Dylan said in frustration, “Argh, if I had known that, I would have pursued her when we were studying abroad…”Sylvia asked, “Then why didn’t you?”Dylan sighed and said, “At that time, I thought that the foreign girls were better, so all the girls I went after were foreign girls in those years abroad.”Then, he remembered something and quickly asked, “Mom, I guess Jasmine doesn’t have a good impression of me after this humiliating incident. What should I do?”Sylvia sighed and said, “Well, you’d better think of something to see how to bounce back and redeem yourself. Anyway, it takes time to tackle a girl’s heart and there’s no guarantee of immediate success, you have to be prepared for a protracted battle.”Dylan said, “The doctor told me that I may have to be bedridden for fifteen days after the surgery, which means I will not be able to go to Aurous Hill for a while…”Sylvia chided, “So what? It’s just fifteen days, while Jasmine’s been single for twenty-six years!”Upon hea

The relationship between the prestigious families of Eastcliff was very intricate. Noble intermarriage was a common practice between these families, similar to the royal intermarriage where members of the ruling dynasties married into other reigning families.After all, every family had both male and female offspring, and when they reached the marriageable age, they were bound to look for suitable spouses. Since it was impossible for them to choose a spouse from ordinary families, their only options were the descendants among the prestigious families.It could be said that all of these prestigious families were more or less related by marriage between each other. In fact, some families that had many offspring would extend their intermarriage practice to the large network of other prominent families.In Europe, royal intermarriage was very common among monarchies where their kings and queens were related to each other, and this was because the royal families throughout Europe were

After a series of inspections and examinations, the doctor concluded that Dylan’s grandmother had indeed injured her tailbone and needed at least a week of bed rest.Because the old lady was in extreme pain, the doctor gave her a numbing injection and a painkiller injection.Dylan followed his mother to his grandmother’s ward, embarrassed.As soon as he entered the ward, his father Leonard quickly walked up and slapped him across the face with all his force, and chided loudly, “You hopeless b*stard! You’re beyond redemption! Luckily your grandmother hasn’t injured herself badly, or I’d f*cking kill you otherwise!”Dylan had never been punished since young. His father’s abrupt slap made him dumbfounded and aggrieved.His grandmother was a little heartbroken to see his grandson being slapped, so she said, “Leonard, that’s enough. Dylan is still young, it’s normal for the youngsters to behave like this although it isn’t glorious.”Lord Koch was not as magnanimous as his wife. He gla

It was only after the surgery that the ruby necklace was finally removed from the miserable Dylan’s intestines.What awaited him was fifteen days of absolute bed rest, so he had to lie down in the VIP room of his family’s hospital like a mummy.As the continuous usage of the patient-controlled epidural analgesia pump could cause damage to the body, the pump was removed at the second of his surgery, which was followed by the constant pain as he wiggled on the bed in an excruciating grimace.The more intense the pain was, the more intense the hatred he had toward Charlie.He couldn’t wait to recover quickly and then make his way to Aurous Hill to settle the score with Charlie. It would be best to cut him into a million pieces to restore his tarnished reputation as the third young master of the Koch family.Charlie, on the other hand, couldn’t care less about him.Claire’s high school friend was getting married over the weekend. Since he had promised his wife that he would borrow th

Claire said a little anxiously, “I’m afraid that I’m not good at driving these cars. Their engines are extremely powerful, so I fear I’ll lose control and subsequently cause an accident. It would be troublesome if I scratch their cars.”Charlie said with a gentle smile, “Don’t worry, dear. Don’t put too much burden on yourself, just think of them as our own cars.”Claire uttered, “You’d better teach me how to drive these cars, which button does what, and so on.”Charlie nodded. “Alright, come, I’ll teach you how to drive this Bugatti.”At this moment, a brand new Bentley Continental cruised into the Thompson First villa complex.The one behind the wheel was Harold, who was dressed in a smart suit that didn’t match his grisly face.Sitting in the front passenger seat was his father, Christopher.In the back row sat Lady Wilson and Wendy.Recently, the money that the Webb family had promised them had been transferred into the Wilson family’s account. They had used the money to re

Lady Wilson had always despised Charlie and his family.When she had begged them to return to the family, they refused to the very end. Now that she had obtained a huge investment from the Webb family, she didn’t need to take them seriously at all.Besides, she felt that Charlie and the family were simply appearing strong outwardly while they were actually weak inwardly.Although they lived in the luxurious Thompson First villa, that was all they had.Charlie and Jacob had no jobs and no income, simply lingering around the house all day.Claire owned an office, but the scale of her business was very small and the revenue generated from her own business seemed scarce at the moment.Hence, Lady Wilson was convinced that despite them living in the Thompson First villa, it was because they were barely able to afford to live in it, but realistically speaking, they were not as rich as she currently was.Previously, when she needed their support and begged them to return to the family,

Elaine was lying on the bed, watching a drama on her phone. She was bored to tears since she couldn’t go anywhere due to her injury, hence, she spent her time watching dramas.When the drama was at the peak of its plot, the loud and ear-deafening honk echoed continuously from outside her house which irritated her to the extreme. She stomped to the balcony to have a look and saw a brand new Bentley parked in front of her house. The annoying honking came from the same car.Elaine shouted angrily, “Hey, who the f*ck are you? Are you f*cking crazy? Why are you honking in front of my house?”Christopher saw Elaine standing on the balcony yelling expletives through the car window. He grinned and said, “Look, Mom, the shrew is out cursing!”“Haha!” Lady Wilson was overjoyed by Elaine’s reaction and said, “That shrew loves money the most, and if she knows that we are getting back on track, she’ll be so pissed off and jealous. I’ll create an illusion inside her head that I’m willing to acce

Upon hearing Lady Wilson’s words, Elaine was taken aback and upset.Did someone really invest in the Wilson family? Was he or she crazy?Among the lousy few that were left in the Wilson family, who could they bring to the table? It was absolutely impossible that these people could get Wilson Group back on track! Investing in their company would be like throwing money down the drain!Thinking of this, Elaine immediately sneered. “Hey, old bat, please drop your pathetic act in front of me. Based on what I know about you and your lousy family members, even if Wilson Group reopens, it will definitely go bankrupt again in a few days. Just look at what you have left in the feeble family of yours! What can you expect from Harold the loser anyway? You should be thankful if he doesn’t spend all your money!”Elaine’s remarks also hit Lady Wilson’s sore spot.Although Donald Webb had invested in their company, it in no way meant that they would be able to be at ease in the future.After all
