"Today's problem at Luna's wedding, we already know about it! You're a bad luck charm, James! You've embarrassed us so much!" Maria continued. She reproached James.

"Mom, enough! Let's not talk about it anymore. We can't blame James. This is just a drama created by Tommy. James didn't do anything wrong there. Besides, Uncle Edwin's family doesn't want to help us.

After hearing Sheva's response, Maria got even angrier. And she said with anger still running high, "Why are you defending him? He has embarrassed you! If you hadn't married him, our lives wouldn't be this poor. You should have married a rich man!"

Sheva's father could only sigh, his face full of sadness.

Meanwhile, James could only remain silent. He went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. As usual, in his wife's family home he was a servant.

1 hour later, James finished cooking and put the meal on the dining table. The family gathered at the dining table.

"James, you must have heard what Luna said today..." Maria looked at James with a flat expression.

"Mom!" Sheva put down the chopsticks. "I'm not going to get divorced because someone forced me to!"

"Why? Do you love James?" Maria glared at her daughter. "Don't you know that your dad's business has gone bankrupt? What will we eat in the future?"

"The trouble James caused at Luna's wedding was very serious. Besides hitting Tommy, James made a mess of it, and it caused embarrassment from Hans, Luna, and the Edwin family to all their honored guests!" Maria continued. "I'm sure they'll take it out on our family, so divorcing him is the best option!"

Sheva bit her lower lip, even though she didn't want to divorce James yet, but she found this situation very difficult. She was starting to get confused.

Maria said to her husband, "Eden, why are you silent? Persuade your daughter to divorce your useless son-in-law!"

Eden was helpless, he remained silent.

James finished eating, he cleared his plate and went back to his own room.

In the room, as James was about to go to sleep, there was a new message in his email. It was a notification that his wealth access had been unlocked. For 10 years, Timothy's family had blocked his limited account as a threat to the departure of him and his biological mother from Timothy's family home, due to his father's affair.

Reading the notice, James smiled sarcastically.

***

The next day.

James had just walked out of his father-in-law's residential area, but he was intercepted by a black Bentley car.

From inside the car, a middle-aged man wearing a black suit, and an expressionless face stared at James.

The middle-aged man's body was powerful, his facial curves were clear, a sharp nose, a pair of shining eyes, the whole person was very authoritative, and had an aura. His face was slightly similar to James.

"I didn't expect you to come looking for me right away," James said. The corners of his mouth turned up in a sardonic smile. After ten years, he still recognized the middle-aged man in front of him, he was Gerald Timothy. He was James' biological father.

"I know you don't want to see me, that's fine. But, don't you want to meet your grandfather one last time?" Gerald Timothy asked.

James was silent for a moment. In his family, only his grandfather was kind to him. He remembered his childhood, his grandfather always accompanied him.

Gerald said waking up James' reverie, "Let's find a place. Let's talk nicely."

Twenty minutes later, at one of the biggest restaurants in the city Leeds, 20th floor, there was only Gerald and James. They sat opposite each other.

"Your grandfather has been seriously ill for two years. He can only lie in bed. His health is getting worse. And he just wants you back. He keeps mentioning your name all the time." Gerald said carefully. He took a breath, and then continued, "Your first and third uncles only had daughters. They had no sons. The next generation of the Timothy family is you. You are our only hope."

James smiled sarcastically. "So, you just want to use me as your doll in seizing the family assets?" James furrowed his brow slightly and smiled sarcastically. He knew exactly what kind of person his father was, he could do anything for power.

"James, do you want a lifetime of living in that little Eden Hilton house? And are you willing to accept their humiliation every day?" Gerald slowly said. Earlier, he had already investigated his son's life.

"Yesterday, at Edwin Hilton's daughter's wedding, I know you received great slander and humiliation. But your ability to stand up to them was nothing!" Gerald said again. "Then, do you not want to hold power yourself? Don't you want to fight back against them?"

"If you are willing to accept my offer, then you can make all the Hilton family kneel at your feet!" Gerald continued to persuade James.

James just shook his head.

