"And this is?" The young man stood on his feet and stared at James, who had just entered the room.James looked at the young man from head to toe and immediately realized that he was Ava's childhood friend, Isaac Peter.He remembered that Ava would receive gifts from oversea regularly when they were dating back then in the university.It was since then James known about Isaac Peter."Oh, this is my son in law, James Miller. Joseph killed the awkward silence."What son in law?" He is nothing but a useless fool. You don't need to worry about him, Isaac. Amelia was discourteous and showed James no respect."Darling, you are full of drama, Joseph interrupted as he thought his wife had gone too far. Was I wrong? Amelia went further with humiliating her son in law. Isaac is the CEO of a listed company overseas. He graduated from a university abroad and had been living there for years. Besides, he's also gentle. Knowing that his father was troubled with health issues, he quit his high paying
"James, why are you still standing there?" Go make us dinner again, now!" Amelia gave him her usual snappish look."Amelia, we ran out of soy sauce, James told her. Can't you just go buy one?"Do I really need to hold your hand and show you every step?" Amelia was angry.Today,she intentionally invited Isaac to her place so she could humiliate James in front of him.Her goal was to stir up troubles between Ava and James, letting the misunderstanding between them blown out of proportion and resulting in a divorce.When that happened, her daughter would be able to start her relationship with Isaac.She didn't expect herself to become the one being angry today.I can't believe you need guidance on such small matters. You are really a fool and a disgrace to the family with zero reservations, she shouted at her son in law.He, on the other hand kept his lips sealed and stood still.He always knew that Amelia had been looking down on him since day one. Nonetheless,he bore with it for a Ava.
"A tough ground to dig?" Are you telling me Miller Group can't take on that tiny store?" James said.No, Mr Miller, you've misunderstood me. That's not what I meant. Leo was trying to give out the best explanation."Then what do you mean?" James recalled what happened at his mother in law's house and vented his anger at Leo. Are you telling me you can't handle this matter?"No, Mr Miller, what I'm trying to say is that Peter's company partnered with a company under Martin family a month ago, and Ms martin is currently the person in charge of the project, just so you know she is now the biggest shareholder of Peter's company."Are you talking about Martin Luna?" James quickly figured out who Leo was talking about.He understood he had a score to settle with that woman.Luna has been low key for years, but she started stirring up troubles when James returned to take over his family business.Things aren't as simple as they appear to be.You are right, although I'm not sure when she came
"He is my friend," added Ava in a more serious tone.At this, May weather had no choice but to let go.After being freed, Isaac glared at May. "Don't you have eyes to see who I am?How dare you touch me? Are you tired of living?""Isaac, he's my bodyguard,said Ava. Don't be angry.Isaac had a sudden realization that he had lost his gentlemanliness in front Ava, and so his expression calmed down. Ava, that's not what i meant. I just..."As Isaac was speaking he rushed forward and held Ava in his arms. Ava, I just miss you so much. You know, during the years I was abroad, I missed you everyday.May who was watching on the side was dumbstruck.What the?What's was going on?Mrs Miller is being hugged by another man.May was worried that he would be skinned alive if James found out.He would most certainly got a beating.Thankfully, Ava pushed Isaac away quickly. She gave an awkward smile and changed the subject. You know Isaac, when did you come back?"Three days ago, said isaac. He look
James was stopped at the restaurant entrance."What are you doing here? Don't you know the rules?" Asked the restaurant female manager. She had heavy makeup and waa staring at James with disdain. Do you know what place is this?"James raised his eyebrows and said impatiently, "I'm looking for someone."Looking for someone?" She looked at James from head to toe and said, don't mess with me. Who could you be looking for? Get lost now! Or I will call the security.A waitress had joined them quietly. Ms Dean, she whispered in the managers ear, he's the husband of the woman in the video. I think he's here to cause trouble.Ms Dean eyed James again and said impatiently, Listen, someone has reserved this entire restaurant today, so, the person you are looking for is not here. Please leave now.I'm not wasting my breath on you said James. He did not want to waste his time on the manager who looked down on him. The only thing on his mind was to see his wife as soon as possible.And the manager
