Making this call went against Cal's every instinct.But he was out of options. That old man still owed him a favor.Even though Serena's grandfather was gone, Cal couldn't just stand by and let her cry herself to death at his graveside.So, reluctantly, he found himself bargaining with Morgan.---"Are you... actually agreeing?" Morgan's voice crackled through the phone.She'd been fully prepared to drag him there by force if necessary—tie him up and haul him over. His sudden change of heart left her genuinely shocked. She could hardly believe what she was hearing."Mhm," Cal grunted, his reluctance palpable. "But there are conditions. You help me first.""No problem. Where are you now? I'll come to you—we'll talk in person." Fearful he'd back out, Morgan pressed for an immediate meeting.Cal gave her his location. Soon, Morgan ordered Tanner to drive her over."General, what's the situation? A fugitive sighting?" Tanner asked from the driver's seat, confused by her urgency."It's Cal

At this moment, almost all the employees of the company stood by the window, looking down. A lonely figure held a storage box, walking out of the company. It was drizzling in the sky of Riverton. The autumn breeze was bone-chilling. However, that figure did not hold an umbrella and walked alone into the rain."Brother Cal, think of a way.""Help Ms. Whitmore!"Wayne and the others watched this scene, feeling pity in their hearts, and couldn't help but ask Cal for help.Cal was playing computer games at his desk: "How can I help?""I kindly reminded her, but that woman didn't take it to heart.""Now that things have come to this, what do you expect me to do?"Talking about this matter made Cal angry. He had advised Serena many times, but this stubborn woman never listened and only wanted to show off at the Entrepreneur Conference. Did she ever think about how long and deep the relationship between the Whitmore family and the Blake family was? Why should they help her so much?"Brother

"Mr. Blake, you...you..."Shane and his daughter were already in a panic.They stared at Harrison in disbelief. They probably never dreamed that Harrison would say such words."Mr. Blake, you must be mistaken.""This admission ticket was clearly given to us by you.""You said that you helped us get this opportunity..." Serena was still trying to explain.But Harrison was already tired of talking to them. He took back his own admission ticket and turned to leave.As for the matter of Shane and his daughter stealing the admission ticket, someone else would naturally be responsible for resolving it."Mr. Blake, please don't go. Can you help us explain..." Serena was still shouting.But the staff of the venue had already surrounded them."Are you going to leave on your own, or do you want us to take action?" Manager Xu's eyes were cold as he asked."There must be a misunderstanding. Let us go see Mr. Blake and explain it to him in person," Shane pleaded, unwilling to leave like this.But

Before doing her hair and makeup, Serena was tidying up her appearance. Upon hearing Cal's reminder, she didn't turn around and simply said, "Did Grace also think he's not a good person?""This..." Cal was stunned. He couldn't respond to that."Okay, since you don't believe me, let's just forget I said anything," Cal said, not wanting to push his luck, and turned to leave.However, Serena stopped him again. "Do you have any evidence to support your claim that Mr. Blake is not a good person?"Cal shook his head. He didn't have any evidence—he just thought the situation was strange."If you're just talking nonsense, why should I believe you?" Serena asked."Serena, are you ready yet?" Shane's voice came from outside, urging her."I'm coming!"Without waiting for Cal's response, Serena hurried out to attend the conference.Watching the father and daughter leave, Cal muttered to himself, "I hope I'm just overthinking things."Afterwards, Cal didn't linger and went straight to work at the

Grant was eventually taken away for investigation.In the villa, Grace and Serena stood there pale-faced and stunned."How... how could this happen?""How did it turn out like this?"Grace muttered in a low voice.They probably never expected what was supposed to be a lesson for Cal would end with Grant being sent to prison."Cal, you bastard!""Why did you frame Grant?""I order you to go to the police station now and clear Grant's name!"After the initial shock, Grace vented all her anger on Cal.Serena also looked coldly at Cal. "Those police officers—did you bring them here?""We're all friends. Why do you have to go so far?""Is it really Cal who went too far?"The door was pushed open again.Rain walked in, her beautiful face showing clear anger."Rain, why are you here?" Grace and the others were surprised that Rain had followed."Hmph! Why can't I come?""Grace, Serena—don't you think *you've* gone too far?""Cal did me a favor. I just treated him to a meal, and you've been cr

"Is it Grant?"Cal smiled knowingly, completely unsurprised.He'd already guessed. When Cal first arrived in Riverton, he'd only made a few enemies. He'd already dealt with Victor from the Dragon Tiger Gang, Wesley was now submissive, and the Bancroft family wouldn't dare mess with him. As for Morgan, she was a military War Goddess—if she needed to deal with someone, she wouldn't resort to sending a group of thugs.So there was only one answer: Grant and his group, whom Cal had mocked earlier."What?""It's Grant?""He's gone too far!""We're friends—how could he do this?"However, Rain was truly shocked.She'd known Grant for years. Though they weren't close, they'd been classmates for many years. She'd always thought he was a gentleman.But she never expected such an apparently upright person would resort to such underhanded tactics. Rain was both shocked and angry.Cal smiled. "There's nothing surprising about it.""He's just trying to play the hero to win the damsel's heart."Cal
