After Charlie Jr left Madame Agnes' mansion, Butler Mark reported his visitation the moment Madame Agnes was alone. "I know, I also received a call from Galaxy City, he went to visit his father," Madame Agnes said in an even tone, she was a bit tired. Butler Mark suggested "Won't it be better if they know they are all brothers" Madame Agnes shook her head, and retorted "It won't change anything, just make sure they don't kill each other, there is no harm if they experience a bit of hardship" Butler Mark didn't have a contrary opinion since Madame Agnes have made her decision, he naturally agreed. ****** Margret was filled with excitement as she made her last-minute preparations for work. Jing Entertainment had just made a major acquisition, signing six immensely popular artists and a global celebrity. This move had boosted the company's capital to an impressive one billion dollars, placing it on equal footing with other major players in the entertainment industry. Margret was con
As Mr. Jones and his entourage approached, Margaret's pupils dilated while Daniel trembled with fear. Margaret confronted Mr. Jones with anger, "Jones, what brings you here?" Ignoring her, Mr. Jones turned to Mrs. Owen with a fawning smile and asked, "Mother-in-law, what's going on? Why are you all here in the hospital?" Brenda discreetly tugged on her mother's shirt and gave her a wink. Mrs. Owen's sullen expression transformed into a beaming smile as she replied, "Mr. Jones, my husband has been admitted to the hospital, that's why we're here." Mr. Jones frowned and inquired, "What happened to my father-in-law?" Daniel flew into a rage and shouted at Mr. Jones, "Who do you think you're calling father-in-law?"Mr. Jones' face darkened as he glanced at Daniel and recognized him. "Oh, you're the brat who came to challenge me in my company the other day. It seems you're doing fine now," he said in a threatening voice. Daniel's gaze darted around in fear, and Brenda's face turned pale.
Chapter 64: Who Will Dare Snatch Me From My Mom?Margret steeled herself, took a deep breath, and approached the building. Four burly security men conducted a routine search on her before allowing her to enter. Upon reaching the reception area, she was greeted by a professional-looking receptionist."Hello, miss. May I have your name and who you're here to see?" the receptionist asked politely.Margret remained calm despite her frustration and replied, "I'm here to see Charlie Jr."The receptionist's expression changed suddenly, and she looked at Margret with disdain, wondering why an older woman like Margret would be interested in seeing someone as young as Charlie Jr.Margret sensed the receptionist's judgment and tried to clear the air. "It's not what you think. I'm here to discuss a business proposal with him."The receptionist blushed in embarrassment and quickly recovered her composure. "I'm sorry, miss. But do you have a letter of invitation from President Charlie Jr.?" she aske
Mr Owen lost his temper and lashed out at Caleb "Little bastard, shut up! how can you interrupt adults when they are talking? don't you have manners?" Margret glared at her father ferociously, she yelled at him furiously "Get out! I am ashamed to call you my father" Mr Owen shot a glare and spat out four words "You will regret it", before walking out of the living room, he slammed the door loudly, loud enough to make the door quake. Margret turned to Caleb glaring at him, Caleb shrunk his head and smiled sheepishly. "Caleb, don't do this again" she warned sternly, Caleb didn't dare say a word, he pursed his lips defiantly. Margret turned around and returned to her room. The atmosphere in Houston was electric as news of Bliss, a popular celebrity whose romantic fate was to be decided in court that day, spread like wildfire across the internet. It was the talk of the town. Margret's determination was palpable as she tightly clenched her fists. "Mom, where are we headed?" Caleb as
Margret strode into the courtroom with Caleb in her arms, her gaze determined as she averted her eyes. Charlie Jr's heart skipped a beat as he felt an indescribable emotion surge within him when Margret looked at him. Despite the conflicting feelings, he composed himself and followed her into the courtroom. ***** Charlie Sr's eyes narrowed as he studied the screen, his expression growing darker by the second. Without warning, he leapt to his feet and strode purposefully towards the exit. The chief security officer stepped forward, blocking his path. "I apologize, Sir Charlie Sr, but I cannot allow you to leave the premises. Madame Agnes has given strict instructions." Charlie Sr's fists clenched in anger. He had heard enough. "Get out of my way!" he roared, his voice echoing through the room as he tried to push past the officer. But the chief security officer stood firm, apologizing once again. "I'm sorry, Sir Charlie Sr, but I must disobey you on this matter." Charlie Sr was se
Mr. Jones was taken aback as he shuddered, feeling his heart jolt and beads of sweat form on his forehead. He attempted to apologize to Butler Mark, but his mouth opened and closed several times without producing any words before the call ended abruptly. As he tried to compose himself, Mr. Jones was startled by a voice calling his name. He stumbled and fell to the ground, disoriented. Charlie Jr. appeared before him, looking down with disdain, and spoke with a threatening tone, "My father's last wish was that you leave Houston before dawn tomorrow, and I intend to make sure that happens." Mr. Jones quivered and nodded in agreement, too afraid to utter any words that might contradict Charlie Jr.'s orders. With that, Charlie Jr. and his group departed, swiftly entering their cars and following the ambulance that was speeding towards the hospital.Upon their arrival at the hospital, Charlie Sr was promptly escorted to the emergency ward - a designated area reserved exclusively for Hous
