Terence's eyes brimmed with terror. His body shook uncontrollably, yet he stubbornly tried to stand his ground. "I-I didn't…"The veins at Joshua's temples throbbed. "Say that again.""I didn't do anything… It was all Bradley—ah!" Terence's tearful scream rang out across the room.Joshua's eyes were bloodshot. Consumed by rage, he had snatched up a nearby feather duster and brought it down hard on Terence. He had no idea which maid had thoughtfully left it by the bedside."Dad! Ouch! It hurts!"Terence had been raised like a precious little prince. He had never experienced anything like this in his life. In agony, he rolled off the bed onto the floor, wailing at the top of his lungs.Jessica's face went pale. She was completely stunned. After all these years by Joshua's side, this was the first time she had ever seen him this furious. It was as if the ground had split open beneath her feet.She could hardly believe that a single unruly child had the power to turn a normally comp

Sean continued, "Mr. Terence is young and requires strict guidance. Though love and care are important, he must learn the difference between right and wrong. With the proper foundation, he can grow into a principled and upright man."Listening to Sean, Joshua's lips twisted into a mocking grin. "Are you seriously giving me parenting advice? You've been single for almost 30 years! How dare you tell me how to raise a child? Enough of this nonsense."Sean offered a wry smile. "To be honest, I don't know much about these matters. I just happened to overhear Mrs. Stroud talking about them."Joshua's breath hitched, rendering him momentarily speechless.He had never imagined raising or teaching a child could be a challenge. To him, it was far easier than conquering the business world or expanding territories.But today, he felt a weariness he had never known before.He had personally inspected construction sites, traveled for business, and rushed from one meeting to another. Still, he

Tense and uneasy, Jasmine trudged into the living room."Evan, you're back! You must be tired from your trip!" With a smile, she stepped forward to help Evan with his coat."You—" Brimming with anger, Evan suddenly froze and took a step back. "Why do you smell like shit? Did you fall into the toilet or something?"Jasmine's face betrayed the mortification she felt inside. "What nonsense are you talking about?""I remember you always cared so much about cleanliness before. Why are you neglecting your personal hygiene now?" Evan shot back, casting her a disdainful look.His words left a bitter taste in Jasmine's heart.She had been married to Evan for six years. Every day, she devoted herself to managing the household and raising Bradley. To ensure Evan's career thrived, she worked tirelessly, overseeing everything from top to bottom.In the end, the only quality of hers that seemed to matter to Evan was her love of cleanliness. But now, it appeared even that last redeeming trait

Winter genuinely wished the ground would swallow her whole.Seeing her bolt like a startled rabbit, Ezekiel's lips curved into a faint smile. His breathing deepened slightly as he slowly turned around."Mr. Fulton." As luck would have it, George suddenly knocked and entered the room.Ezekiel's eyes widened. He didn't have time to put on his robe. A rosy flush stretched from his collarbone down to his chest, exuding an almost tangible desire."M-Mr. Fulton, why are your neck and chest so red? Was the bathwater too hot?" George asked, stepping forward quickly. "Let me take a look. I can apply some ointment on it…"Ezekiel's eyes snapped open, veins throbbing at his temples. "Mind your own business. Get out!"At dinner, George and Ezekiel sat at the round dining table.Though he gave off a charming, carefree air, Ezekiel upheld the manners of a true gentleman. He never spoke a word during meals or at bedtime.George, on the other hand, had no such restraint. He jabbered incessantl

"Alright. When the time comes, there's no need for Auro to show his face. A broadcast will be enough," Ezekiel said, a cold glint flickering through his eyes. "That mother and son are nothing more than parasites clinging to the Stroud family. They have no right to see Auro again."George nodded firmly. "Mr. Fulton, what do you intend to do about Joshua and Terence?" he asked in a low voice."Since Auro has chosen to spare Terence, I won't pursue the matter further. As for Joshua, I'll take a different approach." Ezekiel paused, his gaze darkening. "With LightTrace entering Jeston, opportunities will arise soon enough. It's only fitting that a father pays for his son's mistakes."After George left, Ezekiel made his way toward the study.All of a sudden, he came to a halt.On the balcony in the distance, Winter stood alone, her slender figure braving the wind. Her head hung low, and her shoulders shook uncontrollably.With his hands tucked into his pockets, Ezekiel watched her in s
