Pandora's face turned as red as an apple, Theophilus looking down on her, his actions and words highly invasive and utterly outrageous. She puffed her cheeks, looking both wronged and angry at Theophilus. Had anyone ever been so arrogant and audacious with the young mistress of the Jones family before? Not to mention touching her, no man who dared to point a finger at her face had ever gotten away unscathed. Theophilus watched Pandora's cold and beautiful face turn into a foolishly angry expression. Her face showed anger, then sorrow, then fear, like a student who made a mistake but was unwilling to accept the teacher's reprimand. It was only now that she seemed her age, revealing her youthful innocence. "I thought the young mistress of the Jones family was a rare talented lady, unflappable even if mountains crumbled. Turns out, she's just a little girl after all." Theophilus chuckled, then turned and walked away. Hearing Theophilus's words, Pandora's face grew even redder. Utter
"Hmph!" Anselm couldn't help but coldly snort, looking very serious at Theophilus: "Theophilus, what exactly are you doing? You just caused a big scene at Treasure House, even daring to offend the master of the Jones family, ruining his reputation. And then what? After leaving Treasure House, instead of going home, you sneak around with other women!" "What do you actually think of my daughter?" Anselm rarely showed anger, but now he looked at Theophilus furiously. "It's clear, isn't it? I've seen through Theophilus." Ariel coldly said: "He's just trying to take advantage of Dulcie. So when Layla introduced the Jones family's nephew to Dulcie, he showed his petty nature, not wanting to see Dulcie do well! Afraid that Dulcie will look down on him if she rises high. Feeling inferior to the Jones' nephew, he resorts to petty schemes to tarnish others' reputations." "Theophilus, if you have any skills, why don't you earn your own money? Just clinging to Dulcie for financial gain. You kno
"Theophilus, even if kills you, you won't admit to going out looking for women, we have nothing more to discuss!" Anselm said gravely: "Do you know how much pressure our family has to bear because of what you did tonight?" "All the Millers!" Anselm became increasingly angry, veins popping: "Everyone's calling to interrogate me, asking why I let you go to Treasure House? Why provoke the Jones family, are you trying to harm them?" "Where should I put this old face of mine? It's all because of your ridiculous actions, making me hated by everyone in the Miller family!" Anselm said furiously: "They're all threatening and warning our family!" "Theophilus, Maynard has already messaged the nobility!" Ariel said seriously: "Now he has warned the Miller family, asking if Theophilus is still one of them? Pressuring Dulcie's uncle for a clear answer. If he dares to say you're still a Miller member, he will kick the entire Miller family out of Elysian Echo's elite society! The Millers are all ca
"You can't say that, mom, Maynard and I have only met once!" Dulcie said helplessly. "It's clear that the master of the Jones family fell in love with you at first sight. Otherwise, why gift something worth millions? Even when embarrassed by Theophilus, he didn't blame our family." Ariel rambled: "Think about it, today you've seen Theophilus's true nature, lacking ability and not caring if we live or die, causing trouble, heartlessly chasing other women! Look, Maynard has already helped you, it's for your good to get away from wolf-hearted Theophilus. Your second aunt also secretly told me, connecting with the Jones will secure a powerful and luxurious life!" Dulcie bit her lip, saying nothing, knowing her mother was blinded by wealth and captivated by Maynard's gift, now her words falling on deaf ears. "Moreover, Dulcie, your father's heart isn't well, and our family has been frightened so much because of Theophilus." Ariel advised earnestly: "If you let Theophilus continue his ant
Thinking for a moment, Jethro saw this as an opportunity to impress Theophilus. He said earnestly: "Mr. Jake, our company holds a hundred percent stake in Flowers On The Prairie. I have significant influence here. Who is this blind fool? I'll take care of it for you!" Elsewhere he couldn't guarantee, but in Elysian Echo, especially in Flowers On The Prairie, Jethro was confident of his standing. "Kicked out by my mother-in-law." Theophilus said with a laugh, carrying a hint of self-mockery. Jethro was taken aback, unsure of how to continue the conversation. He thought to himself for a moment, having heard of Theophilus before, knowing that Theophilus was a son-in-law in the Miller family, and outside rumors pegged Theophilus as a useless, incompetent man, even shunned by the Millers. And weren't Mr. Jake's in-laws part of the Miller family? Jethro scorned such matters, thinking the Millers didn't recognize a Buddha even when he was right in front of them. A great person like Theop
Half an hour later. In a magnificent and luxurious villa located in the heart of the Dragon Snow district, Theophilus stood with his hands clasped, leaning against the balcony railing on the third floor, admiring the rippling waters of the river. Across the river lay the bustling city center of Elysian Echo, with its towering buildings closely packed together, brightly lit. The view from here was truly beautiful, offering a panoramic vista of Elysian Echo City. Theophilus seemed quite pleased with this villa. Spanning over a thousand square meters, the villa included a vast estate, a swimming pool, and a garage. The interior boasted a spacious living room, along the hallway were over a dozen bedrooms, and the winding staircases on each floor added to the grandeur and luxury of the place. The decor was classically styled, with furnishings all made of wood, complemented by top-of-the-line, fashionable luxury items, giving it an opulent appearance. He had spent three hundred million
Moreover, everyone knows that for hundreds of years, Elysian Echo has seen the rise and fall of many second-tier powerful families, but only these three have stood tall and unshaken, deeply rooted like great trees. Generations of these families continuously produce talented individuals, naturally positioned at the finish line. They have complex, intertwined relationships in politics, commerce, the military, and even the underworld, while also holding vast wealth. Therefore, it's clear why they are known as the foremost powerful families, not just any upstart families that suddenly found wealth and rose to power. "Mr. Jake, when I return, I will compile everything I know about the distribution and all the hidden enterprises of the Charlie family into a document and hand it over to you." Jethro said seriously: "This includes the power behind each influential member of the Charlie family, with whom I've had interactions, so I have some understanding." Theophilus took a sip and nodded i
"Exactly, Miss, Theophilus is definitely not ordinary like you seems. Yesterday, when you asked us to secretly follow Theophilus, I found out that after being thrown out of the house, he went to the Snow Dragon villa area with someone named Jethro Lee." Yellow said seriously: "But the Snow Dragon villa is heavily guarded, with no blind spots and surveillance cameras everywhere. We didn’t dare to mess with the security company's personnel there, so we don’t know what Theophilus was doing in Snow Dragon villa." "Then I investigated this Jethro guy. He's the CEO of a real estate company in Elysian Echo, with some economic power." Blue added seriously. "Oh, what does it mean if a pitiful guy like him goes to Snow Dragon villa?" Pandora said discontentedly, then waved her hand dismissively: "It's obvious. Last night, after that pitiful guy was thrown out of his house and pressured by the Miller family elders, he must have been scared of Maynard. So he sought help from friends. I guess thi
