Chapter 31

Just as Winona opened her mouth to say something, her eyes widened in disbelief when she saw someone approaching.“Edward, what are you doing here?”Winona approached Edward, her face darkening.Edward glanced at Winona and said flatly, “Why can’t I be here?”Winona’s words made everyone realize that the very ordinary-looking man before them was precisely Winona’s useless husband and they began shooting him looks of disdain.Stephanie walked over, her eyes filled with rage and scorn as she spoke haughtily, “Who do you think you are? Are you even fit to be here at this meeting?“Or did you come hankering after Ms. Spencer when you heard that she is about to secure a ten-billion-dollar deal?”Edward looked coldly at Stephanie and said indifferently, “Keep your mouth shut if you have nothing good to say. Why do I need to explain to you lot why I’m here?”Stephanie’s face flushed red with anger. Just as she was about to call for security to kick Edward out of the place, Jim walked

Chapter 32

Everyone stared at Edward in disbelief.“Is he crazy? How dare he slap Mr. Wilson! Does he have a death wish?”“I think Edward Channing has a screw loose. Mr. Wilson certainly won’t spare him. Edward is doomed this time.”“Things are getting exciting. I can’t wait to see how Mr. Wilson will teach this useless leech a lesson.”After everyone recovered from their initial shock, they all looked at Edward with mocking disdain.They were certain that Edward was doomed, having slapped Jim on the face.Winona was also staring at Edward with shock and disbelief. She couldn’t believe Edward dared to hit Jim.Jim was the eldest son of the Wilson family. Slapping him was akin to dashing all hopes of making it in life.“Edward, are you crazy? Apologize to Mr. Wilson right away!”Winona snapped back to reality and rebuked Edward harshly. She knew that the only way to save Edward was to defuse Jim’s anger.Although she had divorced Edward, she didn’t want to stand idly by watching Edward’s

Winona shot Stephanie a cold look which made her fall silent, not daring to utter another word.Jim said coldly, “Winona, don’t bother trying to persuade this rascal. Since he has a death wish, I’ll give him what he wants.”Jim clapped his hands and at the next moment, two big, burly men walked over.“Mr. Wilson!”The two of them bowed to Jim and greeted him in loud, resounding voices.Anxiety filled Winona’s eyes when she saw what was happening. “Mr. Wilson, please give Edward another chance on my account. He didn’t mean to slap you just now.”Jim said with a wave of his hand, “Winona, don’t bother pleading on his behalf. You saw his attitude for yourself. He doesn’t even appreciate it.“You two, give this rascal a good time. Do whatever you want with him, just don’t kill him.”The two bodyguards heard Jim’s instructions and looked at Edward with sardonic amusement, walking slowly toward him as they rubbed their palms with glee.“Hey, rascal. Are you the one who offended Mr.

Edward smirked as he looked at the incoming attack and lifted his right hand to grab the fist.The bodyguard whose fist was in Edward’s hand looked confused.He knew clearly how fast his attack was.Given the speed at which he attacked, any other opponent in a typical boxing match wouldn’t be able to respond, not to mention grab his fist like what Edward did.However, he didn’t think much of why Edward was even able to grab his fist and tried to retract his fist.Very soon, he realized that no matter how hard he tried, Edward had a firm grip over his fist.A glint flashed past Edward’s narrowed eyes as he twisted his wrist, quick and forceful.Crack!“Ahh!”A loud, crisp sound of bones breaking rang in the air and the bodyguard shrieked in pain.The other bodyguard saw his partner subdued by Edward and looked confused and bewildered.His partner’s pained shrieks snapped him back to reality and he charged toward Edward.“Hmph!”The big, burly bodyguard towered over Edward,

Chapter 35

Based on her impression of Edward, he had always been a gentle and mild-mannered person, even weak at times.Fighting was certainly out of the question for him.Yet, when she saw how viciously Edward beat the two bodyguards up, Winona suddenly felt as though Edward was a stranger. She was married to him for three years, but it felt as though she didn’t know him at all.“Edward Channing, you’re dead meat! How dare you insult Mr. Wilson over and over again? The Wilson family will be after your head now!”Stephanie yelled agitatedly at Edward, her eyes filled with scorn.Although she was truly taken aback by how quickly and viciously Edward took care of the two bodyguards just now, it did nothing to abate the deep-rooted disdain she had for Edward.Edward looked incisively at Stephanie and said coldly, “Say a word more and I promise you you’ll end up just like him.”Stephanie looked frightened as Edward threatened her, pointing at the two bodyguards who were both out cold on the fl

