After dinner, Daniel called Thomas, Joseph, Nelson, and Selina to his study.The Robinson family was now like prey being stalked by predators, with traps in every direction. There was no escape route that wouldn't end badly.In the past, the wealthy families stayed out of politics but stepped up dur
Daniel looked at them and nodded slightly."Those in power are wary of the Robinsons because they think our wealth is too concentrated."The Robinson main family and its branches, including adopted children, were numerous, but Daniel was the direct line, so they naturally received the largest share.
Meeting Daniel's gaze, Selina's heart skipped a beat as she looked at him uneasily."Selina, your name hasn't been entered into the Robinson family registry yet. So you won't be receiving a share of the Robinson estate," Daniel finally said after some hesitation.Hearing this, all three brothers sho
David lowered his gaze, his lips turning downward: "I know you don't like me, that you blame me for hurting her before. I will make it up to her properly."Nicole felt her heart soften, but remembering Daniel's instructions, she forced herself to continue: "How will you make it up? By suffering the
The news of the Robinsons' family division spread quickly after Daniel's casual mention.According to him, anyone in the Robinson family - whether direct line or branch family, regardless of age or gender - could participate in the asset distribution.This news brought joy to some and worry to other
Dominic felt uncomfortable being looked down upon by someone around his son's age.But what could he do? This was Bruno after all."Mr. Sanz, what Daniel won't do, I will. If you help me, I'll be forever loyal to you."Bruno lifted his teacup, took a slow sip, and finally spoke: "Haven't we helped y
Sarah had planned to continue her studies, with her academic advisor already arranged.Earlier, due to David leaving Auroville and being confined in the hospital in Lumina with limited outside contact, Sarah had to delay her plans.Now that the situation in Lumina had improved slightly and with pres
Looking puzzled at Nicole, was she suggesting David should follow Vincent's example and abandon his work to accompany her abroad?David was also surprised.Earlier when Nicole said Selina had many options, he thought she was hinting that Selina was highly sought after and he should seize his chance.
Seeing Selina on the verge of losing control, Joseph quickly grabbed her arm. "Selina, stay calm. Now that we have him, unless he wants to die..."Before he could finish, Bruno suddenly broke free from his captors and made a dash for the balcony.No one expected Bruno to make such a desperate move,
A silver flash.Selina's middle and index fingers held a silver needle, which she ruthlessly jabbed into Bruno's arm.Bruno's arm went numb, involuntarily releasing Selina.Selina quickly spun around and kicked straight at his most vulnerable area.Crack—A faint sound.Selina's movement was so fast
Bruno had come to Japan following news of David and her.He was so focused on plotting against David that he forgot to clean up his own tracks.From the moment she saw him in the ICU and suspected he wasn't David, Selina had appeared to ask Joseph for help investigating, but had actually told Thomas
Selina didn't know, nor did she want to."But I want to keep playing," Bruno looked up again, all previous dejection gone as an almost cruel smile crept into his eyes. "Unless you want to watch David die a gruesome death."Under his gaze, Selina felt a chill like a venomous snake slowly crawling up
The man unconsciously raised his hand to touch his cheek. Noticing Selina watching, his fingers twitched slightly before he pretended to rub his forehead, nodding reluctantly."I'm curious about what happened when you met him that day?" Selina blinked, smiling as she looked at him."I..." the man st
Still, the show had to go on.After the doctor and nurses finished their examination, Selina went to learn about his condition.The doctor looked at the medical chart with a complex expression, sighing softly: "Mr. Wilson's overall condition is fairly good. However, it seems the head injury has resu
David's condition had improved enough for him to leave the ICU and transfer to a regular hospital room.Selina had already completed her discharge paperwork, but instead of leaving the hospital, she stayed in the suite adjoining David's room to take care of him.When David woke up, Selina was gently
If it wasn't David, who else would go to such lengths?But Selina wasn't someone who made unreasonable demands - Joseph believed she must have her reasons for saying this."Did you notice something?" Joseph couldn't help asking.To his surprise, Selina shook her head."If I said it was just my intui
When Selina came out of the ICU, Joseph was already waiting by the door.Only after confirming she was fine did Joseph finally relax, though he didn't approve of her rushing to see David right after waking up."You're pregnant now - even if you don't consider yourself, think about the baby at least.
