Edward was very annoyed at the pair of dogs, and immediately took out his cell phone and called Dexter.As soon as Dexter found out that Edward had called him, he immediately said excitedly. “Edward, how are you? Why did you think to call me?”Edward said lightly. "I called you just to say hello. What are you doing right now?"Dexter replied, “I'm helping out in the kitchen located at the back of the restaurant. It's not too late in the day, and I don't have any reports to check in my room, so I thought I'd help out in the kitchen, as Viviane requested. Viviane said that a good boss would always help out in the kitchen."“Is that so?”“Yes, it is,” Dexter replied.Edward asked, “Are you busy at the restaurant every day?”Dexter replied, “Yes, the restaurant has just opened, and there's a lot going on. Also, more than half of the money in this restaurant comes from Viviane's father. If I didn't work harder, they would look down on me."Edward asked again: “How much money did you invest
Edward nodded slowly. “All right, Grandpa. I will support your decision.”Edward was actually hesitant to accept his grandpa's decision. But he did not want to disappoint the old man. For Salvour Marcos, his decision was the right one. He felt that he had deprived Jillian of her right to give up her status as the youngest child of the Marcos family in order to be with her boyfriend who was a bodyguard.Jillian lived in poverty and never saw a penny of the Marcos family's money and treasure until she died, while her three older siblings, Alexander, Isabelle and Benjamin, lived a life of pleasure and wealth, without a care in the world for their little sister.It was only fitting that Salvour Marcos now made Edward the main heir to the Marcos family fortune that would last forty generations.Salvour Marcos smiled and took Edward's hand. “Thank you, Edward. I knew I could count on you.”Edward felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, but he knew this was a responsibility he had to face. He
Javier doesn't have the ability to make a lot of money, but he has many dreams of becoming rich. He likes to shop in the Whispering Pines Avenue area when he has nothing to do. He wanted to get a peek into his dreams, but in recent years, he had experienced scams from bad guys claiming to be antique collectors.That activity had stopped for a while before, but he did not expect that it would not only not completely stop, as it turned out that his desire to hunt antiques was rekindled.Seeing that Edward even dared to point at him, Javier coldly snorted and said, “Don't talk so much nonsense! Now just take me to the Whispering Pines Avenue area."Edward had no choice but to comply with his father-in-law's wishes. So he had to drive Javier to the Whispering Pines Avenue area."Okay, Dad. I'll comply if that's what you want. The important thing is that I warned you,” Edward said.He couldn't waste any time because tonight there would be a dinner where all the Marcos family members would
Maria's heart skipped a beat. The tension peaked when Maria decided to come out of her hiding place.After making sure her ears no longer heard the sound of the door being knocked on, Maria decided to come out of her hiding place.The laundry room in the Marcos mansion was a sizable room filled with piles of fabric, detergent, and a large washing machine. Maria hid behind a tall pile of towels, covering herself so tightly that even Alexander's two bodyguards who entered couldn't find her.Maria opened the laundry room door and saw that the corridor was deserted. "Looks like things are pretty safe. I need to get to the second floor and tell grandpa what I heard," Maria muttered.She exited slowly and walked slowly to the elevator. The Marcos mansion was a large, palace-like mansion that was luxurious and grand. The mansion consisted of three floors with luxuriously shaped staircases and an elegant elevator. Somehow, Maria twisted her leg and fell. She squealed, and it was heard by A
Natalia snorted coldly, and said angrily: "I'm afraid, if I don't come, maybe you will ruin all the ancient things in this shop!"Bradley Kensington smiled wryly and quickly replied: "I'm sorry, Miss. It wasn't me.""Then who?" asked Natalia."A customer accidentally broke the urn while looking at it. His son-in-law tried to fix it with egg whites. "Bradley seemed to glance at Edward. "I was just about to say that such repairs are pointless, and I would like to talk to them about paying money damages."Natalia stared at the ancient urn that now stood on the table after being repaired by Edward. She watched for a moment, her expression suddenly changing!Then, she immediately turned around and scolded Bradley Kensington and said, "Quickly show me who the person was who had repaired the ancient urn with the egg white method earlier."Bradley Kensington was immediately stunned: "Miss, who are you referring to?"Natalia said angrily. "The person who repaired this ancient urn. This urn is

Edward was in the car speeding towards the Marcos mansion while thinking about some of the contents of The Arcane Codex of the Seven Heavens.Profound Heavenly Secrets.At that moment, he suddenly received a call from Dexter. Edward didn't want to answer his call because he was still upset after his last conversation with his friend.Edward was upset that Dexter didn't believe his words. "Dexter is a good but stupid friend. He's a friendly guy, but right now he's turning his face away from me out of anger because I told him the ugliness of his fiancée when it was real," muttered Edward.He ignored Dexter's phone call and continued driving towards the Marcos mansion.His cell phone rang again. It was still Dexter who called him. However, back in college, Dexter and Vincent were friends who were kind to Edward. He couldn't bear to keep ignoring his friend's calls.Edward pulled the car over to the side of the road to take Dexter's phone call."Hello, Ed," Dexter greeted in a shaky voi
Viviane and Edgar turned to each other with contemptuous looks as they stifled their laughter.Viviane then sneered. "It's good that you know. I'm sure, it's not just me who sees you as a clown, but other people too, even everyone!"Dexter could only close his eyes at the insult from the woman who had been with him for some time.After speaking, she did not forget to spit on the ground, then said, "I'm here to ask for that painting! Where did you hide it, damn it? Give it to me right now!"Dexter said angrily. "Viviane, my friend gave me the painting. Why are you asking me for it? Have you gone completely shameless?""You-" Viviane's index finger pointed in the air with her face darkened like a storm. "Have you forgotten that Edward gave that painting to me, not you! It was a gift for the opening of the restaurant! Whose restaurant is it? It's my dad's restaurant!"Dexter did not expect Viviane to be so shameless, by being arrogant in front of him. With his angry voice trembling, he s
