"Today's problem at Luna's wedding, we already know about it! You're a bad luck charm, James! You've embarrassed us so much!" Maria continued. She reproached James.

"Mom, enough! Let's not talk about it anymore. We can't blame James. This is just a drama created by Tommy. James didn't do anything wrong there. Besides, Uncle Edwin's family doesn't want to help us.

After hearing Sheva's response, Maria got even angrier. And she said with anger still running high, "Why are you defending him? He has embarrassed you! If you hadn't married him, our lives wouldn't be this poor. You should have married a rich man!"

Sheva's father could only sigh, his face full of sadness.

Meanwhile, James could only remain silent. He went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. As usual, in his wife's family home he was a servant.

1 hour later, James finished cooking and put the meal on the dining table. The family gathered at the dining table.

"James, you must have heard what Luna said today..." Maria looked at James with a flat expression.

"Mom!" Sheva put down the chopsticks. "I'm not going to get divorced because someone forced me to!"

"Why? Do you love James?" Maria glared at her daughter. "Don't you know that your dad's business has gone bankrupt? What will we eat in the future?"

"The trouble James caused at Luna's wedding was very serious. Besides hitting Tommy, James made a mess of it, and it caused embarrassment from Hans, Luna, and the Edwin family to all their honored guests!" Maria continued. "I'm sure they'll take it out on our family, so divorcing him is the best option!"

Sheva bit her lower lip, even though she didn't want to divorce James yet, but she found this situation very difficult. She was starting to get confused.

Maria said to her husband, "Eden, why are you silent? Persuade your daughter to divorce your useless son-in-law!"

Eden was helpless, he remained silent.

James finished eating, he cleared his plate and went back to his own room.

In the room, as James was about to go to sleep, there was a new message in his email. It was a notification that his wealth access had been unlocked. For 10 years, Timothy's family had blocked his limited account as a threat to the departure of him and his biological mother from Timothy's family home, due to his father's affair.

Reading the notice, James smiled sarcastically.

***

The next day.

James had just walked out of his father-in-law's residential area, but he was intercepted by a black Bentley car.

From inside the car, a middle-aged man wearing a black suit, and an expressionless face stared at James.

The middle-aged man's body was powerful, his facial curves were clear, a sharp nose, a pair of shining eyes, the whole person was very authoritative, and had an aura. His face was slightly similar to James.

"I didn't expect you to come looking for me right away," James said. The corners of his mouth turned up in a sardonic smile. After ten years, he still recognized the middle-aged man in front of him, he was Gerald Timothy. He was James' biological father.

"I know you don't want to see me, that's fine. But, don't you want to meet your grandfather one last time?" Gerald Timothy asked.

James was silent for a moment. In his family, only his grandfather was kind to him. He remembered his childhood, his grandfather always accompanied him.

Gerald said waking up James' reverie, "Let's find a place. Let's talk nicely."

Twenty minutes later, at one of the biggest restaurants in the city Leeds, 20th floor, there was only Gerald and James. They sat opposite each other.

"Your grandfather has been seriously ill for two years. He can only lie in bed. His health is getting worse. And he just wants you back. He keeps mentioning your name all the time." Gerald said carefully. He took a breath, and then continued, "Your first and third uncles only had daughters. They had no sons. The next generation of the Timothy family is you. You are our only hope."

James smiled sarcastically. "So, you just want to use me as your doll in seizing the family assets?" James furrowed his brow slightly and smiled sarcastically. He knew exactly what kind of person his father was, he could do anything for power.

"James, do you want a lifetime of living in that little Eden Hilton house? And are you willing to accept their humiliation every day?" Gerald slowly said. Earlier, he had already investigated his son's life.

"Yesterday, at Edwin Hilton's daughter's wedding, I know you received great slander and humiliation. But your ability to stand up to them was nothing!" Gerald said again. "Then, do you not want to hold power yourself? Don't you want to fight back against them?"

"If you are willing to accept my offer, then you can make all the Hilton family kneel at your feet!" Gerald continued to persuade James.

James just shook his head.