Gerald snorted, and then said, "I know you hate me for life, not even recognizing me as your father. That's okay, James. It doesn't matter to me. But, all you have to do is come back to our house and meet your grandfather. Then, sign the papers to accept your grandfather's power and wealth."

"This opportunity is hard to come by. Aren't you willing to accept it? I'm helping you."

James shook his head. "I won't accept your help!"

"I'll find time to go home to see my grandfather. But, as for the matter of signing your offer as successor to grandfather's power and wealth, I won't!" said James. He smiled sarcastically, and stood up to leave the restaurant.

On the way, James' cell phone suddenly rang. Someone was calling him.

"Hello?" said James as he put the phone to his ear.

"James, you're a loser! Where are you now? Hurry to the hospital! I've prepared the divorce agreement, and you have to come and sign it!" James' mother-in-law said.

"What's wrong? Why go to the hospital?" James asked.

"Today Tommy came to the house, he argued with Sheva's father about the factory issue, and there was a riot. Tommy hit Sheva's father and got hurt and had to go to the hospital. Meanwhile, Sheva also fainted from arguing with Tommy. Now, Tommy is still forcing us. He's going to confiscate our house. He said you must divorce Sheva, then he will let go of our family and help our bankrupt factory!" Maria explained.

"I'm begging you, James. Please divorce my daughter! Our family can't take this torture anymore." Maria cried saying this. The situation was urgent.

"Yes. I'll be there now." James said and then disconnected the phone.

"Sheva fainted?" James' eyes became sharp, and he imagined Tommy Hilton's face angrily.

***

Welter Group Building, Leeds City.

This is the second largest company in Leeds city, the building is very tall. 75 floors in total.

Before going to the hospital, James came to this building and walked in.

"Sir, who are you looking for?" The female receptionist asked James.

"I'm looking for your CEO. Dicky Welter," James said.

Dicky Welter is one of the businessmen in this city, he is the 2nd richest man in this city. His power is very strong. Many people respect and appreciate him.

"Have you made an appointment with Mr. Dicky, Sir?"

"Not yet. But tell him that I am Timothy's grandson," James said.

The receptionist understood. She went straight to Dicky's room to tell him.

3 minutes later, the receptionist returned. She invited James to come to Dicky's room.

At the door, an old man greeted James respectfully. He smiled happily, because the moment he had been waiting for had finally come. Of course, he was very familiar with the grandson of his best friend who was the number one richest man in the city and country. However, Timothy's family never publishes and needs validation from everyone that they are very rich. However, other rich people would have great respect for Timothy's family.

"Young master! It's been ten years, we finally meet again, and I'm so happy that you're visiting my office," Dicky said. He opened his arms wide to hug James.

James smiled and accepted the warm embrace.

"What can I do for you, Young Master?" asked Dicky.

"Within 24 hours, I want Hilton Jewelry Group to go bankrupt!" James said coldly.

  • Chapter 229-Dasqan

    Dasqan smiled confidently. Based on the information he had, James was just an ordinary young man. The fact that James survived the surprise assassination was already impressive. Still, Dasqan believed that didn’t compare to true power earned through elite training and hidden strength. “If you remain stubborn, then I have no choice but to end you now,” Dasqan said coldly. “No matter who’s backing you, crossing them was suicide. You have no idea how deep the Mark family’s power runs. Not even your supporters can save you.” “Oh?” James seemed intrigued. “I’m curious about your background too.” James had already guessed. Dasqan was probably sent because of the incident at the Mark family’s residence. Maybe this was the work of Mireya’s uncle. Was he really chasing him all the way out here? At first, James didn’t want to get involved in the Mark family’s internal affairs, especially not with the powerful forces behind them. “My background?” Dasqan sneered. “If you knew who was

  • Chapter 228-He Wants Spare James' Life

    “No, no! Mr. Erick, Mr. James! I... I can still drink! I really can!” Juan stammered. His face was pale with fear. He quickly got up and grabbed a large bowl of white liquor, then gulped it down like a starving dog, drinking wildly without caring about his surroundings. The bitter alcohol was forced down his throat. Half-conscious and half-drunk, both Juan and Malvin cursed the Somaz and Edwin families in their hearts. They were convinced those two fools should be dragged here to suffer with them. While chugging his third bowl, Juan finally collapsed. He fell to the ground with a groan, tears in his eyes, and his mouth rambling nonsense. He had reached the peak of drunken madness. Malvin wasn’t much better. His face was flushed red, his bloated belly tight, and he too eventually dropped to the floor, groaning in pain. James slowly stood up. He looked at Erick and said calmly, “Take care of the rest. I’m leaving now.” “Yes, Sir,” Erick replied respectfully, then escorted Jame

