Toppling the World with His Empire Chapter 129:
Abigail returns home after a long day at school. She opened the old wooden door and gently closed it behind her. Their house is not a luxury villa or luxury apartment, but just a small, normal house in the suburbs.Abigail walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and poured herself a glass of cool water. Looking around the house, Abigail realized her father was not here. She knew he had an important appointment with a business partner today. Usually such meetings don't last too long, but today was later than usual.She walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside. The sky was starting to get gloomy, dark clouds gathered, signaling a heavy rain was coming. Abigail suddenly felt worried. Her father never forgot to bring an umbrella every time he went out, but this morning he left home in a hurry and left the umbrella at the corner of the door.The rain suddenly came, heavy drops of water hitting the window, creating steady splashing sounds. Abigail bit her lip, not tak

Mr. Henry breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. You have to pay attention to taking care of your health, don't let the disease reoccur.""I know, Dad." Abigail nodded, her eyes gently looking at her father.Abigail and Mr. Henry sat quietly together, feeling the warmth spreading in the small house."Abigail, you should rest. You must be very tired today," Mr. Henry said, his voice warm and full of concern.Abigail smiled and gently replied, "I'm okay, dad. I want to be with you a little longer.""You are always strong and hardworking. Dad is so lucky to have you." Mr. Henry looked at his daughter, filled with pride and love.Abigail felt a heavy heart when she saw her father suffer. The wound on Mr. Henry's leg and the crumpled coins in the old cloth bag are clear evidence of the sacrifices and hardships he went through. Every time she saw the tiredness clearly visible on his face, her heart felt an indescribable pain.Remembering Joseph's suggestion, she became even more confused.

Abigail weakly swallowed the pill, her vision blurring. After a few minutes, Abigail's breathing gradually became more steady, and her face slowly regained its color. Mr. Henry sighed in relief, but the fear had not entirely dissipated."Are you feeling better, Abigail?"Abigail nodded slightly, still weak. "Yes, I feel better. Thank you, Dad."Mr. Henry hugged his daughter tightly, tears welling up. "I'm sorry, Abigail. I've made you endure so much. I really don't know what to do anymore."Abigail gently placed her hand on her father's shoulder, her gaze tender yet resolute. "Dad, I just want you to be happy and healthy."Mr. Henry remained silent, filled with emotions. He knew his daughter was right, but the fear and trauma from the past still weighed heavily on his mind. However, seeing Abigail's determined eyes warmed his heart."Abigail, I will think about this. I promise you."Abigail smiled, though still tired. "I believe in you, Dad. We'll get through this together."After Abi

The woman burst into tears, her sobs echoed in the quiet room. "Please, we are just innocent people. Please forgive us!"Jayce stepped closer, the paper knife still in his hand, the cold metal reflecting the light in the room. The people tied up in front of him were all trembling, their eyes showing extreme fear."Please, spare our lives! We can atone for our sins!" the woman begged, her voice choked up. "I have an old mother and young children, they need me. Please, give me a chance."Jayce stopped, his eyes coldly scanning each person. In front of him was a man trying to drag himself on the ground with his knees, his eyes looking up at Jayce pleadingly. "Jayce, Joseph is really not ordinary. He is also pretending to be sick. I swear to you, please be careful and reconsider."Jayce frowned, suspicion flashing in his eyes. "Speak clearly."The man took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. "That day, in the hospital room, Joseph suddenly woke up and attacked the two of us. He was very s

Jayce leaned back in his chair, his eyes cold and sharp. "A complicated family," he thought. "If Charlotte's mother was a money-grubbing mother, she could have caused a lot of trouble for Joseph. And David, a worthless bastard, could be the weak link in their scheme."Jayce turned back to Tyler, his eyes filled with determination. "Tyler, I want you to focus on finding out more about Joseph and where that money came from. We need to know everything about him, no detail left out."Tyler nodded, his eyes shining with determination. "Understood, sir. I will investigate thoroughly and report back as soon as I have new information."Jayce sat down at his desk, his fingers tapping lightly on the wooden surface, his eyes lingering on the box cutter embedded in the table. He knew this fight wouldn't be easy, but he also believed he could overcome any challenge. With each new piece of information, each little clue, Jayce felt himself getting closer to understanding and defeating Joseph."Charl

Outside, large glass panels create an open space, allowing customers sitting inside to watch people passing by. Inside, the shop is decorated in warm tones, the soft yellow light from the chandeliers creates a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. The lovely wooden tables and chairs are neatly arranged, green plants are placed in the corners of the room, creating a close and pleasant space.Jayce walked into the shop, his eyes scanned the space, quickly finding his target. Charlotte sat in the corner of the room, wearing an elegant blue dress, her long black hair falling down to her shoulders. She was bowing her head, her eyes focused on the cup of coffee in front of her. The soft light from the window shone on her face, creating a peaceful scene but filled with calculation and worry.Jayce paused, his gaze cold and sharp like a predator sizing up its prey. He looked at Charlotte,

