Charlotte walked in nervously, her hands tightly clasped together. She looked like she hardly dared to breathe. There was a flicker of anxiety on her pretty face as she looked at Zack, her eyes filled with respect.Even just standing before him made her feel uneasy. Her humblest side was on full display.Zack glanced at her before saying with a faint smile, "My apologies, Ms. Shaw, but I had a phone call earlier. Do go ahead and tell me why you have come to see me today on behalf of the Shaws."Charlotte glanced at Zack. Her palms were sweaty. Although she had been standing outside the office earlier, she overheard a bit of Zack's conversation and heard him addressing the other person as chief. She even deduced from his tone that he considered himself a subordinate to the person on the other end, even going so far as to await the other's arrival.That was entirely shocking news to her, of course. Zack was not only the richest man in Lormford City but also the head of the Lormford

Smiling faintly, Zack replied, "Up till today, five of the Six Great Families of Lormford City, including your family, have spoken to me about this. We'll have to discuss it some other time. I'll give this matter my full consideration. The Shaws are also in the running, of course."Charlotte pursed her lips and clutched the edge of her skirt tightly. Biting her lip, she said with a conflicted expression, "Please do give us your full consideration, Mr. Larson."Zack sipped his drink and nodded without saying anything else. Charlotte knew this was a sign he wanted her to leave, but she dared not take any offense. He had already shown enough courtesy by meeting her in person.She turned to leave, but suddenly, she turned back around and said, "May I be so bold as to ask you something, Mr. Larson?""Go on."Charlotte's gaze flickered. Blushing slightly, she said, "My grandpa told me that when you had a meal with him, you mentioned wanting to introduce someone to me…"Zack was taken a

The elevator doors opened with a ding, and Charlotte lifted one of her long, slender legs to step into the elevator.At the same time, the doors of the elevator on the side opened, and Timothy stepped out. Taking in the opulence of the place, he tutted and remarked, "How lavish. He sure knows how to enjoy himself."Startled, Charlotte had a strange expression on her face. Why did she get the feeling she had heard Timothy's voice? That was impossible. She wanted to stick her head out of the elevator to check, but the doors started closing just as she was about to.Charlotte shook her head. Thinking that it was impossible anyway, she couldn't be bothered to open the doors back up. After all, Timothy came from an impoverished family, and his parents collected trash for a living. How could he possibly show up here?As the doors finally closed for good, she stopped dwelling on it.Timothy had no clue that Charlotte had entered the elevator beside him. He strode to Zack's office, wh

"I've heard some rumors about this, and now that I'm back, I plan to take care of these moles," Timothy said. "So far, only the Norgon has been exposed, but I'm sure others are hiding in the shadows." He continued, "You can't reveal my identity to anyone yet. I don't want anything to interfere with my business. Do you understand?"Zack nodded respectfully. "Understood, Mr. Yeager!""Alright, that's about it. I came to meet you mainly for those two matters. I'll contact you if anything else arises."With that, Timothy stood up and walked out of the office. Meanwhile, Zack watched his retreating figure with admiration.He could tell Timothy wasn't an average man from his words. Caelumis was bound to succeed with someone like him in charge.Without wasting time, Zack instantly assigned his subordinates to investigate Tiana's accident and searched for the medicinal ingredients Timothy needed.As night fell, Lormford City gradually came to life, its street aglow with sparkling light

Cora and Joseph remained still.Cora's expression changed from fear to confusion, skepticism, and eventually disbelief. Her voice trembled as she asked, "Tiana, what did you just say? Can you say it again? I can't believe it."With tears running down her face, Tiana repeated, "Mom, I can feel my leg again!"Hearing her words made Cora and Joseph burst into tears. It had been three years since Tiana's leg was paralyzed after that accident.In those three years, she had lost sensation in her leg. Every doctor had deemed her leg beyond hope, stating that it was entirely impossible to be treated.Yet, she could suddenly feel her leg again, which meant there was a chance for recovery.Cora held Tiana tightly, her voice choked with passion as she sobbed, "There's hope for you, Tiana!"Joseph wiped away his tears and patted Timothy on the shoulder. "Good job, son!"Timothy grinned and looked at Tiana. "I've already asked someone to look for the medicinal ingredients. Once they arrive,

Timothy swallowed the words at the tip of his mouth when he saw the smiles on his parents' faces.Cora was beaming with excitement, a feeling she hadn't experienced in a long time.Her son had returned home safely, had a fiancée, had excellent medical skills, and almost had a job. Meanwhile, there was hope for her daughter's leg to be treated.Suddenly, life seemed full of hope, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to disappear.The light in the hall was dim, and Timothy glanced at his surroundings. The walls were dirty, the floor cracked, the windows were drafty, and the roof leaked. The entire house was damp and dreary.He couldn't help but frown and ponder momentarily before saying, "Mom, Dad, you should start packing. We'll find a time to move out of here."The elderly couple was taken aback. "Move out? Where will we move? We don't have a house."Timothy smiled and answered, "I have a house big enough for all of us. Besides, the environment is much better than here. This old

"If you have anything to say, just say it, darling. There's no need to be so serious," Timothy teased with a cheeky grin.Mavis' face flushed bright crimson as she gritted her teeth in frustration. Her eyes were full of embarrassment and rage as she warned, "Timothy, for the last time, stop calling me darling!""You told me this afternoon that if you lost, I can call you darling. You're the CEO of a large corporation like Jefferson Group, but you can't keep your promises?"His words made her expression tightened. After a few seconds of silence, she reluctantly gave in. "You can call me that in private, but don't do it in public."Timothy silently chuckled. He hadn't expected the proud woman to give in. After all, she was pretty stubborn.He didn't want to push his luck and agreed happily. "No problem, darling! Tell me, what do you want to talk about?"When he stressed the word "darling", Mavis felt extremely uncomfortable. The feeling of being called that by a man who used to pic

Mavis sneered. "You'll never get to kiss me, so get ready to run naked. I'll send you my account number later. I can't wait to see how you plan to impress me." With that, she hung up the phone.A few seconds later, Timothy's phone chimed with a message from her that included her account number.He smiled mischievously and thought, "Mavis, just wait and see how I'll make you regret being so aloof tonight. My kisses will melt away that cold front you've been putting up."He glanced back at the dimly lit courtyard, then quietly slipped away. At the street corner, he rubbed his palms together and pondered how to make money.Timothy wasn't short of money. His card balance could buy several islands in a medium-sized country. Although he could just have someone transfer the money to Mavis, he found that idea too boring. Since he had nothing else to do after returning to Lormford City, he decided to have some fun.Suddenly, an idea struck him. He flicked the ash from his cigarette and h
