"Thanks for dropping me off." As soon as the car rolled to a stop, Suzanne said her thanks and got out quickly with her purchases. She slammed the car door behind her and strode over to a shabby house.

There were two ruffians smoking in front of the house.

Nathan could tell at a glance that Suzanne's destination wasn't typical. The ruffians outside were clearly standing guard.

He told the driver to call for backup before getting out of the car and following Suzanne.

The two ruffians seemed to know Suzanne. They let her in easily but stopped Nathan when he tried to follow.

Nathan pointed at the door. "That woman you just let in is my wife. Let me in with her."

One of the ruffians smirked. "Samuel's sister is your wife? You'd have better luck telling me I'm your fucking father, mate."

Nathan had no desire to keep the conversation civil; he knew that people like these only answered to violence.

Eyes darkening, he clenched his fists and struck quickly.

His powerful blow struck the

    Nathan had never thought that Suzanne could be so ruthless. She'd always seemed so gentle and soft-spoken.Before Suzanne could say anything, a ruffian rushed in and pointed at Nathan. "Boss, that's him, he's here to cause trouble! He knocked Harry out and punched me!"Within seconds, Nathan was surrounded by several bouncers, who were all staring at him murderously.This was an illegal casino, so they only let in familiar clients. Everyone else in the casino was wary of Nathan, as he was a stranger."Why did you knock out my men and force your way in?" the manager of the casino demanded.Suzanne bravely put herself in front of Nathan. She faced the manager. "Jim, he's my friend."Jim snorted. "You came here and beat up your brother without a care about the other patrons. You disrupted my business. That's all fine and dandy, but this is a different matter. Your friend beat up my men."Suzanne was afraid that Nathan wouldn't be able to fight all of the bouncers in the casino. "I'

    The group of hooligans picked up their weapons and rushed at Nathan. Suzanne felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She wanted to run over and take some hits for him. Nathan was completely unfazed. He drew his gun calmly and pointed it at Jim. Jim's face paled instantly, and he started to tremble. He quickly shouted, "Stop! Don't take another step."The rest of the gamblers scattered when they saw the gun. No one dared to stay around any longer. In Norvania, only powerful people were allowed to carry guns legally. These weren't the people they would want to cross. Suzanne sighed in relief when she saw Nathan pull out a gun. So, that was why he was so calm. He had a gun on him.Jim smiled obsequiously and said, "Sir, I was being presumptuous. You … may leave. I … I don't want the money anymore."Suddenly, a commotion could be heard outside. Nathan looked at the time on his watch. Ten minutes had just passed. His subordinates were very punctual. Nathan p

    Nathan was stunned. He looked into Suzanne's bright, round eyes. Tears were welling up in her eyes. He felt a sense of unfamiliarity. At the same time, he didn't understand why she was upset. So, he felt a little irritated. "What's wrong?"Suzanne turned away from him and quickly wiped away the tears. She calmed herself down and said, "It's evening right now. All of your family members should be at home. I'll head in first. Stand at the door and listen to what happens."She stepped out of the car after she said that. She walked into the house without waiting for Nathan. As soon as she walked in, Suzanne met the butler, Edgar. Edgar was about 50 years old. He was very stoic and quick-witted. He quickly snapped back to his senses after his initial shock."Welcome, Mrs. Morrison. You're just in time. Dinner is about to start," Edgar said politely. Suzanne could tell Edgar was only polite to her because of his professional ethics. Everyone in the household was prejudiced aga

    Suzanne knew that Nathan had entered the house. Nathan was the youngest among his siblings, but his authority was apparent. Everyone feared and respected him. Even his parents had to listen to him. Suddenly, his parents stood up excitedly and walked toward him with smiles on their faces. They casually walked past Suzanne. His father, Gary Morrison, said joyfully, "Nate, you've finally found the time to come home!"His mother, Florence Lowe, was also filled with joy. "Let me get a good look at you, Nate. Have you gotten slimmer this past month?"Nathan slowly pushed away Florence's hands, which were cupping his face. "Since you're back, at least stay for a few days." Florence could sense that Nathan was unhappy.Nathan completely ignored his parents' words. He glanced at the people in the living room coldly. He yelled at his siblings and their partners. "Whose appetite did my wife upset? Whose house did she stain?" His wife? Suzanne trembled. She was shocked and moved by

