Colton felt something off from Surge's words.

Why does it feel like Surge knew the person clearly well?

For a moment, Colton had a bad premonition. However, this was only the life-saving straw he had right now. If it was another time, Colton would dig more thoroughly into this and not rush to make a decision.

Colton and the lawyer waited for an hour before Surge called again and connected them to the mysterious person.

There was a beep tone on the other line that indicated that the other party had joined the call. However, the other party did not speak.

Colton gave a look at the lawyer. The latter cleared his throat and started to speak,

"Good evening...."

There was no response. However, they knew that the other party was listening. The lawyer did not waste more time and started to introduce themselves and the purpose of their call.

At this moment, Surge suddenly interrupted.

"The boss said he will not be interested if you guys did not show your sincerity. Colton, you clearly have

    Colton was dumbfounded. "Impossible! He had only woken up half a year ago. How could he amass so much resources and power in a short time? He lost everything three years ago, there is no way he could get recover his connections so fast and be more powerful than his former self."Colton would never believe and accept that Javier was that mysterious person. Although his thumping heart was starting to believe it, his conceited mind rejected that idea.He could not accept it...If he accepted it, it was the same as admitting that his son was superior to him. That he was cornered and put in such a miserable situation due to the scheme of his son.The lawyer closed his eyes. It was obvious that Javier was the mysterious person after thinking it through. Just by Surge's strange reaction that day, Javier was indeed that person."...How about we beg for mercy? You are still his biological father. And the eldest young master I know is kind and has a forgiving heart."Javier was capable, intell

    After the strenuous activity, the couple took a hot bath together.In the bathtub, Javier hugged Suzie's waist while Suzie leaned on his chest. The fog rising from the water made their figures hazy. Their naked bodies were submerged under the clear water."What do you plan now? Are you going to take over the family head position?" Suzie was paying attention to any news regarding Javier.She had learned from Jonathan that things were now chaotic in the family and in the business empire. Both were needing Javier.Javier put his chin on Suzie's shoulders. "Actually, I just want to bring you away from all of this and live a happy life with you. Taking over those positions will make me busier. Furthermore, I don't like those elders who stand by and just watched while I was thrown into the cabin. Nor do I want to take care of those greedy shareholders. The family and the company can go to hell for all I care."Suzie kneaded his long jaded fingers as she listened to him. Her heart ache for

They handed him the head position as if they had been waiting for his return.In one of the Albretch villas in the capital, the bright music and expensive decorations lighted up the whole place. Many families who were friends with the Albretchs came to give respect to the family head and welcome him on his return.No one discussed how the family abandoned Javier. They smiled and fawned at him as if the past had been long buried in their memories.Several old men surrounded Javier as they toasted to him, "Heaven truly blesses our family. The rightful family head finally returned. Without you, this family will crumble.""We are a bunch of old men and we don't have the vigor of young people like you. This position is rightfully yours.""If Colton is not so greedy as to take the power from your hands, our family would

    Living in the villa by the sea was like a dream. The sound of the waves was like a lullaby and the ocean breeze lulled people to sleep. With her husband by her side, Suzie was able to sleep well. She slept until noon.She was woken up by a warm kiss and a tender voice, "Wake up, wife. You have to eat first then you can go back sleeping later." Javier gently coaxed Suzie. Suzie hugged his neck with her eyes closed, "Just a little bit more."Javier felt heartache for her. He must have worried her too much that his wife wasn't able to get enough sleep in the past week. And he was too passionate last night. It must have exhausted his wife. So he did not wake her up until noon. However, it was so late now. His wife's stomach might hurt later on if she continues to sleep on an empty stomach.Javier silently scolded himself as he patted Suzie in his embrace."Alright. I'll give you five minutes. But you must get up afterward. The food will get cold."Suzie snuggled on Javier's chest. S

Seeing the Eldest Master in flesh and blood, Jonathan was overwhelmed with emotion. Guilt, shame, happiness, and relief came at once.Javier nodded at Jonathan, "You are here."Jonathan was flustered. In the end, he could only bow his head and answer Javier like he usually does in the past."I returned to the Capital to take care of my father."Javier patted Jonathan's shoulder, "Raise your head. You did nothing against me.""That's what I am ashamed of Eldest Master," Jonathan said in shame. "For the three years you are trapped in the cabin and were mistreated, a

    Suzie smiled and kissed the twin's head. "Always remember that you two not only have us but you have each other. Keep looking out for each other like this as you two grow up, okay? Then Mommy will give you a lot of rewards." Hearing rewards, the two children's moods turned happy. "What rewards? Are we going to the ocean and dive with sharks?" "Are we going to fly in the air and meet Superman?" Suzie laughed. She really wished her children would never lose their innocence and their imagination towards the world. They could grow up strong and disciplined, but they should never lose their innocence toward life and their hope for the future. She would make sure of it. "Let me think about it." The two children talked about the rewards that were about to come while they held Suzie's hand. When Javier met them at the company's lobby, he could not help but smile at the scenery. The scenery of his wife and his two children laughing and smiling warmed up his heart. Life was full of ups a

    "Everyone, I appreciate your presence here. The reason behind gathering you all and convening this meeting on such short notice is to announce that my wife will be visiting." Tension hung in the air as Javier initiated the meeting. However, the revelation that followed left everyone in a state of surprise. Maintaining his composed demeanor, Javier continued, "Many of you had the opportunity to meet her at last year's opening ceremony. She expresses her regret that she couldn't personally greet each and every one of you on that occasion. My wife is a busy mother, her schedule is quite demanding. I kindly ask for your understanding in this regard." "Madame does not need to apologize." "Madame's kindness is truly remarkable. It's touching that she considers employees like us. We're genuinely grateful for her thoughtfulness." "There is no need to bother about us...." Those with a talent for flattery seized the opportunity to win favor. And their strategy proved effective.

