"But Dad, you—""That's enough. Say no more. Since he dares to act this way, he needs a lesson to remind him that the Lennons and Lennon Group can manage perfectly well without him," Xylos declared, turning to Jack."Jack, tomorrow, I want you to step in and take over Peter's responsibilities at the company. And Jamie… You're to assist Jack. Understood?""I…" Jamie began, but Ari shot him a look. "Thank you, Grandpa. Jamie has been working hard recently and will fully support Uncle Jack so that he can adjust quickly to Lennon Group's operations."Though Jamie was not thrilled about it, he knew what to say in situations like these and what to hold back. He disliked Jack, but he disliked Peter even more.The idea of Peter being dismissed gave Jamie some satisfaction. He had spent considerable time at Lennon Group, yet he was always overshadowed by Peter—a fact that left him deeply unsettled.Meanwhile, Ari's gaze remained fixed on Jack. She was unable to look away. Frustrated,

"It's good that you understand," Xylos said, patting Jack's hand. "I'm tired. It's been a while since you've been back, so go get some rest. I had the butler prepare your room.""Alright. You take care and rest well."After Jack left, Lance entered to give Xylos his medicine but hesitated.Xylos glanced at him. "You want to ask why I sidelined Peter, don't you?"Lance froze, saying, "I wouldn't dare."Xylos let out a cold laugh. "Peter is too headstrong. If I don't keep him in check, he could end up taking all control over Lennon Group. He… Well, he certainly is a capable leader.""Then why not allow Mr. Peter to inherit the Lennons' legacy? The head of the Lennons has always been someone exceptional, and Mr. Peter… He'd surely expand Lennon Group and elevate the Lennons' name."Xylos sighed deeply. "Yes, but his methods are ruthless. With him in charge, Jack and Jamie wouldn't stand a chance."Shaking his head, he added, "There's no point explaining further. I just hope Jack c

"You've anticipated this? What do you mean?" Tania did not understand. "Why say that?""In short, even if it weren't because of you, the Lennons would've done this sooner or later. Lennon Group has long been unable to tolerate me, and I… never really wanted anything from Lennon Group." Peter said this as he guided Tania to sit down. "Where's Brandon?""Downstairs. Zara adores him," Tania replied, glancing at Peter and noticing the soft smile on his face whenever he mentioned Brandon. "Peter, you…""What?"Tania snapped out of it and shook her head. "It's nothing. It's late. I should take Brandon home."Peter pursed his lips, clearly displeased. Yet after looking at her, he finally nodded. "I'll drive you both back, then.""There's no need.""You don't have a car, and Five Elements Residence is quite far from Phoenix Tree Residence." Without giving Tania a chance to refuse, Peter stood up, grabbed his coat, and said, "Let's go. I'll drive you.""Alright. Thanks for the help."

Tania initially intended to follow Peter upstairs, but Noelle quickly held her hand. "Tania, come sit with me!""But Brandon…""Peter can take care of Brandon. Come sit down. I wanted to ask you about your trip to the hospital today."Reluctantly, Tania watched Peter carry Brandon upstairs. Charles shot a long look at Noelle, shook his head, and then followed Peter up.Peter undressed Brandon and took him to the bathroom to clean him up. When he emerged, he noticed Charles waiting there with an amused look on his face.Peter frowned slightly. "Need something?"With his arms crossed, Charles leaned against the wall, observing Peter in full dad mode. "I never thought I'd see you like this."Peter cast an indifferent glance at him. "You're just jealous."Charles raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor denying. "What happened today? Let's hear it."Peter was quiet for a moment before saying, "Jack's back. What else could it be?" He placed Brandon on the bed, tucked him in, and mot

The sudden change in senior management, particularly Peter's ousting, left the company in disarray. After all, Peter was essentially the backbone of Lennon Group.Since the storm nearly seven or eight years ago, Lennon Group had not faced such turmoil.Peter's entry had brought in a wealth of fresh talent, all of whom were closely tied to him. Now, with Peter abruptly sidelined, those who remained felt uneasy. Many even resigned outright while others stayed but lost interest in their work.Lennon Group plunged into turmoil. Even with Jack's competence, he could not control the employees loyal to Peter. To make matters worse, several companies paused their collaborations with Lennon Group, seeking a formal explanation amidst the chaos.This created a deepening sense of unrest within the company. Though Jack had anticipated some difficulties, he found himself unprepared for the scale of this challenge.Jamie, who previously worked on smaller projects, had never witnessed such a majo

