“You think I don't know that you are the ones responsible for the death of my parents!"

"Don't make false allegations, Ms. Lester, I doubt you'd be able to pay for the lawsuit that would follow if you are wrong." Philip mocked but Phoebe wasn't willing to back down.

"I'm going to find evidence and when I do, be prepared to pay back for everything you've done. You have done so much evil, just know that karma is not far away."

"Haha, Karma?... Are you stupid?... Bullion is king in Crystal Falls. There's nothing like karma before us."

Phoebe remained silent, not deeming it necessary to give a response.

Her stance was already clear and her goal apparent.

It was left for Philip to make his choice.

"You won't back down till the end, Ms. Lester."

"Get out of my office."

"You will regret this…"

"Get out!"

Philip snorted as he got to his feet and left, with Phoebe barely able to restrain her anger.

It had been 2 years, 2 years of constant bad luck, from losing her parents to having so much on

    Just as she was about to respond, she suddenly felt faint, causing her to stagger back, only for Elijah to step forward to stop her from falling."You… why are you here?" She inquired, unable to make sense of what was happening.Elijah grinned. "I'd like to buy your bank."Phoebe sobered up immediately."You what?""I want to purchase your bank.""... Why?" Phoebe couldn't help but ask.Elijah promptly replied. "Because my wife wants it."***Philip had sent thugs to deal with Phoebe during the night, asking that they make it look like an accident just like they had done for her parents.But imagine their disappointment when they found no one at home.The next day, Philip rushed to PayUp to find out if Phoebe had come to work, and as he expected, she was in her seat."Oh, Mr. Philip, you are here," Phoebe remarked, all smiles, a complete contrast to her demeanor of yesterday.Philip quickly realized that something was wrong but unable to place his finger on it, he inquired.

    “Young master Luke, what's going on there?” Just then, the family butler appeared.“This bastard dared to hit me!... I'm going to teach him a lesson!” Luke responded.“Young master, you should calm down. The entire family is waiting in the meeting hall for Miss Alice.”“Don't tell me what to do!... This bastard hit me and he needs to pay the price!” “Young master, it's best not to escalate the situation until your grandfather is made aware, especially with the things happening right now.”Gritting his teeth, Luke glared at Elijah. “Best watch your back!”Then, he stomped off in a rage while the butler remained to lead Alice and Elijah to the meeting hall.“Uncle, what's going on?” Alice asked with the butler responding.“You'll know soon enough.”Once they arrived in the meeting room, Alice was immediately greeted by a bunch of people staring at her like she was their worst enemy.Alice's heart dropped at the sight as she wondered what could have happened that would warrant such a r

    Just as everyone was laughing, mocking Elijah and Claire, Elijah exploded. “Enough!” The hall was immediately plunged into silence as they all stared at Elijah with latent fear in their eyes. “I can take any insults you dish out, but if you dare to speak about my daughter wrongly again, then don't blame me for being rude!” Fear gripped the heart of the fool that spoke ill of Elijah and Claire, but spurred on by Lord Wesen’s authority, he remarked. “You bastard!... Instead of you to hide your face in shame, you dare to threaten me?... How can you even call yourself a man when you still need your wife to take care of you?... I swear I have no idea what Alice sees in you.” “I agree, it makes no sense. Honestly, if you love her, you'd leave her so she can reveal her true potential. Your presence is only holding her back from her true potential!.. Don't you feel any shame knowing that your wife has to resort to stealing from her own family to feed you?” Elijah said nothing, merely

    “Dear, let them go. There's nothing you do now that would change their minds.”“But I didn't do it,” Alice said amidst tears causing Elijah's heart to ache.“I know, and we will prove your innocence. But for now, let's go home.”Alice said nothing as she buried her head in Elijah's chest and cried.***After they got home, Alice went to the bedroom and locked herself in, leaving Elijah to take care of Claire in silence.After he'd made sure Claire was doing her homework, he got to the living room and made a phone call.“Hello, Gilbert.”“Sir Silva, it's an honor.”“Enough with the small talk. Terminate the ongoing deal with Wesen Group. Let them know that Gold Lake will only work with Alice Silva from now henceforth. Also, if there are any losses, ensure it is the Wesen family that handles it.”“Of course sir, I'll get it done right away.”After Elijah hung up, Gilbert immediately got to work.He didn't even bother delegating the duty as he handled it himself, putting a call across to

