She stepped out of the car with Gerald following closely after her. They approached the entrance, only to be stopped by a guard. “Miss Zhao, I’m sorry, but Mr. Chen isn't expecting you,” the guard said as he blocked their path. “It's really urgent; I need to see Mr. Chen now!” Grace's frustration was through the roof as she spoke through gritted teeth. “Sorry.” The guard shook his head. “I can't let you in without his permission.” “But why can't…” Before Grace could continue her argument, Gerald's strong arm grabbed her shoulder, stopping her from arguing further. He gazed at the guard with such authority that the guard started to feel very nervous. “Call Mr. Chen. Tell him that Gerald is here.”

Gerald's outburst silenced everyone for at least a moment. All eyes turned on him—some surprised, some irritated, some indifferent. Grace looked at him with gritted teeth, wishing he'd stop this tomfoolery, but Gerald refused to back down.“I’m not here to see you, Liu,” Gerald pointed at him. “I’m here to see your father, Mr. Chen. I treated him years ago, so he should know me. I have something important to discuss with him.”“My father?” Liu raised an eyebrow in contempt. “You think you can just walk in here and demand to see him because you claim to know him? Preposterous! Do you take me for a fool?”“It’s the truth,” Gerald stepped forward. “I treated him once and we had a good relationship, if you could just…”“Enough!” Grace interrupted with a pained look on her face. “Gerald, stop this at once.You’re making things worse.”“You have to trust me.” Gerald turned to her in desperation. “I didn’t know his son would be here. But I do kno

Before Gerald could utter a word, Liu, Zhang, and Chang rushed to meet Mr. Chen.“Father!” Liu greeted with a small bow. Zhang and Chang followed suit, eager smiles on their faces.“Mr. Chen, it's an honor to see you again,” Zhang said smoothly, extending his hand for a shake. “We were just discussing some important matters with Liu regarding our families' future collaboration.”Mr. Chen gave a polite smile as he shook hands with both Zhang and Chang. “I appreciate your visit. It's always a pleasure to see the Zhao family.”Zhang and Chang exchanged secret glances, interpreting this as a sign that Mr. Chen favored them.“However, I’m afraid I can't entertain guests today. I'm feeling very tired, and I would like to get some sleep,” Mr. Chen said in a tone that brooked no argument.“But don't worry,” Mr. Chen continued, a reassuring smile stretching across his lips. “Liu will relay everything you've discussed to me. I'll make sure to send a message with my response soon.”Zhang and Cha

Mr. Chen led Gerald inside the grand mansion, guiding him to the lavishly decorated sitting room where the rich scent of fresh tea greeted them.“Please, make yourself comfortable,” Mr. Chen said warmly, gesturing to a seat across from him as he took a seat himself. He reached out for a small bell and rang it. Moments later, a servant appeared with a tray of piping hot tea and assorted snacks, which made Gerald’s eyes shine and his stomach growl. They sat in silence, enjoying the refreshments, before Mr. Chen cleared his throat, breaking the quiet.“So, Gerald, I saw you had quite the encounter with my security team outside,” Mr. Chen said, an amused smile playing on his lips. “I’m not going to marvel at your impressive combat skills. I mean, half of them are still groaning on the ground. But what exactly happened out there?”Gerald chuckled lightly, setting his teacup down. “Well, Mr. Chen, I didn’t come here intending to start a fight, believe me. I came with only peace in mind, but

Gerald held the exquisite jade card in his hands, admiring the craftsmanship. It was beautiful, and he cradled it as if it were made of glass, afraid that if he let it go, it would fall and shatter. He looked up at Mr. Chen with an expression full of gratitude."Thank you, Mr. Chen. I'll make sure to put this to good use," he said with a warm smile."You've earned it, Gerald. I'm just repaying a debt," Mr. Chen responded with a smile of his own. "Now, as for the Liu family... Liu, I want you to drive Gerald to their manor. Make sure he arrives without any further incidents, and treat him with respect this time.""Yes, Father. I'll take care of it," Liu, who had been quiet throughout most of the conversation, nodded immediately. He moved to the door and opened it, motioning for Gerald to follow."Thank you again, Mr. Chen. I'll see you soon," Gerald gave him a respectful bow before following Liu out of the grand mansion.Outside, a sleek black Porsche awaited them. Liu opened the door

