Amelia turned to look at Ava and James sitting on the couch and asked, "Ava, do you know why they are here?"Mom..." Ava glanced at James before telling her parents the whole truth about the incident. "Do you remember the time I was trapped at Palm Club?"Amelia and Joseph looked at each other and said quizzically, "Was Allen not the one behind it?""Nope," Ava said solemnly. "The truth is, Angela was the mastermind. Now that James has his hands on some damming audio evidence, they are visiting us to apologize, hoping we'll let things slide.""What?" Amelia was promptly shocked before she said angrily, "Angela, is such a bitch. I do not expect her to be so vicious by nature.""Mom, Angela is doing it to ensure I will never become the manager of the branch office." Fear lingered in Ava's heart just thinking about what she had experienced."Turner and his family are simply assholes," Amelia scolded them angrily. "For the sake of driving us out of the company, they were capable of doing
Turner was completely powerless and looked dejected. "I am such a wuss." Turner raised his hand and gave himself a slap for being afraid of his wife. He has always had a good life and the people in Bailey Group always gave in to him, so he had never acted so cowardly before. Even if his wife did not come, what had to be done needed to be done. DING DONG! The doorbell chimed. Amelia looked at Joseph before quickly gesturing for him to open the door. "Joseph, I heard Ava got discharged from the hospital, so Angela and I decided to come over and visit," said Turner as he smiled. "Hello, Uncle Joseph," greeted Angela excitedly. The two of them entered through the door holding exquisite gift boxes. When they saw Amelia, Angela greeted her politely, "Hi, Aunt Amelia." "Aunt Amelia, I got you some bird's nest and tonic while I was abroad." Angela flattered Amelia the moment she sat down. Amelia glanced at the table full of gifts and smiled greedily in joy. "Hi, Angela. Thank you f
"Ava, does it mean you have no intention of letting Angela off?" Susan spoke genially in the hope of making Ava change her mind."When you were kids, you and Angela were very close. A long time ago when you started learning how to swim, you would have probably drowned if Angela did not save you, remember?""Aunt Susan, even though this happened many years ago when they were kids, you still remember it so clearly. You are undoubtedly a very sentimental woman." James straighten his back as he spoke with a serious look on his face, "I cannot help wondering then. If your daughter was as close to Ava as you mentioned and cared about Ava, why did she keep stealing credit from my wife all these years?""If Angela cared about Ava in the slightest, she would not have let Ava at Palm Club and put her in danger."Amelia and Joseph instantly went quiet on hearing this.After all, James made complete sense here. Their daughter was undoubtedly guilty of doing it."James, did you not hear what I sai
"This is unbelievable. You're such a wuss." Amelia's raised her head and glared at her husband in contempt. "Well, they asked for it, didn't they? They should never have done that, so this is just a tit-for-tat. Moreover, James was the one who planned it all. If anything they should go after him instead.""In reality, I think James is good. He was in the control the entire time, so you really should stop looking down on him," said Joseph softly."Get this straight, do not be fooled by that boy." Amelia put away the white jade bracelet and said sinisterly, "I know exactly what James is trying to do. Does he think anything he does can escape my eyes?"He is simply worried we will kick him out of the family now that Ava has accomplished something.""What do you mean? Do you still intend on telling Ava to divorce the boy?" Joseph was reading today's newspaper, but he put them down and frowned as he asked his wife quizzically."That gives without saying of course." Amelia looked at the key
James and Davis got together a few days later. After a tense discussion, they swiftly hammered her the details of their partnership. Whizystems invested 600 million dollars while Davis invested 200 million dollars to form a joint venture company called "Life Long Collectible." In addition to the 600 million dollars invested by the companies, the company also attracted liquid funds from other sources. And the true purpose of the minor wave of capital inflow depended on connections and market control. Other than promoting Western art and collectibles, James also advised Davis to use Life Long Collectible to acquire foreign private museums and art galleries as well as to buy up small mid-sized auction houses to strive and forge their investment services in the auction world. The newly established CP Auction House relied on the strength of its formidable capital to swiftly sweep across the European and Americana markets. Even the local antique dealers extended olive branches one by o
"Amanda and Elliot are here," Announced Bryan with so much pride.Bryan ushered the couple into the room and gestured towards the man who was decked in a luxury suit. "Let me introduce you to my soon-to-be son-in-law, Elliot Forcados. He graduated from Havard and is the CEO of a multinational corporation that deals with collectibles," Bryan introduced."Elliot says that they will hold two weddings; here and another one overseas, and both would have to be grand. He is not concerned about the money, as long as the weddings are as grand as possible; Lisa boasted."I'll be honest with you, Amelia. Ever since I heard that I'm going to have such an outstanding soon-to-be-in-law, I have been over the moon," Lisa added.Amelia and Joseph did not look very pleased. Just a moment ago, the two of them were still bragging about how well their daughter was doing at the Bailey Group. But now, she was outshined by the Bradford's soon-to-be son-in-law.The worst part was that having a son-in-law like
Amelia asked in surprise, "Why did you go there?""To buy a house," James replied."Buy a house?" Bryan couldn't help bursting into laughter. "James, is that a joke?""Absolutely not," answered James honestly. "We were there to buy a house, literally.""James, listen to me," said Bryan as he put down his chopsticks, his face full of ridicule. it's nice for young men like you to have dreams, but that's different from daydreaming. You've to base it on your practical situation."Before Bryan came home, he never knew that domestic housing prices had risen so harshly.Bryan knew clearly that Elliot, who had just returned from abroad, couldn't have afforded the house if not for his parent's support.Buying the house has been a struggle for a Harvard graduate like Bryan, more to say the loser, James."You shut up," Amelia glared at James and said. "We know your incompetence more than anyone does, so stop bragging. You're only humiliating all of us."After she finished speaking, she also gave
"Ow, James." Amanda sneered with her arms around her chest, "You're my cousin's husband, and I respect you for that, but that doesn't mean you can rudely interrupt me.""Yeah," James nodded with a smile. "But I think I can.""Then, let me tell you." Amanda raised her eyebrows and said disdainfully, "My parents have run restaurants abroad for many years. We have never seen a delivery guy that could buy a multi-million-dollar house. You're such a bad liar."At this point, Amelia also felt a bit puzzled why James looked so confident. She knew Amanda was wrong because Ava didn't have the money to buy such a big house.Ava's career had just taken off. When she was the director of the branch company, her monthly salary was less than 10 grand.In addition to the house rent, water and electricity bills, and the 3,000 dollar pension for her parents, Ava had to support James too. Those expenses aside, she could barely save any money.Therefore, there was no way she could afford such an expensiv

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
