Roderick slowly dropped the teacup in his hand onto the table as the news sounded unbelievable to his ears. His face changed immediately as he searched for a place in his mind to sit with the news and think about it."What? How and when did that happen?" The question fell from his mouth immediately.The Santos family had treated him worse in the past. Also, they never ceased to make use of any opportunity they found to embarrass him. Yet, there was still something inside him that naturally sprang up whenever he heard that the family was in trouble.Well, it's nothing but the family name 'Santos.' Given that Oliver Santos was Roderick's benefactor, it would be difficult for him to watch his family suffer, even though they had never treated him well even once.The news that the family is bankrupt conveyed no other message to Roderick's mind than that Oliver Santos was in a financial crisis.The entire family might be useless, but Roderick wouldn't mind going to any length to help them o

'Huh!!' Roderick was instantly awestruck upon hearing that. He was so shocked that he had to question her in his mind. "When did we become husband and wife?"At this time, Jack and Joe waved their hands in surrender. "Pardon us, Miss Bolton. We promise never to intervene in such matters in the future.""That would be better. You can focus more on your meal."Roderick was blown away by Kate's response. He had assumed that her earlier reply was purely a joke, more of a comeback to Jack and Joe's words. However, her current stance made him think otherwise.They were never in any relationship, let alone husband and wife. Why was she pushing a different narrative before the others?This made Roderick quickly cut in to clear the air. "Hey guys! Don't mind Miss Bolton, you know she jokes a lot. We are all close, and we can look into each other's matters."Kate tilted her head in confusion as she turned to look at Roderick and said, "I'm not even joking this time."Roderick was stunned by the

Roderick was proud of Jack and Joe for their sensible request. They were just in their early twenties, but they had their eyes on highly valuable knowledge.Roderick inwardly commended them for that, as he was impressed.Jack and Joe had their heads bowed before Roderick, anticipating his response to their request.They could only hope for a positive answer. After all, they knew whatever Roderick said would be final.The duo seemed not only to have their eyes on highly potential future knowledge but also to possess great morals.Just then, Roderick placed his hands over their shoulders and said, "It's really impressive that you both value knowledge. Especially healing techniques. It's one of the most essential types of knowledge to keep life running smoothly. Whoever acquires such knowledge has the whole world in their palm."Jack and Joe felt more motivated as they could relate so well to what Roderick had just said. They had thought about all this, which was why they had gathered th

"Oh my!" Roderick exclaimed inwardly as he caught sight of them. He quickly withdrew his body from Kate's in embarrassment. He couldn't understand why Kate had to hug him in such a manner when she knew she had visitors around.Roderick was worried that the visitors might think there was something else going on between them.Well, that was exactly what Kate wanted. She wanted the world to know Roderick as her man.Roderick's leg felt quite heavy as he stylishly moved towards the boys to greet them, trying to cover his embarrassment."Jack and Joe! It's nice to see you guys again!"The duo, who already assumed there must be something going on between Roderick and Kate, understood Roderick's present manner.The truth was they were happy to learn about it. But given how Roderick quickly withdrew his body from the warm embrace, it made them feel like he didn't want their relationship to be known publicly yet.To them, it was fine, as they felt that Roderick must have a reason for choosing

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
