is the owner of Nissan Corporation?"Having relied on the financial support of the Wilson family for the past three years, the Wade family was unable to perceive the truth about their own financial standing.Edward, Grey's son, winced in pain as he struggled to explain, his voice filled with a sense of injustice. "Dad, I'm not lying; Jayson really
Jayson stood his ground, his eyes fixed coldly on the bouncers. He knew that if he retreated now, suspicion would fall upon him. What he couldn't predict was how the bouncers would react under the circumstances. The bouncers, on the other hand, felt a chill run down their spines, fearing that their boss was displeased with their actions. Their boss had a reputation for ruthlessness, even resorting to violence for the slightest transgressions."We apologize, Boss. We didn't mean to impede you," one of the bouncers stammered nervously, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.Jayson, disguised as the notorious Tiger Gang boss, let out a cold snort. "See that it doesn't happen again," he commanded sternly.With his heart pounding and his palms drenched in sweat, Jayson took a deep breath and walked with purpose into the clubhouse. He possessed the memories of the person he had assumed the form of, granting him knowledge of the clubhouse layout. However, his greatest fear was encountering
