The big four began to consider the possibility of whom among them Roderick might choose.

Given the statistics, Jacob York had an advantage in the construction industry compared to the others. But the York Group didn't have enough funds to partner with the Bolton Group compared to Caleb Houston's this time.

For that reason, Houston's Group might get the chance to be the partnering company.

The fact that Caleb had been so watchful and careful with his words earlier, as he never wanted to offend Roderick, says a lot about his chances too.

In conclusion, the big four were still in the dark about whose company it might be, as they had no idea about Roderick's criteria for choosing a partner.

The big four were still calculating in their heads when Roderick added,

"I would like the public to know that the big four aren't the only ones eligible to be the partnering company. Any company that shares the same goals and vision as the Bolton Group for the project is eligible to be the partnering c

    "Roderick, I have a birthday gift for you."In the large living room of the Santos family, Clara Watson, Roderick's mother-in-law, said icily as she placed a package on the table before them.Next to her was a young, handsome man, Roderick Holmes, who was dressed in casual wear and had an apron on.Roderick's eyes lit up in surprise as he unwrapped the package with excitement. His gaze fell on a file inside the box, and he happily checked it out.After he flipped through it, the excitement on his face wiped away when he found out it was a divorce file."What is this?" he was stupefied by what he saw.Clara's face flushed with disgust. "Can't you see what it is? Today will be the end of the marriage between you and my daughter. Hurry up and sign the file and stop asking me unnecessary questions."Roderick paused, trying to understand this better, but he was unable to fathom it."Felicia and I have been happily married for two years, and we both love each other. Why do we have to divorc

    As he was about to slide his phone back into his pocket, suddenly, a lady bumped into him. Roderick raised his head and saw Bella Roy, Felicia's secretary."Isn't it too early for you to be drowning in thoughts because you got dumped like the trash that you are?"Roderick didn't bother to give Bella a second glance as he ignored her and walked away.Bella was pained but headed into the living room with annoyance.Meanwhile, as soon as Roderick stepped out of the Santos Villa, a convoy of exotic and military cars hurriedly halted before him.An army of soldiers led by Tony Hoggs, a cold-looking lieutenant, along with a group of men dressed in well-tailored suits led by Paul Ashley, the chairman of Ace Company, jumped down from the vehicles.They all rushed towards Roderick and fell to their knees. "We honor you, Lord Roderick! Even on our last breath, we will never cease to serve you, The Invincible War King!"Roderick's face frowned as he stared at them all before turning to Tony, to

    All the cars drove off in that direction.House of Majesty is a grand estate built in the most exclusive area of Glacia City, an area that is almost unreachable even for the big names of the city.Roderick wasn't just a great War King; he had also acquired so much wealth that he could afford whatever he wished regardless of how costly they might be.In a few moments, the cars were already close to the estate. Then, a large mansion was seen from afar, surrounded by lush gardens. Undoubtedly, the estate is a paradise on earth. From the modern architectural style to the ambience was all perfect. As they drove closer, Roderick was surprised to see, in front of his estate, four elderly men kneeling before expensive cars with their heads bowed.They all wore expensive suits, and their skin glowing and looking so rich. They all held heavy bowls of gifts in their hands as they bowed.Roderick's face frowned as he wondered who they were.The convoy of cars drove past them into the estate whil

    It was already 3:55 PM when a black Mercedes Benz parked at Lily Garden.This part of the city is very calm and the quietest of the whole Glacia City. However, people only visit the beautiful garden occasionally.Inside the car were two young and pretty ladies—Kate Bolton and her secretary, Christina Smith.Kate was sitting in the passenger seat. Her demeanor was calm and classy. Her delicate skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were bright and shiny, sparkling like gemstones.Christina, who was occupying the driver's seat, cleared her throat, "Miss Bolton, you're so lucky to be finally meeting the miracle doctor after the long search."Kate smiled slightly, "It's indeed great luck. I appreciate your support throughout this long time.""That's not necessary, Miss Bolton. But I'm curious; out of all places, why did a doctor with such ability choose Lily Garden as a meeting place? I was expecting an invitation to a big hospital or a VIP lounge for a classy lady like you." Christina t