  • Chapter 227-They were helpless in front of James

    “Ah! Okay, okay! I’ll sit down, I’ll sit down.” Juan was so terrified that his whole body trembled as he sat, as if he wasn’t even aware of what he was doing. Malvin was even worse. He picked up his chopsticks to hide his panic, but the hand holding them was shaking badly. Both of them were scared out of their minds. And rightfully so. James was like a silent god! Thinking about what they had just said to James, Juan and Malvin almost wanted to slap themselves for being so reckless toward someone so powerful. How were they supposed to survive this? “Mr. James, I’m sorry… what just happened was a total misunderstanding,” Juan said with a flattering smile. “Mr. James, you are truly great… please ignore us, we deserve to be punished. We deserve to die.” Without hesitation, Juan slapped himself twice while keeping a forced smile on his face. Malvin followed, even slapping Juan’s face while endlessly flattering James like their lives depended on it. And aside from James’

  • Chapter 226-You Two Are Idiots!

    "Do you know Mr. Erick?" Juan looked shocked and stared at Erick with disbelief. He never expected James to have any kind of connection with Erick. "James, you’re really out of line. Even if you do know Mr. Erick, and even if he personally invited you to sit, that would already be a huge honor. But you actually chose the main seat? Are you serious?" Juan shouted. "When you saw Mr. Erick come in, you didn’t even stand up and show respect?" In Juan’s eyes, James was nothing but trash who didn’t belong in a place like this. Maybe he had some luck and got introduced by Erick, but that still didn’t give him the right to act arrogant. "Mr. Erick, I know him. He’s a useless son-in-law. I don’t know how he managed to get close to you, but he’s just a low-class guy. If you keep associating with someone like him, your reputation will suffer," Juan said in a flattering tone. Erick’s expression slowly turned serious. His eyebrows twitched. He couldn’t believe Juan dared to say something l

  • Chapter 225-At VIP Room

    Outside, right at the hotel entrance, Erick sat in the back seat of a black Lincoln. His expression was calm but authoritative. After a while, the car moved forward to the entrance of the resort hotel. Juan and Malvin got out of their car and quickly walked toward the Lincoln’s window. They bent down slightly with polite smiles and looked at Erick from outside the window. “Mr. Erick, we’ve arrived. We’re not sure what the purpose of your invitation is today,” said Juan with a very respectful tone. “Sir, if you have any instructions or messages, we are ready to listen and carry them out sincerely,” Malvin added with a smile. The car window slowly rolled down. Erick looked at the two of them and said calmly, “I called you here today to introduce you to someone very important. Your only job is to be respectful and polite. Understand?” “Yes, Sir!” Juan replied with enthusiasm, patting his chest. “This is a golden opportunity you’ve given us. We won’t let you down!” They knew

  • Chapter 224-The Man in the Main Seat

    At that moment, Maria and Eden arrived, looking upset. They stared at James with angry eyes. "James, what did you just say? Who told you to say something like that? Are you trying to ruin everything?" Maria snapped. She's very angry now. "You are so foolish man!" added Maria. At this moment, she really wanted to hit James, but she held back. "I suggested that Sheva change the name of Hilton Jewelry Group. It doesn’t matter whether it still uses the Hilton name or not," James replied indifferently. "It doesn’t matter? Easy for you to say when you’re not the one taking the risk!" Maria shouted. "Sheva’s father even got drunk trying to settle things peacefully, and you just messed everything up." "You really don’t want this family to live in peace," Maria continued. "Sheva, don’t listen to this crazy man. He’s just a troublemaker." James looked at Sheva and said calmly, "Sheva, once you get home, think of a new name and change the group’s name." "It’s not a big deal. I’ll
