He was an imposing man with a stern countenance. Fred found him looking familiar, as if he had seen this man somewhere before.He was too young to understand that the reason he found the man looking familiar was because the man looked a bit like him."You're Frederick and you're five years old. Your mother is Jenny Hall. Is that correct?" the man inquired.Fred regarded him warily and asked, "Who are you?""I'm Weston Stanton from the Stanton family in Lanford," the man answered.If there were anyone else there, they would have been shocked to hear his name. The Stanton family held considerable prominence in Lanford, akin to the Valor family's standing in Solaria.However, for a child like Fred, the weight behind this name eluded him. He remained wary as he questioned, "What do you want? Are you here to tell the other kids at the kindergarten that my mother is a criminal?"For him, that was the biggest threat.He actually didn't mind if others mock him or hit him for being the

Fred remained silent, his lips tightly pursed.Weston pulled out a piece of paper and wrote down a phone number on it. "If you ever change your mind about going to Lanford, call me. Remember, only in Lanford can you have everything you desire. In Solaria, you will always be an outsider and a criminal's son!"Fred's body tensed even further, his hand clutching the paper with the phone number tightly.Without saying another word, Weston turned and left the room.Shortly after, a kindergarten teacher entered and guided Fred back to the classroom, instructing him to lie down on the nap bed and sleep as if nothing had happened. The paper in Fred's hand was the only proof of the encounter.As Weston exited the kindergarten, he noticed another car parked next to his own. A man stepped out of the car, and it was none other than Jackson, the most influential figure in Solaria!Surprise flashed in Weston's eyes, followed by a moment of realization. He shouldn't be surprised. Fred was cur

Lisa now had dedicated bodyguards accompanying her during every prenatal check-up session, and Terry would go with her as well. Lisa's parents were currently staying in Terry's private mansion to avoid getting harassed by reporters. To avoid any unnecessary trouble, they could only communicate with their daughter through video calls.Today, as usual, Terry accompanied Lisa to the hospital for her check-up. Lisa went into the ultrasound room with a nurse while Terry waited outside.The baby was in good health, much to Lisa's relief. When Lisa walked out of the ultrasound room, she saw a woman talking to Terry in the VIP lounge.When Terry saw Lisa, he walked up to her and asked, "How was it? What did the doctor say?""Everything's fine," Lisa replied, but her attention was drawn to the unfamiliar woman.The woman was attractive, with stylish clothing and sophisticated makeup. She looked like one of those famous socialites in the city. When she spoke, it confirmed Lisa's suspi

A real estate project of the Tucker Group had been discovered to have engaged in unethical practices and used substandard materials. As a result, the city authorities have decided to launch a thorough investigation into the matter.This project was a crucial venture for the Tucker Group, and they had heavily invested in it for two years. However, with the city's investigation underway, they had to halt construction for the time being.Even after rectification, the uncertainty surrounding sales could lead to slower-than-expected funds recovery. This could potentially drag the entire Tucker Group into the mud.The Tuckers were shocked by the news, particularly Allyssa Tucker. This development clearly took them by surprise.During the board meeting, all attendees were required to surrender their phones and leave them outside the conference room. Therefore, Allyssa couldn't even call someone to ask what was going on."I only learned about it this morning. If you wish to save yourselve

His eyes, which resembled hers, were dead serious, making it clear that he wasn't bluffing!"I've said all that needs to be said. Mother, it's best if you leave the country as soon as possible. That way, maybe we can maintain our mother-and-son relationship for a bit longer," Terry stated firmly before exiting the room.Glynnis's legs gave way beneath her, causing her to collapse to the ground, her body trembling uncontrollably.Lisa was anxiously awaiting Terry's return at the White family mansion. As soon as she spotted him, she approached him and asked anxiously, "How did the board meeting go?""It was alright," Terry replied casually."Does that mean you won?!" Lisa asked excitedly."You could say that," he responded. "Put on a coat. I'm taking you somewhere.""Where to?" she asked."To meet Gale Potter," Terry said.Lisa was stunned. Terry took her to a private residence where she finally saw Gale. However, this was not the same Gale she remembered. Unshaven stubble cov
