Jennifer was unaware of Walter's thoughts, and perhaps even if she knew, she wouldn't have cared. She glanced at Scott, sounding bored as she asked, "Seriously, why did you come back to this city?"Scott sat on the chair near the window, close to the transparent floor. From this floor, he could see the cityscape below.He paid no attention and said, "As I mentioned before, I came back here only to commemorate Brian on his anniversary and to eliminate all the Arnold family's henchmen before investing in this city. This city will serve as a conduit for me to take over the capital's economy."Everything was just beginning. Jennifer could sense the resentment emanating from Scott; he genuinely sought revenge, but it wasn't an entirely positive state, especially considering his current mental state.Jennifer couldn't help but sigh inwardly, expressing dissatisfaction. "I don't believe you at all. I heard your wife is beautiful. Are you really back to divorce her or reconcile with her?"
Elly saw that Jennifer's smile remained unchanged and couldn't help but frown, speaking in a low voice, "Let me tell you, Scott once harassed me."Upon hearing this, Jennifer couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, the disdain in her eyes impossible to conceal. Elly, noticing this, couldn't help but tighten her grip on her fists, feeling a bit uncomfortable.Jennifer looked at Elly with a cold and scornful gaze. She suddenly burst into laughter, a mocking smile flooding her face. She spoke without a hint of pity, "This girl, do you think Scott would degrade himself to harass you when he has a wife like your sister and a girl like me by his side?"With a contemplative gaze, she continued, "Your face... isn't worthy of him lowering himself to harassment."Elly widened her eyes, seemingly surprised by Jennifer's words. She clenched her teeth, anger reaching the point where she couldn't control her words.Jennifer then turned her gaze to Aboli, mocking, "You don't seem like a brainless wo
Scott looked at Jennifer's back, his eyes narrowing slightly. He wouldn't fall for Jennifer's angry act. Because he didn't lie, he no longer loved Aboli.He had loved her before, but not anymore.His feelings had dried up, leaving only respect for Brian and affection and gratitude for Jennifer and Walter, the ones who had always fought for him.He was clear that he had struggled to survive until today only for revenge, revenge against the one who had caused him pain.Jennifer seemed to sense something and hastily turned back. Indeed, she saw Scott's eyes moistening, deep, and dangerous like a bottomless pit, emitting a dangerous aura.He was sinking back into hatred.Jennifer quickly walked up and grabbed Scott's hand, her face showing no sign of any unhappiness. She slightly pouted and said, "Anyway, since you said you'd go shopping with me, I'll forgive you. But we haven't bought anything yet; let's go in here."She finished speaking and immediately pulled Scott into a nearby je
Scott paid no attention to the two people in front of him but discreetly kicked Jennifer's leg, signaling her to pay up. With their close relationship, this action seemed harmless. However, something unexpected happened. Jennifer suddenly tilted her head, smiled at him for a moment, then grimaced in pain without any warning. She screamed and started crying. She looked at Scott with eyes filled with sadness and anger. "You're always deceiving my money and feelings! You can't even buy me a necklace, making me lose face in front of so many people. Do you think you deserve me?" she exclaimed. Scott: "..." Okay, he didn't deserve her, and he didn't dare to. But could she give him a little warning before acting next time? Feeling a need to bring Jennifer back to reality, Scott tried to remind her. However, Jennifer didn't stop. "Fine, let's break up. I can't stand you anymore," she said in a sorrowful tone. Scott: "..." He remained silent, letting Jennifer continue her per
Ron wanted to call for his protection as usual, but the pain seemed to make him more alert.He thought of someone he felt more suitable to deal with, Scott!Without hesitation, he pressed the phone and shouted, "Cousin, you have to take charge. Someone dared to hit me!"A familiar, disdainful voice echoed from the phone, "How dare this person?! Clearly, they don't respect the Smith family. Quick, where are you?!"However, it was Brando's voice.Scott couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly. Ron quickly reported the name of the store, then abruptly hung up the phone. It was evident that Brando was quickly heading towards their store.Ron was still writhing in pain on the ground. After a while, he could have stood up, but he certainly wouldn't do so now. He wanted his cousin to see his current state before severely punishing Scott!Anyway, Ron was confident that someone like Scott couldn't resist the power of the Smith family!At this moment, Brando had arrived, confidently ente
Scott and Jennifer return to the hotel. The top floor of the hotel has been reserved by Scott so that they can work conveniently without much disturbance. Jennifer goes back to her room and starts organizing her work. She has enjoyed the day out, and it's time for her to switch to work mode.Scott sits in his room, his eyes gazing out the window as if lost in thought. At this moment, a knocking sound suddenly echoes, accompanied by Walter's voice: "Chairman, are you in there?" Scott maintains his posture, almost instantly responding, "Come in."Walter enters, seeing Scott sitting and looking out the window. He doesn't comment on it and proceeds to report, "Chairman, we are planning to organize a real estate cooperation project bidding session three days from now. Meeting each family one by one in this city is not efficient. Organizing a bidding session, where the one offering higher and more suitable benefits will be considered for collaboration, will be much faster. At the same
"No, not an alliance with the Henry family, but an alliance with me, Taylor Henry," Taylor said confidently. Scott couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly, his gaze showing a hint of depth.In a calm tone, Scott asked, "What do you have for me to collaborate with you?" It wasn't that Scott looked down on Taylor, but when it came to collaboration, he always prioritized those with both power and intelligence. Intelligence alone couldn't bring quick results for him.Taylor didn't hide anything. He directly stated, "Star A Corporation is under my ownership." Hearing this, Scott couldn't help but raise his eyebrow a bit more; this time, he was genuinely surprised.It was known that Star A Corporation was a renowned conglomerate built from scratch, with no backing from any prominent family. Established for five years, the corporation had faced pressure from various families, yet it stood strong without collapsing. Currently, it has branches in several cities. Though unspoken, the
Only seeing Scott suddenly lift his head, his lips slightly curled in a faint smile.His deep, pitch-black eyes seemed to emit a chilling and terrifying light, appearing both cold and enthusiastic.It was difficult to discern the meaning behind this smile of his.He simply stepped forward slightly, the gun's muzzle immediately touching his forehead.He raised his hand lightning-fast, grabbing the gun barrel. His voice, devilishly gentle, said, "Go ahead, I'm really looking forward to it."The gunman hesitated for a moment, almost squeezing the trigger.Others reacted, and Taylor, on the side, felt his breath hitch.He dared not imagine what would happen if Scott died here; he and Star A Corporation would fall into a revenge plot.However, Scott didn't even give him a chance to talk.The gangsters were also getting agitated.Their mission was just to beat someone up; the people sent here were inexperienced in the organization.If they were people with higher authority and a bit of int
