Her heart was pounding like a drum. She felt like there was a knife to her throat."Dad! I need your help!"Abigail threw open the study room's door as she panicked.Richard stopped his work. He could guess what was wrong when he saw Abigail's reaction. He looked increasingly serious at her as he sternly scolded, "You came to me only when you're in trouble?""Why didn't you talk to me before you did it?" Richard was frustrated. He was so mad that he threw a file that was on the table at his daughter. He clenched his teeth as he said that.'This wasn't the first time she did something foolish for Sean!'Obviously, they found out what she did, and she couldn't hide it from them anymore!'He dreaded to think what might happen if they got on Sean's bad side."I didn't think I would get caught!" Abigail was so scared that she shuddered. She then cried out."You!" Richard glanced at Abigail. He was so angry that he was speechless. 'No one in their right mind would mess with Sean!'
Due to the financial gap, news from overbroad urged him to quickly settle the issue.Michael had been struggling because of it. He had been sending applications hoping they could help him to get more time.And, for the past two days, Michael got a partnership project. He was waiting for the Noland family to credit funds into his account. He wanted to use the profit he earned from this project to make up for the mistakes he made previously.Michael felt that he was forced to clean up the mess because of Sean. The mess even got to Mr. Anderson Sr.He had been very upset this whole time. He wanted to rely on the Noland family to defeat Sean.But suddenly, the Noland family offended Sean. They even broke the law!The marriage between his family and the Noland family was around the corner. They would soon become a family. Now that the Noland family had offended Sean, this meant that Michael had offended him too.'Does this mean my boorish nephew will one-up me again?"Michael stared
He stared at Michael coldly as he said, "You haven't even cleaned up your own mess, yet you want to step in for the Noland family. I think you're doing too much. "Furthermore, Uncle Michael, you have a financial gap. But, how much is your pride worth?"Sean noticed that Michael's face was suddenly gloomy. He continued and said, "Luckily, the marriage with the Noland family isn't completed yet. Abigail is an immoral woman who broke the law. You wouldn't be at ease if she's married into your family, right?""Sean!" Michael shouted seriously. He immediately got up from the couch and stared at Sean."I still have work to do. Since you're so free, you should go and clean up your mess. If it's not dealt with by next month, you should know clearly what are the consequences." Sean did not want to show Michael any respect. After saying that calmly, he turned his attention back to his desk. He continued doing his work.'Little brat!'Michael scolded that in his mind. He got so angry that
Ricky was speechless as he looked at his son with a frown. He would have taken that as a compliment if somebody else said it.However, he knew exactly what Sean meant.'What did he mean by she only listens to me?'His mother can get mad at everyone and everything. I'm no exception. Is this kid trying to throw me under the bus?'Sean was aware of what Ricky was thinking, so he spoke first to avoid getting rejected. "Everything depends on you now. I have work to be done. I'll leave now."Ricky did not say anything as he watched Sean leave. Then, the door was shut.He felt a headache. He always thought that Sean was an impressively bright person that he did not have to worry about.However, he did not feel the same way when Sean actually used his intelligence against him. Ricky leaned his back on the soft chair as he breathed out heavily. "Sigh…"He could already imagine how chaotic and restless the house was going to be. …Molly was surfing the internet at her home when sh
"Mommy is here!"The triplets noticed Molly standing at the staircase. Then, they ran to her, looking horrified."Mommy, why didn't you tell us about that? Were you hurt?"Mommy, are you scared? Don't worry. We'll protect you from now on!"Mommy, you have to tell us no matter what happens in the future. We're still very worried about you even though the threat is gone now!"The triplets had the urge to end Abigail's life when they thought about what Abigail did to Molly when they were not around.'What an old witch. Not only she won't stop bothering daddy, but she even tried to hurt Mommy! This is unforgivable!'Molly looked at their tiny faces filled with worries as she reached her hand out to comfort them. "I'm fine. Uncle Sean was there to protect me, so there's nothing to be worried about."Molly was trying to say that Sean, who the triplets looked up to so much, was with her, so she would normally be safe. However, that was just an exception.But, the triplets took it in
Suddenly, Molly felt heat rushing up to her head as if a pink bubble was going to explode on her cheeks. Molly bowed her head down to massage Sean's legs, and she did not lift her head up for quite some time.So, she could not see how sincere Sean looked.The Anderson family was going to know how important Molly was to Sean after they knew about what happened to Abigail.Then, the Anderson family would replace Abigail with Molly. So, Molly would not have to go through the dire straits the Anderson family would give her. All she had to do was accept Sean and let Sean take care of everything else.The next day, Sean heard rumors spreading around the office when he got there.Even a big company like the Anderson Cooperation had gossip. Tony came to report to him after going out for a while. "Boss, the Noland family is figuring something out. They're planning to hire a lawyer and prove that Abigail had nothing to do with the kidnapping." It was not impossible for the Noland family
