"You know who I am?" Gerald asked with a slight frown. It was clear that he didn't know Benedict. Benedict hurriedly walked over and politely asked, "Mr. Whitlock, don't you remember me? Half a year ago, my dad, Darius Fowler, had a banquet here and hosted some guests. We were lucky enough to meet you there. I even toasted to you!" But Gerald couldn't remember who Benedict was at all. After all, it would be strange if Gerald could remember something that had happened half a year ago. Not to mention, they had only met each other once. Nevertheless, Gerald was experienced enough to know not to embarrass another person. So, he smiled and said, "You're Mr. Fowler, aren't you? I remember that your first name is…" "Benedict!" Benedict quickly told him. Gerald nodded with a grin. "Right, you're Darius' son, Benedict! Why? Are you here for a meal as well?" "I'm just meeting a few schoolmates of mine here," Benedict replied. Upon hearing this, Gerald instantly became more attent
"You promised to give that to me! How could you go back on your words?" Xena glared at Benedict. Benedict let out a snort and said, "You actually had the nerve to bring this up! You ruined our plan! How dare you even ask me for anything?" "Benedict Fowler, ask yourself this—who was the one who slipped up first? It was clearly your fault, yet you're blaming it on me. Do you have any shame at all?" "I said I'd give it to you after the plan succeeds. But it failed!" "I don't care! If you don't give it to me, I'll tell everyone about all of your dirty deeds!" "I'm not afraid at all! Do you think you did nothing dirty either? Come on, let's expose each other then!" The two started to fight. …Meanwhile, Woody was upstairs in the Imperial room. "Mr. Henderson, allow me to toast to you. "Thank you for saving Ginger's life. You're the savior of our family," Gerald raised his glass with both hands and earnestly said. He then added, "Ginger, you should toast Mr. Henderson too
"Why are you asking me this?" On the other end of the line, Jeremiah instantly furrowed his brows, and a hint of displeasure appeared on his face. At that moment, a blonde beauty was sitting beside him and pouting her lips, trying to get him to kiss her. But Jeremiah roughly pushed her away. The blonde girl put on a resentful look, but she was tactful enough to leave. Jeremiah had always been a sensitive man. Early on, he had already sensed that Pamela still had feelings for Woody. If Pamela was calling now to plead with him, asking him to ease the tension and animosity between the Goldburn family and Woody, he would certainly get angry right here and now. He would never make peace with any of his enemies! After all, Woody had ruined the Goldburn family's years of painstaking effort in Tiusto City!His family had invested immense manpower and money to prop Tanner up, but it was only for them to get defeated by Woody in an instant. Even Julian was so badly beaten up by Wo
Gerald nodded profusely. "That must be it! I acquired the crystal lotus by accident back then. That was probably when I heard of Obsidian Flame Grass and True Essence of Heavenly Crystals. "But that was a long time ago. I can't be sure of what exactly happened at that time." The Seven Luminescent Ice Lotus was something that he'd casually bought 30 years ago, and compared to the priceless treasures in the Whitlock family's vault, the crystal lotus was practically nothing If it hadn't been for Ginger's illness, Gerald wouldn't have even remembered that he possessed such a thing. He only revealed this to the public so that he could attract the attention of all the famous doctors in the world. "In that case, give me some time. I'll use my connections to look for them," Gerald said. Smiling, Woody said, "Alright then. Thank you, Mr. Whitlock." "Don't thank me. We're not even sure if we can find them yet," Gerald hurriedly said. But even if Gerald couldn't find them, Woody w
Ginger's approach took Gerald by surprise. Clearly, she had thought too highly of herself. She thought that she would be able to face the situation naturally when the marriage proposal was done in person. But when Gerald brought it up, her heart skipped a beat. It was simply too nerve-wracking! But more importantly, she was too embarrassed! But right then, it just so happened that Woody thought that Ginger wanted to be his apprentice. So, Ginger quickly agreed to it so that the situation wouldn't be too awkward. But when Gerald realized what was going on, it was already too late! However, for Helen, the crisis was still there! She had never thought that a young girl like Ginger would be a powerful rival of hers one day. She nearly let the father-daughter pair's plan succeed! Helen was smart enough to be able to tell what their "master plan" was—they wanted to do a marriage proposal. Helen couldn't believe that they'd actually thought about it and had tried to do
Woody himself was not sure when he would be able to solve the mystery behind the ring. But one thing he could be sure of was that since a useless trash like Alfie was able to control the ring, then surely he'd naturally get an answer sooner or later. Hence, Woody wasn't in a hurry. Right then, he heard car noises from downstairs. From the window, Woody saw two expensive cars parked at the door. Judging from the car plate, the Bentley had to be Tyga's car and the Rolls-Royce Cullinan was Mason's. As expected, the two of them exited their cars and entered the residence. Why were they here at such a late hour? Just as Mason was about to press the doorbell, the door was opened for them, and standing behind it was none other than Woody. "Mr. Henderson, we're sorry for dropping by this late," Mason quickly said. Woody replied, "Come in and have a chat." As they sat in the living room, Sasha served them tea. She was dressed in her loungewear, and her tall and curvy figur
"You don't have to see us off, Mr. Henderson. We'll be leaving now!" Tyga and Mason thanked Woody repeatedly before leaving Villa No. 1 in delight. With Woody taking action, nobody would be able to step into Tiusto City. Those guys who were dreaming about dividing up the territories in Tiusto City should give up while they still could! After Mason and Tyga left, Woody headed back to the living room.Just as he was about to go upstairs, his phone rang. It was a call from Gerald. "Mr. Henderson, I just found out that someone named Theo George may have the Obsidian Flame Grass. Just like me, this man loves collecting things too. We've seen each other a few times." Woody frowned a little. "How likely would he have it?" "It's hard to say." Gerald said, "People like us mostly keep a low profile. After all, we have too many treasures. We can't afford to let our wealth be known, or we might attract trouble. "Someone has seen Theo buying a huge batch of antiques from a declining
Oh, what was it if not a father's love for his daughter!No one said that an apprentice couldn't be together with their mentor. After all, they lived in modern times.So, Gerald did what he could to create an opportunity for his daughter and fulfill his fantasy of becoming a father-in-law.After that, the three of them got into the car. Then, it was a three-hour ride to the harbor.Professional as ever, the driver expressionlessly focused on driving. But in reality, he was masking the shock in his heart at Gerald sitting in the passenger seat.Usually, he would sit at the back.The car interior was modified and had an executive chair at the back with the latest technological functions.But now, Ginger was sitting in the back with an ordinary-looking young man.It was understandable that Ginger would sit in the back seat. After all, she was the apple of Gerald's eye.However, Gerald had voluntarily given his seat to the young man!Plus, this wasn't the most shocking thing.Ev
