My husband will be back soon!"<br /> <br /> In the luxurious villa, Ethan Smith stood at the bedroom door, hearing the slightly hurried voice inside.<br /> <br /> He was very familiar with this voice, as it was his own wife, Sylvia Johnson.<br /> <br /> "He's just a loser. What can he do when he comes back? Even if he sees this, he'll have to put up with it!" A rough male voice entered Ethan's ears.<br /> <br /> Ethan stood at the door, his whole body trembling.<br /> <br /> Anger almost made him lose his mind.<br /> <br /> With a "bang,"<br /> <br /> His eyes were bloodshot, and he kicked the door open with one foot.<br /> <br /> In the room, a man and a woman were half-dressed.<br /> <br /> Seeing Sylvia's appeasing posture on the bed, Ethan couldn't contain his anger, and tears involuntarily flowed out.<br /> <br /> "Sylvia, why are you treating me like this!" Ethan's eyes were filled with pain as he clenched his teeth and stared at Sylvia.<br /> <br /> A hint of panic flashed in Sylvia's eyes, but she quickly calmed down.<br /> <br /> Instead, she looked at Ethan with an indescribable coldness.<br /> <br /> "Now that you've found out, I have nothing more to say." Sylvia sneered.<br /> <br /> "Why are you treating me like this? I've been with your family for three years, living worse than a dog! You asked me to squat, and I never dared to stand, but why did you betray me!"<br /> <br /> Ethan almost roared, his face covered in tears.<br /> <br /> Sylvia sneered, "No woman could like a useless loser like you."<br /> <br /> She turned to look at the muscular man beside her.<br /> <br /> "Do you know who he is? Gary Brown, the Brown family's young master! To be honest, we've been secretly together for a long time. If it weren't for my grandfather not allowing us to divorce, I would have kicked you out a long time ago!" A mocking look flashed in Sylvia's eyes.<br /> <br /> Hearing this, Ethan couldn't hold back his tears anymore.<br /> <br /> "For three years, I've been tiptoeing around, afraid of making you unhappy."<br /> <br /> "When you were hungry, I got up in the middle of the night to cook for you. You said you liked the flowers in South City, and I rode my electric bike for over an hour to pick them for you."<br /> <br /> "I..."<br /> <br /> "Enough!" Sylvia impatiently interrupted Ethan.<br /> <br /> Obviously, these once warm moments could not touch this heartless woman.<br /> <br /> "You think being nice to me is enough? If it weren't for my grandfather insisting on me marrying you, do you think I would have looked at you? A useless loser! Can't you see what you're made of!" Sylvia sneered.<br /> <br /> "Look at Gary Brown!" Sylvia pointed to the man beside her.<br /> <br /> "At such a young age, he already has assets worth nearly a hundred million! This time, he's even cooperating with the Taylor family from the Capital City! The Taylor family, do you know what that means!? Do you know what kind of influence the people in the Capital City have? With one word, they can make us soar!" Sylvia laughed coldly.<br /> <br /> "Why are you telling him about the Taylor family from the Capital City? Can a loser like him know about them?" Gary Brown looked at Ethan with a mocking face.<br /> <br /> Ethan's face was full of bitter smiles.<br /> <br /> He was really clueless about business, but he had heard of the Taylor family from the Capital City.<br /> <br /> The entire River City had been reporting on the matter recently, making it hard for Ethan not to know about it.<br /> <br /> Looking at Sylvia's beautiful but cold face, Ethan couldn't help but sob quietly.<br /> <br /> "I've been serving you for three years. Even if it were a dog, there should be some feelings..." Ethan choked.<br /> <br /> Sylvia snorted, "You're not even as good as a dog."<br /> <br /> Gary Brown taunted, "Idiot, if you're sensible, pretend you didn't see anything today, and the three of us can still live happily together. You'd still be eligible to serve your goddess."<br /> <br /> "If you don't know any better... just pack your things and get lost." Gary Brown looked down on Ethan, as if he were the real owner of the house.<br /> <br /> Ethan felt a sense of powerlessness.<br /> <br /> Three years ago, Sylvia's superstitious Grandfather Bill Johnson believed that Ethan would bring luck to the Johnson family, and invited him to become his grandson-in-law.<br /> <br /> It's been three years since Ethan married into the Johnson family, and during these three years, no one in the family, besides Grandfather, had ever looked up to Ethan.<br /> <br /> This made Ethan even more inferior, so he desperately tried to please the Johnson family, fearing that he might upset them.<br /> <br /> But in the end, this was the result.<br /> <br /> "I really am a useless loser." A self-mocking smile appeared on Ethan's lips.<br /> <br /> "After three years, I should have some backbone, right?" Ethan looked at the adulterous couple in front of him, a fierce determination in his eyes.<br /> <br /> "What? You can't take it?" Gary Brown noticed Ethan's look but was not afraid. Instead, he showed a mocking smile.<br /> <br /> Ethan stared at Gary, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth, "You beast, I'll fight you!"<br /> <br /> With that, Ethan rushed towards Gary with all his might!<br /> <br /> However, Ethan, who was physically weak, was no match for Gary.<br /> <br /> His punch didn't even land on Gary before he was kicked to the ground by Gary's foot.<br /> <br /> The intense pain in his abdomen made it almost impossible for Ethan to stand up."Damn it, you piece of trash still dare to fight me?" Gary Brown burst into anger.<br /> <br /> He rushed to Ethan Smith and began punching and kicking him.<br /> <br /> This only made Ethan Smith more desperate.<br /> <br /> He lay on the cold ground, allowing the fists to fall on him.<br /> <br /> "I'm living such a worthless life." Ethan Smith hugged his head, a bitter smile on his face.<br /> <br /> "I can't even seek revenge, I... I don't deserve to live..." Ethan Smith's eyes gradually became hollow.<br /> <br /> The endless punches and kicks caused Ethan Smith's mouth to bleed.<br /> <br /> "Enough, hitting such trash is simply an insult to you." Sylvia Johnson stopped Gary Brown and spoke in a delicate voice.<br /> <br /> Gary Brown spat on Ethan Smith's face and pointed at the door, saying, "Get the fuck out of here right now! Or I'll beat you to death!"<br /> <br /> With difficulty, Ethan Smith crawled up from the ground and walked out step by step.<br /> <br /> He hated! He hated the adulterous couple! And he hated himself for not being able to take revenge, for being worthless!<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith couldn't accept it, he couldn't just leave humiliated!<br /> <br /> "Sylvia, you'll regret this." Ethan turned around and said coldly.<br /> <br /> Gary Brown pointed at Ethan Smith and cursed, "Get the fuck out already, heard me?"<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and left the Johnson residence.<br /> <br /> At the door, he happened to meet his mother-in-law, Brenda Johnson, who had just returned.<br /> <br /> Brenda Johnson glanced at the Mercedes-Benz parked outside the door, seemingly understanding everything.<br /> <br /> "Mom..." Ethan Smith called out somewhat aggrieved.<br /> <br /> Brenda Johnson's gaze was as cold as ice.<br /> <br /> She waved her hand impatiently, saying, "Since you know it all, just accept it! To be honest, the entire Johnson family agrees that you should leave!"<br /> <br /> This made Ethan Smith even more desperate.<br /> <br /> "Is grandpa also agreeing?" Ethan Smith didn't want to give up.<br /> <br /> Brenda Johnson sneered, "This time, his agreement doesn't matter! The Brown family has already established a partnership with the Taylor Family of the Capital City! If we can get on this big ship, our Johnson family can also benefit!"<br /> <br /> "When this involves the development of the entire family, do you think just him, an old man, could change anything?" Brenda Johnson scoffed.<br /> <br /> "As for his talk about good luck, it's clearly just superstitious nonsense."<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith didn't say anything else.<br /> <br /> The indifference of the entire Johnson family left him heartbroken and lost.<br /> <br /> He wiped his mouth and walked out of the Johnson residence.<br /> <br /> The physical pain and the emotional blow were almost too much for Ethan Smith to bear.<br /> <br /> At last, he fainted on the street.<br /> <br /> At this moment,<br /> <br /> A Maybach with a license plate from the Capital City parked steadily in front of Ethan Smith.<br /> <br /> The car window slowly rolled down, a long-haired, elegant girl frowned at Ethan Smith who was lying on the ground.<br /> <br /> "Is he the fiance grandfather arranged for me?" The girl blinked her big eyes, carefully examining Ethan Smith.<br /> <br /> But seeing the miserable appearance of Ethan Smith, she couldn't help but feel somewhat disgusted.<br /> <br /> "Miss, are we... mistaken? Didn't the old man say that he must be an extraordinary person?" A man dressed as a bodyguard in the car frowned and said.<br /> <br /> Emily Taylor didn't say anything, waved her hand, and said, "Just bring him to the car first."<br /> <br /> "Yes, Miss." Several bodyguards quickly got out of the car and dragged Ethan Smith into the car.<br /> <br /> Looking at the pathetic appearance of the man in front of her, Emily Taylor's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.<br /> <br /> "Grandpa... are you really going to make me marry such a loser?" Emily Taylor couldn't help but sigh softly. In her mind, she recalled the words her grandfather had said before he left:<br /> <br /> "Emily, our Taylor family owes his family a favor! Without Ethan Smith's father, the Taylor family would never be where it is today!"<br /> <br /> "Ethan Smith's father left him a token, and he once told me to give it to him when he turned thirty."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Smith is a highly accomplished person, and I believe that his son will not be any worse. Emily, remember, always treat Ethan Smith kindly."<br /> <br /> Emily Taylor's mind was filled with her grandfather's advice, and her beautiful face showed a helpless smile.<br /> <br /> "If he really is someone with potential, I will agree to grandpa." Emily Taylor murmured in her heart.<br /> <br /> "But... if he's just a loser, I'm afraid I can't obey grandpa's orders." Emily Taylor sighed.<br /> <br /> She fondled a piece of green jade pendant, which was the token her grandfather had asked her to give Ethan Smith.<br /> <br /> Emily Taylor carefully put the jade pendant on Ethan Smith and then turned her head.<br /> <br /> "Returning the token, the Taylor family has kept its promise." Emily Taylor thought to herself.<br /> <br /> Yet, she hadn't noticed that the bloody jade pendant softly glowed and quickly melted into Ethan Smith's body as soon as it touched him.<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> The car slowly drove down the road.<br /> <br /> "Miss, the River City Lord and River City's business circle want to invite you to dinner." At this time, Emily Taylor's secretary suddenly spoke.<br /> <br /> Emily Taylor resumed her usual indifference.<br /> <br /> She coldly said: "Reject them all, take Ethan Smith to the hospital first."<br /> <br /> The secretary opened his mouth, smiling awkwardly: "Miss, you...aren't really going to marry such a loser, are you?"<br /> <br /> Hearing this, a hint of ice flashed through Emily Taylor's eyes.<br /> <br /> "Do I need to report how I make my decisions with you?" Emily Taylor coldly said.<br /> <br /> The secretary's face changed immediately, he hurriedly slapped himself and said, "Miss, I... overstepped my bounds."<br /> <br /> After speaking, Emily Taylor covered her mouth with her jade hand and started coughing violently.<br /> <br /> "Miss, it's time for you to take your medicine..." The secretary hurriedly reminded her.<br /> <br /> "Start the car." However, Emily Taylor did not pay any attention to his words and just gave the order expressionlessly.<br /> <br /> The car rushed towards the hospital.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Ethan Smith, who was unconscious, seemed to have a dream.<br /> <br /> In the dream, it was an endless pitch-black void.<br /> <br /> And in this darkness, there was a man, coldly staring at Ethan Smith.<br /> <br /> He had a towering stature, with an air of a sovereign, as if a true god had descended! Inspiring unparalleled reverence!<br /> <br /> "Where...where is this? And who are you?" Ethan Smith said, somewhat panicky.<br /> <br /> The man turned around, coldly looking at Ethan Smith.<br /> <br /> "I never thought that my son would be such a loser." The man said coldly.<br /> <br /> Son?<br /> <br /> Hearing this, Ethan Smith's heart felt like it was being stabbed by something!<br /> <br /> Since he was a child, Ethan Smith had never seen his parents!<br /> <br /> As for family affection, it was something he longed for but could never reach!<br /> <br /> Although he had never seen the man before, Ethan Smith felt an inexplicable closeness to him!<br /> <br /> "Are you...my father? Dad, I miss you so much..." Ethan Smith anxiously reached out, trying to touch his father.<br /> <br /> But his hand passed straight through him.<br /> <br /> "At the age of thirty, a man should have achieved something. My inheritance is now yours." The man coldly spoke.<br /> <br /> "If you're a failure, I believe the Taylor family will take care of you for the rest of your life, and I'll never see you."<br /> <br /> "If you have ambition, nothing in this world can stop you!"<br /> <br /> "I look forward to meeting you."<br /> <br /> After finishing these words, the scene before him began to fade away.<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith cried out like a madman: "Dad, don't go, Dad!!"<br /> <br /> But no matter how Ethan Smith shouted, he couldn't stop the scene from disappearing.<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith was devastated, he knelt on the ground, tears in his eyes, and in unbearable pain.<br /> <br /> He had always dreamed of meeting his birth parents, wanting to share his grievances like other people.<br /> <br /> But no matter what he did, he couldn't stop the collapse of the scene before him.<br /> <br /> Soon, a mysterious memory surged into Ethan Smith's mind!<br /> <br /> There were sacred medical arts, cultivation methods, and ancient and modern arcane techniques...<br /> <br /> In his dantian, a hint of green energy slowly flowed.<br /> <br /> Before Ethan Smith could react, everything went black before his eyes.<br /> <br /> By the time he woke up again, he was lying on a huge double bed.<br /> <br /> In front of him was a girl with long hair, fluttering in the wind, and slender legs.<br /> <br /> "You're awake?" Emily Taylor looked up and down at Ethan Smith, as if trying to see through him.<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith hurriedly sat up from the bed and nervously said: "Who... who are you?"<br /> <br /> Emily Taylor didn't seem to be in a hurry to reveal her identity, so she said: "My name is Emily, I found you passed out on the street and saved you."<br /> <br /> "But what I find strange is... the doctor said there's nothing wrong with you." Emily Taylor blinked her eyes, seemingly curious about this man.<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith frowned slightly, murmuring: "Could it be that it wasn't a dream just now?"<br /> <br /> Thinking of this, Ethan Smith quickly closed his eyes.<br /> <br /> As expected! The memory was still there! It seemed to be merging with his own!<br /> <br /> And the energy in his dantian showed no signs of disappearing!<br /> <br /> "It's really... true!" From desperation, hope ignited in Ethan Smith's heart!Medical scriptures, cultivation secret techniques... all of these could help Ethan Smith completely change his current predicament!<br /> <br /> "I saved you, and you're not even planning on saying thank you? You're really an impolite person." Emily Taylor rolled her eyes.<br /> <br /> Only then did Ethan Smith come back to his senses. He quickly got up and bowed to Emily Taylor, saying somewhat awkwardly, "Mis...Miss Emily, thank you for saving me..."<br /> <br /> Looking at Ethan Smith's embarrassed appearance, Emily Taylor couldn't help but laugh.<br /> <br /> For some reason, she suddenly felt that the silly man in front of her seemed a bit adorable.<br /> <br /> "Alright, I was just teasing you." Emily Taylor waved her hand.<br /> <br /> After saying that, Emily Taylor covered her mouth again and started coughing violently.<br /> <br /> At this moment, a man dressed like a doctor walked in from outside.<br /> <br /> "Miss, it's time for you to take your medicine." The doctor said, holding a medical box.<br /> <br /> Emily Taylor nodded.<br /> <br /> There was already warm water prepared on the table, and the doctor took out a whole table full of medicine.<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith watched Emily Taylor in front of him, and countless medical scriptures suddenly appeared in his mind.<br /> <br /> This made Ethan Smith feel a little excited.<br /> <br /> He hesitated for a moment, then walked up and asked, "Miss Emily, are you feeling unwell?"<br /> <br /> Emily Taylor glanced at Ethan Smith and casually said, "Yeah, I have asthma. I've had it since I was little."<br /> <br /> Asthma!<br /> <br /> Instantly, a treatment method appeared in Ethan Smith's mind!<br /> <br /> However, years of low self-esteem made Ethan Smith somewhat afraid to speak up.<br /> <br /> He just stood there, watching Emily Taylor finish taking all the medicine on the table.<br /> <br /> But after taking the medicine, Emily Taylor's symptoms did not improve at all.<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith watched this scene, took a deep breath, and gathered the courage to step forward, saying, "Miss Emily, would you let me have a try? Maybe I can cure your disease."<br /> <br /> Hearing these words, a touch of surprise flashed through Emily Taylor's beautiful eyes.<br /> <br /> Then she couldn't help but laugh, "I have asthma, it's incurable. You should know that, right?"<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith quickly explained, "I don't know how to explain it to you, but... I still want to give it a try. Maybe it'll work..."<br /> <br /> At this point, Emily Taylor's brow furrowed slightly.<br /> <br /> Even the doctor by her side scoffed, "Kid, you're not even a doctor. What makes you think you can cure her?"<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith's face turned completely red, looking rather embarrassed.<br /> <br /> "I've seen many people like you. You just think our miss is pretty and want to take advantage of her, don't you?" The doctor continued.<br /> <br /> "If I'm not mistaken, your treatment method requires skin-to-skin contact, right?"<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith opened his mouth, forcing himself to say, "It does need..."<br /> <br /> "Hahaha, Miss, you see, this kid is nothing more than a despicable wimp." The doctor sneered.<br /> <br /> Emily Taylor's face grew colder.<br /> <br /> She looked at Ethan Smith and asked, "Do you know the consequences of trying to take advantage of me?"<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith hurriedly defended himself, "No... that's not it. I really don't want to take advantage of you. I can actually cure your disease!"<br /> <br /> "What a joke," the doctor snorted.<br /> <br /> "Although asthma is not a serious illness, it's been a chronic problem that's difficult to cure! Miss, I suggest cutting off this kid's hand and throwing him out!" The doctor said coldly.<br /> <br /> Emily Taylor didn't say a word.<br /> <br /> She looked Ethan Smith up and down, thinking about something.<br /> <br /> "I can give you a chance," finally, Emily Taylor spoke.<br /> <br /> "But if there's no effect, you'll have a miserable end." Emily Taylor said, blinking her eyes.<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith could tell that Emily Taylor was not to be trifled with, but at this moment, he was full of confidence.<br /> <br /> He was also eager to test whether the medical scriptures in his mind were real or not.<br /> <br /> "Alright!" Ethan Smith nodded vigorously.<br /> <br /> "Miss, do you really believe him? He's obviously..."<br /> <br /> "Shut up!" The doctor wanted to say more, but Emily Taylor's sharp rebuke silenced him.<br /> <br /> The doctor immediately shut up, begrudgingly retreating to one side.<br /> <br /> "How do you want me to cooperate with you, Dr. Ethan?" Emily Taylor asked playfully.