"What? The three million dollar painting is gone? You're not joking, are you?" Desmond asked his wife.

"Mom, it was a gift from Miss Bennet, the vice president of the Phoenix Crest group. Aside from the jewelry set, the painting was Grandmother's favorite gift." Matthew deliberately dramatized the situation to make everyone believe that Danny was the thief in their family.

Grandma immediately showed a furious expression, the frown on her face even more apparent. The older woman stomped her cane

    Monique immediately sprang up from the sofa, barefoot, and began to pack. "Wait for me. I want to grab the bag and dress I just bought."The man scratched his head, watching the adorable Monique, unsure of what to do. "Alright, I’m done packing. Let’s go!"Monique walked off, full of excitement.*Thud!* The man gently tapped the back of Monique’s neck, and she instantly lost consciousness."Forgive me, Ms. Monique. The Master’s orders were not to let you escape."…Eight hours later. A plane landed in Suzhou, where the Shen family resided. Monique stepped off the aircraft! Several Caucasian men escorted her into a waiting vehicle.Before long, Monique was brought into Damien’s room."Mr. Damien, we have brought Monique Bennet!" one of the men reported.Damien smiled as he looked at Monique. He scanned her from head to toe, noting how delicate and charming she was—a rare gem indeed."Are you Monique Bennet?" Damien asked.Monique shook her head. "No, you’ve got the wrong person. I’m no

  • 850. Monique Comes

    Danny would protect Monique just as he protected Sharon. He wanted to see her happy and would never allow a playboy like Shen Zihan to toy with her feelings!Realizing how deeply Danny cared for Monique, Mrs. Shen said, "Zihan, there are billions of women in this world—you could choose anyone. Why must it be Monique? Danny has made significant contributions to our family, and this dinner is held in his honor. Let’s not disappoint anyone."Mrs. Shen still held Danny in high regard and cared about his feelings. Shen Zihan’s attitude toward Danny had shifted considerably; though not entirely pleased, he agreed."Fine, I won't touch Monique. Besides, I personally find her a bit too 'big'."In the eyes of many Chinese, the curvaceous, sexy figures often associated with Caucasian women are considered "too large"—by their standards, a slender frame is the ideal of beauty.Damien was deeply displeased. He hadn't expected both Mrs. Shen and Shen Zihan to place such weight on the opinions of th

  • 849. Kidnapping Monique

    The atmosphere suddenly turned rather awkward. Everyone knew that Mrs. Shen was very fond of Danny, so they kept showering him with praise. However, Damien—the only other American present, who even shared the same surname as Danny—was openly antagonistic toward him.Since this was Danny’s first visit, no one felt it was their place to speak up in his defense. In truth, most of those present found Danny’s sudden decision to join the Shen family rather suspicious.Damien remarked, "You have the ability to kill Park Dae-seong and Chujiro Matsumoto all on your own. You’re also invincible, having been injected with the 'Miracle' serum. Given how capable you are, why lower yourself to seek protection from the Shen family? Do you have some ulterior motive?!"Danny frowned at Damien. This guy really knew how to stir up trouble. Mrs. Shen was no fool; she was the woman who held the entire Shen family under her control.Moreover, she was the one who had elevated the Shen family to such a promin

  • 848. Discovering Danny's Past

    Damien’s expression and tone were far from friendly. To make matters worse, he deliberately applied more force than necessary while shaking Danny’s hand.It was an overt challenge! Danny offered a faint smile. He couldn’t care less about encountering slights or discrimination in this unfamiliar environment.In his eyes, even Mrs. Shen was nothing more than an ordinary person; those beneath her certainly weren’t worth affecting his mood. Consequently, Danny felt no anger, nor did he increase the pressure of his grip—fearing that if he exerted any more force, the man’s hand might end up permanently crippled.Danny asked politely, "Mr. Lancester, what is it that you do?"Everyone present was likely part of Mrs. Shen’s inner circle or a key talent for the Shen family. Danny was curious about this man’s role.To have the audacity to treat him this way in public—Damien avoided eye contact, yet he still forced out a reply."I am Mrs. Shen’s Chief Personal Assistant; I handle all of her daily

    Drip... Raindrops kept falling, thunder continued to rumble, and lightning struck the warship repeatedly!Boom! It had been clear just a minute ago, but the weather had suddenly taken a drastic turn. Not only was there a thunderstorm, but a thick, hazy fog had also descended."Damn it, that’s a weather weapon! The Gu family is truly formidable—they’ve actually managed to develop a weather weapon!"Shen Zihan was overcome with emotion. Weather weapons are terrifying armaments, with power comparable to that of nuclear weapons. China had been researching such technology ever since the Second World War.Moreover, with the assistance of "the Goddess," the Gu family’s weather weapon had reached a truly frightening level!Jonathan grew anxious. "What should we do? Can we still launch an attack on the Gu family’s secret base?"John, who was being kept under control nearby, shook his head stiffly. "We can't. The fog and heavy rain are the natural enemies of laser weaponry. The fog scatters the
