"You have your own life, and I have mine. So from now on, please don't come to me again. Take care—""Talia!" Howard interrupted her. "I know you still hate me, but even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Riley."Soon, she'll go to primary school and make friends there. Won't you be upset if the children there make fun of her because she doesn't have a dad? And if someone bullies her at school, or something like this happens next time, what can you do?"Based on your current situation, can you guarantee to give her a safe and healthy growing environment?""Enough..." Talia sobbed."Talia, trust me. We'll live happily ever after!"Howard turned around and grabbed Talia's arms."It's okay that you can't accept me for the time being, and I won't force you to marry me now. Time will bring our hearts together."But for now, can we at least pretend to be a married couple in front of outsiders and Riley? And when the time comes, I promise we'll have a spectacula
"Tell your parents to pack their stuff. We'll move to Mendorra after two days and start over there," said Howard."You're too idealistic!" Talia took a deep breath. "You don't know how bad our situation is!""There is no place for our family in Mendorra at all!""That was the past!" Howard solemnly refuted, "From now on, everything will be in the past. Believe me. I will definitely be able to do it!""Oh! Why can't you understand!" Talia despairingly sighed. "Forget it. You just didn't believe it no matter how I told you. You'll understand one day!"Then, she looked at Howard and hesitantly asked, "I… can you do me one last favor?""Of course!" Howard nodded vigorously. "What's it?""Three days later is my grandpa's birthday. Our family will go to Mendorra to celebrate with him. Can you go to the Jenkins Mansion with us if you're free tomorrow?""They always mock that Riley is a wild child without a father whenever we meet.""Riley was traumatized by that. Now she doesn't dare
"Marshal, I've already checked it out!" Yoel responded after getting the car's engine started."According to the characteristics of a killer you provided at the time, I asked the judge to track it down for half a year, and he finally found him in a neighboring country. The killer already spit everything out. The mastermind behind the murder of your adoptive father's family was the Austin family, the wealthiest family in Mendorra today, together with the Francis and Blake families.""So I was right all this while!" said Howard. Yoel could sense a firm intention of killing from Howard's expression.Five years ago, Howard's adoptive father's family, the Ziegler family, was the first of the top-four most influential families in Mendorra. The remaining three families were the Austin, Francis, and Blake families. Among the four families, the status of the Ziegler family was far higher than the rest. Howard's adoptive father was a man of high integrity and resolution. He despised the manne
After an hour, the Range Raver stopped in front of a skyscraper in downtown Mendorra that had not been operating officially.“This is Mendorra Tower?” The two got out of the car and walked to the square. Howard looked up with a complicated expression.This was the biggest wish of his adoptive father during his lifetime. He wanted to build the tallest building in Mendorra and make it a landmark of Mendorra. People will be reminded of Mendorra Tower at the mention of Mendorra herself!According to the plan, after the building was completed, it would integrate high-end shopping facilities, hobby centers, entertainment amenities, hotels and offices all in one.However, before the completion, his adoptive father was involved in an accident!“Yeah!” Yoel responded. “Your adoptive father had an accident, and the project was stopped immediately. The relevant departments of Mendorra planned to find someone to take over. But on one hand, the investment on this project was too enormous, and
Then, Kenny turned to Yoel. “Hey, it’s been a while. I miss you!”“Darn it. I don’t have a preference like yours!” Yoel glared at him.“Uh…Yoel, you can’t ruin my reputation!” The corner of his mouth twitched, and he looked at Howard.“Young Master Howard, it’s not officially open yet, do you want to go in and have a seat?”“Let’s go and sit in the car!” Howard looked up at the building again, turned around and got into the car.“Young Master Howard, haven’t you been in the Western Region all this while? Why did you suddenly come to Mendorra?” After the three got into the car, Kenny looked at Howard and asked.“You’re something, huh. I haven’t seen you for two years, and you’ve shed a few pounds!” Howard did not answer his words.“Hey, since you asked for it!” Kenny grinned.“I have been exercising a lot in the past two years, and I have completed the slimming goal you set for me!”“Yeah, it’s not bad! You have some perseverance in you!” Howard smiled lightly.“Thank you for
“What?!” Hearing Kenny’s words, the old man felt a chill down his spine, and utter shock was the only thing that could be read on his face. He finally understood why the eldest young master was so respectful of him. Alone, this man had the power as strong as a country. He made the surrounding bandits shivered by just the mention of his name. With his Blood Shadow Saber, corpses would scatter all over the field and blood would taint the rivers with just a moment of thought. In the face of such a character, perhaps only a few people dared not bow to him!“I, Kenny Carter’s life, was also saved by Young Master Howard. Without him, I would have been a sloping loess!” Kenny continued to say. “And it’s all thanks to him as well, that I have my achievements and wealth today! It can be said that Young Master Howard’s kindness to me is more important than that of my parents!”As he spoke, his eyes flashed with deep gratitude and awe.“Understood!” The old man’s pupils also flashed with awe.
The group of people including Sean was so frightened that they fell to the ground. They were horrified and cold sweat broke out. They were so close to becoming dead bodies under the wheels of the Hummel!Immediately afterwards, two men stepped down from the Hummel. They were dressed in brocade uniform and wore sabers on their waists. They had serious expressions and emitted intimidating aura.“Damn it, who the hell are you guys? Don’t you know what this place is? You want to die?”Sean took a deep breath and stabilized his emotions. He was furious and roared angrily. How dare these people busted into Haffen Villa and make a commotion? They should have known better!“Are you Sean Austin?” A man said coldly after looking at the photo on his phone.“Who the hell are you?” Sean snapped. At this time, a group of men in black quickly rushed towards them and each with a stun gun, looking overbearing.“Master Sean, what happened?” the leader asked loudly.“Stop the nonsense. Get these t
A young man with twinkling eyes was sitting in the center of the garden—it was none other than Howard. Yoel and the Judge stood on either side of him. After a simple disguise, Howard looked entirely different. He had no intention of letting Mendorra's people know he was back, deciding to settle things after ensuring Talia and Riley's safety.Apart from the three, ten well-dressed men with stern expressions guarded the garden from all directions.Sean, visibly nervous, finally mustered the courage, saying, "W-Who are you? I'm from the Austin family in Mendorra. Touch me, and the Austin family will make sure you regret it!"Howard ignored Sean's outburst and casually swirled the wine in his glass before taking a sip. "Gentlemen, do you recall that night five years ago?"Confused, Sean and the others frowned, attempting to recall the past."W-What do you mean?" Sean asked while the others began to recall."Don't remember?" Howard said, "It's understandable. With all the despicable a
