Given how happy Kate's voice sounded on the phone, Christina couldn't help but stomp her foot in rage."Not this time again!"She glared at Roderick and turned to leave his office in disappointment.A slight smile appeared on Roderick's face as he watched Christina nearly lose her temper over his matter.He understood how crazy it was to handle the situation at hand. She had just vowed to make Kate cut ties with him. At the same time, the latter had just called to say she had a surprise for him.How ridiculous!"A surprise?" Roderick asked in puzzlement. He wondered what kind of surprise she had for him."Yes, Mr. Holmes. Hurry up and come for it." The excitement in Kate's voice increased.For Kate to be this happy over a surprise she had for him, Roderick thought it must be something quite great.Then, he responded, "It's fine, Miss Bolton. I will be there soon once I'm done with everything on my desk.""It's alright. Don't stay too long. I will be waiting for you," Kate said, and th

Christina was instantly bewildered at the sight of the black card. She recognized the card as one of the most respected cards in the county, as it belonged to The Infinite Bank.The Infinite Bank is known as the bank for wealthy people. She was aware that one of the requirements to bank with the financial institution is to have a net worth of more than two hundred million.Where did Roderick find such an amount to be able to bank there?Christina's mind struggled to understand the matter at hand.Aside from that, she considered the land on Tuchel Avenue useless and wouldn't mind selling it to Roderick. He was the one who purchased it at the auction, after all.If he bought the useless land for himself, it was a reward for his ignorance about valuable lands.However, Christina insisted that he should pay for the land immediately because she never believed he could fork out a huge sum of ten million dollars.Her initial intention was to embarrass and mock Roderick if he was unable to pa

Christina's heart was still boiling with hatred when Roderick arrived on the floor of their company.She had rushed out of her office earlier to get a better look at the person Benjamin was respectfully bowing to, as she doubted it was Roderick.As soon as she confirmed that it really was Roderick, her legs became too heavy to return to her office.She had been trying to stomach the pain and hatred she felt for him since witnessing the scene. But seeing Roderick at close range only escalated her hatred for him.Roderick didn't even care about her cold glare. He was about to walk past her when a stupid question fell from Christina's mouth."Roderick Holmes, how long do you think you can pretend to be someone you're not?"Roderick heard her clearly but never stopped walking. He had no time to worry about whatever she might think of him.She owns her world and her mind. She is free to think whatever pleases her about him.Christina was deeply pained as Roderick ignored her. She couldn't

Benjamin's face widened in surprise as he heard that. It was very difficult for him to believe it.However, given how serious Roderick's tone was when he made the disclosure, he could tell that he wasn't joking."Mr. Holmes, is this true?" Benjamin didn’t know when this question slipped from his mouth.Roderick was quite amused, as he had foreseen this reaction earlier. He never planned to disclose this to Benjamin sooner, knowing he would become restless as soon as he found out.Given how their discussion had gone, that was why he had to tell him now."Are you doubting my words, Mr. White?"Benjamin felt a sudden pang in his heart as Roderick asked him. Roderick and the Silent Emperor had spent some time together at the club a few moments ago, so he must have learned the information.Benjamin didn’t mean to doubt Roderick’s words, but the information was just so hard for him to believe.Wasn’t it unfortunate that he ended up staying at the hotel owned by the person he feared could at

The Silent Emperor couldn't appreciate Roderick enough. He did his best as a gesture of appreciation.After that, Roderick said to him, "It's okay. I need to return to my room to get some rest now.""Alright, sir. I dare not waste any moment of your time." The Silent Emperor quickly got up from his seat to escort Roderick out of the club.However, Roderick declined instantly. "You shouldn't bother to see me off. It would be quite awkward for people to see you walking side by side with me to my room."The Silent Emperor didn't dare to disagree with Roderick. Whatever he said was final.One thing he was able to understand about Roderick was that he was a highly influential person who preferred a low-key life. Even though the Silent Emperor had no idea of his real identity, he was sure that he held great significance.Roderick was pleased that the Silent Emperor was reasonable enough to agree to stay back. If he had forced himself to follow him, it would have brought a lot of attention,

'Really?' Roderick was quite surprised to hear this. He was a bit doubtful of the Silent Emperor's words.However, given the fact that he had seen the Silent Emperor's abode today, owning such a great hotel was possible.Then, Roderick thought of pushing him further. "If that's true, why did everyone in the club leave in fear when they saw you? Weren't they supposed to enjoy every bit of their time being here?"The Silent Emperor lowered his head and responded, "That's true, Mr. Holmes. But everyone in Meadow City knows me for loving a quiet environment. Given that, wherever I step, people always scatter for their lives as they are afraid of offending me."Roderick glanced at him at his explanation and returned to his drink. Even though his explanation was quite justifiable, he expected the customers in his hotel to be excluded.Roderick understood that even if the Silent Emperor had asked them to stay in the club while he was present, most of them might not be willing to risk their l
