Even though Theophilus has connections with Mysterious Royal-X and great strength, at this crucial moment, only the Jake family could offer him help.This is why the grandmother firmly decided to make Theophilus a candidate for the heir.Because only then could they attract a talented person like Theophilus.The grandmother paused for a moment and then continued: "Eldest son, who do you think is better, Theophilus or Ernesto?""This..." Whitney's expression became more cautious.The grandmother's questions were very sensitive.Jake family's Oldest Young Master, Ernesto Jake, is currently Theophilus's only rival.Oldest Young Master Ernesto is now over thirty years old, very prestigious within the Jake family in Wolves, Ernesto's temperament is more mature than Newton, with broad connections, a person of complete talent and virtue, Ernesto holds a very high status in the Jake family.Ernesto's background is also extremely dramatic.He was not born from the orthodox Jake family, but is
"Theophilus, hello, my name is Ernesto." Ernesto said first with a smile: "In terms of seniority, I am older than you, but there isn't much age difference between us, so let's treat each other as equals in the future."In the reclusive world, there's an unwritten rule that seniority doesn't depend on age but on martial prowess.Meaning, in the martial world, strength determines one's standing, not age.Theophilus said: "Hello, Ernesto.""The Oldest Young Master, please sit down and have some tea, then we can talk." Seymour said hospitably.Ernesto smiled and said: "Twelfth uncle doesn't need to be so formal, I didn't come today for tea. The elder lady sent me to deliver a message to Theophilus."After speaking, he looked at Theophilus, his expression turning serious: "Theophilus, the elder lady orders you to go to Celestria within three days to resolve the Phillips family matter. Related information will be given to you when you arrive at the Jake corporation in Celestria.""It seems
Five minutes later.They arrived at the reception on the twenty-eighth floor."What did you say? You people are here to take over the Walter Gemstone Corporation? Lady, are you out of your mind? Haven't you looked at yourself, what a joke?"A female secretary in a vest looked at Dulcie with disdain, her cold laugh filled with mockery.Theophilus, sitting on a sofa, slightly frowned and said: "Call the company's director to talk to me.""You want to meet Director Rhodes? Look at yourself, who do you think you are to demand a meeting with Director Rhodes? Do you know how busy Director Rhodes is? He's out dining with economic leaders today, he doesn't have time for nobodies like you." the secretary said with disdain, her head held high.She judged Theophilus's non-brand clothing and immediately categorized him as worthless.Usually, she welcomed VIPs who helped the director, everyone dressed neatly, with an extraordinary demeanor.How could Theophilus compare?Daring to claim he was here
"From now on, as my wife's company develops in Fresno, I hope not to see this kind of thing happen again." Theophilus mentioned offhandedly.Lorenzo smiled obsequiously, respectfully saying: "Rest assured, as long as your wife gives the word, I will spare no effort!"Theophilus nodded slightly, no longer speaking.He wasn't the type to hold grudges against these petty individuals. But if they intended to harm Dulcie, then they definitely needed a lesson they would remember for a long time."Dulcie, let's go see your office." Theophilus said, smiling at Dulcie."Yes." Dulcie obediently nodded.The two of them proceeded toward the director's office, leaving behind a pale-faced Lorenzo, Director Rhodes lying on the ground like a dead dog, completely drained of strength and unable to move, while the secretary had been scared to the point of nearly fainting.Truly terrifying!What status did this young couple possess that could command such respect from the most powerful and wealthy figure
Theophilus didn't expect Phineas and the true man Stuart to have such enmity.After pondering for a while, Oldest brother felt Phineas's speculation wasn't without reason.This time Stuart leaving Sammy province is clearly because of Newton's death, the murderer being him will surely be targeted by him.Just when Phineas has a grudge against him, being in cooperation with him, will surely be noticed by him.And the matter of the Jake family sending him to Celestria is being spread throughout the shadowy world, it's quite significant, surely Stuart wants to cause trouble in Celestria."Tu Kong, did you mention the meeting of the six shadowy clans earlier?" Theophilus suddenly thought of something, skeptically asked: "What's that about?"Although Theophilus is well aware of the origins of the major powers in the shadowy world like the back of his hand, the intricate and complex relationships between these forces are not very clear to him.Phineas glanced at Theophilus, pondered for a mo
Lesley withdrew in embarrassment.After admonishing his disciple, Elder Mirageon warmly smiled at Theophilus, saying: "Young Master Alexander, please take a seat."Theophilus calmly entered the private room and confidently sat in the chair at the head of the table.Elder Mirageon sat beside him.A moment later, Lesley brought two cups of tea, her respectful demeanor towards her master in front of Theophilus, recalling her own heedless shouting in his presence, made her extremely embarrassed."This time, Young Master Alexander, do you have any instructions?" After Lesley had left, Elder Mirageon cautiously asked Theophilus.Theophilus remained silent, sipping tea."Young Master Alexander, I heard the elder lady of the Jake family asked you to go to Celestria for the big six-family meeting of the reclusive world with Oldest Young Master Ernesto." Elder Mirageon slowly said: "Do you need me to mobilize in Celestria?""I have some connections in Celestria, and my disciples are also there,
Young Mistress Jake Natalie, Deputy CEO of the Jake Corporation's Ethereal Nexus, the third-ranking member on the board, not only possesses immense wealth but is also admired by many talented men of Ethereal Nexus.When Young Mistress Jake was in Fresno, she was praised as the top beauty, and two years ago, moving to develop in Celestria's Ethereal Nexus, she became even more famous, pursued by numerous handsome and talented men of Ethereal Nexus, including even the Oldest Young Master of the Phillips family.Such a high-born lady, how could an ordinary person disdain her?This man trying to scam actually wants Young Mistress Jake to come out to meet him?If his actions and words were to reach the ears of Celestria's elite, who knows how many wealthy heirs would vent their anger for Young Mistress Jake, skinning and deboning him."I'll say it one last time, call the person in the car out to see me", Theophilus said, his expression unchanged.Behaving so arrogantly, the driver hit some
While walking on the road, Leona was also scolded by Young Mistress Jake over the car incident, feeling extremely uncomfortable, holding a grudge, now all vented on Theophilus.Just having returned to the company, and this Theophilus dares to cause trouble here?Truly a fool bringing disgrace upon himself.Theophilus remained unfazed, simply nodding a few times."Tell the highest manager of your corporation that Theophilus has arrived. Additionally, tell them to give me an explanation."After speaking, Theophilus clasped his hands, turned, and walked away."What? Asking the highest manager for an explanation?" Leona sneered, watching Theophilus's retreating figure: "That's hilarious. Who do you think you are? Just a piece of cheap trash!"Leona snorted, and after Theophilus had left, she couldn't help but hurl a couple more insults behind his back.Ding dong.At that moment, the elevator door suddenly rang.Natalie, wearing an elegantly snug long dress, exuded a composed and noble aur
