Chapter 41

Talia's words struck a chord with everyone, including Howard. Even though he knew she said it for his sake, hearing her openly declare him as her fiance in front of so many people moved him deeply.Kaylee, on the other hand, fought to control her expressions. She considered scolding them, yet it seemed inappropriate at this moment. However, holding back her frustration felt almost unbearable.Albert roared, "Y-You actually admit he's your fiance? Are you trying to anger me? What a terrible fate for our family! How did we end up with such an unfilial descendant? You brought shame to our family!"As he spoke, Albert began coughing heavily due to his escalating temper."Dad, take care of yourself. Don't stoop to their level," Holden's younger brother, Kenneth, advised.He then turned to Holden and scolded, "Holden, are you intentionally provoking our dad today? Hurry up and take them away!""Dad, I'm sorry. It was our mistake. Please don't be angry. We'll leave right away," Holden a

"Even when they trample and bully you, you don't even dare to let out a sound!""If you don't want to cut ties with them, I won't force you. We'll proceed with the divorce tomorrow, and I'll live a much better life with our two daughters and Riley!""Mom!" Talia shouted, "Don't be angry. It's not Dad's fault.""It's not his fault? Who else should I blame? If he had a bit of courage, we wouldn't have fallen to this point!" Kaylee angrily retorted."Kaylee, it's my fault for letting you down!" Holden took a deep breath, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes. Then, he turned to Albert, saying, "Dad, thank you for raising me into who I am today. I'll remember this favor for a lifetime. But over the years, I've felt your ruthlessness. As a husband and father, I need to be responsible for them, and I hope you can understand.""Holden, you unfillial son! What are you planning!?" Albert steadied his emotions and asked angrily."Liquidate that twenty percent of the shares for us. F

Howard had not expected the situation would coincidentally revolve around the contract for Mendorra Tower. For him, whether it was a three-year contract or one spanning three hundred years, it posed no problem whatsoever."What authority do you have to speak here?" Tasha angrily retorted."Tasha, are you deaf or just mentally challenged? Didn't you hear Talia? He's my brother-in-law!" Yuffie responded loudly. Then, addressing Albert, she said, "Grandpa, Howard is asking you a question. Give a definite answer!"In truth, Yuffie had no confidence in Howard securing the contract for Mendorra Tower. However, for some reason, she felt that since Howard asked, maybe he really had a way to handle this matter."Nonsense, of course!" Albert responded after taking a sip of tea. "As long as you can secure a three-year contract with Mendorra Tower, not only will I fulfill my previous promises, but I'll also supplement the dividends from the twenty percent shares over these years!"For him, th

"Oh, Walter Beech! Nice name!" Howard smirked. "You do seem quite distinguished. Care to introduce yourself?""Walter is the heir of Mendorra's Beech family, and the Beech Jewels, under the Beech family, is the largest jewelry company in Mendorra!" Tasha boasted with pride."Moreover, just yesterday, Beech Jewels successfully secured a one-year contract with Mendorra Tower!""Oh, impressive!" Howard replied with a faint smile.Tasha continued, "Of course! Walter is currently seeking connections to ensure that our products from the Jenkins family can also be featured in Mendorra Tower!""Is that so?" Howard smiled again. "Then you better act quickly, or you might miss the chance." Walter snorted. "How ignorant! If you can secure a contract with Mendorra Tower within a day, I'll kneel before you!"Howard smirked and replied, "Save your breath and hurry back to ensure your family's contract at Mendorra Tower won't be canceled. Otherwise, you'll be in for a rough time."Walter sco

Talia also wanted to vent her anger, but she knew getting angry would not make any difference. Hence, she decided that if all else failed, she would have to seek help on her own. Otherwise, their situation would become even more difficult after tomorrow."I speak this loud; if you don't want to listen, plug your ears!" Kaylee continued to shout."Kaylee, don't be like this. Even without Howard's issue, they wouldn't have cashed out our shares," Holden spoke after taking a deep breath.After tonight's events, Holden, who had harbored a faint hope for the Jenkins family, had given up entirely. He had not expected his own father to be so heartless."Shut up!" Kaylee's anger shifted back to Holden. "I'm still mad at you. Did you hit your head as a kid? What makes you think you can get the contract for Mendorra Tower? If you had that ability, our family wouldn't be in this situation!""I used to know someone in the business department at Mendorra Tower. I was planning to ask him for he

