Arnold called the attending doctor once more and said, "Doctor, it appears my daughter hasn't entirely lost her memory. She knows who he is!""Who is he?""He's my daughter's husband. They have filed for divorce and are currently in a cooling-off period.""I see."The attending doctor thought momentarily and then explained, "In my opinion, certain memories can be deeply ingrained and difficult to erase. Given that they are seeking a divorce, Ms. Seymour must have been resolute in her decision and determined to follow through, right?"Marion said, "Yes, my daughter couldn't wait to divorce him as soon as possible!""That's right, then. The matter of divorce is ingrained in Ms. Seymour's thoughts, and it holds great significance to her. It's a topic that she cannot forget easily, which explains why she still remembers the person she's in the process of divorcing. "Actually, this is good news. It's a breakthrough.""A breakthrough?""Yes. Next, we'll need this gentleman to assis
When they were back at the Seymour residence, Arnold said, "Gideon, stay here and keep Ella company. Do your best to help her regain her memory as quickly as possible."He held onto the hope that Gideon and Elara would reconcile. Wasn't this the perfect chance? Gideon could only nod in agreement, feeling powerless.Just then, the doorbell rang. Marion opened the door and started cursing, "You little bitch! How dare you show up here!"It turned out to be Kyla standing at the door.Marion pointed right at her nose and continued scolding, "Well, it's good that you're here. I haven't called the police yet. But you just wait. You'll be arrested soon!"Kyla retorted, "Aunt Marion, please stop speaking nonsense! Ella's fall had nothing to do with me." "How dare you try to argue!""I'm not arguing. I'm stating the facts. Unless you have proof that I caused Ella's fall, your accusations are baseless!"Marion was left speechless. Evidence? There was no evidence!If Elara hadn't lost
"Come on. Our daughter has grown up. Sometimes, she needs to make her own decisions and face those challenges alone. It's not our place as parents to constantly intervene."Remember when we got married? There were many obstacles, like your mother disapproving of me and wanting you to marry into a wealthy family. I was just like how Gideon is now. I hope you can give him a chance," Arnold said.Surprisingly, these words had some effect. Marion's expression softened, as if she were recalling the rough times she and Arnold had gone through in the past.Arnold took a seat and wrapped his arms around Marion. "Dear, please listen to me this time," he said earnestly.Marion didn't respond. Instead, she changed the topic and said, "There's only one week left until Mom's birthday. I need to go back to their house."Arnold's face turned solemn."Are you going?""Of course, I'm going!" Arnold nodded."Despite the inevitable nagging I'd receive every time I visit, she's still my mother-i
"Ms. Trott, the Carter family is all set. We just need the funding. When will Ms. Avila decide to invest?" Matthew got the message from Maggie and rushed over right away."Today, and as we discussed, a one-time payment of one billion dollars."Matthew's head was spinning. One billion dollars! Oh, my God! It really was one billion dollars! He was rich!Matthew tried to keep his excitement in check and not lose his composure, his face turning bright red.He said, "Please thank Ms. Avila for her trust. I won't let her down!"Maggie said, "Before we proceed, we need to sign a contract. Could you please take a look at it?"Matthew's mind was preoccupied with the thought of money, so he wasn't in the mood to read any contract.Maggie continued, "It would be best if you could review it to avoid any misunderstandings in the future. Since we are making a full investment, Avila Group will hold 90% of the shares in your new company, making us the majority shareholder with a veto right."
Jacob's eyes widened. "Could it be… 100 million dollars?""100 million dollars? Multiply that by ten." Matthew laughed."What?" Jacob's eyes sprang wide open. He swung his hand and delivered a stinging slap."I'll teach you a lesson for spouting such nonsense. And don't you think you're blabbing like it's a simple joke! This is one billion dollars, not a measly one hundred dollars.""Ouch!" Matthew clutched his face, grimacing in pain.Brad quickly helped Matthew to his feet and asked, "Matt, are you okay?"Then, he turned around and glared at Jacob, shouting, "What's wrong with you? How can you act so rashly and lose control like that?""Uncle Brad, this brat…""Shut up!" Brad snapped.He patted Matthew's shoulder and said seriously, "Matthew, I believe in you."Matthew was moved to tears.His phone suddenly beeped, signaling a new message.He eagerly opened it and couldn't contain his joy. He exclaimed, "It's here! Avila Group has transferred the money. One billion dollar
Rachel, despite her young age, managed the Avila family. With an impressive investment of five billion dollars, she was confident that within just two or three years, she would transform Avila Group into a trillion-dollar powerhouse.In Dasovia, very few 25-year-old financial leaders had such high aspirations and remarkable capabilities.A man had to be exceptional in order to win over Rachel. Gideon, in Rachel's eyes, was exactly that perfect candidate. Even though Rachel didn't know Gideon's true identity, it didn't matter to her.Gideon had already demonstrated significant power, enough to cause ripples throughout the entire Dasovia.Rachel already realized that the recent turmoil in Goldspire was due to Gideon's actions.The respected Cabinet Elders of Dasovia, who held the highest positions of power and were the nation's key decision-makers, second only to the highest authority, even paid Gideon a visit.Rachel wouldn't allow anyone to take Gideon away from her."Maggie, I
