"Not much," Dixon replied calmly.

Sophia exchanged glances with Christen, both looking puzzled. What was really going on? They knew Yoruna’s family situation well. Diana was the only one working, while Yoruna had to care for William since he’d been paralyzed. They’d lived very frugally for years, so it made no sense for them to suddenly have that much money.

Tania hurried to the kitchen and returned with plates, and soon, the table was filled with eight or nine dishes.

Jaden’s wife, Naya, removed her apron and wiped the sweat from her forehead. “Everything’s ready! Please, everyone, enjoy the meal.”

Her face lit up when she saw Diana. “Diana, I’m sorry I was busy in the kitchen and couldn’t greet you earlier. This is your husband, right?”

"Hello, Auntie," Dixon greeted her warmly.

“Oh, hello!” she responded happily.

Sophia sneered at how polite Jaden’s wife was to Dixon and Diana, thinking to herself, “My sister-in-law sure knows how to treat people with money.”

“Daddy

    "The heir of Hamilton Group?" Sophia froze for a few seconds as if she had been hit by a cannonball. Then she started shouting again, "That's impossible! That worthless William could never inherit the assets of the Hamilton family!" "The old Hamilton Group has collapsed. Now there's a new Hamilton Group, with my father-in-law as the chairman, and Diana as the CEO," Dixon calmly continued. Sophia's face turned red with anger. She refused to believe any of this. Yoruna living a better life than hers? That couldn't be true! "I actually didn’t want Diana to come here and eat with people like you,” Dixon said with an ungracious attitude. "Grandpa, Diana and I have some business to attend to, so we won’t be dining with you today." Given the awkward atmosphere, Dixon knew that Diana also didn’t want to stay. He held Diana's hand and turned to leave. "Diana!" Jaden chased after them. "Don't be angry!" Diana shook her head, saying nothing. "If she wants to leave, let her! It's no

  • BIG BOSS, We Beg You!   90-A Sarcasm

    Diana didn’t say anything the entire way home. After a long silence, she finally looked at Dixon. "Am I foolish?" "How could my wife be foolish?" "You always say I'm kind-hearted, but being too kind is just as bad as being foolish, right?" Diana gave a bitter smile. "My eldest aunt has always looked down on my family. I don’t like her, but I can’t force myself to hate her just because she's my aunt." "But there are people in this world who don’t deserve my kindness, right?" Diana asked again. "You didn’t say anything today so I could realize this on my own, didn’t you?" Diana looked at Dixon, her tone serious. Dixon chuckled. "I just said my dear wife isn’t foolish; in fact, you're very smart." After Dixon’s response, Diana fell silent. She looked out the window, taking a deep breath after a moment. "Dixon, I realize I’m starting to like you." She didn’t look at Dixon, but her words made his heart skip a beat. *** "I didn't expect the Hamilton Group to actually chang

  • BIG BOSS, We Beg You!   91-Tarry

    "Diana!" Tarry shouted like a vengeful ghost. "Is this the type of person your company hires? Just wait and see!" She stormed out in a fury, her high heels clacking loudly. "Call in the cleaning staff and spray some air freshener in here. Why does it smell like rotting stench?" Dixon mocked Tarry. Tarry had just stepped one foot into the elevator when she heard the insult, and her rage flared up even more! Diana nearly burst out laughing at Tarry's furious expression. Her secretary and other staff members couldn't hold back either and laughed out loud. "Dixon, your eyesight is incredible! You can even spot her plastic surgeries!" Diana tried to stifle her laughter as she made her way to her office. "How did you know she had plastic surgery?" Diana turned to Dixon after a moment. "It's too obvious. The doctor who did it was probably a quack," Dixon replied with a straight face. Dixon's observational skills were incredibly sharp; he could even detect when someone was weari