As Charlie Jr witnessed the disturbing scene before him, he couldn't help but feel enraged. The loud commotion had attracted his attention, and upon seeing the palm print on Margret's face, his heart sank with indescribable pain. Chloe quickly took advantage of the situation and sent a text message from her phone, her eyes reddening and filling with tears. She lied shamelessly, claiming that Margret had bullied her and attacked both her and the guards. "Junior, you have to seek justice for me," she pleaded. Charlie Jr's expression hardened as he turned to Margret, who stood silently without uttering a word. Chloe clung to him, her tears flowing as she begged for his help. As the elevator doors opened, seven burly men emerged. It was clear from their demeanor that they were Chloe's underlings, ready to do her bidding without question.Chloe's expression faltered as she watched Charlie Jr's disappointment. "Madam, who should we deal with?" the ruffian leader asked, oblivious to the t
Chloe approached Charlie Sr's bedside with a heavy heart, feeling resigned to the fact that he would never reciprocate her feelings. As she reached for his oxygen mask, the door suddenly creaked open, causing her to quickly retract her arm. She looked up to see Charlie Jr entering the room. "Mom, it's late. You should go home and get some rest. I'll stay here with Dad," Charlie Jr said gently. Chloe approached Charlie Sr's bedside with a heavy heart, knowing deep down that her feelings for him would never be reciprocated. As she reached for his oxygen mask, the door creaked open, causing her to startle and withdraw her arm. Looking up, she saw Charlie Jr entering the room. "Mom, it's late. You should go home and rest. I'll stay here with Dad," Charlie Jr said kindly. Chloe felt a surge of anger towards Charlie Jr, but she forced a smile and replied, "Okay, take care of yourself too." After bidding her goodnight, Charlie Jr settled in to stay with his father. Chloe left the hospita
"Stop him!" Chloe commanded her men.Despite his valiant efforts in exchanging blows, Charlie Jr. was unable to force his way through and was kicked back. As Chloe's men continued to charge forward in overwhelming numbers, Charlie Jr. fought his way out of the room, growing increasingly fatigued.However, when Chloe's men grabbed hold of him, Charlie Jr. desperately struggled to break free, his chest rising and falling with exertion. Despite his fierce resistance, the grip on him proved too strong to overcome.Chloe looked at him condescendingly as she sneered, "Junior, amongst your brothers, you are the most foolish; who are you to make me work for you?""Boss, the helicopter has taken off," one of Chloe's underlinings informed her.A huge smile appeared on Chloe's face, and she said with a tone and gesture of generosity, "You may let him since he wants to watch his lover explode."As soon as Charlie Jr. was released, he appeared to lose his mind. He repeatedly muttered Stella's name
Stella's lips twitched at the sight of Celestine's dismissive attitude. She hadn't expected him to treat her like a nuisance. "That's hardly a welcome," she retorted, rolling her eyes.Realizing his mistake, Celestine tried to make amends. "I'm sorry," he said in a calmer tone. "Please, take a seat."Stella nodded and sat down, but Celestine remained silent, unsure of what to say to her.After five minutes of awkward silence, Stella grew impatient. "Are you going to say anything?" she asked.Celestine shook his head. "I don't know what to say," he admitted.Stella's frustration boiled over. "How can you be silent now?" she exclaimed. "You promised to be with me forever. You promised to marry me. And what about our vows in the field that day? Were they all meaningless to you?"As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, and her anger turned to hurt.As soon as Celestine remembered who Stella was, his expression changed dramatically. He hung his head low and apologized, "I am sorry."St
Stella's mom initially thought that Charlie Jr. and Caleb wanting to marry her daughter would be good news. However, her joy turned into despair when she realized that Stella was caught in the middle of three brothers."Follow your heart, Stella," her mother said, shaking her head. "I cannot make any definitive statements about this matter because your partner is someone you will be spending the rest of your life with."Stella furrowed her eyebrows as she contemplated her options, deep in thought.****Charlie Jr. drove aimlessly around the city, his mind in turmoil after leaving the bar. Eventually, he found himself at the field where Stella had taken him before. As he sat alone, he gazed up at the moon, his heart heavy with longing for her."I wish you were here with me, Stella," he murmured, his voice soft. "I know you want me to move on, but I can't. I just can't."After a while, he stood up and made his way back to his car, his thoughts still consumed by his feelings for Stella.