Elara asked, "Why can't I call you 'darling'? Aren't we married? We'll be sharing a bed every night, after all.""Huh?" Gideon was shocked. He quickly backed away. "Uh, I have some stuff to do. I'll catch you later."Elara pounced and grabbed Gideon's arm. "No way you're getting away from me!""Please, just listen to me…""Absolutely not! We are married, and as such, we should share a bed. Darling, do you no longer love me?" Tears welled up in Elara's eyes.Gideon felt like crying. What did he do to deserve this? At one point, he suspected that Elara's memory loss might be an act, but now, it seemed impossible. How could it be fake when they were going to sleep together?The door at the end of the hallway was ajar. Kyla watched everything with furrowed brows. "Is it possible that Elara has truly lost her memory? Damn it! This is going to be a difficult situation. Gideon is completely vulnerable to her now. I don't stand a chance.""Don't leave yet, Gideon. Let's have a drink tog
Adrian's thought was actually right, and it made sense. To most girls, he was someone to look up to and admire. But unfortunately for him, he had met Rachel. As a woman who had once been with a lion, she was not easily impressed by a mere leopard or jackal. Gideon was the lion, whereas Adrian was merely a jackal. There was a significant difference between them.In the past, if Gideon hadn't been in the picture, Rachel might have been kind to Adrian and possibly formed a bond with him. This could have resulted in a collaboration with the Linc family.Now, she couldn't have cared less. She had the confidence and never needed to worry about the Linc family in the slightest.Furthermore, Rachel was already angry since Gideon had failed to show up. She snapped impatiently, "Just go away and don't bother me!""Huh?" Adrian's expression became tense.His subordinates were angry in an instant.This was the first time! They had never seen a woman treat Adrian with such indifference befo
"Lav, this is truly a blessing from above! Just a few days ago, I was sad that I couldn't meet the Medicine Sovereign, and now, we're directly collaborating with Healers Valley," Ruby exclaimed, clearly in an excellent mood."As long as I build a good relationship with Russell, Lav, I might even be able to join Healers Valley. If that happens, the Mosley family will have a powerful backer.""Keep it up!" Lavinia was also delighted. Seeing Ruby thrive was a great joy for the family.Ruby said, "I need to hurry up and relocate the company. The Hackle family has been targeting me in Drammore, so I'll just give up that market for now. "Once I've solidified my relationship with Healers Valley, I'll return with a vengeance. The Hackle family? They're nothing more than ants compared to Healers Valley."…That day, the Mosley family in Drammore held a meeting. Everyone was brimming with excitement.The Mosleys actively assisted Ruby in relocating her pharmaceutical company, creating a
Lavinia couldn't help but admire Russell. He was someone so powerful yet genuinely humble. It was clear he wasn't faking it. His sincerity set him apart from countless men of his age."May I ask, Mr. Briggs, where are you from?""Well…" Russell paused briefly.Lavinia quickly added, "If it's inconvenient to say, that's perfectly fine. I apologize for being presumptuous.""It's not really a secret. I'm from Healers Valley.""Healers Valley?" She froze for a moment.A few seconds later, her eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Healers Valley! You mean that Healers Valley?"Russell replied, "How many Healers Valleys do you think there are in the world?"Lavinia's mind was in turmoil.On the other hand, Ruby covered her mouth in shock."That's right!" She was elated. "The Medicine Sovereign is here in Goldspire, isn't he? Mr. Briggs, you must be here with him, right?""How do you know Mr. Howell is in Goldspire?""Classified intel," Ruby said with a chuckle, her eyes twinkling. Sh
Silence engulfed the scene. It was the kind of deathly silence that swallowed everything.Everyone was dumbfounded. Even Hanson himself felt his mind go blank, unable to process what had just happened.Russell remained composed and refined, chuckling softly. "Mr. Glevensky, do you still think we're being arrogant now?"Finally, Hanson snapped out of his daze. His hair stood on end.Russell was incredibly strong! He was undoubtedly a top-tier expert, far beyond Hanson's ability to contend with. No wonder he was so domineering. His confidence came from terrifying strength.Although Russell appeared refined, his tone polite and even accompanied by a smile, Hanson could feel the sharp, oppressive energy emanating from him, subtle yet suffocating.At this moment, Hanson had no choice but to set everything else aside. He scrambled to his feet, clasped his hands, and said respectfully, "I didn't expect your strength to be so formidable, young friend. I'm impressed. It seems I spoke out