<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith's face turned red, and he whispered, "I... I need to put my hand on your chest..."<br /> <br /> After saying this, Ethan Smith's face was red all the way down to his neck.<br /> <br /> Lowering his head, the snowy white scene on Emily Taylor's chest was truly a beautiful sight.<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> "Kid, you really have some nerve!" The doctor was suddenly furious!<br /> <br /> In their hearts, Emily Taylor was an untouchable goddess, a heavenly beauty! How could they tolerate a useless fool dishonoring her?<br /> <br /> Even Emily's bodyguards took a step forward in unison!<br /> <br /> Emily looked at Ethan Smith with a somewhat icy expression on her face.<br /> <br /> After a moment of silence, Emily finally agreed.<br /> <br /> "If he's deceiving me, at least I can report back." Emily thought to herself.<br /> <br /> So, Emily lay on the bed, her white chest bare in front of Ethan Smith.<br /> <br /> Ethan blushed and walked over to Emily.<br /> <br /> He whispered, "Miss Emily, I... pardon me."<br /> <br /> Having said that, Ethan summoned his courage, reached out his hand, and slowly placed it on Emily's body.<br /> <br /> Emily was simply too beautiful! Compared to her, Sylvia Johnson was nothing!<br /> <br /> And her figure was truly extraordinary, making it difficult for anyone to control themselves upon seeing her.<br /> <br /> The doctor and bodyguards nearby were practically bulging their eyes out.<br /> <br /> If it weren't for Emily's forbearance, they probably would have minced Ethan into pieces!<br /> <br /> Ethan suppressed his wild thoughts and focused on stabilizing his mind.<br /> <br /> Following the method in the medical scriptures, he channeled the qi in his dantian like a swimming dragon and used it.<br /> <br /> A warm current flowed from Ethan's palm and slowly entered Emily's body.<br /> <br /> Emily only felt warmth, and her entire body was slightly heated, as if she was submerged in a hot spring.<br /> <br /> Time passed by the second, and sweat began to roll down Ethan's forehead.<br /> <br /> In the blink of an eye, ten minutes had passed.<br /> <br /> This made Emily somewhat angry.<br /> <br /> There had to be a limit to taking advantage! Wasn't it enough?<br /> <br /> Moreover, besides the warmth in her body, Emily hardly noticed any improvement!<br /> <br /> On the contrary, she felt breathless and stifled in her chest, unable to help but cough!<br /> <br /> "It seems that grandpa really overestimated him." Emily secretly shook her head in her heart.<br /> <br /> At this moment, Ethan finally took his hand away from Emily's body.<br /> <br /> Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he whispered, "Miss Emily, I've just finished your treatment. You should recover in about ten minutes."<br /> <br /> Emily sat up on the bed and couldn't help but sneer, "Ten minutes to recover? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"<br /> <br /> After saying this, Emily coughed violently again, her face turning somewhat pale.<br /> <br /> Ethan stood there, looking uneasy and not knowing where to put his hands.<br /> <br /> "Miss, let us chop him up!" The burly bodyguards shouted.<br /> <br /> However, Emily waved her hand and glanced at the clock on the wall, saying, "I'll give him ten minutes."<br /> <br /> Ethan was also unsure deep down.<br /> <br /> This fantastic encounter made it hard for Ethan to distinguish between reality and a dream.<br /> <br /> The bodyguards came forward and surrounded Ethan, as if fearing that he would run away.<br /> <br /> In the blink of an eye, nine minutes had passed.<br /> <br /> Emily looked at the clock and coldly said, "It seems you really are lying to me. How was it? Did you enjoy touching me?"<br /> <br /> Ethan couldn't help but give a bitter smile, knowing that there was no point in explaining himself at this point, so he simply said nothing.<br /> <br /> The bodyguards stepped forward, seemingly ready to take action.<br /> <br /> There was no panic on Ethan's face.<br /> <br /> He had completely lost hope in the world. Death, perhaps, would be a relief.<br /> <br /> "Forget it." At this point, Emily waved her hand.<br /> <br /> "For some reason, I'll spare your life, but don't let me see you again." Emily said coldly.<br /> <br /> Ethan didn't say much; he stood up and bowed to Emily.<br /> <br /> "Miss Emily, I'm sorry for bothering you." After saying this, Ethan turned around and prepared to leave.<br /> <br /> "Miss, are we really letting him go?" After Ethan left, the bodyguards said with dissatisfaction.<br /> <br /> Emily glanced at them without saying a word.<br /> <br /> "Consider it a favor to his father." Emily sighed with some regret, but there was still a hint of disappointment on her face.<br /> <br /> Because before she came to River City, her grandpa had praised Ethan Smith to the skies, which filled Emily's heart with expectations.<br /> <br /> "Grandpa, it seems you really misjudged him." Emily sighed softly.<br /> <br /> At this moment, Emily suddenly felt a wave of warmth!<br /> <br /> Then, she coughed once – a mouthful of black filth spat out from her mouth!<br /> <br /> "Miss, are you alright?"<br /> <br /> "What the hell did that guy do! I'm going to catch him right now!"<br /> <br /> "I want to skin him alive!"<br /> <br /> Emily, however, quickly waved her hand.<br /> <br /> She felt her chest, surprised to find that the suffocating sensation that had lingered for years was gone! The itchiness in her throat had also completely disappeared!<br /> <br /> "It really worked?" A touch of surprise appeared on Emily's cold and beautiful face.<br /> <br /> "Quick, go and bring him back!" Emily hurriedly ordered.<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> Although the bodyguards didn't understand the situation, they didn't dare to go against Emily Taylor's wishes and quickly chased after Ethan Smith.<br /> <br /> At this moment, Ethan was aimlessly walking along the street, looking extremely desperate.<br /> <br /> He didn't even know where he should go.<br /> <br /> Home? He definitely couldn't go back there. Would he end up living on the streets?<br /> <br /> "Dad, I've let you down," Ethan thought of the man in his dream.<br /> <br /> Just then, a Bentley drove up swiftly, blocking Ethan's way!<br /> <br /> Then, four or five bodyguards jumped out of the car.<br /> <br /> "Don't go!" The bodyguards blocked Ethan's path.<br /> <br /> "Miss Taylor wants you to go back with us," They said expressionlessly.<br /> <br /> Ethan thought Emily wouldn't let him off the hook, so he said with a bitter smile, "I'll take responsibility for what I've done. I'll go back with you."<br /> <br /> So, Ethan got into the car with them.<br /> <br /> There was silence throughout the ride.<br /> <br /> Soon, a burly bodyguard gripped Ethan's arm and brought him before Emily.<br /> <br /> "Miss Taylor, I've caught him for you!" The bodyguard pushed Ethan in front of Emily.<br /> <br /> Emily frowned slightly.<br /> <br /> She slowly stood up and walked to the bodyguard.<br /> <br /> "Who told you to treat him like this?" Emily asked coldly.<br /> <br /> The bodyguard was taken aback, stammering, "I...I..."<br /> <br /> "Apologize to Mr. Smith," Emily said coldly.<br /> <br /> "Miss Taylor, I..."<br /> <br /> "I told you to apologize!" Emily interrupted the bodyguard's words with a sharp rebuke!<br /> <br /> The bodyguard's face turned red.<br /> <br /> Apologizing to such a waste of space like Ethan against his will.<br /> <br /> But no one dared to disobey Emily's orders, so he reluctantly bowed down.<br /> <br /> "So...sorry, Mr. Smith," The bodyguard bent down, not even daring to raise his head.<br /> <br /> Ethan quickly replied, "Miss Taylor, it's fine. It's not his fault. Please, let him stand up..."<br /> <br /> Emily finally nodded and coldly said, "You all can leave now."<br /> <br /> Everyone left the room one after another.<br /> <br /> Emily opened a bottle of red wine, poured a glass for Ethan, and then smiled, "I never expected that you'd be a skillful doctor."<br /> <br /> Ethan was surprised and asked happily, "Miss Taylor, does that mean... your illness is cured?"<br /> <br /> "Or what?" Now it was Emily's turn to be surprised.<br /> <br /> "That's great, that's great!" Ethan's heart was reignited in an instant!<br /> <br /> It seemed that everything was real!<br /> <br /> "But I'm curious, with your medical skills, how did you end up like this?" Emily asked with interest.<br /> <br /> Ethan sighed softly upon hearing her words.<br /> <br /> "Miss Taylor, I don't know how to explain it to you..." Ethan said with a bitter smile.<br /> <br /> He couldn't say that he had a dream and suddenly acquired medical skills, right? People would think he's a fool if he said that.<br /> <br /> However, Emily thought Ethan was just being modest and low-key, which instead increased her liking for him.<br /> <br /> "Skillful but unprincipled?" Emily joked.<br /> <br /> Ethan gave an awkward laugh but didn't speak.<br /> <br /> "Tell me, how do you want me to repay you? Money? Or something else?" Emily asked playfully, as if hinting at something.<br /> <br /> But Ethan quickly waved his hands, "Miss Taylor, I don't need anything. You saved me; I should be the one repaying you."<br /> <br /> "Really? You don't want anything?" Emily smiled.<br /> <br /> "No matter what it is, I can agree to it, you know," Emily's eyes were filled with anticipation.<br /> <br /> Ethan still shook his head, "I really don't need anything. Thank you for your kindness."<br /> <br /> Hearing Ethan's answer, a glimmer of surprise flashed in Emily's eyes.<br /> <br /> It seemed that Ethan Smith, at the very least, was a kind and sincere man.<br /> <br /> Just then, Ethan's phone suddenly rang.<br /> <br /> Seeing the caller ID, Ethan's face didn't look too good.<br /> <br /> It was a phone call from Sylvia Johnson.<br /> <br /> Ethan answered the phone and walked aside.<br /> <br /> Once the call connected, Sylvia's harsh voice came through, "Are you dead yet? If you're not dead, hurry up and get back here!"<br /> <br /> Such coldness angered Ethan.<br /> <br /> He gritted his teeth and said, "After what you've done, why should I go back?"<br /> <br /> Sylvia on the other end burst into laughter.<br /> <br /> "Ethan Smith, don't tell me you thought I wanted you to come back? I'm telling you to come back to sign our divorce papers!" Sylvia sneered.<br /> <br /> "You better not cling to me, or Gary Brown will kill you!" Sylvia snorted.<br /> <br /> Ethan's fists clenched unconsciously.<br /> <br /> He gritted his teeth and said, "Sylvia, you're an animal! Don't worry, I won't bother you! But I'm telling you, you'll definitely regret this!"<br /> <br /> "Heh, the thing I regret the most is marrying a loser like you," Sylvia sneered.<br /> <br /> Then, she hung up the phone.<br /> <br /> Ethan's expression was complicated.<br /> <br /> It was impossible not to have feelings after three years.<br /> <br /> But more than that, it was humiliation and anger.<br /> <br /> "What's wrong?" Emily asked with a smile as she took a sip of red wine.<br /> <br /> Ethan shook his head and said, "Miss Taylor, I... I need to go home. There's something I have to deal with..."<br /> <br /> Emily blinked and asked, "Divorce?"<br /> <br /> Ethan was surprised and asked, "How did you know?"<br /> <br /> "I guessed," Emily casually replied.<br /> <br /> "I'll go with you," Emily stood up and offered.<br /> <br /> "No...no need," Ethan waved his hands hastily.<br /> <br /> Emily persistently replied, "I'll go with you. Don't make a fuss."<br /> <br /> With no other choice, Ethan followed Emily out of the house.<br /> <br /> As soon as they stepped out, Emily's secretary approached her.<br /> <br /> He whispered into Emily's ear, "Miss Taylor, the Chuzzle Province governor and the commander of the Chuzzle Battle Zone have arrived and invited you to a dinner..."<br /> <br /> Hearing this, Emily couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.<br /> <br /> She rubbed her pale forehead and muttered, "What a bother... tell them to wait a bit. I'll be there later."<br /> <br /> "Yes, Miss," the secretary nodded in response.<br /> <br /> Afterward, Emily drove up to Ethan.<br /> <br /> "Get in," Emily beckoned with her hand.<br /> <br /> Ethan couldn't refuse and got into the car.<br /> <br /> Soon, Ethan arrived at the Johnson family's entrance.<br /> <br /> "Miss Taylor, I'm home. Thank you for bringing me here," Ethan got out of the car and said politely.<br /> <br /> To Ethan's surprise, Emily also got out of the car.<br /> <br /> She flicked her hair back and smiled generously, "I'll come in with you."<br /> <br /> "Huh?" Ethan was taken aback.<br /> <br /> Emily smiled, "I want to see what your family is like."<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> This made Ethan Smith feel very embarrassed.<br /> <br /> Because he knew very well that once he went home, he would definitely be humiliated.<br /> <br /> Ethan didn't want anyone to see him in this pathetic state.<br /> <br /> However, Emily Taylor seemed to see through Ethan's thoughts.<br /> <br /> She chuckled, "Some difficulties, as long as you face them, are no longer difficult, right?"<br /> <br /> Ethan took a deep breath, nodded, and then walked into the house with Emily.<br /> <br /> In the living room, the family gathered around.<br /> <br /> Gary Brown openly held Sylvia Johnson in his arms.<br /> <br /> But instead of being reproachful, Ethan's mother-in-law, Brenda Johnson, brought Gary tea and water.<br /> <br /> This scene made it impossible for Ethan to remain calm.<br /> <br /> He clenched his fists, and just as he was about to speak, Emily pulled on Ethan's arm and shook her head slightly.<br /> <br /> Ethan looked at Emily, suppressing his anger.<br /> <br /> "Yo, we're not even divorced yet, and you've already found a little slut?" Sylvia looked at Emily with some displeasure in her eyes.<br /> <br /> Although she had no feelings for Ethan, seeing him find someone else so quickly made her extremely unhappy.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Gary stared at Emily, almost mesmerized.<br /> <br /> Because this woman was just too beautiful!<br /> <br /> No matter her figure, her appearance, or her temperament, they were all irresistible!<br /> <br /> Compared to her, Sylvia at his side instantly paled in comparison.<br /> <br /> "This is my friend, please show some respect." Ethan said coldly.<br /> <br /> Sylvia snorted lightly, ignored Ethan, and instead sarcastically said, "Tsk tsk, girl, you really have no taste for picking up something I've cast away. Do you know that he is just a useless loser?"<br /> <br /> Emily didn't get angry. She slightly brushed her hair and said calmly, "Incompetent women rely on men to rise to power, I'm not like you."<br /> <br /> Upon hearing this, Sylvia was instantly enraged!<br /> <br /> "You!" Sylvia was trembling with anger, but she couldn't find any words to refute!<br /> <br /> Gary looked at Emily, swallowing his saliva. It was impossible not to be attracted to such a beauty.<br /> <br /> "Miss, you don't look like an ordinary person. May I ask boldly, what business do you do?" Gary asked with a smile.<br /> <br /> Emily thought for a moment and said, "I do all kinds of business, real estate, investment, internet projects, and so on."<br /> <br /> "Real estate?" Gary's eyes suddenly brightened.<br /> <br /> He said somewhat proudly, "Miss, do you know that recently the Taylor Family of the Capital City is coming to our River City for development?"<br /> <br /> Emily nodded calmly, "I know."<br /> <br /> Gary said with some pride, "I'm not hiding anything. My Brown family has already got the chance to cooperate with the Taylor family! Miss, are you interested in working with me?"<br /> <br /> Gary's intention was clear as day. He wanted to use the Taylor family to tempt Emily.<br /> <br /> But instead of being grateful, Emily "pfffft" laughed out loud.<br /> <br /> "The Brown family, right? Okay, I'll remember that." Emily laughed.<br /> <br /> Gary thought he had a chance, and his heart was overjoyed. He took out a business card and said, "If you need anything, feel free to contact me."<br /> <br /> "What are you doing!" Sylvia said unhappily.<br /> <br /> Gary coughed and quietly stepped aside.<br /> <br /> Sylvia took out a divorce agreement and slammed it in front of Ethan.<br /> <br /> "Sign this, and I'll have nothing to do with you." Sylvia snorted coldly.<br /> <br /> Ethan clenched his fists, stared fiercely at Sylvia, and said, "Sylvia, you will definitely regret this."<br /> <br /> "Enough, stop wasting time!" Sylvia said impatiently.<br /> <br /> Ethan didn't say anything more. He picked up the pen, quickly signed his name, and then threw it at Sylvia."Sooner or later, I will make you two adulterers kneel before me and apologize!" Ethan Smith's eyes were full of bloodshot. He would never forget this humiliation in his life.<br /> <br /> However, Sylvia Johnson and Gary Brown couldn't help but burst into laughter.<br /> <br /> "Idiot, we're about to collaborate with the Taylor family, and we might even become the richest people in River City! And you? You're just a worthless loser!" Sylvia Johnson mocked.<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith took a deep breath, said nothing, and walked out with Emily Taylor.<br /> <br /> Once they got into the car, Ethan couldn't hold back anymore.<br /> <br /> He clenched his teeth tightly: "You just wait!"<br /> <br /> Now with the inheritance in his mind, Ethan was full of confidence.<br /> <br /> At that moment, Emily Taylor suddenly asked, "Do you hate them?"<br /> <br /> Ethan glanced at Emily and smiled bitterly, "Any man would collapse from such humiliation."<br /> <br /> Emily blinked her eyes, as if deep in thought.<br /> <br /> Later, Emily drove Ethan to the Dragon Rising Community in the center of River City.<br /> <br /> She handed Ethan a key and pointed to a nearby villa, "You can stay here for now."<br /> <br /> Ethan looked up in astonishment at such a luxurious house.<br /> <br /> He shook his head, "Miss Emily, this house is too good... I can't accept it.."<br /> <br /> Emily Taylor shrugged, "This is already my worst house."<br /> <br /> Ethan was speechless.<br /> <br /> At the moment, he really had nowhere else to go, so he accepted Emily's key.<br /> <br /> "Miss Emily, I will never forget your kindness," Ethan said, gripping the key with determination in his eyes.<br /> <br /> Emily rolled her eyes, "Fool, focus on taking care of yourself first."<br /> <br /> With that, Emily drove away from there.<br /> <br /> At dusk, Emily rode in a Maybach with a license plate from the Capital City to a dinner party.<br /> <br /> This dinner gathered almost all the big shots in Chuzzle Province! Even River City's richest man could only serve tea on the side.<br /> <br /> On the way, Emily leaned on her hand, lost in thought.<br /> <br /> "Miss, do you really want to marry that loser?" The secretary couldn't help but ask.<br /> <br /> Emily glanced at him and said, "To be honest, I am starting to believe my grandfather's words."<br /> <br /> "Believe the old Master's words?" The secretary was somewhat anxious.<br /> <br /> "He's obviously a useless loser! How can he compare to those elegantly dressed young men in the Capital City?" The secretary reminded urgently.<br /> <br /> Emily shook her head, "I don't think so. You see, he has such amazing skills but he's so modest, and... His life is so difficult now, but he didn't ask for any reward for saving me."<br /> <br /> "If your wife humiliated you like this, what would you do?" Emily asked.<br /> <br /> The secretary frowned and snorted, "I would definitely not let them off!"<br /> <br /> "Right!" Emily laughed.<br /> <br /> "He didn't ask me for help, which means he still has integrity," Emily smiled.<br /> <br /> The secretary muttered, "Maybe he just put up with it."<br /> <br /> "No, I think he will achieve something great in the future," Emily's eyes were filled with anticipation.<br /> <br /> The secretary smiled bitterly, "The future? Even if he worked hard for ten lifetimes, he might not be able to compare to those elegantly dressed young men in the Capital City."<br /> <br /> "That's not necessarily true." Emily shook her head, "Boys... Just give them some time."<br /> <br /> As she said this, Emily suddenly changed the topic, "By the way, do we have a company called the Brown family in our list of collaborators?"<br /> <br /> The secretary quickly checked his notebook and nodded, "Yes, Miss. Indeed, the Brown family is very sincere and their company is top-notch in River City. They're a good partner."<br /> <br /> Emily "Oh"ed and without thinking said, "Kick them out."<br /> ...

