Kate's brows suddenly rose in concern. She wondered why Zachary had said that. "Did I wrong you in some way, Mr. Zachary? Why do you think of canceling the trip?"Kate had known him to be cold and unpredictable, and she had always been careful whenever she dealt with him. She couldn't remember if she had unknowingly offended him in the past, which might be why he wanted to cancel his visitation after they had already agreed.However, the elderly man exhaled silently before he answered. "You have me wrong, Miss Bolton. You have never wronged me. I only thought of canceling the trip after I couldn't find the rare root you requested despite all my efforts."Roderick's heart instantly sank in his stomach upon hearing this, and so did Kate's.The War King had high expectations of Zachary based on this news he had just disclosed. Meeting him, a rare root specialist, Roderick had thought his stress about searching for the remaining rare roots to treat Oliver Santos would come to an end.Unfo

At this time, on the first floor of the Eclipse Hotel, the Santos family and Jonah were happily having their dinner and sharing gist.Just then, Jonah got up with a smile and said, "Enjoy your meal, everyone. I will be back in a few minutes."They all nodded at the young heir, and Clara responded, "It's all right, Mr. Quinton. Don't stay too long so you won't miss any gist."Hearty laughter erupted among them as Clara said this."I promise I won't stay long," Jonah said. Then, he secretly went outside and made a call._______________Kate and Roderick were in the comfort suite. They had tried their best to persuade Zachary to give them the Grand Unity Herb.However, Zachary's words remained the same. He insisted on not giving it out, as the master who gave it to him warned him to keep it dearly.Moreover, the master made it known to him that the herb would save him from an untimely death someday.For this reason, the elderly man couldn't trade the herb for anything in this world.What

While Kate's mind was still worried about Zachary's health, the elderly man turned to her and asked with a subtle smile, "Miss Bolton, I heard that you visited Glacia City for business. How is it going so far?"Kate was silent for a moment before she managed to nod her head and replied shortly, "Yes, business is fine.""Very well, then. The Bolton Group has always succeeded in all its endeavors. Your investment here in Glacia City will be a great success, too. Haha!" Zachary said happily.He was Mr. Bolton's senior apprentice and knew a great deal about the Bolton family.The Bolton family's ancestors had always been successful throughout their lives. They have remained at the top of the construction industry in River City over the years, and no competing company has reached their level.Almost all the members of the family work within the Bolton family business, except for a few who have other ventures. One of them is the present Mr. Bolton Senior, who owns the biggest museum in Rive

Clara's eyes were blazing with fire as she turned to Roderick. "You're such a stupid liar, Roderick. How can you be so thoughtless to think a day like this would never come, a day when all your secrets will be exposed?"She glared at Roderick from where she stood and asked, "Do you mean a grown-up lady like Susan could be so daft that she wouldn't recognize who had been sleeping with her for more than a year? How does that make any sense to you?"She nodded slowly, as if she had just discovered something, and said, "I have always noticed that you usually avoided her when you were still living in our villa. I thought you were doing that because you were a responsible person and respected my daughter.""Who could have thought that you are a shameless dog who lies around with any woman? No dignity! No shame! You are nothing but an embarrassment to my daughter!" Clara screamed at him in disgust.Her heart twirled in irritation as she thought of how disrespectful it was for her daughter's

Jonah's eyes blinked in shock as the crowd cleared to the side, leaving him the center of attention.He was seriously cursing Clara inwardly for bringing him into such a mess. Even if he had told them the Big Four helped secure the partnership, wasn’t she supposed to keep the news to herself?Was the show-off really necessary?Given that it was all a complete lie, Jonah was confused about how to help himself in this situation.He regretted not leaving the Santos family behind and leaving the hotel earlier.Now, he was before the Big Four, whom he had lied to by claiming he spoke to them on behalf of the Santos Corporation to support them and secure the partnership with the Bolton Group.How was he going to help himself now without losing face before the Santos family and the public in general?Moreover, how was he going to help himself without the Big Four considering him unreasonable? He was just starting to improve his relationship with them; it wasn’t supposed to end like this.Cal