    The car ride lasted an hour. Nathan brought Suzanne to the entrance of Imperial Heights. It was a villa area where the most important people of Norvania lived, such as the country's leaders, generals, officials, scientists, engineers, astronauts, or key people under protection.Nathan stopped the car. Then, he told Suzanne, "Get out of the car first."Suzanne was shocked as she looked at the words "Imperial Heights" carved on the entrance. She finally realized that Nathan had brought her to a place where normal people would never be able to enter. She started to feel nervous. Then, she unbuckled the seatbelt, got out of the car, and walked over to Nathan's side.Two soldiers who were on guard duty approached them. One of them took the ID that Nathan handed them and glanced at it.Then, they saluted him. "Good day to you, General Morrison."Nathan nodded. The soldiers took out some advanced scanning technology and checked the car. After the scan, they gestured for Nathan

    Suzanne closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She tried to swallow her distress, but it was just too painful to bear.Unbidden tears welled in her eyes.… The next morning, Suzanne got out of bed, freshened herself up, and walked out of her bedroom.She was startled when she saw the people sitting on the sofa in the living room—they were important people, whose discussion of important matters was interrupted by her appearance.They looked at her curiously.Nathan stood up and introduced her politely. "Mr. President, this is my wife, Suzanne."The president of Norvania, Donald Tacker, was a middle-aged man in his fifties. His eyes held a kind twinkle, which made him look friendly and amiable.Suzanne was taken aback by Nathan's easy introduction. Maybe he just didn't want to hide anything from the president.Nervously, she went up to Donald and lowered her head respectfully. "Good morning, Mr. President. Good morning, everyone.""Hello, Mrs. Morrison." Donald held out his h

    As a bioweapon, hydronium was incredibly powerful. Anyone who owned a hydronium-based weapon was practically undefeatable.A combination of hydronium and ultrasonic waves could kill half the earth's population painlessly and unknowingly in under two hours. Every country wanted to get their hands on hydronium.Some countries were even offering to pay five billion dollars per gram of hydronium.The conversation in the living room died off. When Suzanne brought the tea out, she saw Nathan looking through the file about Project Foghunt. She walked over and placed the tray on the coffee table. Then, she knelt by the table and began serving the tea.With well-practiced motions, she set out the cups and saucers and poured the tea into the cups.Her movements were elegant. None of the others could bring themselves to interrupt her.Even Nathan couldn't help but look at her. He was distracted from his reading.Suzanne offered a cup of tea to Donald first.

    Suzanne picked up the bowl of burning sage and walked back to the villa."Madam."She turned.A man in a smart suit came up to her and gave her a polite nod as he handed her an envelope. "General Morrison told me to give you this."Suzanne took the letter. "What is it?" she asked curiously."I'm not sure," the man said. "The general said that he will be away for business for the next few days, so if there's anything you need, do let us know."Suzanne felt her heart clench when she heard that Nathan wouldn't be home for some time.She quickly pulled herself together and handed the bowl to the man. Then, she opened the envelope and pulled out a bank card.There was a note with the card, written in firm handwriting. "The password to the door and the card is 1516117. I will be away indefinitely for business in Sunterland."Suzanne folded up the note and placed it in her pocket. She couldn't stop running her fingers over the card as she stared at it. This belonged to Nathan.Her h

