"He is my bodyguard," Sophia sat down next to Amayah, indifferent to her presence.

"Isn't he that useless Daniel?" Amayah said, and the room burst into laughter.

Sophia's face turned pale. She couldn't believe that after so many years, Amayah was still her nemesis. They had been roommates in college and had constant arguments.

However, Sophia didn't want to argue with her.

"We are already divorced. He is just my bodyguard."

"Divorced?

Who believes that?

Haha!"

Amayah leaned in and deliberately said, "Sophia, I heard that the five years you were married to him was a sexless marriage.

"Yes, we only got married because of my grandfather's will. We just lived under the same roof and nothing happened," Sophia replied calmly.

"Hahaha, you're killing me, " Amayah laughed louder and louder, completely disregarding Sophia's face.

"Do you guys believe it?

Sophia was married to this useless guy for five years and they never had sex. Can she handle it? Do you believe it?"

"No!"

    "How's your gecko skill been lately?" Daniel asked with great concern."I've made some progress. Climbing a wall of over ten meters is no problem," Dong replied as he practiced against a brick wall."That's pretty good. Why don't you show me?"Dong put down the brick in his hand and stood up. He went to the bottom of a tall building, pressed his hands into the cracks between the bricks, and climbed up using both his hands and feet. He climbed about thirteen meters before jumping down."Your lower body is still a bit unstable," Daniel commented as Dong landed. Daniel then climbed up himself using both his hands and feet, surprisingly reaching over twenty meters in a short time."You also know gecko skill, Daniel?" Dong was surprised but also showed some admiration."I just learned by imitating. I've never learned it before," Daniel replied.Dong was even more surprised. Was this the same useless son-in-law he knew before? If the Hughes family members like Camilla and Julie found out th

"What surprise?" The Hughes family all widened their eyes. Sophia, however, gave them a disdainful look, which the Hughes family ignored, urging her on with their expressions."The surprise is that the Maclean family will use all means to help the company go public," she replied.Everyone was stunned. This was a great help to the company. After going public, they could raise a lot of funds for investment, and the company will grow rapidly.Camilla was overjoyed and stood up first."Sophia, let me tell you, it was my idea for Mr. Maclean and his wife to come here. You should thank me.""Yes, it was Camilla's idea. I knew about it too. If she hadn't taken the fi

Are you sick?""Violet has been discharged and needs to be taken home." "Okay." Daniel was also enthusiastic, after all, he had rescued Violet from Mark Holmes's hands and regarded her as his own family.After they got in the car, they went straight to the hospital. Alex had not finished some things in the morning when he handled the discharge operation, so they had to wait until the afternoon. At this time, a blind Taoist walked in. "Master, please sit down!"

    "Then just say what you have to say," Uncle Noah pointed his cane at Violet. "This child is Alex's illegitimate child, but you picked her up and treated her as your daughter, letting her live in your house. Maybe you even plan to send her to school next. How can this be? This is tantamount to adopting a child. Are you planning to give up all of the Hughes family's property and give it all to this outsider?"Violet sat on the sofa, already knowing some of the situation, and was very worried for Sophia."Uncle Noah, we are a family of doctors. It was because of our compassion for the suffering that we founded the company. And this child, Violet, has been motherless since she was young. We must love and respect her.Why do you have to say such things on her first day here?" Sophia retorted without showing any weakness."We have to be cautious, " Uncle Alex still insisted on his opinion. "Sophia, it's not that we don't have compassion, but human hearts are unpredictable. Therefore, adop

She has just been discharged from the hospital and missed some study time. I hope you can help her catch up in all subjects.""Okay, Violet, come with me."The female teacher touched the back of Violet's head and asked, "Your name is Violet?""Yes.”Violet blinked her eyes."I am your homeroom teacher. We are considered family. Come with me to the classroom for class.Daniel paid the tuition fee and headed towards the company. On the way, he remembered that he was now responsible for protecting Sophia, but with the addition of Violet, it was considered a split. He felt a sen

