Chad felt no sense of vindication from revenge when he considered Matilda's situation.That was because he was aware that their divorce resulted from someone meddling from behind the scenes.At that point, he desired vengeance. He would reclaim what belonged to Matilda and himself. Only then would Chad remarry Matilda.After hanging up the phone, Chad returned to Temple Road.There had been two arson incidents the previous night, and the smell of gasoline and the charred remains of the fire lingered in the air.At the western end of Temple Road, seven or eight incinerated sanitation trucks stood silently by the roadside.Several charred bodies were wrapped in white cloth on the ground nearby.Many of the residents were terrified and had already begun to move.Panic had spread among Temple Road's elderly residents, and moving companies crowded the street.The panic was contagious; they were truly terrified.Chad walked down Temple Road and witnessed the bustling activity.Whe
Chad knew about the Clairvoyant Eye since he was a child, thanks to his family's ancient books.Furthermore, his ancestors had relied on the Clairvoyant Eye thousands of years ago to diagnose illnesses. It was known to determine life and death at just a glance.The Jennings family lineage could n be traced back to the Magpie during ancient times when Hacniane was at war.Modern people associated the Magpie with a person. However, according to legends passed down through generations of the Jennings family, the Magpie was actually a feathered garment that resembled a bird-headed person, from which the Magpie's name originated.The Magpie's historical records spanned hundreds of years, representing various individuals from different periods.Only those who had opened their Clairvoyant Eyes could be considered worthy of the garment.According to the ancient books left by Chad's ancestors, the garment was made from phoenix and caladrius feathers and was known as the Mystical Phoenix F
Zach and Ryan had arrived.Liam also joined them.Chad and the other two exited Chad's room when they noticed Esther angrily confronting the newcomers. "You decided to demolish Temple Road without consulting anyone. What will you do now that it has turned into such a mess?"In reality, they never expected it to turn out that way. However, the evidence they had was insufficient to prove that it was Lumigen's work, so Liam was still planning a secret investigation.Liam, the police chief, had yet to publicly announce the investigation's findings, despite their intention to do everything possible to eradicate evil.Zach had been explaining to Bloomington residents that the fire on Temple Road was an accident while serving as mayor.They had appeared to seek Meran's opinion on whether Temple Road's demolition could proceed.The other party clearly aimed for the seven places on Temple Road that could not be demolished.Once those so-called cultural heritage sites were reduced to ash
At such a critical moment, any problems on Temple Road would be suspected to be related to Lumigen.The fire had occurred, but the seven places that were supposed to be burned remained unharmed.It made Lumigen the main suspect in the arson. Fortunately, Ayo responded quickly, issuing a statement early in the morning to clarify their position.Lumigen would not be able to remain in Bloomington if the public's opinions were manipulated against them.Jojo was furious as well. She never expected the people Joe hired to be so unreliable that they could not even start a fire properly.Jojo even heard that many of the people Joe hired died in the fire, leaving only a few survivors.At that moment, Stanley walked in and said, "Right now, we shouldn't be focused on figuring out who is responsible. We need to look into accelerating the demolition of Temple Road. Our people and the city hall demolition team have already arrived. We plan to flatten Temple Road within a week while keeping th
Jojo was surprised that Matilda would be released so quickly, so she panicked.The ambulance left. Jojo quickly calmed down and said, "What's there to talk about? You want to know why I did it? Honestly, I wanted to tell you a long time ago that Bellenuite's success was entirely due to me. You're a naive fool who's only good for her signature!"Matilda had held out hope that the person who betrayed her was not Jojo.However, Jojo had just admitted it to her face!Jojo smiled proudly as she adjusted her clothes. "I meticulously orchestrated and arranged so many crimes against you so you would spend a few more years in prison. I can't believe you're already out after only one night. I'm curious. Who bailed you out?"It was Chad!Thinking back on what Sonya had said the night before, she was finally convinced that Chad had bailed her out.However, before Matilda could respond, Jojo made a guess. "Let me guess, it was Chad, right?! I can't believe that trash has the ability to do th
Jojo said nothing else, but Matilda already understood the situation.Bellenuite's shares were too dispersed. The Long family would gain control of the company if they could acquire more than 33 percent of the shares.Firemind Capital did not need to buy all of the shares outright. They simply needed to merge with the investment firms that owned Bellenuite's shares.However, without the 15 percent, the Long family would not have been able to accumulate as many shares.Matilda's divorce from Chad, as well as her parents' and brother's sale of the shares, enabled the Long family to gain control of Bellenuite.It eventually led to Matilda being forced out of the company!Jojo was overjoyed as she looked at Matilda, who was stunned and standing still.She even boasted, saying, "You still have 20 percent in your hands. I won't mistreat you. Sell it to me for 70 million."Matilda looked at Jojo angrily and said, "When Bellenuite goes public, these shares will be worth at least four t
"Matilda, marry me! Then you'll be a member of the Long family, and you can reclaim Bellenuite!"Nathan stopped Matilda and pleaded desperately.He had a feeling Matilda would agree to marry him right then and there in order to reclaim Bellenuite.If she married Nathan, the Long family would begin to value Nathan again because Matilda founded Bellenuite.That way, Nathan would rejoin the family's inner circle, and Matilda would be able to reclaim control of Bellenuite.However, Matilda declined Nathan's proposal. "I will not marry you. I want to reclaim my Bellenuite Group with dignity!"Matilda, who had built Bellenuite from the ground up, was uninterested in Nathan, who acted arrogantly due to his family's influence.Chad watched them from a distance. At that moment, a Roggan disciple approached him and pulled out a phone."Chief, we secretly followed Ms. Sachs and captured this!"Matilda might not have taken any videos or recordings, but the Roggan disciples who were secret
"Yes!"Chad did not explain and simply answered affirmatively.Matilda did not press the issue either; it was a tacit understanding they had developed over time.Matilda changed the subject. She said, "I want to start a new business. I'll no longer do cosmetics. Instead, I intend to pursue a career in beauty."She took out a card. "I've been busy studying and managed to obtain a special qualification as a top-level beautician. I can't believe it will be useful now."Chad did not say anything. Instead, he meticulously cleaned the room until it was two. Then, he was prepared to leave.Matilda could no longer hold back. She threw herself into Chad's arms and asked, "Can't you stay?"Chad wanted to stay, but he could not because it was too dangerous.After the Mystic Pavilion reopened, their long-dormant enemies would undoubtedly seek out Chad."Rest well. Best wishes for your new venture."In reality, Chad wanted to say that he would return to her once he had eliminated all dang
