"Are there any other wounds on your body?" Rose asked coldly. At the moment, she had no interest in Camellia copying someone else's hidden weapon.She was covered in blood, especially on her chest, a large patch of bloodstains. Camellia lowered her gaze, her eyes slightly dimmed, and then swept past, turning her back to Rose. "There's an external injury here."Rose cautiously lifted her blouse, revealing her pale skin stained red with blood. The sight was horrifying, and she steeled herself to remove the small stone lodged in her. Camellia winced in pain as she pulled it out, realizing the weight of both their bodies shouldn't be underestimated.Herman rushed towards her without even considering the situation. Oh well, she wouldn't hold it against him. After all, he saved my life. She wondered if Herman would survive. She would know by tonight if his brother would seek revenge.His brother wasn't a good person by any means, a very dangerous individual. The twins' abilities were likely
"No way!""No way!"Jessica and Henry opposed in unison, a 'no negotiation' expression on their faces, extremely resolute.Jessica said, "Honey, we're a family. Isn't a family supposed to face difficulties together?""Yeah, Daddy, you can't just kick us out!"Mr. Marcus raised an eyebrow, smirking, "Miss Jessica, I remember you said we're not married yet, we're not family. And, Henry, you just said today that Mommy and Daddy aren't married yet, so you should only take care of your mommy. What's wrong? Have both of you conveniently forgotten what you said? Do you need me to remind you?"Jessica, "..."Henry, "..."Both mother and son fell silent, mentally scolding Mr. Marcus. He couldn't remember anything else, but jokes, those he remembered clearly.Camellia kept silent, eating her food, interestedly observing this family. If a family was like this, it wouldn't be bad at all. It was very warm!"In any case, I'm not going anywhere!" Jessica declared decisively, her voice firm, her eyes
That night, Camellia tossed and turned in bed. On one hand, the pain in her wrist and spine kept her from sleeping soundly. On the other hand, her heart was tuned to every sound outside. Henry installed infrared detection around the villa perimeter, and Mr. Marcus activated the internal alarm. Camellia's heart was attentive to every sound.Even Rose couldn't sleep. She lay on the sofa, listening intently as well.Mr. Marcus remained in his study, working late into the night, having video conferences with Lionel, Aaron, and others to discuss strategies, and devising the most effective methods to deal with Saxon. They were also working on an all-around offensive and defensive tactic, attempting to break through Saxon's defenses in the shortest possible time, to completely put an end to Noblefull Group.Henry, in his study, delved into computer technology. His determination to win against Herman and Duncan had been completely aroused. He couldn't accept anything less than victory. His co
The next day when the sun rose, Mr. Marcus had just fallen asleep. The room was draped in several layers of thick curtains. Henry was also asleep. And Camellia, who had a wound, wasn't feeling well either, so she was resting.Jessica could only say goodbye to Rose before leaving."Are you sure it's okay for you to go out alone? Let me accompany you, just in case Saxon suddenly targets you," Rose said decisively."They're all at home, not in the right frame of mind. You stay at home, I'll be fine. I made plans to have dinner with a friend. Saxon will only act desperately if he has no other choice. I think he also wants to challenge Marcus. He won't do anything to me for now."Rose nodded and took off her watch and put it on her wrist. "Take this, press the red button if you're in danger."Jessica looked at it and nodded before leaving.Grace came to pick up Jessica, and they went to the hospital together. Grace asked, "Have you asked the doctor? What did he say?""I didn't ask," Jessic
Jessica was trying to persuade Grace, but without looking up, she replied, "Mind your own business.""Aren't you better off letting me entertain you rather than drinking alone? It'll be more fun," the handsome man smiled."I've seen plenty of men trying to pick up girls. If you don't have what it takes, go back to the womb and come out again. Don't embarrass yourself," Jessica said coldly.Grace and Jessica were both beautiful. One was stunningly gorgeous, and the other was charming and captivating. Many men had their eyes on them, lusting after them.Bang! Grace slammed down her glass and sneered, "Mr. Isaac, don't you see? You dare to mess with a woman of Mr. Marcus?"Mr. Isaac's smile froze, and then he suddenly laughed, "Mr. Marcus? Who is Mr. Marcus' woman? Besides, Mr. Marcus is now a defeated man. His Noblefull Group has been taken over by the mafia, and the Smith family fell in his generation. No need to fear about a man like him."Jessica's face darkened. With her fingers tig
The Noblefull Group first experienced a loss of customers, with almost 80 percent of them forcefully taken away by Mr. Marcus. He and those customers had maintained a strong partnership, knowing each other very well. As soon as he left the Noblefull Group, he began secretly contacting their customers, using both threats and incentives to snatch away all of the core customers that sustained the Noblefull Group.Although Saxon had made some preparations, intimidating some people with the help of the mafia to prevent them from acting recklessly. Mr. Marcus, who had been planning for the demise of the Noblefull Group, was very strategic in choosing his clients. Most of these people answered his call without hesitation, and Saxon eventually lost to the charisma of Mr. Marcus.As the customers were taken away, they temporarily fell under the ownership of Aaron, Derrick, and LN International Media. They chose to sign transition period contracts, which was an unspoken agreement between the fo
"Fucking Saxon!" Lionel exploded in anger during a conference call.Others simply chuckled, trying to calm him down. This was the battlefield, and they had no control over the tactics employed. It was clear that the situation had spiraled out of control.As a result of the influence of these international companies, the stock prices of LN International Media, the Moore Family Group, and the Brown Family Group were all affected, continuously plummeting in recent days, much to Lionel's frustration."This mafia style won't change into something legitimate. Damn it, is he trying to trigger a global economic crisis?" Lionel was furious. "In this business battle, LN International Media can only provide covert assistance. Many things cannot be brought to light. But now that he has made it a big deal, let's not hold back. He knows how to find people, so why shouldn't we?"Lionel's anger was justified. Saxon's actions broke the rules of the game, just like in primitive societies where there we
The collapse of the central part of the Walnut Creek project caused an unprecedented scandal of government corruption in shoddy construction. It also tarnished the reputation of Noblefull Group.Alston Smith's anger caused him to vomit blood, and he was rushed to the hospital overnight. Saxon received the news earlier than Alston Smith. He remained unusually calm, as if he had already anticipated it. He didn't mention the matter at all and ordered his subordinates to make it look like they were attempting to salvage the situation.The extent of this collapse was extremely severe. It was initially a large-scale project, already halfway built. But unexpectedly, it collapsed from the center, destroying even the foundation. Saxon had indeed encountered many technical issues with the Walnut Creek project.Because they needed to rush the construction, the original design drawings were not properly recorded, only rough sketches were available. The responsibility for the handover was clearly