    Jasper became concerned as Imogen placed her hand over her heart. He asked, "Are you experiencing any chest pains? Have you consulted a doctor? I can take you for a check-up."Imogen reassured him, gently holding his arm. "Jasper, I'm fine. I'm just trying to figure out how to balance my future family and career."Jasper smiled knowingly, gently patting her head before pulling her into an embrace. He recognized her uniqueness—her drive to pursue her career and showcase her skills and talents. The thought of being a stay-at-home mother or merely a trophy wife held no appeal for her whatsoever.Holding her close, Jasper murmured, "Imogen, have you forgotten about your husband's financial prowess?"Imogen couldn't suppress a chuckle.Jasper reassured her of his commitment, "As long as you're on board, I can arrange a driver to drive you to work, an assistant to handle all your tasks, and you won't have to worry about anything. When you return home, there will be maids and me to ens

    After returning from her journey across the globe, Imogen headed straight to the hospital. During her travels, she started noticing subtle changes in her body—nausea, fatigue, and a stronger need for rest. Her hunch was confirmed when tests revealed she was pregnant.She felt a blend of anticipation and apprehension. The idea of being pregnant raised thoughts of focusing on family life and raising children. Yet, she valued her career and was steadily demonstrating her skills. She wasn't ready to give it up just yet.When Imogen arrived home and stepped through the front door, she found Gregory and Carol were there. They had just returned from their trip as well, bringing back gifts. "Hi, Mom, Dad," Imogen greeted them.Still excited about their travels, Gregory and Carol eagerly recounted their adventures to Jasper.When Jasper heard Imogen's voice, he quickly stood and walked over to her, taking her hand. "Imogen, I woke up early and didn't see you around. Where did you go?"

    Jasper thought the idea was brilliant and agreed, "Let's plan our route and leave next week."Imogen gently pushed him back, her hands on his chest. "Sure, but let me get up first. We'll map out our journey, set a schedule, and go on a trip for our wedding."Jasper took her wrists and lifted them above the pillow. "Let's discuss this tomorrow. I have some pressing matters to attend to at the moment."Imogen was about to respond when Jasper leaned in and kissed her deeply. Their lips intertwined with passion.…A week later, Imogen received another call from Yulia's lawyer, who conveyed Yulia's apologies and expressed her desire for Imogen's forgiveness. Yulia also requested Imogen to intervene with Nathan on her behalf.Imogen decided to ignore the request. She believed in the fairness of the law. It reminded her of Zoey, who had fraudulently claimed her degree and ended up in prison at Jasper's behest.As for Yulia, she had orchestrated attacks on Gregory, caused Carol to lose

    Imogen's heart raced as she slowly hugged Jasper, her voice bashful yet resolute. "Jasper, you'll always have a place in my heart."Jasper tensed slightly, his senses on high alert. He met her eyes. A glint of anticipation sparked in his gaze as he eagerly murmured, "Say it one more time. Say it—""I love you, Jasper," Imogen said gently.Jasper's eyes immediately filled with tears as he held Imogen tightly, his body shaking. Overwhelmed by emotion, he could only whisper her name into her ear. "Imogen… Imogen…""Do you love me?" Imogen asked, her voice tinged with shyness.Jasper frowned. "I do love you. Haven't you always known?""I still want to hear it," Imogen said."I love you. I love you with all my heart," Jasper declared, gazing at her with intense passion and unwavering resolve.Feeling a bit stiff from his tight hug, Imogen gently pushed him away. "I love you, too, but I must get up and go to work.""Not today," Jasper responded, scooping and carrying her back to bed

    "If it's a gift, why not accept it?" Mila whispered.Gregory quickly took the check, looking unsure of his next move.Once his money was accepted, Oakley assumed the issue was settled. He took Yulia's hand and began to leave the ward, saying, "Well, I'll leave with Yulia for now."Still feeling resentful, Yulia glanced back and shot Imogen a glare as they departed.The ward fell silent. Feeling uneasy, Gregory and Carol exchanged anxious glances."Nate, we can't go easy on them," Mila whispered.Nathan smiled knowingly. He took Mila's hand, gently caressed it, and said quietly, "Don't worry. I'll ensure our in-laws get the justice they deserve."Mila nodded, feeling reassured. Gregory and Carol, who were listening nearby, felt deeply moved and grateful.Since Gregory was injured and confined to bed, the meeting between Jasper's and Imogen's parents ended earlier than expected. After saying goodbye to their parents, Jasper and Imogen headed home. On their way home, Jasper felt