Chapter 46

Howard was exasperated at how dense Yoel could be at times, always bringing up sensitive topics at the wrong time!"Did the Jenkins family take your give and chase you out immediately?" Yoel joked again.Howard did not respond to his comment. Instead, he took a sip of tea and then briefly recounted the recent events."Old Master Albert really has some nerve!" Yoel expressed his disbelief. "How about sending the Judge to pay a visit to the Jenkins family and have a chat with him?""We shouldn't resort to force unless necessary!" Howard replied."Fine." Yoel pouted."Is there any update with the Judge?" Howard continued his inquiry.After returning to Mendorra, the Judge came along with Howard and Yoel. Howard instructed him to keep an eye on the Austin, Francis, and Blake families. Once the Jenkins family matter settled down temporarily, he planned to settle scores with these three families.Yoel reported, "I talked to him this afternoon. The Francis and Blake families are quiet

"Let's make a deal. I'll give you a chance." Jayden blew out another smoke ring and added, "If you can defeat all the guys I brought here, I'll immediately compensate for the purchasing price difference in that community. Of course, if you can't handle them, and they end up hurting you pretty bad, I won't be held responsible!"Howard set down his teacup, looked at Jayden, and finally said, "I'll give you a chance too. If you personally go to the community tomorrow morning, apologize to each household, and make up for the money, I'll let you off this time. What do you think?"Jayden burst into laughter. "Interesting! It's been a long time since I heard someone say they'll let me off!"After saying this, Jayden stood up, walked to a nearby chair, and sat down. Then, he raised his hand, signaling his men."Go ahead! But don't go too hard on them!" In an instant, the fifty men raised their weapons and charged toward Howard and Yoel."What a shame." Howard shrugged. Just as he said th

"Are you done with your call?" Howard waved his hand again. "If you're done, just wait on the side. Don't disturb us while we eat!"Afterward, he shouted to the crowd watching from a distance, "Waiter, bring the dishes!""How arrogant!" Jayden's eyes flashed with a cold glint. "I hope you'll still be as confident as you're now later!"Time flew, and half an hour quickly passed. Howard and Yoel had just finished their meal when chaotic footsteps echoed at the door, followed by about twenty people entering. At the forefront was a middle-aged man about the same age as Jayden. He was muscular, with sharp eyes, exuding a fierce aura. This person was none other than Mendorra's underground kingpin, Layton Holt!When Layton was young, he had one finger on each hand severed, leaving him with only eight fingers. Naturally, Layton's strength far surpassed that of small-town players like Hurley in Nimbulus. He was truly a heavyweight in a league of his own.Behind Layton was a lean old man wi

"I've got a grasp of your issues with Jayden. Here's a suggestion," Layton continued, "I'll have Jayden come up with seven hundred thousand dollars for you two, and we can put this matter to rest. What do you think?""Well, if I'm not mistaken, Jayden has likely swallowed hundreds of millions with just that one community," Howard said, sipping his tea. "Now you're asking him to cough up seven hundred thousand dollars to settle the matter? Do you think I'd be interested in that?""My friend, a bad compromise is better than nothing!"Layton was getting irritated. He had lowered his stance considerably, but Howard seemed unimpressed. Everyone had a limit to their patience, especially one that had been in power for a long time."Enough of this. I don't have time to waste on words. If I don't see him repaying the money in the community tomorrow, I'll make sure he shuts down his company! If you want to handle this, make your move quickly. After the fight, I need to go back and get some s

Chapter 50

Before Howard could act, Yoel chimed in, "Can't you have a bit of self-awareness? Why don't you believe it when I say you're too weak?"Then, he raised his hand to create a mighty gust with a seemingly effortless sweep. Though appearing nonchalant, his palm harbored a violent energy akin to a hurricane sweeping toward Samuel.As Yoel's aura fluctuated, Samuel was stunned. Only now did he realize the magnitude of trouble he had stirred. Ironically, he had contemplated exchanging blows with this person! Attempting to dodge, Samuel found himself in a difficulty. The gap in their martial abilities resembled an abyss, and he did not even have the chance to evade.Soon, a muffled sound echoed as Samuel was sent flying. He soared for more than ten meters before crashing heavily to the ground, spewing out a mouthful of blood. Clearly, Yoel had shown mercy. Otherwise, Samuel would already be dead. The scene immediately fell into a silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Mendorra's
