“You also called him with respect. What is happening?” Patrick felt like he had been struck by lightning. It was unbelievable. Why was his father-in-law addressing James as Mister? Could it be that Gerald was not bragging after all? Was James truly a Great Master? “Stop talking nonsense, you fool! You dared to send people against Mr. James Timothy?” Almer’s voice roared with anger. “Hand your phone over to Mister James right now, and beg for his forgiveness! If he gets angry, you can wait for death to come!” Those words struck Patrick’s heart like thunder. He stood frozen, his eyes widening in disbelief, staring at James with growing fear. But James remained calm. Not a single trace of emotion appeared on his face. That calmness only made Patrick panic even more. This man was too deep and unpredictable. How terrifying… with nothing but his composure, James could make his father-in-law, Almer, so afraid and respectful! With a pale face and trembling steps, Patrick finally walked

Almer was a man who had faced many big events, but this time his body felt cold and his heart pounded under the pressure. “Sir, perhaps there is some misunderstanding. Gerald is in the Nelton Family, and no one is pressuring him,” Almer said with a forced smile. Even so, he was actually very nervous. He never expected James, such a mysterious figure, to personally step in for Gerald. “No?” James stared deeply into Almer’s eyes. That gaze made Almer’s skin crawl, as if his mind had been opened and read completely. “Sir, surely you must be joking. Since you personally spoke with Gerald, and he is also my nephew, how could I possibly try to humiliate him?” Almer replied, still keeping a smile on his face. “Then what about today? Your son-in-law even dared to ask Gerald to pour him a drink,” James said coldly. “If there had not been someone watching over Gerald, how could you have guessed my presence in Dandelion?” “This…” Almer wiped the sweat from his forehead, then quickly said

On the other side, after James left the café, he got into the car and headed toward the bustling Hawar district. Hades sat in the driver’s seat, while James leaned back in the rear seat with his eyes closed. Beside him, Gerald looked uneasy. “Sir, thank you for today. If it weren’t for you stepping in, I’m afraid Patrick wouldn’t have let me go so easily,” Gerald said sincerely. “This was nothing,” James replied calmly. “I heard you say that all your family’s assets have been taken over by someone named Moh from the Nelton Family? What exactly happened?” Since James had decided to support Gerald, he would back him to the end. His identity as the Grand Elder had been passed down directly, and now he had to settle the affairs of the Nelton Family. To James, the Nelton Family in Dandelion still felt unfamiliar. That was why he intended to make Gerald his spokesman within the family. Gerald let out a sigh, then spoke seriously, “All the industries under my name, including the group

In fact, before she left, Ray from the Hawar Hotel had even wanted to send a security team to accompany her. But Sheva refused. She was not yet used to such extravagance. “In that case, if you feel inconvenienced in Dandelion, I can arrange a car for you. That is nothing,” Mariana said in a lofty tone, clearly intending to show her superiority. “Sheva, I heard you are managing a jewelry company in Leeds, right? That was your family’s inheritance, wasn’t it?” Mariana took a sip of her coffee and continued with full confidence. “Did you come to Dandelion this time for business? I have many connections in the jewelry industry. If you want, I can easily arrange things for you.” Her voice was full of arrogance. “Sheva, it has been years since we met, yet Mariana is still the same as before. The two of you were once called the golden sisters of the campus. If you need help, Sheva, just speak to Mariana. Her influence in Dandelion is no joke,” one man said flatly. “That’s right. Mariana

To Mariana, the Sheva who was once adored by everyone was now nothing more than a joke. “This isn’t necessary. My husband is busy with a lot of things. Besides, he isn’t really close to everyone here,” Sheva said softly, trying to refuse politely. She had no intention of dragging James into such an embarrassing situation. “What could possibly keep him that busy?” a young woman scoffed. “If it’s about business, just ask your husband to come. Besides, what business deal can’t be handled through Mariana? Her influence in Dandelion is huge.” “That’s right, Sheva. We’re all curious about that so-called rejected son-in-law. What kind of qualifications does he have to marry our campus beauty?” a man said mockingly. “You still dare to talk about business? Sheva, stop making things up. You didn’t even have a car when you arrived in Dandelion. What could that useless man James possibly do?” a flamboyant young man sneered sharply. Sheva felt completely cornered. With Mariana being the most