    Yulia was renowned for her boldness and strong-willed nature. Aware of Oakley's wealth, influence, and dual reputation in legal and illicit circles, she feared no one and held a contemptuous attitude toward others, including senior military figures."You need to apologize to Ms. Imogen immediately," Oakley whispered urgently.Pointing at Imogen, Yulia muttered irritably, "Her? Oh, please! If anyone owes an apology, it's her to me."Oakley wiped his forehead nervously, trembling with anxiety. Everyone's expressions around them darkened visibly. Jasper suppressed his anger; his hands clenched into fists.Before he could speak, Yulia grumbled, "Jay, you blocked me before understanding everything, and then you terminated our contract. That's just too much."Mila couldn't shake her worry for Jasper. If he couldn't manage his relationship with Yulia appropriately, it could severely impact his marriage. Concerned that he might not handle it well, Mila intervened. "Ms. Gibson, please resp

    Carol no longer believed the portrayal of wealthy women on television.Jasper took Imogen's hand, and they sat down on the couch together, feeling anxious. It was their parents' first meeting, and the hospital setting added to the tension. If things went wrong and their relationship soured, their future would look bleak.Imogen was particularly anxious. Her palms were growing clammy. Jasper pulled out a tissue and gently wiped her palms before reassuringly saying, "There's no need to be nervous. My parents are easygoing."Offering an awkward smile, Imogen teased him, whispering, "You seem more nervous than I am, don't you think?"Jasper chuckled but offered no reply. Dealing with Gregory and Carol was sure to be a bit daunting.Typically reserved around strangers, Nathan found it difficult to start a conversation at that moment. Meanwhile, Gregory and Carol felt apprehensive and cautious, worried that any misstep could upset the Morrisons and cause problems for Imogen.Sensing th

    Mila approached them with a bouquet, smiling. "Yes, we're in the right place. We've come to visit you, our in-laws."The term "in-laws" caught Gregory off guard as he lay in the bed. Despite his injuries, he quickly propped himself up, struggling to sit upright. Carol, equally surprised, cautiously accepted the gift from Nathan's outstretched hands.Jasper and Imogen took the next elevator, so they hadn't reached the ward yet.Nathan quickly set his things down and hurried over, gently placing a reassuring hand on Gregory's shoulder. "You're injured. Don't get up. Just lie down and rest.""General Morrison, I…" Gregory's voice faltered in distress.Carol's hands trembled uncontrollably as she glanced nervously at Mila, worried that Mila and Nathan had overheard her argument with Gregory.Nathan spoke in a gentle tone, "Please, don't call me General Morrison. It sounds too formal. You both are older than me. Just call me Nathan, and I'll call you two by name in return."Mila came

    In the hospital ward, Gregory had been asleep for over an hour when the nurse woke him to change his medication.After the change, Carol peeled an orange for him to eat. They shared the segments, chatting idly."Imogen really picked a good husband. Even these oranges he bought are unusually sweet," Carol said, marveling at the oranges. Gregory glanced at the orange and said, "They must be expensive.""Yes, they're sold by the piece in big supermarkets. Also, they're more expensive than beef and lamb," Carol said before eating another sweet segment.Gregory pondered for a moment. Then he curiously asked, "Someone ruined our house's floor. Do you think Jasper would help us repair it?"Carol shot him a look and replied, "Listen, don't burden Imogen with this. Don't even bring it up.""Why would it burden Imogen? With Jasper's wealth, this is nothing.""Enough," Carol snapped. "That's his business. No matter how poor we are, we shouldn't ask for what isn't ours." "You're too stu
