Rhett was right. Life in the mountains was very boring. It was too hot out there after lunch. So, they could only stay at home. Tobias, Rhett, and Benedict played chess while Lisa and Marcus watched them.Rhett played against Benedict in this match. It didn't last too long before the latter won it. Benedict said in an exhilarated tone, "I won at last!" He was as happy as a kid in a candy store.Rhett grumbled, "I've been playing chess with Mr. Jones for the better part of a month, Tobias. He has only won one match in the entire time. Look at how happy he is, though."Benedict retorted, "What a load of crap! I lost to you because I went easy on you." Rhett rolled his eyes and said, "Tsk. It's your turn, Tobias."Tobias nodded and sat in front of the chessboard. In truth, he didn't quite know how to play chess. He had merely grasped most of the rules after he'd seen Rhett and Benedict playing for several rounds. Then, he'd had an urge to play as well. He said, "Let's begin, Mr. J

"Oh, my." Benedict's gaze seemed distant when he recalled the past. "It happened when Lucy was about ten years old. At the time, I went to Mossbridge to treat someone. I walked past an orphanage and saw a group of kids picking on a little girl. "I was about to leave when someone sprinted over aggressively and stood in front of the little girl. She shouted at the troublemakers viciously and said that the little girl was under her protection. She would kill anyone who dared pick on the little girl."I watched from the side and found the whole thing hilarious. That person was none other than little Lucy."Tobias could picture it by just listening to Benedict recount the tale. He thought about the tragedies Lucy had encountered when she was young and felt absolutely heartbroken. As for Lisa, Marcus, and Rhett, they also listened to Benedict intently. They were also moved by Benedict's words. Lisa asked hastily, "What happened next?"Benedict said, "There were more than ten punks.

"Go ahead if you have some matters you need to deal with. Lucy has isolated herself to study medical tomes. She'll be fine with us around."Tobias nodded in response to Benedict's words. "Alright, Mr. Jones. I'll leave after dinner. Lucy will end her isolation tomorrow. Please tell her about it then, so I can arrange a plane to pick her up."Benedict nodded. "Sure."Rhett said, "It's been a better part of a month since I last went back, Tobias. I wonder if Kate misses me. I'll go back to Azureville with you tomorrow." A blush spread on his handsome face, which was quite surprising. No one knew if he missed Kate or Millie.Tobias said, "Alright."Lisa had been cooking all three meals for them. Before long, delicious dishes were served on the dining table. Tobias was used to Lucy's cooking. So, he only had a little food when someone else cooked for him. Then, he rose to his feet to pack up his suitcase.Meanwhile, Rhett also went away to pack up his stuff. Both of them came out at

Tobias asked in a confused tone, "What in the world happened?"Howard said, "Back then, we were choosing the next successor for Ripley Group. All three of my sons had a chance to be my heir. I'd made up my mind to let Zeke take over the company."However, Lord knows who spread the rumor and sent everyone in the company into a heated discussion about it. Everyone thought I would hand over the position to my youngest son, Zayne. "They thought that he looked simple-minded and that such a person was favored by God. They thought that Zayne had a good chance to win against all odds. I found the rumor massively unhelpful when I heard it."It's like everyone says—don't trust the rumors. However, that was exactly what Zeke did. He hired someone to kidnap you and orchestrated the whole abduction. "At first, he wanted to frame Zayne for it. However, his plan backfired on him. The cops were giving chase to the kidnappers, and he got shot in the pursuit. After that, he fell off the ship and

Cedric stared at the documents in front of him in surprise. He picked them up and flipped through them. The longer he read them, the more awful he looked. His eyes were filled with disbelief. Tobias pulled out his phone. He played up the security footage and showed it to Cedric. "Take a look at the footage after you're done with the documents."Cedric's expression was even more awful after he watched it. "The man in the footage… Is he our long-lost Uncle Zander?""Exactly!""He underwent plastic surgery and changed his name. Do you think all of this is related to my dad's death?""What do you think?" Instead of answering Cedric, Tobias threw him another question. He stared at Cedric inquisitively, while the latter's eyes were laced with a mix of emotions. Cedric remained quiet for a long time and didn't make a peep. Things became awkward and tense in the private room. After a long time, Cedric murmured, "Why did Uncle Zander have to go through plastic surgery? Why did he adop

Tobias had confirmed another batch of business partners in front of his alleged business partners. He was blatantly humiliating them. The four investors instantly hit the roof."Tobias. We're the ones who were supposed to sign the contract today, and yet you made last-minute changes. No one does business the way you do it. You've played us for fools!""You'd better have an explanation for this. Otherwise, I will not let this slide.""Exactly. Do you even know the regulations in the business circle? You can't just change it on a whim. What makes you think we have to let you have your way?""If you dare breach the contract, we will not hesitate to take this to court. Things aren't going to end well for you then!"All four of them made a ruckus, demanding an explanation from Tobias. Meanwhile, the reporters reacted eagerly and ceaselessly snapped pictures. One of them asked, "What exactly is the meaning of this, Mr. Ripley? Can you please explain it clearly?"Tobias took in their

Tobias' lips curled into a grin when he saw Cedric come to the venue with evidence. It looked like he'd been right to place his faith in Cedric one last time. The latter had arrived at the press conference venue with evidence to expose Joaquin at last.Cedric might've been careless, but he'd had a contingency plan when he'd been in cahoots with Joaquin. He'd made a copy of everything the latter did. So, the evidence Tobias collected had struck the first blow, and Cedric's evidence was another blow for Joaquin.The host projected all the evidence onto the big screen. The people around were shocked to the core, and they started berating Joaquin harshly. Joaquin knew he had failed big time. Cedric looked at Tobias, smiling once more. "I was stupid and gullible, Tobe. This time, I made up for it. I hope you'll forgive me."Tobias' lips curled into a grin. He patted Cedric on the shoulder and said, "Fantastic. Now, this is the Cedric I know!" Both of them exchanged a smile. Things we

It seemed like Maya was ready to fight to the bitter end. She didn't struggle. Instead, she said, "If you don't believe in these test results, then do the paternity test with your dad in front of the reporters once more!"Maya added, "You'll see if I'm telling the truth after that!"One of the reporters asked, "Why are you exposing their identities in public? What do you gain from this?"Maya responded, "I don't like them. That's all."Maya seized the opportunity to tear down Lucy and Tobias simply because she didn't like them, not because of conflicts of interest. It made her claims very questionable. The reporter asked, "Could you and Mrs. Ripley do the paternity tests once more, Mr. Ripley?""That's right. You two have to do it again. That's the only way we'll know who's lying."Everyone put Tobias and Lucy on the spot. Rhett looked a little panicked. Meanwhile, Fiona seemed to have recalled something, and her eyes became shifty as well.Tobias maintained his calmness and
