Jasmine's face contorted, feeling very insulted. She used to be her grandfather's favorite grand-daughter.

But after the incident with that scum Henry and her inability to manage the gallery, her grandfather has gradually grown distant from her.

"It's about Radiance Gallery. Didn't Oscar assure us that with his well proof plan, that gallery wouldn't last a week. Look at this," She slammed her phone on the desk angrily.

Grandfather Wilson was incredibly displeased at her rude attitude but he still reached out and picked up the phone since he was the closest to it.

He adjusted his glass frame and read the words displayed on it. His wrinkled eyes widened in disbelief. "What? How is this..."

"Father, let me see that," Edward frowned and collected the phone. Soon, his brows also furrowed after reading the news.

"Shouldn't the gallery have shut down by now? How could it be hosting Laurence Whitmore's seventieth birthday banquet?" Jasmine didn't bother to hide her hatred.

    A hush fell upon the hall as the veil was pulled off, revealing a picturesque painting. The guests in the hall were completely entranced by the dazzling and serene painting that inexplicably filled them with calmness.They felt even if this painting was to enter a national contest, it would directly beat every other painting in the world and make history. They had never seen anything like it before."Is that really a painting? I want one too!""Master Caldwell announced his retirement some years ago. Who expected he would make a comeback with such an ethereal painting?""Did Master Caldwell really paint that in this gallery? It seems I have to purchase more paintings. I don't mind paying triple the price for something like that!"Murmurs filled the hall as the guests pointed excitedly at the painting. Laurence Whitmore also looked pleased with this gift. As a matter of fact, it was the best birthday gift one could have given him."Very good... I expected nothing less from a master li

    When Savannah wandered off the group to get a drink, she instinctively looked over and was surprised to see Kian standing alone. The woman from earlier was nowhere to be seen. She frowned and headed towards him. He sensed her displeasure and was confused. "What's wrong? Did something happen again?" Didn't the advertisement go well just now? Why does she look a bit unhappy? Moreover, she was looking around him as if searching for someone. Although Kian was a great general who made decisive decisions on the battlefield, he seemed to be low on EQ and was completely oblivious to the reason she looked irked. Besides, the possibility of Savannah feeling a bit uneasy about Vivienne would never have crossed his mind. Seeing his expectant expression, Savannah regained her composure and felt she was overreacting. Should it matter if he and that unfamiliar woman were close with each other? "Nothing... It's just... You've been standing here alone for a while. Don't you need to come up

    "Father, why do you have to hit him to make your opinion known?!" Bridget was unhappy that grandfather Wilson seems to take pleasure in hitting her husband frequently nowadays. She signaled to a servant to get her the first aid kit. Grandfather Wilson snorted and turned his face away. "Would I have to smack him with the little energy I have if he wasn't so foolish? Why do I have to teach him every single thing?!" Edward gritted his teeth, feeling extremely aggrieved but before he could speak, grandfather Wilson continued, "The children are right. We have to take that gallery back or snatch it away if possible!" Penelope, Julian and Jasmine all nodded in satisfaction at their grandfather's words. Edward clenched his fists and ignored the blood streaming down his face as he retorted, "Do you all think we can easily take away the gallery from that girl after it has projected to fame? Will she agree to it? Besides, we signed a contract, giving away that gallery ourselves." "W

    The fake smiles on the faces of the Wilson's family froze as they stared at Savannah's cold, distant expression in disbelief. Had she really just called them beggars? Had she really just ordered the security guards to throw them out? Grandfather Wilson's ears twitched. Savannah had never acted so unruly toward him before. In fact, she had always endured the ill treatment he inflicted on her five years ago and had never once questioned his decisions. How could she speak to him so rudely now? No... It couldn’t be. He must be growing too old, surely he had heard wrong. THUD! THUD! THUD! Only after hearing the heavy footsteps of the security guards approaching did they come to their senses. Several security guards surrounded them, ready to make a move. The entire Wilson family trembled with humiliation and embarrassment, their faces twisting into expressions of discomfort and shame. "You unfilial grand-daughter!" Grandfather shouted furiously, tapping his walking stick on