Gerald snorted, and then said, "I know you hate me for life, not even recognizing me as your father. That's okay, James. It doesn't matter to me. But, all you have to do is come back to our house and meet your grandfather. Then, sign the papers to accept your grandfather's power and wealth."

"This opportunity is hard to come by. Aren't you willing to accept it? I'm helping you."

James shook his head. "I won't accept your help!"

"I'll find time to go home to see my grandfather. But, as for the matter of signing your offer as successor to grandfather's power and wealth, I won't!" said James. He smiled sarcastically, and stood up to leave the restaurant.

On the way, James' cell phone suddenly rang. Someone was calling him.

"Hello?" said James as he put the phone to his ear.

"James, you're a loser! Where are you now? Hurry to the hospital! I've prepared the divorce agreement, and you have to come and sign it!" James' mother-in-law said.

"What's wrong? Why go to the hospital?" James asked.

"Today Tommy came to the house, he argued with Sheva's father about the factory issue, and there was a riot. Tommy hit Sheva's father and got hurt and had to go to the hospital. Meanwhile, Sheva also fainted from arguing with Tommy. Now, Tommy is still forcing us. He's going to confiscate our house. He said you must divorce Sheva, then he will let go of our family and help our bankrupt factory!" Maria explained.

"I'm begging you, James. Please divorce my daughter! Our family can't take this torture anymore." Maria cried saying this. The situation was urgent.

"Yes. I'll be there now." James said and then disconnected the phone.

"Sheva fainted?" James' eyes became sharp, and he imagined Tommy Hilton's face angrily.

***

Welter Group Building, Leeds City.

This is the second largest company in Leeds city, the building is very tall. 75 floors in total.

Before going to the hospital, James came to this building and walked in.

"Sir, who are you looking for?" The female receptionist asked James.

"I'm looking for your CEO. Dicky Welter," James said.

Dicky Welter is one of the businessmen in this city, he is the 2nd richest man in this city. His power is very strong. Many people respect and appreciate him.

"Have you made an appointment with Mr. Dicky, Sir?"

"Not yet. But tell him that I am Timothy's grandson," James said.

The receptionist understood. She went straight to Dicky's room to tell him.

3 minutes later, the receptionist returned. She invited James to come to Dicky's room.

At the door, an old man greeted James respectfully. He smiled happily, because the moment he had been waiting for had finally come. Of course, he was very familiar with the grandson of his best friend who was the number one richest man in the city and country. However, Timothy's family never publishes and needs validation from everyone that they are very rich. However, other rich people would have great respect for Timothy's family.

"Young master! It's been ten years, we finally meet again, and I'm so happy that you're visiting my office," Dicky said. He opened his arms wide to hug James.

James smiled and accepted the warm embrace.

"What can I do for you, Young Master?" asked Dicky.

"Within 24 hours, I want Hilton Jewelry Group to go bankrupt!" James said coldly.

    “You are Timothy?” Darus narrowed his eyes, looking at him with disdain. “How dare you go against my daughter. Do you think Jacky can protect you forever?” Darus raised his hand high and shouted, “Guards! Take him away!” The moment he gave the order, the two teams of guards he had brought with him immediately rushed forward. Several men moved quickly toward James, ready to grab him. But Jacky’s voice thundered through the air. “Darus! How dare you try to act here!” The Trandana Hotel was located at the heart of the Hawar District, a territory under Dasqan’s control. If Darus dared to cause trouble here, it meant he was openly challenging Dasqan himself. Darus sneered. “What is it, Jacky? You really want to protect James? Think carefully. Once you offend the Nelton Family, you won’t have a place to stand in the city of Dandelion.” He added coldly, “Don’t think that just because this is the Hawar District I can’t do anything. My men have already surrounded this place!” Jacky’s e

    Mariana scoffed. “Fine, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance, Sheva. If you don’t want your husband’s face to be ruined along with yours, tell him to apologize right now. Once my father arrives, it will be too late for him to kneel.” Sheva stayed silent, her face tense. Mariana smiled coldly and lifted her phone. “Father, I’m at the Trandana Hotel. Jacky from the Hawar District is trying to threaten me. He wants me to make a toast and apologize to someone.” A deep, authoritative voice of a middle-aged man came through the speaker. “Jacky? The one working under Jayden?” “Yes, Father. He’s here with some arrogant man. They said the Nelton Family name means nothing and even told me to leave the hotel. I couldn’t stand it, so I called you,” Mariana said in a pitiful tone. Darus, Mariana’s father, was silent for a moment before his voice turned cold. “Tell Jacky I’ll be there in five minutes. Let him see for himself who should be careful with their words.” Mariana deliberately turn

  • Chapter 287-No Need to Call Anyone...

