Chapter 1

"Ah!"In the hotel room, Joanna Skeldon screamed in shock, her hands instinctively covering her body.She was completely naked, with bruises over some parts of her body, evidence of what had happened the night before. Her stockings were torn, the fabric riddled with holes.And lying beside her, still asleep, was a man—Troy Ragnar. Even if Joanna were a fool, she could guess what had happened."You jerk! I'll kill you!"Joanna kicked at the man beside her, rage building inside her.With a loud thud, Troy fell off the bed, startled awake.He blinked, looking around in confusion. Where was he? How had he ended up in a hotel room?His mind raced back to the events of the previous night.Troy had left home three years ago. He had just got back to Silverton yesterday and was thinking about relaxing with a drink at a bar. He vaguely remembered drinking a lot with a woman, but the rest of the night was a blur."I'm gonna make you regret this!"Suddenly, a noise came from behind hi

Chapter 2

Joanna's gaze locked onto Troy, and her brows furrowed instantly. Not this guy again! Just the thought of what had happened between them the night before made her heart ache with a bitter mix of frustration and shame.Troy saw Joanna and grinned. "What's wrong? Changed your mind and want me to take responsibility?"Joanna's face stiffened for a moment before she shot back coldly, "I'd rather die than have you take responsibility. Please watch your words from now on."Troy teased with a smirk, "Come on, don't be so cruel. We had a one-night—" "Shut up!"Joanna's face flushed with anger. She couldn't stand to be near him for another second. Turning to Draco, she quickly said, "Mr. Bowman, I'm really sorry, but I have to go. I'll pay you a visit another time."Without waiting for a reply, she turned and quickly headed to her car, eager to escape.Troy watched her drive off, shaking his head. "What a temper. I told her I'd take responsibility."Draco stood frozen, his mouth agape

Chapter 3

As Troy approached the two figures kneeling in front of him, his gaze fell on them. Two elderly people were bowing their heads, their hair gray and their bodies frail. Their clothes were tattered, patched up in several places, and gave off an unmistakable air of poverty and desperation.Troy furrowed his brow, his voice low as he asked, "Why are you two kneeling here?"The elderly pair slowly raised their heads. One was an old man, the other a woman. Their faces were marked by deep wrinkles, worn with years of hardship. The moment Troy saw their faces, a shockwave coursed through his body, leaving him frozen in place as if struck by lightning.In disbelief, he stared at the elderly couple, his hands shaking. The supplements he had been holding dropped to the ground with a soft thud."Dad, Mom? How could it be you?!" he gasped.The elderly woman, her eyes filled with tears, looked at him in shock and whispered, "A-Are you Troy?"Troy's heart felt as though it had been stabbed. T

Troy furrowed his brows, feeling a twinge of discomfort at the cold, arrogant tone in the woman's voice. Just as he was about to speak, May stood up beside him, her eyes filled with excitement and tears. "Troy, is this really our daughter-in-law? She's absolutely gorgeous!" Gordon's face lit up with a proud smile, his eyes reddening slightly. "Troy, we're blessed! Finding a woman like this... The rest of the family is going to be so proud!"May wiped away her tears, quickly turning to Gordon. "Honey, go get some water for the lady. I'll bring out the chairs."Gordon, with effort, leaned on his cane and made his way toward the house, his face beaming with joy. May hurried inside, grabbed a few chairs, and rushed back to where the woman stood. With a polite, almost fawning smile, she said, "Sweetheart, I found you a chair. Please, sit down."The woman gave May a long, cold stare, her eyes narrowing as she scanned May from head to toe. Without saying a word, her face grew increas

