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 10Everyone present was shocked by what had just happened. Meanwhile, Helena lightly applauded.Harris felt utterly humiliated. His body still hurt from being thrown by Owen, but he immediately got back to his feet.“How dare this bastard! Do you really have no idea who I am?”“I don't know, and I don't care,” Owen replied immediately.Harris's anger grew even worse. With a furious shout, he charged straight at Owen. He was determined to take the man down and make him beg for mercy.Owen didn't even need to move from his spot. As Harris attacked, Owen effortlessly deflected his strike. Then, with a swift kick, he sent Harris crashing to the ground.“Ah, can't you even walk properly?” Owen asked in a mocking tone.Harris's face turned bright red. He had never been humiliated like this in his entire life. Just as he was about to attack again, Helena was already standing beside Owen.“Look at you. You're even pathetic when it comes to strength. You're completely useless.” She scoffed.“Hele

Chapter: Chapter 9This was supposed to be a peaceful lunch. But the moment the man appeared, Helena’s expression immediately changed.Based on her past experiences, dealing with Harris was never pleasant. He came from one of the wealthy families and had a habit of looking down on women.“If you wanted to eat here, you should’ve told me. I could have arranged everything to make it more romantic.” Harris pulled out a chair and sat down, blocking Owen’s view of Helena.But things didn’t go the way he expected when someone suddenly pulled his chair backward.“It’s extremely rude to interrupt someone else’s lunch,” Owen said.Now he found himself staring directly at Harris.All his life, Harris had always tried to assert his authority and make others listen to him. Yet just now, a man he didn’t even know had casually pulled his chair away. It had bruised his pride and infuriated him.“Someone insignificant like you should just leave.” Harris waved his hand dismissively toward Owen before turning his attenti

Chapter: Chapter 8Sarah had been standing in front of Owen’s house for twenty minutes. She had dressed herself up beautifully, hoping Owen would be impressed the moment he saw her.“Why is it taking him so long to open the door?” She nervously bit her fingernail.Ever since Owen had broken up with her and kicked her out, she had felt strange. Sarah couldn’t accept what had happened because she had lost her personal ATM. It was strange how their entire plan had suddenly fallen apart.Sarah looked toward the door again.“Is he not home?” she muttered with a groan.“No. No. There’s no way he’s with Helena Lockwood!” Sarah stomped her foot as she remembered what her brother had told her.After breaking up with him, there was no way Owen could possibly be with a woman from such an influential family.“He loves me so much. He’d do anything for me. I know what he’s doing now is just to make me jealous,” she muttered.At that exact moment, the door finally opened. Owen immediately saw her, and his expression t

Chapter: Chapter 7“N-No… that’s impossible.” Wales stared at Helena in shock.He shook his head, lightly tugging at his own hair.“There’s no way a woman like you would want Owen. You must be lying.”Helena continued to hold Owen’s arm, a sweet smile on her face.“Owen is a kind and wonderful man. Anyone would want to be with him.”Everything about this was a surprise to Owen. He listened carefully to her words but never expected her to defend him. The two of them weren’t even in a relationship. This was the first time they had met.“I guess I’m lucky I broke up with Sarah,” Owen finally said.Wales was completely bewildered. He had never expected something like this to happen. Just a few days ago, he still remembered how Owen had apologized to his sister.Owen had been willing to do anything because he loved Sarah.Wales quickly realized that he was about to lose his source of money as well. Panic flashed across his eyes as he looked at Owen again.“You shouldn’t be acting so arrogant. If you keep thi

Chapter: Chapter 6The introduction seemed to hang in the air, leaving Owen speechless. He remembered the name. The Lockwood family was quite famous in his city.Is she really that Lockwood? he wondered.Helena withdrew her hand and then took something from her bag.“This is my business card, and I’d like to give you a gift.”Owen took the business card in confusion. He looked at the details printed on it: Helena Lockwood, along with the name of her company, Saint Muse.Owen’s eyes widened as he looked at Helena.He was certain now that Helena truly came from the Lockwood family.“You really don’t need to give me a gift, Miss.” Owen remained polite.Helena shook her head. “No. I’m still going to give you a gift. Come to my company. I need to prepare the gift for you first.”Owen had no intention of refusing Helena again, but he was curious about why she was being so insistent.“I only returned your bag, Miss.”Helena finally let out a sigh. She was a polite and well-mannered woman despite being extremel

Chapter: Chapter 5He had driven them out, but Owen knew very well that he wouldn’t be able to get rid of them that easily. Looking around his house, he realized there were still plenty of ways for them to cause trouble.The house might not have been particularly luxurious, but it was the only thing his parents had left behind, so Owen had decided to protect it.That afternoon, he put on his hoodie and quickly left the house, getting into the ride-hailing car he had booked.“We’ve arrived at Grand Sky Mall, sir,” the driver said several minutes later.Owen looked outside. The car had stopped, and he had arrived at the mall. After making the payment online, Owen immediately got out. He quickened his pace toward a place called Sentinel Security Center (SSC).A young man at the front desk looked at him.“How may I help you, sir?”Owen immediately explained what he wanted.“I want the best surveillance cameras you have, along with the most advanced security system.”The young man wrote down Owen’s request b