    In the quiet embrace of dawn's gentle touch, the sea awoke from its slumber, its vast expanse stretching out as far as the eye could fathom. The horizon, adorned with hues of soft amethyst and pale rose, held a promise of the spectacle to come. A delicate, cool breeze carried the faint scent of salt and adventure, caressing the senses like a whispered secret. Suzie tiptoed out of the bedroom and washed her face downstairs. She then busied herself in the kitchen. It had been two weeks since the couple had stayed on the island, and there hadn't been a single day when Suzie woke up early to prepare breakfast. Partly because it was Javier's fault for keeping her up late, but whenever she did wake up, Javier had already cooked breakfast and cleaned the kitchen. Even the dishes were taken care of by Javier. There wasn't much else for Suzie to do but watch her handsome, gorgeous husband handle the chores. Suzie appreciated his efforts. However, she also wanted to showcase her cooking ski

    Suzie woke up, feeling an ache in her lower body. She opened her eyes and saw sunlight peeking in through the curtains.How long had it been since she was out?She slowly sat up straight and felt the stinging sensation again. She couldn't help but blame the man once more for being too fierce last night.It was as if the married couple had a connection; Javier appeared at the door, holding a warm glass of water.He looked surprised to see Suzie awake. He hurriedly walked in and handed her the water."You're awake. How do you feel?" Guilt and self-blame were evident on Javier's face. He knew that he had been too rough last night.Suzie wanted to scold him, but seeing him like this, her heart softened. Still, she glared at him. "You were indeed too rough last night."Javier gently helped Suzie to her feet. "I'm sorry. I lost control. Mrs. Zhou kept you away from me for three days—how could I not miss you?" Javier couldn't help but drag Mrs. Zhou into the conversation.Three days without

    "....so just look at me and don't be nervous." A voice sounded on the front, breaking the fight that was about to start. Ambassador Milliard and Uncle Surge had already arrived in front of the bride's waiting room. At the door, Javier was almost hugging the door as he spoke with a pitiful voice, "I really wanted to see you. I haven't seen you for three days. Mrs. Luo is too strict." "We will see each other in a few minutes. So go to the hall and wait for me. Let my makeup artists work in peace," Suzie's voice sounded from inside the room. "...Alright. I miss you so bad, wife." Ambassador Milliard: "...." Uncle Surge: "...." Fortunately, they were the only people here. If other guests happened to pass by, Javier's image would completely shift from that of a peerless young CEO to that of a lovestruck fool, simping for his wife. The door swung open, and Javier, who had been clinging to it, almost stumbled forward. Mrs. Luo emerged from the room and deliberately avoided him. "Jus

    Many people began talking about the couple again. Some were a bit regretful that the wedding of the century was not publicized on the TV. They could only get some news and updates from the social media of the guests.In a salon, a group of young misses were browsing their phones as they were getting pedicures.One of the young ladies saw the post and the discussion. She sat up straight in shock and the pedicurist almost ruined the nail polish she was applying on her toes."Wow! The whole island?! This is amazing! The island is so beautiful! I want to go there!" The young woman squealed. She glanced at the young woman at the far end of their group."Bianca, Mr. Albretch has gifted a very massive and beautiful island to your sister. We can go there, right?"Bianca was also browsing her phone. Even though she did not want to see the news about the wedding, everyone was talking about it and the photos from the island kept showing up on the hot search. She naturally saw this discussion.Wh

    The sun hung low in the sky. The sea, a vast mirror of shimmering azure, stretched as far as the eye could see, its waves whispering secrets to the shore. Glistening flecks of sunlight danced upon the water's surface, a prelude to the symphony of colors that was about to unfold.The gentle lull of the waves created a serene backdrop, a tranquil cadence that set the rhythm for the impending ceremony.Seagulls soared gracefully above, their calls mingling with the rustling of palm fronds swaying in the warm breeze. The air held a hint of salt, making people feel as if they were in the sea's embrace, welcoming all who had gathered to witness this union of souls.At the water's edge, a carefully crafted boarding ramp stood adorned with seashells and diaphanous fabrics that fluttered in harmony with the wind.

City Z's prison had the maximum security in the country where high-profiled criminals with heavy chargers were assigned to. Because of Colton's identity and the long list of his punishment, he was assigned to this place. "Inmate 1206, you have a visitor!" A correctional officer banged on a certain cell's door with his baton. A thin man stood up with a confused expression. He followed the correctional officer to the visiting area. When he saw the person through the partition glass, the thin man paused. The compliant look on his face shifted for a moment. Javier was sitting on the other side with a calm gaze. He pointed at the telephone beside the partition glass. The correctional officer pushed the thin man, "Inmate 1206, you only have fifteen minutes." The thin man had no choice but to sit. He hes
