Emilia’s gaze lingered on Jack, curiosity sparkling in her eyes. His smile had grown.“What is it?” Emilia asked, her tone soft.Jack glanced at her. “Butler Goof just called to inform me that what I am researching has finally displayed on my computer screen. It is a rare drug,one even stronger than the red serum your grandfather, Lord Williams, gave me.”Emilia’s eyes widened in surprise. “Seriously? That’s amazing.”Jack nodded, but the gleam in his eyes dimmed slightly. “It is. But I still don’t know what it really does. I want to understand its full effects,how dangerous it might be.”“Then go research it.” Emilia said, her tone laced with encouragement .“Check what Butler Goof found.”Jack peeked at her with a playful smirk. “Can’t I do it later?”“Nope.” She responded, poking him gently on the arm. “You should go now.”Jack opened his mouth to argue,but his stomach growled, loud and unignorable.Emilia laughed, her hand flying to her lips. “Hungry, Mr Hero?”Jack chuck

Justine Bradley and Betty Thomas strutted toward their table, heels clacking against the polished floor like war drums. Their presence turned heads, and when they reached the table, their faces twisted into sneers.“Well, look who decided to show their faces in public.” Betty said coldly, her arms folded beneath her designer blazer.“Good morning.” Emilia replied with grace, smiling warmly despite the tension.But Betty scoffed. “Spare me the pleasantries, Miss Emilia. Your greeting isn’t acceptable.”Her voice darkened as she leaned forward, eyes sharp as glass. “You should start preparing to hand over ninety-nine percent of your inheritance. That’s what’s coming.”Emilia stood, her eyes not wavering for a second. “And you, Betty, should be the one getting ready to hand over ninety-nine percent of your company. Or have you forgotten? The Williams family doesn’t lose. Not when it comes to contracts like this.”Betty’s face tightened. Her voice rose slightly. “This year, my compa

Jack’s brows furrowed slightly as he stepped aside, allowing Emilia to walk into the mansion. The early morning chill still clung to her coat, and her eyes held a dull weight that hadn’t been there before.“What do you need help with?” Jack asked, his voice deep and tinged with curiosity.She looked up at him, lips parting slowly. “My assistant… he traveled and hasn’t returned yet. He’s the one with the best idea for the campaign.” Her voice trailed, laced with tension soft but.Jack’s gaze flickered toward the glowing computer screen still searching, then back to Emilia. He took in her face,slightly pale, stress carved into her features and something in him shifted. I can’t just let her walk away like this, he thought to himself.He stepped closer, motioned for her to sit, then sank down beside her. “What do you need the idea for, exactly?”Emilia exhaled deeply.“For the campaign. It’s supposed to be finalized before the end of this week. I need something compelling… something d

The night was still as Jack stood at the gate of his mansion, the soft hum of Lord Leo’s idling car next to him. Streetlights cast long shadows across the pavement. Lord Leo lowered his window, resting his arm on the edge as he looked up at Jack.“Thank you. ” He said quietly, sincerity in every syllable. “You didn’t just help my friend,you saved a mother.”Jack nodded in acknowledgment, but his expression was distant, his brows slightly drawn. His mind was elsewhere,still swirling with thoughts of Doctor Chong and the uneasy exchange earlier.Lord Leo noticed. “Don’t let it get to you.” Lord Leo said. “That doctor doesn’t suspect anything. He was just trying to liven up the room.”Jack didn’t respond immediately. He kept his eyes on the gate, then glanced over and asked.“And what if he does suspect something?”Leo leaned back slightly in his seat, his jaw tightening. “Then he’d be dead wrong. You’re clean, Jack. He was poking around, maybe curious, but nothing more. I promise

The soft chime of glasses echoed in the lavish sitting room, each sip of wine carried by the low hum of polite conversation. A golden glow from the chandelier bathed the room in luxury, casting delicate reflections across polished marble and glass.Jack took a small sip from his glass, letting the wine roll on his tongue, Rich and Expensive.Lord Zack leaned back in his seat, studying Jack carefully. “So… you’re the one who saved Mrs Beatrice,Lord Williams’ wife?”Jack gave a simple nod. “I am.”Lord Zack tilted his head. “Are you a doctor, then?”Jack met his gaze squarely, his voice calm but firm. “No. I’m not. I just help when someone truly needs it.”Lord Zack tapped the rim of his glass thoughtfully. “That’s a rare talent. Have you ever considered becoming a real doctor?”“No. Like I said, it’s not a profession for me. It’s not about the title. I help people because it’s the right thing to do. That’s all.”Jack responded without hesitation.Lord Zack seemed to respect that.

The cab pulled up to the grand front gates of Lord Williams’ estate. Jack stepped out, tossed a few bills at the driver, and strode briskly toward the entrance. The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the courtyard as the towering mansion loomed above.Butler Goof was already at the door waiting, his hands folded neatly in front of him. “Welcome back, Mr Jack.”“Where’s Lord Leo?” Jack asked as he stepped inside.Butler Goof opened his mouth to answer, but before he could…“Jack! You're here!” Lord Leo’s voice boomed from the dining room as he stepped out, coat already in hand. “We need to go. Now.”Jack frowned. “To where?”“I’ll explain on the way.” Lord Leo said, already halfway to the door.Jack didn’t move, he stood at a spot.“No. You’re going to tell me right here, right now.”Lord Leo hesitated. His gaze shifted, uncertain drives in, before he finally said.“Promise me you won’t get mad.”Jack narrowed his eyes as he stood.“Just say it.”Lord Leo took a deep bre