Stella was torn. She knew that if she didn't act, the situation would only get worse, and she couldn't bear the thought of things spiralling out of control. Summoning up her courage, she took a deep breath and spoke firmly."Charlie Jr., I have to be honest with you. I'm in love with someone else, and I don't think I'm the right person for you," she said, her tone serious.Charlie Jr. shook his head and replied, "It doesn't matter who he is. I love you, and I won't stop loving you. My feelings for you won't change."With that, he got up and walked away, leaving Stella to watch his departing figure with a complicated mix of emotions.As Charlie Jr. exited the bar, he spotted Caleb seated atop his car's bonnet, smoking. The two locked gazes, and Caleb extinguished his cigarette before standing up."Why do you persist when she's made it clear?" Caleb asked, his tone frosty."Her rejection doesn't change my feelings or my desire to pursue her," Charlie Jr. retorted, his own tone equally c
Celestine's expression turned grave, and he whispered, "Isn't that considered treason?"Madame Agnes affirmed, "Yes, but that's not our concern right now. Your task is to intercept the mercenaries and safely escort the X country minister to Houston.""When do we depart?" Celestine inquired, turning to Butler Mark."Right away. We need to set up an ambush," Butler Mark replied."I'm ready," Celestine declared, and Butler Mark turned to leave."Wait," Madame Agnes called out to Celestine, causing him to pause. She looked at him with a serious expression. "Your safety is of utmost importance."Celestine smiled reassuringly and answered, "Don't worry, Mother. Nothing will happen to me."Madame Agnes nodded, watching as Celestine followed Butler Mark out of the house.As they left, Madame Agnes felt a sense of unease. She knew those mercenaries were ruthless and willing to sacrifice themselves for little gain."He'll be alright," she murmured, trying to ease her worries.****After finishi
"Tell me about yourself and your brother, Celestine," Stella inquired of Caleb.Caleb let out a sigh, unsure of how to feel about the situation. He couldn't help but wonder if Stella had known the truth all along - that he and Celestine had been acting as one person while he was pursuing her. "Let's find someplace quiet," he suggested to Stella, who nodded in agreement. They left the mansion and got into Caleb's car.Meanwhile, Charlie Jr. stood outside, watching them drive away with a cold expression and clenched fists. He was infuriated by what had just transpired.Caleb drove them into the busy city, eventually pulling over at a peaceful location. They got out of the car and settled down."I'm sorry for deceiving you," Caleb said apologetically, "I know you must have found out everything. I was young and foolish."Stella's heart skipped a beat. She had suspected the truth, but hearing it from Caleb made her realize that she had never truly been in love with him. Instead, her feeli
The atmosphere was tranquil, and the soothing notes of the piano filled the air. All present were entranced by Celestine's performance, and not a single person dared to disrupt the spell he had cast. As he played the final note, the sound faded away, leaving fifteen seconds of absolute silence. The audience remained lost in the music's beauty, not wanting to shatter the enchantment.Suddenly, applause erupted, but no one knew who had started it. It quickly spread, and everyone joined in, clapping with enthusiasm. Stella glanced at Caleb, who was silently berating his luck. How could he compete with Charlie Jr. and Celestine for a woman's affections? The situation was a tragedy.Stella turned to Caleb and asked, "You know how to play, right?" His heart sank as he had used Celestine's musical talents to impress Stella before. Trying to maintain a serious expression, he responded, "Of course."Stella was surprised but pleased to hear this. She hadn't expected Caleb to know how to play th
Celestine paused his flute playing and turned to face the figure before him. He was momentarily stunned by Stella's beauty, feeling as though she was the most exquisite lady he had ever laid eyes upon. The fireflies dancing around her only added to her charm, making her utterly irresistible.Furrowing his eyebrows, Celestine tried to place where he had seen this face before. There was something familiar about it that he couldn't quite grasp.Similarly, Stella stood frozen, her heart racing as she felt a different kind of connection with this person who resembled Caleb but possessed a refined handsomeness that even surpassed that of his brothers. As she gazed at him, she couldn't help but wonder if he was one of the triplets. But why did she feel such a strong and unique attraction towards him? Her thoughts became muddled and chaotic.Celestine furrowed his eyebrows in confusion as he looked at the beautiful lady in front of him. "Who are you? Do we know each other?" he asked, feeling
Caleb approached Stella with a happy expression, but she was in a daze as she stared at him. To her surprise, they looked exactly alike. Suddenly, a painful memory came flooding back to her when she met Charlie Jr. at the hospital years ago, and he didn't remember her."Stella, do you still remember me?" Caleb asked eagerly as he approached her.Just then, Charlie Jr. coughed, interrupting them. "Hey bro, this is my wife Stella," he said.Caleb's expression darkened as he looked at Charlie Jr. and then turned back to Stella. "What happened? You promised to wait for me," he said, his tone full of confusion and hurt.Stella's heart trembled as she struggled to understand what was happening. She quickly asked the first question that came to mind. "And what is your name?" she asked Caleb.Caleb furrowed his eyebrows, taken aback by her question. He hesitated for a moment before responding, "It's me, Caleb. Don't you remember me?"Stella's face showed evident shock as she looked back and f
