Even Mavis was stunned. As the CEO of Jefferson Group, she had seen her fair share of valuable items. But an eldergroot worth tens of millions? This was her first time witnessing such a thing.The hefty price tag sent a shiver down her spine.Timothy tilted his head with a sly smile. "I told you before, didn't I? I wanted to give Grandpa a special gift.""This gift is just too…" Mavis was at a loss for words. Her perception on Timothy shifted, filled with a strange new light.This man… Why did it feel like the more she got to know him, the more secrets he had? An eldergroot worth tens of millions—this wasn't something just anyone could possess.Arlo stood dumbfounded, staring at the two eldergroots. After a long pause, he finally picked them up, his gaze unfocused.Oswald snapped out of his shock and said, "Arlo, I never imagined you could get your hands on such a priceless treasure! Just seeing these red eldergroots with my own eyes is enough to fulfill me in this lifetime. You
Timothy's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a menacing air enveloped him. Hugh involuntarily took a few steps back.Timothy sneered. "That's more like it."With Scott in tow, Timothy wandered around the mansion, while Scott desperately begged, "Dad, help me!"Hugh clenched his teeth, his eyes blazing with fury. He wanted to intervene, but Timothy's formidable presence made him hesitate. The last thing he wanted was to be humiliated in front of everyone!The crowd followed Timothy, eager to see what he would do next. Scott continued to wail, "Cassian, save me! Help me!"Cassian's face turned pale. After a moment's hesitation, he stepped in front of Scott, facing Timothy. "Mr. Yeager, don't go too far! This is the Jefferson family's home, and Scott is one of the youngest members of the Jeffersons. Don't you have any respect for the Jefferson family?" Cassian said. Timothy raised an eyebrow and looked at Cassian with a smirk. "You can't control me, so you want to use the Jeffe
Cassian clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh. His gaze filled with bitterness, but he dared not speak up.Timothy stretched and turned to Arlo. "Mr. Jefferson Senior, you're not mad at me, are you?"Arlo forced a smile. "Tim, I'm not angry with you. Scotty definitely needed a lesson."Timothy smiled and glanced around the room. Everyone's perception of him had shifted drastically. Who they had initially thought was a poor, insignificant young man had just revealed himself to be someone who could buy tens of millions worth of eldergroot with ease. Furthermore, he had stood his ground against Hugh and Cassian and given Scott a harsh lesson.This was no ordinary person!Even Fiona's impression of Timothy had changed. Her previous disdain for him was now mixed with a grudging admiration for his audacity. It took guts to stand up to Hugh like that.Timothy's gaze then fell upon the statue in the mansion. Addressing Arlo, he said, "Mr. Jefferson Senior, ge
At the Jefferson Estate.As the party concluded, guests departed one by one, leaving only Oswald behind.The Jefferson family and Oswald sat in the grand hall. Arlo took a sip from his teacup and turned to Oswald with a smile. "Oz, what do you think of that young man, Timothy?"Oswald narrowed his eyes and said with a knowing look, "From my years of experience, I could tell that this man is not ordinary."Overhearing this, Mavis looked confused and asked, "Mr. Langham Senior, you said Timothy wasn't an ordinary man. What did you mean by that?"Oswald smiled at Mavis and said, "Mavis, my judgment is rarely wrong. Remember my advice—you must keep Timothy close. Also, be wary of Cassian."Mavis blushed slightly, biting her lip. Then, she quickly changed the subject. "What's wrong with Cassian?"Oswald shook his head. "From the moment I saw him, I had an uneasy feeling. He's deeply calculating. Also, that painting he gave Arlo is a fake.""A fake?"Arlo sneered. "I didn't expect
Damien quickly answered the call, not daring to breathe too loudly as he said nervously, "Hello, Mr. Yeager."On the other end, Timothy's voice was lazy and casual. "I need you to grab someone for me. I'll send you the location shortly. Do it as soon as possible.""Yes, Mr. Yeager!" Damien's expression was utterly subservient. He had been completely overwhelmed by Timothy's skills. Timothy was a man who single-handedly crushed the entire Valiant Hall—Damien could only worship him like a god.Outside, Isabelle's ears perked up. She vaguely heard Damien refer to the person on the other end as "Mr. Yeager". Instinctively, Timothy's image flashed in her mind, and her heart missed a beat. Could it be him?After the call ended, Isabelle walked back in. Damien's real name was Levi Harrison. Unable to suppress her curiosity, she cautiously asked, "Mr. Harrison, who is this Mr. Yeager you were just talking to?"Levi glanced at her. "Ms. Barton, do you remember the last time you asked
Fear gripped Freddy's eyes as he trembled and pleaded, "Sir, if I tell you everything, will you spare me? I was only the scapegoat, I didn't do anything else."Timothy kicked Freddy to the ground and pressed his foot against his throat. His voice was cold and devoid of emotion as he said, "Do you really think you're in any position to bargain with me?"Tears streamed down Freddy's face as he sobbed uncontrollably. "I was wrong. Sir, I'll tell you… The person who made me cover everything up… The one who was driving and hit your sister, it was Kyle Reginald, the scion of the Reginald family!"Timothy frowned. Kyle? He hadn't heard of this person. He glanced at Zack. "Do you know who this Kyle and the Reginald family are?"Zack nodded. "Chief, the Reginald family is just a small-time clan in Lormford City. If I'm not mistaken, they're likely attached to the Kramers—nothing significant.""The Kramers?" Timothy's frown deepened as he thought of Cassian.Freddy, lying on the ground,
Zack nodded with understanding, offering a light smile. "I see, Chief. So, are you planning to deal with Kyle tonight? Do you need me to send some men?""No need. Tonight, I'll handle it personally—I owe it to my sister to get justice myself." Timothy paused for a moment, then asked, "Have you checked on the situation with Norgon?"Zack's expression turned serious. "I've gathered some intel. It seems Norgon is indeed showing signs of rebellion, and there's a strong likelihood that they have backing from another force. Their main base is in Thorpeford City, just next to us. Should we take action now?"Timothy pondered for a few seconds before shaking his head. "No, let's not alert them just yet. Norgon isn't capable of causing much trouble at the moment. I'm more interested in seeing what the force behind them is planning. We'll wait.""Understood."Just then, Timothy's phone rang. Zack, sensing it wasn't a good time, discreetly stepped aside. Timothy glanced at the screen, raising
Turning around, Timothy strode toward the Astral House. At the entrance, a graceful figure stood with a smile on her face, watching him approach.As Timothy's gaze fell on her, he couldn't help but feel his heart race and his breath quickened.Today, Yvonne was dressed in a dark-colored, low-cut bodycon dress that hugged her curves, the white expanse of her chest especially captivating. She wore black stockings that accentuated her long, slender legs, topped off with high heels, exuding an irresistible allure.Those long legs… He imagined them draped over his shoulders.Timothy swallowed hard, a mischievous grin spreading across his face as his eyes roamed Yvonne's body.Yvonne blushed, giving Timothy a playful glare. "Mr. Yeager, your gaze is rather impolite."Timothy smirked. "You're mistaken—I'm not just impolite with my gaze."Before she could react, Timothy slyly squeezed her buttocks.Yvonne almost let out a scream. Her face turned scarlet, eyes shimmering with both shy
