    Everyone from the Winston family was looking at Denisse in a new light. They had never known that this young woman to actually be so capable. Even Denisse herself did not know what was going on. As a matter of fact, she had only met Mr. Red briefly a couple of times. When she made the call to the mayor's secretary, she was not confident that he would turn up. Denisse had never imagined, in her wildest dreams, that she would have the influence to gather almost all of the influential figure in the political circle of the city all at once! Not even that even some richest billionaires had came. Her face flushed exhilaration. She didn't care about the actual reason for their appearance, what was important to her was that she was able to make herself proud in front of her family.

    Jate smiled and said. "It was because of field that the mayor showed up, not me." "How is that possible?" Angela Winston widened her eyes, feeling doubtful. Jate looked at her as he answered. "Why isn't possible? Remember our company is getting bigger and bigger. It's all thanks to your dad for handing over his company to you. Plus your ongoing project at the Sky Island Hotel which you are currently overseeing is a key construction project of the city. As the economy is not doing well this year, the gp can only rely on the Major infrastracture projects to increase the country's GDP.

    Lady Winston's hopes dashed. Feeling frustrated, she said. "I knew that a waste like him would never be capable enough to rub shoulders with all those big shots. So in reality, the Mayor merely popped by to have a free lunch out of convenience." Denisse's lips suddenly twisted in a mirthless smile before she sent. "Grandma, Uncle Angelo's family has always resented us for not treating them fairly. If they managed to gain power, we would be the ones falling on the hard times!" Lady Winston nodded and replied. "You're right. But since the Sky Island project has already been awarded to Angela, it's just a matter of time for Angela's family to rise." "I've already thought of a way. Grandma, you should talk to Angela tomorrow and let her know that you're interested in investing in her company. This way, even if we can't take over the project from her, we can still benefit from it!" Denisse said with a vicious grin on her face. "That's right! That's really a fantastic idea!" Seeing a ray

In a quiet house in the mountains not too far from Fairview city. Mr. Howards was here. He hadn't been made his move at all. His cheeks were flushed and he looked good. After he heard the reports, he sat in the pavilion and was silent for a long time. "I wanted you to kill off Scar and that brat Jan Bobber, then put the blame on Jate Woods. I didn't expect him to walk into this plan himself," Mr. Howards said after a very long while. "I only wanted him to take the blame, but he actually did it himself." His eyes darkened and he couldn't understand Jate Woods at all. The less he understood, the more wary he became. "Can he take the brunt of Johnny Bobber's fury?" Killer asked. Out of the five of them that worked closely under Johnny Bobber, Killer had killed two and Jate Woods killed one. They were no

    After work, Jate Woods took his wife and went to a hot spring resort. "I told you not to tire yourself out!" Jate nagged. "The company can take its time to advance, and it's good enough for you to just have a training ground." Angela had worked too hard and her body was so tired. Jate couldn't stand it anymore when he saw how she would massage her neck and shoulders from time to time and looked like she was feeling great discomfort. He made her stop work immediately and brought her out to relax. This hot spring resort belonged to Mr. Rogers, and it was fairly famous in the city. Not just any resort could get such a good spot with a natural hot spring after all. "Hubyyy...I still have reports to read." Angela had changed out of her clothes, but she was still talking about work. She had changed into a bikini, but she still kept a towel wrapped around herself, and was just short of wrapping her entire body up. "If you talk some more about work, I'll shut the company down right now!"

    Jate Woods sighed to himself on the sofa, after hearing the news of the Clarkson family disappearance. This city of Fairview was a really interesting one. Five days later.... "What are you dreaming about?" Angela noticed that her husband was sitting in the sofa in a daze and she wrinkled her nose. "I asked you how was Fairview city, but you ignored me." "There's nothing interesting in there Eastblue city is still better." Jate just shrugged and just simply an answer. "None of the women there look prettier than you." Angela was about to say it was impossible that Eastblue city was better than Fairview city, but she didn't know how to respond to his second statement. Did this guy only know how to tease her all the time? Her face reddened and she glared at him for a time before finally managed to say, "You went there again and just to look at women?" Jate Woods nearly choked on the water he was drinking. Why was that Angela's focus?! "It's time to knock off, let's go home. I wonder

    Miranda Bailey soon recovered from the shock. She warily hid behind her bodyguards to guard up Jate Woods against attacking her suddenly. She sneered, "Jate Woods, you really are something. Guess we can't fight you alone! But you're still just a human being. You can't be greater than weapons. Listen, I have my men aiming at you! You can't run away, no matter what. If you don't want to die, get down on your knees now!" "Get down on my knees? Are you kidding me? You don't deserve it!" Jate Woods stared at Miranda Bailey and spoke in his usual cold tone. Miranda Bailey could not help but bellow upon hearing his words. "Get the men to shoot him. He's dying to go to hell!" Miranda Bailey scowled and ordered Tom Clarkson, who stood by her side drily. The latter did not hesitate to give his order through the microphone, which was pinned on his collar, "Men, get ready to shoot." Selena whined and struggled madly when she heard him.

    When this thought surfaced in Henry Styles and Bob Miller's minds, they were so scared that they paled instantly. Sweat started to drip down their foreheads.

    Henry Styles nodded. "I thought the same idea as you. To deal with a small fry like Jate Woods, we must take an aggressive stance and let the entire country know how powerful we are. Otherwise, there'll still be people trying to challenge our authority in the future." When Henry Styles said that, a worried expression appeared on his face. "If both of our families attack Jate Woods, to kill him will be a piece of cake. However, I heard that the there's a rumor that the Young Master of the Woods family has been found and he was now currently staying at Eastblue city, making a low-profile living."