Just as Troy was about to strike, May, with tears in her eyes, rushed forward and stopped him.Troy looked down to see his mother's weathered, tear-streaked face. His voice was hoarse as he whispered, "Mom...""Troy, please listen to me," May pleaded, her voice trembling. "Don't do anything rash. Please, I'm begging you." Troy's raised hand slowly dropped, and his eyes grew red as he fought back the pain. Seeing his mother like this made his heart ache, his insides twisting with unbearable pain.His eyes were bloodshot, his voice breaking as he said, "Mom, I promise you, I've made something of myself. I'm capable now. You don't have to worry."May's voice cracked as she sobbed, "Troy, it's alright. Our family doesn't have much. It's understandable the girl wouldn't want to be with you because of us. Please, don't be impulsive. Just talk to her. Maybe she'll give you a chance."She turned to Hannah, but before she could speak further, Hannah coldly spat, "You're wasting your brea

Chapter 7

A sharp smack echoed through the air, and Susan's body flew backward, crashing to the ground with a heavy thud.Everyone stood frozen, staring in shock. On the ground, Susan's face was marked with a glaring slap print, and blood dripped from the corner of her mouth.Troy stepped forward, his presence overwhelming. Susan's eyes widened in fear as she stammered, "Wh-what do you think you're doing?"His large hand reached out, grabbing her by the neck. His voice was chillingly calm. "Who's shameless again? I'm giving you a chance to speak properly. Otherwise, your face won't be in one piece by the end of today."Tears welled up in Susan's eyes as she trembled in fear. "I-I'm shameless. Please, d-don't hurt me."She sobbed, her voice breaking. Never in her life had she been treated like this."Now you're starting to get it," Troy sneered, his tone cold. "Would've been better if you'd understood sooner, you shameless wench."With that, he tossed her aside and walked over to Joanna

Chapter 8

Joanna's once vibrant, luscious lips were now as pale as death, and her body trembled uncontrollably. Without hesitation, Troy reached out and grabbed her wrist. After a moment, his expression softened with realization, and he quickly pressed two fingers to a spot just below her abdomen.Immediately, Joanna's body ceased shaking, and the color returned to her face as her breathing evened out. In just a few moments, the coldness that had gripped her body melted away, and she seemed to return to normal.Looking at him in amazement, she whispered, "What just happened?""You're anemic," Troy explained gently, his voice calm but firm. "And on top of that, you've been under a lot of stress. You haven't been eating regularly, have you?"Joanna furrowed her brow. "How do you know all this?"Troy gave her a faint smile. "I know a bit of medicine. It's easy to tell."Joanna blinked in disbelief. "Y-You know medicine? I never would've guessed!"Troy chuckled softly, "The top doctors you'

On the other end of the line, the voice of Joanna's secretary trembled with urgency."Ms. Skeldon, Warrington Enterprise has terminated our contract. It's due to issues on our end... So not only has the contract been canceled, but we've also incurred a loss of over 40 million dollars and have to pay an additional 7 million in penalties... Ms. Skeldon, the only option now is to sell off the company's stock."Joanna staggered, nearly collapsing. She placed her hand on her pale forehead, her voice quivering as she asked, "How could this happen? Why would Warrington Enterprise terminate the contract like this? It doesn't make sense!""It's because there were some unexpected issues with part of the company's products. What should we do now?" The secretary's voice was frantic, filled with panic. Joanna's heart sank. The company's products were always known for their quality, so why were there issues now? Clenching her teeth, Joanna responded, "Calm everyone down. I'm heading to the co

Chapter 10

At the southeast corner of the Skeldon estate stood a massive ancient tree, its trunk so thick it could easily be wrapped by two people. Troy furrowed his brow, sensing that something was off about the tree as a strange, unsettling feeling washed over him. He glanced at Joanna before asking in a low voice, "Honey, has this tree always been here?"Joanna paused in her tracks and shot him a glare. "Can you stop calling me honey?"Troy grinned and replied casually, "Well, we've got to keep up appearances, don't we? Otherwise, people might get suspicious."Joanna clenched her teeth, clearly frustrated, but decided not to argue with him. She looked at the tree and then explained, her voice softening, "That tree was moved here about six months ago. Grandpa had it brought from somewhere—no one knows exactly where. It's supposed to be very rare. Why?"Troy squinted, his eyes narrowing thoughtfully. "Nothing. I just think it looks beautiful.""Of course, it's beautiful. Grandpa spent a