Yates Group was the largest pharmaceutical corporation in Goldspire, so Russell chose it without hesitation. Thus, this scene unfolded."Mr. Briggs," a junior disciple called out and reported, "a large group of people has gathered outside the building. Leading them are members of the Yates family, and they seem furious.""Excellent!" Russell stood up with a smile. "Everyone, let's go take a look."Before Hanson, Caspian, and the others could step into the building, Russell and his group emerged."Hmm?" Hanson's eyes flickered with unease.As the senior of the Glevensky family, he had seen his fair share of prominent figures.Immediately, he noticed the extraordinary demeanor of Russell and his companions, guessing they had to come from a powerful background.However, Caspian was furious. "So, it's you kids who dared to acquire Yates Group! Such arrogance!"Russell responded, "You must be Caspian, the head of the Yates family. I've already placed the contract in the conference r
"Sir, something terrible has happened!" The butler's panicked shout brought the entire crowd to a standstill.Caspian's face darkened.This was the critical moment of the apprenticeship ceremony, and someone dared to cause a scene. Outrageous!"You insolent fool! Can't you see Timothy is in the middle of the ceremony? Who allowed you to shout like this? Someone, drag him out and give him a hundred whips!""Sir, it's a major issue!"Caspian's eyebrows twitched.The butler had served him faithfully for over a decade and was usually calm and composed. For him to lose his cool like this, the matter had to be serious.Hanson was equally displeased. He said coldly, "What could be so major? What could possibly happen to the Yates family? Does anyone in Goldspire not know that I am accepting Timothy as my disciple today? Who dares create trouble at this moment?"In the audience, toward the back of the crowd, Ruby sneered. "Lav, that old man with the goatee is truly arrogant!"Lavinia
Meanwhile, Gideon and Geoffrey returned to Beaker Island, and the process of refining the Rejuvenation Pill began.Considering it was an ancient formula, refining it was exceedingly difficult. With such a limited amount of precious herbs available, extreme caution was required. Any mistake, like an explosion in the furnace, would mean losing everything.Fortunately, Geoffrey's skills were solid. With Gideon's timely guidance, they finally succeeded in refining a batch of Rejuvenation Pills after a full day and night."It's done! It's finally done!" Geoffrey was overjoyed.Succeeding once meant succeeding a second, third, or countless more times. It was easy to imagine the impact. Once this long-lasting Rejuvenation Pill was introduced to the world, it would create a storm!Who didn't want to look good? Not just women—men, too. The entire world would go crazy for it. Endless wealth would pour in."Sir, since this ancient formula for the Rejuvenation Pill came from you, I've decide
Ruby was stunned. Earlier, it had taken her a while to confirm what the Jadeblood Herb was.But now, Geoffrey had identified it as the best quality Jadeblood Herb the moment he got his hands on it. His sharp eyes were truly impressive.Geoffrey glanced at Ruby and snorted coldly. "Where did this little girl come from? She lacks manners!""Old man, who are you calling rude?" Ruby retorted arrogantly.Gideon interjected, "She's the daughter of the Mosley family in Drammore. Her sister is the only female war hero in Dasovia, Lavinia Mosley.""Is that so?"Ruby smirked smugly. "Old man, do you still think I'm rude now?"Geoffrey snorted. "The little Mosley family, with just one war hero, means nothing in my eyes!""You!" Ruby was furious.What was it with Goldspire? It seemed to be full of people pretending to be all high and mighty.First, it was Tanner. Now, Geoffrey came along spouting nonsense and acting so arrogant."Don't bother with her." Gideon then asked, "What treasure
Although Draconis Sanctuary was ancient, it was quite expansive.Finding a serene bamboo grove, Ruby sat on a stone bench. Her playful demeanor from earlier was gone, replaced with an aloof and haughty air.With a serious expression, she said, "I've heard that you have a marriage agreement with my sister?""I knew it would be about this nonsense." Gideon sighed in exasperation. "I've already called off the engagement, so don't worry. I won't stoop to clinging to the Mosleys. Are you satisfied?""It's good you have some self-awareness, but even though you've annulled the engagement, the matter isn't resolved yet!""What do you mean by that?"Ruby didn't know how to respond for a moment.Should she tell him that her father wholeheartedly supported this marriage and intended for Lavinia to bring him into the family for the wedding?If she said that, Gideon might change his mind and shamelessly insist on marrying Lavinia.Ruby's eyes darted as she thought, then she said, "Here's t
Gideon's words struck like thunder. Everyone in the crowd was stunned.That was Tanner, the eldest son of the Yates family and a figure of considerable status in Goldspire.Yet, he had been struck! And… so miserably at that!The crowd watched as Tanner's face swelled on one side, looking like a pig's head, with blood streaming from his nose."Ah!"After the initial shock came the searing pain.Tanner screamed in agony. Then, he flew into a rage, roaring with a ferocious expression, "How dare you hit me! I'll kill you!""What's with the aggression? It's not like this is the first time I've hit you. Tanner, I used to knock you around quite a bit back in school. Don't tell me you've forgotten?" Gideon said with a teasing smirk.As kids from wealthy families, they had both attended the prestigious Goldspire Academy. Back then, Tanner had been arrogant and loved bullying female classmates, often ending up being beaten down by Gideon.Tanner froze, staring at Gideon for a moment bef