    Kate was caught in the middle of the matter as she was at a loss for words.Christina's eyes bulged with anger. "Miss Bolton, my observation is accurate! I knew from the first sight that this dude was a con man. Now, he has proven me right!"Kate remained silent when Christina asked again, "Let's think about it. What correlation does dyspnea have with touching a patient's sensitive areas? That's a perfectly clear sign that he is nothing but a trickster!"Even though Christina's points seemed thoughtful, Kate had a different view on the matter. Moreover, Roderick had just informed her that the longer the sickness stayed in her body, the more dangerous it became.Then she said to her secretary, "Mr. Holmes seems to be responsible beyond such a thing. Also, you should know I won't spare him if it turns out that he only wanted to take advantage."Christina's face remained frowned as she was unsatisfied.This time, Kate turned to Roderick and said, "Please, you can continue with the treatm

    Kate remained unfazed as she watched them come closer. They all had their faces covered with masks, except for their leader, who disguised his face with a scary tattoo.They were all holding all sorts of deadly weapons like baseball bats, crowbars, and the like. They were all alert and ready to attack in a call."How dare you cross my path?" Kate's voice had already turned cold and stern.The tattooed guy smirked and replied, "Miss Bolton, this is Glacia City, not River's, where you have so many bodyguards to protect you."Even though he had a valid point, Kate was never backing down. She took a step forward, her face tightened in anger. Then, she said, "If that's your thought. You have failed woefully.Kate was about to dial a number on her phone when the tattooed guy mocked, "Don't tell me you want to make a call. Haha! Have you forgotten how long it would take them to get to Lily Garden?"Kate's teeth gritted. "What exactly do you want?" she asked, her eyes turning red with anger.

    Roderick was dumbfounded and speechless. He never expected the Ice Queen of River City to be such a shameless flirt.Undeniably, Kate's beauty could make a man lose his composure and act inappropriately. She's blessed with an effortlessly charming aura that could keep a crowd drooling.Not even Felicia's beauty could compare to hers. If Felicia's beauty is a breeze, Kate's beauty is a hurricane.Roderick exhaled and said, "Miss Bolton, you don't have to worry about returning the favor. Let's just keep things in business."Kate smiled slightly and pinched her nose. She never expected Roderick to be able to escape her sultry gaze.For that reason, Kate concluded in her mind that Roderick was beyond being human. Only an immortal being could resist such an alluring offer."No problem, Mr. Holmes. Things are still under control," Kate smiled softly.Roderick maintained his composure, trying his best to avoid the stare of the heavenly seductress.Meanwhile, Christina's mind was burning with

    Bella's face immediately frowned in disgust. Taking a thorough glance at the scene before her, her hatred for Roderick grew even stronger.'Why is there such a large crowd?' she questioned inwardly, derisively.She stared coldly at Roderick from where she stood, with many ill intentions running through her mind.As she contemplated how to execute her plan, she turned to her boss to gauge her thoughts."Hmph! I can't believe Roderick is really acting as Miss Bolton's spokesperson. Does he even know what to say in this interview? Does he think people want to listen to him?"Felicia, whose face was still full of surprise, slowly shifted her gaze away from the large crowd, gave her secretary a brief glance, and replied, "We can't tell from this distance. Let's get closer to find out."The young CEO said this and immediately headed toward the crowd, leaving Bella completely confused. She expected her boss to be intensely angry and irritated at the sight of Roderick and to ask them to retur

    Arnold's brows raised in extreme shock. 'Could that mean I might die at any moment from now?' he questioned himself in great panic. His face instantly turned bitter the more he thought about it. Roderick's remark was still like a hard pill stuck in his throat, but he had to swallow it down. Since Arnold's doctor had informed him that he had only weeks to live, he had been worried and afraid. But right now, he was scared to death as Roderick said his life was hanging by a thread. Even though he wasn't sure about the remark, the fact that he mentioned it made him seriously afraid. Arnold nearly burst into tears immediately, as he never wished to die prematurely. Still puzzled by how Roderick found out this information, Arnold's colleagues continued hurling insults at Roderick. Meanwhile, Arnold was frozen in place and shivering in utmost fear. The elderly man was nearly peeing himself. Just then, Benjamin dismissed Roderick's remark, saying, "Since you know it's common for people