    Expecting Elijah to do as they wished, they quickly realized that they were only dreaming as Elijah remarked. “You expect me to kneel?... Then, come over here and make me.”As he spoke, he took a step forward with his arms spread wide, urging anyone man enough to step forward and act.Of course, none dared to do so and even some stepped back in fright.Something about Elijah made them feel like they would pay dearly should they make a mistake.Snorting derisively, Elijah mocked them. “Bunch of cowards!”“Who are you to insult us!... Instead of acting like a thug, try to have some class!” David coldly remarked earning a sneer from Elijah.“I don't need to, but I do know something that you need.”“What?”“Don't try to hide it. If Gold Lake hadn't terminated the contract with Wesen Group, you wouldn't be here asking to take Alice back. Yet you dare to ask us to kneel when you be the ones kneeling along with that old fool that thinks he can order Alice around like she's some maid.”“That'

    Having made his point, Elijah took Alice back into the villa, leaving the Wesen family members outside.Once inside, Alice asked. “Do you think I went too far?”“No.” Elijah calmly said. “I feel like you should have done more.”“They are ultimately still my family,” Alice admitted. “I can't bear to see them suffer.”“Same people that won't hesitate to watch you burn if it were for their benefit?”A melancholic smile adorned Alice's lips as she replied. “Yes, those same people.”Then, turning to Elijah, she muttered. “Thank you.”“... Why are you thanking me?” Elijah asked as he cradled her cheeks. “We are in this together.”Alice flashed a warm smile before burying her face in his chest.***Meanwhile, the Wesen family members returned home to Lord Wesen who frowned deeply once he realized that Alice wasn't with them. “Where is she?... Why isn't Alice with you?” One of them, Alice's niece and David's sister, Diana, quickly explained. “Grandpa, do calm down, it's not our fault. That

    “You should rest for now.” Elijah calmly said in a bid to soothe his troubled wife. “Don't worry, I'll rescue them.” “Elijah, maybe we should just give in. What if something happens?” Alice questioned in a panicked state. “Nothing will happen. You have my word.” Alice stared blankly at him but ultimately chose to believe in him. So far, he hadn't failed her, so she would believe that he could save her parents. “Alright.” “Make sure to stay here, alright?... Don't go anywhere, don't take any calls.” “Elijah…” “Promise me, Alice. Promise me you won't go anywhere.” Alice ultimately nodded. “Alright, I promise.” “Good. I'll be back soon.” With that, Elijah got to his feet and left with a determined look in his eyes and a system notification that read; [Mission generated] [Mission; Rescuing the In-laws] [Reward; 1000 Spirit Points, +100 satisfaction] Since the enemy had decided to mess with his wife, he would make sure to show them the error of their ways!

    “Stay away!... Don't you dare touch me!” David cried out in a panic as he tried to flee. He'd watched as Jack and his thugs were completely dominated by Thomas and members of the Dragon Legion, which meant Elijah hadn't even lifted a finger yet had beaten him. He was aware of Elijah’s status as a soldier but had no idea that the bastard would be connected to such powerful individuals and what was all that about being called a general? There's no way Elijah Silva was a general, right?... That didn't make any sense!... Or at least, David didn't wish for it to make sense. “You can't touch me!... If you touch me, my grandfather will deal with you!” David warned as Elijah quickly caught up to him before grabbing him by the neck and slapping him countless times. He slapped him strong enough to ensure that his cheeks were red and swollen but not enough to ensure that he passed out. Elijah wished to make him feel all the pain of the slaps. David burst into tears as he remarked.

