"Jasmine," Russell called softly, staring at the lady before him."You still know how to call my name." Jasmine rolled her eyes at Russell, her eyes filled with delight as she held his arms.His clothes had dried now, though he still quite reeked of sweat and other things."I heard what happened, and I must say, I support you," Jasmine grinned, chuckling as if recalling what had happened.Jasmine was the daughter of his mother's close friend. They were the only ones who helped Russell in the past.But because Russell didn't want to break off from his family, he refused to quit his mother's company and work in her friend's company, even with the high position she offered him.Besides, his father had threatened to disown him if he did; thus, there was nothing he could do about it."Don't talk about them; I don't want to hear." Russell smiled, shaking his head.This was just the beginning. He would make sure they all suffered for what they did. He was never going to let any of them off—n

Russell didn’t look back after Bruce’s convoy disappeared into the distance. He couldn't care less if the old man believed him. It was his luck to have met him, and since he did not believe him, then that was also his luck.Across the road, standing tall and majestic under the afternoon sun, were the Twin Towers.Two identical skyscrapers pierced into the sky, their glass exteriors reflecting the bustling city. Many companies who could have their own building were stationed right inside the building, all because it represented status and power.Russell narrowed his eyes slightly. This was his next destination.Without hesitation, he crossed the road and walked straight toward the entrance.The doors spun lazily as executives in suits walked in and out. The atmosphere here was entirely different from the chaotic riverbank.Each executive belonged to a different company within the building, but none cared.Just as Russell stepped onto the staircase leading to the entrance, two guards bl

"Huh!"The crowd froze, hearing this, as they couldn't believe their ears.Fifteen million for saving a boy? If they knew this, they would have jumped into the river earlier without any hesitation.After all, in the entire city, only a few families would be able to pull out such a large amount of money."I'm sorry, old man, but that goes against my principles," Russell's voice came, pulling everyone out of their thoughts.But at the moment, Russell’s voice sounded like a clap of lightning to their ears, and they couldn't help but glance at him rather incredulously.What the heck was the young man thinking? Rejecting fifteen million?If it were not for the guards present, they wanted to rush forward and beat the heck out of him. How dare he reject such an amount?Didn't he know who he was talking to? That was fifteen million.The old man also frowned slightly, observing Russell, who had a gentle smile."I...""If you're thinking about adding to the amount, then you should just discard

Russell whistled as he walked out of the company, feeling rather elated.Finally, he had gotten what he wanted. The next thing was to check out the Twin Tower.As for his father and the rest, he would find time for them later. It was time to sort out things."Isn't there anyone who knows how to swim here?" A loud yell came, pulling Russell back to his senses as he walked down the street away from the building."Someone please help, or he would drown!" The voice yelled again, and Russell turned in the direction of the voice.At the other side of the road, a crowd was gathered, pointing and watching something.A young woman stood at the center of the crowd, yelling, asking if there was anyone who knew how to swim.Seeing this, Russell frowned slightly and moved closer to the crowd. Getting there, he froze at the sight before him.Just right beneath was a flowing river. Splashes were seen; a small figure struggled to swim but to no avail. At a glance, one could tell the figure couldn't s

Hearing this, all the employees quickly rushed back to their work while Gordon, Marcus, and Ryan rushed out to meet the chairman with their swollen faces."Chairman!"Gordon crawled forward, his voice filled with helplessness and sorrow."Please punish him, sir; he attacked me and my colleagues while we were trying to query him on why he was absent the days before."Ryan and Marcus nodded, their swollen faces and the guards lying on the floor were evidence of their words.The entire floor was in chaos. Employees whispered among themselves, their gazes flickering between Russell and Jacob.At the moment, Jacob's face was as dark as coal, his gaze landing on Russell."Russell," Jacob called, his voice cold and low."What exactly do you think you’re doing?" He roared, pointing at Russell, his body shaking.Russell raised his head lazily, meeting his father's gaze. But then, he couldn't be too bothered to care about his father.Standing behind Jacob was Anna and Ethan, both glaring at Rus

(The Next Day)The sun rose slowly over the city skyline, casting golden light over towering buildings and busy streets.Standing before a magnificent building was Russell.In front was a large sign which read, "Miller Biotech Group."This was his mother’s life’s work.For years, he had walked through these doors with his head lowered, wearing cheap clothes, enduring mockery and humiliation, all because his father suggested it would be best to work from the bottom all the way up.He had foolishly believed. And while Ethan enjoyed a high position with a high salary, he was stuck at the bottom with a small salary which would sometimes get docked by Ethan's minions.If he complained to his father, he wouldn't say anything and just told him to put up with it.But today, all of that would end. He was done enduring. With that thought in mind, Russell walked in slowly.The moment he stepped in, a few eyes landed on him, and whispers began as gossip started to fly around."Isn’t that Russell?