"Zara," Jennifer greeted with a smile, glancing inside. "Where's my brother?""You have bad timing, Ms. Jennifer. Mr. Peter just left," Zara replied."Left? Where did he go?" Jennifer's face showed disappointment. "I thought he'd be home since he's no longer working at Lennon Group.""Please come in and sit," Zara offered."No, since he's not here, I'll just go.""Wait, Ms. Jennifer!" Zara called out. "Mr. Peter went to see Ms. Tania and Brandon.""Tania?" Jennifer hesitated, recalling the scene at the Lennon residence when Tania stood up to Xylos. She sighed softly. "Do you know where they are?""They're at the hospital. Ms. Tania's mother is sick, and Mr. Peter had me prepare some soup to bring over. If you need to see him urgently, he'll surely be there."…Peter went straight to the hospital, where Tania and Brandon were keeping Nancy company with Henry nearby.Standing outside, Peter watched them with a look of relief crossing his face.Brandon, with his sharp eyes, not

Henry scoffed coldly, "Anyone can talk a good game. I want to see what you do.""Yes, I'll prove to you that I'm the best choice for Tania," Peter replied calmly, handing a bowl of soup to Henry. "Both of you should try this."Henry finally nodded in satisfaction.…Meanwhile, Lennon Group's share price plummeted sharply due to Peter's departure, as if someone had anticipated it.Within days, shares were scooped up in large quantities by a company from Cascade City, which even managed to acquire shares from some of the more casual shareholders.Back at the Lennon residence, a storm was brewing. Xylos, poring over the recent reports from Lennon Group, was trembling with anger. "Investigate! Find out what this company is and how it's operating in Brookville without me knowing.""Great-Grandpa, it's not a company from Brookville," Jamie clarified."Where are they based?""Cascade City!"Xylos was shocked. "Cascade City? Are you saying this company is based there?" He could not b

At the hospital, Peter glanced at Sean, who was busy working in his office. "When are you planning to stop?""You think I don't want to?" Sean shot him a look. "You may be free as a bird now, but I've still got work to do, and I'm dedicated to it."Peter scoffed, tapping his long fingers on the desk. "Dedicated? If you're a model employee, all other employees must've vanished.""Hey!" Sean could not take the insult. "Don't question my work ethic."He tossed his pen down and looked at Peter with a serious expression. "If you've got something to say, spit it out. I'm busy. I have no time to babysit you.""Fine. Has Brandon's test report come out?""Damn!" Sean's eyes widened as he suddenly remembered. "I almost forgot about that! Here it is."Sean quickly handed over the report, and Peter's brows knitted together. He fixed Sean with a hard look that made Sean shiver. "Hey, it's not my fault. I've been tied up with a bunch of tough surgeries lately. Plus, I've been running tests

Liliana's piercing scream echoed through the empty underground parking lot. However, there was no one to hear her and no one to witness what was happening to her at that moment. No one knew that this was the beginning of her personal hell.Her voice broke as she gasped for air, her hands desperately pounding against Sean's back as she tried to push him away. However, he only held her tighter.Her fragile body was trapped beneath him, moving in rhythm with his relentless force. She had no idea when it would end.Sean, lost in his own haze, was consumed by the warmth surrounding him. The way her body clenched around him only drove him further into his intoxicated madness. It was not until Liliana's voice had gone completely hoarse that he finally reached his release.Liliana blacked out from exhaustion, and eventually, Sean, too, drifted into a deep sleep while still holding onto her.The night had descended upon her so suddenly, like a storm Liliana never saw coming.When Liliana

The distance was not far, but dragging Sean along had drained nearly all of Liliana's strength. She panted, struggling to keep him upright. "Sean, where are we supposed to go now?"The only response she got was a muffled groan. His body temperature seemed to be rising by the second.Liliana, already struggling under his weight, instinctively reached out and touched his face, only to find it scorching hot. Panic gripped her."Sean!"With no other options, she half-carried, half-dragged him toward the parking lot and finally located his car. Summoning every ounce of strength, she managed to haul him inside, planning to let him sleep it off until he sobered up.After securing him in the seat, she grabbed a bottle of water and began wiping his face. Just as she was about to relax, Sean, who had been completely still moments ago, suddenly stirred.He half-opened his eyes, his gaze locking on Liliana's face. Under the dim car light, her features appeared softer, more delicate.Then, o

"No, we can't stay. Let's go separately. I'll walk you to the entrance!"Liliana told Tania that her family had forbidden her from coming to places like this. She hailed a cab and sent Tania off first.She returned alone, but she had no idea which private room Sean was in. She only knew it was somewhere on the third floor, but the exact location was a mystery.As she anxiously searched for him, she spotted one of Sean's friends coming down the stairs with Joanna following closely behind.At the staircase, Joanna stopped to bid farewell. "Thank you, dude… I…""Go on! Good luck!"The man glanced at Joanna before brushing past Liliana and leaving.Liliana watched Joanna's retreating figure, then saw her head back upstairs. She followed her without hesitation.The server must have assumed she was with Joanna because he did not stop her.Liliana saw Joanna enter a private room, where only Sean and Joanna remained. The others were nowhere to be seen.Peering through the gap in the

