Chapter 111
Rather than live in fear, it was better to act first.Two great families had already perished for this jade.The Osborne family couldn’t afford to be next.As long as her grandfather didn’t find out, it would be fine.Resolute, Scarlett took a deep breath and stood up.“Mr. Jones, come with me.”Anthony nodded and followed her to the backyard.There, a stone table stood in the center.Scarlett extended a finger and traced an intricate symbol across its surface.A moment later—Click!A hidden mechanism activated, and a distant rumble echoed from a small house at the edge of the garden.The two of them quickly entered the small house.In the center of the floor, a hidden entrance opened silently, revealing a staircase leading downward.Scarlett Osborne glanced at Anthony and said, “Mr. Jones, let’s go.”“Alright,” Anthony replied with a nod.She stepped into the passage first.Though she had opened this entrance before, she had never dared to go down alone. Now, with Anthony by her si

Anthony’s cheeks flushed slightly.Her voice was low, but just loud enough for Lily Smith to hear.Lily’s face instantly turned icy, her anger surging.Scarlett Osborne was utterly shameless! She didn’t act like a lady from a prestigious family—more like a seductive vixen.Scarlett met Lily’s furious gaze with a taunting smile, showing no intention of backing off.Since it was a competition, she’d see it through to the end.By now, both women had completely ignored Anthony’s presence, treating him like a prize to be won.Surrounded by two stunning women, Anthony felt a bit overwhelmed.Still, Lily was his fiancée in name. He had to make his stance clear.Just as he was about to reject Scarlett, his phone suddenly rang.He glanced at the screen—it was Kiera Sanders.He quickly freed himself from the two women and stepped aside to answer.“Kiera Sanders…”“Mr. Jones, I’ve found something.”Her tone was low and serious.“What is it?” Anthony asked, suddenly tense.“The jade pendant you a

At that, Lily clenched her jaw, her eyes blazing.This woman was openly seducing her fiancé right in front of her.Sensing Lily’s displeasure, Anthony looked at Scarlett and replied coolly, “If you have something to say, say it here. I’m having dinner with my fiancée.”He could already tell—this woman was trouble.Scarlett blinked, then let out a coquettish laugh. “Hehe… Mr. Jones, you don’t mince words, do you?”“Then I’ll get straight to the point. I want your help upgrading our company’s product. If you’re willing, the Osborne family will meet any condition you name.”She was blunt, her intentions clear.Lily snapped, “Scarlett Osborne, how shameless can your family get?”But Scarlett ignored her, eyes locked on Anthony like a predator eyeing her prey.Lily knew she couldn’t compete with a woman like this.Scarlett had learned Anthony’s name from Aaron Ellison, along with the rumors about his alchemical prowess surpassing even the Ellison family’s legacy pills.She’d tracked Anth

Old Mr. Smith nodded and chuckled. “Best way? Get him into bed. Just make sure it’s what you want.”With that, he turned and left.Lily stood frozen in place, her cheeks slowly turning crimson as the meaning of his words sank in.Grandpa's advice… actually made sense!Without hesitation, she pulled out her phone and dialed Anthony.At that moment, in Crystal Haven, Anthony received a call from an unknown number. He hesitated briefly before answering.“Who is it?”“It’s me, Anthony. Lily…”Anthony was surprised—it was Lily Smith. He had no idea why she was calling, but didn’t think much of it.“What’s up?” he asked.Lily paused a moment, then said softly, “I’d like to invite you to dinner.”Anthony chuckled wryly. “Of course.”She was, after all, the fiancée chosen by his late grandfather. As long as Lily was willing, he would honor the engagement.His quick agreement made Lily ecstatic on the other end of the line.Half an hour later, in a grand restaurant in Silverhaven City.Lil
Chapter 107
Fist after fist crashed down on Felix’s face, each blow more merciless than the last.Felix passed out from the pain, only to wake up again in agony.When he came to, he scrambled to his knees in front of Anthony, kowtowing desperately."Mr. Jones, I was wrong! I swear I was wrong! Please—spare me! Let me live!"He trembled violently, like a fat pig pinned to the butcher’s table.Anthony’s face remained cold and indifferent, saying nothing.Franklin, on the other hand, stood ramrod straight like a soldier awaiting orders."Mr. Jones, say the word—I'll deal with this piece of trash however you like!""Someone like him has no place in government," Anthony said flatly. "Do what you want. I never want to see him again."In truth, it wasn’t Felix who had truly provoked Anthony—it was Ian. The real culprit had already been punished. Killing Felix would’ve been meaningless.Franklin nodded furiously. "Yes, yes, absolutely! Everything will be done as you say, Mr. Jones."He then turned and ro

Anthony took a deep breath and said coldly, "I hadn’t planned on killing you. But now, I’ve changed my mind. You have to die today." Ian sneered in response. So long as his father was here, he believed nothing could go wrong. He turned to Felix and said, "Dad, did you hear that? This punk’s out of his mind!" Felix’s face was dark, but he didn’t fly into a rage. Instead, he said coldly, "You think I, Felix Doyle, got this far by bluffing? I’ve earned my place—understand?" He raised his hand and commanded, "Call Mr. Thompson. I want this kid dead today." "Yes, Mr. Doyle!" One of the Mythical Tier bodyguards immediately took out his phone to make the call. "No need to call. I’m already here." A deep, rugged voice rang out from outside. Felix’s face lit up with joy. "Ha! Kid, you're finished now!" He turned his head quickly. Outside, Mr. Thompson was escorting a middle-aged man inside—his face cold, his expression uneasy. That man was Franklin Fisher, mayor of Silverhave