    At the hotel... Nato stood by the large glass window. "Yes, Boss. I think it would be better if I handle this project myself. Tarry seems to have some personal issues that might affect her judgment," Nato said on the phone. "Don’t worry, Boss, I’ll take care of this." After ending the call, Nato turned to look at the photo and information on Diana that he had collected on the table. He had asked someone to investigate everything before arriving at the hotel. "Diana. She’s beautiful. A girl who looks so pure," Nato licked his lips. "A woman like this must be very pleasing." "A woman with beauty like hers choosing to marry a useless man? Maybe she just wanted to use someone insignificant as a shield. Quite a clever idea." "Modify the proposal for the Hamilton Group now and adjust it to my requirements," Nato immediately sent instructions to his secretary. "Diana, no woman who catches my interest can escape me!" *In the next room* Tarry lay in a bathtub full of bubbles. He

    “Get out! You don’t deserve to be the CEO Diana’s husband, and you definitely shouldn’t be sitting with me,” Nato sneered. “A homeless man leeching off his wife’s family, how amusing!” Nato laughed disdainfully. “HAHA! Leave now. Don’t disturb my dinner with CEO Diana.” “You’ve gone too far!” Diana snapped before Dixon could speak. Dixon had always protected her, so there was no way Diana would stand by while her husband was humiliated like this. “Apologize?” Nato was momentarily stunned before bursting into laughter. “CEO Diana, stop pretending. He’s just a shield; there’s no need to take him seriously. He’s not worthy of you.” “Besides, I’m a better match for you. CEO Diana, if you become my woman, I can boost the project’s profits by 5%. Trust me, it’s a small matter easily handled.” Nato's face was full of confidence. “I said, apologize to Dixon!” Diana glared at Nato. “You claim he’s not good enough for me, but the person who’s unworthy is you!” “I won’t let you insul

    Everyone waited to see where Paulo had come from and whether he had support from the north. Until they were certain of his background, anyone who acted rashly would surely die! Zokhu's heart suddenly pounded. He looked up anxiously, remembering that Nato had gone to Reddof to discuss some investment projects on behalf of Cita Group. "I have an urgent matter. I'll treat you next time!" Zokhu hurriedly stood up and tried to call Nato, but his call went unanswered. "Prepare the car; we need to head to Reddof immediately!" *** At Hamilton Office Suddenly, someone knocked on the office door. Diana panicked, leaping from Dixon’s embrace like a startled rabbit and quickly straightening her clothes, though a blush still lingered on her cheeks. "Come in!" Diana tried to appear calm, sitting back at her desk with a serious expression. It was Diana's female secretary, Arum, who entered. "CEO Diana, am I interrupting?" Arum glanced at Dixon, who was lounging on the sofa, sipping tea

    “Hurry! Direct everyone to the west!” “The other group, head east! We need to find this car as quickly as possible!” Cars raced off in every direction, and everyone could feel that something big was about to happen. Meanwhile, Zokhu, who had just arrived in Reddof, immediately sensed something was wrong. “What’s going on here? Why does the atmosphere feel like this?” A bad feeling crept over him. “Damn it! Why isn’t Nato answering his phone?” Zokhu tried calling repeatedly, but there was no answer. He knew something must have gone terribly wrong. “Where are they?” he asked anxiously. “We just got some information. They’re at the Loren Hotel!” replied one of his men. “Get there now!” Zokhu ordered, hoping Diana wasn’t hurt. If she was, Nato would surely be a dead man when he found out! *** Elsewhere, Dixon moved quickly. Those training at the facility had also received the news from Paulo. Gobu didn’t even have time to wipe the mud off his body, his eyes blazing with f

  • BIG BOSS, We Beg You!   96-The Real Devil!

    Dixon lifted one foot and kicked the door hard. Nato was just about to pounce on Diana when a massive explosion sounded behind him. The door flew inward and crashed loudly onto the floor. Nato spun around and roared angrily, "Who’s there?! Who dares interrupt me?!" Turning, the first thing he saw was Dixon, emanating a deadly aura. Nato narrowed his eyes. "He got here so quickly?" Dixon scanned the room and spotted Diana cowering in a corner, her face full of fear and tears, clutching a lamp handle tightly. "You really found your way here," taunted Nato, still oblivious to the danger he faced. "Right on time! It’s fascinating to see how I’ll leave here with your wife." Dixon moved, without a trace of hesitation. Like a rocket, he reached Nato in a flash. Dixon’s kick landed directly in Nato’s groin. “AHHH!!” Nato’s scream echoed throughout the room. Both his arms and legs broke, and his groin was drenched in blood. Fresh blood spilled as he rolled around on the floor,

