After the dining room was cleaned up, the three of them took their seats. The atmosphere at the dining table was considerably harmonious, but Martin, who was always sophisticated, still felt that something was different. Although Old Mister Yallaton was not in a healthy condition, he still retained his own opinion regarding Yallaton Corporation’s mode of operation, and he always had a different opinion from Wilfred. When the three of them talked, the old man was constantly arrogant, while Wilfred wisely remained silent.He also pretended to respect his father as he responded to him occasionally.When the dinner was coming to the end, Martin stood up and went to the restroom. Before he left, he exchanged a meaningful gaze with the man across from him.At that moment, the caregiver came in with a phone. “Mister Yallaton, someone is calling you.”The moment Wilfred heard this, he frowned. He pushed his chair back and stood up before he took the phone. After that, he raised his han
The first person to realize that Old Mister Yallaton had fallen on the ground was the housekeeper, after he took the coffee from the storeroom. Following that, he anxiously ran downstairs and opened the study room door.Right then, Wilfred was still on a call with the construction staff in Harbour City. He heard a voice shouting in panic from the back. “Mister Yallaton, Old Mister Yallaton just fell down…” About twenty minutes later, Old Mister Yallaton was sent to the hospital’s Emergency Department by an ambulance.Before the doctor entered the operating theater, he appeared worried and sympathetic. “Your father has recovered pretty well this year, but the accident today doesn’t look promising. Please prepare for the worst, Mister Yallaton.”Wilfred looked down and clenched his fists. After the doctor walked far away, he gently hummed and leaned on the wall at the side.At this time, the housekeeper who stood at the side blushed. His body trembled as he complained, “Mister Yall
Wilfred looked down and listened to Martin. He knew that what Martin said was logical.His expression became a little more serious. He raised his head and eyed Martin coldly. Before he spoke, he heard Martin sneer. Martin lowered his head and said the things that Wilfred was wondering if he should say. “Of course you can continue to investigate this matter. I won’t rule out the possibility that you'll be able to get some useful messages. When that time comes, you can sue me. Then, all collaborations between Yallaton Corporation, Peak, and the Stewart family will be canceled…” His eyes suddenly lit up and he added, “The worst scenario will be that I get jailed, and your construction project will not be complete, which will delay the development in Harbour City indefinitely.” He paused for a second before he pretended to sigh regretfully. “Also, based on the information you have now, it’ll be very difficult to jail me.” Wilfred’s gaze was indifferent. He exposed Martin in a mock
Melissa was not able to rush back to South City because she was busy with the acquisition of the trade from Stephenson family.It was only when the progress of acquisition was halfway done that she noticed a lack of funds and the disruption in the chain of interest. If she wanted more contacts, she needed to invest a large amount of money again.The project could make money, but she did not have enough money.She was constantly going between the UK and Harbour City during this period, so she did not have the time to go back to South City.Two months later, she received bad news from South City that her father passed away in the hospital.At that moment, Melissa had just come back to Harbour City from the UK and had an appointment with Edward. When she unexpectedly received the call, she seemed to have lost her mind and directly sat down on the roadside. In a while, Edward also received the news from Emmie. He leaned sideways on the sofa and smiled faintly. “I heard that she co
Emmie was very mean in the way she phrased her sentence. She actually did it on purpose to trigger Melissa.As expected, a few words could easily achieve her purpose. Melissa continued to scream angrily and push away the crowd that watched the show.Wilfred was cold and ordered the housekeeper to get some people to bring Melissa back. At this time, the crowd broke into a ruckus. Some people could not help but discuss what they saw in a low voice. Emmie listened to their discussion and could not help but smile faintly. After a scene like that, Old Mister Yallaton’s funeral nearly became a farce.Before Emmie left, Wilfred even purposely came over to apologize. “My sister is not in a good mental condition recently. Did she scare you just now?”Emmie placed a fresh flower on the tombstone. When she heard his words, she indifferently shook her head. “I’m okay. She could not scare me.” After saying that, she stood up straight and walked to the side. When she turned back, she gen
Before Zephaniah could answer, Jade suddenly frowned. Then, she grabbed his arm and yelled, “Dear, he’s coming out.” “Oh, come…” Zephaniah rarely felt flustered like this. Blue veins instantly popped out on his forehead. “Don’t panic now. Calm your breathing. I’ll call the doctor.” Perhaps the baby had heard that his father wanted to do a C-section, so it started feeling anxious.When Emmie rushed into the hospital, she saw a mobile bed being pushed into the delivery room.Jade’s yelling resounded through the long corridor, and Zephaniah was running beside her. In the end, Jade shouted at him to stop. “Don’t come in. Don’t!”Jade knew how scary a woman looked when she delivered a baby, so she did not want Zephaniah to witness it. In a while, Zephaniah’s mother and Jade’s mother also hurriedly rushed over. Outside the delivery room, the always calm Zephaniah looked anxious. His suit was wrinkled and his collar was opened casually. His dark, profound eyes stared at the door of
Jade and Zephaniah’s third kid was named William Zephaniah.Zephaniah was not happy that he came out so late and Jade was tortured for two extra days.On the day of William’s full moon, Owens family held a big full moon party.The attendance of Emmie and Edward surprised Jade. But it was nothing when compared to the shock she received when the usually depressed Mister Greyson brought back the arrogant Miss Strickland.Breann acted as usual. She looked so happy that she walked everywhere with pride.When she was playing with the baby in the baby room, Jade could not help but laugh at her. “Didn’t you say you’re not coming back?”Breann played with William with an exaggerated expression, which made him giggle. Meanwhile, she casually replied, “I came back to see you. Are you not happy?” Jade could tell that she did not want to talk about it, so she thought for a while and did not continue the topic. “You think about it yourself. I really hope you will stay here.” “That’s not ok