    A cry came from the cave.The closer he got to the cave, the clearer the crying became.Daniel felt a tightness in his heart. Fighting was nothing new to him, but with a child involved, it weighed heavily on him."Are you Daniel?" a voice came from outside the cave."Yes, and I'm surprised you know my name.""What name? You're just a son-in-law of the Hughes family."Daniel's face showed a hint of anger. It was one thing for the Hughes family to insult him in their own home, where he needed their protection, but it was different here. It was a matter of his dignity!He didn't care about it in other situations, but now, with Violet on his mind, he was in a bad mood. When two unpleasant things are combined, they must be vented, and the other party is naturally unable to resist."Don't come any closer!" Daniel wanted to take a step forward, but the other party raised his gun and aimed the black muzzle at him.Daniel looked at the other party coldly. This person had a fierce look and a d

So, he sent me to investigate who killed him."John was overjoyed. He had already guessed that it was likely Daniel’s doing, because he had kidnapped Violet and taken her away from Sunshine after the danger had passed, not letting her stay at Sophia’s house. Unexpectedly, Juan fell off a cliff and died, and Violet was rescued. The person who rescued Violet was able to defeat Juan, and only Daniel could do that.If he could take advantage of this situation and shift the blame to Daniel, Daniel would be nothing but brute force.

    "Daniel, I still have two moves left." Mark Holmes taunted with a smirk on his face."Can I offer you a torn piece of clothing to keep me company?" Daniel pretended to gasp for breath."Keep you company with clothing? Haha, that's hilarious!""Not going to keep me company?" "You can't even afford a piece of clothing.You're such a useless man of the Hughes family, so pathetic!""Are you talking about me?" Daniel’s face turned red with anger.Suddenly, Daniel charged towards Mark with his head as a weapon and slammed into Mark's stomach.Mark was caught off guard and felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He quickly stepped back, but Daniel continued to charge at him like a little bull, relentlessly pushing him toward a big tree.Jeremy leaped over, wanting to help Mark fight Daniel, but Mark felt insulted by Jeremy’s lack of trust in his abilities and shouted, "Do you not believe in my skills?""Apologies for my rudeness, Young Master Mark."

They are all pursuing Miss Grimwald, but she doesn't agree and rejects them. This is why they sometimes act alone and sometimes unite to deal with the Grimwald family, causing some unrest in the family." "So that's what's going on, Nathaniel said indignantly. Mrs. Nora also added, "Forcing something to happen never ends well. Don't they know that?" "These three people are difficult to deal with. Archer is almost crazy for Miss Grimwald, Mateo is almost sinister, and Mark is almost cruel," Daniel said. "Give me Archer's phone number!" Nathaniel was very angry. He wanted to use this opportunity to solve Archer’s problem. Because Nathaniel had not been to King City for more than five years, he did not have Archer's phone number. Daniel found Archer's phone number and Nathaniel took the phone and called him. "Daniel,

    "Yes, it's me," Daniel answered decisively.Immediately, Maggie put down the tea on the coffee table and bowed respectfully to Daniel, "Now that I've seen the true face of Daniel, I feel honored to have met you!"Daniel also gave a bow in return, "Teacher Maggie, in your field of research, there are almost no people in the world who understand it. So, in a way, I am also honored to have met you. "Maggie chuckled but didn't comment."Alright, everyone please take a seat," Mrs. Nora said, "Raylie, Violet, come and greet the teacher!"Raylie and Violet walked over and knelt in front of Maggie, saying in unison, "Students Raylie and Violet, pay our respects to Teacher Maggie!"Maggie looked at the two children, who were both very intelligent and liked them very much, "I also have good students like you. I am very pleased, and I hope that you will all succeed in the future. If one of you fails, it will be my failure as an educator. So, we must work together, understand?""We will listen t

