Shirley walked briskly in her high heels, her steps hurried yet graceful.The wind caught the hem of her dress, making it flutter, while her hair swayed along with it.As Shirley moved, her mind raced, trying to figure out how to start the conversation with Daniel. When she spotted him, her cheeks flushed without her even realizing it.She had faith in Daniel. If he could cure her, surely he could cure Tristan's grandfather as well.Jonathan stood still, watching Shirley leave, but this time, he didn't try to stop her. Instead, his brows furrowed as he sank into deep thought. 'Tristan is turning to Daniel for help. If Daniel really manages to cure Joshua, won't Shirley and Tristan's marriage fall apart? Should I send Brian to intercept Daniel and kill him?'The Scott family's survival depended on Shirley and Tristan's marriage.As the wealthiest family in Jerovania City, the Scotts were a tempting prize for the other four major families, all of whom were circling like vultures, waitin

Daniel seized Henry by the hair and dragged him toward the door with brutal force, his strides quick and unyielding, radiating an aura of unrestrained fury.When they entered the room next door, they found Ellis sprawled on the bed, a woman perched on top of him.The two were so immersed in their moment of pleasure that they remained completely unaware of the storm about to descend on them.The woman was the first to notice the intrusion. She froze, then let out a shrill scream that shattered the intimacy of the scene. Scrambling, she grabbed a blanket to cover herself, her face pale with fear and shame."Daniel?" Ellis's eyes narrowed with venomous hatred as soon as he recognized the intruder. His glare was sharp, brimming with the desire to rip Daniel apart.With a heavy thud, Daniel flung Henry onto the floor in front of Ellis like a discarded piece of garbage."Dad!" Ellis's voice cracked with horror, disbelief etched on his face. He never imagined that his once-proud father would

"Dad, what's going on? How did this happen?" Shirley's face was streaked with tears, her expression of utter despair tugging at anyone's heart.Jonathan let out a heavy sigh, his eyes clouded with helplessness and regret. "It's a trap. The Collins family joined forces with several others to bring us down. Their goal is to swallow up the Scott family."His voice was low and hoarse as if the weight of the situation had aged him overnight.Jonathan turned to Daniel, his gaze carrying a rare hint of pleading. "Daniel, I was wrong before. Please, protect Shirley. The four major families are nothing but a pack of monsters!"His voice shook, laden with worry for his daughter's future."Don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one will hurt Shirley." Daniel's tone was firm and resolute, his eyes burning with determination as if he could shield her from any storm."Good! I believe in you!" Jonathan sighed again. He had fallen into their trap, and he knew it would take years to climb out of the aby

But Yolanda's hand lingered on Daniel's pants.When she saw no resistance from him, she slowly unzipped them, revealing what lay beneath."Oh my god!" she gasped, her eyes widening. "That's... incredible. Are you part African or something?"Daniel didn't bother explaining. Things had already gone this far—there was no point in pretending anymore. If Yolanda wanted it, so be it.Noting Daniel's expression, Yolanda pulled her hair back into a tie and bent down.Daniel ran his fingers through her hair. She followed his lead perfectly.Daniel wasn't passive either. His hand found its way under Yolanda's skirt.She glanced up at him before continuing what she was doing.Then they got down to it.Yolanda lay across the seat, looking back at him. "Please be gentle. I've never done this before!""Never? But weren't you married?" Daniel asked."I was, but my husband died on our wedding day. His family blamed me, called me cursed, and threw me out. I haven't been with anyone since. You should f

Chloe maintained her composure. Her appearance with Daniel today was a conscious choice. She wouldn't let Ethan's words provoke her.She had developed genuine feelings for Daniel.He'd proven himself responsible and capable."How dare you spread lies about him here, Ethan! You're despicable!" Shirley snapped.Daniel fixed Ethan with an icy stare, emphasizing each word. "Think you can hide your dirty secrets forever, Ethan?"Ethan's heart jumped, but he kept his facade. "Stop trying to intimidate me, Daniel. The evidence proves you raped Chloe!""I chose to be with Daniel. It's none of your business," Chloe defended.The words hit Ethan like a physical blow. His face drained of color, eyes widening in disbelief."Chloe... what did you just say?" Ethan stammered, pointing at her with a trembling finger.Chloe remained steady, repeating, "I said I chose to be with him. That's my choice, not your business."Ethan struggled for breath. "Have you lost your mind, Chloe? How can you say that?
