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.

    Viviane's face immediately darkened like the fury of a storm at sea. "How arrogant of you. Well, since you seek your own death, then wait!"Edward asked Dexter at this time, "Does Viviane's father, Viktor McCartney, know about you being beaten up?""He knows." Dexter visibly nodded his head, then he said again, "I already contacted him and told him about his daughter's misbehavior and instead had his affair lover order his men to beat me up."Edward nodded and asked, "Then what did he say?"Dexter looked angry and said, "He said that it was a young man's business, and he wouldn't interfere. That means he doesn't care what his daughter does to me."Edward asked again. "In that case, the 100 thousand dollars you invested in the restaurant, did you ask for it?""Yes!" Dexter's expression became even more annoyed and gritted his teeth. "But he said that the 100,000 dollars was mine, not invested in the restaurant and he apparently never considered me as a potential son-in-law. He thought

She was confused and didn't know what to do.The kick caused her a lot of pain, and she knelt on the ground with her face very pale from the pain.Ivanov looked at her and said coldly, "You dare to provoke Mr. Edward, have you had enough of life?"Edgar Sterling's body trembled at the threat of the notorious underground emperor.After finishing speaking, Ivanov immediately said to Edward, with a face of fear and reluctance.

    Victor McCartney was shocked to hear Edward's order. His chest shook violently, fear seized him, choking his breath. His eyes widened as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard. Her frail body continued to break out in a cold sweat, as if her consciousness wanted to escape the horrible reality that was to come. Her breathing became labored, her heart beating wildly.

Moreover, Edward's sharp gaze could not be separated from Viviane's trembling figure, looking forward to what kind of punishment she would suffer.At this moment, she was even close to madness. She knelt down and crawled to the hospital bed, grabbing the hand of Dexter, her fiancé whom she had betrayed and humiliated even to the point of hospitalization. She cried and said, "Dexter, my lover. I'm sorry, darling. I shouldn't have betrayed you. I honestly love you very much, but I was under threat from Edgar. He took a picture of me naked. I have no choice but to follow all his wishes including sleeping."Edgar, who was still tormented by the pain in his legs, hands and groin, did not accept Viviane's words."Lies! This woman has lied!

    Arriving at the Marcos mansion, Edward got out of his car with a confident gesture. His well-built body emphasized every step he took, as if he was striding towards a future that had long been outlined for him. His feet touched the neat and orderly paving block floor, giving the impression that each step not only brought him closer to the mansion, but also closer to the destiny that awaited him inside the luxurious building."Edward, you can do it," Edward murmured encouragingly to himself.The majestic building before him stood proudly, bearing the classic architecture that was a silent witness to the long and twisted story of the Marcos family. The tall pillars that supported the building seemed to speak, telling a story of history and glory that had been passed down from generation to generation. And now, that legacy rests on Edward's shoulders. A great responsibility that he could no longer avoid.Upon entering the foyer of the mansion, Edward saw Maria, his younger sister, who

I have my own judgment, Alex.""I don't accept your decision, Dad! Is it because I'm just an adopted son and you treat me like this, huh?" asked Alex with a darkened face.Salvour Marcos turned to Robert. "I'm done with dinner. I'm going to rest." He felt no need to answer Alex's question."Yes, Grandmaster," Robert said and helped Salvour up and into the wheelchair and pushed him.Alexander was furious. His wife's cold hands in his, felt like chains holding him back from a bigger explosion. Salvour, who had moved away from the dining table, could only let out a long sigh.

While walking in the corridor while playing with her cell phone, she accidentally collided with a maid until the maid fell down.“Oh, sorry,” she squealed. But suddenly she was surprised because the maid was crying. “What's wrong with you? Did something happen?”The maid just shook her head while occasionally looking at Maria. But soon she fainted.“Oh my God! Why did you faint?” squealed Maria. As her hand pulled off the mask covering the maid's face, she was instantly startled. “Roselyn?”She immediately called for a bodyguard to take Roselyn to the guest room on the first floor.

His voice was firm and full of conviction, every word he spoke containing a power that could not be ignored.“Today, I, whom you know as Mr. Steel, stand here not only as the principal heir to the Marcos family, but as a leader determined to maintain the honor of the family and this company.

    The next morning, a slow drizzle of rain fell, soaking the ground that had been prepared for Salvour Marcos' final resting place. The overcast sky seemed to mourn him, adding to the somber atmosphere that surrounded the morning. A deep sense of loss emanated from every drop of rain, as if nature also felt the departure of such a precious figure. In the midst of this sorrowful atmosphere, Salvour Marcos' body would soon be buried, leaving unforgettable memories for those left behind.Edward was still standing on the balcony of his room when Maria entered. Maria took her brother's hand and rested her head on Edward's shoulder.“Grandpa doesn't need your regrets,” Maria said, trying to revive her brother. “He needs you to stand up and show your strength. The company is in crisis and needs you to take action, Ed. And one more thing, don't keep blaming yourself.”“I know.”Robert entered after he knocked on the door first. Everyone was dressed in black this time.“We leave now for the cem

    A black sedan darted quickly through the deserted streets of the Town of Riverside. The rain was falling gently, like a whisper of sorrow that enveloped the night. The drops that fell from the sky brought a sense of sadness, as if nature was mourning the passing of Salvour Marcos, the revered patriarch of the Marcos family. Every drizzle that touched the ground was as if it were the sky's tears crying for the departed figure, making the dark night even more somber and silent.Inside the car, there were three women lost in their own thoughts. Lily, who was behind the wheel, tried to remain calm, even though her heart was raging. All she had in mind was a way to reconcile Roselyn and Edward. They must not get divorced.In the slow-moving car, Roselyn sat silently with a blank look, occasionally wiping her face with a tissue, wiping away the tears that continued to flow despite her best efforts to hold them back. Her face looked pale, and inside her, there was an inner battle that nev

    Edward looked in the direction of the voice. It was Maria.“I called you many times, but the operator always answered,” Maria squealed. “I remembered that you were going to see your wife, so I followed you here.”“But she didn't believe me, Maria.” Edward looked still depressed. “I had to go after her.”“No, Ed! Listen to me!”“No! I must go after Roselyn. She must see this evidence.” Edward's face was red with the pressure-filled frustration of his problems with Roselyn going crazy.“Stop dwelling on your personal problems, Ed!” Maria yelled at the top of her lungs and began to get carried away. “Snap out of it! Don't keep drowning in your own personal problems and ignore what's far more important.”Edward was in a daze. But my wife-”Soon a loud slapping sound was heard, followed by Edward's body being slammed to the floor with a bang as well.So annoyed with her brother's sudden stupid and annoying behavior, Maria slapped him hard.Edward was silent for a moment.

    “Turn around! Get to Marcosta's company right now!” Robert ordered the driver sternly.“What's wrong, Robert?” asked a surprised Maria.Robert told her the news he had received from Emily Algren's men. The woman had even been admitted to the ICU of Elite Serenity Hospital, which was located not far from Marcosta's company building.By now, the car Robert and Maria were traveling in had arrived at Marcosta's company.“What happened? Why isn't there an escort for Miss Algren?” Robert asked in a high tone of voice due to emotion.All the security team as well as Miss Algren's bodyguards could only look down because they felt they had failed. Only one of them dared to speak because he was the one who found her lying on the floor of his office covered in blood.“So Alexander did it?” asked Robert.“Yes, sir.” The bodyguard nodded with certainty. “He was seen walking fast and did come out of the emergency exit. He said he was in a hurry and we believed him. We thought there was an intruder.
