Suddenly, one of the operators spun and flashed his middle finger at the crowd behind James.He cursed, "What the hell? I knew we couldn't count on these intellects in a crisis! At least we're dependable. All that reading must have rotted their brains if they thought they could one-up and manipulate Chief Bronson!"Harvey froze in place and watched as James walked further away, leaving everything behind.And yet, at the same time, it was as if James had already gotten everything he wanted. He left with a squad of armed operators, swaggering out the door.Sensing something, Harvey turned to face Wendell and the team of aides, all of whom wore a mix of expressions. He said grimly, "He has no need of your services anymore. Seek employment elsewhere."The Bronsons no longer needed power, but blind, unadulterated loyalty.…The special forces' black cars cleared the roads, and the Lincoln limousine sped among the fleet. They were unhindered by traffic along the way.Inside the lim

From the moment Beverly fled with Harold and Esther, she'd kept Mine Hunter running. They wouldn't show up on Skyweb. Once they reached Tech Valley, they would change their names and erase their old identities. James would never be able to find them.Time would pass, and after three years, James would receive news of Beverly's death. Whatever relationship they'd had would become a thing of the past, and the days would pass as usual.…James arrived at the airport only to be greeted by an anxious Kyle, who said urgently, "Finally! Why'd you only bring three people with you? Where are the operators? Hurry up and have the airport surrounded!"Bev and the kids boarded the plane earlier, but the flight was delayed. They didn't come out the VIP lane, so they're probably waiting in the gate area now."Setting his panic aside, Kyle was admittedly shocked that James had shown up. The man had potentially given up on a decade-long plan to become a high-ranking government official."Why did

James opened his eyes, his gaze dark as he reached to slide the straps of Beverly's backpack off her shoulders. He didn't want the backpack weighing her down.Then, he pulled her closer by the collar of her shirt and cupped her face, tilting his head up to kiss her.Not a single word passed through his lips. He was terrified that he would end up exposing himself if he spoke. And so, he kissed her longingly.Suddenly, a dozen or so black SUVs zoomed out of nowhere and began to pursue their cab with relentless frenzy. At the next turn, two cars driven by special forces operators cut off the black SUVs.A gunfight broke out within seconds.When the cab arrived at the east entrance of the Grand Hall, Beverly checked her watch and grew sullen. "It's 10:10 am."Wanda was crestfallen, but she chose to focus on Beverly's return. "If James doesn't get appointed this round, then so be it. He's still young; he's got plenty of chances to make it big in his career."Besides, his career shoul

Beverly cast a sidelong look at Harvey. She'd always had the impression that Harvey was a forgiving and affable man. All this time, she'd believed Wanda was the one constantly driving a wedge between James and her.But she was wrong.Naturally, only a Bronson would care about continuing the family's bloodline. Why would Wanda concern herself with such matters more than her husband would?"What are you saying, Dad?" Beverly asked in a cool, steady tone, concealing her shock."I'm saying you should have another woman bear James' children on your behalf," Harvey explained. He looked impassive, as if he were commenting on the weather.Gwen's words reverberated in Beverly's head. She lowered her gaze, forlorn and sullen. "I don't think you need my permission for that.""The child will be a legitimate heir of the family. Officially, you'll be the mother." Harvey sounded as indifferent as he looked. "We'll need your consent."Beverly's hand flew to her chest. Her heart felt like it was

"Was this your plan all along? To let James marry Bev and obediently take that position, and then plot against her?" Wanda questioned."How is it plotting?" Harvey retorted. "Bev can't have children, so isn't it a good thing if I arrange for another woman to bear a child on her behalf? Didn't you also say that what Dr. Parker said made sense?""I was only inspired by her idea and thought of finding a surrogate for them. But you? You've been searching for a woman for James from the very beginning!" Wanda flung the stack of photos at Harvey, which then scattered all over the floor."How shameless of you! Would you have done the same to me back then if I couldn't have children?""Nonsense!" Harvey seemed infuriated by Wanda's words. "Be rational, Wanda! Bev doesn't have many years left, and if James has nothing to hold onto, what will he do in the future?"Today, he disregarded his career, neglected the glory of our family, and left. What about years from now? Could he possibly… "T
