Tony stood behind Sean.Sean put his hands on the table. There was a cup of hot tea and a stack of documents next to his hand.That stack of documents caught the eyes of the crowd. "The purpose of the meeting today is to inform everyone that I, as the person in charge of the Anderson Corporation will withdraw the vice general manager, Michael's overseas authority."Taking him at his word, there was a sudden uproar at the meeting. The crowd was looking at both Sean and Michael. The crowd did not understand why Michael's authority was being taken away suddenly.They wondered if the Anderson family was fighting among themselves."One month ago, Michael invested in the overseas market in the name of the Anderson Corporation without the company's permission. Unexpectedly, the company he invested in was a shell company. Thus, the investment was a failure." Tony stood in front of the table.He was holding a hardback book. He then opened the book and reported as he looked at it."Mi
Sean had been running the company for years. Under his leadership, the Anderson Corporation had become a well-established company in Northfolk. They were unassailable. The crowd thought that Michael was mad and talking nonsense because his power was taken away.Sean was calm. He stared at Michael who was sitting not far away from him. He was expressionless as he said, "What document?"As Sean spoke, Michael stood up angrily. He then put a briefcase on the table. He opened the briefcase roughly as he took out the document that he forced Sean to sign yesterday. He opened the document violently. He wanted to publicly present it. However, his face was suddenly stiff. He did not even have the time to calm his anger. It was like someone froze him."What the F*ck. What happened?!"Michael was stunned. He then held the document close to his eyes. The document was very close to his face. He stared at it with wide eyes angrily for a long time.Everyone in the room looked at Michael wi
The shareholders and the top management remained silent. They agreed with the decision. They even scolded Michael in their mind.'Michael is a bast*rd!'Someone was mad. He raised his hand as he angrily said, "We have no objection to this. It's his mess. It's not fair to use our money to help him clean up his mess!"Right after he said that, the others spoke up."I agree! What makes him think that he can use the company's assets to make up for his own mistakes?""Michael should compensate us for our loss!""Not only must he clean up the mess, but he should also compensate for our daily loss during that period!"…It could be seen that the crowd was unhappy."Mr. Anderson Sr. and Sean, I think Michael should give up his shares if he can't fix the problem completely. This is the consequence of damaging the company!" one of the shareholders said. Suddenly, there was a dead silence. Everyone looked at the man.Their eyes were filled with greed.The company's shares were way mo
The cold light in his eyes dispersed toward Michael. His eyes were filled with anger, and he looked like an angry lion that was roaring. It was because of Molly.Michael had a deep fear. The hairs on his body were standing up. But, he did not back away.Mr. Anderson Sr. felt the rage between Sean and Michael. He remained silent as he looked through the documents near Sean. He then left angrily. Sean and Michael left after that too.In the afternoon, police officers went to Michael's house. "What are you doing?!" Michael's mood was bad. He was furious when the two police officers pinned him down indiscriminately."Don't think that you can just do whatever you want just because you're the police. I'm from the Anderson family. I'm the Anderson Corporation's vice general manager. Why am I being arrested?" Michael wanted to break free. But, his arms were being pressed tightly. His eyes were filled with rage. "We are in Northfolk! How dare you touch me? Do you have some kind of dea
Michael not only kidnapped molly, but he was also guilty of some other offenses."Father, how can the Anderson family save him if he successfully committed a crime? If this spreads out, the Anderson family would be an embarrassment. Don't tell me if one of the Anderson family members commits a crime, he or she doesn't need to be punished legally. The Anderson family is not all-powerful in Northfolk."Sean's lips were filled with sarcasm.He knew his father knew about what Michael had done in the Anderson family for the past few years.It was just that Ricky turned a blind eye to Michael's wrongdoings again and again out of brotherhood.But, Sean was not like his father. He would not tolerate Michael's wrongdoings.Ricky wanted to say something. But, when he saw his son's determined eyes, he sighed. He did not say what he wanted to say initially. "You're right. But, your grandfather will definitely ask you about it.""I'll explain to grandfather."Ricky backed down when he heard
When Molly returned home after treating Sean, it was already very late and misty outside.The house was very quiet. The only sound that could be heard is the gears rotating in the mechanical clock. She felt very cold before entering the house, but the warmness filled her up as soon as she took a few steps into the house.'What?'Molly walked into the living room, and she was surprised to see Grandpa Dave sitting there.Grandpa Dave would usually be resting in his room at this time. She was a little confused. She walked to the sofa and sat down. Then, she asked out of concern, "Grandpa, why are you still up? You can't sleep?"Grandpa Dave put on a gentle smile after seeing her. "Are you done with the treatment? Are you tired?"Grandpa Dave felt a twinge in his heart as he looked at Molly."I'm good. Don't worry. I just can't fall asleep. I probably had too much for dinner just now," Grandpa Dave said softly. He took Molly's hand and put it on top of his chunky hand before p
Grandpa Dave raised his hand and softly patted the back of Molly's hand again. He sounded earnest as he told Molly with a smile, "Time flies like an arrow. The journey of life is very long, and you'll meet a lot of people. Some of them are not going to stay in your life, but some of them could be very important to you and those are the ones that you have to treasure."Don't miss out on any opportunity in your life and regret it in the future. There's no turning back once it's over…" Grandpa Dave said softly, but the empty living room suddenly felt lonesome. The atmosphere became tense before Molly and Grandpa Dave knew it.However, some things never change, but people do.Grandpa Dave started to feel sleepy. Molly watched him go back to his room after chatting with him for a while. Then, she went to the backyard alone, and she sat there for a very long time.Her surrounding was silent, but her mind was so noisy, that it felt like a bustling city in the daytime. The next morni
"Come over now." That was all Mr. Anderson Sr. before hanging up.He was still haunted by the time Mr. Anderson Sr. went off in the Anderson Residence.He made his way to the Anderson Residence immediately without hesitating.On his way there, Michael could feel his heart constantly pounding like a drum. He felt very uneasy."How could you do things like that and even got yourself locked up?! You're such an embarrassment to our family!"You were given the authority to run the company, yet you messed it up anyway! Just tell me what you're actually capable of!" Mr. Anderson Sr. told him to go to the study room before scolding him.'He's my biological son, after all. Why isn't he like me at all?'Michael stood at the side with his head down. He did not dare to say anything as fear flooded through his being.Mr. Anderson Sr. glared at him and angrily said, "I know what you're up to. You better behave yourself now that you're out. Stop planning on doing anything bad. I'm not going 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