    Mordred was startled as he watched several tall and burly men streaming in from outside.Olivia jumped up in shock too, but she soon pointed at a middle-aged man among the crowd and said excitedly to Mordred, “Look over there! It’s the man on the far right! He’s the one you sent to pick us up, and he’s the one who took Elijah’s daughter away!”But at this moment, Mordred didn’t even look at the middle-aged man Olivia identified.All his attention was on the elegant young man in his thirties in the middle of the crowd.“You’re… General Thomas!” Mordred exclaimed, recognizing one of the greatest commanders serving the King of the NorthThen he saw Elijah, causing his face to turn incredibly ugly.As soon as he saw the great enemy who had killed his son, a wave of resentment and killing intent kept gushing out from his body beyond his control.But he wasn’t a fool and knew that he couldn’t act rashly at this moment. He also knew that the current situation was extremely bad for him.Recal

  • Terrified and chagrined

    At this moment, Olivia really wanted to cry. She was both terrified and chagrined.Had she known this would happen earlier, she wouldn’t have chosen to cooperate with Mordred because it was simply courting death!But if she could turn back time, she would probably still be willing to sell Claire and work with Mordred.She was an extremely selfish woman.While Olivia was feeling anxious, the middle-aged man suddenly answered a phone call and respectfully said “Yes!” to the phone several times.This made Olivia, who was trying to eavesdrop from the side, unable to get any useful information.All of a sudden, the middle-aged man turned to look at Olivia. “Mr. Abnomar will arrive in three minutes. I’m going outside to receive him. Stay here and don’t move. Otherwise, you know what the consequences are!”With that, he stopped looking at Olivia and opened the villa door to leave.Olivia peeked out sneakily. For a moment, she also thought of sneaking away.But she immediately dismissed the t

  • Overthinking

    Olivia was so engrossed in her fantasy that she didn’t even notice that the two middle-aged men driving in front of her were looking at her with contempt.After about twenty minutes or so, the car finally stopped at the entrance of a quiet villa.The middle-aged man took out his phone and sent out a series of messages before saying coldly to Olivia, “We’re here. Get out.”Olivia opened the door and got out of the car. After looking around, she asked, “Is Mr. Abnomar waiting for me inside?”“No, Mr. Abnomar is a bit busy and hasn’t arrived yet. Just wait inside,” the middle-aged man said with a straight face.Olivia was extremely displeased.She had already sent her granddaughter to Mordred as he wished, yet he was still putting on airs in front of her and asking her to wait for him. He was going overboard!But the other party’s power was definitely greater than hers.Besides, Mordred was in control of the voice recording, so Olivia had no choice but to enter the villa and wait for him

  • How annoying

    Olivia said casually and perfunctorily, “Didn’t you see it? There were suddenly so many people in the ward, and it was really dangerous. Of course, I’m bringing you somewhere safe!”At this moment, she was holding Claire’s delicate wrist tightly and anxiously, as if she was holding her destiny.When she saw a person stepping out of a Toyota Avalon parked near the hospital entrance and walking toward her, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly pulled Claire along and made her way over.“Olivia, huh? We are the people Mr. Abnomar sent to pick you up,” the tall middle-aged man in a gray suit said indifferently.“Yes, it’s us!” Olivia immediately nodded and followed the man to the Toyota, only to find that there was no one inside.“Strange, didn’t Mr. Abnomar say he would come in person?” Olivia murmured.The middle-aged man looked at her. “Mr. Abnomar has a high status. Why would he come personally? Just leave with us. We’ll bring you to meet up with Mr. Abnomar.”Olivia thought about it and

  • Taking advantage

    The people who rushed in all seemed agitated and full of zeal, making the young doctor misunderstand that there was an emergency in the hospital.“Is Dr. Rex Holding here?”“We’re here to see Dr. Rex Holding. We heard he’s here!”“Dr. Holding, please help! My son has had cerebral palsy for many years, and no one has been able to cure him. I heard that you are highly skilled in medicine. You must save my son!”“My father suffers from paraplegia and hasn’t been able to get out of bed for years. Dr. Holding, please save him!”“And my wife, she became a vegetable because of a traffic accident. I heard that you’re treating a patient suffering from the same condition now, so please help my wife too! She’s only in her thirties, and our kids are only a few years old. They have no mother to take care of them now!”All at once, around ten people began clamoring loudly one after another before surging toward Rex, who was standing by the hospital bed.Their hands were all reaching out to grab him

