The man across the phone was surprised by Stephen's offer. He hadn't seen Stephen for just ten months, not ten years. But it seemed like Stephen had changed since the last time he met him."Are you serious? If you're serious, I'll definitely come to Rosewind to see you!"The Magnificent Emerald hotel wasn't just the best hotel in Rosewind City; it was an internationally renowned luxury hotel. This caught Manuel's attention.In his mind, Manuel thought, "I thought the peak of surprises was the gift of 6 jet skis. Apparently, he still has another surprise!"Casually, Stephen said, "If I were joking, it would be embarrassing for me if you actually took up my offer!"Manuel realized that Stephen was not joking or being insincere. He started wondering how Stephen had accumulated so much wealth in just ten months.The jet ski rental entrepreneur said, "Alright then, I'll be in Rosewind City next week!" Not long ago, he had said he might visit Rosewind City someday. But in a matter of second
Alyssa lay in Stephen's lap, while the blonde man's hands were smeared with blood.With a pale face, Alyssa said shakily, "Don't worry, Mr. Stephen, I'll be fine..." Carefully, Alyssa handed a gun to Stephen. He angrily accepted the weapon.Stephen's heart was filled with anger. Someone had tried to kill him in the middle of a crowd and caused casualties.Stephen's eyes turned to Johnnie. Immediately, he knew that Stephen needed him to carry Alyssa to the dormitory with the others.Just after Oliver learned that Alyssa had been shot, he aimed at the large tree where the sniper was hiding. After Alyssa was in Johnnie's arms, Stephen also fired his gun at them. As the snipers took cover from Oliver and Stephen's shots, everyone ran safely into the dormitory."Oh my goodness, what was that earlier?" Daisy screamed in panic as she climbed the stairs.Suddenly, Oliver gave a command, "Get down!"In fear, their trembling bodies obeyed Oliver's order, and at the same time, the window glass s
Leia sighed in frustration. She looked up at the ceiling for a moment, then stared at Fiona and said, "Are you sure? Can you judge him objectively, regardless of whether he's your husband or a handsome man?" She smiled sarcastically.Fiona returned the gaze of the woman in the black oversized jumper and replied, "Of course. I still have a brain to distinguish between good and bad." She glared.Impatiently, the woman with bold eye makeup and dark purple lipstick said, "Then what does the shot mean? I don't understand your explanation. If you call him a good man, then who is the bad one? Do you know who tried to shoot him?" She looked sharply at Fiona. "This issue is not simple at all! There are hundreds of children here, and his presence poses a danger to all of us!"Fiona clenched her hands tightly. She didn't have any evidence to accuse anyone of being the culprit. But then the brunette woman said, "I know. Who could have foreseen something like this happening? You better stay calm!"
After the chaos subsided, they checked on their own conditions and those of their companions. At the back door, Stephen and Johnnie were unharmed. Meanwhile, at the front door, Ethan had a wound on his temple, and Kyle had a gunshot wound in his leg."Take care of the injured!" Stephen commanded a late-arriving agent. Obediently, the agent followed Stephen's orders.Next, Alyssa, Ethan, and Kyle were taken by helicopter to receive specialized treatment. Therefore, Johnnie informed the hospital, so the ambulance wouldn't need to come to the orphanage as the patients were already receiving medical assistance.One hour later, the police finally arrived at the orphanage's courtyard. They immediately secured the snipers and soldiers in all-black attire with face coverings, then gathered various information from the people present at the orphanage.When Johnnie saw a group of special forces boarding a helicopter, he asked Stephen, "Stephen, are those your men?" The blond man confirmed Johnn
Upon returning from Fiona's orphanage, she resumed her normal life and got busy preparing for a charity auction event. Meanwhile, Stephen supervised his team as they investigated the attack case at Danswell orphanage.At the penthouse, the special agent William, known as the Black Wolves, gathered. They discussed their investigation findings and data from the police on a large LCD screen on the wall.Oliver said with a serious expression, "Young master, based on our investigation and police data, we conclude that the attackers were Tristan's men."Stephen wasn't surprised by this discovery as he had suspected Tristan's involvement. Despite being in prison, Tristan still had some influence outside, but since the attack at Danswell orphanage, Stephen's agents and the police had arrested them all, reaching the roots of the organization.A blonde man in a white T-shirt commented, "Seems like he hated me so much that he went to such extremes to capture me while I was at the orphanage."Wil
Bryson, who used to look at Megan with love, turned to hatred when he saw her. He even wanted to discard the trousers he was wearing because he felt disgusted by Megan's touch."Honey, I had no choice! I was afraid you'd get angry and divorce me!" Megan said, crying.Still cold, Bryson responded to Megan's confession, "But now you've truly angered me, Megan! You don't believe I can protect you!"Bryson's words left Megan stunned. She released her embrace, then looked up to see the young master in the Geoff family. She cursed herself inwardly, "Fool! You are such a fool, Megan!"There was nothing she could say except, "Forgive me, Honey! You can punish me in any way as long as you forgive me!" Still on the floor, she spoke earnestly through tears.Bryson remained standing, his voice icy as he said, "Is that so?"Megan quickly nodded, feeling relieved that Bryson was finally responding. "Yes, I'm serious. You can do whatever you want! I won't refuse anything!" A glimmer of hope appeared
Keyla continued the auction after showcasing a set of six paintings with a robot theme. The paintings depicted the astonishing imagination of children envisioning the future.The host, who was also a model, looked at the paintings on stage with great interest. "Wow! These are amazing! The images of robots in this future world weren't even in my imagination!" As Keyla glanced at the audience, they seemed to agree with her opinion."So, is there anyone among you who would like to bid for this set of robot-themed paintings?"An enthusiastic middle-aged woman raised her hand and exclaimed, "$2000!"Keyla smiled broadly, "That's a great price! Does anyone want to bid higher for this set of robot-themed paintings?"Several people showed enthusiasm, and the bidding continued."$2700!""$3500!""$7800!""$1200!"Keyla noticed a longis blonde-haired man who had just bid $12000 for the paintings created by orphanage children. To her, this seemed crazy for the price of artwork made by kids."Is
Keyla Fox's offer ignited the spirits of the auction participants that evening. Each of them didn't want to miss this rare opportunity. For Keyla's fans, the chance to have dinner with her sounded incredibly appealing.Various comments from the auction participants echoed throughout the Magnificent Emerald Hotel hall."Oh my! Dinner with Keyla Fox! That sounds so exclusive! I'll get it!""Miss Keyla, I'd gladly be your dinner partner!""Wait for me, Miss Keyla! I'm not afraid to compete for the chance to have dinner with you!"Keyla welcomed the enthusiasm of the auction participants with joy, and she also took a moment to glance at Stephen. In her heart, Fiona said, "Mr. Number 101, I hope you win the auction tonight. I feel like I really must meet you!" Before turning to the audience, she threw a smile at Stephen, who was staring at the model at that moment.The blonde man behind the black mask only held back a smile from behind the mask. He knew Keyla did this on purpose to invite