    The elderly men's gazes turned to the floor as their faces flushed with embarrassment.Reflecting on Roderick's statement, they felt it was true. If he were worthless, it shouldn't be difficult for them to have him cleared out of their way.Moreover, they had always been troubled by his existence; Roderick never cared about them.This shows that he is a big deal to them, while they were nothing to him.Here is the truth before the big four, but it is up to them whether they agree to it.Suddenly, the big four all had their faces turn red with rage. Their fists clenched in fury, and they were tempted to pounce on Roderick to teach him a lesson.At that moment, Caleb quickly called his colleagues’ attention and whispered to them, “We don’t have to resort to violence with this kid in public. How about we teach him a lesson secretly? Silent swords cut deepest.”Caleb’s point seemed reasonable, making them all step back except for Benjamin.He knew his colleagues accepted Caleb’s suggestio

    A black Mercedes-Benz, followed by an SUV, suddenly halted before a massive building—Horizon Complex. Some security guards jumped down from the SUV and rushed forward to the Mercedes-Benz to open the door.Seeing the black Benz in the distance, the big four, who had arrived very early at Horizon Complex that morning, instantly lit up with excitement."Huh?! Miss Bolton is finally here!" one of them shouted, catching the attention of the others. Instantly, the big four all rushed toward the car to welcome the noblewoman.At this moment, the black Benz door was opened, and a young, handsome man dressed in a well-tailored suit stepped out of the car.His demeanor was very calm, and his aura was completely domineering.The big four suddenly paused midway, as the figure before them wasn’t a lady. Scrutinizing him from head to toe, their faces twisted with immediate disdain.'What?! Roderick Holmes?!''This fool?!' Their minds buzzed with anger as soon as their eyes met Roderick's.The blac

    They were already close to Horizon Complex, where the Bolton Group had rented a space for an office, when Christina cleared her throat."Ahem!"She forced a soft smile and turned to Roderick."Mr. Holmes, I will get off at the next junction. I have an urgent matter to attend to there. You don't have to wait for me; you can head to the office. Once I'm done, I will report to the office as well."Roderick nodded slowly in response. Suddenly, the car stopped, and Christina got out.As soon as the car sped away, leaving Christina behind, she let out a mocking smile. "Since Miss Bolton has so much faith in you, let's see how you handle the business. Bloody ignorant! Haha!" She laughed heartily and left in a direction.Meanwhile, Felicia was in the CEO's office at Santos Corporation. She was pacing back and forth, with many worries on her mind.There were files on her table that needed her attention, but she couldn't even take a break from her heavy thoughts to attend to them.One of Felici

    The research she did on Roderick stated that he had been a live-in son-in-law for years. How can someone with such a record be in charge of Bolton Group's project?Never in his life had he ever been in business, either. How can someone with no knowledge of business manage one for a notable company like theirs?Christina couldn't understand why her boss was so inconsiderate about her reputation and that of the Bolton Group by choosing Roderick as the face of the project regardless of the odds.The secretary was still processing all these thoughts when she heard Kate add, "Mr. Holmes, don't forget that you were the one who announced to the public that Bolton Group is open for partnership. Now, interested companies are at our office's doorstep waiting for your approval."Roderick was speechless as he remembered he had actually said that last night. "Miss Bolton, I said that because I was just trying to play along. I would have disagreed with the post instantly yesterday, but I didn't wan

    Roderick was mesmerized as he looked at the display from where he sat. Not that he didn't have the resources to get such a display for himself, but he was surprised that Kate took his birthday so personally and to this extent.Despite finding out about his birthday late, she still took the time to prepare such a bewildering present.Roderick understood the stress and money the display must have cost. Then he said to her, "Miss Bolton, we met just yesterday. Don't you think this present is too extravagant for me to accept?"Kate’s eyes lit up instantly. "Come on, Mr. Holmes. Nothing is too expensive for you, as long as it’s for you."She walked briskly to Roderick and asked, "Be honest with me, Mr. Holmes. Didn’t you like what you saw? How about I order more sets of all the accessories right away?"Roderick was mind-blown and left speechless as Kate said all that. He couldn’t fathom what was before him, yet she was talking about ordering more. Isn’t that too much?He slowly waved his h