Hearing the name Joseph, Charlotte's eyes widened, and there were indescribable mixed emotions in her heart.This person is... Jospeh's brother?Charlotte's eyes swept up and down the strange man. He looked rich, and there was an assistant following him, proving that his status was not ordinary. And yet this person was Jospeh's brother?Armani suit, Salvatore Ferragamo leather shoes, Rolex watch, proving that he was not only rich but extremely rich. A question repeated over and over in Charlotte's mind, making her dizzy."You... are you joking?"Charlotte moved her lips, uttering a broken sentence, her voice hoarse."I'm not joking, what's wrong? Didn't Jospeh tell you that he has an older brother and a younger brother?"Jayce knew that the prey had taken the bait, and he secretly felt happy and proud. Looking at Charlotte's pale face that showed disbelief, Jayce felt like it was a wonderful visual feast that brought him satisfaction.On the surface, Jayce appeared surprised, but in h

He moved forward, each step heavy, his emotions boiling as if about to explode.Anthony moved closer, his eyes examining Charlotte and the strange man. Although deep down, he didn't really love Charlotte deeply, but his desire to monopolize and take advantage of her made him unable to stand this scene. To Anthony, Charlotte is part of his plan, an important piece that he cannot let anyone else touch."Charlotte, what's going on here?" Anthony asked, his voice trying to sound calm but unable to hide his annoyance and jealousy.Charlotte raised her head and saw Anthony, surprise and worry flashed across her face. "Anthony, why are you here?"The stra

Joseph nodded slightly, not showing any emotion. "Charlotte is still safe, right?" Joseph asked, his voice calm, but his eyes intently watching Coco's reaction. This was his way of probing her, not about Charlotte, but for any sign that she knew or was involved in the death. Coco abruptly lifted her head, her eyes filled with anger. "What are you talking about, Joseph? Why would you ask me that? Do you think I don't care about Charlotte?" The anger in Coco's voice made Joseph realize he had touched on something sensitive. But what was she angry about? Because he suspected her, or because she really had something to hide? "I meant no harm, Coco," Joseph replied, trying to calm the situation. "I just want to make sure everything is okay... between us and with Charlotte." But he knew his words wouldn't soothe her anger. Coco stood up abruptly, her eyes full of frustration and rage. "Joseph, what kind of person do you think I am? I've always been by your side, helping you th
Chapter 199:
Coco slowly guided Joseph back to his room, each of their steps heavy like the tense atmosphere surrounding them. Joseph was still somewhat intoxicated, but he maintained a calm demeanor, occasionally nodding to the staff they passed along the way. His eyes were fixed ahead, but his mind was swirling with chaotic thoughts about everything that had just happened. Coco walked beside him silently, holding his arm securely, her eyes betraying her concern.At last, the door to the room appeared before them. Coco gently opened it and helped Joseph inside, closing it behind them. As soon as the door shut, the atmosphere in the room changed completely. Outside, the noise and bustle of the party still lingered, but inside, there was only an eerie silence. Faint light filtered through the curtains, casting soft shadows across the room.Joseph turned on the light, a soft golden glow spilling throughout the space. Suddenly, he pushed Coco away, surprising her. He didn’t say a word, instead quietl
Chapter 198:
Joseph stood amidst the lively atmosphere of the party, but his mind felt lost in a maze of confusion. He tried to piece together the fragments of the events, but the more he thought about it, the more complicated everything became. If Jayce wasn’t the one who killed Charlotte, and he wasn’t behind Mrs. Smith’s death either, then Jayce must be panicking. Two key pawns Jayce had planned to use to threaten him had mysteriously vanished. So, who was behind all of this?Joseph couldn’t stop asking himself questions. “Is there someone silently helping me, or do they have a bigger agenda?” The appearance of a third force in this game could completely change the outcome. This made him uneasy. If someone was helping him, why would they choose such a method? And if they had ulterior motives, was he becoming a pawn in their hands?Looking over at Jayce, Joseph noticed that although Jayce outwardly appeared calm, he was likely in turmoil inside. Coco approached him, her eyes filled with concer
Chapter 197:
The murmurs in the hall grew louder, and the once formal atmosphere of the party began to descend into chaos. Groups of guests gathered, whispering about the murder near the café. Faces were filled with anxiety, and eyes darted around, searching for an explanation.“Did you hear? The murder case,” a woman in a red dress turned to her companion, her voice trembling. “The killer hasn’t been caught yet, and the police have no leads.”“How terrifying! So close to here too, who would have thought something like this could happen in such a peaceful place,” her friend replied, nervously glancing around.People began to speculate about the murder, with theories spreading quickly and seemingly without end. Everyone presented their own assumptions, creating a tense atmosphere. Some suggested a family feud, while others thought it might be an act of revenge.“It could be robbery gone wrong… or maybe some kind of vendetta? I heard the victim was the mother of a wealthy CEO,” a man suggested.“But