"Huh? I'm not outside right now!" Liliana quickly covered the phone's mouthpiece. "I mean... I'm at a classmate's house. Is there something you need, Sean?"She asked the question while glancing nervously around. Spotting Tania trying to slip away, she hurried over to grab her."Tania...""Liliana, I still want more to drink!""Where are you?" Sean's voice came through, and another girl's voice was in the background. "Are you guys drinking?""I...""Do you realize you're not old enough to drink? And it's so late now. You should be at home, not out drinking!" Sean sounded serious, and Liliana almost lost her cool. "No, Sean, I...""Where are you? I'm coming to get you!"Liliana quickly shook her head, even though Sean could not see. "There’s no need for that, Sean. I'm just at a friend's house. She's... She's having a birthday party, and I...""Another birthday party? Didn't she just have one?" Sean remembered clearly. "Tell me where you are.""I... Sean, I've got to go. I can

He took everything one step at a time.Many people did not know that Sean was not just thinking about where to do his hospital residency.

Tania's ruckus drew the attention of several onlookers.Worried about bumping into someone they knew, Liliana quickly ushered Tania away. They had barely made it to the staircase when a melodious voice floated in from behind, "Sean, we owe our fun at The Majestic Lounge to your popularity!""There's no need for that!"Liliana froze, steadying Tania with one hand and leaning on the wall with the other, using Tania's body as a shield. That was when she spotted Sean with an elegant-looking girl in a pale pink dress.They appeared quite close, the girl chatting away and gazing at Sean.Sean was leaning in, listening intently to her words.A few guys were trailing behind them, and upon hearing the girl, they joked, "Hey Joanna, why are you just thanking Sean? What about us?"Liliana's heart raced as Sean and his companions neared. As Sean approached, she quickly grabbed Tania's hand, using it to hide her face.Liliana’s sharp tug gave Tania a twinge of pain. She began to grumble, "L

Liliana got ready. She was excited as she headed out. She had not seen Tania, who looked tanned from the sun and was full of energy, in a month.Tania waved to Liliana from far away. "Liliana, over here!"I'm going to take you to a cool place today!""Where?"Tania pulled Liliana close and whispered, "We're going to a bar!""A bar?" Liliana was curious. "What for?"Tania giggled. "A friend gave me this.” She showed off a shiny gold card. "He said it's time for me to see more of the world!"Liliana grabbed the shiny gold card, and her eyes widened in shock. "The Majestic Lounge?" She stared at Tania, puzzled. "How did you get this?"Not just anyone could get their hands on a gold card from The Majestic Lounge. Most people would not know anything about the place, but as Charles's sister, Liliana was in the know. The Majestic Lounge was one of Charles's private businesses and a secret to most outside the family. Layla had a gold card and often hung out there with her friends.Lil

Charles was unusually quiet for a moment, his finger pressed to his lips as if deep in thought. "Are you really ready to walk away from the Smith family's huge estate? You know your dad is the only one holding it up right now, and no one even knows where your fourth uncle is!""Why are you so worried about me? Don't forget I have a brother. If the Jones family won't make room for him, he can just join the Smith family!"While everyone else was trying to claim their piece of the pie, Sean was looking for a way out.Charles knew that once Sean made up his mind, he would not budge. "Alright, I'll look into it for you. Once you're sure, I'll help you seal the deal!""You take care of it," Sean said after a pause. "Aren't you going to check out the commotion downstairs?"Charles glanced down, pulling back his gaze. "Her feelings for you...""Let's not go there. I can't handle that," Sean interrupted, thinking about Layla's haughty behavior earlier and her rudeness toward Liliana. His

Liliana's brow creased slightly. She could not figure out why Layla always seemed to pick fights with her, even though she tried to stay out of Layla's way.Layla stared at Liliana with a sharp gaze. Noticing Liliana's hands were empty, she knew there was no gift for her. That was why Layla was giving Liliana a hard time.Everyone was watching Liliana, and Layla was eager to see how she would handle the situation."Is today your birthday?"Liliana felt awkward with all eyes on her. She glanced at Sean and saw he was not going to step in. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know. You never told me, so I thought your birthday was a few days away!""You..." Layla was taken aback by Liliana's response. She scowled. "Didn't you come back just today before leaving again? I thought you were getting me a birthday present!" Layla bit her lip, looking sad. "You and Sean...""It was just a coincidence. Sean said he needed to talk to Charles, and I didn't realize it was for