    "I’ve already sent someone to follow her," Dixon said seriously, informing Paulo. "Ever since Beatrice left the North, someone’s been tailing her. I don’t know who it is, but this person is quite powerful. I have no idea where they’re from." "Keep tracking her and make sure Beatrice is safe." A murderous expression appeared on Dixon’s face.*** After leaving the Hamilton Group, Beatrice seemed a bit out of it. She kept replaying all their childhood memories and trying to match the Dixon from back then to the man she saw today. But no matter how hard she tried, they just didn’t fit. The man she saw earlier looked like a weakling who relied on his wife. He didn’t even dare raise his voice in front of Diana. How could he be the same Dixon who used to beat up other boys when they were kids? "Did he lose his memory? Or is he a different person?" Beatrice’s eyes turned a little red. She had come filled with anticipation, but was now leaving with disappointment. "Maybe he’s been dead fo

  • 440-Pretending to Not Know Her

    Dixon stopped and turned around to look at Beatrice strangely. “Who are you? Do you know me?” “I’m Beatrice!” Beatrice looked at Dixon and reached out her hand toward him. Her eyes quickly turned red. “I’m Beatrice! Don’t you remember me?” Dixon took two steps back and avoided her hand. He quickly responded, “I don’t know you! Beatrice? I’ve never heard that name before.” He didn’t know her? “You’re lying to me, aren’t you?” Beatrice’s eyes turned red as she looked at Dixon sadly. “You are him, I know I’m not mistaken. You’re Dixon from the Edric family in the north!” “Miss, I think you’ve mistaken me for someone else. My name is indeed Dixon, but I don’t think I’m the one you’re talking about,” Dixon said with a smile. “I’m here to pick up my wife from work, so please excuse me.” Dixon then began to walk away. “Stop right there!” Beatrice wouldn’t let him go. She grabbed Dixon’s arm and pushed up his sleeve. “Don’t try to lie to me! My bite mark should still be there, so you c

  • 439-Dixon!

    Diana let out a long sigh. She hadn’t expected this day to come so soon. Beatrice had come knocking on her door—for Dixon. That strong and aggressive woman wanted nothing but Dixon. She was even willing to give up the Mopp Group, the business empire she had built from scratch. Diana wasn’t the only one stunned by this. Even Sophia took a deep breath, afraid she might faint right then and there. What was going on?! Sophia had just told Diana she didn’t think Diana was inferior to Beatrice because Diana had Dixon as her husband—and every woman would be jealous of that. But now, Beatrice’s very first words were asking Diana to leave Dixon and return him to her? And she was willing to use the Mopp Group in exchange?! Oh my God!! Beatrice was talking about the Mopp Group. It was impossible to build a second Mopp Group in this world, and yet Beatrice wanted to use such a company just to get Dixon back? "I won’t trade him," Diana said seriously, staring at Beatrice. She pre

  • 438-Leave Dixon!

    Beatrice had no doubts. She immediately booked a flight and headed to Reddof. She was determined to confirm whether that man was really Dixon—the one she had known. After Beatrice left the northern region, Abraham received the news. “Sir, Miss Beatrice has gone to Reddof. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to keep this secret,” Jack said with a worried tone. The Mopp family no longer opposed Beatrice marrying Dixon, even though they were the ones who broke it off in the past. They must have suspected something. “Do you really think the Mopp family knows the truth? They’re just trying to test her. They’re not sure yet, so they’re letting Beatrice go to Reddof.” Naturally, the Mopp family believed that no matter how different Dixon looked now, Beatrice would still recognize him. Jack was surprised. “Sir, have you already made arrangements?” “I don’t need to arrange anything,” Abraham sneered. “Dixon is a smart boy. He drove off the Behnam family on the surface, but behind the scenes,

