Caleb wanted to pretend as if he hadn't heard her when Don shouted at the end of the call. "Caleb paid me millions to assassinate Mr. Holmes..." What?! Everyone around was stunned. Caleb instantly ended the call with Don. However, all eyes were now fixated on him. They all had more than a million questions to ask him. Caleb quickly wanted to make an amendment as he said, "It's not what you think. You shouldn't trust Don's word more than mine. Should you?" Margaret's eyes raised slightly, and she asked her father, "Really? If we shouldn't believe Don's words but yours, why did you end the call abruptly when he was about to explain things?" "I'm only preventing him from causing misunderstanding with the trash he was saying." Margaret wasn't taking it lightly with her father. "Oh, I see. But we are not kids. We know what is false and true when we hear them." "That's not true!" Caleb argued. At that moment, his phone began to ring, and it was Don Julio calling him.
Chapter 522
Later at night, at the entrance of Crescent Restaurant, Clara, Douglas, and Felicia were seen entering the restaurant. Clara was the one taking the lead. She was the brain behind this outing. After what happened the other day between Douglas and Roderick, Clara had been looking for a way to amend things with Douglas. She needed the young man very close to them so they could benefit from him. He had just returned from overseas, so, to Clara, they could make him Santos Corporation's messiah. Douglas wouldn't have agreed to this outing if Clara had not promised to bring her daughter along. With that, he could have the opportunity to link up with her again, and whatever he wished for at the end of the day, he could have it. What a mother Clara was. As for Felicia, she had only agreed to show up at the outing because her mother had fed her enough lies about the goodies Douglas had promised to help their company with. Even though it was very tough for Felicia to believe her

Douglas wiped his mouth as he finished eating. Then, he said to Felicia,"Babe, the business discussion is not something so serious since I have everything under control."Douglas adjusted himself in his seat, appearing pompous again before he continued."I heard there is a company, the Bolton Group, which seems to be at the apex of the construction business world in Glacia City. Babe, forget about them because the Santos Corporation will take over in just a few weeks."Clara instantly interjected. "Didn't I tell you about it, Felicia?" The old woman was over the moon.However, Felicia hadn't found the point about what she was happy about.Isn't talk cheap?Anybody can say anything with their mouth even though it's a purely delusional statement.Douglas saw how unconvincing Felicia looked and quickly added,"Here's the good news, darling. The company I'm working with abroad is interested in establishing a housing estate in Glacia City, and the whole construction project has been assig