When Ava got angry, even James was afraid of her."Isaac, James is my husband. Ava face turned cold and she lowered her voice, "If you call him a loser, then you are calling me a loser too.Isaac had been focusing on insulting James that he had not noticed Ava's changed of expression."Ava, that's not what I meant. Isaac quickly tried to explain. Actually, I asked you out today because I have some business to discuss with you."I know the Bailey Group has encountered some problems with your new projects overseas. I happen to have a project on hand that can help you."The new project?" Ava's expression softened a little when she heard that.It was true that the new project had been rather pressing on her way back from abroad, Ava had been thinking hard about how to deal with it."Ava, why didn't you tell me that the new project was facing problems?" Asked Ava with a frown."Are you crazy?" Isaac scoffed at James question. Then he shamelessly sneered at James again. "Why should Ava tel
However, Isaac still didn't understand was going on.He didn't care about how powerful Lucas was. He was not afraid."Mr Miller, are you satisfied now? Lucas looked up at James and asked.Let her go, replied James as he looked down at Ms Dean, who was kneeling on the floor.She was like an ant and was not worth his time."James, just you wait," said Isaac who was still nursing a bloody nose. "This matter isn't over yet. He still sounded arrogant. And then isaac turned around and left.Motherfucker, Lucas raised his cane and was about to go after Isaac but was held back by James."Let him go," James said coldly. There is still plenty of time.James had other considerations. No matter how arrogant Isaac had been today, he was still Ava's friend.James knew how softhearted his wife, if he had beaten up Isaac coldly today, his wife would most likely be upset.And James would earn the reputation of being a cruel man.His relationship with his wife might even fall apart because of an outsid
"Yes, the doctors face was turning red, and he was starting to have difficulty breathing, could you let go off me now?""Oh, James suddenly remembered that he was still grabbing the doctors collar and released his grip. He laughed sheepishly and said, "I'm so sorry, doctor. When you just sighed just now, I became super anxious.Young man, I sighed it's because you have been too careless. The doctor rubbed his neck before continuing, she's almost four months pregnant and still she isn't taking care of her body."Four months already?" James eyes widened in surprise.The doctor look suspeciously at James expression. What kind of husband are you? How could you not know your wife pregnant?" He shouted.And remember, you wife's body is a little weak. She passed out today because she has been exhausting herself out and also due to huge waves of emotions.The first trimester is very critical. You must pay more attention to your wife's health."Got it, said James. He held the doctors hand and

Although Jeffery heard that the Peter’s organization had collapsed, he was still very stubborn. He said, "James, I don't care if you are a useless piece of trash or Mr. Miller. When my backing comes, you'll definitely die." He just finished saying it. Then a group of men entered through the entrance of the hotel. When a male assistant who was in front of the group stopped walking, a video call was made to James’s cell phone. As james looked at the number, he raised his eyebrows and had a disdainful expression on his face."Davis..." James called and looked at the large television screen above him and nodded. "Yes, Mr. Miller." Davis understood immediately.Immediately, a familiar figure appeared on the television screen. The man was wearing an exquisitely designed and well-cut suit. His hair was neatly combed and he was wearing a pair of spectacles with refined gold frames. His eyes were like that of an eagle's; sharp and threatening. He exuded an irresistible and powerful aura from h
"Sure, I will go and carry it out," Tony said politely and hurriedly. "Withdraw all of Jeffery’s money from the Bank." Gracious lit a cigarette and took a deep puff. She blew out a long trail of smoke and continued, "And retrieve his collection of paintings as well.""Ms. Gracious, what are your plans?" Tony heard Gracious instructions and thought that she was planning to run away with all of Jeffery’s valuables and assets and not bothered about whether he was dead or alive."Tony, is this how you think of me?" Gracious walked over, raised her hand and gave him a hard slap. She continued, "Although I spend money and fool around with that gigolo that does not mean I am an ungrateful woman."Jeffery paid for my freedom from a nightelub and married me. I will never forget his kindness."Furthermore, even if I wanted to take everything, do you think that the other three women and their kids would allow that to happen? I'm still aware of my status." Tony covered his cheek and stood by the
