Chapter: Chapter 173The long journey that took sixty minutes ended with Robert returning to the starting point of Marco's house. The man had been blindfolded and could see the sunlight illuminating the courtyard. Robert let out a long sigh. He stood by the door, where Marco sat on the sofa quietly, before walking in and sitting in front of Marco like last night when they first met."Thank you very much," Robert said sincerely. The man took a deep breath and looked calmly at Marco. "Thank you so much for helping Anna. And you take it easy, whatever you want, tell me. I will give it to you as a gift," Robert added solemnly. To him, nothing was more important than health for Anna. Even if she had to die, it wasn't a big deal to him.Marco nodded, along with the waiter who brought tea for him and Robert. "Of course, I'm not one to help without asking for something in return."Robert just chuckled before clearing his throat. The man put his hands into the pockets of the suit he was wearing. "Oh yes, I have

Chapter: Chapter 172 Not only Robert but Marco is now also standing in front of a room that has a glass barrier. Where, it appears that Anna is conducting a series of examinations with inlets. Starting from the scan and also how her physical condition is now. With the help of a doctor and two nurses, plus a scientist on guard there, Anna was checked as a whole to make sure nothing was missed at all.As Marco, the man turned to Robert. Robert seemed to clench his hands and keep them under his mouth. Her eyes looked so worried. Marco was sure that she was not feeling well.So, Marco chose to calm her down. "Calm down. Your sister is being examined. You can look at him and stay positive. Anna will be fine."Upon hearing that, the tense Robert turned his head and smiled slightly stiffly. The man let out a long breath and closed his eyes. His head looked up slightly, trying to dispel the thousand and one unpleasant thoughts and prejudices he had. Anna had started all kinds of examinations before, and they alw

Chapter: Chapter 171And just as Marco had asked, the next morning, an hour after sunrise, Robert appeared at Marco's residence. The man came with the personal driver serving the Veliiy family. And when Marco saw him, Robert had a small smile."Please, Mr. Robert," Will said as he opened the door. Robert nodded and entered the living room, where he was already there, and looked at him directly. For a moment, the two men looked at each other.Until Marco got up and walked over to the older man. "You've come, and where's your sister?" he asked reassuringly. Marco had not yet seen the woman Robert had told him about.He had only seen Robert coming with the driver before entering here.Robert nodded and then looked back. He waved his hand, signaling the waiter to come towards him. And when the waiter saw her, he nodded and walked around to the other side.Now Robert walked back outside and approached his servant. And from there, Marco saw someone he had never seen before. Robert approached while pushing the w

Chapter: Chapter 170 And now, things were quieter than before. The firearm Marco had brought with him had been placed on the table and posed no threat to Robert. Although the man still occasionally glances at her, remembering the sensation that Marco had caused him a few minutes ago.Both men are seated on their respective sofas as they were at the beginning of the meeting. The two of them were facing each other, and Marco started flipping through the file that Robert had brought as proof of their past cooperation.Marco gave a small nod. "Apparently, my predecessor did get a lot of favours from your family."Marco saw that one of them was helping with the investment at the beginning of building his family's big name. In fact, one of the most memorable was the dispatch of troops when his family was attacked by outsiders who did not like the success of the family head."Because of your intelligence as well as your stubbornness, I will accept your offer." Marco's eyes now turned to look at Robert and saw a

Chapter: Chapter 169 Robert looked at Marco with cold eyes. He paused for a moment and let out a long breath. "I'm not joking or imagining. I know the truth. And because I have such curiosity and confidence, I believe that the Galahad family can help my brother."Robert then clenched his hands into fists, remembering his efforts to help his brother recover. "I've seen so many of the best doctors this city offers. I even went abroad to get the best results."The man took a deep breath and shook his head, his hands raised openly. Her shoulders lifted in despair. "Still nothing works.""I might be able to form my medical team. But the research and gathering took so long. It can't be just one or two months. Even in ten years, I may not be able to get it," Robert said at length.His eyes seemed to glaze over slightly, a shadow of someone present in the man's head. "While my brother's lifespan can probably be counted, he doesn't have that long to wait for me. And now he needs something fast, something that can

Chapter: Chapter 168The living room was quiet, with Marco and Robert sitting across from each other at a glass table. Marco crossed his legs and looked straight at the man who was seven years older than him.As for Robert, the man looked at Marco sharply before taking a slow breath. "I came here because I heard that the head of the Galahad family has changed."The man looked Marco straight in the eye without blinking. He looked confident and calm at the same time. "And as part of the Velliy family, I would say that the Galahad family is indebted to him. That's why I want you to give me a favor."Robert didn't want to waste time with small talk. He had something to pursue and made sure that everything went well. There was no time to think things over and over again. He was already here and had made up his mind from the moment he saw the opportunity.Marco rested his hands calmly on his thighs and looked at Robert seriously. "On what basis do you dare to say such a thing?" It took more than words to convin

