The Mill family villa had been their residence for over a decade. Though it still looked imposing, it was outdated and dilapidated.Located in a poor area, it could only fetch a few million dollars if sold.The Tomson Yipin villa, however, was a hundred times more luxurious, and the old matriarch had long coveted it. But without the funds, purchasing it was out of the question.Now, upon learning that Allen owned the largest villa in Tomson Yipin—and with Jared’s persuasion—she firmly believed that as the family head, she deserved to enjoy this luxury first!Just as the old matriarch was dreaming of moving into the Tomson Yipin villa, Jared said, "Mother, I plan to send someone to Neon City soon to invite the Caroline family for a visit.I also intend to subtly suggest they betroth Caroline to Carlson. What do you think?"The old matriarch sighed, "Last time Carlson abandoned Caroline and fled, I’m afraid she holds quite a grudge against him."Jared replied, "I believe such trivial ma

Gilmore let the tea stream down his face, then raised his head coldly."Mother, if there's nothing else, we'll be going now," he said.With that, he turned to Allen and Mia beside him and said, "Let's go," before walking straight out the door without looking back.Mia wiped away her tears, shot a bitterly resentful glance at the crowd in the grand hall, and turned to leave without hesitation.Allen didn't even glance at the others before following suit.This enraged Jared to the point of near explosion!The previous night, Jared had conspired with the old matriarch of the Mill family to devise a meticulous plan against Allen's household.Today, they deliberately created a solemn atmosphere: the matriarch would intimidate Gilmore, while Jared would pretend to mediate—one playing the strict enforcer, the other the compassionate negotiator—to trick Gilmore into willingly handing over the villa to the Mill family.If he resisted, they would force him to comply.In Jared's view, Gilmore ha

Jared gritted his teeth and said, "Mom, if we let them go today, it will lead to endless troubles!"A swelling had risen on the face of the Mill family's matriarch. Upon hearing this, she grew even angrier.She suddenly struck Jared's leg with her cane and cursed, "Useless fools! All of you are good-for-nothings!If you won't let him go, why don't you go up and stop him?!"Carlson let out screams as he rolled on the ground, a mix of hatred and fear in his voice."No, I can't swallow this humiliation. If I can't live in this villa, neither can you."After exchanging a glance with his trusted bodyguards and briefly bandaging his finger, Carlson led them out the door and headed straight for Tomson Yipin.The Mill matriarch took several deep breaths to suppress her anger and snapped, "You have little ability but plenty of venomous words!"Jared said viciously, "Alan, how dare you break Carlson's finger and cause a scene in the Mill family mansion?You are unforgivable!"The matriarch slam

But Alan wouldn’t tell Mia these things for now.After all, with his treatment, this injury wouldn’t escalate to such a serious level.After examining Gilmore, he said, "Mia, I’m going out for a bit to get some medicine for Dad’s injury."The True Yuan Bible contained many medicinal pills with the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.Even casually refining one would be enough to treat his father-in-law.Mia asked curiously, "What medicinal herbs are you buying? Will they work? Why don’t we go to the hospital?"Alan smiled faintly and said, No need for the hospital. Many doctors deliberately scare people and exaggerate the situation.If Dad hears that, he’ll worry again.I have a prescription that’s very effective for bruises.Mia nodded.Just as Alan pushed the door to go out, he almost collided with someone coming in.Alan focused his gaze and realized it was Bertrand, the head of the Brown family.He asked in surprise, "Bertrand? Do you need something fro

The Mill family matriarch was now reeling as if struck by lightning!How could this happen?Was Alan really so powerful that even the Hardy family had broken ties with the Mill family?Just thinking about it made her heart ache with dread.She wanted to beg Gustav not to abandon the Mills at this critical moment, but he ignored her completely.After announcing the engagement cancellation, he left with Saul.Tasha collapsed into sobs. She had given everything to Saul, even carrying his child, but now it was all gone.This fueled a deep-seated hatred for her grandmother in her heart.Her father, Jared, was also deeply depressed. He had followed the matriarch in opposing his younger brother's family, yet gained nothing in return.Worse still, his son was injured and arrested, while his daughter had been cast aside by her fiancé's family.He complained to the matriarch, Mom, I've always done as you said, but our family has suffered too much from this!The matriarch tried to steady their n
