Olympus Reach General Hospital."Coming through! Emergency!"Alaric burst through the hospital doors, clutching his unconscious daughter, his voice cracking with urgency. "Doctors! Help my daughter, please!"Medical staff rushed forward, swiftly transferring the child from his arms into the emergency room."Stop! Family can't enter!"A nurse in pale blue scrubs blocked Alaric's path just as the sharp staccato of heels echoed through the corridor—each click striking his heart like a mallet."Alaric!"Jade's voice sliced through the chaos.*SMACK!*The slap landed with brutal clarity. Jade stood trembling before him, her glistening eyes burning with fury. "If our daughter dies because of you, I'll never forgive you!"Her words hung frozen in the air, heavy with rage. The scene drew gasps from nearby patients and visitors.Alaric kept his head bowed, offering no defense."Tch!"Jade's contemptuous scoff made her feelings painfully clear. Even strangers could see the disdain radiating fro

"Money? Who the hell said I couldn't get it?" Alaric glared icily at Elandor.Elandor froze mid-step, his face hardening like stone.Then—under the man's stunned gaze—Alaric hurled the plastic bag directly at Elandor and Jade's feet.CRACK!The bag burst open, vomiting ten thick stacks of crimson bills across the floor—a bloody flood of cash that made both their pupils dilate.Elandor's left eye twitched violently. His lips trembled as his manicured fingers curled into white-knuckled fists.Jade's breath hitched, her delicate features cycling through shock, confusion, then cold fury as she stared at the money.Where did this bastard get 100,000 yuan?If he had it all along, why make me endure this humiliating charade?Playing nice with another man while our daughter lies sick—does he think this is easy for me?"This covers everything I owe you." Alaric's voice could have flash-frozen hell. "Take it and never come back."Elandor didn't immediately reach for the cash. To a man who drove

"What are you doing here?" Jade's delicate brows furrowed as she eyed the Bentley beside Alaric. Did he just get out of that car?Is this really my good-for-nothing husband?Or do delivery guys get Bentleys these days?"I... I was just..." Alaric stammered, shooting a glance at Gideon grinning like a blooming chrysanthemum through the window.The old man quickly reached out his hand. "Let me buy you dinner to thank you."Alaric chuckled politely, "No need, sir. You should get going." His voice was edged with urgency.Without another word, Gideon gave a courteous nod to Jade before his driver sped away.Jade's eyes nearly popped out of her head.Wasn't that... Mr. Hale, chairman of Nexora Group?The wealthiest man in Olympus Reach!And Alaric was in his car?!"You know Gideon?" Jade whirled around in astonishment.Alaric shrugged. "Don't know him. The old guy was lost, so I showed him the way."Old guy?Jade's lips quivered in fury. Calling the richest man in town an 'old coot'? The ne

The sleek Bentley glided to a stop outside Lumière, the most exclusive restaurant in all of Olympus Reach.This wasn't just any dining establishment—it was a fortress of privilege where only the city's elite could gain entry.Membership required not just wealth, but a minimum annual spend of one million just to be considered.And now, the restaurant's grand entrance was flanked by an unusual sight—Ethan Caldwell, the silver-haired titan of Horizon Trade Group, stood waiting with his entire executive team in perfect formation.As the billionaire art magnate worth three billion, Ethan was no stranger to luxury. His reputation as a collector of rare antiquities was legendary in elite circles.Yet here he stood like an anxious schoolboy, his usually impeccable suit damp with nervous sweat as he scanned the street for his mysterious guest.The spectacle sent shockwaves through arriving patrons. A well-dressed couple froze mid-step, their champagne flutes trembling. "Is that... Ethan Caldwe

At the front desk.Sabrina flashed the card with a condescending smirk, deliberately waving it before Alaric (Chen Ping). "Check if this can book a private room," she sneered.The whole crowd barely contained their laughter, eagerly awaiting Alaric's humiliation.The girl at the counter swiped the card, her face immediately paling. "Ma'am, does this belong to you?" she asked nervously.Sabrina shook her head, pointing her red-nailed finger at Alaric amid the crowd. With a mocking laugh, she declared, "Not mine. It's his."Hah!This is too funny! Alaric's gonna get exposed!Even Jade's losing face over this.How satisfying! Who asks to get humiliated like this?Sabrina was thrilled beyond words, shooting Jade a triumphant look before taunting, "Ms. Kingsley, your husband is really something special."Jade's face burned with humiliation. She gave Alaric a death stare, about to scold him when the receptionist rushed over, bowing respect
