“What document is this, Max?” Edward asked, frowning.Max looked at Edward with sad eyes. He felt like in that second, he lost the ability to speak, even just to answer the question.Edward opened the document and read it for a moment. His eyes widened, and his hands suddenly trembled until the document fell from his hands."What happened, Edward?" Elora was surprised to see Edward's reaction. She picked up the document that had fallen on the floor, then read it.Elora was very surprised. Her palm immediately covered her gaping, open mouth. It was written in the document that Edward had officially been expelled from the Lackner family. The surname 'Lackner' has also been removed from his name. From this moment on, Edward was not a member of the Lackner family, and he also did not have any rights to his family's wealth and power.After Wilhelm regained consciousness, he immediately asked his lawyer to take care of Edward's removal papers as a member of the Lackner family. He didn't wan
"Mother," Elena responded.“Did you come here to see me?” Renee asked."Yes, mom. Actually, I wanted to deliver food to you and father, but unfortunately, the food accidentally spilled," explained Elena.Anthony felt guilty. “Miss, please allow me to take responsibility; I will replace this food,” he insisted. He took out some money from his wallet, but Elena still refused it.“Thank you, My Lord. But I couldn't accept it.” Elena cupped her hands. "I have to go." She stepped away from there.Anthony didn't give up, either. He handed the money to Renee. “Please accept this as compensation for the food. I don't want to feel guilty," implored him."Thank you so much, My Lord," said Renee as she accepted the money. Even though she was twice Anthony's age, Renee was fascinated by the Earl.Anthony's polite and gentle demeanor was in perfect harmony with his handsome Greek god face.Anthony's gaze was still focused on Elena, who was now far from his sight. Seeing Elena's beautiful face and
Anthony was in the hotel's presidential suite. He had just gotten out of his bath and walked out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe.He opened the door to his room and looked up at the beautiful evening sky. Suddenly, a knock on the door caught his attention. Anthony turned toward the door while frowning."My Lord, please open the door," said Anthony's assistant from behind the door.Anthony rushed to open the door for his assistant. The man bowed to Anthony."My Lord, I have conveyed your invitation to dinner to the Jensen family, and they accepted the invitation."“Good. They must be very happy to get an invitation to dinner from a noble like me," said Anthony, a little bragging. He grinned.“My Lord, the Jensen family is actually so picky. They will not carelessly attend someone's invitation. Their lives are also full of privacy. Even the heir of the Jensen family never appeared in any media because they forbade the media to publish photos of their son," explained the assistant."R
The Jensen family received a dinner invitation from Anthony Wright. They crossed one arm over their chests and then bowed their bodies as a form of respect for the nobleman.Anthony bowed his body in return for their respect.“Thank you so much for coming. It is an honor for me to have dinner with the Jensen family," said Anthony."This is an honor for us too, My Lord," replied William.Anthony's gaze turned to Leon, whose expression looked cold. 'So he is the heir to the Jensen family?' he said to himself.They sat at the dining table. Leon took a seat next to his father and faced Anthony.The waiter started pouring wine into each of their glasses. The atmosphere in the restaurant tonight was very quiet because Anthony had booked the entire restaurant to have dinner with the Jensen family."So, My Lord, did you come here alone?” Belinda asked.Anthony nodded. “Yes, ma'am. I only came here with my assistant and subordinates," he answered.William started to take turns asking Anthony,
Just as Leon opened his mouth to answer, Anthony's voice calling him made him walk away from there.Sabrina folded her hands across her stomach while looking at Leon with disdain. "See, he really works as a servant for that nobleman," muttered Sabrina.Sabrina remembered a moment ago, when she accidentally met Claire—the woman had just gone to court to file for divorce from Leon.Claire told Sabrina that she was very tired of having a husband like Leon. Claire said that the man was useless and had no ambition.Sabrina saw the waitress who was about to deliver wine to Leon and Anthony's table. At the table, apart from the two men, there was also Anthony's assistant.Sabrina stopped the two waitresses and said to them, “Make sure you serve wine only to that noble. The other two people are just his servants. They have no right to drink this wine, especially since this is the most expensive wine we have. Only special and distinguished guests can drink it.”The two waitresses nodded and ob
FLASH BACK.Michael looked at his cellphone screen and at the couple alternately. "No doubt, they are the young master's in-laws," he muttered surely. He put his cell phone in his pocket and moved to follow them silently.Joe and Renee stopped in front of a shop. Michael hid behind the wall while watching them.“What shop is that? I've never been inside that shop before," Michael muttered.Before entering the shop, Joe and Renee looked around, making sure no one they knew saw them there.They immediately entered the shop after making sure it was safe. Michael moved towards the shop. He stood in front of the shop and looked at the shopfront. There was no banner that said what they were selling. Michael didn't have a clue about what the shop was selling.There was only one way to find out. Michael had to enter the shop and pretend to be a buyer.Entering the shop, Michael saw many traditional medicines displayed there.“So, this is a drug store?” Michael muttered.There were only Michae
The sound of her cell phone ringing made Elena look at it, which was on the table. The person who called her was none other than her mother. Elena sighed and let the call go. She still didn't want to talk to her mother after what happened two days ago.Finding Elena not receiving the call, Renee kept trying to call her daughter until Elena accepted.Elena, who initially ignored her, now thinks that maybe there is an emergency that makes her mother keep calling her.Elena finally received the call.“Elena, are you busy?” Her stepfather's voice surprised Elena."No, I'm not busy. What's the matter, father?" Elena responded.“Your mother has a high fever. I can't take her to the hospital, so I hope you'll take her. Her body kept shivering, and her body temperature is very high.”Elena suddenly became worried about her mother. “Okay, father. I'll be right there and take my mother to the hospital.”"We're waiting for you, Elena."Call ended.Elena wore a knee-length dress with a long black
Renee continued to direct her gaze toward Michael."Somehow, I feel like I've seen that guy before, but where?” Renee muttered."Maybe I'm just hallucinating. It's not important anyway. The most important thing is that Elena has now met Earl Anthony. I'm sure after this they will definitely get closer," said Renee with a grin.Anthony held the menu book while flipping through each page of the book. He lowered the menu book, which was initially covering his view, to see Elena's face more clearly.“She's really beautiful. I don't care even if she's not a noble, but I feel like she is different," he muttered."My Lord, what would you like to order?" Elena looked up and found Anthony watching her.Anthony was surprised and immediately responded spontaneously. “I want to eat these oysters and lobsters. This looks really delicious.”The waiter took Anthony's order. His gaze turned to Elena."I ordered what Earl ordered," said Elena."I told you, Elena, call me Anthony. You don't need to cal
