Hearing this, Mayor George looked a little annoyed. He had emphasized many times that the recent physical examination report proved that he was very healthy, but Jessica and the veterinarian seemed to be sure that he was suffering from a serious disease, and Jessica even threatened that he would beg that lowly man for help. How ridiculous! In fact, the reason why he distressed Edward so much was not only because he looked down upon Edward's social position, but also for a personal reason. That was because of his nephew Bob, who had pursued Jessica for many years, but she had rejected him many times. However, Jessica suddenly defended that ordinary man who had accomplished nothing, and he had even once married and dumped. So he snorted unhappily, "Bob is absolutely more outstanding than that guy!" Jessica chuckled and said, "Uncle George, if compared with the best young people in the capital, Edward may lose temporarily, but compared with Bob, Edward will definitely win!" Her wo
15 minutes ago, a black Bentley just drove out of the estate."Hmph, Jessica believes in a bankrupt vet, how ridiculous!" George lit a cigar on the car, his tone mocking.His driver said somewhat worriedly, "Sir, although that vet guy is insignificant, but offending the Morgan family is not a good choice."George waved his hand dismissively, saying indifferently, "I've informed Bob about this, he'll be here soon. Bob is much more outstanding than that guy, I believe he'll make the man back down soon."In George's view, Edward wasn't even worthy of polishing Bob's shoes."Besides, Jessica doesn't represent the Morgan family!" George said meaningfully, taking a deep drag of smoke.Suddenly, he felt a stabbing pain in his body, though fleeting, it made him cough.And inhaling the cigar smoke only made it worse, causing him to cough uncontrollably, as if his lungs were about to explode.After a while, George, his face tear-streaked from coughing, looked very disheveled.He wiped his face w
Upon hearing Edward's words, everyone was stunned.Mayor George hadn't expected Edward, such a despicable fellow, to dare refuse his order, and Jessica was also surprised that Edward, who had rarely shown anger, was now displaying such behavior. In her eyes, Edward had always been a gentle person, seldom getting angry.However, she was pleased with this change in him!"Scoundrel, what did you say?" George immediately became furious, and his driver, who also doubled as a part-time bodyguard, glared angrily at Edward, completely forgetting the fact that he had just been scared off by him, and sternly demanded, "Cure Mayor George immediately! Otherwise, I'll make you pay!"Edward raised his head slightly to look at the tall, muscular man in front of him, and in the next moment, he slapped him, sending him flying, several teeth even falling out in the process.The onlookers were not only shocked that Edward dared to directly offend the mayor but also astonished by his strength, capable of
George stood outside the villa, looking at the balcony on the second floor with a complex meaning in his eyes, without saying anything.After a moment, he said with a melancholy tone, "Let's go home!"He ignored the speculation of his driver, although he also had some doubts about Edward.But the ability Edward displayed today surpassed his imagination. He knew that no matter whether Edward staged this scene himself or not, he couldn't afford to offend Edward anymore. Because it seemed that Edward could not only save lives but also kill in invisible ways!"Sir, this bastard has offended you so much, we should teach him a lesson! For instance, we can secretly assist your nephew Bob," the driver suggested cunningly.George remained silent for a moment, then waved his hand and refused, "From now on, I will not interfere in the struggle between Edward and Bob.""Sir, but..." the driver was anxious to persuade him, as he still hoped to use the mayor's hand to avenge himself against Edward.
Bob's face turned red as he struggled hard, trying to pull his hand out.However, under Edward's overwhelming strength, he couldn't resist at all.Watching Bob grimacing in pain, Edward asked with concern, "Mr. Allen, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"Hearing this, Bob was almost driven to spew blood!"Coincidentally, I am a doctor. Let me diagnose you," Edward said, seeming very serious."You..." Bob pointed at Edward with the other hand, wanting to angrily scold him."Hmm?" Edward's eyes turned sharp, and he secretly increased the strength in his hand.Feeling even more intense pain, Bob immediately changed his words, "You... let go of my hand!""Oh," Edward seemed to suddenly understand, quickly releasing his grip. "Sorry, Mr. Allen, you should have said it earlier." Edward raised his hands innocently as well.Bob could only swallow this humiliation, hiding his trembling right hand behind his back, trying to maintain his composure in front of Jessica.Jessica watched th
Bob certainly didn't buy it at the auction, but he bought it for ten thousand dollars in a small shop run by a foreigner, and then he bought a delicate gift box for five thousand dollars.But what he didn't expect was that he was actually deceived by that foreigner, and the medicinal herb turned out to be carved and dyed!What's even more unexpected is that it was seen through by Edward, his rival, on the spot, which made him embarrassed!"You...you...nonsense!" Bob retorted somewhat flustered."Jessica, he's slandering me! Please don't believe him!" he looked at Jessica, explaining anxiously.Jessica sighed slightly, picked up the medicinal herb, and said with a hint of disappointment, "Since you both insist on your own views, then I will send it to a professional institution for testing."Upon hearing this, Bob hastily wiped the sweat from his forehead and stammered, "Je...Jessica, I really didn't know it was fake, I was also deceived by that...that foreign seller."Jessica coldly sn
A few days later, Edward received an unexpected phone call from Jessica."Edward, Bob is hosting a cocktail party and he invited me. I don't want to go, so how about you go in my place?" Jessica casually said."Me?" Edward was taken aback, feeling a bit puzzled.He didn't like Bob, a cunning and hostile guy. Attending Bob's party would surely make him feel annoyed!"What's the matter? Are you scared of being there?" Jessica teased, noticing Edward's silence."Scared? Of course not! It's just..." Edward forced a smile."Edward, this is a test! Are you going to refuse? I hope you can handle these situations with composure, even if it means facing people you dislike or consider enemies," Jessica said with a serious tone."Tell me the time and location!" Upon hearing those words, Edward immediately agreed.Jessica smiled faintly, "Tonight at eight o'clock, at Poto Vineyard.""Alright! I will be there on time!" Edward nodded firmly, promising.Since this was Jessica's test for him, he woul
Edward sat alone in a quiet corner, completely focused on his cultivation.After all, he could sense that the air here was truly filled with natural elements, and that is the energy for him."Mr. Flamel?" At that moment, a man's voice suddenly came from behind Edward.He opened his eyes and turned to look at the man, his eyes showing some confusion.The man was none other than Steve Rode, the son of New Angelia's wealthiest man.Steve smiled friendly and asked, "Do you mind if I sit next to you?""Sit, please." Edward nodded politely in response."Mr. Flamel, I have something important to tell you," Steve said seriously.Edward sighed lightly, indicating that he couldn't continue his quiet cultivation."Yes, please," Edward replied.However, Steve, like a thief, first looked around cautiously, then whispered to Edward, "I suggest you leave here as soon as possible!""What's going on?" Edward became even more puzzled."I just heard that Bob Allen holds hostility towards you," Steve sai
