After saying that, he left.“Dad!” Riley wanted to go after him.“Riley, ignore him. He’s as stubborn as a mule.” Laura stopped her and gave a cold chuckle. “I have no idea why your dad is so nice to a country bumpkin. He’s treating Chase like he's his own son!“Alright, enough of that. Let’s eat.”After Laura said that, they sat down.Edward could not wait to open the expensive bottle of Splendor Liquor from 1979. After opening it, he poured a glass for everyone.“Here, let’s have a taste of this 13-million-dollar liquor.”Laura did not usually drink, but today, she had a few sips. While feeling intoxicated, she said, “Edward, it’s all thanks to you that I can have a taste of such good liquor.”“Yeah, Edward. With just this small glass, I'll be able to boast to my friends for an entire year!" Raymond gushed with a grin.When Edward heard the praise from all around him, he felt great and started to feel arrogant.“Edward, that country bumpkin said we’ll regret this. Hahaha! H

“Alright!”Tiger grinned and quickly called the cashier over. “Calculate how much they spent.”After the cashier was done ringing up the items, he said, “Tiger, they spent a total of 14.26 million.”When the group heard this, they felt weak in their knees and almost passed out.14.26 million?Who could afford that?“Are you going to pay by credit card or check?” Tiger asked with a smile.Edward smiled bitterly. “W-We have no money...”“No money?” Tiger’s face turned cold as he said with a wave, “Okay, then. According to the rules here, if you can’t afford to pay, you can pay with your hands.”In an instant, several tall and strong men walked in with axes in their hands. They looked very unkind.Raymond and Anna had never seen such a scene before, and they were so frightened that they fell to the ground.“No, don’t cut off my hand!”“Edward, save us!”Even Riley and Laura were frightened, their eyes full of fear.“Hold on.”Edward stopped him hastily. “Tiger, right? I thi

The moment Tiger saw Chase come in, his attitude immediately changed. He quickly stepped forward and lowered his head in greeting. “Tiger, can you let them go for my sake?” Chase said with a smile.“Mr. Collins, you’re too polite. Since you’ve said the word, of course, I’ll let them go.” Tiger smiled politely and waved to his subordinates.Just like this, everyone left Imperial Restaurant, feeling as if it was all a dream.On the way back, Laura finally could not hold herself back anymore. She asked, “Um, Chase, w-why are they so respectful to you?”As soon as she asked this, everyone—including Riley and Edward—immediately looked at Chase.Even Henry was no exception.After knowing what happened just now, he was also shocked. Fortunately, those people finally let them go for Chase’s sake.Riley bit her lip and looked at Chase with confusion.Under everyone's stare, Chase merely shrugged and said bluntly, “Because their boss, Sam, is my subordinate.”Everyone fell silent righ

“How is this possible? Isn't my dad suffering from a heart disease?” Evelyn said in surprise.“Heart disease?” Elijah frowned. After that, he sneered. “Have you managed to cure it over the years, then? With today’s medical standards, even implanting an artificial heart is not a problem, let alone curing a heart disease.”Evelyn was speechless for a moment.“With all due respect, Mr. Benson is not suffering from a heart disease but an extremely rare and strange disease that I have never seen before.”Elijah shook his head and said, “Please go back. There's nothing I can do.”Evelyn burst into tears. “Dr. Strickland, I’m begging you. Please examine my dad again. I believe you can find a way.”“Forget it, Evie. I know my illness well. Maybe this is fate,” Sherman said, sounding as if he had accepted this outcome. After all, if even the famous Elijah Strickland could not do anything, no one else could.Elijah looked at the pair of father and daughter and suddenly said, “Maybe ther

Chase turned around and walked away, saying indifferently, “Wrong, it’s 100 billion!”“What?”Evelyn was startled and thought she had heard wrongly. When she came back to her senses and wanted to curse, she found that Chase had disappeared.She could only squat on the ground and wail in despair.Sherman came out to console her, “Sweetheart, I’ve already accepted my fate.”“Ms. Benson, may I be so bold to say that you're too self-righteous and arrogant." Elijah, who also followed him out, spoke in a cold tone.“You think that because Benson Group runs a big business, you can pressure others with your power and lure them with gains. However, that's a big mistake.“For a person like my master, wealth and power are nothing to him. He doesn't even care about the entirety of South River, let alone Benson Group.“You used the worst method, which is tantamount to sentencing your father to death!”Elijah’s merciless words completely destroyed Evelyn’s pride.She burst into tears and s
