They can only bark
"Mrs. Zhenyu sent for him," Jason announced, "She wants to will her shares to the heir ASAP so he can start running the Zhenyu business."Master Feng was an angry man who would do anything to reclaim the heir position for his family. The sooner they acted, the better. Edward on the other hand was beginning to understand the family he had just entered, that was the reason he had spoken up.The man who walked in was Jay, the family physician. He was there to match Edward's kinship DNA and determine if there was any trace of Zhenyu blood. Mrs. Zhenyu and Jason had contacted him earlier, but he had refused to proceed without the entire family present."Good day, Mrs. Zhenyu. I'm here for the kinship testing, as requested," Jay said."The young man is the one over there." Jason pointed toward Edward.Master Feng's vision blurred, and he staggered backward. He clutched his chest, which had suddenly grown tight, and began gasping for breath."Dad!" Arthur quickly grabbed Master Feng. "You n
Not like his father
"Hold it right there!" Mrs. Zhenyu yelled, using her hand to gesture for Arthur not to come closer. Irritation dripped from her voice. "That son of yours can't be the next heir! Who's going to pick him? Me?" She hissed. "I already have the rightful heir, Li Zhenyu" she point at Edward.Everyone in the room froze in shock.Edward was surprised at the strength of the old lady. This was someone he'd helped walk in here because she'd seemed so fragile, how could she suddenly have such power? Edward almost laughed as Mrs. Zhenyu's expression still showed she was angry. She was surely a no-nonsense woman.Master Feng's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. Mrs. Zhenyu seemed to have recovered and returned to her old self, the way she'd just spoken to him, that was her when her husband and son were still alive. What had he missed?But like a wave, hatred suddenly washed over him directed at Jason. Why was this cousin of his bent on tormenting him? What had Jason done? His hands tightened
Zhenyu family home
"Of course. I'll be there soon."Adriana read Marcus's message aloud, then let out a long, deep sigh. Relief flooded her chest. She wasn't going to rely on Edward anymore. Not after today, not even ever. She made up her mind.Fool, absolute fool. She cursed herself under her breath.To even think that Edward would actually help her. Parents and their children fought, that was normal. Edward and his father would patch things up soon enough, and when they did, Edward would tell Caleb everything. Then that man would come for her before she could lay a finger on any real evidence.That was why she hadn't visited her sister, Camila, at the hospital. Because the moment anyone knew Camila had family, her cover would blow.Stupid girl! Stupid girl! She bit her lip until she tasted blood.From now on, be careful. She advised herself.She hurried to put on her clothes when a knock landed on the door.Adriana scurried over but paused, pressing her eye to the peephole first. On seeing Marcus, she
without Him
He cleared his throat, then turned toward Jason. The man had proven himself trustworthy on multiple occasions, it wouldn't hurt to let him in on a little information. Still, Edward made up his mind not to reveal everything to Jason, at least not yet."I need you to do something for me," he said. "Even if not you directly, maybe someone you trust." Edward quickly added the amendment, realizing that Jason's presence at the meeting was just as important as his own. Jason already knew these people, he needed him there for support. Having him absent wouldn't be ideal."Tell me what it's about," Jason said, his expression still neutral, betraying no particular interest."It's about Caleb."The car tires screeched as the vehicle came to an abrupt halt."Did he reach out to you?" Jason's eyes locked onto Edward after pulling over to the side of the road."No," Edward said, rolling his eyes at Jason's suddenly serious demeanor. "He has a shipment coming in tonight. Adriana and I think we shoul
finally divorced
"Are you sure you both want this divorce?" a man said, staring at the two figures sitting opposite him.The man had a black suit on that anyone would mistake the gathering for a business meeting, but with the surroundings, the man was a clerk at the marriage bureau. His eyes pierced into them as if it would make him search the answer in their mind since they refused to say a word.Ava's hand fidgeted under the table.Early this morning, she had gotten a message from the last person she thought would reach out to her..... Edward. Informing her to meet him at Goldmere marriage bureau for the annulment of their marriage.Even if Edward hadn't added that, Ava didn't need a soothsayer to tell her what they were going to do there. A marriage bureau was meant for either registration or annulment of marriage, and with everything that had happened between herself and Edward, their meeting there meant only one thing,Divorce.Her heart had been hammering ever since. Edward did said he was going
Still in coma
In Ashwick, Edward and Jason were on a call."Make arrangements, I am taking Mrs. Zhenyu back to Goldmere," Edward said, his voice cold.Jason opened his mouth to protest but closed it back. Edward was her grandson. He knew what was best for her. So the moment the call ended, Jason made a few calls of his own.The sound of helicopter blades filled the compound. Jason, the security men, and Edward stood with Mrs. Zhenyu's fragile hand gripping Edward's. The old lady was terrified of losing her son again.Edward's eyes were still as empty as before, if not worse. Jason had told him that Mrs. Zhenyu's kind of sickness didn't need drugs, so why was she still in some healer's home? Taking her with him was the best thing to do. She seemed fine thinking he was Li, and he wasn't going to let anyone take that happiness from her. That was why he stopped Jason when he wanted to push further earlier.He was taking Mrs. Zhenyu back to Goldmere and claiming his rightful position. He inhaled, feelin