Frankly, I normally see these numbers in women ten or fifteen years your senior.”<br /> <br /> “What?” I murmur, not believing my ears. I’ve been trying to get pregnant for years. I’m only 30, I should have plenty of eggs left.<br /> <br /> “In terms of fertility, you have very little time left.” She continues. “If you want to conceive, you need to do so before your next cycle begins.”<br /> <br /> “My next cycle?” I repeat, my mouth hanging open in shock. I love kids more than anything, and though it might not be everyone’s ambition, I want nothing more than to be a mother.<br /> <br /> I have to get home and tell my boyfriend this news, and there’s not a moment to waste.<br /> <br /> I make it home in record time, bursting through the door and opening my mouth to call for Mike, but stopping dead in my tracks. As soon as I walk inside I see a pair of high heels and a handbag by the door – neither of which belong to me.<br /> <br /> I cock my ears towards the bedroom, and my stomach churns when I hear the unmistakable sound of moaning, accompanied by a steady thump thump thump, as the bed collides with the wall. Worse even than realizing that Mike is clearly in there with another woman, is realizing who he’s with. I know that handbag, and I know those shoes – they belong to my best friend, Kate. <br /> <br /> “Fuck, Ella is so stupid.” Mike laughs, “can you believe she actually expects me to have a baby with her?”<br /> <br /> Kate snorts, “she’s delusional. I don’t know how you put up with her for so long in the first place.”<br /> <br /> “If she wasn’t so beautiful I never would have given her the time of day.” Mike scoffs. “Thankfully daily doses of plan B kept her from ever conceiving.”<br /> <br /> “The morning after pill?” Kate asks, “how did you manage to give it to her without her realizing?”<br /> <br /> “I put it in her morning coffee.” Mike chortles, sounding far too proud of himself. <br /> <br /> My vision goes completely red as everything finally falls into place. Suddenly it’s clear why I’ve never been able to get pregnant, despite having unprotected sex multiple times a week for years. It’s even clear how I could have the eggs of a 45-year-old, if my despicable partner has been secretly feeding me emergency contraceptives every day – there’s no telling what other damage that might have done to my reproductive system. <br /> <br /> Before I can think better of it, I pull the smoke alarm on the wall, wanting to frighten and punish the pair in the bedroom so fiercely that I fear I might attack them when they emerge. Water immediately sprays down from the sprinkler system mounted to the ceiling as a shrill siren fills the air, and I hear Mike and Kate cry out in surprise. <br /> <br /> A few moments later they come rushing out of the bedroom, stopping in their tracks when they see me looming in the doorway. Mike’s eyes go comically wide, “What are you doing home so early?” The snake has the nerve to sound affronted that I surprised him, when he’s the one who’s been sneaking around behind my back for God knows how long. He seems to realize how suspicious it looks that he and Kate are standing there in their underwear and quickly adds, “Kate came to see me so we could plan a surprise for your birthday, but then we spilled coffee all over our clothes so we had to change.”<br /> <br /> Fire blazes in my veins, he must truly believe I’m an idiot if he expects me to buy such a feeble excuse. <br /> <br /> It’s a testament to their horrifically low opinion of me that they buy my act, and I vow to get my revenge one way or another. I can’t believe I wasted so many years – my best years – on this scumbag. And now he may have cost me my future too. As soon as the thought enters my head, I know I can’t afford to waste another moment on Mike, I have more important things to take care of. <br /> <br /> I make my excuses and rush across town for the second time that afternoon, running to the comforting arms of my surrogate sister, Cora. Not only did we grow up together in the orphanage, but she became an OBGYN and now works for the most exclusive sperm bank in the city. I’ve never gone to her before because I always imagined Mike and I would eventually conceive the natural way, but that clearly isn’t an option anymore. <br /> <br /> Even if I could find a man willing to have a baby with me in time, I’m not eager to trust anyone after Mike’s betrayal. I’m going to have to do this on my own, and I know Cora can help me. I don’t have much money, but I have enough savings to pay for the insemination, especially since I basically have one shot and one shot only. <br /> <br /> When I arrive, all my plans to lay out my situation for Cora clearly and concisely go out the window, because the moment I see my sister I fall to pieces. She hugs and kisses me until my tears subside, slowly extracting the story from me piece by piece. When she hears about Mike and Kate she swears up a storm, but that’s nothing compared to her reaction when I explain about my fertility. <br /> <br /> “That little shit! I’ll kill him!” She fumes, studying me with a worried expression. “Ella, if your doctor was right this means you only have one chance to conceive.”<br /> <br /> “I know.” I sniffle. “And if this is going to be my only baby, I don’t want to take any chances. I want the best donor we can find.”<br /> <br /> “Don’t you worry about that.” Cora assures me, “We’ve got donations from actors, models, scientists – it’s only the creme de la creme here.” She glances at the door and lowers her voice. “You didn’t hear it from me, but even Dominic Sinclair sent his samples here for testing.”<br /> <br /> “Dominic Sinclair? I repeat, “the billionaire?” I’ve seen the man around town, but we don’t exactly run in the same circles. He lives in the same neighborhood as my wealthy employer and often says hello to the children I nanny, but he’s always surrounded by bodyguards and is so intimidating I get goosebumps just thinking about him. <br /> <br /> “Oh my god!.” Cora slaps her hand over her mouth. “I wasn’t supposed to tell you that! I don’t know what I was thinking. Apparently he’s no stranger to fertility issues himself, and he trusted us to handle his swimmers over every other lab in the country. I’ve got his sperm in the other room at this very moment.” She frets, “But Ella you can’t tell anyone, you have to promise me.”<br /> <br /> “Of course!” I agree immediately. “I know how important confidentiality is here.”<br /> <br /> “Thank you,” Cora breathes. “Now, I’m going to give you a dossier of our clients so you can pick a donor, and once you’ve chosen we’ll get you knocked up before you can even blink.” <br /> <br /> It’s not an easy decision, but eventually I choose a handsome surgeon whose photo practically makes me swoon. Cora leaves the room only long enough to prepare the sample, and though she looks a bit flustered when she returns, she quickly and professionally completes the insemination, holding my hand when the procedure is finished. “It’s all take care of now, Ella.” She promises, “You can come back in ten days to see if it worked.”<br /> <br /> Ten days. I think dazedly. Ten days to decide my entire future.<br /> <br /> If only I’d known that by the time those ten days were up, my future would no longer belong to me – but to Dominic Sinclair himself. <br /> <br /> Chapter 2<br /> <br /> Six days to go. I think, staring at the date circled on my calendar. Six days until I find out if my dreams are finally going to come true… or if I have to figure out an entirely different plan for my life. <br /> <br /> I’ve thought about nothing else since Cora inseminated me last week, I’m so anxious to find out if I’m pregnant I haven’t even begun to process Mike’s betrayal. <br /> <br /> I’m trying to keep a level head, yet I can’t help but imagine my future with this new baby. Try as I might, I catch myself daydreaming about it constantly. I even find myself humming as I get ready for work in the morning. <br /> <br /> When I arrive at my employer’s estate in the most exclusive neighborhood in Moon Valley – which basically makes it the most exclusive neighborhood in the world, since Moon Valley is one of the most expensive cities on the planet – I’m immediately greeted by two little voices shouting my name in excitement. “Ella!”<br /> <br /> The next thing I know, 3-year-old Millie is hugging my legs while her older brother, Jake, wraps his arms around my middle. “Good morning love puddles!” I exclaim, returning their hugs. “Are you ready for the museum?”<br /> <br /> “Yeah!” They cheer, racing out the door without even stopping to put on coats. It takes a bit of wrangling to get them back inside and bundled up for the cold winter day, but before long we set out into the snow.<br /> <br /> Jake races ahead of Millie and I, impatient to get to the science museum and not seeming to notice that his sister’s tiny legs simply don’t move that fast. Chuckling, I lift Millie into my arms and settle her on my hip. “Goodness, you’re getting too big for this, munchkin.”<br /> <br /> “Nuh-uh,” Millie grins, “You’re justs too little.” <br /> <br /> She might have a point. At five foot one, I don’t exactly have the kind of build suited to heavy lifting. I’m in great shape, but I’ve never been particularly strong. “Smarty pants.” I tease, laughing with the little girl. <br /> <br /> When I look back towards Jake, I realize he’s stopped a few feet ahead of us. My heart skips a beat when I realize why. We’re in front of the Sinclair mansion, and its owner is currently standing in the middle of the sidewalk, his gaze searing me like a firebrand as I approach with Millie. Dominic Sinclair is just about the most handsome man I’ve ever seen, but he’s also one of the most terrifying. <br /> <br /> With dark hair and piercing green eyes, chiseled features and a body so muscular I could swoon, it doesn’t seem fair he gets to look so good and also be so rich. If I didn’t know better I might think it was his wealth or imposing height that makes him so intimidating, after all he’s at least six foot four, which means he towers over me and everyone else around him. However it’s neither of those things, there’s simply an indefinable quality about the man that I can’t put my finger on, one which screams danger. He gives off this energy that’s so raw and animalistic one forgets there’s anyone else in the room. <br /> <br /> Taking a steadying breath, I close the distance between us so Millie can say hello. When she greets him, Dominic drags his attention from me and offers her a smile so genuine that it tugs at my heartstrings. As I watch him talk to my two young charges, I remember what Cora told me about his infertility struggles. He clearly loves children, and I feel a wave of empathy for him. If anyone knows what it’s like to yearn for a family of their own, it’s me. <br /> <br /> Jake is currently showing Dominic his new toy airplane, pulling the matchbox model from his pocket and demonstrating how far it can fly. With a great heave, he sends the toy gliding through the air, only to land in the middle of the street. Before any of us can say a word, Jake races after it, right into the busy road.<br /> <br /> “Jake no, be careful!” I cry, watching him dart out into the path of an oncoming car but feeling frozen by my fear. Before I can contemplate putting Millie down to go after him, a blur of movement whirrs past my vision. I’ve never seen anyone move so fast in my life. Dominic became little more than a hazy outline of himself, chasing after Jake and pulling him out of the way just before the car slams into them. The vehicle’s tires are still screeching when Dominic sets Jake down beside me, his expression suddenly very stern. <br /> <br /> “That was very dangerous.” He scolds gently. “You should never go into the street without looking both ways first.”<br /> <br /> Jake hangs his head. “I’m sorry, I didn’t want my plane to get runned over.” <br /> <br /> “You are a million times more important than a toy.” Dominic tells him firmly, “and you scared your nanny half to death.”<br /> <br /> “I’m sorry, Ella.” Jake sniffles, looking up at me with wide eyes. <br /> <br /> “I know sweetheart, just don’t ever do that again.” I breathe, cuddling him against my side. “Thank you so much.” I say to Dominic, feeling more grateful than I can express. “I have no idea how you moved so fast! It was like something out of a superhero film.”<br /> <br /> “Must have been the adrenaline.” Dominic shrugs, giving Millie another smile before taking his leave. “Enjoy the rest of your day, and stay out of the road young man!”<br /> <br /> “Yes sir!” Jake calls after him, pocketing his airplane. “I really am sorry.” He adds to me. <br /> <br /> “It’s forgotten.” I tell him softly, though I take his hand so that he can’t run off again. <br /> <br /> “It all happened so fast.” I tell Cora later that night. “I mean the more I think about it, the more amazing it seems. One moment he was there, and the next he was gone. It was like magic.”<br /> <br /> “Thank goodness Jake is alright.” She replies, but rather than looking relieved, her face is twisted into a deep grimace.<br /> <br /> Studying my sister’s expression, I realize her grim demeanor is not just about Jake’s near miss. Something else is wrong, and I actually feel guilty for not noticing sooner. “Is everything okay?”<br /> <br /> Cora frowns, “Not really. But you’ve got so much going on right now, it’s not important.”<br /> <br /> “Cora, don’t be ridiculous.” I admonish. “What’s going on?”<br /> <br /> “Well, speaking of Dominic Sinclair,” She begins cryptically, “you know that sperm he sent to us for testing?”<br /> <br /> “Yeah,” I confirm, wondering where on earth this was going. <br /> <br /> “It’s gone missing… and I’m the last person who saw it, not to mention it was in my custody.” She explains, her voice becoming thick with emotion. “Ella, I think… I think I’m going to be fired. And if there’s an investigation I could lose my medical license.”<br /> <br /> “What?” I exclaim. “What do you mean it’s missing? A vial of sperm can’t just get up and walk away.”<br /> <br /> “I know, I think someone had to steal it, but there’s no way of knowing who’s responsible. And it looks like I’m going to have to take the blame.” She shares, her eyes shining with tears. <br /> <br /> “Cora, I can’t believe you didn’t tell me this sooner!” I lament, “They can’t fire you, it isn’t fair.”<br /> <br /> “You don’t understand, Dominic is one of our biggest donors.” Cora explains. “And he’s furious, he basically wants my head on a platter.”<br /> <br /> A week ago I might have believed there was no hope for Cora, but seeing how kind and understanding Dominic was with the kids today makes me wonder if he could really be so heartless. Surely if he understood that Cora would never be so irresponsible he’d show some leniency? I have to try and help her, I would do anything for my sister – even begging a ruthless billionaire for mercy.<br /> <br /> Chapter 3<br /> <br /> Three days to go.<br /> <br /> I repeat these words to myself as I walk down the street, still preoccupied with my possible pregnancy, even as I prepare to go to bat for my sister. In some ways it's a coping mechanism: I’m about to beg Dominic Sinclair to save Cora’s job, and I need a comforting thought to help me get through this. <br /> <br /> His bodyguards see me first, and I can see their mouths moving as they watch me move closer, no doubt notifying him of my presence. Approaching nervously behind Dominic, I wonder for the hundredth time if this is a mistake. Who am I to ask a favor from one of the most powerful men on the planet? Shaking myself, I tell the little voice in the back of my mind to shut up – this is for Cora. I might not be brave for myself, but I can be brave for her. <br /> <br /> “Mr. Sinclair?” I ask hesitantly, feeling my heart pound violently against my ribcage. <br /> <br /> He turns around and gazes imperiously down at me. “Yes?”<br /> <br /> “I’m Ella Reina, I nanny for Jake and Millie Graves.” I begin, gnawing on my lower lip. <br /> <br /> His dark eyes catch on my mouth, and suddenly I feel like a frightened rabbit in front of a hungry wolf. “I know who you are, Ella.” The sound of my name on his lips sends a shiver down my spine. He speaks the familiar syllables with so much purpose, as if they truly mean something to him.<br /> <br /> “Oh… well, I don’t mean to be impertinent, but I’m friends with Dr Cora Daniels…”As soon as I say her name, his expression closes off, and some unidentified emotion flashes in his eyes. <br /> <br /> “She told me she’s in trouble at work, and I know you’re one of the bank’s donors.” I improvise. “I don’t know what Cora is being accused of, but I’m sure she’s innocent. She takes her job incredibly seriously, and she would never do anything to risk her career.”<br /> <br /> “And what do you expect me to do about it?” Dominic asks ominously. I can tell he doesn’t believe my weak story, his body language has changed completely, and I can feel his rising anger vibrating in the air around us. <br /> <br /> “I just thought… I hoped that if you had any sway there, you might be able to put in a good word for her.” I finish, feeling color flood my cheeks. I’m both ashamed of myself for such a feeble attempt, but unsure how else to handle such a delicate topic. The last thing I want is to get Cora in even more trouble than before. <br /> <br /> Dominic’s jaw ticks as he watches me, and the voice in the back of my head urges me to run for it. “From what I’ve heard, your friend made a very serious mistake, and the consequences have been more than appropriate. The best thing she can do now is take responsibility for her mistakes, not sending you to do her dirty work for her.”<br /> <br /> “I – she didn’t, she doesn’t even know I’m here! I swear.” I plead. <br /> <br /> “I’ve said all I’m going to say on this matter.” Dominic declares, turning away from me and striding into his house. The door slams shut behind him, and I’m left with his various bodyguards. <br /> <br /> “You need to leave now, miss.” One of the men announces sharply. <br /> <br /> “I can’t.” I moan, “he has to understand, she’s going to lose everything!” <br /> <br /> “We’re not going to ask you again.” A second guard growls, a clear threat in his words. <br /> <br /> “Please, she’s innocent.” I beg, “you have to –” before I can say anything more, the men grab me by the arms and begin trying to lead me off the property. Feeling truly desperate, I dig in my heels, deciding that my dignity is worth Cora’s entire future. “I’m begging you, if I could just talk to Mr. Sinclair.” <br /> <br /> “You’ve already talked to him.” The first guard grumbles, “and frankly you’re lucky he was as generous to you as he was. Your friend clearly told you things she shouldn’t.”<br /> <br /> The next thing I know, they’ve thrown me off the property and onto the sidewalk so forcefully that I lose my balance, tumbling to the ground as tears spark in my eyes. The iron gates slam shut behind me, and I have no choice but to slink off before I can embarrass myself further. <br /> <br /> Of course, this was only the beginning of my misfortune. When I arrived at work the next day, I found that my keys no longer fit the locks on the front door. I knocked, overwhelmed with confusion, and a few minutes later the door swung open to reveal Jake and Millie’s furious mother. <br /> <br /> “My keys aren’t working.” I tell her, wondering why she’s glaring at me so fiercely.<br /> <br /> “They’re not meant to.” She answers coldly, “as of yesterday afternoon, your services were no longer required.”<br /> <br /> “I… you’re firing me?” I squeak, not believing my ears. “Why?”<br /> <br /> “We got a call from the neighbors.” She explains haughtily, “apparently you let Jake run into the road the other day where he was almost hit by a car! And then yesterday you were seen making a fool of yourself at Dominic Sinclair’s home – they said his bodyguards had to drag you off the grounds like a common criminal.”<br /> <br /> “That isn’t fair, that isn’t what happened!” I plead. “Jake through his toy into the road and ran after it, I didn’t let it happen, and what happened with Mr. Sinclair was a misunderstanding.”<br /> <br /> “I don’t want to hear it.” She hisses. “Now leave before I call the police.”<br /> <br /> “Please, can’t I at least say goodbye to the kids?” I request, praying she’ll grant me this one kindness.<br /> <br /> “I’m dialing.” She tells me simply, pulling her cell phone from her pocket. <br /> <br /> “No!” I raise my palms in supplication, “It’s okay, I’ll go.”<br /> <br /> For the second time this week, I find myself shamefully retreating through this opulent neighborhood with tears streaming down my face. What hurts even worse than losing my job is the fact I didn't get to explain the situation to Jake and Millie, or see them one last time. I’m sure their mother will tell them horrible things about me, despite the fact that I’ve been lovingly raising for them for the last two years.<br /> <br /> I know Dominic Sinclair is responsible for this. I don’t believe my ex-boss’s story about the neighbors for one moment. He clearly wanted to punish me, just like he’s having Cora punished. A rush of fury takes hold of me, and suddenly I wish I could punish him somehow. It’s not like me to be so vindictive, but right now it truly feels like my entire life is falling apart, and it’s partly his fault. <br /> <br /> I spent all my money on the insemination, and without a job I have almost nothing. How am I ever going to afford to have a baby now? I guarantee I’m not going to get a good reference from Jake and Millie’s mother. <br /> <br /> As if things weren’t already bad enough, when I return home I find a stack of bills in the mailbox and I don’t even recognize half the senders. I open them one by one, feeling my confusion and disbelief grow by the minute.<br /> <br /> As I look at the stores on the breakdown of charges, my suspicion grows: they’re all Mike’s favorite places. Is it possible he did this behind my back? That he’s been hiding the bills from me for months… or years? I know he’ll deny it if I confront him, which leaves me only one option. <br /> <br /> I have to call Kate. My former best friend might have betrayed me completely with her affair, but if anyone knows what Mike has been up to, it’s her.

Please, it wasn't what it looked like. This is all a big misunderstanding."<br /> Why do they always say that? Do they think our eyes don't work? "You weren't spit roasting some bimbo with your brother? You weren't throwing our marriage away for some cheap thrill?" I ask.<br /> "No, I mean yes we were with" – he pauses as he considers his next words – "that woman. But we were doing it for the family. She's been riding us for months and we finally decided to give her what she wanted to help Dad save the business."<br /> _____________<br /> <br /> New Year's Eve<br /> Another holiday, another day Phil is working. I hate that he's putting pressure on himself but he said they had a lot to do before the end of the year. Since I know most of the office is off today, I decide to surprise him with lunch.<br /> When I arrive at Robinson & Associates, there are only a few cars here. I think about calling Phil, but instead I type in the passcode and sneak in. When I make my way towards his office, a sense of impending dread overtakes me. I shake it off as I continue down the hall to his closed door. When I turn the handle and open it, my entire reality comes crashing in around me.<br /> I stand there momentarily shocked before my brain can process what I'm seeing: Phil and his brother, Mark, both plowing into a blonde they have draped over the desk. Phil is slamming into her from behind while Mark is buried down her throat. Their heads all snap towards me as the food I was carrying goes crashing to the ground. Wide-eyed they appear as stunned as I am. For a second, no one moves but then the mystery woman smirks at me – with Mark's shaft still in her mouth – and it knocks me out of my stupor. Without a backwards glance, I flee.<br /> "Lola!" I hear Phil shout behind me. I'm in my car and peeling out of the parking lot before he has time to pull his pants up and chase after me.<br /> I make it all the way to the house before my emotions overwhelm me. Slamming my hands on the wheel, I wonder how I could be this stupid. How could I not see that he was cheating on me? Of course, he was! The late nights, the weekend work trips, the lack of interest in intercourse. It's all so obvious now.<br /> I give myself a moment to freak out before marching inside to pack a bag. I can't stay here with him, not after this. Not after beating myself up for my marriage not working. Turns out it wasn't a lack of effort on my part. It was because my husband decided to invite other people into it. The prick in question arrives as I'm zipping up my suitcase.<br /> He grabs my arm as I head to the door. "Honey, wait. Please, it wasn't what it looked like. This is all a big misunderstanding."<br /> Why do they always say that? Do they think our eyes don't work? "You weren't spit roasting some bimbo with your brother? You weren't throwing our marriage away for some cheap thrill?" I ask.<br /> "No, I mean yes we were with" – he pauses as he considers his next words – "that woman. But we were doing it for the family. She's the rep for the deal we've been working on. It's what we had to do to get the business. She's been riding us for months and we finally decided to give her what she wanted to help Dad save the business."<br /> "Oh I'm sure she's been riding you for months," I mutter. You and I both know that is a load of trash. I've seen her before at the company picnic. She's your brother's assistant." He's either shocked I remember or for being called out, because he opens and closes his mouth several times without a rebuttal. Good. I shove him back and continue to my car. Before slamming the door, I add, "I'm going to stay with my dad for a while. Don't contact me."<br /> ---<br /> Today is my birthday. I've been at my dad's house for the last few days but he left last night to go on a business trip. I almost laughed when he told me and asked if any assistants would be joining him but that is more than I need to know about my dad. Plus, he's a single man. He can do as he pleases. I'm not even a little bit surprised he won't be here for my birthday. It's not like he knew I was coming or that this is the first birthday he'll miss.<br /> My phone is blowing up with messages and calls but I can't bring myself to return any. I haven't told anyone what happened with Phil yet. I'm beyond embarrassed. You never think it's going to happen to you. You never think you'll miss the signs, but then you do. I'm staring at all the messages Phil sent me apologizing, asking me to come home, and gaslighting me about all the reasons he went to another woman. Despite all those messages, I am the most annoyed by the fact that he hasn't acknowledged my birthday. Not that I want him to, but it is telling. I'm scrolling through his string of lies and excuses when a FaceTime from Georgie comes through. I don't want to answer, but I know I have to. Georgie will keep calling until I pick up. I put on a fake smile and hit the answer button.