Just when Sergio was letting his imagination run wild, Yadriel spoke again. "Sergio, do you know who Lilian Garver is?" "Lilian Garver?" Sergio frowned as he thought, then a smile was plastered on his face. "Is that the woman who has a great influence in the international finance industry, and even the political circles in the Middle East?" Yadriel's eyes darted around as he listened. A bright light flashed in the depth of his gaze. "Yes, that's her. She is now over 70 years old. She has no children and is all alone. However, as far as I know, she was a famous star when she was young, and she was from A City. She married a foreigner, who was a very well-known politician, and gave birth to a daughter. However, for some reason they got a divorce. Since then, she fully dedicated her life to politics. She never remarried again. This woman is very skillful. She has made a name for herself in international politics, and possessed the veto power in global meetings. Therefore
"But what?" Sergio carefully listened to Yadriel, and realised he hadn't finished his sentence. He looked up. That was when he saw Yadriel's tall figure looking rather different. In his heart, his father had always been as strong as the mountains, as deep as the ocean, but now he actually looked harrowing. There was even a faint trace of desolation, causing his heart to drop a little. Yadriel had always fought for his ambition in politics. He would never hide anything from Sergio, and would even share his ambition and wisdom with him. Due to the influence from Yadriel, his ambition was to become a politician since he was young. However, that day, for the very first time, he saw how lonely Yadriel was, which upset him. "Sergio, an outstanding politician not only has vicious means, but also has to take care of the overall situation, accept it and tolerate it. You can't be indecisive when it comes to your relationship. Marriages are to serve the politics. 'Tolerance' is the ke
"You're still having a slight fever," she said softly. "Let's stop playing and get some rest, okay?" Jenna tidied up the things and picked Jerry up. Jenna carried Jerry into the bedroom and put him on the bed. Perhaps he was really exhausted, because not long after he was put on the bed, he fell asleep. Jenna covered him with a blanket and touched his forehead worriedly. She couldn't be rest assured, because after all, he had been discharged from the hospital before he even recovered. "Don't worry." Hansen came in the room and reached out to hold her hand. He said in a soft voice, "The team of professionals is coming here now. It will only take one or two hours for them to arrive. Let's get something to eat first. We'll need the energy to take care of Jerry later." His voice was very soft and soothing. This gentle and considerate side of Hansen had not been shown before. He was totally different from his bossy, dictatorial past. Now that he had been showing this
The Richards Group's current car sales had surpassed that of the Whalen Group in every aspect. Mainly, it was due to the failings of the Whalen Group. Hence, almost all the orders went to them. However, if the problem concerning the raw materials could not be solved, things would not turn out well. In the business world, not moving forward means falling behind. The Richards Group were on track and had just found their footing. Therefore, a single wrong move could end them. He heard about the petrochemical factory by accident when he was abroad some time ago. Once he returned, he immediately arranged Jose and a few others to conduct a private investigation. That was how he found that place. Initially, he thought it was a problem he could solve with money. However, reality could not be further from that! He had always believed that any problem that could be solved with money was not a problem. At that moment, money was no longer the solution. "Mr. Richards, heavil
Sergio was taken aback by his words. Soon, he raised his head and turned to look at Yadriel. A confident smile was etched on his face. "Don't worry, Dad. I am your son! Believe me, I will make sure you're satisfied with the outcome, but meanwhile you must give me the freedom to make my own choices." "Very well. You're a big boy now. It's only expected that you know how to make choices and take responsibility," spoke Yadriel in a muffled voice as he took the hot towel handed over by the servant to wipe the corners of his mouth gently. Sergio pursed his thin lips. A faint smirk appeared. At that moment, a housekeeper walked up to them, cautiously informing them. "Mr. Xanthe, there are two people outside, who go by the names Kyrie and Eamon, asking to see you." Yadriel's eyes widened ever so slightly before he instructed the housekeeper. "Bring them to the study." "Yes, sir," responded the housekeeper dutifully before he left. "Dad, it seems that
Jenna watched over Jerry for two days straight. Under the supervision of Hansen, the medical team finally stabilized Jerry's condition after the third day. There were no longer symptoms of a slight fever. His coughing too, had improved from severe coughs to mild coughs. With each passing day, Jerry's mental state seemed to be better. The same could be said about his relationship with Hansen. The orange trees in the small town had ripened in this season. They were a bright shade of amber! One afternoon, Jenna remembered that oranges could help relieve coughs. Hence, she went out to pick some fresh oranges just for Jerry. As she hurried back home, she passed by the courtyard next door and spotted Alvin walking out of it. She couldn't help but to find it odd. Why would Alvin walk out of someone else's house? Just then, Alvin turned around, noticing Jenna. "Good afternoon, Madam Jenna." He walked up to her swiftly and greeted her with a smile. Jenna look
"Alvin, what are you babbling about?" Hansen's cold voice floated in from the outside. Before she heard his voice, Jenna detected a familiar scent. In a flash, Hansen's tall figure walked through the door. "Mr. Richards, I..." Alvin's face turned red, and he started stuttering again. Hansen glanced at him, and then at Jenna. An expression of annoyance was written all over his face. Jenna's eyes sparkled as she tried to suppress her laughter. She met his eyes with a hint of mischief. "Alvin, since when did you become so gossipy?" Hansen looked displeased. Snorting, he growled, "You big mouth!" As soon as he had set foot in the house, he heard Alvin's cheesy compliments. As he walked further in, he instantly understood what was going on. What a joke! Did he, Mr. Richards, need his subordinates to put in a good word for him with his woman? "Mr. Richards, uh, there's something I need to do. I've got to go." Things were not going well. Therefore, Al
"Sigh, to have such a blessing." Sara let out a long sigh full of sadness. "She is very unfortunate. Her marriage didn't go well, and until now, she's still a single mother. I'm worried sick about her." As she spoke, Sara felt depressed. "Don't worry, Aunt Sara. Jenna is a nice girl. She will definitely have a happy home." Sergio quickly handed over a napkin as he comforted her softly. "Alas, her father and I are to blame. I feel guilty about it." Sara took the napkin from him to wipe her tears. Pain and guilt were written all over her face. "Aunt Sara, life is capricious. There are some things that are inevitable. So, there is no need to be sad. If everyone knows the consequences beforehand, then regrets will not exist. Nevertheless, obviously, that's impossible. Let's leave the past in the past. What matters is the future. People must always look forward to the future." Sergio comforted her. His thoughtful and kind words reached Sara's heart. Upon listen
