Suddenly, it all made sense. No wonder Owen was so audacious, daring to stride onto the Bancroft family's turf and boss everyone around—he was connected to the Fitzgerald Group.'It appears that Melanie, that spiteful girl, has some real skill. She has managed to latch onto such a prestigious family. That means she is on the fast track to fortune and fame. Just a mere request from her, and even the smallest favor from the Fitzgeralds will sustain us for a lifetime!'"Melanie, Melanie." Rebecca beckoned from behind a pillar, completely forgetting her earlier intent to harm Melanie.Melanie turned a cold gaze toward her, showing no sign of compliance. "Why are you still here?""How can you talk to me like that? I'm your father’s wife. Where else should I be?" Rebecca replied with a sycophantic grin, her demeanor fawning and ingratiating.Melanie looked away in disgust, unwilling to engage further. "I can handle everything regarding my father. You can leave now."She wanted Rebecca

Faced with no alternative, Theodore had no choice but to comply, feeling as if he were being pushed into a corner."What’s the matter, Mr. Bancroft?" Owen asked politely. "If it’s a financial issue, please don’t hesitate to speak up. The Fitzgerald Group won’t stand by and do nothing. Before I came, Miss Severin and Mr. Fitzgerald explicitly told me that if the Bancroft family needs help, the Fitzgerald Group will be there without question."Owen's grand declaration made it seem like the Bancroft family was on the brink of bankruptcy and seeking assistance from the Fitzgerald Group.Theodore’s face darkened, his throat constricting with emotion, yet he couldn't utter a single word. Although the Bancrofts weren't as powerful as the Fitzgeralds, they had been established in Centus for a long time and had considerable financial strength. To imply that the Bancrofts were facing financial difficulties was a stain on his reputation.Melanie stared at Owen in astonishment. Normally reserv

Jade's meaning was crystal clear: if Shane bullied Melanie again, she would make him pay.This time, targeting the Bancroft family was precisely because of this.Jade's gaze was icy, sharp as a blade, sending chills down his spine."I didn't bully her! On the contrary, she bullied me! Look at these injuries!" Shane revealed the wounds on his body to Jade, trying to prove he wasn’t lying.Theodore's face turned livid with anger, cursing himself inwardly for raising such a useless son.Melanie scoffed, retorting, "I don't provoke unless provoked. Shane, if you hadn't messed with me, would I have hit you?"Jade pulled Melanie back. "Now's not the time for this. The most important thing is to save lives."Melanie nodded, positioning herself behind Jade.Jade turned to Theodore and asked, "Mr. Bancroft, can we proceed with the rescue now?"Theodore’s expression was stony, his teeth gritting. "The Bancroft family never said we wouldn't rescue anyone. It's just that the underground s

The overwhelming emotions suffocating Shane left him gasping for air. He picked up a cigarette, lit it, and took a slow drag.Theodore watched him, eyes wide with surprise. Shane rarely smoked, and only when something deeply troubled him did he take a puff.'What is bothering him today? Is it the bet I have with Jade?' But Theodore dismissed this thought quickly. 'Shane is usually carefree and won’t dwell on such things.'If it isn’t about the company, then what could it be?' His gaze fell on Melanie, and his heart skipped a beat. 'Could it be because of that young woman?'He had assumed Shane was just playing around, but seeing him now, Theodore’s expression grew serious.…The rescue continued into the night, and finally, there was good news."They have found them."Those four simple words thundered through the crowd like a bolt of lightning.Melanie’s sinking heart leaped with hope. She rushed towards the scene without hesitation, with Jade hurrying behind her.The site wa

Despite getting an undeserved benefit, Theodore felt his chest tighten with frustration, almost causing him to cough up blood. Jade was clearly using the Fitzgerald family to pressure him."If you have any demands, just state them." Theodore sighed in resignation, his voice weak and defeated. He had already decided that as long as Jade's demands were not too outrageous, he would grit his teeth and part with more money to settle the matter."Actually, what I have in mind is..." Jade paused, her gaze filled with meaning as she looked at Theodore and smiled warmly. "I want to help you fulfill a dream."Theodore was intrigued and unable to contain his curiosity. "Fulfill a dream for me? What do you mean by that?"He was skeptical of Jade’s sudden shift from a wager to fulfilling dreams. Only a fool would believe her at face value. His anxiety grew, unsure of what scheme Jade was plotting, and sweat began to bead on his forehead and trickle down his cheeks."Yes, fulfill a dream for yo
