2022-07-18 19:31:42Amelia said, neither you nor your talent was worse than Allen. What happened to you now was all because you went against your grandfather's wish."
James, who was still outside the door, became nervous and his heart, beat rapidly when he heard that.
"Mom," Ava said firmly, no matter what you say, I will never divorce James."
"Ava, are you crazy? Why are you staying with that loser? Can't you give him up?" Amelia stood up angrily from the ground and grabbed Ava's shoulder, saying, "You're being sued now, but your grandfather doesn't care! You might go to jail."
"Then so be it. I'm not afraid," Ava raised her head and said firmly.
"That's insane! You're crazy..." Amelia shook her head with a bitter smile. She has always believed that her daughter wanted a divorce from James the most, but it turned out that she was wrong.
James also felt his wife's firmness was unexpected.
After their honeymoon phase was over, they had been living a hard life. And James had thought that he was a burden, an unbearable loser in Ava's heart.
Yet, he did not expect her to still have feelings for him.
James gave a wry smile as he stood up from the ground and walked out of the hospital.
He walked with firm steps as if he had made some major decisions.
He had to change for Ava.
He would no longer allow others to look down upon him or ridicule him.
And he swore he would protect the woman he loved.
Therefore, James dialed a phone number that he had never contacted in the past three years.
Soon, the call went through.
"Hi, Leo." James pursed his lips helplessly and said, "There's something that I need you to help me with."
"Mr. Miller! Thank God." You finally called me!" Leo Meyer on the other end of the phone was so excited that he almost cried tears of joy. "It has been three years, and now you're finally willing to contact me! Do you know what kind of life Mr. Miller and I have been living? We..."
"Alright, stop nagging." James interrupted him impatiently and said, "Just tell me. Can you deal with this matter or not?"
"Yeah, sure!" Leo quickly replied, flatteringly. "I will do my best to help you with everything! Even if you asked me to do a hundred or even a thousand things, I won't ever hesitate."
"But Mr. Miller," Leo changed his tone and pretended to be embarrassed. "According to your agreement with Sir Miller, if you use your family assets and connections, you'll have to..."
"I know." Before Leo could finish speaking, James impatiently interrupted him again, "I have to go home and inherit my family properties. right?"
"So that means..." Leo said excitedly, Mr. Miller, you've agreed to come back and inherit the business and assets of the Miller family, right?"
"That's right. Go back and tell him that his plan has worked." James continued unwillingly, "I'll go back and inherit it."
"Mr. Miller! Mr. Miller!" Leo was so excited that he almost dropped his phone. "Where are you now? I'll send a car to pick you up!"
"Oh, no! Just stay there and wait for me. I'll come in person and pick you up," Leo said again.
"It's fine, Leo," James said calmly. "You've known me well since I was young. As long as I made a promise. I will keep it. So, don't worry. I am not running away!"
"Yes, you're right, Mr. Miller," Leo said with a smile when he heard that, "Why don't you come to the company? Let's meet and talk about the details."
"Alright. I'll be there by myself." After saying that, James hung up.
Raising his head to look at the clouds in the sky, James could not help but reveal a bitter smile.
Now, it was time to let them know the truth. James was not a penniless and unaccomplished loser.
Instead, he was the heir of the super wealthy family that owned more than billions of assets.
He had assets all over the world and owned three listed companies, in which he held more than half of the shares.
Three years ago, James cut off all ties with his family because he had a conflict with Sir Miller. Since then, he had started living his life as an ordinary person.
However, he had no choice but to give in when life had pushed him to face the cruel reality of life.
There was a saying about his situation.
'if the heir of a rich family didn't do well in living a self-dependent life, he would have to return home and inherit his family fortunes."

Mr. Johnson could not be polite any longer. He lifted his chin at Sophia and signaled her to continue calling security. After all, Miller's organization was one of the top 500 companies in the world. The reception hall represented the image of the company. They could not allow such trash to appear and cause a scene. Soon, the security guards rushed over.

"I called him to come here," Ava said impatiently. "Ava, take care." James stood up from the chair and smiled at her, saying, "Don't worry! I'll take care of this issue about Cartier." As he turned around, Oliver's smile was different. It was filled with disdain and pride. "Oliver, thank you for helping me," Ava said politely as she watched him leave.

Upon hearing that they seemed to be something, wrong with Henry, James was worried that he would do something stupid. Following the location that Henry had sent him, James soon arrived at Blue ring. Henry was sitting on the stairs with beer cans scattered all around him. It seemed like he already drank quite a lot. "James, I'm so glad that you finally came." Henry was half drunk, his eyes red from crying. It was said that men would not cry unless something big happened to them.

What was going on? Not only was Lucas shocked, but Henry was also taken aback. "Mr. Ruben," James snorted and said, "Looks like these people are doubting my identity. In this case, I think you'll have to explain it." "Who dares to doubt you?" Mr. Ruben put on a solemn face and announced, I'm telling you, from now on, Mr. James Miller is the new boss of Learn intelligence." "Mr. Ruben, are you kidding me?"

Leo Meyer was the richest man in Sunshine. How could he and James know each other? How was that possible? Bella was Ava's Cousin and Allen's sister. Both Allen and Bella have similar personalities. They both like to flatter the rich and despised the poor. In addition, they both thought that James was a loser. In comparison with Allen, Bella was harsher when she insulted and mocked James. Every time she met James she would use the words such as "a loathsome freak, useless trash, good for nothing, loser, and something along the line to insult him." However, her useless cousin-in-law was currently talking to the richest man in Honor Grave. "Bella, who is he?" The man driving the car asked her curiously. "Drive the car over."

They didn't invite many people to the birthday party because of the lawsuit issue. They just invited their neighbors and close friends to have a meal in the private room. In the late afternoon, James brought the present to the private room with Ava. Her parents were talking with their friends. "Ava and her husband!" "He looks great! They are a perfect couple!" They greeted Ava and James politely. Amelia was a bit sullen and forced a smile. "Hello, everyone." Ava greeted them politely and hugged Amelia. "Mom, happy birthday. This is the present for you!" Amelia smiled. Her friends said that Ava was a great daughter. James handed Amelia the present too. "Happy birthday." But Amelia treated him differently. She put on a long face. "Put it here." "He is a good man! Mrs. Bailey, you are so lucky to have him as your son-in-law. My son-in-law did nothing for me on my birthday. He just made a call. They have no comparison." "Yeah!

But today is Mrs. Bailey's birthday. Could you please let us finish the meal here? I'll pay a visit to you to show my gratitude." Mr. Robert took the business card and looked at it. He glanced at James and nodded. "Fine. Now that it's her birthday, I should not make things difficult for you on such a big day. You can have the room." He winked at James and left. Apparently, he agreed just because of James. But people didn't think so. After that, they gave Oliver compliments. "Oliver you're awesome. Young and wonderful! You've good manners. No wonder he said yes!" "Yeah. If James hadn't done that, he might have been harshly treated." I think Oliver's business card worked.

CHAPTER 248
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
CHAPTER 245
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
CHAPTER 244
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
CHAPTER 243
"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
CHAPTER 242
"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
