The next day, at the Zea family mansion. The whole of the Zea family had been preparing for a grand feast since early morning. “Hurry up, can’t you move faster? Put out all the decorations properly. And hurry up with the dishes and wine.” The whole mansion was busy as Jorge kept urging them. For this family feast, Jorge had personally orchestrated it with great care. Just then, his youngest daughter, Lilian, rushed in from outside. “Father, quick, Tyr and Winifred are here, let’s hurry outside and welcome them.” “Sure… Sure…” Jorge nodded continuously. With the Zea family elders in tow, they hurried outside the mansion. Outside, Tyr’s family of three were walking over. “Tyr, Winifred, you’re here! Quick, come in and have a seat. We’ve prepared everything, and we were just waiting for you guys.” Jorge ardently received them with a bright smile on his face. Blair was watching fearfully at her elders, who were all smiles. They gave her a feeling of big bad wolves. It was r
Iris’ pupils contracted out of reflex. Beside her, a trace of fear appeared on Travis’s expression. However, the two quickly regained their senses. Tyr Summers was not some tycoon, and Drake Tucker had already returned his favor, so now the man no longer had any connections with Drake. Why do they still have to fear him now? “You’re just a beggar but you dared to impersonate the tycoon. I say, Tyr, how shameless can you be? And Winifred, are you disappointed now? You thought you'd married a rich man, but you still ended up marrying a beggar, hahaha! This is just too hilarious! Little b*tch, daughters of beggars don’t deserve to eat drumsticks. They can only eat bread from food waste bins!” Slap! Tyr gave Iris a tight slap. “Although I’m not a tycoon, I seem to have told you two not to agitate me.” Iris and Travis were startled. Both of them finally recalled that Tyr was mentally ill. They subconsciously backed away and stopped trying to provoke Tyr and his family. After they le
There were many skilled men in the Summers family. Arthur, too, had many strong men under his leadership, but he had been too careless this time. Tyr would not be so lucky again in the future. The first heir of the Summers family, Kirin Summers, was the old master’s favorite. Now that the boy was ill and only Tyr’s bone marrow could save him, the Summers family would not let Tyr off so easily. However, Arthur had no idea just how terrifying Tyr’s power and background had grown. Compared to the overseas organization, The Regal Palace, the Summers family were not worth mentioning. After that incident, the Summers family never came back to disturb Tyr for quite some time. Tyr continued sending Blair to and back from school and stayed home to do housework. Winifred had been extremely busy at her new managerial post in the Zea Group’s design department. Just like that, half a month passed. Today, an urgent meeting was called at the Zea Group’s conference room. Jorge was sitting at t
Due to that incident six years ago, Winifred had become a frequent target for scorn. It was an inevitable truth that Winifred now no longer had any status within the Zea family. Even an indirect family member could ridicule her. Now that Iris had nabbed a successful man like Travis, she had become the most valuable person in the Zea family. Winifred could never win against her. And so, this matter was settled just like that. Winifred ended up being given the impossible task of negotiating this project with the Smith Group. Iris had even forced Winifred to pledge that if the deal were not successful, Winifred would be chased out of the Zea Group. The next day, inside the private room of a classy restaurant, Liam Smith swirled the red wine glass in his hand. He had already been waiting for quite some time. Although he was dressed in branded clothes, none of it could conceal his hideous appearance. The man had the face of a rat. When Liam was young, he had contracted chickenpox, s
Every word from Iris had no doubt caused Winifred great humiliation. However, she was truly at fault this time, so she could not retort. She did not want this to happen either, but she had no choice! “The Smith Group is the main business partner of our Zea Group. Now that they’ve ended our collaboration, do you know how much losses our Zea family has suffered?” Iris was pointing at Winifred’s nose as she scolded. “Winifred, if you still have any sense in you, go and apologize to Young Master Smith. He only wants you to sleep with him for one night. It’s not like you’ve never done something like that.” “Iris Zea, what nonsense are you spouting? True blue will never stain. I’m not that kind of person.” Iris snorted. “Whether or not you’re that kind of person, everyone here knows. But it’s okay if you refuse to. Just get out of the Zea family now!” Chasing Winifred out of the Zea family had always been Iris’s biggest wish. Now that she had this chance, she definitely would not let
Travis was thinking, Right your ass! You dumb woman. Do you really think our Century Herb Pharmaceutical is invincible? If it weren’t for the Zea family’s land in the South Hill Plains, I really want to kick this foolish woman hard! “Yeah, my dad has already agreed to it. He says he has a good relationship with Zachery Smith, so he’ll talk to him.” The Zea family members immediately broke into smiles. Jorge, too, let out a sigh of relief. “Travis, sorry for troubling your family with this. When your dad has time, let’s meet up. I want to thank him personally.” Travis nodded, feeling a little guilty. “Alright, Grandpa.” Just then, outside of the Zea Group building, thunder was rumbling through the skies, and soon, heavy rain fell. The rainwater drenched Winifred’s body as she walked alone in the heavy rain, feeling lonely, aggrieved, and helpless. Even her tears disappointed her as they fell from her eyes and was swallowed by the rain immediately after. With a slip of her foot,
Zachery was dumbstruck. The alcohol intoxication was gone in an instant, and he was staring blankly at Drake. He dared not ask another question but poured himself another glass and downed it. Drake patted him heavily on his shoulder. “Some opportunities only come once in a lifetime. Whether or not you can grasp is up to you.” “I’ll grasp it. I’ll definitely grasp it,” Zachery kept motivating himself. Just then, his phone rang. “Dad, come home quick. Bring a lot of men back. There’s a naive b*stard causing trouble at our home!” Zachery frowned. “Who dares to cause trouble at the Smith house?!” “It’s that Tyr Summers, the Zea family’s son-in-law who married into their family. Dad, the Zea family’s Winifred came to negotiate business with me today, and I teased her a little bit, but now this b*stard came looking for a fight.” Buzz… A loud buzzing noise exploded in Zachery’s mind, followed by a blank emptiness. For a few moments, he could not regain his senses. On the other e
Zachery stood up. The trace of grief disappeared from his face in an instant, and his expression fell dark. “This swine almost destroyed the Smith family. He can stay in bed for the rest of his life and stop causing me trouble.” Breaking his son’s limbs with his own hands definitely made Zachery’s heart ache. However, his fear of the consequences was stronger. Drake Tucker was nothing but a fart in Tyr’s eyes, and his son had dared to touch this man’s wife. If he had hesitated even for a moment just now, the entire Smith family might have been ruined. A man like him had four sons, two daughters, and countless illegitimate children outside his home. So, even if Liam was disabled, it would not be a big deal to him. “Brother Tucker, is there still a way to turn this around?” Drake lit a cigar and took a long draw. “That would depend on how you take care of things.” At that moment, the people at the Zea family mansion had sat, waiting, for half a day, but there was still no word fr