<br /> "It's the birthday girl!"<br /> "Hi, Georgie. How's Barbados?"<br /> "Oh, you know, beautiful weather, beautiful people, delicious drinks, can't complain. Next year you have to let me fly you out to spend your birthday together."<br /> "That would be nice," I reply distractedly.<br /> "What's wrong, Honeybun? You don't seem happy to be turning twenty-seven. Actually, you don't seem happy at all. What gives, Lo? Who do I need to kill?"<br /> I roll my eyes. Georgie has always been overprotective. Apparently not having any siblings of my own meant the Rivera family was adopting me. That gave me two big sisters and a big brother who were all ready to go to battle for me. I'm reluctant to tell the truth since Georgie was never fond of Phil. He was apparently slimy and had 'a face that said he was up to something,' which turned out to be true. This news is not going to go over well.<br /> I go through the events of New Year's Eve and some of the things before that lead up to it. By the end, Georgie's voice is hard and face is red. "I am going to kill that prick. No one treats you like that, Lola. No one. His days are numbered."<br /> "Alright, calm down Rambo. You aren't going to do anything. If you go to jail, you won't get to play with those cute nieces you have or eat your mother's pasteles ever again."<br /> "I'm serious. This is unacceptable. Where are you? You're not going to go back to that loser. I can fly you out to Chicago. You can move in with me. Start over without that prick. You were always too good for him."<br /> "I'm fine, Georgie. I'm at Dad's trying to figure out my next move. I am not moving in with you. There aren't enough noise canceling headphones in the world to make that happen."<br /> That shifts Georgie's expression from dark and stormy to a smirk. Horn dog.<br /> "I don't know what I'm going to do next but for now, I want to lick my wounds. I haven't been happy for a while, crumpling marriage aside," I confess. "I'm considering all my options before making any life-altering decisions."<br /> "My offer stands. You need a place to go, my guest room is always open."<br /> "Thanks Georgie. Go enjoy your vacation! You'll be hard at work again soon."<br /> ---<br /> "Bye, Lo. Call me soon."<br /> After a few more weeks at my dad's and increasingly more hostile texts and calls from my husband. I decide that I need a fresh start and to be surrounded by friends. I pull up my group text with Tiffany and Carina and shoot off a message.<br /> 11:57 AM<br /> Me<br /> I'm coming to Nashville. I'll get there next Wednesday, same as Tiffany.<br /> Phil will be at an accounting conference all week. I'll head home Monday and pack up everything I need for a new life in Music City. Nashville, here I come...<br /> February<br /> My first days in Nashville have been amazing. Robby hasn't left for spring training yet, but it's been a total estrogen fest at Casa de Becker. Considering he is about to leave his girl for several weeks, Robby has been a good sport about all the rom-coms and rosé present in his swanky condo. Tiffany and I are going to stay here with Carina until he gets back and then we'll move into the two-bedroom unit they bought a couple floors below.<br /> A few nights before Robby leaves, he wants to make Carina a fancy dinner at home. To make ourselves scarce, Tiffany and I spend the night exploring Nashville. We stumble across a cute champagne garden that is right up Tiff's alley. As we sip our bubbles, I can tell my blonde bestie is buttering me up for something.<br /> "So..." she probes. "You left Phil over six weeks ago. Have you made any movement in the separation front?"<br /> "I've contacted a lawyer in Missouri, but I haven't done anything yet. He hasn't been bugging me lately and I know the second he gets served papers he's going to harass me again. I'm enjoying the peace while I can. I think he finally got the message that it's over but I don't want to tempt fate yet."<br /> "Speaking of tempting things, are you ready to get back out there? Meet some hunk to break your two-month dry spell?"<br /> "Two months? Try eight," I say before I can stop myself. Tiffany chokes on her drink at the announcement.<br /> "Eight?! You haven't had intercourse eight months?" she whisper-shouts causing people at nearby tables to turn their heads.<br /> "Can you shut up? People are staring!"<br /> "I'm sorry. I just... I know you hadn't gotten physical in a while, but your husband didn't have intercourse with you for that long, and you didn't suspect he was cheating? Oh honey, I didn't know it was that bad. You'd think the dude would throw you a bone now and then, especially when you were offering. Who turns down a free lay?"<br /> "Excuse me," I huff, affronted.<br /> "I wasn't calling you easy, babe. I'm simply pointing out that it is a lot more work to go and find a mistress or a rando than it is to have intercourse with your wife. Wow. And you're a knockout. Phil is dumber than I thought he was."<br /> "Can we not talk about this in public?" I ask with heated cheeks.<br /> "Oh, no ma'am. We are talking about this. I cannot let this injustice stand. We are getting you laid ASAP."<br /> "I am not going home with some random guy we meet at a bar tonight. I can't handle that stress or potential rejection right now."<br /> "Fine," she sighs, then perks up. "What if I knew a way you could have intercourse with someone who would for sure not turn you down?"<br /> "I'm not hiring a hooker," I deadpan.<br /> "Not a hooker, babe. There is a club here that offers a service for finding sexually compatible people and getting them together. It's all between consenting adults and no money exchanges hands – except the membership fee."<br /> "I don't want to have intercourse in some shady nightclub."<br /> "Not a nightclub. And it's not shady, it's super classy. You fill out a profile and they find someone who matches your preferences. Everyone who is approved has been vetted. I signed up a few weeks ago but haven't been yet."<br /> "Tiff, you have guys hanging all over you. Why do you need to go to a club for intercourse ?"<br /> She shrugs. "Sometimes it's nice to have a partner who already knows what you want. That way, you don't have to go through all the pesky guesswork and pretend you don't want him to spank your hip and call you his 'naughty girl.' Plus, there are a few things I enjoy that aren't exactly one-night stand or first date material like—"<br /> I hold my hand up to stop her. "I don't need to know all that, and I don't think this is a good idea."<br /> "Come on, Bunny. It's perfect. It's a sure-fire way to rip off the Band-Aid with someone who won't reject you and knows exactly what your boundaries are. It's ideal for a novice!"<br /> "A novice, really?"<br /> "Oh, I'm sorry. Did you have a lot of sexcapades you never told me during between homecoming and freshman spring semester when you met Phil?"<br /> "No..."<br /> "Exactly," she exclaims. "You need someone who knows how to get you off and how to keep you comfortable. I'll help you complete your profile and make sure you get the match you need."<br /> She's staring at me with big blue puppy dog eyes. It's hard to say no when I know she's trying to help me.<br /> "Fine," I concede. And that's how later that night I end up huddled in bed with Tiffany answering an exceedingly thorough questionnaire about my sexual preferences.<br /> "I don't even know what some of this stuff is," I say.<br /> "Like what?"<br /> "Like water spots. Do they mean jet skis?"<br /> "They mean being peed on," she replies nonchalantly.<br /> "Seriously?"<br /> "Seriously."<br /> "Why do you know that?"<br /> She smirks at me before answering, "I've been with my share of kinky former child stars."<br /> "Oh my God."<br /> "Hey, don't knock it till you try it. I didn't get peed on."<br /> "That is way more than I needed to know. Ugh, this is going to be the most vanilla questionnaire they've ever received. They aren't going to let me in."<br /> "Oh please. I'm sure you've got some secret kinks in there you don't even know about. Let them worry about that. All you need to do is answer honestly."<br /> After another hour of filling it out, Tiffany convinces me to submit an application. Later, I go to bed embarrassed but also optimistic that I'm taking steps forward even if I have no intentions of stepping foot inside that club.<br /> * * <br /> "I can't believe I let you convince me to do this," I yell over the blow dryer.<br /> "Shut up. You're going to love it," Tiffany replies with an eye roll. "You're going to meet some hunk to rail you into forgetting all about that small-shafted son of a bimbo who called himself a man."<br /> "Are we sure this is a good idea?"<br /> Tiffany puts down the blow dryer and meets my eyes in the mirror. "This is going to be great for you, Lo. I promise."<br /> I nod my head and she returns to helping me get ready. After she's done, I slip into the navy velvet dress she forced me to buy for the occasion. The fabric is smooth against my skin and the cinched waist gives the illusion I was gifted the curves of my Italian ancestors.<br /> "it pays to have someone who went to beauty school as your bestie," Tiffany comments, coming into the room. I haven't had the nerve to peek yet.<br /> I breathe at my reflection.<br /> "Yeah babe, you look hot ."<br /> "You are a magician, Tiff. I can't believe you made me look this good."<br /> "Yeah, whatever. You're a little Aphrodite and some guy is going to cream his pants at the sight of you tonight," she says as she downs the rest of her champagne. "Alright, Bunny. Let's roll out. Don't forget to grab your mask if you want to keep up the mystery."<br /> "Here goes nothing," I mumble as we walk out the door.<br /> • BRADY •<br /> "Good seeing you as always," Declan Ryder says as he slaps my shoulder and makes his way out of Cole's office. Declan, Cole Viatello, and I are co-owners of Club Hedone, a intercourse and kink club in Nashville. The club got its name after Hedone, the goddess of pleasure and enjoyment. She was the daughter of Eros, god of love and intercourse , and Psyche, the goddess of the soul.<br /> The three of us meet every couple of months to talk about the club and make big (read: expensive) decisions. Declan and I may be co-owners/investors, but we both have day jobs – if you can call being a top-selling musician and MLB first baseman 'day jobs.' Cole runs the day-to-day and is the majority owner.<br /> As I am about to leave, Cole grabs my attention after glancing at his phone. "Fancy staying to play tonight, Miller?" he asks.<br /> While I help in the club when I can, serving as a monitor or taking part in demonstrations, I don't play often. It's not that I don't want to or that my tastes are so particular that it is hard to find a playmate. It's the opposite in fact. On the BDSM-kink spectrum, I rank pretty basic.<br /> Sure, I've done all the training and know the ins and outs of being a Dom, but it isn't really my jam. I absolutely have dominant tendencies, that is part of my personality and always will be. But I am not a Dom in the traditional sense. It can be fun to play in that dynamic sometimes to release some energy or assert control, but I don't enjoy the full power exchange that many subs are after. Nor am I into other BDSM categories like DDlg or pet play. In my everyday life especially, I don't want a relationship where I impose rules and punishments. I simply want a sweet partner I can support and care for who doesn't mind that I can be a bit of a bossy prick.<br /> "I wasn't planning to play tonight," I respond. "We leave for spring training next week. I've got a lot to take care of before we go."<br /> "Think I could persuade you?" Cole questions.<br /> "Something wrong?"<br /> "Wrong? No. An inconvenience? Yes. One of the House Doms had an emergency and can't be here tonight. We had him matched with a woman here to play for the first time. I don't have anyone else available who would match her profile. I'd do it but I am overseeing a demonstration in the medical play room.<br /> "She's a beginner and her questionnaire shows her interests as pretty mild. I thought you'd be a good fit since I know you don't get into the hard stuff and enjoy the sweethearts. It could be a good last hurrah before you go."<br /> "It has been a while since I've played," I concede. "What the heck, sure. I could use some fun before spending several weeks surrounded by sweaty, whiny dudes."<br /> "Awesome, thanks, man. Eric will have her file for you upstairs."<br /> * *<br /> I head up to the second-floor reception area where I see Eric and Willa. Eric is the member relations manager and Willa is one of the attendants who help get people settled into their various rooms and assists House Dominants.<br /> "Mr. Miller, I didn't know you'd be joining us tonight," Eric greets.<br /> "I wasn't planning to, but Cole mentioned you had a Dom out and that I might be able to fill in with a new guest," I reply.<br /> "Oh, I'm glad it's you," Willa gushes. Seeing my confusion, she continues, "I met the woman you're being matched with tonight. She is definitely going to need an experienced hand. She was a little nervous and unsure. Very cute, though. She's totally your type." She blushes, realizing she is rambling.<br /> "That is good to know. I am happy to help," I remark as one of the House Doms, Craig, comes up to get his pairing. He grabs both files from Eric and hands mine over to me. He flips through his and sets it back on the desk with a dissatisfied expression<br /> "I can lead you to the rooms," Willa comments. "They've been waiting for a little while. I bet they're getting antsy."<br /> "We can find the way on our own. This isn't our first rodeo," Craig sneers, condescendingly. I make a mental note to have Cole talk to the Doms about how they speak to staff members. He shouldn't be giving her attitude for doing her job.<br /> "Thank you for the offer, Willa," I say.<br /> I review the file of the woman I'm meeting before giving it back to Eric. She has a degradation kink. I'm surprised Cole thought I would be the right match for her. Don't get me wrong, I can play any role, but the way he and Willa were talking about her led me to believe she was a good girl-type. I typically go for women who are more into praise than degradation, but since I'm playing substitute tonight, I guess I get what I get.<br /> I make my way down the hall after Craig. When I get to the doorI knock hard before turning the handle. When I open it, I am met with the sight of a beautiful creature standing in the middle of the room. Not only is she short, but she is also slender with slight curves shown off by a tight dark, velvet dress.<br /> Her long brown hair is striking against her metallic mask, but none of that compares to the big, hazel eyes that bore into me. After I take her in for a few moments, I realize I haven't said anything, and she is frozen in place. Her file made it sound as if she has a good understanding of what she wants in bed, but Cole did say she was new. As the Dom in this scenario, it's up to me to make the first move.<br /> "Are you going to stand there staring at me all night you dirty little bimbo? As much as I enjoy your eyes devouring me, I have plans to bang them into the back of your head," I say in greeting.<br /> She sucks in a breath but other than that, she doesn't make a move. She must need a bit more prodding.<br /> "Not used to man calling it like he sees it? Not used to a man ready to use your body for his pleasure? Don't worry, if you're a good little bimbo, I'll make sure you're so exhausted you sleep for a week," I promise. "Come here."<br /> That kicks her into gear and she slowly makes her way closer to me. As she does, I drink her in. Everything about her is breathtaking, despite her small stature. I think my hands could span her entire rib cage.<br /> "She does know how to obey. That's good, pet. Turn around." As she spins, I see her small curves in her dress. My hands itch to touch the soft fabric, but I need to ensure she is ready for everything about to happen first. While her back is to me now, we are standing in front of a full-length mirror. I wait for her to meet my gaze before I keep going.<br /> "Do you remember everything they went over in your paperwork?" I ask. She nods in response. It's then I realize I haven't heard her talk yet. "Words," I grit. I need her verbal acknowledgment before this goes further.<br /> "Yes," she breathes out quietly. Alright, then we're good to go. Examining her, it is hard to believe she is into degradation. I know you can't always tell someone's kink by their appearance, but she has this air of sweetness and vulnerability to her with those big doe eyes. I'm not here to yuck anyone's yum, though. If this pixie wants to be degraded, degraded she will be.<br /> "Normally I'd tell a bimbo like you to get on your knees, but I don't think you'd be able to reach my shaft from there. Take off your dress and kneel on the bed." When she remains where she is, I give her a sharp slap on the hip and tell her to get moving.<br /> She quickly goes over to the bed and glances at me from across the room. I walk over to the dresser and start to get more comfortable. I remove my watch and take off my jacket. I take my time scanning her body without her dress. Her perfect breasts and pert, pink papillae are on display as she kneels in a pair of delicate lace panties.<br /> I can't help but smirk as I watch her check out my abs and chest. I earned this body through hours spent at the gym and in practice. But I have never felt as proud of it as I do now with how her gaze eats me up. When her eyes snap back up to mine, I address her again.<br /> "Look at you on your knees waiting for me. You're needy, aren't you? Pathetic and desperate for my shaft? Your greedy private part is going to have to wait until I'm ready. I want you begging for it before I give it to you," I state.<br /> I expect to see heat flare in her eyes or watch her clench her thighs, but her body language and facial expression don't give anything away. If I was an outside observer, I would say she wasn't into this, but she is the one who filled out the profile questionnaire. She'd have no reason to lie unless she was trying to get paired with a specific Dom based on kink. There is no way for her to know who she'd match with, though. Profile matches are random and based on availability and preferences which can vary by the day. While newbies are only matched with House Doms or other approved, experienced members, regular members can match with each other.<br /> The idea that she might have wanted to be with someone else tonight causes pain in my chest. This little doll is mine – at least for tonight, anyway. Doll is the right word for her with her big eyes and delicate features. I wish I could peer into them again, but she isn't making eye contact, it's almost as if she's staring through me which will not do. I guess I need to amp this up another level.<br /> "What's wrong, pet? You don't want me to call you desperate? But you are, aren't you? You came here tonight to be my doll. Desperate for me to make a mess of you. That's what you want, isn't it? To be my pathetic little bimbo?"<br /> Just when I think she is going to respond, she bursts into sobs. For a moment, I freeze. What is happening? I've never had anyone react this way to me before. Sure, I've had partners tear up after an intense climax but never full body weeping. I know part of degradation is humiliation, but that should be turning her on, not making her cry.<br /> I move toward her to try to offer a comforting touch but she flinches back and clambers to the other side of the bed. "Why are you being mean to me?" she gets out in between sobs.<br /> Mean? That isn't the word most people would use in this context. I know she isn't experienced, but her file said degradation was her kink. She thinks I'm being mean to her? Isn't that what she wanted? Something is not right. This has gone all wrong since the second I walked into the room. I need to see where she is at ASAP. I need to turn this encounter around.<br /> "Color?" I inquire.<br /> I think she says, "what?" in between hiccups.<br /> "What color are you?"<br /> She takes a few deep breaths and manages to get an answer out. "White, although I'm Italian... Maybe olive?"<br /> White? Olive? What the heck is she talking about?<br /> "No, baby, what stoplight color are you? Green, yellow, or red? Do you need to safe word?"<br /> She stares at me for a minute before responding, "Safe word? We aren't having intercourse yet."<br /> Who gave this woman her safety spiel? A safe word can be used any time in any circumstance. Before I can tell her that, there is a loud, persistent knock at the door. I don't want to walk away while she is crying, but she doesn't want my comfort and the knock is insistent.<br /> I open the door to find a flustered Eric.<br /> "What?" I grit. "There better be an emergency if you're interrupting a session."<br /> "What file did you read? What did it say?" he rushes out, voice sounding slightly panicked.<br /> "The one for this room. New, probationary member into degradation and open to impact play, bondage, and a variety of toys," I repeat.<br /> he exclaims as he runs his hand though his fair. "I think the files got switched when Craig grabbed them. The one you read wasn't for her."<br /> "What?" I grouse. If that's true, this is a huge mix up and reflects terribly on the club. We need to figure this out now to make sure it is a one time issue caused at the desk and not a systematic error.<br /> I turn to the woman – who has thankfully stopped crying and is now only sniffling – that I will be right back. I take one last glance at her before I leave and head to meet Cole up front.<br /> When I return to the room a few minutes later, I am disappointed but not surprised to see she is gone. She must have left through the side stairs because I would have seen her walk by the desk. I read her file when I was there. She is not into degradation at all. In fact, she might be on the entire other end of the spectrum. No wonder she reacted the way she did. I hate that she ran out and I'm not able to fix this situation. There is no telling where this encounter left her emotionally.<br /> The idea that something I did could have hurt her sits heavy in my chest as I proceed to Cole's office to discuss what happened. I know the client relations team will try to follow up with her, but I doubt she'll respond. I could probably get into the application portal but that would be highly unethical and I would be guessing which profile was hers, anyway. Hopefully, she'll return to the club in the future and I can make it right.

