Althon glanced at his watch. “I should get going. I'll call you for our dinner details, Agnes.”“Take care, Daddy.” Agnes leaned over, watching Althon leave. She breathed a sigh of relief when he was gone. “Oh my, what happened? Daddy took me to dinner at Sky Heaven. I have to get ready.”Agnes took her father's call. “The event is over, Dad. I'm going home now. You don't have to worry about me.”Alicia watched Agnes, pressing her cheek repeatedly. “I'm not dreaming. I saw Agnes bowing to Althon. She also called Althon Daddy. What happened to Agnes? Why does she respect Althon so much?”Alicia pondered for a while, watching the video on her phone. “I purposely recorded Althon and Agnes' conversation as evidence. Agnes will no longer be able to evade me.”Agnes prepared to go home, walking towards the airport. Her face looked very happy. Her smile did not disappear. “This is like a dream.”“Agnes, I want to talk to you,” Alicia said as she approached.“What do you want to talk about, A
Althon woke up refreshed. He laughed as he recalled the expressions of Alvin, Alicia, and the others while in the cave. “They looked really scared. Agnes also acted very well.”Althon had breakfast with Anthony. He recounted all the fun on Mande Island. “How dare those damn people slander you and treat you so badly, Althon! I will destroy them! They must know who you are!” Anthony pounded on the table until his body shook. “Grandpa, calm down. I had a great vacation on Mande Island. They pranked me, and I pranked them back. I can handle them. Their presence made my vacation very enjoyable.”“Althon, you can't let those people keep insulting you and doing whatever they want to you.” Anthony let out a long breath. “You're right, Grandpa. I'm going to teach them a lesson.”Althon practiced in the courtyard with the guards. He rested by the lake, looking at the two swans chasing each other. He laughed as he watched videos of Alvin and his friends in the rockery, pool, and forest areas.
Althon enjoyed a vacation at the beach. He rode a horse, competing with Alan and the other guards. Unfortunately, he had to admit defeat as he came in last place. “Young Master, your dinner preparations with Agnes are ready,” Alan said as he handed Althon a drink. Althon took a sip of the drink. “Good job, Alan. I hope Alvin goes to Emerald Place. I've prepared a surprise for him.”Althon informed Agnes. “I still have plenty of time before dinner. I'd better make good use of my vacation time.”“Althon, how are your dinner preparations with Agnes Lin going?” asked Anthony as Althon entered the house. “All the preparations are perfect, Grandpa. I just need to come and have dinner with Agnes. She helped me a lot back on Mande Island.” Althon sat on the sofa. “Do you mind if I go with Agnes, Grandpa?”Anthony laughed. “Of course not. I will support you as long as you are happy. However, I would like to remind you that the Lin family has ties to the Leander family. I've met their family
"Thank you for inviting me to dinner, Daddy." Agnes surveyed the surroundings, looking down to hide her flushed cheeks. She had never had dinner at Sky Heaven before. Althon made this dinner very special. "This place is amazing.""I'm glad you like the place, Agnes." Althon sat on a chair, signaling the waiters to bring the dishes. Six waiters entered the rooftop, setting the dishes and drinks on the table. Althon had reserved this place for dinner with Agnes. Alan and several guards stood guard on each side of the balcony. Other guards spread around the building, the city center, and the entrance to Emerald Place. Althon and Agnes enjoyed dinner in silence. Althon had never dined in a luxurious place with a beautiful woman before. He had only talked about fantasizing about taking Alicia when he was still dating her. He was lucky that he was able to see through Alicia's deceit. Althon had to admit that Agnes was stunning tonight. She looked perfect from head to toe."Daddy, is
“Alicia.” Alvin started to get scared when he saw the guards entering the rooftop. “We should get out of this restaurant right now. The guards are entering the rooftop, and I'm afraid they're looking for me.”“What do you mean, Alvin?” Alicia was still scanning the surroundings, looking for Althon. “We can't leave until we find Althon.”“Come on, Alicia. We've already seen Agnes with Mr. Sean, not with Althon. You must have heard wrong about Althon's invitation to Agnes.” Alvin looked down as several guards passed him by. “Althon can't be in this restaurant.”“I couldn't have heard wrong, Alvin. I saw and heard Althon and Agnes meeting and talking. I even recorded their meeting. I'm sure Althon was in this place.”“Althon is just a poor man, Alicia. He can't possibly have the money to enter Emerald Place. I'm sure he must be with those punks somewhere. We need to leave this restaurant as soon as possible. If we don't, I'll be in very big trouble.”Alicia snorted in annoyance, clenchin
Alvin and Alicia came out of Sky Heaven. They saw Agnes talking to Sean Ruild on the terrace. The car drove very fast, leaving Sky Heaven. Alvin felt very tense even though he was starting to move away from the center of Emerald Place. Meanwhile, Alicia looked very upset. She pouted, turning her head to the road. “Alicia, I apologize to you. I promise to take you to a great place once my family problems are over,” Alvin said.Alicia let out a long breath. “I'm sorry that I forced you into unconsciousness, Alvin.”Alicia stroked Alvin's shoulder. “You're such a wonderful man. You're willing to sacrifice for me. I have to admit that I was wrong. Althon didn't take Agnes to dinner at Sky Heaven.”The car left the city center, speeding along the bridge. Althon returned to dinner with Agnes on the rooftop. “Did I keep you waiting long, Agnes?”“No, Daddy.” Agnes was happy to be with Althon again. “Mr. Sean and I talked about many things, especially about the Paradise Store.”“Daddy.” A
Anthony waited for Althon's arrival in the main room. He was very worried after hearing that Alex, Alexa, and Albert were visiting Sky Heaven. “Althon, are you okay?” Anthony stood up instantly when he saw Althon enter the house with Alan and the guards. “I'm fine, Grandpa. I enjoyed this dinner.” Althon sat down on the sofa. “What's wrong, Grandpa? You look scared.”“Althon.” Anthony took a deep breath. “I was so worried when I found out Alex, Alex, and Albert were visiting Sky Heaven. I was afraid they would see you.”“You didn't have to worry, Grandpa. I hurried away when I found out they were visiting.”Anthony breathed a sigh of relief. “That's a relief. Your whereabouts must still be a closely guarded secret from the Leander family, Althon.”Althon rested in his room, staring at the ceiling. He felt guilty for making Anthony worry. “I need to study and train harder.”Althon opened Ansen, watching the hologram screen. “Alex, Alexa, and Albert are Arnold's children. They are ach
“Don't disappoint your family a second time, Noah, Alvin.” James patted Alvin and Noah on the shoulder. “We're all counting on you.”Alvin and Noah nodded, entered the car, and waved goodbye to James and all the Julian family members who were escorting them away. Alvin and Noah looked very tense. This was their chance to make things right for their family and correct their mistakes. “We can't afford to make even the slightest mistake, Alvin. We must focus on our task to meet Mr. Sean. We must comply with all the conditions he puts on us,” Noah said. “I understand.” Alvin clenched his fists tightly, watching his ringing cell phone. “Alicia called me.”Noah turned off Alvin's cell phone. “You have to remember Dad's message, Alvin. You don't have any relationship with Alicia anymore. If you have any more contact with her, Dad will kick you out and won't consider you his son anymore.”Noah let out a long breath, scrutinizing his appearance. “I destroyed our family because of a small m