    "You actually dare to be so rebellious! Can you bear cutting off ties with us?" Julian scoffed angrily. Why was this bitch acting so high and mighty because of a small fortune?"Hey! Let me go!'' Penelope screamed as a security guard grabbed her roughly, yanking her roughly. The rest of the Wilson family also faced the same treatment.Grandfather Wilson could no longer hold on and directly pulled his last trick. "You rascal! Even if you cut ties with me, your father will still recognize me! He is his father's son, he will listen to me!"His words made Savannah stop in her tracks. Her expression faltered and her body trembled. This reaction was because grandfather Wilson's words were right.Her father valued the Wilson's family more than anyone else. He cherished their family ties otherwise he wouldn't have willingly drop the charges against Edward and forgive him.She was the only one who knew how great his desire to return to the family was.

    In a family hall, people from the two top families Gray and Sinclair had gathered for a meeting. Some people assembled to give the reports from their investigations. "Greetings... My men have gathered news that the Timeless series paintings have garnered a lot of orders from many influential people all over Valoria country.""Yes... People from the capital Valoria region have begun to demand for it," another affirmed the previous information. "Yes... I also have news that word has gotten out of Valoria and orders have begun to flow in from overseas," Another stepped up. "Old master," the last man standing came forward with a veiled painting and a smug smile. "I spent a lot to acquire this painting from a third party."Thomas Sinclair and Jonathan Gray exchanged a happy look. The latter collected the veiled painting and tore off its veil. His eyes widened as he caressed its surface. It was indeed a beauty to behold."How much did it cost?" Thomas Sinclair also arched a brow in surpr

    Mortimer Blackwood was having lunch with two of his grandchildren. The ones he had called out from the meeting the other day. They were Christopher and Charlotte Blackwood, the children of Mortimer's fourth son whom he secretly had outside marriage years ago. The dining room was filled with silence as they ate peacefully. Christopher occasionally exchanged a look with his sister. His grandfather suddenly called them to dine with him which was surprising and suspicious. The old man hasn't been in a good mood since the last meeting the other day. They also haven't been able to contact Master Theo which made his mood worsen. But today, he suddenly asked them to eat with him. In the past, didn't the old man only dine with Keaton, the heir apparent and their second cousin, Kyle? But Keaton was terribly sick and could no longer accompany their grandfather. Kyle on the other hand had a fallout with the old man due to the previous incident.

    On a luxurious golf course in Cascadia, three old men walked together, talking and laughing heartily as they made their way to the starting point of their game. A young caddy followed closely behind, assisting them with their equipment."Alright old men," The tallest amongst them tipped his hat when they got to the first tee. "Let's see who still has a good swing in them.""Don't be so confident, old man Carrington. I've been practicing," The second old man chuckled as he selected a driver from his bag.He took a practice swing, the sound of the club slicing the air sharp and controlled. The young caddy handed him the ball, and he stepped up to the tee, positioning it with care.His friends watched as he pulled back for a full, powerful swing. The ball soared into the clear blue sky, sailing far down the fairway before landing smoothly, rolling for several more yards.With a smirk, he turned to his friends. "Beat that."Next up was the patriarch of Windsor. He was the eldest of the th

    "Go and prepare the other ammunition," Margaret turned to the salesman, obviously in a foul mood. "In an hour, we'll head out.""What about this guy..." The salesman pointed at the barely conscious Kian. "Let him be," Margaret waved her hands impatiently and sneered. "He's already in this state. It's impossible for him to run now."The salesman nodded helplessly then hurried to carry out her instructions. Together, they checked their ammunition, completely ignoring Kian.The latter laid on the ground with his eyes closed. From afar, one would think he was already dead considering the bloody pool he was in.But he was still breathing faintly. Although the bleeding has ceased now and he won't die in Margaret's hands, the same can't be said for later.The imperial families of Cascadia suddenly contacted Margaret. Their intentions were obvious. He definitely won't be able to escape death later. Those imperial families won't let him go.As Kian laid still, many ways of how those imperial

    The knife aimed at Kian's forehead halted midway as the phone's chimes filled the serene environment. Margaret hissed and dropped the knife as she reached into her pocket to retrieve the phone that was ringing.It was a disposable phone that she had gotten on a whim. It has never rang since the whole trouble started so Margaret was confused about who would be calling her and how they got her private number.Various thoughts flashed through Margaret's mind as she looked at the unknown number displaying on the phone screen. But just when the call was about to end, Margaret held her breath and answered the call."Margaret, do you want to escape a death sentence?"