    In the classmates’ gathering circle, the atmosphere became extremely awkward. Everyone present looked flushed, with beads of sweat forming on their foreheads. It turned out that James had never lied—it was just that their perspectives had always been too shallow. “Mr. Timothy, someone as insignificant as Mariana does not deserve to be treated this way. I believe she may not have fully realized what she was doing. Please, allow me to handle this properly,” said Jacky respectfully. James did not respond. He simply took a slow sip of his tea, his eyes calm but sharp. Hearing Jacky’s words, cold sweat began to form on Mariana’s forehead. If a man as powerful as Jacky from the gray zone really stepped in, her dignity would be completely destroyed. “Mr. Timothy, today you must save my reputation. My father will not stay silent about this!” said Mariana bitterly, trying to rely on her father’s name. “Go ahead, call your father. I doubt he is worthy enough to stand and speak before Mr.

  • Chapter 286-She Feels Ashamed

    Even the Nelton family’s forces, who held power in the Hawar District, probably would not dare to oppose him. Everyone knew that someone like Jacky was not just an ordinary businessman—he was a man respected even by the leaders of other districts. “Ask Mr. Timothy to apologize?” Jacky said in a low, cold voice. “There is no need for him to apologize to me.” He looked sharply at Mariana, then continued firmly, “Mariana, you should apologize to Mr. Timothy.” Mariana stared at him in shock. “What do you mean?” she asked, confused by the direction of the conversation. Jacky turned to James, bowed his head slightly, and spoke with deep respect. “Mr. Timothy, what do you think? What should we do with people like this who do not even know their place?” He paused, waiting for an answer. “Do you want me to order my men to remove them right now?” James lifted his wine glass and took a slow sip. His gaze was calm yet carried authority. “No need,” he said lightly. “For something this smal

  • Chapter 285-Mr. Timothy...

    “Someone like James still thinks he’s great,” a man whispered quietly in the crowd. “But he’s just trash pretending to be important.”A few others laughed softly, trying to win Jacky’s favor by joining in the mockery.“Sheva,” Mariana said coldly. “Tell James to stand up and make a toast right now. Ask him to apologize to Mr. Jacky before he causes real trouble. If Mr. Jacky gets offended, not even I can protect your useless husband.”Her tone was sharp and arrogant. She kept watching Jacky’s expression, which was growing more tense by the second. She was sure Jacky was getting angry, and that would be the perfect punishment for James.Good, Mariana thought bitterly. Let’s see how he ends up after this.But Sheva hesitated. She looked at James nervously, not daring to make a move.James gazed at her calmly, raised an eyebrow, and said quietly, “If I make a toast, would he dare to drink it?”The room instantly fell silent.“What did you just say?” Mariana stared at James in disbelief.

  • Chapter 284-They're think James Will Regret

    "Ah, Miss Mariana. It is rare for you to visit the Trandana Hotel," Jacky said in his deep, calm voice."Mr. Jacky truly knows how to treat his guests with respect," Mariana replied, lifting her wine glass. "Let’s sit and have a drink.""So this is the famous Jacky?" someone among the guests whispered. "The one called the controller of wind and rain in the Ken District?""Not just that," another replied. "Mr. Jacky is not only a business giant. He is also a powerful figure in the gray world."The presence of the bald man with glasses made the entire room fall silent. Jacky’s name was no stranger to anyone. In the land of the Ken District, he was a living legend, a major figure in both property and underground business. He controlled massive industries like Ken Star City, a source of wealth that seemed endless.But more than that, Jacky was known as the Bald Eagle, one of the most feared figures in the underworld.Everyone knew that the underground emperor of Ken District, Jayden, had
