For the first time in his entire life, Edward spoke back at his father.

Craig said, As Craig and Mary continued their conversation, they were oblivious to the unfolding drama outside the gym. Unknowingly to them, the infamous gangster kingpin, Jackson, had his sights set on entering the gym house. His reputation preceded him, and the gym's security systems had already flagged him as a dangerous individual, Jackson approached the entrance confidently, unaware that his presence had already been detected by the gym's advanced computer system.

I said to them, and they stood up from their seats, bowed lowly, and left the hall. It's been years, and the company Alpha Reed, my father, left in Lucian's care, was still trying to find its ground.

Edward clarified. “Come now, mate, that is rather unreasonable. Can you not see how hot it is? At least come in and stand by the door since you do not wish to sit,” Ethan persuaded. Edward shook his head but complied with Ethan's request. Ethan quickly went inside to fetch the money and handed it to Edward. Edward counted the money and said, “Um, sir, I am afraid the amount is insufficient.” Ethan was surprised and asked, “What do you mean by that?”

“I’m sorry to interrupt, but there’s a message here for you, my king,” Edward said, stepping into the conquered estate hall with a scroll in his hand. “Richard of the King’s men found it on the stairs of the estate, and there was no footprint to trace it. He believes it came through a carrier pigeon.” Xavier stopped speaking and turned to face Edward, who had interrupted his discussion with Alpha Koz and Sir Valerio.

Severin frowned and clenched his fist. "Awww, is something the matter? Does the poor villager feel like punching me? You know who I am, don't you? Now that you know that I plan to give the Shanahans a dowry of a million dollars for Diane, you should be more aware of the gap between us. This gap is so huge that you can't even dream of crossing it. Are you still going to slog me?" Edward grinned coldly, raised his head slightly, and assumed a position of superiority with a look of contempt.

… A few luxury cars appeared on the winding mountain road and slowly drove into the cemetery at around 2:00 pm. The car door swung open to reveal the tycoon, Edward Paulson. Seven to eight bodyguards clad in black surrounded him when he got out of the car. Edward was in his 60s. He had traveled to Arlana during his younger years to make a name for himself. Now that he had achieved tremendous success, he prioritized the state of his family's geomancy and his late ancestors' peace above everything else. Shane immediately fixed an amicable smile on his face when he noticed Edward's arrival.

"Take a look for yourself." Edward's face paled when he saw the contract, and he collapsed to the ground. He never imagined that because of his ignorant actions, the family would lose multi-millions of assets in such a desperate way. He could not accept it. He had gone from being a high and mighty young master to nothing. He asked, "Dad, is Henry really that powerful?" "What do you think?" Stanley was furious; he could see through his son's thoughts and said angrily, "You better put away your stupid thoughts, or you'll drag the Warrens down again.

Edward just turned to me with a soft smile. Jim never saw it coming—he genuinely thought Edward was some paid actor. Rowena’s eyes lit up with envy. "Ella, have you completely lost it? Hiring someone to provoke Jim? You really think people can’t tell you’re faking this?" Edward had been abroad for years. It made sense they didn’t recognize him. But if they wanted to play dumb, I wasn’t going to hold back. "You’re way off. He’s my fiancé, Edward Shaw, eldest son of the Shaw family," I said clearly.

"That's my girl. Now, let's get you looking less... engineer-y." As we walked towards the elevator, a hush fell over the office. Alexander Kane, CEO of Trident Holdings and certified corporate Adonis, strode past us, his eyes fixed on some distant point. The air is undeniably thick with his presence. "Good evening, Mr. Kane," Mary purred, her voice dripping honey. Alexander's gaze flickered to us for a millisecond. "Evening," he muttered, before disappearing into his private elevator.
