That moment, Iris had no doubt become the brightest star in the venue. The Zea family below the stage were thrilled. Even Jorge’s hands were trembling with excitement. “I never knew Iris could come up with such a masterpiece.” “Yeah! It’s too stunning. Iris is too awesome!” “First place! Iris’s design has gotten first place! That means our Zea Group will be heading toward success!” Lilian turned to look at Winifred contemptuously and mocked, “Iris was right. Previously, our Zea Group couldn’t grow our business because Winifred, your designs, were rubbish. Winifred Zea, you were the obstacle to our family’s road to success. Thankfully you’ve left our family now. Otherwise, our family would’ve been ruined by you.” It was hard to imagine that this was something an aunt would say to her niece. Iris had now assimilated Winifred’s relatives, and the whole family became as nasty as her. Winifred felt numb. She had never dreamed that Iris would be the one to steal her design. How c
Winifred stood up and said loudly, “Mr. Mikhael, this design is not complete. It still lacks one final step!” After she had said this, the whole venue was staring at Winifred with confusion in their eyes. Even Tyr was shocked! Mikhael was startled. “Miss Winifred, what do you mean?” Winifred walked over to the stage. “Mr. Mikhael, this piece is not called ‘Green Phoenix,’ but ‘Autumn Field’. This design did not come from Iris Zea. I designed this, and Iris Zea has stolen my design!” The earth shattered, and thunder rolled in the skies! No one had anticipated such shocking news to crop up at the last moment of this competition! In an instant, everyone’s eyes were focused on Winifred. All the media cameras also pointed at Winifred. “Winifred Zea, what nonsense are you spouting? Who has stolen your design? This design belongs to me, Iris Zea. And what do you mean ‘Autumn Field’? It’s such a dull name. Even if you’re trying to slander me, can’t you do some homework before comin
Mikhael and Allen were holding their heads in their hands in great excitement. “Miss Winifred, Master Allen and I fully believe that you made this design. Because only its true creator can describe its soul.” “No, Mikhael, you’re wrong. It’s not like that.” Iris had completely lost it. She never imagined something like this would happen. She had gone mad and was now yelling and screaming on stage. “This design is called ‘Green Phoenix’, not that bullsh*t ‘Autumn Field’. It’s my design, and Winifred’s only taking advantage of it by spouting nonsense. You guys can’t simply decide and judge on your own. I’m the champion of this competition. I’m the ‘Green Phoenix’s owner!” At this point, Iris was still trying to argue. However, at that moment, two policemen led Yara Campbell over to them. “Miss Iris, you don’t have to explain anymore. I’ve come clean!” Iris looked at Yara, confused, and subconsciously said, “Yara Campbell, you… why have you come back?” “Miss Iris, my conscience
Everything Joseph said had hit home. He was right. This was what the Zea family was here for. But even if they had fallen into such a state, this group of people still thought they had power over Winifred. Them and what army? Joseph’s words made Jorge and his group flush red. However, these people still had no intention of repenting. “Winifred Zea, get out here! If my Iris ends up in jail, I won’t forgive you!” Lily was anxious. From the day since the police caught Iris, she had never gotten a good night’s sleep. “Stop barking here.” Joseph’s expression darkened, as well. “Leave immediately. Autumn Field does not welcome you! To even have the audacity to get some business from us! Dream on!” Jackson stepped up, reluctant to give in. “Fourth Uncle, you’re not the boss of Autumn Field Group. Get Winifred out here to see us. I refuse to believe that she would dare disobey us.” Joseph snorted. “Now, I really am the boss of Autumn Field.” “What?” Jorge and his group were stunned
Tyr stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and laughed. “No wonder Mother-in-law is so aggressive. So it’s something to do with her family. Dad, you were bullied a lot when you stayed with the Cole family, weren’t you?” Jacob let out a bitter smile and said, “I’ve already gotten used to it.” “Hehe.” Tyr patted Jacob on his shoulder. “Your son-in-law is not some studious weakling. I’m very strong!” By then, the ferry had gotten close to Riverville City’s pier. From afar, the sturdy city of Riverville came into view. Just then, at the parking lot of the dock, a tough man with a strong build and chiseled face by the name of Stephen Cole was waiting. He was especially here to receive Winifred’s family and had been waiting here for some time. Beside him was a tattooed man with a buzz cut waiting with him. The sun was high up in the sky, and the air was getting hot. Sweat had started to form on Buzzcut’s forehead. “Brother Stephen, isn’t your cousin sister’s family here yet? Look
Tyr did not care if Stephen really hired these men. Their appearance had frightened Blair, and Tyr disliked having his little girl scared by anyone. Besides, what Buzzcut said to tease Winifred earlier had struck a nerve in Tyr. Tyr was ready to take action, and once he did, the other party might lose a limb or two. What was so bad about a fully functional body? Why did they have to rush to their deaths this way? “Something’s not right…” However, just as Tyr was about to deal with Buzzcut and his group, Tyr suddenly felt a strong murderous intent toward his elder brother’s prowess! This feeling was like being targeted by a lethally vicious and venomous snake. “A gun!” As the master of the overseas region, Rayne’s Regal Palace, Tyr had experienced countless bloody battles and had scraped by death over a hundred times to get where he was today. Outside the country, dozens of influential figures wanted Tyr’s life. Hence, Tyr was immensely sensitive to the dangers around him to
A person’s aura can never be faked. Only a truly powerful figure would be able to emit a strong aura. When Tyr said those words, his whole being was emitting an extremely pressuring aura. To the point that even a dignified Valiant General of the Summers family like Perry would feel shocked. The man was startled. He assumed that Tyr would still be a piece of trash who would cry and beg for mercy after being chased out of the Summers family’s house ten years ago. He never thought that Tyr would have such a huge change in the short span of a few years. However, the shock only lasted an instant. Soon after, Perry reverted to normal. “Although I have no idea what you’ve experienced in these ten years, I have to say, you’ve truly grown up. But you’ve only just grown up.” Perry stubbed out the cigarette in his hand. “I have to admit that among the five Valiant Generals of the Summers family, I fear death the most. But Tyr, I don’t believe you’ll be able to handle me. You’re the third
Tyr was stunned. He never thought Winifred would think that way. Did women not prefer their men to be heroes? “To be frank, I don’t like this temperament of my maternal grandparent’s family. They’re all like balls of flame, wanting to settle everything with their fists. It’s already the twenty-first century, and it’s been twenty years, they’re still acting like sailors. This is a lawful society. Getting the police when something happens is the correct thing to do. So, Tyr, I think you’ve done the right thing.” “Is that so?” Tyr was wearing a smile, but he felt helpless and bitter on the inside. It seemed like his wife was still too pure. They went into a supermarket to buy some supplements and cosmetics for Winifred’s grandmother, aunts, and uncles. After that, they got some other presents. Once they were done shopping, the two were ready to get a cab to the Cole House. However, they just happened to pass by a jade store, and coincidentally, Winifred’s grandmother loved jade