Coco hurried into the party, her eyes scanning the crowd anxiously as she searched for Joseph. She looked around frantically, her breath quickening as she walked swiftly past groups of guests engaged in conversation. Her gaze finally landed on Joseph, who stood near a corner of the room, his face tired and pensive. Coco approached him, unable to hide the worry in her eyes."Joseph!" Coco called softly, her voice a bit urgent. "Where have you been? I didn’t see you at all during the party."Joseph turned to face her, giving a faint smile but maintaining his calm demeanor. "I just stepped out for some personal business, nothing important," he said smoothly, though there was a subtle tension in his eyes that Coco couldn’t ignore.Coco frowned, the uneasy feeling in her heart growing stronger. "Personal business? Are you sure?" she asked gently, her voice full of concern. "I tried calling you several times, but you didn’t pick up. Is something wrong?"Joseph looked straight into Coco’s ey
Chapter 195:
Charlotte lay motionless on the cold floor, her body still, and the pool of blood beneath her had already dried. The dim light from the room cast down on her pale, lifeless face, creating a heavy and terrifying atmosphere. The room was eerily silent, as if frozen in time, with only the faint sound of wind whistling through the crack in the window, disturbing the unnerving quiet.Suddenly, Charlotte's body twitched slightly. A barely noticeable, sudden movement, but it shattered the oppressive silence of the room. Her eyes, once tightly shut in death, abruptly opened wide, her dull eyes now filled with pain. Though devoid of life, somehow she opened her eyes as if pulled back from the brink of death by an unseen force.Charlotte’s throat convulsed, and suddenly, a dry retch escaped her mouth. Her hands instinctively gripped her neck, struggling to suppress something rising within her stomach. Her body convulsed in extreme agony, and soon after, she began to vomit violently, thick, blac
Chapter 194:
Joseph stood silently next to Charlotte, the initial horror gradually giving way to a sense of clarity. Though a storm of painful emotions churned inside him, he knew he couldn't let them overwhelm his reason at this moment. Something was off, and his instincts as someone experienced made him want to understand more about the cause of Charlotte's death.Joseph's gaze swept across Charlotte's body, now motionless on the cold floor. Blood had spread across the floor, soaking into her pristine white dress, creating a tragic scene. He knelt closer, his eyes carefully observing the color of her skin and the livor mortis that had already begun to appear.With his forensic knowledge, Joseph noticed that Charlotte's skin had turned a pale gray, with blood pooling beneath the skin, forming dark purple blotches in areas where the blood had settled. This gave him an important clue: Charlotte had been dead for at least 4 to 6 hours. A chill ran down Joseph's spine as he came to this conclusion, a
Chapter 193:
Joseph and Brian held their breath, trying to remain completely silent in the darkness. From their hiding spot, they could clearly see everything happening around the stairwell. The faint light from the second-floor hallway cast long shadows on the floor below.The sound of footsteps continued to echo, each step pounding in their chests. Then, Tyler's figure appeared, slowly making his way up the stairs from the first to the second floor. In his hand, he held something, not too large in size but wrapped in a black cloth, making it difficult for anyone to discern what it was.A stack of documents, perhaps?Joseph and Brian watched intently, trying to gather every detail. Tyler showed no signs of haste; he moved with a suspicious calmness, as if he had complete control of the situation. When he reached the second floor, Tyler paused, looked ahead, and then continued up without the slightest hesitation.Joseph felt the tension inside him rising with every passing moment. There was someth
Chapter 192:
Joseph sensed the sudden change in the atmosphere. "What just happened in there?" he thought to himself, his eyes never leaving the scene before him. The bodyguards did not exchange any words, just quickly got into the car at an incredible speed, as if they wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible.Brian frowned, a sense of unease filling his heart. "Did you see that? They're panicking," he said, his voice filled with doubt. "Something very unusual happened in the Smith house."Jayce's car immediately started up, the headlights turned on, and it backed away at a much faster speed than when it had come. Joseph and Brian could not believe their eyes as Jayce's car left the Smith house in a hurry and panic. This wasn’t how Jayce would act if everything was going according to plan.Brian nodded, his eyes filled with uncertainty. “It’s obvious something’s very wrong. What do you think we should do next?”Joseph was silent for a moment, his mind racing, trying to figure out what