"Sure, Mr. Miller," on the other side of the line, Leo answered respectfully. At this instant, Isaac who looked almost unrecognizable due to the beatings, was almost certain that James was not a fake. He was actually from the Miller family. However, he did not understand why James had to reduce himself to a useless piece of trash although he had such a powerful and wealthy background."James, you are really good at faking," Jeffery spoke arrogantly. When he heard his godfather's words, Isaac frowned and thought,"Godfather, godfather, do you know who you have offended?""We are finished, we are finished. This time, godfather is really finished. Even our family would... would also be destroyed."___At Sunshine___"Ms. Gracious... Ms. Gracious... Something has happened! Something disastrous has happened!"The housekeeper went upstairs and opened the bedroom door. At that moment, Gracious and her boy toy were messing around on the bed. Due to the sudden appearance of the housekeeper, Gra
Upon hearing that, Jeffery was completely stunned."James, what did you say?"Isaac had lost all his hopes. He was howling like a mad dog and said, "What makes you think that my godfather will listen to you?He is Jeffery Dick!""No matter... No matter where he is, be it in Sunshine or other places, no one dares to mess with him "Really, Mr. Dick? If what you say is true, why is your godfather kneeling here?"Davis gloated at him. "That is because...Godfather, what are you doing? Please get up! Why do you need to kneel before this piece of useless trash?You..." Isaac did not know how to reply Davis. He started wailing and shouting at Jeffery.Before Isaac finished his sentence, James pulled the trigger suddenly. The bullet brushed past his ear and hit a statue in the center of the lobby of the hotel. The bullet that came out of the gun hit the statue directly on its head.A loud bang was heard when the statue's head broke into half.Then the statue fell on the ground and broke into
Jeffery's body cringed as he felt the pain after James kicked him. However, very quickly, two members in the black camo suits came between two of them."James..." Jeffery tried to bear the pain in his body and covered his face. He wanted to save face and give himself a last trace of pride. He scoffed, "Don't think I am scared because of what you had planned and arranged!""Let me tell you! I... I am not afraid. I started making a living when I was 12 years old. I had to fight my way through, and I have seen so many bloody fights, confrontations and upheavals. I got through them all. Do you think I will be defeated today?""If you let me off today, we will talk it out. I will also forget that this matter had ever happened." Although Jeffery did not know who James really was, he already had a taste of what he was capable of. Now, he was trapped and unable to do anything. He had to do some sweet talk and get out of this humiliation.If not, he would not be able to survive in Sunshine or
"An armed car?"Jeffery's eyes were wide open."Mr. Dick, be careful!" As a piece of broken glass was about to pierce into Jeffery's neck, one of his men jumped in front of him to protect him.Then the armored car charged in. It was well equipped, and the members of the team dressed in black cami suits had live ammunition.Jeffery was in a state of shock. His men could not move at all when they saw the members of the team in black camo suits.Jeffery had been in many confrontations and fights all his life. However, he had never seen such a powerful and imposing battle array.Before he could come back to his senses, he felt whirlwind coming his way."Is that a... plane?" One of his men pointed to a big piece of open space. They saw a few planes that had landed there. "Not just planes, they are fighter planes... No, no, no, they should be combat aircraft." One of the men corrected him.After hearing "combat aircraft," the lobby was filled with sounds of things hitting the ground.Jeffer
"What are you talking about?" Jeffery gave this man one tight slap. "Of course, we have to save Isaac, but we need to deal with James and Davis.""Yes, Mr. Dick," All his men lowered their heads and roared in unison. As the sky got darker,Jeffery’s men finally found out where James was. "James was at his former residence. It is one of the Millers properties. The latest news is that Davis and James are now in the Hotel in the southern district.""Miller’s organization?" Jeffery squinted his eyes and snorted, "Leo has really done a lot. Just because James had saved his son, he actually allowed them to hide in one of his houses."Jeffery had investigated earlier on that James was the Bailey’s family's useless son-in-law. Then he had the backing and support of Leo to become the man with power and status today.After knowing all these, he despised James even more."What are we waiting for?Let's go." Jeffery drank the red wine from the glass and said, "Today I want James to beg like a dog