Chapter: Chapter 19Several days had passed, and that night, Owen received a call from Helena.Owen was sitting in his bedroom, busy working on his laptop. His coffee had even gone cold without him noticing.“Owen.” Her voice sounded heavy, almost like she was groaning in frustration. “I'm feeling so stressed. I think this is really difficult. Maybe we won't be able to win the Stars Project.”At that moment, Helena was pacing back and forth around her room, unable to calm her restless mind.“Why do you say that?”“Owen, you have no idea how difficult this is. I don't know whether we can win or not because so many people who are already experts in this field have entered the project.”As a businesswoman, she could already tell what kind of business she was dealing with. When she reviewed all the reports about the Stars Project, she became frightened and gained an even clearer understanding of just how difficult her situation was.But she had already invested the savings she had shared with her grandfather

Chapter: Chapter 18Maya desperately wished she weren't in this situation.Panic washed over her, making her entire body tremble. Her mind raced as she quickly realized that something terrible would happen to her if she couldn't escape right now.She took a deep breath, convincing herself that her earlier actions had been the right choice. She had even spotted a nearby exit, and a faint smile began to spread across her face as she imagined herself slipping away.But the glass she'd thrown earlier struck the back of her head, causing her to collapse to the floor.“You...” Maya groaned softly as she fell.The pain in her head was so intense that she couldn't move her body.“Damn it... How could this happen? It was supposed to... It wasn't supposed to turn out like this...”This time, her plan had failed completely. If she'd managed to pressure that woman into paying her, she would have gotten more money and secured a better life for herself.When she'd entered this place, she'd carefully observed everyone

Chapter: Chapter 17Everyone present was stunned by Owen's words.The woman narrowed her eyes at him before letting out an irritated hiss.A man had just interfered in her business, but that didn't intimidate her in the slightest. She remained standing with a stern expression.“Who are you? Are you this woman's boyfriend? Is that why you're defending her?”The crowd immediately erupted into noisy chatter at her words. They nodded, seemingly agreeing that the man who had stepped in must have some kind of relationship with the woman.“If you're her boyfriend, then you should pay for the damages!” Maya shouted.She slammed the table in front of her, making the woman tremble even more.“One hundred thousand dollars in compensation! This is a limited-edition bag!”The atmosphere grew increasingly unpleasant. The woman being intimidated by Maya finally mustered the courage to look at her.“I-I... I swear I didn't spill the drink. I can't afford to replace your bag.”Maya's face flushed red with anger at those

Chapter: Chapter 16Their expressions were grim. Their gazes were sharp, and they had looked increasingly uncomfortable for the past several minutes.“I've already heard about it, Mom. If they win the Stars project, Helena will marry that man,” Tony protested.After all, he was a fairly close cousin of Tony's.“That's right. That man will bring shame to our family.” Vera nervously played with her fingers in front of her lips.Then, a glimmer appeared in her eyes as an idea came to her.“No. We don't have to let that happen. Let's just allow Helena and that damn man to win the project.”“Mom! We can't allow that!” Tony protested. “You said that man is an embarrassment. If that's the case, he'll only embarrass himself here!”“What's gotten into you? Why are you suddenly defending him?” her husband's deep voice rumbled.Vera looked from one of them to the other before breaking into a smile.“Ah, you two don't understand that this is a wonderful opportunity for Tony!”The two people staring at Vera exchanged

Chapter: Chapter 15They entered Victor's office, where a serious atmosphere awaited them. Helena, who had managed to stand up to her family earlier, now seemed even more tense.She remained silent, glancing at Owen before leaning closer to whisper to him.“Owen, don't make Grandpa angry. I'll try to help you deal with him later.”Owen nodded. Deep down, he admired how Helena was always ready to help him. In the past, he'd often been looked down upon by others. Even the woman who claimed to be his girlfriend had never once stood up for him.All she'd wanted was to take advantage of him.Now that the door had finally closed, Victor looked at the two of them before turning his sharp gaze toward Owen.“I'm not accepting you into this family just for the sake of it.”Owen remained calm, meeting Victor's gaze. Ever since he'd heard Victor's decision, he'd suspected that things wouldn't be that simple.“I want the two of you to win the Stars project.”Victor then tossed a document onto the table.Helena's gaze

Chapter: Chapter 14Victor glared at Owen. “You actually dare to say something like that to my precious granddaughter? That's nothing more than a delusion!”Everyone present turned their sharp gazes toward Owen.Vera sneered. “Exactly. He's nowhere near good enough for a family like the Lockwoods. As for Helena's unborn child, we just need to get rid of it.”“That's right!”Everyone seemed to agree with Vera. They spoke with such enthusiasm, as though what they were suggesting was perfectly reasonable.Helena immediately glared at them, her entire body trembling with anger.“How can you be so cruel!? This is my child, and I'm not going to have an abortion!”Vera pointed at Helena viciously. “You idiot! Do you want to keep that child and bring shame upon the Lockwood family, huh?!”Her cousin, who was also present, shouted at her. “You're so stupid, Helena! You just need to get rid of the child and pretend this whole thing never happened!”Helena often found herself losing her temper because of her family
