After handling business at the police station, Jack returned to his office feeling relieved. Finally, he was no longer entangled in the trap set by the Hawthorne family. Jack felt as though he and Brandon had turned the tide, leaving the Hawthorne family caught up in their own game. At that time, he felt that there was no need to reclaim their actions because they had fallen by themselves. In his office, Jack was getting ready for the press conference scheduled for later that afternoon. He knew that this was an opportunity to clear his name and reveal the truth to the public. This was a watershed moment in his fight to restore his tarnished reputation. Meanwhile, Dylan and Rita Hawthorne were in their office. They were happy and sure that Jack would soon go to jail. They even planned to have fun after the press conference, celebrating their victory in knocking Jack out. But suddenly, Dylan's phone rang. He saw that it was a call from Daniel Collins, their business ally. Dylan immedi
The Hawthorne family, though with annoyed and condescending looks, finally allowed Jack and Brandon to continue with the press conference. Gordon, smugly, said, "Okay, let's hear how Jack will defend himself. Who knows, maybe he's got an interesting story to tell."Jack looked at the reporters sternly and said, "Thank you everyone for being here today. I want to remind you all to record well what I'm about to say."He continued calmly, "I want to tell everyone that I have been cleared of all charges by the police. This is thanks to the solid evidence we have."However, before Jack could finish his statement, Gordon shouted "No way! That's impossible!" He tries to create chaos again.The building's security guards swiftly approached Gordon, responding decisively to his attempt to create chaos. They restricted his movements steadily and issued stern warnings."Sir, please give your cooperation on this event," said one of the security officers in a firm voice, trying to calm the situatio
"Of course! We will celebrate together," Brandon said with a sincere smile."I agree," Ashley replied enthusiastically."Then let's have dinner together. Ash, find a nice place," Jack said happily, a smile on his face.Jack, Ashley, and Brandon also chose a fancy restaurant to celebrate their victory. The restaurant is full of elegant decorations, sparkling lights, and a warm atmosphere. They enjoy a delicious meal while continuing to tell stories and laugh. Their moods were very jovial, and the positive energy was so thick between them.In the middle of a warm dinner, Brandon looked at Ashley tenderly. Jack could see it clearly."Listen, Ashley," Brandon said in a soft voice, trying to convey his interest. "I want to be frank with you. I admire your personality and your intelligence."Ashley smiled as she replied, "Thanks Brandon. We've done a great job as a team.""Right," Brandon said with a smile.Jack could clearly see Brandon's interest in Ashley even though Ashley didn't realiz
The tension in the room is heightened when Gordon proposes a very extreme course of action. "We can finish off Suzzane and her sister Lucy who are out of town. Those who have told the truth!"Mr White, who had previously vigorously defended them, immediately opposed this proposal firmly. "Mr. Hawthorne, that would complicate matters. We could be even more heavily charged."Dylan, who seemed calmer than Gordon, agreed with Mr. White, and he scolded his son. "Mr. White is right, Gordon. We've been too hasty in carrying out this plan. Don't repeat your stupid act again!"However, Rita chose to defend her son, "This is not Gordon's fault. He was just trying to protect us all!"Mr. White tried to defuse the tension by offering a more tactful suggestion, "How about we give Suzzane some money to hush up? I can arrange for the criminal element to be ostensibly removed. This case can be closed quietly."Dylan seemed interested in the suggestion. "Can it be done?"Mr. White thought as he said,
Jack let the warm water soak into his bones, trying to find some enjoyment in the warm touch. However, despite the steam and peace of the morning in the bathroom, the memory of that bitter night still haunted her. How he ran hard, without stopping, across the dark streets to the hospital. It was as if his entire life depended on a faint sliver of hope. But when he finally arrives, a cruel reality drags him down a dark abyss. His mother had abandoned him, meeting his end without a miracle of salvation.A burning grudge, like a burning red ember, had been fueling his heart for years. The memory of the Hawthorne family's treatment of him was etched into every fiber of his soul. They not only deprived her of her mother, but they also refused her help in complete denial. They considered him lowly and worthless, simply because he did not have as much power or wealth as they did. Now, the fire of revenge is growing, ready to scorch everything that is a silent witness to his suffering.Jack d
Jack drives Ashley home after a vital meeting with shareholders of the Hawthorne family business. During the trip, Ashley couldn't help but feel curious."What are your plans next, Jack? The situation in Green Diamond Village is getting worse," she asked, trying to read Jack's expression.Jack smiled and turned to her. "Don't worry, Ash. I have a plan."However, on the way, Ashley received a phone call that sounded a bit confidential. Jack glanced at Ashley's cellphone screen and knew that it was a call from Brandon. Jack couldn't help feeling a little jealous. Even though he knew that he had no right to feel that way, it still bothered him. But he chose to remain silent.“Just pick it up, it's okay,” said Jack.Ashley nodded and then picked up the phone.“Hello, Brandon. Yes, I'm on my way home. Oh no, you're not bothering me, but I'll call you back later,” Ashley said, quickly ending the phone call.Jack was just silent because his suspicions were right, Brandon really liked Ashley.
"Dylan, come on. Swearing at your own son won't solve the problem," said Rita."How can we have a successor company if our only son doesn't understand anything about business!" Dylan exclaimed in frustration.Rita couldn't bear to see her son being reprimanded. Rita immediately stepped forward, defending Gordon."Dylan, this is enough. Don't yell at Gordon again," she demanded in a firm voice.Dylan's eyes flashed with reluctance, but in the end, he relented.“Okay… okay… Our troubles just ended. Tomorrow we will face a new problem. Rest early today," Dylan finally said.The next morning, the atmosphere at the Hawthorne house was anything but ordinary. Dylan and Rita were getting ready to head to the office, but before they could leave, they were stopped in their tracks by an unexpected presence: Gordon.With a more serious look than usual, Gordon approached his parents. "Mom, Dad, are you going to work?" he asked, his voice full of desire to engage."Yes. What's wrong, honey?" she as
“This is impossible! The shares were spread over several people who—”"Who sold me their shares," continued Jack.Dylan was shaking because of the immense anger inside him. Rita snatched the document from Dylan's hand, her eyes widened when she saw the numbers listed. Gordon looked along, and looks of shock crossed their faces. Now, 60% of the shares of the business unit are in Jack's hands.Dylan was shaking because of the immense anger inside him. He couldn't accept this reality. "This is not possible!""The reality is like that," continued Jack calmly, interrupting Dylan's words.Dylan felt as if the ground was shaking beneath his feet. Rita and Gordon looked at the document like they were witnessing a miracle or even a never-ending nightmare.But Dylan didn't want to just give up. He pounded the table angrily. "You're cheating! You're definitely cheating in this!"Jack looked at him calmly, "There is no fraud here, Dylan. All of these transactions were carried out legally and offi