Frankly, I normally see these numbers in women ten or fifteen years your senior.”<br /> <br /> “What?” I murmur, not believing my ears. I’ve been trying to get pregnant for years. I’m only 30, I should have plenty of eggs left.<br /> <br /> “In terms of fertility, you have very little time left.” She continues. “If you want to conceive, you need to do so before your next cycle begins.”<br /> <br /> “My next cycle?” I repeat, my mouth hanging open in shock. I love kids more than anything, and though it might not be everyone’s ambition, I want nothing more than to be a mother.<br /> <br /> I have to get home and tell my boyfriend this news, and there’s not a moment to waste.<br /> <br /> I make it home in record time, bursting through the door and opening my mouth to call for Mike, but stopping dead in my tracks. As soon as I walk inside I see a pair of high heels and a handbag by the door – neither of which belong to me.<br /> <br /> I cock my ears towards the bedroom, and my stomach churns when I hear the unmistakable sound of moaning, accompanied by a steady thump thump thump, as the bed collides with the wall. Worse even than realizing that Mike is clearly in there with another woman, is realizing who he’s with. I know that handbag, and I know those shoes – they belong to my best friend, Kate. <br /> <br /> “Fuck, Ella is so stupid.” Mike laughs, “can you believe she actually expects me to have a baby with her?”<br /> <br /> Kate snorts, “she’s delusional. I don’t know how you put up with her for so long in the first place.”<br /> <br /> “If she wasn’t so beautiful I never would have given her the time of day.” Mike scoffs. “Thankfully daily doses of plan B kept her from ever conceiving.”<br /> <br /> “The morning after pill?” Kate asks, “how did you manage to give it to her without her realizing?”<br /> <br /> “I put it in her morning coffee.” Mike chortles, sounding far too proud of himself. <br /> <br /> My vision goes completely red as everything finally falls into place. Suddenly it’s clear why I’ve never been able to get pregnant, despite having unprotected sex multiple times a week for years. It’s even clear how I could have the eggs of a 45-year-old, if my despicable partner has been secretly feeding me emergency contraceptives every day – there’s no telling what other damage that might have done to my reproductive system. <br /> <br /> Before I can think better of it, I pull the smoke alarm on the wall, wanting to frighten and punish the pair in the bedroom so fiercely that I fear I might attack them when they emerge. Water immediately sprays down from the sprinkler system mounted to the ceiling as a shrill siren fills the air, and I hear Mike and Kate cry out in surprise. <br /> <br /> A few moments later they come rushing out of the bedroom, stopping in their tracks when they see me looming in the doorway. Mike’s eyes go comically wide, “What are you doing home so early?” The snake has the nerve to sound affronted that I surprised him, when he’s the one who’s been sneaking around behind my back for God knows how long. He seems to realize how suspicious it looks that he and Kate are standing there in their underwear and quickly adds, “Kate came to see me so we could plan a surprise for your birthday, but then we spilled coffee all over our clothes so we had to change.”<br /> <br /> Fire blazes in my veins, he must truly believe I’m an idiot if he expects me to buy such a feeble excuse. <br /> <br /> It’s a testament to their horrifically low opinion of me that they buy my act, and I vow to get my revenge one way or another. I can’t believe I wasted so many years – my best years – on this scumbag. And now he may have cost me my future too. As soon as the thought enters my head, I know I can’t afford to waste another moment on Mike, I have more important things to take care of. <br /> <br /> I make my excuses and rush across town for the second time that afternoon, running to the comforting arms of my surrogate sister, Cora. Not only did we grow up together in the orphanage, but she became an OBGYN and now works for the most exclusive sperm bank in the city. I’ve never gone to her before because I always imagined Mike and I would eventually conceive the natural way, but that clearly isn’t an option anymore. <br /> <br /> Even if I could find a man willing to have a baby with me in time, I’m not eager to trust anyone after Mike’s betrayal. I’m going to have to do this on my own, and I know Cora can help me. I don’t have much money, but I have enough savings to pay for the insemination, especially since I basically have one shot and one shot only. <br /> <br /> When I arrive, all my plans to lay out my situation for Cora clearly and concisely go out the window, because the moment I see my sister I fall to pieces. She hugs and kisses me until my tears subside, slowly extracting the story from me piece by piece. When she hears about Mike and Kate she swears up a storm, but that’s nothing compared to her reaction when I explain about my fertility. <br /> <br /> “That little shit! I’ll kill him!” She fumes, studying me with a worried expression. “Ella, if your doctor was right this means you only have one chance to conceive.”<br /> <br /> “I know.” I sniffle. “And if this is going to be my only baby, I don’t want to take any chances. I want the best donor we can find.”<br /> <br /> “Don’t you worry about that.” Cora assures me, “We’ve got donations from actors, models, scientists – it’s only the creme de la creme here.” She glances at the door and lowers her voice. “You didn’t hear it from me, but even Dominic Sinclair sent his samples here for testing.”<br /> <br /> “Dominic Sinclair? I repeat, “the billionaire?” I’ve seen the man around town, but we don’t exactly run in the same circles. He lives in the same neighborhood as my wealthy employer and often says hello to the children I nanny, but he’s always surrounded by bodyguards and is so intimidating I get goosebumps just thinking about him. <br /> <br /> “Oh my god!.” Cora slaps her hand over her mouth. “I wasn’t supposed to tell you that! I don’t know what I was thinking. Apparently he’s no stranger to fertility issues himself, and he trusted us to handle his swimmers over every other lab in the country. I’ve got his sperm in the other room at this very moment.” She frets, “But Ella you can’t tell anyone, you have to promise me.”<br /> <br /> “Of course!” I agree immediately. “I know how important confidentiality is here.”<br /> <br /> “Thank you,” Cora breathes. “Now, I’m going to give you a dossier of our clients so you can pick a donor, and once you’ve chosen we’ll get you knocked up before you can even blink.” <br /> <br /> It’s not an easy decision, but eventually I choose a handsome surgeon whose photo practically makes me swoon. Cora leaves the room only long enough to prepare the sample, and though she looks a bit flustered when she returns, she quickly and professionally completes the insemination, holding my hand when the procedure is finished. “It’s all take care of now, Ella.” She promises, “You can come back in ten days to see if it worked.”<br /> <br /> Ten days. I think dazedly. Ten days to decide my entire future.<br /> <br /> If only I’d known that by the time those ten days were up, my future would no longer belong to me – but to Dominic Sinclair himself. <br /> <br /> Chapter 2<br /> <br /> Six days to go. I think, staring at the date circled on my calendar. Six days until I find out if my dreams are finally going to come true… or if I have to figure out an entirely different plan for my life. <br /> <br /> I’ve thought about nothing else since Cora inseminated me last week, I’m so anxious to find out if I’m pregnant I haven’t even begun to process Mike’s betrayal. <br /> <br /> I’m trying to keep a level head, yet I can’t help but imagine my future with this new baby. Try as I might, I catch myself daydreaming about it constantly. I even find myself humming as I get ready for work in the morning. <br /> <br /> When I arrive at my employer’s estate in the most exclusive neighborhood in Moon Valley – which basically makes it the most exclusive neighborhood in the world, since Moon Valley is one of the most expensive cities on the planet – I’m immediately greeted by two little voices shouting my name in excitement. “Ella!”<br /> <br /> The next thing I know, 3-year-old Millie is hugging my legs while her older brother, Jake, wraps his arms around my middle. “Good morning love puddles!” I exclaim, returning their hugs. “Are you ready for the museum?”<br /> <br /> “Yeah!” They cheer, racing out the door without even stopping to put on coats. It takes a bit of wrangling to get them back inside and bundled up for the cold winter day, but before long we set out into the snow.<br /> <br /> Jake races ahead of Millie and I, impatient to get to the science museum and not seeming to notice that his sister’s tiny legs simply don’t move that fast. Chuckling, I lift Millie into my arms and settle her on my hip. “Goodness, you’re getting too big for this, munchkin.”<br /> <br /> “Nuh-uh,” Millie grins, “You’re justs too little.” <br /> <br /> She might have a point. At five foot one, I don’t exactly have the kind of build suited to heavy lifting. I’m in great shape, but I’ve never been particularly strong. “Smarty pants.” I tease, laughing with the little girl. <br /> <br /> When I look back towards Jake, I realize he’s stopped a few feet ahead of us. My heart skips a beat when I realize why. We’re in front of the Sinclair mansion, and its owner is currently standing in the middle of the sidewalk, his gaze searing me like a firebrand as I approach with Millie. Dominic Sinclair is just about the most handsome man I’ve ever seen, but he’s also one of the most terrifying. <br /> <br /> With dark hair and piercing green eyes, chiseled features and a body so muscular I could swoon, it doesn’t seem fair he gets to look so good and also be so rich. If I didn’t know better I might think it was his wealth or imposing height that makes him so intimidating, after all he’s at least six foot four, which means he towers over me and everyone else around him. However it’s neither of those things, there’s simply an indefinable quality about the man that I can’t put my finger on, one which screams danger. He gives off this energy that’s so raw and animalistic one forgets there’s anyone else in the room. <br /> <br /> Taking a steadying breath, I close the distance between us so Millie can say hello. When she greets him, Dominic drags his attention from me and offers her a smile so genuine that it tugs at my heartstrings. As I watch him talk to my two young charges, I remember what Cora told me about his infertility struggles. He clearly loves children, and I feel a wave of empathy for him. If anyone knows what it’s like to yearn for a family of their own, it’s me. <br /> <br /> Jake is currently showing Dominic his new toy airplane, pulling the matchbox model from his pocket and demonstrating how far it can fly. With a great heave, he sends the toy gliding through the air, only to land in the middle of the street. Before any of us can say a word, Jake races after it, right into the busy road.<br /> <br /> “Jake no, be careful!” I cry, watching him dart out into the path of an oncoming car but feeling frozen by my fear. Before I can contemplate putting Millie down to go after him, a blur of movement whirrs past my vision. I’ve never seen anyone move so fast in my life. Dominic became little more than a hazy outline of himself, chasing after Jake and pulling him out of the way just before the car slams into them. The vehicle’s tires are still screeching when Dominic sets Jake down beside me, his expression suddenly very stern. <br /> <br /> “That was very dangerous.” He scolds gently. “You should never go into the street without looking both ways first.”<br /> <br /> Jake hangs his head. “I’m sorry, I didn’t want my plane to get runned over.” <br /> <br /> “You are a million times more important than a toy.” Dominic tells him firmly, “and you scared your nanny half to death.”<br /> <br /> “I’m sorry, Ella.” Jake sniffles, looking up at me with wide eyes. <br /> <br /> “I know sweetheart, just don’t ever do that again.” I breathe, cuddling him against my side. “Thank you so much.” I say to Dominic, feeling more grateful than I can express. “I have no idea how you moved so fast! It was like something out of a superhero film.”<br /> <br /> “Must have been the adrenaline.” Dominic shrugs, giving Millie another smile before taking his leave. “Enjoy the rest of your day, and stay out of the road young man!”<br /> <br /> “Yes sir!” Jake calls after him, pocketing his airplane. “I really am sorry.” He adds to me. <br /> <br /> “It’s forgotten.” I tell him softly, though I take his hand so that he can’t run off again. <br /> <br /> “It all happened so fast.” I tell Cora later that night. “I mean the more I think about it, the more amazing it seems. One moment he was there, and the next he was gone. It was like magic.”<br /> <br /> “Thank goodness Jake is alright.” She replies, but rather than looking relieved, her face is twisted into a deep grimace.<br /> <br /> Studying my sister’s expression, I realize her grim demeanor is not just about Jake’s near miss. Something else is wrong, and I actually feel guilty for not noticing sooner. “Is everything okay?”<br /> <br /> Cora frowns, “Not really. But you’ve got so much going on right now, it’s not important.”<br /> <br /> “Cora, don’t be ridiculous.” I admonish. “What’s going on?”<br /> <br /> “Well, speaking of Dominic Sinclair,” She begins cryptically, “you know that sperm he sent to us for testing?”<br /> <br /> “Yeah,” I confirm, wondering where on earth this was going. <br /> <br /> “It’s gone missing… and I’m the last person who saw it, not to mention it was in my custody.” She explains, her voice becoming thick with emotion. “Ella, I think… I think I’m going to be fired. And if there’s an investigation I could lose my medical license.”<br /> <br /> “What?” I exclaim. “What do you mean it’s missing? A vial of sperm can’t just get up and walk away.”<br /> <br /> “I know, I think someone had to steal it, but there’s no way of knowing who’s responsible. And it looks like I’m going to have to take the blame.” She shares, her eyes shining with tears. <br /> <br /> “Cora, I can’t believe you didn’t tell me this sooner!” I lament, “They can’t fire you, it isn’t fair.”<br /> <br /> “You don’t understand, Dominic is one of our biggest donors.” Cora explains. “And he’s furious, he basically wants my head on a platter.”<br /> <br /> A week ago I might have believed there was no hope for Cora, but seeing how kind and understanding Dominic was with the kids today makes me wonder if he could really be so heartless. Surely if he understood that Cora would never be so irresponsible he’d show some leniency? I have to try and help her, I would do anything for my sister – even begging a ruthless billionaire for mercy.<br /> <br /> Chapter 3<br /> <br /> Three days to go.<br /> <br /> I repeat these words to myself as I walk down the street, still preoccupied with my possible pregnancy, even as I prepare to go to bat for my sister. In some ways it's a coping mechanism: I’m about to beg Dominic Sinclair to save Cora’s job, and I need a comforting thought to help me get through this. <br /> <br /> His bodyguards see me first, and I can see their mouths moving as they watch me move closer, no doubt notifying him of my presence. Approaching nervously behind Dominic, I wonder for the hundredth time if this is a mistake. Who am I to ask a favor from one of the most powerful men on the planet? Shaking myself, I tell the little voice in the back of my mind to shut up – this is for Cora. I might not be brave for myself, but I can be brave for her. <br /> <br /> “Mr. Sinclair?” I ask hesitantly, feeling my heart pound violently against my ribcage. <br /> <br /> He turns around and gazes imperiously down at me. “Yes?”<br /> <br /> “I’m Ella Reina, I nanny for Jake and Millie Graves.” I begin, gnawing on my lower lip. <br /> <br /> His dark eyes catch on my mouth, and suddenly I feel like a frightened rabbit in front of a hungry wolf. “I know who you are, Ella.” The sound of my name on his lips sends a shiver down my spine. He speaks the familiar syllables with so much purpose, as if they truly mean something to him.<br /> <br /> “Oh… well, I don’t mean to be impertinent, but I’m friends with Dr Cora Daniels…”As soon as I say her name, his expression closes off, and some unidentified emotion flashes in his eyes. <br /> <br /> “She told me she’s in trouble at work, and I know you’re one of the bank’s donors.” I improvise. “I don’t know what Cora is being accused of, but I’m sure she’s innocent. She takes her job incredibly seriously, and she would never do anything to risk her career.”<br /> <br /> “And what do you expect me to do about it?” Dominic asks ominously. I can tell he doesn’t believe my weak story, his body language has changed completely, and I can feel his rising anger vibrating in the air around us. <br /> <br /> “I just thought… I hoped that if you had any sway there, you might be able to put in a good word for her.” I finish, feeling color flood my cheeks. I’m both ashamed of myself for such a feeble attempt, but unsure how else to handle such a delicate topic. The last thing I want is to get Cora in even more trouble than before. <br /> <br /> Dominic’s jaw ticks as he watches me, and the voice in the back of my head urges me to run for it. “From what I’ve heard, your friend made a very serious mistake, and the consequences have been more than appropriate. The best thing she can do now is take responsibility for her mistakes, not sending you to do her dirty work for her.”<br /> <br /> “I – she didn’t, she doesn’t even know I’m here! I swear.” I plead. <br /> <br /> “I’ve said all I’m going to say on this matter.” Dominic declares, turning away from me and striding into his house. The door slams shut behind him, and I’m left with his various bodyguards. <br /> <br /> “You need to leave now, miss.” One of the men announces sharply. <br /> <br /> “I can’t.” I moan, “he has to understand, she’s going to lose everything!” <br /> <br /> “We’re not going to ask you again.” A second guard growls, a clear threat in his words. <br /> <br /> “Please, she’s innocent.” I beg, “you have to –” before I can say anything more, the men grab me by the arms and begin trying to lead me off the property. Feeling truly desperate, I dig in my heels, deciding that my dignity is worth Cora’s entire future. “I’m begging you, if I could just talk to Mr. Sinclair.” <br /> <br /> “You’ve already talked to him.” The first guard grumbles, “and frankly you’re lucky he was as generous to you as he was. Your friend clearly told you things she shouldn’t.”<br /> <br /> The next thing I know, they’ve thrown me off the property and onto the sidewalk so forcefully that I lose my balance, tumbling to the ground as tears spark in my eyes. The iron gates slam shut behind me, and I have no choice but to slink off before I can embarrass myself further. <br /> <br /> Of course, this was only the beginning of my misfortune. When I arrived at work the next day, I found that my keys no longer fit the locks on the front door. I knocked, overwhelmed with confusion, and a few minutes later the door swung open to reveal Jake and Millie’s furious mother. <br /> <br /> “My keys aren’t working.” I tell her, wondering why she’s glaring at me so fiercely.<br /> <br /> “They’re not meant to.” She answers coldly, “as of yesterday afternoon, your services were no longer required.”<br /> <br /> “I… you’re firing me?” I squeak, not believing my ears. “Why?”<br /> <br /> “We got a call from the neighbors.” She explains haughtily, “apparently you let Jake run into the road the other day where he was almost hit by a car! And then yesterday you were seen making a fool of yourself at Dominic Sinclair’s home – they said his bodyguards had to drag you off the grounds like a common criminal.”<br /> <br /> “That isn’t fair, that isn’t what happened!” I plead. “Jake through his toy into the road and ran after it, I didn’t let it happen, and what happened with Mr. Sinclair was a misunderstanding.”<br /> <br /> “I don’t want to hear it.” She hisses. “Now leave before I call the police.”<br /> <br /> “Please, can’t I at least say goodbye to the kids?” I request, praying she’ll grant me this one kindness.<br /> <br /> “I’m dialing.” She tells me simply, pulling her cell phone from her pocket. <br /> <br /> “No!” I raise my palms in supplication, “It’s okay, I’ll go.”<br /> <br /> For the second time this week, I find myself shamefully retreating through this opulent neighborhood with tears streaming down my face. What hurts even worse than losing my job is the fact I didn't get to explain the situation to Jake and Millie, or see them one last time. I’m sure their mother will tell them horrible things about me, despite the fact that I’ve been lovingly raising for them for the last two years.<br /> <br /> I know Dominic Sinclair is responsible for this. I don’t believe my ex-boss’s story about the neighbors for one moment. He clearly wanted to punish me, just like he’s having Cora punished. A rush of fury takes hold of me, and suddenly I wish I could punish him somehow. It’s not like me to be so vindictive, but right now it truly feels like my entire life is falling apart, and it’s partly his fault. <br /> <br /> I spent all my money on the insemination, and without a job I have almost nothing. How am I ever going to afford to have a baby now? I guarantee I’m not going to get a good reference from Jake and Millie’s mother. <br /> <br /> As if things weren’t already bad enough, when I return home I find a stack of bills in the mailbox and I don’t even recognize half the senders. I open them one by one, feeling my confusion and disbelief grow by the minute.<br /> <br /> As I look at the stores on the breakdown of charges, my suspicion grows: they’re all Mike’s favorite places. Is it possible he did this behind my back? That he’s been hiding the bills from me for months… or years? I know he’ll deny it if I confront him, which leaves me only one option. <br /> <br /> I have to call Kate. My former best friend might have betrayed me completely with her affair, but if anyone knows what Mike has been up to, it’s her.

1,551,986	/src/Template/Ads/index.ctp (line 281) null	Yes	2024-04-28 11:39	active	618	419087561071170	Free reading with Title "God of War: Pinnacle"	👊😡After 15 years, he came back, saw his wife and daughter living on the street, angry on the spot, a short message to 100 billion group bankruptcy.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> In Erudia, a private jet landed at North Hampton Airport, where all international flights experienced an eight-hour delay because of it.<br /> <br /> At the private passageway were five men in suits and leather shoes, standing as straight as a javelin.<br /> <br /> Every now and then, they would raise their wrist to look at the time, for a big shot was coming to town.<br /> <br /> The upper-class society of North Hampton had learned about his arrival, but no one had the capability to get an inch closer to the private passageway.<br /> <br /> Even the richest man in North Hampton who came to pay homage was chased away.<br /> <br /> Finally, there were movements coming from the passageway.<br /> <br /> “God of War!!!” the mass cried out, their eyes filled with awe and veneration at the sight of the undefeatable legend of Erudia.<br /> <br /> He, who was dubbed the God of War, was the one and only five-star war God in the history of Erudia.<br /> <br /> Once, he'd inflicted a crushing defeat on the strongest battalions in eighteen countries. He was an overbearing and formidable man.<br /> <br /> He who overwhelmed the world with his unparalleled power had even created the Five Great Wars Regiment, Cavalry Regiment, and many more.<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> Setting foot on his homeland, Levi Garrison was overcome with emotions.<br /> <br /> Once upon a time, he used to be an orphan who was abandoned on the streets of North Hampton and then adopted by the Garrison family.<br /> <br /> However, the Garrison family had never been fond of him.<br /> <br /> His adoptive parents, who had a tendency to beat and scold him, treated him like an outsider.<br /> <br /> As for the outsiders, they treated him as a nobody.<br /> <br /> But he didn't care a stiver. He had always been proud of his surname since he was a child, and he strived to bring glory to this family when he grew older.<br /> <br /> At last, Levi had established Levi Group, the largest dark horse in North Hampton's business community.<br /> <br /> With billions of assets, it ranked among the forefront of North Hampton, pushing the declining Garrison family to the top.<br /> <br /> However, not only did the Garrison family showed no signs of appreciation, they even harbored dissatisfaction towards him. Jealous of his success, they regarded him as a thorn in their flesh and coveted Levi Group.<br /> <br /> No matter his wealth and power, unless they were in control, he was just an outsider in the Garrison family's eyes.<br /> <br /> Eventually, on Levi's wedding night, the Garrison family plotted a frame-up against him by getting him drunk before tossing him onto his sister-in-law's bed. They wanted to create the illusion that he was doing something untoward to her and was caught in bed by his brother and adoptive parents.<br /> <br /> That night, the Garrison family had brutally broken his limbs and left him on the road like a wild dog.<br /> <br /> Not only was he handicapped, but he also had to take the flak for something he didn't commit.<br /> <br /> From an upstart in the business world, he had become the target of disdain overnight.<br /> <br /> And the next day, he had been punished for several crimes and sentenced to six years in prison.<br /> <br /> He could never forget the ruthless and sinister faces of everyone in the Garrison family and the ridicule of his friends, classmates, and business partners.<br /> <br /> More so, he could never forget the disappointment on his newly wedded wife, Zoey's face.<br /> <br /> He had regarded the Garrison family as his home and devoted himself to the family.<br /> <br /> Yet, they treated him like trash.<br /> <br /> It felt as if a knife was being twisted in his heart every time he thought about this.<br /> <br /> How he hated the Garrison family!<br /> <br /> But who would have thought that Levi had been secretly transferred away from prison to join the military?<br /> <br /> In a few years, he dominated the military world and became the one and only five-star God of War.<br /> <br /> Now that he came back, the Garrison family ought to stay on their toes.<br /> <br /> “How's it going, Azure Dragon?” Levi asked.<br /> <br /> Azure Dragon, the commander of the Five Great Wars Regiment, took a step forward and said respectfully, “Sir, I'm afraid your wife, Ms. Zoey Lopez will remarry at ten o'clock tonight!”<br /> <br /> Ever since Zoey's husband was sent to prison on their wedding night, she had been living like a widow.<br /> <br /> Only God knew how much pressure she was put under.<br /> <br /> And right now, the person Levi couldn't wait to see the most was Zoey.<br /> <br /> After a moment of hesitation, Azure Dragon continued, “To add on, Sir, the Garrison family is holding a successful listing celebration banquet at the Crystal Palace Hotel tonight! Many people had invited the God of War just now, including the Garrison family, but I didn't accept nor refuse directly.”<br /> <br /> “What time?” Levi asked tersely.<br /> <br /> “Eight o'clock, Sir.”<br /> <br /> “Okay. Tell the Garrison family I will attend the banquet!”<br /> <br /> Since the time for the two events didn't clash, Levi gladly accepted the invitation.<br /> <br /> The celebration banquet for the public listing of Garrison Group was held at North Hampton's Crystal Palace Hotel.<br /> <br /> With the help of Levi Group, they had become a rich and powerful family in one fell swoop.<br /> <br /> The hall was bustling with noise and excitement, and sounds of glasses clinking could be heard ringing in the air every now and then.<br /> <br /> “God bless the Garrison family,” said Joseph, the head of the Garrison family. “The younger generations are the stars among men. Garrison Group is now listed and has become an upstart in North Hampton!”<br /> <br /> Joseph's three sons and daughter welcomed their guests with bright smiles on their faces.<br /> <br /> The younger generation of the Garrison family was all the smugger and prouder because, after today, the Garrison family would become a powerful family, and they would become one of the top rich kids.<br /> <br /> Most of the guests who attended today's banquet were from the top circle in North Hampton.<br /> <br /> “Garrison, do you know what happened today?! Your celebration party is nothing compared to that.” They were gossiping about the major event that had happened today.<br /> <br /> “Yeah! I heard that a big shot has arrived in North Hampton!”<br /> <br /> “The richest man in North Hampton wanted to meet him but was shooed away. Apparently, he's not qualified enough!”<br /> <br /> “So? Jesse Nielsen had been waiting for five hours in advance at the airport!”<br /> <br /> Joseph nodded. “Yes, I know about that too. I even sent someone to invite this big shot to the celebration party!”<br /> <br /> “No way! Why would this big shot attend such a party?”<br /> <br /> No one believed it.<br /> <br /> In fact, as an upstart, Joseph was just trying his luck.<br /> <br /> “Dad!” shouted Jaycob, the second eldest son of the Garrison family could be seen running over. “The big shot has accepted our invitation to attend our celebration banquet! He's on the way!”<br /> <br /> “Jesus! God has indeed blessed the Garrison family!”<br /> <br /> Everyone in the Garrison family could barely conceal their delight as this was their chance to reach the sky in a single bound.<br /> <br /> The grandchildren of the Garrison family gathered together, sunshine flooding their souls.<br /> <br /> Levi's brother, Bryan, and sister-in-law, Victoria, smiled. “Well, it all starts with Levi's imprisonment that the Garrison family is at where we are today...”<br /> <br /> “Right, speaking about Levi, do you guys know today's the day that kid gets out of prison?!” somebody asked abruptly.<br /> <br /> “Really? Isn't that bad luck? Why did he have to be released on such a big day?!”<br /> <br /> “Please, please, please don't come back! He's the Garrison family's biggest disgrace!”