But Grandmother Rhodes didn't give him a chance to say another word. She slammed her walking cane against the ground.

THUMP!

"That's enough." She glared at her eldest son and slowly stood up. "I don't want to hear anymore of this, Cedric. And shut your wife up."

Cedric's outstretched finger curled back into his palm, his other fingers clenching into a fist. He swallowed his grievance and pulled his sobbing wife into his embrace.

"Alana is right. If people see our family arguing like this, our r

  • 34: Perfect Place For Murder

    "This..." Alessia's lips parted in shock as she stared at her reflection in the mirror.The Crimson Lotus now covered half of her face, making it even more conspicuous than the scars had been.Previously, she could at least conceal her scars with her hair or a veil. But how was she supposed to hide this enormous flower covering half her face?She looked even more unsightly now. How was she supposed to go out like this?As if Jordan understood her fears, he immediately reassured her. "Don't worry. By noon tomorrow, your scars will be completely healed."He carefully adjusted a corner of the Lotus that was beginning to peel away from her face. "I will personally remove this Lotus and restore your peerless beauty.""Hm." Alessia nodded, still doubtful of his words. Nevertheless, she was willing to trust him for now."Now, go to sleep." His fingers gently brushed through her soft hair. "When you wake up tomorrow, everything will be different. From then on, every day of your life will be d

  • 33: I Already Accepted All Of You

    Michael's luxury sedan slowly pulled up in front of a small clinic in the suburbs of the city. It was a newly established clinic commissioned by the Hargrove family.Michael had already given a few instructions before their arrival, so as soon as they entered the clinic, the staff immediately led them to a private ward.Jordan wrote down a prescription and handed the note to Michael. "Please, ask someone to fetch all the medicines on this list."Michael could have easily instructed one of his staff members to get the medicines. But for some reason, he was actually excited to serve Jordan himself."I'll go." He took the note and immediately turned around. "I'll be right back."After Michael left, Alessia, who was now lying on the bed, slowly removed her veil. She hesitated for a moment before calling out softly. "Jordan.""Hm?" Jordan wheeled his chair closer to the bed so he could be beside her and look directly into her eyes.But even then, Alessia refused to raise her head. She lowe

  • 32: Blood Lotus

    Alessia's eyes stung with tears that she desperately held back. But she didn't dare hope for too much. She lowered her head in shame and shook it."Jordan, it's useless." Her fingers slowly traced the edges of her veil. "My scars can't be healed anymore."She had lived with these horrifying scars for so long that they had become a part of her.She had already visited countless doctors and tried different treatments, yet none of them could restore her damaged skin completely.She had eventually accepted that the scars would remain with her for the rest of her life. She wouldn't dare hope for a miracle that was too good to be true.It would be better if Jordan asked Michael Hargrove for something else. Something that could actually be useful to him. Wasting so many resources on an old scar would only lead to disappointment.But Jordan remained firm. There was absolute confidence in his voice. "Believe me. I can heal your scars.""Since you're so confident, Master H.J., I can help." Mich

  • 31: If You Want To Die, Go Ahead!

    Now, outside the old family residence, Cedric finally managed to catch his breath. But when his eyes fell on Jordan, he couldn't help but become infuriated all over again."You bastard!" he scolded furiously. "If you want to die, go ahead. But don't drag my family into your mess!"He pointed back toward the villa and snapped, "Don't you know that General Kane isn't someone you should offend? Now you've caused trouble for us too!"But Jordan remained calm and composed. He shook his head. "Don't worry. He won't dare, nor does he have the ability to do anything."He looked completely confident as he reassured them. "With me here, not even the Dragon General can touch a hair on your head.""Nonsense!" Cedric snapped, clearly not buying a single word. "What makes you think you're so powerful? Just because you're Master H.J.? A mere painter who can fight against bullets?""No." Jordan shook his head and calmly corrected him. "Because I am the Master of Heaven Pavilion. Even if they wanted t

  • 30: Punishable By Death!

    Darius Kane was infuriated beyond imagination. His eyes turned bloodshot, and his expression became as gloomy as a stormy sky.The atmosphere changed drastically. A suffocating pressure suddenly filled the hall, and everyone inexplicably trembled in fear. Everyone except Jordan."Very good." Even Darius' voice sounded chilling, sending shivers down everyone's spine. "I really underestimated your courage, Jordan.""Today..." His eyes shone with murderous intent and his finger tightened around the pistol in his clothes. "You are going to pay for that slap with your life."Without another word, he pulled out the pistol and pressed the cold muzzle directly against Jordan's forehead.The crowd panicked and immediately began retreating. Some of the more cowardly guests even ran out of the hall."My children are still young!" a woman cried as she hurried away."Me too!"The rest of the crowd watched in horror, too frightened to move as they waited to see what would happen.Alessia trembled a