  • 437-You're Fired

    That night passed in silence. The grandmasters of the Behnam family had departed for Reddof, but by dawn, not a single word had been heard. Those watching the movements of the Behnam family and Reddof had waited all night, yet no information returned. It was as if Gavo had taken the eight other grandmasters on a stroll, then returned to the Northern Mountains without touching anything in Reddof. This stunned the powerful families of the north. They couldn’t believe what had happened. How could this be possible? The Behnam family had departed with grandeur—nine grandmasters moving as one, like dropping a massive bomb into a lake. But the result? Not even a ripple. The bomb fell... and simply floated, discarded. “I don’t want to see anyone!” Gavo roared in fury. “I don’t want to hear anything!” “Anyone who comes asking about Reddof will get no answer from the Behnam family!” Gavo hadn’t expected so many to come that morning—some openly, some in secret—just to find out what had

  • 436-We're Going Home

    Gavo wore no expression on his face, but a murderous intent had begun to stir within him. He sat in silence late into the night. His eyes were half-closed, his body motionless, as if frozen in place. Suddenly, he opened his eyes—now glowing with a sharp light. “Dixon… tonight, I’ll kill you.” He stood up and vanished into the darkness. *** At the Hamilton Group residence, a pot of delicious grilled fish was being served as the family's dinner. William and Diana had just returned from working overtime, famished. “The smell is incredible!” Diana said as she inhaled the aroma from the pot. Her eyes lit up. “I’m digging in first.” She looked around and noticed Dixon was missing. “Where’s Dixon? Isn’t he the one who loves food the most? Why hasn’t he shown up?” *** At that moment, Dixon was standing outside in the yard of the bungalow. A cigarette burned low between his fingers. He squinted as he spotted a figure approaching. “How pitiful. The head grandmaster of the Be

  • 435-They Were Kicked Out

    Dixon Edric was incredibly famous in Reddof! How could this be? That was what Gavo thought. There were men, women, the elderly, and children—and each of them was furious, filled with righteous anger. Even leaving Reddof safely was now a problem, let alone daring to stir up trouble for Dixon. Gavo’s lips trembled as he felt all the blood in his body surge. “This… this is what they meant by Reddof’s forbidden territory? So this is why it’s called forbidden!” Gavo had thought the term only referred to Reddof’s underworld, to Dixon and his gang. But now he realized the entire city and its people were united in protecting Reddof and keeping everyone inside it safe. “Master Gavo…” The grandmasters who had come with Gavo were pale. There were already nearly a thousand people, and more were still coming. They had never faced anything like this before! “Who’s causing trouble in Reddof?!” “Do you think the people of Reddof are easy to mess with?!” Shouts erupted all around. Their

  • 434-What...what Exactly Was Going On?

    Dixon would finish his training session and then pick up Diana from her office. The drama series he was following would air that night, so he had no time to get involved in the same old mud-slinging mess. "Understood, Big Boss," Paulo nodded and left. Dixon closed his eyes again. From the sounds of the training, he could already gauge the progress of the trainees. He truly didn’t care about the Behnam family. *** Meanwhile, Gavo’s expression was grim. He was a grandmaster. He had come to Reddof personally, and yet Dixon had the audacity to say he didn’t have time to see him?! How arrogant! Did Dixon think the Behnam family was something to be trifled with? Gavo was nearly seventy years old, and yet he had never been humiliated like this. The middle-aged men with him were practically bloodthirsty, itching to tear Dixon apart. However, thirty men stood in front of them, their faces expressionless. "Sorry, our Big Boss is currently very busy and not accepting guests. Pleas

  • 433-I Don't Have Time

    But the people of Reddof had gone too far! They had used dirty tricks and shamelessly uttered bold words. They truly had no respect for Gavo at all. Now, everyone was watching from all sides, waiting to see how the Behnam family would respond. If Gavo backed down, the Behnam family’s reputation would be utterly destroyed. *** The second day passed. The Behnam family still hadn't gone to Reddof. Whispers began circulating among the powerful families of the North. “It seems that the one pulling the strings in Reddof is no simple person. The Behnams are scared!” “Gavo’s just trying to hold on to the last shreds of his reputation. So many have died in Reddof! Even a grandmaster like Ali Behnam was killed by someone from Reddof!” “Didn’t they give Reddof three days? There’s still one day left, so what’s the rush?” “You believe that? The Behnams have definitely backed down! They wouldn’t dare set foot in Reddof!” All these rumors only made the Behnam family angrier than e