"Everybody out there is talking about how the CEO of Anderson Cooperation had fallen in love with a disreputable woman."She was engaged, cheated, gave birth, and even chased out of the family. She is a laughing stock in Northfolk." Michael said every word clearly and casually as if what he was talking about had nothing to do with him.Mr. Anderson Sr.'s face was already looking upset when Michael turned to him before asking him with a faint smile. "Dad, I wonder if you've heard about this."Mr. Anderson Sr. ignored him as he shifted his gaze to his grandson. His eyes looked imposing as ever and his age did not affect him a slight bit. He had a natural air of authority around him.The dinner was very quiet, and none of the people at the table dared to make any noise. Every one of them bowed their head down while looking at their plates."Sean, is it true that you're with a woman like that?" Mr. Anderson Sr. did not speak very loudly, but his voice sounded very robust. Everyone
'What? Almost got him injured?'The people Abigail hired were too incompetent. Just imagine how wonderful would it be if they could just get rid of him once and for all while he was abroad.'The people that were preying on Sean's power complained to themselves inwardly, yet none of them dared to show what they were thinking on their faces.The expression on Mr. Anderson Sr.'s face turned solemn. He moved his gaze and glared at Michael.Everybody knew how much he loved Sean. Mr. Anderson Sr. thought about the Noland family that Sean mentioned after Tony was done speaking. He figured that what Sean said about them had got to be true judging by how agitated Michael was!Nobody in the Anderson family was comparable to Sean in Mr. Anderson Sr.'s heart.Besides, Sean had difficulty walking. He would not have a great chance of surviving if he was faced with any danger!He had a rather high chance of getting injured, and even losing his life…Mr. Anderson Sr. got very angry when he t
Chapter 1882Chester thought this was a good idea. After deliberation, he said, "Then, let's send some people over from the Dark Group."The Grandset had eight groups on the surface, but in reality, there was a secret Dark Group.The Dark Group's members were trained by Chester. Almost all of them were experts in ancient martial arts.Moreover, they were good at scouting, tracking, and counter-tracking, far more capable than the five Asura Kings.Sean looked at him and said, "That's exactly what I want to do. They're the only ones capable of this mission. Ordinary people can't accomplish it."Chester nodded. "Got it. I'll arrange it as soon as possible. I hope things will turn out well. "Sean nodded. They chatted for a while longer before Chester left.In the evening, Sean returned to his place, and Molly was still awake.She had already taken a shower and was leaning against the bedhead, reading a book about ancient medical techniques.Sean casually put his jacket aside, wa
Chapter 1881Chester left with Sean's orders and quickly told everyone.However, despite the advance notice, some of the family heads in several unmanaged districts were still missing for the next two days.The forces under the Martial Art Union also suffered from the impact.Sean sensed that something was wrong.People were missing in the Martial Art Union and the unmanaged areas, but the Grandset was fine.It was definitely not a good sign.Sean quickly called an emergency meeting.The next morning, all the hall masters gathered in the conference room of the temporary base.Everyone was seated at the large round table.Sean was the last to come in. Everyone stood up and respectfully greeted him. "Master."Sean nodded lightly in response.After taking the seat of honor, he got straight to the point and said, "I presume you know why you are summoned here. Many family heads have disappeared recently, which has caused panic among the people."Only we are left unharmed."S
Chapter 1880Mr. Ballard sighed resignedly, “We have no other choices now. The Martial Art competition will be held in two days. Hope nothing else will happen.”“Although we haven’t gotten any news from the Martial Art Union, we should be prepared for attacks and continue to prepare the medicine.”Molly also felt disturbed. The situation was still uncertain, and they couldn’t slack off.If the Martial Art Union attacked them in advance and they hadn’t been prepared, they would be in danger.“I think so. Now that it’s true, we’d better return to the hospital. The hospital must be in chaos. Molly...”Mr. Ballard looked at Sean and Molly worriedly.Molly was afraid that Sean would disagree and said immediately, “I would like to return to the hospital with you.”Sean nodded, “Remember to take a rest when you’re tired. I will ask the driver to drive you to the hospital.”The next day, the Martial Art Union made an announcement as expected.The Martial Art Union: [Recently, many he
Chapter 1879Sean ordered immediately, "Arrange more people to look for them, while secretly protecting the remaining clan leaders. Don't act rashly and alarm the enemy, so as not to raise new issues.""Moreover, send some people to look into the matter secretly, and keep a close watch on the Martial Art Union."Tony nodded, "Okay, Mr. Anderson. I'll do it right away."After finishing his words, he left hurriedly.Looking at the partial information Tony had previously compiled about clan leaders' disappearance, Sean pinched his brow. Sean mused, feeling that this matter wasn't simple.A few moments later, the office door was knocked again, "Sean, may I come in?"Molly's voice came outside the door.Hearing this, Sean adjusted his expression and got up to open the door.He gently took Molly's hand and led her into his office to sit down, "Why are you guys here at this hour? Are you not feeling well?"He asked Molly softly, smoothing her hair."No, I'm fine. It's just that Mr.