  • A noisy commotion

    She was a little worried that Alice would try getting her to undergo a full body checkup again if she said that she hadn’t slept well.Now that she was pressed for time and hadn’t figured out a good solution to deal with Claire, she obviously didn’t have any time for a medical checkup.So no matter what, she had to force herself to perk up and look energized.Elijah glanced at her, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, but he didn’t say anything.After breakfast, Rex came to Albert’s ward on time at 9:30 am to begin the daily acupuncture treatment for him.As soon as he came today, she saw Claire, who looked as pretty and cute as a doll, and his heart melted.Claire received a great shock when she saw the gaze in Rex’s eyes, and she couldn’t help hiding behind Elijah.She merely popped half her head out to look at Rex.Of course, her action immediately melted Rex’s heart even more.Elijah burst into laughter as he stroked Claire’s head and introduced her. “Claire, this is Da

  • No sleep for the wicked

    Alice was really worried.In the afternoon, Olivia had said that her memory was failing her because she was getting old.She had even comforted Olivia then. But forgetting the same thing twice within a day was not a good sign.If she was forgetful because she was exhausted, it wouldn’t be too bad. But if it was because of a disease like senile dementia… it would be terrible!Thus, Alice felt that it was better to arrange a full body checkup for Olivia right away, in case there was really something wrong with her.Since the medical expert, Rex was still around, she could help look at Olivia’s condition as well.Olivia chuckled wryly and quickly refused, “Nah, I’m fine! I’m just… too worried about your father at work, and it’s all that’s been on my mind lately, so I keep forgetting what I have to do. I’m perfectly fine. Don’t worry!”Alice persuaded her a few more times, but Olivia firmly said that there was nothing wrong with her health.Only then did Alice give up for the time being.

  • Calling at the wrong time

    Mordred actually called at such a juncture. No matter how bold Olivia was, she wouldn’t dare to answer at this moment!After ten seconds or so, Mordred called again.Olivia still chose to decline the call. At the same time, her heart was beating wildly.She cursed Mordred in her heart.When she was holding onto Claire’s hand and urging him just now, he didn’t rush over and treated her with an extremely hostile attitude. Now that the situation had changed drastically, Mordred actually called. Is he trying to get me killed?!After declining his calls twice in a row, she reckoned that he must have realized something and didn’t call again.Elijah was well aware, so he sneered and deliberately asked, “Who called? Olivia, why didn’t you pick up?”Olivia lowered her head, not daring to look at him at all. She said guiltily, “Oh, it’s nothing. It’s just harassment calls! I keep getting telemarketing calls from real estate agents and promoters. It’s really annoying!”“Oh, really? That’s really

  • Sudden arrival

    While talking to Claire, she looked around and began to get restless and uneasy.She had been waiting here for several minutes, and she was puzzled as to why Mordred hadn’t shown up yet.Perhaps because she had a guilty conscience, she was now feeling incredibly uncomfortable, as if there were eyes on her back.Since Mordred hadn’t appeared yet, she gradually began to feel uncertain, and she even had a vague, ominous hunch.Claire stood in place for a long time. Seeing that Olivia wasn’t moving, she was confused and raised her head to ask, “Grandma, why aren’t we leaving yet?”“What are you rushing me for?! Can’t you see I’m waiting for a car?” Olivia suddenly snapped angrily.Claire’s body immediately stiffened, startled by the sudden rebuke, and tears instantly appeared in her large eyes. She wanted to cry, but she didn’t dare to.Olivia wasn’t in the mood to pay attention to Claire. After waiting for nearly ten more minutes, she couldn’t help taking out her phone to call Mordred ag
