On the other side, on an artificial island in the Elysian Echo River. A lush, green garden filled with rare plants and countless famous and valuable bonsai trees covered the island, exuding an air of majesty. At the center stood mansions resembling the medieval Vaux-le-Vicomte castle, alongside more than a dozen large Chinese-style houses reminiscent of ancient ducal villas. Behind the architectural complex was a helipad, incredibly grandiose. Theophilus sat on a bamboo chair in the flower garden with a pot of black tea on the table before him. Richard sat across from him. "Mr. Jake, what do you think of this artificial island?" Richard respectfully asked: "While you were away, I've handled everything in Elysian Echo smoothly." "Not bad." Theophilus nodded slightly, deep in thought: "But just Elysian Echo isn't enough. How is the business development overseas?" "Not much progress overseas. Foreigners tend to discriminate against us." Richard said seriously. "Feel free to act. We
“What’s all the commotion?” At that moment, a soft, soothing voice rang out. Amethyst walked over, her face slightly annoyed as she looked at Jena and Savannah. How dare these two block her cousin’s way? She came to seek his help, and if these girls ruined her business, it would be troublesome. Although Wolfgang was her cousin, they hadn’t met for many years, and asking for his help required a proper demeanor. “Miss Walker.” Savannah and Jena immediately changed their expressions, bowing and smiling. Amethyst’s status was indeed very distinguished, with a robust background. They initially intended to flatter Amethyst, establish some connections, and cling to the Walker family. Gaining even a little relationship meant their wealth would keep growing. So, they dared not show unpleasant expressions to someone as influential as Amethyst. “Miss Walker, it wasn’t us who caused trouble, but this sleazy scumbag who pretends to be your friend and wants to infiltrate to meet you. I was
Half an hour later. Theophilus and Amethyst exited the Cloudy Max tea house. Theophilus' face was utterly emotionless, while Amethyst seemed cheerful, laughing heartily as if something amusing had happened. This scene left the security team guarding the gate and Savannah in astonishment. What was going on? Since getting off the plane, Miss Walker had been cold and imposing. Why was she so warm towards this rumored useless fellow? What talent did he possess? How could he be so charming? "Miss Walker, where would you like to go? I know many famous landmarks in Elysian Echo and can guide you." Savannah offered enthusiastically. "No need. You guys can leave." Amethyst replied irritably. "Miss Walker, you can't do that! Our boss ordered us to treat you with the utmost respect. We've reserved a table at the Elysian Echo hotel tonight featuring a feast of delicacies, so please honor us with your presence." Savannah said, casting a disdainful glance at Theophilus. "Especially, Miss Wa
"Pandora, first and foremost, I must inform you that I am a married man. Secondly, Amethyst and I are merely ordinary friends." Theophilus said thoughtfully: "Lastly, I ask you, who told you that Amethyst and I were together?" Pandora's face revealed a look of distress. She hesitated for a moment before saying: "It was Savannah and Nolan who called and told me." "What fools." Theophilus coldly uttered, not saying anything further as he turned and walked towards the back row of seats. These two from the Connor family were seeking their demise. Last time, he had killed Clitus in the Connor family's house, but it seemed they hadn't learned their lesson. Amethyst looked at Pandora with a provocative gaze before getting in the car, and the driver started the engine and drove away. Pandora clenched her fist, watching Theophilus's receding figure attentively. Her heart was filled with turmoil, knowing that the two people from the Connor family were using her, but she couldn't help hersel
"Stand still and let me handle this!" Jethro yelled furiously as he charged forward, repeatedly slapping Dante in the face, leaving everyone in the office stunned. "Dante, did you dare disrespect Mr. Miller, our CEO, just now? Are you seeking death?" Jethro interrogates with an icy tone. Dante's face was marked with fingerprints as he covered his face and dared not to retort. Still reeling, Edric kicked Dante's knee, forcing him to kneel immediately. "Apologize to CEO Miller at once." Edric said coldly. "Sorry, I was wrong, Ms. Miller. I spoke out of turn and won't dare to do it again." Dante sobbed as he repeatedly bowed his head. This scene left everyone in the office amazed. Who would have thought that Dulcie was so talented and influential? They never imagined that Jethro, a wealthy and well-respected figure in Elysian Echo, would personally intervene, and it seemed that Jethro's subordinates also held her in high regard. How strange, they thought. Everyone looked at Dulcie
In just half an hour, the car arrived at the Bevis Mansion. The Bevis Mansion is situated next to Sky World Lake, with a unique landscape and vast grounds reminiscent of a fortress. Within it are clusters of luxurious villas that look truly majestic. This property belongs to the Walker family, and only those with wealth, power, and high status in Sky World City can reside here. The car entered the mansion's grounds, and Theophilus and Amethyst stepped out. Theophilus sat and drank tea in the mansion's reception area while Amethyst went to find her grandfather and other family elders, informing them that she had discovered a divine intention. The tea was black tea, which Theophilus leisurely sipped. Suddenly, a loud clang sounded. Out of nowhere, someone knocked the black tea cup from his hand, shattering it on the floor. Harold entered the mansion, glaring at Theophilus with a menacing expression as if wanting to devour him alive. "What's this all about?" Theophilus asked cold
"Cousin, I apologize for causing you any trouble." Amethyst spoke, her heart filled with unease. "It's nothing." Theophilus replied indifferently. It was just an empty vessel making a loud noise, posing no threat to him as long as he behaved. If they dared to cause trouble, they would have no one to blame but themselves. Judging a book by its cover has been a lesson passed down for centuries in Empyria, but those fools couldn't understand it. They would forever be a group with limited vision. "Cousin, I'll arrange for you to stay in a private villa tonight." Amethyst said thoughtfully: "I've already spoken with our family elder, tomorrow, we will visit his villa." Theophilus nodded slightly as if contemplating something. After old man Walker fell ill, it was inevitable that his villa would be closely guarded. Waiting one night wouldn't make any difference to him. "Amethyst, what exactly are your grandfather's symptoms? When did he fall ill?" Theophilus asked. Amethyst explained
"Ha ha, so you're the notorious Theophilus – the quack doctor, huh?" Donald's face was full of arrogance: "It took me thirty, forty years of studying to dare to call myself a divine healer. With your young age, I doubt you even have the qualifications to be a mere assistant to me!" "Truly shameless, a notorious useless son-in-law from Elysian Echo comes to Radiant Harbor and tries to pass himself off as a divine healer? Can someone be so brazenly deceitful?" Donald spoke without any courtesy, his expression full of disdain. Theophilus gave a cold laugh, saying: "I'd like to ask how you treated old Walker's illness? What's the condition? What method did you use?" Donald's face still bore an air of arrogance, saying: "I used my family's traditional acupuncture technique, regulating the blood flow for old Walker, and prescribed a tonic prescription. In no more than seven days, he should recover as usual. The old man is weak, with poor circulation of Qi and blood, causing him to fall in
