Garrett was currently struggling, working as a PR representative for products at a 24/7 supermarket. Since being blacklisted, the Goodrich family was no longer what it used to be, and friction had arisen between her and Leopold. She was forced into the streets to hustle for jobs she had previously considered beneath her."Yes... and you are?" Garrett frowned, truly unable to recall knowing anyone like this. In truth, she had long grown weary of this life. She was a young lady who had been pampered since birth; now, she was wallowing in the very indignities she once despised. Garrett now understood why girls with a bit of beauty wanted to crawl into the beds of the wealthy. She felt the same way now—as long as she could escape this situation, she would do anything."I am the driver for Mrs. Jamieson.""Mrs. Jam

While Michael and Carlo were on their way back to the base at Heavenly Sword Mountain, they didn't expect to run into Ryan MacCoinnich and James MacCoinnich again."Talk about a small world," Michael remarked.He glanced at Carlo, whose expression remained calm. But in a sharp contrast to their previous attitude, Ryan and James stepped out of their vehicle and bowed respectfully."Please, sir, give me a chance to apologize," James shouted, completely disregarding his pride.Carlo furrowed his brows, swerved the car to avoid them, and drove straight past."Uncle, they didn't—""Even if they refuse, we must persist. If something happens to the MacCoinnich family, do you think

Upon seeing Garrett appear, Duncan frowned slightly, sensing that this situation was far from simple.Edward, on the other hand, looked rather awkward. Since his release from prison, he had heard the rumors regarding Garrett and Leopold, as well as their scheme to frame both him and Duncan.Yet, meeting her again now... he didn't know how to face her. Garrett was, after all, the woman Edward had always kept in his heart."You’re... here too?" Edward asked, his voice laced with hesitation."Is there some reason you can be here and I can't?" Garrett replied, showing not a hint of guilt.When she saw Duncan with Edward, she assumed they were as close as ever, which only fueled her disdain. Look at her now; after Duncan had

Duncan quickly broke into a smile—the most relaxed smile he had shown yet. It wasn't because his opponent was terrified, but because his intuition had been proven correct.In truth, he hadn't been entirely certain that the Mackenzie family was that massive, mysterious clan; their influence originated primarily from overseas.Consequently, after investigating time and again without finding a single trace, it was only when he discovered that the mysterious family was based in the East that he began to piece it together."Do you remember Edward and Duncan?"Duncan asked him.Sir Samuel frowned, a flicker of familiarity crossing his features."Actually, how could a great family like yours bother to remember such common names?""You were the masterminds behind the frame-up. Your goal was the gene-enhancement formula—the one that could cure brain diseases, wasn't it?"Though it was phrased as a question, Duncan's tone was

Jake Vaughn quickly returned to the Vaughn family estate. His primary concern at the moment wasn't visiting Anna Templeton, but rather why their confidence votes had fallen behind those of the Templeton family.Not to mention, Anna Templeton had somehow been inducted into the Cabinet, while he had seen no movement regarding his own prospects.What did this signify?If he married Anna Templeton in the future, he would likely have to live in her shadow."Father, what happened with the confidence votes?" Jake Vaughn demanded to know."And there's the MacCoinnich family too... Didn't you say the General was the one who could influence things? Well, look at us now. It turns out the person from that mysterious family was the one wi
