"Oh? A conflict?" Anna looked at Hammarby: "Whoever offended Mr. Jake, step forward and apologize to him right now.""You must understand that Mr. Jake is the only guest I personally invited to this event. Disrespecting him is equivalent to disrespecting my Cromir family." Anna's voice turned cold."Huh?""Oh!"After Anna officially acknowledged Theophilus's status, everyone present was wide-eyed and astonished.Theophilus was really Anna's special guest? And the only one at that?But why had they never heard of Theophilus in Radiant Harbor before?Who was he, to be held in such high esteem by the Cromir family?Hammarby and Sabrina turned pale.At this point, neither dared to look at Theophilus anymore, standing silently, almost paralyzed.Anna was known for her gentle manner of speaking, but her background represented the Cromir family, a leading force in the Western underworld.Such a powerful backdrop was enough to suffocate each of them.Offending the Cromir family was akin to co
Meanwhile,At the Mortal Orchid building, on the thirty-third floor, in a luxurious Western-style room,Theophilus sat upright on a salon chair, holding a cup of steaming black tea, slowly savoring it.Opposite him was Anna, smiling delightedly, her beautiful eyes roaming over Theophilus. She wore a daringly short white dress, her crossed legs revealing her stunningly smooth thighs.Theophilus spoke indifferently: "What does the Cromir family want with Radiant Harbor?""Actually, it's quite simple. Our family wants to replace all positions held by the Bright family in Radiant Harbor." Anna said: "We will fully support you in overthrowing Gabriel. And as for the pressure that the Bright family exerts on you, we can completely help you counter it.""Dear Mr. Jake, let me be frank with you, the Bright family in the West is our Cromir family's archenemy."Theophilus's lips curled into a cynical smile, speaking casually: "Your Cromir family wants quite a lot, don't they?"Clearly, the Crom
In major families like the Cromir's, marriages have always been political alliances.Though Anna was the heir of the Cromir family, she still needed a powerful husband to consolidate her position within the family.And Theophilus was an extremely suitable marriage prospect, even capable of reclaiming what was lost."Old Sanchez, please help me with this matter…" Anna's cheeks were flushed, her eyes sparkling, as if she was thinking of something."Right, Old Sanchez, the matter of the Bright family, I'll need you to handle it thoroughly for me." Anna suddenly remembered something and said sternly: "This is also my first collaboration with Theophilus; you must do it well.""Don't worry, Miss Anna, I will pave the way for you." Old Sanchez said earnestly, bowing.With that, Old Sanchez disappeared from the room like a shadow....In the Glass International Building.In the CEO's office, Theophilus sat upright in an armchair, holding a cup of tea.He savored the tea while gently spinning
Darian was almost sweating profusely, recounting the adverse news to Gabriel in a trembling voice.Indeed, the situation in Radiant Harbor has become unmanageable.The Gary family has been disastrously defeated on all fronts.Whether in the light or in the dark.They could not defeat Theophilus!Cornered and desperate.This is the most fitting description for Gabriel, who was once a legend in Radiant Harbor."I never expected to end up in this situation..." Gabriel lifted his hand to his forehead, his voice trembling.Gabriel's commercial empire in Radiant Harbor has been so oppressed by Theophilus that it is gasping for air, battered and teetering on the brink of collapse.It could be said that, within less than ten days, the Gary family could declare bankruptcy.This was an outcome Gabriel never expected!He originally thought that by bringing someone from another region like Theophilus to Radiant Harbor, he could fish in troubled waters and do as he pleased.But unexpectedly, Theop
Theophilus had returned to Radiant Harbor.In Radiant Harbor, the situation was settled.The Trade Association, the financial and business sectors in Radiant Harbor.Everything was now in Theophilus's hands.Theophilus, solemnly replacing Gabriel, became the controller of the commercial order in Radiant Harbor.Chris took over the operation of the Jake Corporation on his behalf.The Jake Corporation naturally emerged as a new and powerful economic empire in Radiant Harbor.Joaquin developed the Gonzalez Corporation at Quantum Ridge, maintaining an alliance with Theophilus.Cromir Anna, having aided in resolving the Bright family's acceleration issue, Theophilus agreed to let her take over all the assets and influence of the Bright family in Radiant Harbor. Consequently, the Cromir family branch smoothly became the leading goat in the circle of foreign corporate magnates in Radiant Harbor.Without a doubt, Cromir Anna was Theophilus' supporter in Radiant Harbor. Without Theophilus, she
Theophilus furrowed his brow, the matter of Division Lightroom Sect in Radiant Harbor, with Hayden as the Young Master of Lightroom Sect coming forward, was expected.But Eleanor's issue was nonsensical.Eleanor, flaunting her Young Mistress status, and Hayden, her brother, going crazy over her?"Mr. Jake, you seem very busy, I'll take my leave now." Anna, standing beside, very astutely remarked.She wasn't acquainted with Hayden, but observing his demeanor, she could tell his background was significant, seemingly having important matters to discuss with Theophilus.Theophilus nodded: "You may leave.""Alright, Mr. Jake, until next time." Anna smartly nodded, waved her hand, and confidently exited the office.Hayden slightly squinted, a flash of anger in his eyes.Theophilus had just been chatting and laughing with Cromir Anna right in front of him.This was clearly a disregard for Hayden, a disregard for the Radisson family in Radiant Harbor.Being engaged to the Radisson family and
Initiating an attack only for his internal strength to be shockingly rebounded, still feeling discomfort now, with internal energy piercing through his organs, as if he would endure the weight of a thousand pounds at any moment.He truly was no match for Theophilus.Previously, he had naively guessed that Theophilus's battle with Nameless was a sham, thinking he only relied on brute strength to withstand and wasn't much stronger than Nameless.Now, looking back, how ridiculous those thoughts were!How could he casually guess the cunning and unfathomable Theophilus?"Sir Young Master, Grandmaster Jake...", Preston solemnly corrected his address for Theophilus: "Grandmaster Jake is definitely not ordinary.""Sir Young Master, you must also be careful when competing..."After solemnly finishing his statement, Preston coughed up a few mouthfuls of fresh blood, gasping for breath as he lay prostrate on the ground.He no longer possessed the courage to confront Theophilus, perhaps having no
"Is the photo Eleanor sent real? Theophilus, is he really that kind of philanderer?" Dulcie bit her lip, looking very displeased.She took out a photograph from the drawer. In a lavish hall, a stunning blonde sat in the lap of a man, her arms around his neck.Another photo showed Theophilus and the blonde woman entering a luxurious room together.These photos, pieced together, truly infuriated Dulcie, almost driving her mad with jealousy.Although Theophilus's face wasn't clearly visible, his posture indicated certain infidelity!Dulcie grew angrier the more she thought about it, almost fainting from rage.And these photos were delivered by that madwoman Eleanor, which for Dulcie, felt like a great insult!She chose to trust Theophilus regarding Eleanor’s matter.But with this beautiful blonde, there was no concrete evidence.Dulcie found it increasingly difficult to trust Theophilus.Her heart ached, a deep, wrenching pain."Theophilus, what kind of person are you really? I trusted y
