Jack smiled sincerely, appreciating the help given by Madeline. Although he realized that there was a system behind his healing, he knew how important it was to express gratitude for a doctor's care and expertise.“Thank you, Doc. I'm sure this is thanks to your skills and the medical team at this hospital," answered Jack.Madeline was still amazed. "This is truly extraordinary. I still find it hard to believe, but all the test results show that you are fine."Jack nodded. "I'm lucky. But I also have a question for you, Doctor. Can we talk for a moment?""Sure, we can just talk about it here."Hearing that, the nurse who came with Madeline immediately excused herself and left the room. Jack glanced at Suzzane, who was still sitting with a suspicious look."Suzzane, I want a little time to talk to Doctor Houston. Go now," said Jack.Suzzane looked at Jack in disbelief. For the umpteenth time, Jack had thrown him away."Okay, I'll wait outside," answered Suzzane.“No need to wait for me
While Jack rested to recover his health, at a nightclub far away, Gordon was having fun with his friends, including Jamie Cowell. Spotlights and booming music fill the room, creating a very lively atmosphere. However, amidst all the glitter, Jamie looked so tense. He even found it difficult to smile."Is there a problem, Jamie?" Gordon asked while drinking his drink.Jamie turned to Gordon with worried eyes. "Gordon, I'm in big trouble. Jack Ashworth has filed a lawsuit against me. He has very strong digital evidence that proves his accusations."Gordon raised his eyebrows, trying to suppress the turmoil inside him. "You can't just panic. Is the evidence that strong?"Jamie nodded quickly. "Yes, Gordon. This is very strong. I've talked to my lawyer about it, and he said this case could be very tough."Jamie's face showed deep panic. "Gordon, you have to take responsibility for this. You were the one who told me to spread rumors about Jack."Gordon shook his head slowly. "You don't nee

The air was warm with the laughter and whispers of the guests, mixed with the fragrant aroma of fresh flowers that filled the room.

In a fit of elegance, Dylan tried to break the silence by turning the conversation to plans for next week's golf game. His friendly smile flashed as he asked Rick Langham, "Rick, what about next week's golf plans?"Rick Langham nodded excitedly, "I can't wait for it, Dylan. It's going to be an interesting match."After that brief conversation, they slipped into a corner of the room, pretending to be getting dishes. Rita, with a thoughtful look, whispered quickly to Gordon, "Gordon, you're too reckless. Don't ever provoke Jack again, understand?"Gordon mumbled while rolling his eyes, "Mom, he's just bluffing. He can't possibly know what's really going on."Dylan, trying to calm the situation, interjected caringly, "Rita, Gordon, calm down. Let's keep our voices low. I’m afraid someone will hear our conversation."They spoke in low voices, trying to make sure their words only reached between them. In such a big room, any sound could be heard by anyone. Even though they tried to maintai

"Thank you, friends," he said in a voice filled with confidence. "I am truly touched to see familiar faces here. Your presence makes this special day even more meaningful."The atmosphere was so warm, the sparkling backdrop added a touch of elegance to the whole show. Rick carefully chose his words, opening his speech with sincere gratitude."But tonight, I don't just want to thank you. I want to share something new. A project that means a lot to the Langham family."The large screen behind him lit up, revealing the big picture of the vision they had planned. This new business promises great potential, and guests' eyes light up at t
Gordon felt his world crumbling, his every claim clashing with the overwhelming evidence. He shouted loudly, his voice shrill in the luxurious room. "This is impossible! That's not me on that screen! Something's wrong!"But his efforts were in vain. The sharp and silent gazes from the guests were like spears that pierced his heart. They couldn't forget what they had just witnessed.Ashley deftly took out her cell phone and called the police. "There's an emergency. I need to report an important incident at Rick Langham's party. Send help immediately."In no time, the sound of police sirens filled the silence of the night. Officers arrived swiftly and firmly took control of the situation. They arrested Gordon according to legal procedures, not even a single word could stop him.Dylan felt like his chest was being squeezed in a cold iron grip.

That night, Jack drives Ashley home after Rick Langham's party. The night air provided a touch of refreshing coolness, while the scent of flowers filled their noses, creating the perfect backdrop for serious conversation.As the car's wheels rolled through the somewhat deserted road, the vehicle's interior offered a warm atmosphere that hugged them close. Ashley couldn't help but be amazed, her voice filled with admiration, "I'm actually surprised how quickly you were able to come up with such great evidence, Jack."Jack smiled humbly, his eyes fixed on the road that stretched ahead. "The detective I hired was indeed a very skilled professional. He told me about the CCTV in the building next door, an old mall that was almost bankrupt. It turned out that, even though the building was almost forgotten, the surveillance cameras were still working. The management agreed to give me the footage in exchange for money. The detective also didn't hesitate to charge his fair share. And I, of cou

Madeline sat with dignity at the corner of the table, her face bathed in the dim light. Her long hair fell gently, giving off an undeniable elegant charm.When Jack approached, a gentle smile colored Madeline's face. "Good evening, Jack.
