As soon as Roderick mentioned this, Zachary stared at him for a moment. Then, the anger on his face slowly melted and turned into a wide, laughing expression."Haha!" The elderly man laughed heartily, which confused Roderick and Kate.They wondered what was so funny until he turned to Kate and said, "I must say, this guy is very strategic. He deserves a medal for being such a great strategist!"Kate was so confused by what he said that she had to ask, concerned, "Mr. Holmes just mentioned a sickness you are suffering from, Mr. Zachary. What does that have to do with being strategic? This is about your health; I don't think we should be laughing about this!"Zachary stared at Kate for another moment and then burst into louder laughter. He couldn't believe Kate had just said that. Did she actually believe Roderick's words?Well, given that there seemed to be some relationship between them, he hadn’t expected anything less from her.But what he didn't understand was that Roderick was a r

At this time, on the first floor of the Eclipse Hotel, the Santos family and Jonah were happily having their dinner and sharing gist.Just then, Jonah got up with a smile and said, "Enjoy your meal, everyone. I will be back in a few minutes."They all nodded at the young heir, and Clara responded, "It's all right, Mr. Quinton. Don't stay too long so you won't miss any gist."Hearty laughter erupted among them as Clara said this."I promise I won't stay long," Jonah said. Then, he secretly went outside and made a call._______________Kate and Roderick were in the comfort suite. They had tried their best to persuade Zachary to give them the Grand Unity Herb.However, Zachary's words remained the same. He insisted on not giving it out, as the master who gave it to him warned him to keep it dearly.Moreover, the master made it known to him that the herb would save him from an untimely death someday.For this reason, the elderly man couldn't trade the herb for anything in this world.What

"Kate, you aren’t being serious now, are you?" Even though Kate had confirmed it to Zachary, he still found it hard to believe.The elderly man recalled the many efforts he had put into finding the rare root, and he couldn’t forgive himself.This was because he had stressed himself greatly just to fulfill Kate’s request. He thought that if he had known she wasn’t the one who needed the root, he wouldn’t have put himself through such stress.The more he thought about this, the deeper the pain penetrated his soul.“Of course, I’m serious, Mr. Zachary. Why would I be playing around with such a serious matter?”Kate turned to look at Roderick and could tell from his eyes how unhappy he was that Zachary was unable to get the root.The young lady wasn’t happy either, because she had high hopes that Zachary would be able to help in the situation.Then she said to the elderly man, “Mr. Holmes is in great need of the root. Is there any other source you can reach out to in order to help secure
Chapter 72
Kate's brows suddenly rose in concern. She wondered why Zachary had said that. "Did I wrong you in some way, Mr. Zachary? Why do you think of canceling the trip?"Kate had known him to be cold and unpredictable, and she had always been careful whenever she dealt with him. She couldn't remember if she had unknowingly offended him in the past, which might be why he wanted to cancel his visitation after they had already agreed.However, the elderly man exhaled silently before he answered. "You have me wrong, Miss Bolton. You have never wronged me. I only thought of canceling the trip after I couldn't find the rare root you requested despite all my efforts."Roderick's heart instantly sank in his stomach upon hearing this, and so did Kate's.The War King had high expectations of Zachary based on this news he had just disclosed. Meeting him, a rare root specialist, Roderick had thought his stress about searching for the remaining rare roots to treat Oliver Santos would come to an end.Unfo

While others continued to wish ill upon Roderick, Felicia's mind was occupied with a different thought.Even though Roderick was her ex-husband, she felt a slight emotion about anything that concerned him.She remembered that earlier Jonah had accused Roderick of living a wayward life, but he had refuted the accusation.However, on this same day, he had booked the entire top floor of the Eclipse Hotel. What could be the reason for that? Felicia tried to understand.Nothing else came to her mind other than the fact that he had booked the whole floor to have a safe, pleasant time with his harlots.She couldn't believe that Roderick was really wasting Miss Bolton's money on pleasing his prostitutes.Felicia didn't just feel hurt inside at this thought. She was extremely pained and wished she could burst into the Comfort Suite where he was headed and do the needful.Of course, she hadn't healed from him being with Miss Bolton. Now, he had deepened the pain in Felicia's heart by sharing hi

Roderick was utterly stunned and felt a quick grip in his heart immediately.The War King wondered what Kate meant when she said she would be visiting his house once they were done here.He thought she was just asking to know where he lived. Who would have thought that she would be interested in visiting?Roderick's mind was troubled, and he couldn't understand why she was so concerned about knowing where he lived.He only lived at the House of Majesty and had no other place in the city. Now that she had requested to visit his house, he thought of how to divert her interest away from it.Taking her to the House of Majesty was never a problem, but the War King was afraid of disclosing his real identity to her. It would cause a lot of complications.For these reasons, he preferred to keep his real identity hidden from her.Roderick thought of a new lie to help himself out of this mess, but none of what he thought was justifiable.He had also mistakenly set himself up when he mentioned e

After Hannah and Roderick walked past some other suites on the floor, they arrived at the entrance of the Comfort Suite, where Roderick was heading.Before them was a sleek and modern door that looked very nice. Below the door handle, some buttons served as the control.Hannah pressed the bell button, and in a moment, the door slowly opened.A young and beautiful lady wearing a lovely purple off-shoulder gown stepped out gently. It was none other than Kate Bolton.Hannah greeted her and pointed at Roderick. "Ma'am, your visitor is here."As soon as she raised her head and saw Roderick behind Hannah, her face lit up with happiness. "Mr. Holmes, you are finally here."The War King managed to give her a slight smile, reciprocating the warmth.Kate had informed Hannah earlier, after paying for the floor, that she would be expecting visitors and wanted them to be treated with the utmost honor.Any form of disrespect towards them would not be tolerated.This was one of the major reasons why
Chapter 68
Jonah secretly flashed a few dollar bills to the receptionist to persuade her.He believed so much in bribing. It had always been his way out in settling situations like this.Even though his last attempt at such, at Ace Company's dinner party the other day, nearly got him into trouble,he believed nothing like that would happen this time around. Moreover, he was dealing with a lady.Everybody knows the fastest way to a lady's heart is money. He believed there was no way she would decline this nice offer.Surprisingly to Jonah, the receptionist shook her head in disagreement and replied professionally, "I'm sorry, sir. Bribery is prohibited here. It's against management's rules. And for your request, I'm afraid it can never be granted. Every customer must purchase a membership card before they can enjoy any service here."Jonah felt pained in his heart, listening to the loudmouth receptionist. He offered her the tip secretly. He expected her response to be secret, too, when she knew s
Chapter 67
All attention quickly shifted to the young heir as he shouted at the top of his lungs.The Santos family stared at him with concern as his voice rose higher, as if he had been bitten by a snake.Indeed, ten million dollars is a whole lot of money. In fact, even Clara's life savings weren't that much. But they never expected such an amount to be a big deal to the heir of the Quinton family.Seeing the sudden stares, Jonah quickly composed himself and wiped the shock off his face."Ten million dollars. It's not that bad," he said in a low tone. Meanwhile, he was pondering how huge that was.He never expected the membership card to be so costly. He wondered if the membership card was worth ten million dollars, how much the meals would cost then.The young heir had just scammed the Santos family out of over a hundred million dollars. But that doesn't mean he should spend it all recklessly.Mismanagement of funds was what put the Quinton Pharmaceutical company in the mess it's in today. Th
