After a tense exchange of words on the mansion grounds, Jack feels the need to maintain his composure and avoid further confrontation."I will go now. See you next time,” Jack said to Daniel.“There really won't be another time, Jack. Do you know why? Because you will go bankrupt in a very short time. Someone like you wouldn't stand a chance with Diana. Maybe now she's fascinated, but gradually, especially when you are broke without a penny, she will not see you anymore. Listen, before you are publicly humiliated, you better step down," said Daniel."You are too confident, Daniel. If you're so great, why doesn't Diana want to be engaged to you?” asked Jack with a crooked smile.Daniel Collins clenched his fists because he was so angry with Jack's words. However, Jack smiled even more because he knew Daniel would not make a scene here.“Listen, Jack Ashworth. You will feel the consequences for daring to confront me. You will not only be bankrupt in the near future but also have bad luc
Jack immediately sped his car. The sounds of gunshots and bullet marks would probably catch the attention of many people even with the sound suppression on. Jack himself couldn't believe he could dodge so many bullets, even seizing and breaking them with his bare hands. The power and agility provided by this system is extraordinary. However, he couldn't stay in this place for too long. While driving, Jack wondered who could possibly be doing all this. Of course he could guess that this was the work of Daniel Collins or Gordon Hawthorne. However, Jack could guess that this was Daniel's doing. Gordon probably had a lot of bodyguards and errands, but most of them Jack probably recognized. The people from earlier were completely different. From their uniforms, Jack could conclude that their boss was very wealthy. Without the need to investigate, Jack already knew the culprit. Ding! [User Jack Ashworth's health status is deteriorating. Immediately perform treatment or exchange points to
Diana felt a burning sensation in her heart when she saw Jack holding hands with Ashley. However, she realized that she had no right to be jealous because her relationship with Jack was just a pretense to keep up appearances in public. Diana was a little confused because apparently, she had more feelings for Jack than she had ever thought. Even though she tried to hide her feelings, that jealous expression was hard to hide. She was about to leave the hospital room before Jack or Ashley noticed her presence.However, Jack suddenly saw Diana."Diana," he called in a soft voice.Diana turned and looked at Jack with astonished eyes. "Oh, Jack! Erm… I came to have a look," she said with a bit of embarrassment.Jack waved a hand inviting her closer. "Come in, Diana. I have something to talk to you about."She hesitated for a moment but finally decided to enter.Ashley felt a little taken aback by this exchange. She thought Jack and Diana's relationship was real, not just pretend. She could
Suzzane was in her office, focused on her work. However, when she took a short break and opened a local news website, Suzzane's eye fell on a piece of news that caught her eye. The news tells about the attack on Jack Ashworth and how he managed to fend off the attackers. Suzzane was shocked and concerned. She shook her head, not believing that Jack had to face such a situation.At that moment, Suzzane's mind turned to something else that needed to be addressed. She felt guilty because she had not yet handed over the tender data to Gordon Hawthorne. Liam had been so good to her the whole time and she couldn't bear to do this. However, Gordon Hawthorne would definitely force it again. Suzzane probably couldn't avoid it anymore.Suzzane worked late in her room, sitting at her desk which was filled with files and work tools. The dim light illuminates the silent room, the only sound being crickets outside the window. Suzzane was focused on his task, trying to finish the work that had piled
Suzzane felt her heart jump in surprise when she heard Gordon's voice calling her name. He turned and saw Gordon standing by the door of the room. His intense gaze made Suzzane feel like she was being questioned."Oh, so you're still seeing Jack huh?" asked Gordon in a suspicious tone. He studied Suzzane with an unpredictable gaze.Suzzane straightened herself steadily, even though she felt some tension in the situation. "I only came to check on my friend Gordon. My private life has nothing to do with yours."Gordon frowned, not entirely convinced by Suzzane's answer. He sighed and stepped closer. "Suzzane, you know that the deadline for submitting tender data is approaching, right?"Suzzane nodded slowly, realizing that she could no longer escape this reality. "Yes, I know, Gordon."Gordon stared at him intently. "Then, where is the data? Have you got it?"Suzzane felt her chest tighten. She still hesitates to hand over the data because she is worried about the consequences for Liam.
Gordon Hawthorne was very happy because he got what his parents asked him to do. He drove back to the Hawthorne house. With great enthusiasm, Gordon walked into his house and immediately approached one of the servants who were still on duty."Are my parents at home?" he asked."They are in the study, Sir," replied the servant.Gordon knew that his parents liked to work late, so he immediately rushed to his parents' study. He hurried so that his footsteps could be heard with a thump on every step.Gordon Hawthorne quickly arrived at his parents' study. The room was filled with a classic atmosphere that reflected the wealth and power of the Hawthorne family. Dylan and Rita Hawthorne sat at a large table, busy with several important documents scattered on the table. They both looked so serious in their work.When Gordon entered, they both lifted their heads and smiled at their son. "Gordon, how are you? What's the news that makes you look so happy?" asked Rita with a smile.Gordon was bo
The bright morning light illuminates the hospital room where Jack is. The sunlight pouring in through the window gave off a pleasant warmth. After a good night's sleep and the medication he was given, Jack felt much better than before. He stretched slowly and raised his head to look at the clock on the side of the table. Time showed that it was quite morning. Jack felt the urge to get up and continue his activities.Ashley, who had been present since morning to keep Jack company, sat by the bed. She looked at him intently, showing her worry. "How are you feeling, Jack?"He smiled weakly. "Much better. A good night's sleep and the treatment given here has helped."Ashley nodded, but her expression still reflected worry. "The doctor has allowed you to go home. Instead, you should rest in the mansion.""No, I have to go to work, Ash," Jack said.“You just got out of the hospital, Jack. I'm afraid you're being too hasty."Jack bit his lip in thought. "I know, Ash, but I have important thi
Jack listened carefully to everything Ms. Del Mar. The woman emphasized over and over that Jack must not tell anyone that he was the one who leaked all of this. Jack promises not to drag Del Mar into his troubles as thanks.Apparently, Ms. Del Mar was so indebted to Diana Buchanan that she felt the need to help Jack because Diana asked her to. Jack wonders what debt she owes to Diana. Previously, Jack only asked Diana to investigate land officials who could still be asked for help, but apparently, Diana gave more than that.Diana gave him an envelope containing documents that were alleged to be Lambert's corruption as well as Ms. Del Mar. All of that was more than enough and Jack was very grateful for Diana's help. Now with everything that Del Mar laid out, Jack was sure he could solve his problem. However, Jack had to be really careful. The slightest mistake can turn things around.“Thank you, Ms. Del Mar,” Jack said as he shook her hand after their conversation was over."Glad to he