"Oh no! Not today again," Roderick muttered through clenched teeth as he saw Clara in the distance. Caleb had made arrangements for everything necessary and was already inside the restaurant. It was just up to Roderick to join him there now. Who could have thought that he would meet this senseless woman here? Finding out it wasn’t only her, but Douglas and her foolish daughter, Felicia, were present too, made his headache multiply. He wasn’t ready for any drama from any of them. Not even this time, at all. Roderick could only blame his luck for coming across such a bunch of foolish people here. If he had had any idea he might encounter them here, he would have told Caleb to arrange another route to get into the restaurant. Roderick wanted to pretend he didn’t see her and walk away, but Clara instantly ran like a madwoman to block his path. "Haha! Do you think you can really run away?" With a straight face, Roderick said to her, "Get out of my way. I don’t have time
Chapter 525
However, Felicia was shocked to hear that. She couldn't believe her mother had already arranged the plans. What a master planner she was. But what made her even think so delusionally highly to this point? They hadn't gotten the housing project to work on, and her mother had already married her to Douglas in her mind. She had even imagined they had children in her delusional world. Wow! What a wow! She was still spouting nonsense before Roderick. "The only person who made you marry my daughter in the past was the sleeping old man or maybe a dead man. Don't even think that he could get you back with my daughter again, not even if he ever wakes up! Haha!" Out of all the nonsense Clara had been saying, none was as painful to Roderick as this. He hated it with the depth of his heart whenever Oliver Santos' sickness was mocked. Roderick didn't know how to describe the pain that surfaced in his heart when he discovered Oliver had been struck with global amnesia. If for no oth
Chapter 526
Douglas had just recovered from the shock and was about to question Roderick about what he meant by his statement, but he had already left. What Roderick had just hinted at was his top secret. He couldn't understand how he had learned about it. He could only turn around to look at Felicia and Clara to see if they had caught a glimpse of it so that he would know how to defend himself if he got questioned. Luckily for him, the duo were still reeling from the revelation Roderick had made to them about Oliver Santos waking up. This made him sigh with relief. He did know about the news of Oliver Santos falling into a coma in the past. He wondered why the news of the old man becoming healthy now had made Felicia and her mother restless. Clara at this moment was pacing back and forth inside the restaurant, totally confused. She might hate Roderick so much, but she knew he didn't tell lies. If he did say the old man has woken up, it means he had really woken up. Now, Clara d
Chapter 527
Of course, she would be more than happy to marry such a capable and mysterious man as Roderick. But she knew of one obstacle—Miss Bolton. She knew their relationship might not be made public, but she could sense something going on between them. And Kate Bolton, being the Ice Princess of River City, didn't see anyone else as suitable to be Roderick's woman. Roderick is a wonderful man, and Kate is a wonderful woman too. So, she saw them as a perfect match. As for the proposal her father had just made, she was afraid of the result. All she knew was that if Kate could give her the chance to be Roderick's side chick, she would be more than glad. The silence lingered for a moment before Roderick slowly dropped his wine glass and said, "I so much appreciate your kind heart, Mr. Houston. But it would be inappropriate for me to accept your offer." Caleb was shocked to hear that. "Why? Is there any problem? Please, mention it and we will get it solved. Or is my daughter not
Chapter 528
Having accepted reality, Caleb gathered the courage to say to Roderick, "Mr. Holmes, I know I don't have power over your decisions, but there is a reason I want Felicia to marry you." Roderick felt interested and asked, "You should tell me the reason." Caleb nodded slowly and said, "Felicia is battling a health issue that only a man like you can understand." Oh! Roderick's face lit up as he heard that and asked, "What health issue is that?" At this moment, Felicia became more embarrassed, as she didn't believe her father would really expose it. Without hesitation, Caleb disclosed, "She's suffering from sexual arousal disorder." Upon hearing that, Roderick's look became less worried and he asked Caleb, "Is that all?" "Yes. It has been an issue we have been unable to solve even after meeting renowned doctors in the city." Roderick waved a hand and said, "It's treatable." Caleb's face widened in surprise. "Really? Mr. Holmes, would you be willing to save my daughter
Chapter 529
Chapter 529Caleb had just gone down to the standard dining area to wait for his daughter to receive treatment.Upon settling in a seat in a special area near the reception, Douglas, whose mind hadn't been at rest since Roderick hinted about his secret, saw Caleb in the distance.With a squinted face, he asked Clara, who was lost in thought over her worries."Isn't that Mr. Houston?"Clara raised her head and saw the elderly man. She answered Douglas, "Yes, it's really him. He is..."Douglas didn't even bother to listen to what else Clara wanted to say as he dashed out of his seat to approach the man.He knew Caleb Houston as one of the fastest rising powers in Glacia City before he left abroad.By the looks of things now, he could tell that Caleb had attained a prominent position in the city. For that reason, he wanted to be close friends with him.If not for any other reason, at least Clara and her daughter would see him as a person with high privilege ahead of them.Being a grandch

"Yes, Mr. Houston. The needful has been done," Roderick answered the elderly man calmly, which made the man look extremely excited."Thank you so much, Mr. Holmes. I will be forever grateful to you," Caleb said genuinely, adding to the shocked expressions of Douglas and the rest.They were wondering what Roderick had done for the man to make him so polite and appreciative.They were in the middle of that when Caleb asked his daughter, who was hiding behind Roderick, blushing. "Margaret, how was it?"However, Margaret only answered with a nod and a small smile on her face."Hehe! It's good that you are now a complete lady," Caleb said jokingly to his daughter.Meanwhile, to Clara and the rest, they were trying to comprehend what Caleb meant by his words.Roderick and Margaret had just exited the VIP space, and Caleb was referring to his daughter being a complete lady now.What was that supposed to mean?Not even Douglas or the rest of them were ready to believe the thought that came in
