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

As the car glided smoothly through the city streets, Grace stared out the window, her mind replaying the evening's events. Every detail, every twist tugged at her curiosity about Gerald’s true identity. It wasn’t just that he had secured the support of the Chen and Liu families—two notoriously difficult factions to sway. It was the effortless way he had done it, as if the entire negotiation was merely a casual transaction. The sheer absurdity of it gnawed at her.She glanced at his profile, illuminated by the occasional passing streetlight. His face remained unreadable, his hands steady on the wheel, his gaze fixed on the road ahead. There was something about his quiet and unassuming demeanor that both unsettled and fascinated her. Gerald was an enigma, one she couldn’t easily unravel—and that mystery only attracted her more.“Gerald…” Grace hesitated, trying to find the right words. “I don’t know how to thank you. You’ve done more for me tonight than I could have ever imagined. I’ll