<br /> <br /> Victoria's lips tugged into a sneer. “Speaking of which, Levi is the crowning glory of the Garrison family's status today.”<br /> <br /> “That's what he's supposed to do!” Bryan said. “He should contribute to the Garrison family for raising him, an orphan! His multi-billion Levi Group means nothing. To put it bluntly, he's just a dog raised by the Garrison family!”<br /> <br /> Someone gave a chortle. “As a matter of fact, I've been interested in Levi's wife for a long time now. She's still widowed, and I'm so going to marry her!”<br /> <br /> The man's remark caused gales of laughter.<br /> <br /> “Everyone, stop what you're doing. I have an important announcement to make,” Joseph said and went on to announce that the big shot was coming.<br /> <br /> A thunderous applause was heard.<br /> <br /> But when the applause had died down, there was still someone clapping.<br /> <br /> The sound was loud and clear, approaching from afar.<br /> <br /> On the red carpet, a man came clapping, looking bold and energetic.<br /> <br /> His stride gave off a majestic and imposing aura, which made the mass hold their breaths.<br /> <br /> “It's Levi!” Bryan and Victoria exclaimed.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, all eyes were riveted on him.<br /> <br /> “I forgot this little brat got out of jail today!” Levi's adoptive parents spoke in unison.<br /> <br /> Ignoring the astonished gazes darted at his way, Levi walked step by step towards Joseph.<br /> <br /> “A little bird told me that the company is now listed. How are you feeling, Joseph? Are you happy?”<br /> <br /> Levi flashed him a meaningful smile.<br /> <br /> “How dare you show up here, you insolent brat! And what did you just call me?” Joseph's fury sprang to life.<br /> <br /> “Who let him in? Didn't you know he just got out of prison? How inauspicious!”<br /> <br /> Bryan rose to his feet. “…… are you doing here, Levi?”<br /> <br /> Levi sized him up. “Why can't I be here?”<br /> <br /> “Well, for starters, you're an orphan! The Garrison family has raised you, but you were ambitious and ungrateful. You had inordinate ambitions for your sister-in-law, and you wanted to take possession of the Garrison family! You'd even tried to kill your parents when things go south! Have you no conscience? Do you have any sense of morality left in your heart?”<br /> <br /> “You've lost your reputation in North Hampton, and everyone knows that. Have you no shame to have the brass neck to come round here?”<br /> <br /> “Everyone knows why you're back. You want to leech off the Garrison family; you want our money, isn't it?!”<br /> <br /> “You've long been expelled from the Garrison family, you ungrateful wretch! The Garrison family has nothing to do with you! Now, get lost!”<br /> <br /> Levi's adoptive parents rose to their feet and pointed at his nose, hurling abusive remarks at him.<br /> <br /> The Garrison family's brazenness of distorting the truth was mind-bending.<br /> <br /> How disappointing!<br /> <br /> He had thought they would feel somewhat apologetic after six years, but they were unexpectedly more aggravated.<br /> <br /> They took everything from him, crippled him, and ruined his reputation, turning everything upside down and making everything his fault instead.<br /> <br /> The Garrison family didn't have the slightest bit of compassion to speak of.<br /> <br /> Bryan zipped towards Levi, assessing him condescendingly. “Hmph! Don't you just want money now that you're back?”<br /> <br /> Flap!<br /> <br /> Bryan threw a credit card to the ground and lifted his foot, shaking his leather shoe. “My vamp is dirty. Lick it clean, and the one million in this card is yours!”<br /> <br /> His words elicited a fresh burst of laughter as the crowd looked at Levi as if they were looking at a dog.<br /> <br /> “Oh my! One million? That's more than enough to cover his living expenses. I bet he'll lick it!”<br /> <br /> Victoria gave a wry look.<br /> <br /> “On your knees!” Bryan roared, seeing that Levi was glaring at him. “Now, lick my shoe!”<br /> <br /> Levi stared at him coldly and held his peace.<br /> <br /> “Kneel!!!”<br /> <br /> Bryan rushed to Levi and pressed his shoulders, forcing him to kneel, but the latter didn't budge.<br /> <br /> “I said kneel!!!”<br /> <br /> Bryan struggled to rivet him to the spot.<br /> <br /> “Drop dead!”<br /> <br /> Levi suddenly slapped Bryan in the face, sending him flying almost eight meters away.<br /> <br /> Silence engulfed the room; one could even hear a pin drop!<br /> <br /> Unbelievable!<br /> <br /> Everyone in the Garrison family was stupefied.<br /> <br /> What did Levi just do?<br /> <br /> Did he just knock Bryan to the ground with a single slap?<br /> <br /> Plod!<br /> <br /> Bryan was about to get up when Levi stepped on him, crushed him, and crossed over him.<br /> <br /> Looking at the approaching Levi, Joseph instinctively stepped back.<br /> <br /> Levi went up the stage and adjusted the microphone stand.<br /> <br /> Everyone looked at him, wondering what he was going to do next.<br /> <br /> “Listen up, everyone...”<br /> <br /> “I'm sure you remember what happened six years ago, yes? For the love and care I had received from the Garrison family during childhood, I'm giving you one month to kneel before me for three days and three nights to repent your sins!”<br /> <br /> “Remember, that's everyone from the Garrison family!”<br /> <br /> “If I don't see any shadow within a month, the outcome is simple—I swear I'll wipe off every single one of you here today!”<br /> <br /> Levi's voice was low and deep.<br /> <br /> But as soon as he finished, the crowd was laughing like a drain.<br /> <br /> “Did prison life eat his brain or what? What conceited nonsense is he spouting?”<br /> <br /> “The Garrison family right now is a juggernaut in North Hampton. He's just a criminal. Isn't it a pipe dream to destroy the Garrison family?”<br /> <br /> “Did he knock his brain loose or something?”<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> “Bear in mind that I have limited patience. You only have one month! Of course, you may gather your strengths and connections to fight against me! I'll be waiting.”<br /> <br /> Levi then took his leave straightaway, disregarding the mockeries of the crowd.<br /> <br /> “Stop right there, you *! Did I tell you to leave?”<br /> <br /> Ben, Levi's adoptive father, wanted to stop him.<br /> <br /> “Ben, let him go!” Joseph said. “It's a big day today. I don't want to see bloodshed!”<br /> <br /> He was afraid about the impact that would bring about if the big shot saw this.<br /> <br /> “Yeah! There are so much more opportunities to take care of him!”<br /> <br /> “He's in luck that the big shot is on his way!”<br /> <br /> With that, Levi left the place under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people.<br /> <br /> After Levi had left, Joseph asked anxiously, “Jaycob, where's the big shot? Isn't he here yet?”<br /> <br /> Jaycob looked dazed. “According to the time, he should have arrived long ago. Let me ask...”<br /> <br /> After making a phone call, Jaycob blanched. “Dad, the big shot was here, but he left already.”<br /> <br /> “What? The big shot was here?”<br /> <br /> “The big shot said that the Garrison family are a bunch of unworthy stupid pigs!”<br /> <br /> “I get it. He must have left in a fit of rage after witnessing the ruckus that brat had created!”<br /> <br /> “He must have thought that the Garrison family disrespected him!”<br /> <br /> Joseph trembled with rage. “That brat will pay for this!”<br /> <br /> The multitude reacted accordingly.<br /> <br /> Levi has ruined the Garrison family's glorious event!<br /> <br /> He just pissed off the big shot!<br /> <br /> That's equivalent to cutting off the Garrison family's chance to reach the sky!<br /> <br /> Levi Garrison is indeed the sinner of the Garrison family!<br /> <br /> At that moment, the Garrison family wished to skin Levi alive.<br /> <br /> His adoptive parents, brother, and sister-in-law especially hated him to the bone. “Just you wait, Levi!”<br /> <br /> After leaving Crystal Palace Hotel, the next person that Levi was going to look for was his wife, Zoey Lopez.<br /> <br /> In this life, he owed no debt to the Garrison family, nor his friends and classmates, but Zoey.<br /> <br /> He had been imprisoned on the second day after the wedding, making Zoey lose her reputation. That even put her through six years of widowhood.<br /> <br /> This woman has carried too much on her shoulders for six years.<br /> <br /> But now that I'm back, I'll hold your hand, and we'll conquer the world together!<br /> <br /> After hesitating for a long time, Levi pressed the doorbell.<br /> <br /> Thud!<br /> <br /> The young woman dropped her mobile phone to the ground as the door opened.<br /> <br /> Upon taking a closer look at Levi's face, Zoey broke down in tears.<br /> <br /> “Zoey, quick, just get the parcel and come in. It's almost time for the family banquet! Your grandfather is going to settle your marriage at the family banquet tonight. You can't get away from this!”<br /> <br /> “Yeah! Quickly get dressed! Your grandfather is going to set you up with someone else!”<br /> <br /> Zoey's parents' voices sounded from the inside.<br /> <br /> “Zoey, I'm back!” Levi said excitedly, wanting to fling his arm around her, but Zoey slapped his hands away.<br /> <br /> “Why did you come back? I've already forgotten about you...”<br /> <br /> Zoey's voice was choked with sobs.<br /> <br /> Very soon after, Zoey's parents, Aaron and Caitlyn, came out, looking horrified.<br /> <br /> “How dare you have the nerve to come back? Do you know how much criticism my family has suffered because of you? Especially Zoey. Do you know how much she has suffered for the past six years?” Zoey's father, Aaron, reproached.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, her mother, Caitlyn, pushed and shoved Levi. “You should know that this relationship between you and Zoey is impossible in this life the moment you went to jail! You're a criminal! You're just a street rat in North Hampton! You're only putting Zoey in harm's way by coming to see her!”<br /> <br /> Naturally, Levi had known of Zoey's sufferings for the past six years, including her refusal to remarry because of him.<br /> <br /> Levi put on a serious face. “This time, I'm back for good. I won't leave Zoey ever again. I will grant her a bright future and let her own the world!”<br /> <br /> Levi's declaration had Aaron and Caitlyn hooting with laughter.<br /> <br /> “You've spent six years in jail. How are you going to give Zoey a future?” Aaron asked with a sneer.<br /> <br /> “Yeah! With your mouth?” Caitlyn chimed in. “There's a limit to talking big!”<br /> <br /> Nonetheless, Levi smiled. “Don't worry. I'll reclaim what I lost in those years! I'll destroy the Garrison family in a month!”<br /> <br /> “Levi!” This time, even Zoey couldn't bear to listen to his nonsense any longer. “Can we be more realistic? It doesn't matter if you just get out of prison. Can't you just be down to earth and start anew? I believe that you will make a comeback one day, but you can't just indulge in tall talk. Do you know just how powerful the Garrison family is right now? And besides, today's era is a far cry from what it was six years ago!”<br /> <br /> “Zoey, trust me,” Levi said earnestly. “I can make the Garrison family bow at my feet with just a word!”<br /> <br /> Preposterous!<br /> <br /> Levi's bravado nearly drove Zoey and her parents round the bend.<br /> <br /> Having been caged up for six years, did he finally lose his mind?<br /> <br /> “Fine. If you say so,” Zoey said, shoving her mobile phone to Levi directly. “Then prove it! I'd like to see how you make the Garrison family bow their heads with just one word!”<br /> <br /> “I...”<br /> <br /> Levi was stunned.<br /> <br /> It was true that he could exterminate the Garrison family with his words, but he had given them one month; it would be too uneventful to destroy them now.<br /> <br /> “See, you can't do it, can't you? Then don't you ever talk big if you can't!”<br /> <br /> Zoey smashed the phone to the ground, marking her wrath.<br /> <br /> Following that, her parents pushed Levi away. “Go now. You're not welcome here. We've got a family banquet to attend!”<br /> <br /> “No. Mom, Dad, let him in!”<br /> <br /> “What do you mean, Zoey?”<br /> <br /> “I won't remarry. My husband is back.”<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> Aaron and Caitlyn couldn't talk her round, so they could only let him in.<br /> <br /> After that, Zoey took Levi to her bedroom.<br /> <br /> “Since you're back, you're still my husband. I don't care about the gossips. Besides, I believe you're innocent, and anyone with discerning eyes can see that it was the Garrison family who'd framed you!”<br /> <br /> Levi could feel the warmth in his heart.<br /> <br /> She trusted him, and that was more than enough for him.<br /> <br /> “But you must promise me to start from zero and be down to earth. I believe you will achieve something great with your ability! I'll give you five years!”<br /> <br /> “That's unnecessary,” Levi said. “Just give me one month. In a month, I'll de—”<br /> <br /> “Shut up! I don't want to listen to your nonsensical and unrealistic talks! Why can't we just be realistic?” Zoey shouted.<br /> <br /> “Even if you have nothing now, as long as you take one step at a time, I believe you'll get back on your feet!”<br /> <br /> Levi shut up obediently.<br /> <br /> “I bought you these six years ago.” Zoey took out a suit from the cupboard. “Change into it at once and follow me to the family banquet!”<br /> <br /> “Zoey, what is up with you?”<br /> <br /> Seeing Levi all dressed up, Aaron and Caitlyn were naturally dissatisfied.<br /> <br /> Zoey clung onto Levi's arm. “Mom, Dad, Levi is my husband now! I will make myself clear to Grandpa tonight!”<br /> <br /> Aaron and Caitlyn looked daggers at Levi, sighing helplessly, “For Heaven's sake!”<br /> <br /> The Lopez family banquet was held at Golden Port Restaurant, where they contracted the entire restaurant.<br /> <br /> Naturally, the Lopez family was not as powerful as the Garrison family, but they were considered above average in North Hampton.<br /> <br /> When Zoey and her family arrived at the main hall, they were greeted with strange and jesting gazes.<br /> <br /> In the past, when Zoey and Levi had gotten married, Aaron's family status was the highest in the Lopez family.<br /> <br /> But after Levi's downfall, Aaron's family had experienced a seismic shift in life, and their status in the Lopez family took a nosedive as they became the subject of ridicule, especially during family events.<br /> <br /> “Look! Is that Levi beside Zoey?”<br /> <br /> “Yeah! It's really him! He's released from prison already?”<br /> <br /> All eyes fell on Levi at once.<br /> <br /> Harry, the head of the Lopez family, snorted and turned a blind eye to the four of them.<br /> <br /> The old man's favorite now was Fabian, his eldest son, and his family.<br /> <br /> Mainly because Fabian's son-in-law, Samuel Robertson, was of mixed ethnicity who was born rich and had lived overseas.<br /> <br /> This time, Harry was going to set up Zoey with Samuel's younger brother, Chris, who had been casting covetous eyes on Zoey for some time now.<br /> <br /> With no one paying attention to them, Aaron and his family could only find a place to sit first.<br /> <br /> As they were about to take their seats, a voice was heard. “No, Aaron. You guys can't sit here.”<br /> <br /> It was a reminder from Henry, the second eldest son of the Lopez family.<br /> <br /> “What?”<br /> <br /> “There are sitting arrangements to the family banquet this time.”<br /> <br /> Aaron looked puzzled. “How so?”<br /> <br /> “There are four tables for the family banquet! And it's decided according to the family contribution!”<br /> <br /> “For example, the first table is given to the family who contributed over five million to the family in a year; a million for the second table, a hundred thousand for the third table, and less than a hundred thousand for the last table, or should I say no contribution at all!”<br /> <br /> Henry smiled smugly. “Our family has made good profits this year, and we've contributed just about five million to the family. So excuse me, but this table here is ours.”<br /> <br /> “Of course, you can also sit at the first table without contributing. That is if your family has tens of millions of assets.”<br /> <br /> “Unfortunately, we couldn't be any clearer about your family's situation,” sneered Maddison, Henry's wife. “Now that there's an ex-convict in your family, I'm sorry that you guys can only sit at the last table!”<br /> <br /> “Mom, Dad, as far as I know, Uncle Aaron and his family didn't contribute much to the family last year,” said Shaun, Henry's son, walking over with a glass in his hand. “Their company went bankrupt, and they even borrowed over two million from Grandpa. Clearly, it's a negative contribution. It's unfair to the relatives sitting at the fourth table! I say we add a fifth table for negative contributors!”<br /> <br /> “Yeah, I agree!”<br /> <br /> The rest of the Lopez family concurred.<br /> <br /> “Okay, we'll do as Shaun says! This shall motivate you people!”<br /> <br /> Harry gave his consent.<br /> <br /> “Hurry up and sit down. Don't just stand there and make a fool out of yourselves.” Harry glared at Aaron.<br /> <br /> With that, Aaron and his family walked over to the fifth table quietly.<br /> <br /> “Which table should a ten billion contributor sit at?” asked Levi suddenly, pulling Zoey's arm.<br /> <br /> Levi was the one and only five-star God of War, and wealth to him was just a number.<br /> <br /> In fact, he didn't know exactly how much he had, but he could still fork out ten billion casually for the family contribution on behalf of Aaron's family.<br /> <br /> As soon as Levi said that, everyone was stunned at his query.<br /> <br /> After a few moments of silence, the crowd blossomed into an enormous belly laugh.<br /> <br /> “Ten billion? You must be kidding me! Even the aristocratic Garrison family may not have that much money!”<br /> <br /> “This kid must have a loose screw in the head to come here and embarrass himself!”<br /> <br /> “Hey, Aaron. Did you know you have a son-in-law worth ten billion? Hahaha...”<br /> <br /> Sensing the jeering gazes and titter from the people around, Aaron and his family wished the ground could swallow them whole.<br /> <br /> This is embarrassing!<br /> <br /> Too embarrassing!<br /> <br /> Zoey's temper sparked, and her eyes blazed with rage.<br /> <br /> “Levi Garrison, is it not enough for you to talk big at home that you have to come here and embarrass me? Do you think you haven't done enough after all these years?”<br /> <br /> Zoey trembled as tears silently rolling down her cheeks.<br /> <br /> “But I do have ten billion!” Levi said helplessly.<br /> <br /> At this time, no one bothered to listen to Levi's sheer bull because the star of the day, Fabian's son-in-law, had arrived.<br /> <br /> Everyone, including Harry, went out to the entrance to greet him.<br /> <br /> “I'm sorry to keep everyone waiting.” Samuel wore an apologetic expression.<br /> <br /> “Your flight was nearly ten hours late. What's up with that?” Harry asked in concern.<br /> <br /> Samuel smiled. “Grandpa, don't you know? A big shot has arrived in North Hampton, and North Hampton Airport was sealed off for eight hours.”<br /> <br /> What? Is there such a thing?<br /> <br /> “Who's this big shot to have the airport sealed off, Samuel?” Harry asked smilingly.<br /> <br /> “It's not just that. It's said that a hundred planes escorted the private jet of that big shot, and there were a hundred thousand people guarding at the airport.”<br /> <br /> “Damn!”<br /> <br /> “What?”<br /> <br /> The crowd gasped in shock.<br /> <br /> “He's the commander-in-chief of nine military regions, the God of War of Erudia. Haha, you may not believe it if I say this, but I met this great man when I was at a gathering abroad, and we even exchanged numbers. I didn't expect him to take up a post in North Hampton! I'll ask him out sometime in support of the Lopez family. That way, you'll gain a foothold in North Hampton in no time,” Samuel said loftily.<br /> <br /> “God! That's incredible! How did you even get to know someone like him?”<br /> <br /> “My brother-in-law is so cool!”<br /> <br /> “The Lopez family's son-in-law is one of a kind! Of course, except for one!”<br /> <br /> Everyone looked at Samuel with veneration; the old man was all the more impressed, Aaron and Caitlyn begrudged Fabian's son-in-law, and Zoey was envious as well.<br /> <br /> But she believed that in five years, Levi, too, could make her grandfather proud.<br /> <br /> Yet, unbeknownst to them, Levi was actually barely stifling in his laughter.<br /> <br /> This kid is quite something to know that I've arrived.<br /> <br /> But his ability to make up nonsense is even more impressive.<br /> <br /> “You're saying you know the God of War?” Levi asked.<br /> <br /> Samuel raised his head. “Yeah, we had a drink together. Is there a problem?”<br /> <br /> Levi chuckled. “Then why don't I recognize you?”<br /> <br /> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here<br /> Install the APP to search for the book title "God of War: Pinnacle" Read more exciting content immediately	LEARN_MORE	https://page.tapon.com/h5-book-share-custom4.html?	104800005627300	A wonderful story	https://facebook.com/100083177024234	56,980	2	974,534,753,672,236	2024-04-28 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	1	1	Learn more	A wonderful story	120208810159170654	page.tapon.com	NONE	video		https://page.tapon.com/h5-book-share-custom4.html?lang=en&id=1894&brand=3&app=0&ppid=985&pid=FBW2A&campaign={{campaign.id}}&adset_id={{adset.id}}&ad_id={{ad.id}}&utm_source=FBW2A&utm_medium={{placement}}&utm_campaign={{campaign.id}}&utm_term={{adset.id}}&utm_content={{ad.id}}&ori_campaign_id=120208810155160654&ori_adset_id=120208810155730654&ori_ad_id=120208810158430654		2024-04-28 03:40	https://scontent-bos5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440138242_792529069646831_929599278400098789_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=4zE-ohJb7hcAb6_SNbW&_nc_ht=scontent-bos5-1.xx&oh=00_AfCV_dDRGp0tzdSC1qxt1feIXvPvjyrv4jjIK0SGfAknsg&oe=66344015	person_profile	A wonderful story	https://scontent-bos5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440126587_1355306415147117_4585091041190632255_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=M61ey8eCdCEAb5_bLLA&_nc_ht=scontent-bos5-1.xx&oh=00_AfCAPvMVkVsPR8t6Zzv212bjSjdYfgF09Eq-AhNEpYgJjA&oe=663437FE	3	A wonderful story	2024-04-28 02:00	View Edit Delete

Go pay the fees right now, and let's start the surgery!"<br /> <br /> Pay the fees...<br /> <br /> Su Yi snapped back to reality, his expression bitter as he patted his pockets.<br /> <br /> Aside from an old cell phone, he didn't have a single penny.<br /> <br /> Seeing his plight, the doctor's anger grew yet he also felt more angered: "No money? Then why didn't you bring her in before her condition worsened!"<br /> <br /> Though he spoke sharply, the doctor's conscience prevailed.<br /> <br /> He gritted his teeth: "Forget it, I'll advance the medical and hospitalization expenses for you; let's stabilize her condition first."<br /> <br /> "The surgery will cost around three hundred thousand, you better hurry up and find a way to get the money."<br /> <br /> "Remember, three days—if it's more than three days, it's all over!"<br /> <br /> In an era where interests reign supreme and capital rules, such a doctor was truly rare.<br /> <br /> With tears covering his face, Su Yi was immensely grateful and kept bowing deeply.<br /> <br /> "I really can't thank you enough; you truly have the heart of a Bodhisattva."<br /> <br /> "Stop wasting time, hurry up, don't delay a minute!"<br /> <br /> The doctor urged sternly.<br /> <br /> Wiping away tears, Su Yi turned and strode out of the hospital.<br /> <br /> "Xiao Xiao, don't worry, Daddy will definitely save you," Su Yi told himself silently.<br /> <br /> But thinking of the three hundred thousand needed for the surgery, a strong sense of powerlessness surged inside him.<br /> <br /> He once had a very happy family.<br /> <br /> They were in business, mainly in the pharmaceutical field, even having their own medical laboratory.<br /> <br /> But due to an accident, the lab exploded, leaving no one in his family alive except for himself, who wasn't there at the time.<br /> <br /> The family business was also devoured clean by the other shareholders at the first opportunity.<br /> <br /> Fortunately, the Su and the Lin families were longtime friends, and both patriarchs were comrade-at-arms with life-saving bonds between them.<br /> <br /> A long time ago, the two old men had arranged a marriage between Su Yi and Lin Xinran.<br /> <br /> After the explosion, Old Master Lin, valuing loyalty and righteousness, took Su Yi into the Lin family and personally arranged the marriage for him.<br /> <br /> Since then, Su Yi had become the son-in-law of the Lin family.<br /> <br /> At first, the Lin family had their reservations about Su Yi, but due to the senior's authority, they dared not be too excessive.<br /> <br /> Since the old man died three years ago, their attitude towards Su Yi changed drastically.<br /> <br /> It was also at that time that Su Yi's wife, Lin Xinran, fell ill with a strange disease, becoming virtually a vegetative person.<br /> <br /> She could open and close her eyes, eat and drink, but she couldn't move a single finger, nor could she utter a single word.<br /> <br /> At that time, their daughter, Su Xiaoxiao, had just turned one year old.<br /> <br /> Good fortunes don't come in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly.<br /> <br /> Seizing the opportunity, the Lin family began asserting themselves, expelling the mother and daughter from the clan on the pretext of the family being useless.<br /> <br /> Even Lin Xinran's parents chose to break off relations with them to enjoy the wealth and status within the clan.<br /> <br /> It could be said that Su Yi was now truly alone.<br /> <br /> During these three years, he bore the burden of the family alone and had to buy medicine for his wife, making it impossible to save any money.<br /> <br /> Three hundred thousand... It was enough to crush an adult!<br /> <br /> "What should I do..."<br /> <br /> Su Yi looked around helplessly, alone in the world.<br /> <br /> It was impossible to ask the Lin family.<br /> <br /> Not due to pride.<br /> <br /> But because, in order to buy medicine for his wife, Su Yi had knelt in front of the Lin family's door multiple times, only to be turned away with a slammed door every single time.