She doesn't know the other party but they know her and from the looks of things, they have been searching for her.However, she remained cautious and didn't speak.

    On a small ship not far away from Jeju island, Ian Sinclair laid comfortably on a chaise longue. He seemed to be in a merry mood, sipping wine and enjoying a massage from two sexy, scantily dressed women.He was watching everything that was playing out at Jeju island on a big tablet in his hand. When he saw Kian dragged into the island with life threatening injuries, he smoked a pipe happily.Kian was so badly injured it was evident he wouldn't survive! Haha! Until those criminals decide to take his life, he is currently useless and is like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered!Ian smiled smugly. The deaths of the imperial family members who died at the hall that day will be avenged today!

    At the cave, Margaret was acting all gleeful. She knew waiting to see what happened would be worth it! That bastard couldn't hold on any longer and finally compromised. Very good!She casually tossed the gun in her hand and looked at Savannah whose face was ugly. Resentment flickered in her eyes as they darted to the three people sitting helplessly.Killing these three and then taking Kian's life would be the perfect revenge. But to think of it, will Kian really not retaliate like he promised? She doesn't believe that! However, he already promised. Seeing that, she couldn't touch his bottom line. Since her initial goal was Kian, what did it matter if she let Savannah and the others go?If she is able to kill Kian, it doesn't matter at all. Thinking of this, Margaret no longer hesitated and directly waved at the last salesman that had remained with her."Take them out but don't release them until you have captured that bastard!"The salesman's face visibly stiffened and he cursed inwa

He doesn't want to see any of them ever get hurt.But now, Margaret was holding them captive and their lives were in danger. What if Margaret or her accomplices couldn't resist and hurt one of them? What if he really underestimated Margaret and after the four hours ultimatum he has given her, she doesn't release them? Kian's face was as calm as the sea but his heart was in turmoil. More thoughts flooded his mind, adding to his anxiety.Time passed by slowly and within a blink of an eye, three hours had passed.

    "Sister-in-law, five years ago, you remember what became of the Blackwood's family. Kian was set up and falsely accused. He had to go to jail and even forcefully sign a divorce that gave away all his assets to Sinclair's family. My aunty and uncle couldn't handle what had become of their son so they committed suicide," Vivienne began to speak; her eyes tearing up.Savannah was silent. She hadn't known much about the Sinclair's family years ago because she had been embroiled in troubles of her own. As a matter of fact, Kian had been the cause of her woes. But hearing Vivienne's words caught her off guard. How did she never know about all this? Perhaps, she had been so filled with hatred for Kian that she didn't pay attention to any news concerning him."Even Kian was sentenced to death. That day, my father had rescued him from the death gallows and brought him home. I have never seen anyone as battered and broken as him. Sister-in-law, his legs had been broken almost rendering him cri

The back of his clothes quickly turned red with blood.His eyes widened in despair and he tried to take another step in an attempt to escape but—BANG!"Ah!" Savannah shrieked as the manager dropped to the ground weakly and limp. The other salesmen who saw what happened were shocked and frightened!"Margaret, how dare you?!""You crazy bitch! We won't spare you!""We won't spare you!"THWIP!Margaret's eyes were cold and fierce as she pulled the trigger again without any hesitation. THWIP!THWIP!Low gunshots rang out and the salesmen fell to the ground. The last salesman beside Margaret silently took out a knife from his pocket. Walking over briskly, he gritted his teeth and raised his hand repeatedly, fiercely stabbing his colleagues with a crazed look.SPLAT!Blood splattered everywhere and the figures on the ground trembled violently until there was no life in them anymore.