Chapter 36

“Edward!” Winona roared. “Have you had enough?”She looked at him with eyes filled with disappointment.“I never expected you to be someone like that, Edward.“I know you’re very upset over the divorce, but there’s no need to vent your anger on Mr. Wilson.“Listen to me and apologize to him right away. Otherwise, even I can’t save you!”Edward snorted and looked coldly at Winona.“Winona, you saw how that dirtbag insulted me just now. Do you find me unreasonable for slapping him?“He clearly deserved it, yet you insist that I apologize to him. Are you really that eager to suck up to him?”Winona’s fist clenched at Edward’s words as she panting heavily, her chest heaving. Jim looked haughtily at Edward and said, “Winona, don’t waste your breath on him.“Putting aside the fact that he slapped me, the fact that he sneaked into our signing ceremony alone is enough for Draken Group to damn him.”The look on Winona’s face changed as she looked crestfallen at Edward.“Edward, I’v

Chapter 37

Doubt filled everyone’s eyes when they heard Edward’s arrogant claims.“Does Edward Channing have a screw loose? The Wilsons are an elite family in Havaria. How could they possibly be annihilated just by a word that leech utters?”“He’s blowing hot air, don’t you understand? You actually believe he can destroy the Wilsons? You might as well say I'm king of the country."“The guts of him to come here to blow hot air. Even if Mr. Wilson spares me, Draken Group certainly wouldn’t.”The crowd never stopped hurling insults at Edward.Winona heard the excited chatter and looked at Edward with chagrin.“Edward, have you had enough? Must you be the butt of everyone’s jokes before you put a stop to this?”Edward threw Winona a glance but ignored her words. Instead, he turned his attention to Jim.“Seems like you don’t believe me.”Jim looked arrogantly at Edward and said with his nose in the air, “Since you’re so capable, show me what you’ve got. Show me how exactly you’ll annihilate m

Chapter 38

Jennifer scoffed and raised a hand to slap Jim.“Are you crazy?”Jim held his cheek and hastily retracted a few steps back, putting a distance between them.“Why are you like that bastard Edward, slapping me whenever you please. I rely on my face for a living. What if you ruin it?”Jim went rambling on in his annoyance.Jennifer looked coldly at Jim and said icily, “Your rudeness to me alone is enough reason for me to gouge your eyes out!”Edward looked at the icy expression on Jennifer’s face with surprise in his eyes.He didn’t expect Jennifer to have a hot-tempered side to her. Stephanie stepped forward and burst out at Jennifer, “Where did you come from, bitch? Don’t think that Mr. Wilson will fear you just because of those men you brought along with you.“I can’t believe you hit Mr. Wilson. You’re doomed, you know that? Mr. Wilson is the eldest son of the Wilsons of Havaria. They would never spare you.”Smack!Jennifer raised a hand and slapped Stephanie, with utterly

“Did you really have to find someone to cause a scene here at the signing ceremony just because I divorced you? Do you really think doing that is a form of revenge against me?”Edward looked coldly at Winona and chuckled, saying, “So that’s the kind of person you think I am.“Let me say this point blank: Spencer Group won’t be able to secure the ten-billion-dollar deal today. I said it. Even the Armageddon wouldn’t change things.”“That fool is an expert at blowing hot air.”Jim chuckled coldly as he looked derisively at Edward.“Who do you think you are? Today is the day of Draken Group and Spencer Group’s signing ceremony. Who are you to stop them?”Winona looked at Edward, crestfallen.“Edward, if you’re doing this because I didn’t compensate you after our divorce, I can always make it up to you. Can you please stop causing us trouble?“This collaboration is immensely important to Spencer Group. Mr. Wilson went to great lengths to help us secure this project. I will never gi

Chapter 40

Everyone burst out laughing upon hearing Jennifer claim that Edward was the one who secured the ten-billion-dollar project with Draken Group on Spencer Group’s behalf.They did not believe an ounce of that ridiculous fib, thinking that Jennifer was simply spouting nonsense.Winona’s eyes widened in shock as she looked at Jennifer in disbelief.“What did you say? Draken Group gave us this deal because of Edward?”Before Jennifer could explain things further, Stephanie started yelling at the top of her voice.“Ms. Spencer, this woman is an actress whom Edward hired. How could you take her word for it?“Just think about who Edward is. Putting aside the question of whether Mr. Dawson of Draken Group will even bother meeting him, I’m afraid Edward wouldn’t even be able to enter Draken Group’s office building. How could he possibly help us secure this deal?“We could get our hands on this deal simply because Mr. Wilson has been on our side, helping us. I think Edward is just jealous