<br /> <br /> He could not borrow any money!<br /> <br /> "Maybe... I can look for Chen Mingjun!"<br /> <br /> There was a hint of resolve in Su Yi's eyes.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun was one of the former shareholders of the Su family business.<br /> <br /> He was also the only wealthy person Su Yi knew where to find.<br /> <br /> However, Su Yi's father had always had conflicts with him while at the company.<br /> <br /> He might make things difficult!<br /> <br /> But he couldn't care about that anymore; as long as he could save his daughter, he would withstand any storm!<br /> <br /> …<br /> <br /> Mountain and Water Villas.<br /> <br /> This is where Chen Mingjun lived.<br /> <br /> When Su Yi arrived, he happened to catch Chen Mingjun's Maybach returning from outside.<br /> <br /> "Isn't that Young Master Su? From a distance, I almost mistook you for someone else. Wasn't your family pretty high and mighty before? What brings you to my residence today?"<br /> <br /> As the car window rolled down, Chen Mingjun smirked.<br /> <br /> Su Yi had no choice but to appear very humble, bowing as he said, "Uncle Chen, I've come today to ask for your help."<br /> <br /> "Ask me for help?" Chen Mingjun seemed amused, his teasing smile deepening: "Well, I must hear what it is about; it's not every day that Young Master Su asks a favor."<br /> <br /> "My daughter is gravely ill; I need three hundred thousand for her surgery. I hope Uncle Chen can help."<br /> <br /> Su Yi had a pleasing look and hopeful eyes.<br /> <br /> "Haha... You just want to borrow money? The thing I lack the least is money!"<br /> <br /> "I made the most out of the Su family's bankruptcy!"<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun laughed loudly as he stepped out of the car.<br /> <br /> Callous mockery!<br /> <br /> The classic example of reveling in the misfortune of others!<br /> <br /> Su Yi clenched his fists, and it took a good while before he managed to suppress the anger in his heart, struggling to squeeze out a smile.<br /> <br /> "Considering the many years we've known each other, I hope Uncle Chen can lend a hand."<br /> <br /> "No problem, these are trifles."<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun waved his hand generously, and then his tone shifted.<br /> <br /> He said with a smile, "It's just that... my dear nephew, your current way of asking for help isn't quite right; it makes it very difficult for me."<br /> <br /> Way?!<br /> <br /> Su Yi clenched his teeth.<br /> <br /> That meant he had to kneel!<br /> <br /> Alright, for his daughter, kneel!<br /> <br /> Bang!<br /> <br /> Su Yi knelt heavily on the ground.<br /> <br /> He took a deep breath, and once again a servile smile appeared on his face as he spit out the flattering words that made him feel nauseous.<br /> <br /> "Uncle Chen, it's my incompetence that has made you witness such a farce."<br /> <br /> "That's more or less like it."<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun scoffed and, looking down from on high, lifted his foot and placed it directly on Su Yi's head.<br /> <br /> Bang!<br /> <br /> Su Yi collapsed heavily onto the ground, his mouth full of dust.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun looked down from above: "My dear nephew, you look like a dog right now."<br /> <br /> "I... I am a dog, begging Uncle Chen for help... woof woof woof..."<br /> <br /> Su Yi's teeth gnashed loudly.<br /> <br /> After saying that, he closed his eyes tightly, tears of humiliation flowed down, and his face buried deeply into the ground.<br /> <br /> Humiliation, unwillingness!<br /> <br /> But he had to endure it and still entertain the other party!<br /> <br /> "Hahaha..." Chen Mingjun laughed arrogantly: "Your father is an old dog, you are a pup, so isn't your wife a bitch?"<br /> <br /> Su Yi was trembling with anger, yet powerless to do anything.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun smacked his lips: "Tsk, speaking of Lin Xinran, that bitch... she was once famed for her beauty in Yancheng."<br /> <br /> "Anyway, since she can't move, let Uncle Chen train her well someday while you watch."<br /> <br /> "Who knows, maybe she might suddenly be able to move once she gets excited."<br /> <br /> Su Yi's face turned ashen, veins bulging on his forehead, and his breathing grew rapid.<br /> <br /> "Oh, is this little dog getting angry?"<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun mocked him, pressing his shoe sole cruelly against Su Yi's head and spitting a wad of yellow phlegm on the ground.<br /> <br /> "Ptui! I want to see what kind of integrity this dog has, and whether you still want to save your daughter!"<br /> <br /> Daughter...<br /> <br /> Su Yi's body shook.<br /> <br /> Regardless of the extreme humiliation and unwillingness, he had no choice but to swallow his teeth into his stomach.<br /> <br /> Tears streaming down his face, he said, "The... the dog dares not be angry."<br /> <br /> "Hahaha... What an obedient dog!" Chen Mingjun laughed triumphantly, pointing to the ground: "However, a dog can even eat shit, see that spit? Lick it clean for me!"<br /> <br /> "Alright, I'll eat it! I hope that after eating, Uncle Chen will agree to lend me the money!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi gritted his teeth, holding back the nausea, and began crawling forward.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun watched him with a mocking gaze: "After that explosion, I was a little regretful that you didn't die, but now it seems that keeping you as a dog isn't so bad after all."<br /> <br /> Su Yi's movements stiffened suddenly, his face uncontrollably twitching.<br /> <br /> He looked up fiercely, fixing his stare on Chen Mingjun: "That explosion wasn't an accident, you were behind it?!"<br /> <br /> "You can't just say anything!" Chen Mingjun put on a stern face: "You know, medical experiments involve chemicals. My people just happened to purchase a small item mistakenly, who knew such a tragedy would happen. I'm very saddened by this as well!"<br /> <br /> This sentence was essentially an admission of guilt!<br /> <br /> He was the murderer who annihilated Su Yi's entire family!<br /> <br /> In an instant, Su Yi's eyes filled with bloodlust, red as a maddened beast, and a low growl emanated from his throat.<br /> <br /> "Motherfucker! Motherfucker!! I'll kill you!!!"<br /> <br /> The towering hatred from the massacre almost devoured him.<br /> <br /> He roared and struggled to rise from the ground, raising his fist and smashing it down fiercely.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun sidestepped, saying with a smile, "It seems you don't want to save your daughter, huh."<br /> <br /> "Kill you, kill you…" Su Yi was practically insane, continuously roaring, with bloodshot eyes, and only one thought in his brain.<br /> <br /> But before he could act again, a burly and towering man stepped out of the Maybach and stood in front of Chen Mingjun.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun smiled at Su Yi, "I kindly lent you money, but you repay kindness with enmity. Well, then I can only defend myself."<br /> <br /> After speaking, he patted the burly man's shoulder, "Don't kill him, just a broken leg and some internal injuries will do."<br /> <br /> "I still want to wait for him to calm down and beg me like a dog, desperately wagging his tail, asking me to save his daughter."<br /> <br /> The burly man nodded expressionlessly.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun got into the Maybach, carelessly throwing a baseball bat out of it.<br /> <br /> "Don't take too long."<br /> <br /> With those words, he drove the Maybach into the villa's garage.<br /> <br /> "Don't you fucking leave!!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi was enraged, eyes red, chasing after him.<br /> <br /> The burly man had already picked up the baseball bat, a cold light in his eyes, swirling the bat heavily and sweeping it across.<br /> <br /> It smashed down hard on Su Yi's knees!<br /> <br /> Bang!<br /> <br /> Crack!<br /> <br /> "Ahhh!!!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi collapsed entirely, letting out a piercing scream.<br /> <br /> His kneecap was completely shattered!<br /> <br /> The burly man coldly approached, raising the baseball bat and fiercely thrusting it downwards into Su Yi's chest.<br /> <br /> Spurt!<br /> <br /> A mouthful of blood sprayed out.<br /> <br /> Su Yi's face turned pale in an instant, his chest caving in deeply.<br /> <br /> The burly man grabbed his hair, dragged him brutally to the roadside trash can nearby, and stuffed him in roughly.<br /> <br /> After completing this, he dusted off his hands and walked away directly.<br /> <br /> Under the severe pain, Su Yi had already passed out.<br /> <br /> Blood was still gushing from his mouth.<br /> <br /> Soaking through his clothes.<br /> <br /> Staining a dragon-shaped jade pendant.<br /> <br /> This was a Su family heirloom jade pendant, also the only relic left to Su Yi by his father.<br /> <br /> Hum…<br /> <br /> The jade pendant emitted a faint, gentle glow, completely enveloping Su Yi within it.<br /> <br /> Vaguely, as if there were ethereal celestial sounds coming from the horizon.<br /> <br /> "I am the true martial medical ancestor of the Su family."<br /> <br /> "Any descendant of the Su family who inherits my legacy, remember that a physician should, at heart, be benevolent."<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> Su Yi had a dream.<br /> <br /> In the dream, there was an elder with the appearance of a young boy and white hair, exuding an aura of immortal charm, performing medical treatments.<br /> <br /> From observation, listening, and questioning to applying acupuncture and practicing alchemy…<br /> <br /> All sorts of mystical abilities, seemingly like magical powers, manifested in the hands of the elder.<br /> <br /> While performing these acts, he also explained them.<br /> <br /> Su Yi listened and learned from the perspective of a bystander.<br /> <br /> The more the elder explained, the more ethereal his body became, until at last, it was nearly transparent.<br /> <br /> Just as his figure was about to completely vanish.<br /> <br /> The elder suddenly turned around, revealing a smile, and pointed at Su Yi's forehead.<br /> <br /> Hum…<br /> <br /> A surge of energy flooded his entire body, and Su Yi felt a warm sensation all over.<br /> <br /> Countless pieces of information rushed into his mind.<br /> <br /> Gradually…<br /> <br /> Su Yi woke up, his consciousness returning to reality in an instant.<br /> <br /> "Xiao Xiao!"<br /> <br /> He jolted, his heart tied to his daughter, he cried out loud, instinctively climbing out from the trash can.<br /> <br /> Just as he stood on the ground, he was stunned!<br /> <br /> "My legs…"<br /> <br /> Su Yi's eyes widened in disbelief.<br /> <br /> The events of the dream replayed over and over in his mind.<br /> <br /> Could it be, it was all real?<br /> <br /> The True Martial Medical Ancestor of the Su family's legacy?!<br /> <br /> Gulp!<br /> <br /> Su Yi swallowed hard.<br /> <br /> He tried to feel his body.<br /> <br /> The injuries he had sustained yesterday were all healed!<br /> <br /> And his physical condition had improved overall!<br /> <br /> This was truly a miracle!<br /> <br /> Su Yi was overwhelmingly excited.<br /> <br /> "This is great, with this medical knowledge, I can save my daughter without surgery!"<br /> <br /> "And there's... Chen Mingjun!"<br /> <br /> Remembering the events of the previous night, the extinction of his family, a chill flashed in Su Yi's eyes.<br /> <br /> A blood debt must be paid in blood!<br /> <br /> But the immediate priority was to get to the hospital to save his daughter!<br /> <br /> Thinking of his daughter's illness, the cure naturally came to mind.<br /> <br /> He couldn't afford to delay and immediately set out for the hospital.<br /> <br /> On the way, he also bought a set of silver needles.<br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hospital, he headed straight to his daughter's ward.<br /> <br /> As he reached the corridor, he saw a group of doctors gathered at the door, discussing something with animated concern.<br /> <br /> "It's such a pity, she's so young."<br /> <br /> "Yes, at such a tender age, she should be enjoying a happy childhood… Sigh!"<br /> <br /> Boom!<br /> <br /> It was like a bolt from the blue.<br /> <br /> Su Yi felt as if he had been struck by lightning, completely distraught.<br /> <br /> Could it be… no, impossible!<br /> <br /> If that were true, what use was his medical knowledge?!<br /> <br /> "Make way, all of you make way!!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi rushed forward like a madman, forcibly pushing the doctors aside at the door.<br /> <br /> No sooner had he entered than he bumped into the doctor from yesterday.<br /> <br /> Su Yi grabbed the doctor's wrist and roared, "You said my daughter could hold on for three days, what's the situation now?!"<br /> <br /> "I… did my best."<br /> <br /> The doctor's face was full of guilt, and his voice was low.<br /> <br /> In the hospital, these three words were almost equivalent to announcing someone's death.<br /> <br /> Su Yi completely broke down, shaking the doctor's shoulders nonstop, tears streaming down his face. "What do you mean by 'did my best'?!"<br /> <br /> "What does 'did my best' mean?!!"<br /> <br /> "You clearly said three days, how come it's not even one day and she's gone?!!"<br /> <br /> The doctor didn't speak, but tears were also present in his eyes.<br /> <br /> The other doctors all tried to explain and console him.<br /> <br /> "This family member, Doctor Song truly did everything he could, he even took out his own retirement funds to try to pay for your daughter's surgery, but it's too late."<br /> <br /> "Yes, he said he'd promised you to watch over your daughter for three days, but he failed to do so. He cried all night long yesterday."<br /> <br /> "We called you, but no one answered."<br /> <br /> Su Yi's face was ash-gray, and he leaned against the wall, his body lacking the strength to stand.<br /> <br /> At that moment, it was as if all his vitality had been sapped away.<br /> <br /> Doctor Song's eyes were brimming with tears, "Don't try to comfort me, I know Mr. Su feels uneasy... It's all my fault..."<br /> <br /> Slap!<br /> <br /> As he spoke, he fiercely slapped his own face.<br /> <br /> Just then, an angry reprimand came from down the corridor, "What are you all doing crowding around here?!"<br /> <br /> "Don't you know that the dean and Professor Li are coming soon?"<br /> <br /> "I warn you, anyone who dares to cause trouble at this critical moment, I will not be lenient!"<br /> <br /> A forty-something-year-old middle-aged man with a gloomy expression on his face walked over.<br /> <br /> The badge on his chest read Director of Neurology.<br /> <br /> Seeing him approach, the doctors, displaying frightened expressions, turned and left one after another.<br /> <br /> Doctor Song did not leave.<br /> <br /> He looked at Su Yi, full of guilt, "Mr. Su, if you feel upset, you can beat me to vent your anger. That way, I might feel a bit better too."<br /> <br /> Su Yi, looking as if his soul had departed his body, shook his head.<br /> <br /> The director said with displeasure, "Song Renxin, did you not hear what I said? Hurry back to your position!"<br /> <br /> The doctor called Song Renxin replied in a deep voice, "Director Liu, the little girl in this ward is also my patient."<br /> <br /> Director Liu frowned and scolded, "Nonsense! The little girl's condition has deteriorated to the extreme, her entire central nervous system is paralyzed!"<br /> <br /> "She is hanging on by a single breath right now, even surgery won't save her!"<br /> <br /> "Your insistence on staying beside a dying person is irresponsible to the other patients!"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin was unable to refute.<br /> <br /> But Su Yi trembled all over, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.<br /> <br /> His daughter was still clinging to a breath!<br /> <br /> That was enough!<br /> <br /> With the medical knowledge in his mind, he could definitely save her!<br /> <br /> Without any hesitation, Su Yi turned and entered the ward.<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face changed, "Who is he?"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin replied gravely, "He's the patient's father."<br /> <br /> Director Liu was displeased, but he said nothing and just nodded, "Good, let him see his daughter for the last time."<br /> <br /> "My daughter is not dead!"<br /> <br /> Inside the ward, Su Yi shouted.<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face darkened, "Family member, I know she's not dead yet, but it's now beyond hope."<br /> <br /> "Originally, if you hadn't come, once she took her last breath, our hospital would have sent her straight to the morgue."<br /> <br /> "Now, you might as well take your daughter home and prepare for her funeral!"<br /> <br /> Inside the ward, Su Yi didn't speak.<br /> <br /> He took a deep breath, adjusting himself to the best state, took out his package of silver needles, and extracted one.<br /> <br /> His first time treating a patient, especially his daughter.<br /> <br /> Su Yi was determined to be fully focused, not allowing himself any mistakes!<br /> <br /> And he would not allow external disturbances!<br /> <br /> Outside the ward, Song Renxin bit his lip and said, "Director Liu, we are a hospital, we must prioritize compassion. Until the very last moment, unless voluntary by the family, we cannot let the family take the patient away!"<br /> <br /> "Why can't we? Right now, the relatives of patients are like ticking time bombs. Who knows when they'll cause medical disturbances? Do we really have to wait for the dean and Professor Li to witness such a commotion?!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu was extremely cold, as if human life was no different from that of an ant.<br /> <br /> He waited for a moment, but seeing that Su Yi did not come out with his daughter, his brows furrowed all the more.<br /> <br /> "What the hell are you doing?"<br /> <br /> Director Liu, growing impatient, also walked into the ward.<br /> <br /> Just as he entered, he saw Su Yi sitting beside the bed with a serious expression, a long, thin silver needle pinched between his fingers.<br /> <br /> Instantly, his expression changed dramatically!<br /> <br /> "What the fuck are you doing?!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu bellowed, striding forward and grabbing Su Yi's wrist, his eyes full of rage.<br /> <br /> At the same time, Su Yi also adjusted himself to the optimum state.<br /> <br /> Now was the moment!<br /> <br /> Su Yi's gaze flashed, his wrist unmoved, he simply flicked his finger.<br /> <br /> Whoosh!<br /> <br /> The silver needle shot out, piercing his daughter's brow with utmost precision.<br /> <br /> "Empty-air acupuncture?!!"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin, hearing the sound and coming in, just caught sight of this scene, his pupils shrank, and he was utterly shocked.<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> "You wanna die, do it alone, don't drag me into it!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu screamed, his face turning pale with fright.<br /> <br /> He didn't understand acupuncture performed in midair, but he knew the stakes of this inspection were high!<br /> <br /> If anything untoward happened in his department...<br /> <br /> he could kiss his director's position goodbye!<br /> <br /> "Get your daughter and get the hell out of here. If you want treatment, go elsewhere, but don't cause trouble in our hospital!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu yelled, trying to pull Su Yi away forcefully.<br /> <br /> But Su Yi was no longer the man he used to be, his body immovable, his gaze constantly fixed on his daughter's condition.<br /> <br /> With his free hand, he once again picked up a silver needle.<br /> <br /> Director Liu gnashed his teeth in anger, "Are you fucking deaf?!"<br /> <br /> "I'm warning you, your daughter is about to die!"<br /> <br /> "Go ahead and prepare for your daughter's funeral, stop struggling!"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin shouted sternly, "Director Liu, as long as the patient has a breath left, we can't give up!"<br /> <br /> "Besides, Mr. Su is skilled in midair acupuncture, why not let him try?!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face turned cold, "Song Renxin, are you the director or am I?"<br /> <br /> "Also, why have I never heard of midair acupuncture?"<br /> <br /> "Don't fucking make up terms to fool me!"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin was so angry he silently gritted his teeth.<br /> <br /> You're really a tyrant, aren't you?<br /> <br /> Midair acupuncture is one of the highest attainments in traditional Chinese medicine.<br /> <br /> In the whole country, there probably aren't more than twenty who can do it effectively.<br /> <br /> And each one is a national treasure of a doctor!<br /> <br /> But... an official rank higher crushes the person below!<br /> <br /> Despite his title as director, Song Renxin truly had no way to deal with him.<br /> <br /> At that moment, a nurse rushed in: "Director Liu, the Hospital President and Professor Li have arrived."<br /> <br /> "They've already visited the internal medicine and surgery departments; next up is our neurology department."<br /> <br /> What?!<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face turned pale again.<br /> <br /> He couldn't delay any longer.<br /> <br /> He had to get rid of them as quickly as possible!<br /> <br /> Even if it took extreme measures, it would be worth it!<br /> <br /> As long as he got through this inspection smoothly, he could use his position to suppress any issues that arose afterward.<br /> <br /> "Fine, I got it."<br /> <br /> Director Liu sent the nurse away, his expression darkening as he glanced at Su Yi and gritted his teeth.<br /> <br /> "You won't leave, is that it? Then don't blame me for throwing your daughter out!"<br /> <br /> In his desperation to keep his position, Director Liu let go of Su Yi's wrist and moved to pick up Su Xiaoxiao.<br /> <br /> "You fucking stop right there!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi's expression hardened, and before he could act, Song Renxin let out a roar of rage.<br /> <br /> The senior doctor, over sixty years old, rushed forward, grabbing Director Liu from behind.<br /> <br /> He yelled at Su Yi, "Mr. Su, go ahead with the acupuncture, I'll stop him!"<br /> <br /> "Thank you!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi nodded appreciatively, quickly focusing his mind, his hand flicking out the silver needle again.<br /> <br /> He concentrated intently, his hands fluttering like butterflies, continuously drawing out needles and piercing the air to hit the acupuncture points on his daughter.<br /> <br /> Fluid and graceful, achieving harmony in a single breath of work!<br /> <br /> Though it was his first time administering the needles in such a way, it appeared as if he had practiced countless times.<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face twisted in ugly frustration, struggling ceaselessly: "Song Renxin, are you fucking rebelling?!"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin cursed back, "You bastard! You bastard!! You bastard!!!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu was taken aback by the rebuke.<br /> <br /> Right then, a furious shout came from outside the door: "What the hell is going on here?!"<br /> <br /> "We can hear the lot of you cursing from the hallway, what kind of behavior is this?!"<br /> <br /> Hearing this, Director Liu shivered and dared not struggle anymore.<br /> <br /> Song Renxin also released him without delay, hastily turning his attention to Su Yi.<br /> <br /> "Mr. Su, is everything going smoothly?"<br /> <br /> "Hmm."<br /> <br /> Su Yi nodded without saying much else.<br /> <br /> The treatment was already underway, and he couldn't afford any distractions that might cause complications.<br /> <br /> He continued his actions without pause, administering more midair acupuncture.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, two men, both over sixty, entered from outside.<br /> <br /> It was the Hospital President and Professor Li.<br /> <br /> As they entered, ready to scold, their eyes caught sight of Su Yi's movements.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, they both trembled.<br /> <br /> "Is this… needle throwing?!"<br /> <br /> The director was utterly shocked, unable to believe his eyes, and subconsciously glanced at Professor Li beside him.<br /> <br /> Professor Li was the honorary dean of the Medical Academy, and could be regarded as one of the medical community's authoritative figures.<br /> <br /> He stared intently at Su Yi and said in a deep voice, "Indeed, it is needle throwing!"<br /> <br /> "However… these movements as smooth as flowing clouds and water, the effortless flick of the wrist, I have never seen before!"<br /> <br /> "This is definitely a Grandmaster of medicine!"<br /> <br /> How could this be?!<br /> <br /> One stone stirred up a thousand ripples.<br /> <br /> The whole room was in an uproar.<br /> <br /> No one expected Professor Li's evaluation of Su Yi to be so high!<br /> <br /> A Grandmaster of medicine!<br /> <br /> Throughout the entire country, those who could bear this title were no more than a handful!<br /> <br /> Even Professor Li himself fell just short of the mark!<br /> <br /> Director Liu couldn't help but tremble, his forehead bead with cold sweat as it soaked through his clothes.<br /> <br /> Seeing this, Song Renxin sneered, "Director Liu, why are you so nervous?"<br /> <br /> "I... I, why would I be nervous?"<br /> <br /> Director Liu argued stiffly, but his words lacked conviction.<br /> <br /> Song Renxin feigned curiosity, "Wasn't it you just now who wanted to stop Mister Su, this Grandmaster of medicine, from administering the needle to save someone?"<br /> <br /> He emphasized the word "Grandmaster" particularly heavily.<br /> <br /> "You you… You're talking nonsense!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu argued vehemently, his face flushed and his neck thickening.<br /> <br /> Their exchange naturally didn't escape the ears of the director and Professor Li.<br /> <br /> "Right, I haven't asked yet, what exactly happened just now?"<br /> <br /> The director said with a grim expression.<br /> <br /> In front of a Grandmaster of medicine, people in his hospital actually came to blows.<br /> <br /> This was truly a disgrace!