Guests were enjoying themselves, chatting and laughing in various corners of the island. However, at the edge of the dock, Zane stood alone, his eyes fixed on the horizon, savoring a rare moment of solitude."Zane," a soft voice called out behind him.Zane turned and smiled as he saw Claire approaching. "Claire, come join me," he invited.She carried two slender glasses filled with a bright red drink. Her steps were graceful, her smile gentle, as she handed one glass to Zane. "This is for you," she said softly."Thank you, Claire," Zane replied, accepting the glass.Claire looked at him curiously.

The luxurious Four Dreams Hotel, renowned as one of the finest, gleamed brightly that night. Guests in glamorous attire stepped out of their lavish cars, wearing their finest dresses and suits. A red carpet guided them to the ballroom, adorned with silk drapes, crystal chandeliers, and exquisite white roses. The soft glow of the lights and the gentle hum of the orchestra added to the atmosphere of luxury and excitement. Every detail, from the dishes to the service, was meticulously prepared to welcome the special occasion of Zane and Claire's wedding. Claire stood in front of a large mirror, her magnificent wedding gown fitting her perfectly. Cecilia and Emma stood in awe beside her. “Wow, Ms. Claire, you look absolutely stunning. For the first time, I’m genuinely envious of a woman,” Cecilia chuckled. “Yeah, Claire, you're the luckiest woman alive, marrying Zane.

The warm sun beamed down on Zane’s face, bringing a smile to his lips as he walked towards the grand estate of the Amber family. Today was a special day - his second wedding anniversary with the woman he loved and cherished - Nora Amber.Zane was deeply appreciative of Mr. Ronald Amber, Nora's grandfather, and leader of the prestigious Amber family, for taking him in and giving him a chance at a better life. After years of hardship and poverty, Zane had found himself betrothed to the love of his life, Nora - something that still felt like a distant dream.It wasn't the luxurious lifestyle that came with being part of the Amber family that made Zane happy. It was the love and acceptance they showed him. Growing up without knowing his family background left an emptiness in Zane's heart, but becoming part of the respected and esteemed Amber family filled that void.As he approached the grand mansion where Nora was waiting for him, Zane thought about all the changes his life had undergone
Zane reclined in the plush leather seat of the sleek black luxury car, watching the cityscape recede into the distance outside his tinted window. He couldn't help but marvel at the smooth ride and opulent comfort of this private vehicle.As they left the hustle and bustle behind, Zane found himself sinking deeper into the soft cushions, lost in thought. Where was Alfred taking him?The car wound its way through the outskirts of the city and onto a secluded road leading to the hills."We are on our way to a private estate for you, Master," he said with a slight bow. "We will be arriving shortly."Zane nodded slowly, still trying to piece together this mysterious situation. As they approached a large black gate, Zane's curiosity only grew stronger. The gate opened automatically, revealing a grand brown mansion perched atop a hill like a hidden gem. The car pulled up to the front entrance and came to a stop."This is your new home, Master," Alfred announced with pride.Zane stepped out
It took Zane weeks to acclimate to his new life. The grandiose mansion was now his, gifted by his grandfather. As he explored the vast property, he discovered hidden treasures and learned more about the legacy that had been bestowed upon him. One day, Alfred, the loyal butler of the family, handed Zane a sleek black card with his name engraved in elegant gold letters. With a sly smile, Alfred revealed the contents of the card - a whopping USD 10 million at Zane's disposal. Zane was stunned to see what Alfred gave him. "Alfred, this is a lot of money." "Sir, your grandfather's wealth is actually greater than this. However, some enemies managed to take away some of your grandfather's wealth." Zane was stunned to hear Alfred's explanation, he couldn't imagine how rich his family used to be. Zane nodded slowly, trying to digest the information provided by Alfred. There seemed to be many things, and enemies he might encounter in the future. And he tried to prepare himself for everyth

He made his way through the throng of well-to-do individuals, his tailored suit catching the eye of many. The doorman greeted him with a respectful nod as he presented his invitation, granting him entry into the prestigious event. Stepping into the grand hall of the luxury hotel, Zane took in the scene before him.

Before posing his inquiry, Zane discovered that Charles had been a friend of his grandfather, as he had learned that his grandfather had been an exceptionally renowned Cultivator. However, Alfred had already confirmed that Charles had no knowledge of his Cultivating skills.Upon hearing the question, everyone was filled with curiosity, wondering who Zane really was."What did he say? He wants to treat Ms. Claire? Who is he?""Is he a doctor?