Zhang and Chang were getting impatient as the wait stretched on for hours. Their confidence overrode their patience, and they began to mutter to each other.“This is a waste of time,” Zhang said, rolling his eyes and checking the time on his watch. “Mr. Liu is probably too busy with his meetings to entertain anyone today.”“You’re probably right,” Chang agreed with a nod. “We’ve already secured the support of Mr. Chen. There’s nothing left to worry about.”“Exactly. We’ve got everything we need. Grace over there”—he gestured toward her with his chin—“has no chance. Even if, and it’s a big ‘even if,’ she gets a meeting, I doubt Mr. Liu would back someone as desperate as her.”They laughed out loud, and Grace almost lost her temper as she wondered how much more of this she could take.“It’s over for you, Grace. You’ve already lost your position. Everyone knows it. Just save yourself the embarrassment and go home,” they jeered at her as they walked away from the manor, climbing into thei

Gerald held the Jade card between his fingers like a winning hand as he confidently approached the guard. The guard wore an extremely tired expression, clearly wondering what trick they had up their sleeve now.“Hey there,” Gerald said, flashing the card with a smug grin. “Mind letting us through? We have an important meeting with Mr. Liu!”“I already told your friend over there,” the guard said, barely glancing at the card before crossing his arms. “Mr. Liu is currently entertaining a VIP. No one gets in without an appointment.”“But don’t you see this card? This is Mr. Chen’s Jade card. We’ve got the backing of the Chen family. Now, how about you open the gate and let us through?”“You don’t get it.” The guard sighed, still unmoved. “I don’t care if that’s Mr. Chen’s personal tea set. No means no. You’ll have to come back another time.”“But we don’t have time for another visit!” Gerald’s jaw tightened in impatience. “This is very urgent!”“And this is my job,” the guard shrugged, “

After what felt like an eternity of waiting, the massive doors of the manor finally swung open. Mr. Liu and Mr. Liang appeared, deep in conversation with serious expressions on their faces. Grace and Gerald immediately straightened up, nudging each other with their elbows.“You got this?” Gerald inquired. “I got it. Leave it to me,” Grace took a deep breath and prepared herself. “Here we go.”Wasting no time, Grace rushed toward them, eager to seize this rare opportunity.“Mr. Liu! Mr. Liu!” she called out with a firm yet polite tone.Mr. Liu glanced in her direction, his eyes widening as he recognized who the girl was, but he remained stoic. He gave her a slight nod of acknowledgment but continued talking to Liang. He was used to people vying for his attention and had long mastered the art of ignoring them.Undeterred, Grace pressed on. She wasn't going to let a cold shoulder stop her, she'd been waiting far too long to be deterred by something so petty. “It’s a pleasure to meet you

Everyone stood in stunned silence as they watched General Liang bow before Gerald. Even Gerald himself was stunned to the core, and Mr. Liu, who had minutes ago been mocking Grace’s persistence, had his jaw hanging when he saw his friend perform such an act. Had the world gone mad?“It’s an honor to meet you.” General Liang rose from his bow, flashing Gerald a warm smile.“Uh… same to you, I guess.” Gerald didn’t know how to respond, so he just settled for that.“Can you tell me where you got that ring?” Liang asked again, his voice almost reverent. He was clearly humbled by the presence of such an artifact, something even he, with all his military accolades, respected.Gerald shrugged nonchalantly and didn’t respond immediately as he went down memory lane. He remembered when he was still imprisoned; he had done a huge favor for an old man, and the old man had gifted him the ring. He remembered the old man telling him with a cryptic smile that the ring would “open doors” for him one d

He just said with a wry smile."Where's she?" Brian asked with the assertion that this naughty boy was referring to Julie."Mom's apartment, she's a psycho this time around, so be careful" he advised with no formal gestures as though the kid was having an indifference attitude towards him.

I'm just learning new features, you know I despise people when they cry, but you look beautiful when you do such" he teased, and she smiled wiping her tears the more and then collected the coffee from him yet again. It seems she was going to keep to act this way with the pissed off mug of coffee."Really?" She beckoned, bringing out a mirror."Seriously? You always keep a mirror with you?""Yeah, to see if I look good when I'm done" she said laughing as he only smiled a little.

"My biggest fan?" She echoed impressive though because she never knew she's got fans from just saving lives and her biggest fan was definitely jimmy disguised; however, the late line was awkward as he says she should be grateful he wrote it. There was no doubt that she needed to call him, although she still got my pride. She carried the box inside because she didn't want anyone to see the gift inside. Once she got in.She unfolded the wrap from the box and found a necklace. It was gorgeous and made of pure diamond."Not bad" She commented because it was expensive and wow he sure knew she wanted such. Julie was more like a materialistic person, although it would have been romantic if he wore it on her and then say: "I'm sorry love for suspecting you". It wasn't only a necklace she found but a pen and diary which wrote;"Pour it all out to me, I might be of great help". Weird right but this damn book got her laughing, just what she wanted, a diary.