There were also two servants helping them carry their luggage and packages."Daniel!" The two children called out and ran towards Daniel and Sophia, hugging them tightly."Were you told that your grandparents are coming?" Violet asked."Yes," Daniel replied. But Raylie started crying, her eyes turning red. Daniel knew how she felt and patted her back. "We'll see our parents soon. And you need to act like everything is okay, so they won't worry."'I know," Raylie nodded, wiping away her tears. Miss Grimwald and Sophia didn't have any awkwardness between them. Sophia walked up to Miss Grimwald and extended her hand, saying politely, "Miss Grimwald, it's a pleasure to meet you on this island.""It's really lucky. I heard that Ms. Sophia is investing here?"

The location is at the Bright Building in the central area of Jan County.""Does she know that we are coming to see her?""She already knows. Carolina has sent her a notice.""She may be a difficult person to deal with, so everyone needs to be fully prepared.""Yes!" The Nine countries responded in unison. The car arrived at the Building, where a red carpet had been laid out."Is this red carpet for us?" Daniel asked."Yes," said Germany. "When I came to scout yesterday, there was no red carpet. Moreover, Miss Morgana has not had any business these days and has been refusing visitors.

    Daniel observed calmly. Suddenly, he saw a flash of gold in Casey's sleeve. The gold had wings and blood-red eyes! It was the Golden Silkworm!”Daniel was certain. "Attack!" Casey ordered softly.The Golden Silkworm immediately emerged from Casey’s sleeve and flew towards Daniel. Rather than saying it attacked, it was more appropriate to say it darted. Daniel was prepared and dodged to the side.In an instant, a wooden pillar behind him snapped in half from the impact. The force was stronger than he had anticipated. The Golden Silkworm turned around and darted towards Daniel again. Daniel dodged once more. The silkworm then changed tactics, spinning around to form a smaller circle. Daniel held a dagger in his left hand and remained still, using a strategy of stillness to overcome motion. Casey was not one to give up easily and retrieved the Golden Silkworm into herpalm."Beat up Sophia!" Hilary knew the unbearable pain the Golden Silkworm inflicted on her and only wanted to kill Sop

    The night in Jango County was beautiful, with neon lights flashing and people bustling about. A variety of people, including locals and foreigners, seemed to blend into the city. Sophia noticed that Daniel was looking around as he walked, and she thought he was being too cautious. "Daniel, there's no need to be so vigilant. Besides, I have some martial arts skills too.""There's always someone better, and there are always bigger challenges. Don't be too confident, Daniel replied. Sophia didn't say anything more, because in her mind, Daniel had never made a mistake, so she naturally trusted him.After observing the area for a while, Daniel couldn't sense any danger in the vicinity, so he relaxed. He took out his phone and called Kenneth Storm, who was on a mission on Jango Island. Kenneth Storm answered, "Daniel, I heard you're in Jango County. Is that true?""Of course, I'm just strolling through the night market here. I wanted to say thank you to you and Biden for saving my father's

John already had an answer: "Hilary, don't you have a good relationship with Joseph from The Black Hand headquarters? Ask him to find some people for you. It's easy!""Yes, Joseph and Daniel are rivals. The people he brings can deal with Daniel, and we can deal with Sophia, striving to leave no evidence." John laughed, but Hilary was confident. Hilary then called Joseph. "Hilary, what's up?" After becoming a high-level executive, Joseph's tone had changed and he sounded superior."Joseph, we have encountered a problem. Daniel and Sophia are going to invest in Jango Island.""Daniel invest? Does he have the ability?""I just said it wrong. It's Sophia who is investing here, and Daniel is here with her."

John glanced at Daniel and saw that he was playing with his phone, looking carefree.He said, "Sophia, Daniel can't be by your side all the time. Many bad people are investing in Jango Island. Aren't you worried about this?"A blatant threat!He Luo added, "It's better to have family members by your side, at least they can share your worries and solve your problems for you."