<br /> <br /> Professor Li looked at Director Liu, his brows deeply furrowed: "I heard... you wanted to stop this Grandmaster from saving a life?"<br /> <br /> His words were not harsh, but they made Director Liu sweat profusely, his expression one of panic.<br /> <br /> This man was the honorary dean of the Medical Academy, whose word alone could determine the life or death of his directorship.<br /> <br /> "It was… it was like this…"<br /> <br /> "Right, it was this little girl patient, her cerebral nerve tumor had worsened to the point where even surgery couldn't save her."<br /> <br /> "But this patient's family member insisted on administering the needle himself. He's not a doctor, so of course I couldn't let him do it."<br /> <br /> Director Liu's tone was frantic, but at least it seemed he had found a somewhat decent excuse.<br /> <br /> He sighed in relief as if a great burden had been lifted, wiping the sweat from his forehead.<br /> <br /> Song Renxin sneered, "Director Liu, we really shouldn't lie with our eyes wide open."<br /> <br /> "Since you won't tell the truth, then I'll just have to lay it all out."<br /> <br /> Director Liu shuddered all over, shouting out loud to interrupt, "Song Renxin, you're just trying to slander me maliciously!"<br /> <br /> "Fine, you say I am slandering you, so I won't speak anymore. However, don't forget, Mister Su is still in the ward!"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin sneered coldly and truly said nothing more.<br /> <br /> Director Liu's heart trembled, uneasy and unsettled, casting glances at Su Yi from time to time.<br /> <br /> He wondered how he was going to deal with what was to come.<br /> <br /> The director and Professor Li looked at each other and nodded in agreement.<br /> <br /> Well then, they would delve into this matter after the treatment was finished.<br /> <br /> Once again, they turned their attention to Su Yi.<br /> <br /> The director let out a sigh, "It's a pity, this Grandmaster of medicine does not belong to our hospital!"<br /> <br /> Professor Li chuckled, "True talents are hidden among the common folk, the greatest figures are the most unassuming. Perhaps Mister Su comes from an old master."<br /> <br /> At this moment, the treatment had reached its most critical stage.<br /> <br /> Su Yi's hands moved faster and faster.<br /> <br /> In the end, they blurred into afterimages!<br /> <br /> One needle after another was thrown precisely, and just as many were pulled out, to be inserted into other acupoints.<br /> <br /> Dazzling to behold, impossible to follow closely.<br /> <br /> Faintly, there was a mysterious significance contained within.<br /> <br /> Song Renxin watched Su Yi intently, as if he had realized something, yet he always lacked that final bit.<br /> <br /> The director felt the same way.<br /> <br /> As for Professor Li, with a deeper understanding of medicine, he could appreciate the subtleties even more, his eyes growing increasingly shocked.<br /> <br /> Only Director Liu was anxious and restless, completely at a loss.<br /> <br /> Finally!<br /> <br /> Su Yi's last needle fell!<br /> <br /> The astonishment in Professor Li's eyes had reached an indescribable extreme; he couldn't help but exclaim aloud.<br /> <br /> "One needle decides life and death!"<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> A single needle decides life and death!<br /> <br /> Everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.<br /> <br /> From these five words alone, one could sense the dominance they contained!<br /> <br /> The dean hurriedly asked, "Old Li, what is 'a single needle decides life and death'?"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin also looked at Professor Li with a puzzled expression.<br /> <br /> Professor Li spoke solemnly, "I once saw a type of acupuncture technique in an ancient text, which claimed to 'revive the dead and mend bones.'<br /> <br /> "That acupuncture technique is called 'deciding life and death'!"<br /> <br /> "I observed that Mr. Su's technique just now is exactly the same as what was recorded in the ancient text."<br /> <br /> "And the final needle in 'deciding life and death' is called 'a single needle decides life and death'!"<br /> <br /> "Life and death are not determined by the King of Hell, not by the judge, but by the person who administers the needle!"<br /> <br /> Boom!<br /> <br /> Thunder from a clear sky!<br /> <br /> Everyone's face was filled with disbelief, their minds buzzing.<br /> <br /> Could there really be such a miraculous acupuncture technique in this world?<br /> <br /> If there is...<br /> <br /> Would that still be considered medical skill?<br /> <br /> It's practically magic!<br /> <br /> Professor Li took in their expressions and sighed, "I have only come across descriptions of 'deciding life and death' in the ancient texts."<br /> <br /> "As for whether this medical technique truly exists, I cannot give you an answer."<br /> <br /> Song Renxin's gaze flickered.<br /> <br /> For some reason, he had an inexplicable trust in Su Yi.<br /> <br /> He said in a deep voice, "Ms. Su's condition has deteriorated to the extreme, and with the current level of medical science, it is impossible to cure her."<br /> <br /> "If... she is cured this time, would it be evidence of this acupuncture technique?"<br /> <br /> The dean said sternly, "If her condition is truly as you described, and if Mr. Su can cure her, then of course it will be proven!"<br /> <br /> Professor Li didn't speak, but his eyes were ablaze as he watched Su Yi.<br /> <br /> If given the chance...<br /> <br /> He really wanted to follow Su Yi and properly learn from him.<br /> <br /> Even if 'deciding life and death' were false, the skill of performing acupuncture in midair was genuinely real.<br /> <br /> Sigh...<br /> <br /> At that moment, Su Yi also took a long breath.<br /> <br /> Sweat beads covered his forehead.<br /> <br /> After all, it was his first time treating someone, and the patient was his daughter; it was inevitably taxing and nerve-wracking.<br /> <br /> Thankfully, everything went smoothly.<br /> <br /> Song Renxin asked with concern, "Mr. Su, how is it now?"<br /> <br /> "Thank you for your concern, Dr. Song, she is cured now,"<br /> <br /> Su Yi said with a smile.<br /> <br /> Just as these words fell,<br /> <br /> On the sickbed, Su Xiaoxiao's eyelashes trembled a few times, and she slowly opened her eyelids.<br /> <br /> Her dark eyes were briefly vacant, then turned into surprise.<br /> <br /> "Daddy, I can see now!"<br /> <br /> She rubbed her eyes numerous times, her tender voice bursting with joy.<br /> <br /> Those around who witnessed this scene were utterly shocked.<br /> <br /> "A miracle, this is completely a miracle!"<br /> <br /> "Truly 'a single needle decides life and death,' only this legendary method could have such an immediate effect!"<br /> <br /> "To think that in my lifetime, I'd actually witness a miracle that would go down in medical history!"<br /> <br /> Amazement and admiration were endless.<br /> <br /> Aside from Director Liu, everyone was extremely excited.<br /> <br /> But the most excited was Su Yi.<br /> <br /> He picked up his daughter from the sickbed, feeling her small body in his arms, and couldn't help but cry tears of joy, unable to utter a word.<br /> <br /> His daughter lifted her small face, wiping his cheeks with her tiny hands, looking somewhat guilty, "Daddy, don't cry... Did it cost a lot of money to treat Xiao Xiao?"<br /> <br /> "It's all Xiao Xiao's fault, I'm so stupid, I couldn't bear the pain after only three days."<br /> <br /> Hearing this, Su Yi's heart ached, and tears streamed from his eyes.<br /> <br /> Due to family circumstances, his daughter had always been sensible, so sensible that it was heartbreaking!<br /> <br /> Su Yi held her tighter, his voice choked with emotion, "Daddy is just so happy, it's not Xiao Xiao's fault, it's Daddy who hasn't done well."<br /> <br /> "Daddy swears, I will definitely give you and Mommy a good life in the future!"<br /> <br /> This promise was not just an emotional vow, but a commitment he intended to keep for life!<br /> <br /> "Mm, Xiao Xiao believes in Daddy!"<br /> <br /> His daughter nodded firmly, her little face resolute.<br /> <br /> This scene moved everyone in the ward as well.<br /> <br /> Su Yi wiped away his tears and, holding his daughter, turned to Song Renxin, "Xiao Xiao, this is Dr. Song; you should call him Grandpa. It's all thanks to his help that you were cured, so be sure to thank Grandpa Song."<br /> <br /> Su Xiaoxiao said in her clear voice, "Thank you, Grandpa Song."<br /> <br /> Song Renxin's heart nearly melted, responding repeatedly, "Eh, such a good, sensible child.<br /> <br /> "But you must not thank me; it was your daddy who cured you."<br /> <br /> Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao's eyes brimmed with pride, and she stood taller.<br /> <br /> Daddy is really amazing!<br /> <br /> Su Yi sincerely said, "Dr. Song, it was all because of you that I had the chance to save my daughter; this thanks, you fully deserve."<br /> <br /> "If it weren't for you..."<br /> <br /> As he spoke, he looked towards Director Liu, a cold light in his eyes, "This director who wields great authority would probably have thrown my daughter out!"<br /> <br /> What?!<br /> <br /> Director Liu was going to throw out a patient?!!<br /> <br /> The dean and Professor Li were both shaken, turning their heads toward Director Liu with a fiery gaze.<br /> <br /> "Liu, explain yourself right now!!"<br /> <br /> "I... I... I didn't."<br /> <br /> Director Liu sweated profusely, stammering.<br /> <br /> Song Renxin saw this and immediately sneered, "You didn't say anything just now and wouldn't let me speak, but now that Mr. Su has said it himself, you still won't admit it!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu trembled all over, restless and uneasy.<br /> <br /> He could admit to anything else, but this matter was the only one he couldn't!<br /> <br /> Ignoring the lives of patients is a grave taboo in a hospital!<br /> <br /> Especially in front of the dean and Professor Li!<br /> <br /> Once he admitted it, he would be finished!<br /> <br /> "You, you, you... you're talking nonsense! I never thought about throwing the patient out, you're just spewing slander!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face was ablaze with fury, roaring repeatedly.<br /> <br /> To those unaware, it would seem as though he suffered a great injustice.<br /> <br /> But everyone present had ample experience and could see that he was blustering to cover his fragility, utterly lacking in confidence.<br /> <br /> The dean and Professor Li's faces were somber, as if they were about to drip water.<br /> <br /> They could never have imagined that there were such twists and turns involved!<br /> <br /> Especially the dean, who trembled with rage.<br /> <br /> This incident occurred in his hospital, an utter smear on his professional record!<br /> <br /> Slap!<br /> <br /> He strode forward and delivered a powerful slap, bellowing angrily.<br /> <br /> "You dare to argue?!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu staggered, his half of his face swelling up.<br /> <br /> But he dared not admit it, repeatedly saying, "I'm not arguing, Dean, you have a discerning eye, I really didn't..."<br /> <br /> Slap!<br /> <br /> Another harsh slap!<br /> <br /> This time, it was Professor Li who struck.<br /> <br /> With clenched teeth, he said, "Even now, you refuse to repent. Then explain to us, when we came in, Dr. Song was holding you, how do you explain that?!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face turned deathly white, and he collapsed onto the floor.<br /> <br /> Indeed, how could he explain?<br /> <br /> There was no explanation!<br /> <br /> The dean turned to Su Yi, respectfully bowed, "Mr. Su, our hospital has nurtured such a scum, and I am willing to accept any punishment!"<br /> <br /> "This matter is unrelated to the hospital, but he must pay the price for what he has done!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi's face was cold.<br /> <br /> "Thank you, Mr. Su, for your understanding."<br /> <br /> The dean sincerely expressed his gratitude, then turned to stare at Director Liu and said indifferently, "From now on, you are no longer part of our hospital!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face was ashen, begging for mercy, "Dean, I know I was wrong, please give me another chance!"<br /> <br /> The dean remained unmoved.<br /> <br /> Professor Li added coldly, "As the honorary dean of the Medical College, I declare that from now on, you are blacklisted in the medical industry. If any hospital or clinic dares to employ you, I will shut it down directly!"<br /> <br /> That statement had an even greater impact!<br /> <br /> Thump.<br /> <br /> Director Liu's legs gave out, and he kneeled on the ground, crying profusely, repeatedly kowtowing.<br /> <br /> "Professor Li, I was wrong, I really know my mistake."<br /> <br /> "I am willing to leave the hospital, please don't ban me from the entire industry!"<br /> <br /> "There should always be a way out for a person."<br /> <br /> Both elderly men remained silent with stern faces.<br /> <br /> After pondering for a moment, Su Yi said indifferently, "Dean, Professor, I think that Dr. Song is qualified for the position of director."<br /> <br /> "Right, right, I think so too!" the dean immediately nodded in agreement: "Dr. Song has a compassionate heart, and he's also a senior member of our hospital, he is definitely qualified."<br /> <br /> Professor Li also nodded in agreement: "With the director position vacant, Dr. Song is indeed the perfect choice."<br /> <br /> Song Renxin felt a tremor in his body, his whole person became excited.<br /> <br /> Director Liu was like a petrified chicken.<br /> <br /> They had chosen his replacement right in front of him.<br /> <br /> Now he was truly finished.<br /> <br /> There was no turning back!<br /> <br /> And all of this was brought upon himself!<br /> <br /> Su Yi didn't even glance at him as he said to the others, "Dr. Song, Dean, Professor, my daughter is better now, and I will take my leave. I'll come back another day to repay Dr. Song the money he advanced. I hope I won't still see certain disagreeable person then."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Su, rest assured, I will have security throw him out immediately!"<br /> <br /> The dean said repeatedly.<br /> <br /> He immediately went to the door and called several security guards who dragged away the ashen-faced Director Liu.<br /> <br /> And Su Yi also left.<br /> <br /> In his arms, his daughter looked thrilled, "Daddy, you're so amazing, the doctors all listen to you!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi said proudly, "That's right, haven't you seen whose daughter you are?"<br /> <br /> His daughter proudly exclaimed, "My daddy is the best!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi ruffled her little head, "When we get home, daddy can also cure mommy."<br /> <br /> Upon hearing this, a bright light burst forth in his daughter's eyes, "Really? Mommy can be cured too?"<br /> <br /> "Yes!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi nodded emphatically, his tone affirmative.<br /> <br /> "That's great, mommy can be cured too!"<br /> <br /> Overjoyed, his daughter leaned on Su Yi's shoulder, her arms wide open in excitement, as if she wanted the entire world to know.<br /> <br /> A tender warmth filled Su Yi's heart.<br /> <br /> Daughter, wife, we will definitely have a happy and perfect family!<br /> <br /> When Su Yi arrived back at the apartment complex, the tenderness in his heart turned icy in an instant.<br /> <br /> He saw a Maybach at the entrance of the complex.<br /> <br /> It was Chen Mingjun's car!<br /> <br /> This low-grade community couldn't possibly have anything to do with Chen Mingjun.<br /> <br /> His being here could only have one purpose—<br /> <br /> Lin Xinran!<br /> <br /> "Damn it! Chen Mingjun, you beast!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi's eyes were filled with rage, he cursed under his breath, and rushed towards his home at the fastest speed.<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> Seeing the bodyguard standing at the entrance of the building, Su Yi's mind exploded with a "bang".<br /> <br /> Shit! These people were ultimately targeting Lin Xinran!<br /> <br /> In his urgency, Su Yi still decided to leave his daughter at his friend's house downstairs first.<br /> <br /> He knocked on the door of his friend's house and, under Ye Yueluo's puzzled gaze, handed his daughter over to her.<br /> <br /> There was no time for lengthy explanations. Su Yi instructed tersely, "It's urgent, please watch Xiao Xiao for me, don't come out."<br /> <br /> "Xiao Xiao, listen to your sister Yueluo. Daddy will be back soon."<br /> <br /> After saying these words, Su Yi dashed off as fast as he could.<br /> <br /> Just as he entered the hallway, two bodyguards leaned to the side, blocking the entrance.<br /> <br /> "Chen Family business, outsiders step back."<br /> <br /> Hearing this, Su Yi's eyes also turned cold.<br /> <br /> "Chen Family? It's your Chen Family people I'm here to beat!"<br /> <br /> The bodyguard was furious. Who dared to disregard the Chen Family? Take them down first!<br /> <br /> Several bodyguards charged straight at him.<br /> <br /> Su Yi let out a cold laugh.<br /> <br /> Facing the hands trying to grab him, he neither dodged nor avoided, meeting them with a casual hand.<br /> <br /> At the moment their hands touched, Su Yi's hand twisted bizarrely, sliding past the bodyguard's wrist.<br /> <br /> With a gentle twist at the base of the palm!<br /> <br /> A "crack" was heard, and the bodyguard, propelled by inertia, fell to the ground.<br /> <br /> The bodyguard who took the fall tried to get up, only to start rolling on the ground in pain.<br /> <br /> That hand was clearly broken! The entire wrist was grotesquely bent backwards.<br /> <br /> The remaining bodyguard couldn't stop his momentum and was deftly dodged by Su Yi.<br /> <br /> A casual tap on the arm, a pull and a snap, he too was rolling on the ground.<br /> <br /> Any further attackers were easily handled with a few light strokes, all laid out clean and neat.<br /> <br /> Having dealt with the underlings, Su Yi rushed forward.<br /> <br /> Picking locks and sliding doors open in one smooth motion.<br /> <br /> Upon entering, even with his strong composure, Su Yi's eyes instantly filled with blood.<br /> <br /> The room had already been ravaged by these jackals, debris scattered and broken everywhere.<br /> <br /> In the center of the living room, a rope ran through someone's hands, hanging what turned out to be Lin Xinran who had been dragged out of bed!<br /> <br /> Lin Xinran's clothes were half-undone, while Chen Mingjun was touching her long jade legs with a sleazy expression on his face!<br /> <br /> "True to be counted as one of the past beauties of Yancheng, but even now being paralyzed, there is a different kind of pleasure in playing with her!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi roared in anger, wishing he could tear Chen Mingjun to pieces on the spot!<br /> <br /> "Beast!!!"<br /> <br /> Startled by the noise, Chen Mingjun jumped and quickly turned around.<br /> <br /> Seeing Su Yi's fierce face, Chen Mingjun clearly panicked.<br /> <br /> "You? How did you get up here? Weren't your legs broken??" Chen Mingjun asked in disbelief.<br /> <br /> He had struck with killing intent, breaking bones, how could he walk again?!<br /> <br /> Even with their newly developed miracle drug, one would need to lie down for at least a month; how could a lively Su Yi suddenly appear?<br /> <br /> It was unbelievable!<br /> <br /> "Yeah, but grandpa here is tough, I can take it."<br /> <br /> Words came from Su Yi's teeth, one by one, filled with rage.<br /> <br /> Suppressing the fury in his heart, Su Yi spoke while moving forward.<br /> <br /> With a false bravado, Chen Mingjun warned, "I'm warning you, don't come any closer, my men are just downstairs!""<br /> <br /> Su Yi replied coldly, "Heh heh heh, today you won't be able to call anyone, let's settle both new and old scores."<br /> <br /> Watching such a furiously mad Su Yi, Chen Mingjun finally panicked, cursing inwardly, "These useless fools! Can't even stop one person!"<br /> <br /> But his body moved bit by bit towards the window ledge; as long as he had a chance to call out, he refused to believe a cripple could turn things upside down!<br /> <br /> In Chen Mingjun's territory, no one had been able to touch him!<br /> <br /> Realizing this, Chen Mingjun became arrogant again.<br /> <br /> "Bodyguards, come up! Dammit, I have to kill him today!"<br /> <br /> A moment of silence...<br /> <br /> "Bodyguards! Bodyguards!! Dammit, where are they?"<br /> <br /> Seeing no response, Chen Mingjun leaned out of the window to look.<br /> <br /> It was bad enough to look, but the men lay sprawled on the ground in disarray!<br /> <br /> None able to stand up!<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun panicked in an instant.<br /> <br /> "How is this possible!!!"<br /> <br /> Turning back to see Su Yi, he couldn't help but feel a chill and his body went limp.<br /> <br /> How had Su Yi, who not long ago had broken legs and was barely breathing, suddenly become so fierce?!<br /> <br /> It was too weird!<br /> <br /> At this moment, Chen Mingjun was both shocked and scared, scrambling to get beside Lin Xinran.<br /> <br /> "Don't come any closer, I have your wife!"<br /> <br /> Things had been okay until this was mentioned.<br /> <br /> Su Yi instantly flew into a rage!<br /> <br /> In that instant, a streak of black glimmer ripped through the air!<br /> <br /> It was a tiny silver needle!<br /> <br /> Whoosh!<br /> <br /> It slipped into Chen Mingjun's knuckle with exquisite precision.<br /> <br /> In an instant, Chen Mingjun froze in place, a piercing pain shooting from the tip of his finger into his brain.<br /> <br /> "Ahh—"<br /> <br /> Accompanied by a scream, Chen Mingjun fell to the ground and rolled in agony.<br /> <br /> He tried to pull out the needle, but the area around the puncture felt ablaze.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun screamed in horror, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror as he looked at Su Yi.<br /> <br /> Su Yi didn't bother watching Chen Mingjun whimper like a beaten dog on the ground; with a silver needle, he snapped the hemp rope tied around Lin Xinran's hands.<br /> <br /> He lifted Lin Xinran down, hooked a broken wheelchair out from the mess on the ground with the tip of his foot, and gently placed Lin Xinran on it.<br /> <br /> Su Yi's slender fingers rested on Lin Xinran's wrist, carefully feeling for her pulse.<br /> <br /> Thankfully, she wasn't seriously harmed! Su Yi finally let out a breath of relief.<br /> <br /> When he looked back at Chen Mingjun, his eyes turned fiercely sharp.<br /> <br /> "You, don't come closer!" Chen Mingjun struggled to his feet, enduring the severe pain. He couldn't hide the fear in his eyes, and he took two steps back abruptly.<br /> <br /> "I'm warning you, this is a society governed by laws! Don't you dare do anything rash, I've called the police!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi's chilly gaze swept over Chen Mingjun's face, and he took a deep breath.<br /> <br /> In the past, he had lacked the ability, but now, he had awakened his family's legacy.<br /> <br /> It was time to strike back!<br /> <br /> Su Yi's hands flipped, and his eerie finger techniques touched Chen Mingjun's body, paralyzing him immediately.<br /> <br /> "Slap—"<br /> <br /> A crisp slap landed on Chen Mingjun's cheek, inflaming half of his face instantly.<br /> <br /> "You... You dare to hit me!"<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun was shocked and furious. Since when did the powerless Su Yi have so many tricks up his sleeve?!<br /> <br /> Moreover, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?!<br /> <br /> But he couldn't afford to think more. Seeing Su Yi's hand coming towards him, Chen Mingjun's pupils constricted.<br /> <br /> "You, you can't do this! I can give you money!! Spare me! I'll pay for your wife and daughter's treatments!!"<br /> <br /> At the mention of his wife and daughter, Su Yi's face turned colder.<br /> <br /> Su Yi pinched Chen Mingjun's wrist and started twisting it inch by inch.<br /> <br /> As the sound of bones cracking "crack crack" filled the air, Chen Mingjun's whole body started shaking.<br /> <br /> "Ahhhh—"<br /> <br /> Heart-wrenching screams echoed in the hallway for a long time.<br /> <br /> He looked at Su Yi in terror, his eyeballs nearly bursting from their sockets!<br /> <br /> "No! Noooooo—"<br /> <br /> "This needle is to make sure you can bear it."<br /> <br /> With a cold smile, Su Yi flicked his hand, and a silver needle punctured the nerve in Chen Mingjun's scapula.<br /> <br /> More prolonged screams followed.<br /> <br /> The immense pain, mixed with fear, distorted Chen Mingjun's face, but because it hit a specific nerve, he couldn't faint from the pain!<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun's hand was twisted, forced into an eerie angle!<br /> <br /> "You've been committing crimes for so long; it's time you paid a price!"<br /> <br /> "What, what are you going to do to me!"<br /> <br /> Looking coldly at the grotesque but lucid Chen Mingjun, Su Yi took out another needle.<br /> <br /> "No! Please, spare me!! I won't dare do it again! I'll give back all the shares, please, no!"<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun's hair stood on end, his voice altered.<br /> <br /> "Please, just let me go, and I'll do anything you ask, whatever you want, I can give it to you, please!"<br /> <br /> "You'll do anything? What you will have to do isn't that much."<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun saw a glimmer of hope and said tremblingly, "Anything at all, just command me, I'll certainly make sure it's done!"<br /> <br /> "Then just enjoy this needle." Su Yi's indifferent words reached Chen Mingjun's ears, one by one.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun was a mixture of horror and fear.<br /> <br /> "No... No—!!!"<br /> <br /> "This needle is for Lin Xinran."<br /> <br /> With a cold smirk, Su Yi spoke slowly, appearing like a King of Hell emerging from the abyss!<br /> <br /> A needle went down.<br /> <br /> "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh—"<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun's miserable wailing resonated throughout the building.<br /> <br /> "Hehehe, you'll always be a eunuch now."<br /> ...