Chapter 1878Sean looked at the woman in his arms with tender eyes.He wiped the water droplets off the corners of Molly's mouth and asked, "Do you want to sleep for a while? I'll wake you up when the meal is ready."Molly didn't refuse.Unwilling to part with her, the three kids had talked to her till late hours last night.And she had to get up early this morning to catch the plane. She was indeed a little tired.Now that she had nothing to do, she could take a rest and refresh herself.Soon, Molly went to bed and slept.Sean watched over her.Later, the maid got the meal ready, and he woke up Molly.The next morning, Molly woke up to find the man beside her was gone.A note was left on the bedside table. "Don't forget to have breakfast. I have something to do and will come back tonight."She looked at the note and felt anxious.It seemed that she too had to quickly enter working mode. After breakfast, Molly quickly tidied up and went straight to the hospital.What ha
Chapter 1877Mr. Ballard smiled happily, “OK. I will take you there personally!”After they chatted for a while, Molly went to visit the hospital. Then she went to the villa to take a rest with Sean.The villa was close to the hospital. Before they went there, Sean arranged for someone to buy it.Sean’s purpose was to let Molly go to the hospital and back conveniently.After Sean carried the luggage into the villa, he said to Molly who sat on the couch, “Have a look at the villa. Tell me if you lack anything. I will buy them for you.”Molly looked around and shook her head, “Everything is available here. If I need anything else, I will tell you.”Sean smiled, put down the luggage, poured a cup of water for her, and asked with concern, “Are you tired?”Molly replied honestly, “Only my legs ache.”Hearing that, he sat beside her immediately and massaged her legs gently.Seeing that he was so considerate, she smiled and felt happy.A few minutes later, Molly felt much better an
Chapter 1876Mr. Ballard felt proud of himself, seeing the surprised expressions on Molly's and Sean's faces."What do you think of the temporary medical base we set up?" he asked, fixing his eyes on Sean.Sean, who understood what the old man meant, smiled in response. "Very good. Even better than I expected."As they chatted, they walked into the base."Mr. Ballard."Every person in a white coat greeted Mr. Ballard with respect.And they were amazed by the presence of Molly and Sean.The two were outstanding in appearance and temperament.Mr. Ballard nodded in response to the greetings while introducing the layout of the base to Molly and Sean.Molly looked around and asked curiously, "Are these people all doctors?"Given Mr. Ballard and Logan's strength, she thought that they could gather dozens of people at most.After all, this matter was full of danger.But those in front of her probably numbered in the hundreds, even thousands.Seeing an impressed Molly, Mr. Ballar
Chapter 1875The next day, Molly recuperated in the bedroom.Sean was worried about her and specially worked in the bedroom.The three kids were also there.They joked or told interesting things from time to time. Molly was amused by them and wore a smile on her face all the time.Molly had persuaded Sean and thus was in a good mood.Within two days, she looked much better.Mr. Ballard, Logan, and the others were relieved and could go to do logistic work at ease.On the day when they set off, Molly saw them off at the door.She looked at them and reminded them carefully, “Please pay attention to your safety. If anything happens, contact us immediately.”Mr. Ballard urged Molly to return to the room, “I see. Don’t worry. You can return to your room and take a rest now. You haven’t totally recovered yet.”Logan and Lesley nodded and echoed, “Uncle Jordan is right. We will take care of Uncle Jordan.”Yolanda said, “Don’t worry. You will go to find us with Mr. Atherton soon.”
Chapter 1874The next morning, bright sunlight streamed in through the window and woke Molly up. She saw three little ones guarding her, staring at her with an intense gaze."Mommy, you're awake," they exclaimed happily."How do you feel, Mommy? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"Molly's heart warmed at their care and she smiled gently. She raised her hand and rubbed their heads lightly, saying softly, "I'm fine. You don't need to worry."Sitting beside her, Sean watched the interaction between Molly and the children with tender eyes. He instructed the little ones, "You stay here with Mommy. I'll go get Jordan to check on her and have breakfast delivered.""Daddy, go ahead," the little ones replied, waving their hands without looking back.Sean left with a smile, and he soon returned with Jordan and Logan. Upon seeing Molly leaning against the bed, Brycen squeezed through the crowd to come to her side."Molly, it seems you are fine now!" he exclaimed with concern, his dark
