One week later.

Ada Wang’s century wedding with the CEO of an international luxury car brand proceeded as planned at the KS WORLD Hotel.

On this day, both domestic and international internet and social media were abuzz with this headline news..

The entire media in Medo went all out to cover the event, making it the talk of the town!

Online news headlines were creatively and enthusiastically written!

“Congratulations, KS WORLD! Secures Hosting Rights and Dominates Over Competitors!”

“KS WORLD in Sea Gate Scores a Big Win in Medo – The Old-Timer ‘Big Brother’ Sawle Group Faces Embarrassment!”

“Scandals Keep Surfacing Among Sawle Group Members – What Explains Such a Stark Contrast with the Top-tier Luxury Brands?”

KS WORLD Hotel’s popularity reached its peak on this day.

Netizens couldn’t help but praise Chloe, who had already unveiled her brilliant tactics. They couldn’t resist comparing her to the somewhat tarnished Skyler, highlighting Chloe’s radiant success.

Miss Thorp is clearly the victor in this game! Why would Skyler even think of challenging her? Delusional!”-

“To be honest, what’s Mr. Sawle’s business here? It’s evident that Skyler overstepped her bounds, and she suffered the consequences!”

“Skyler thought she delivered a fatal blow to Miss Thorp, but it turned out to be a hideous one! Hahaha!”

“It’s just too hideous! She actually gifted fake jewelry to an international superstar!”

“Don’t you get it? It’s called ‘spend wisely and lavishly when you should.’ It’s all about making a statement!”

“Even if she walks out of the police station unscathed now, her reputation is in tatters, and she’s the laughingstock!”

The now-disgraced Skyler, tormented by the public’s outrage and ridicule, even became bedridden due to a fit of rage.

Aubree, with a strong sense of competitiveness, had to temporarily put her ambitions aside. She now took care of her ailing daughter while plotting to regain Jake’s affection.

For this purpose, in her forties, she underwent cosmetic procedures and secretly bought a few sets of black lace lingerie. She also purchased some aphrodisiacs, preparing to employ her seductive techniques to captivate Jake as she did twenty years ago, making him infatuated with her again.

After all, the man who used to be so enamored with her hadn’t touched her in almost half a year.

Jake seemed to be avoiding her on purpose, hardly returning home throughout the week, and their interactions were scarce. He didn’t even spare her a second glance.

How could Aubree not feel resentment? How could she not feel the weight of it?

Chloe… It was all because of Chloe, that vile woman!

The humiliation she experienced today would be paid back to Chloe a thousandfold in the future!

But no matter how much Aubree resented, she couldn’t overshadow the glory of the victorious young lady.

This star-studded century wedding had showcased the influence of KS, Sea Gate’s top conglomerate, in Medo.

Not only that, the KS Group’s stocks surged on the day of the wedding, and everyone predicted that the stock price would hit the limit up at the opening bell the next morning.

But that was not all.

Once the wedding was revealed to the public, it triggered a nationwide phenomenon of discussion among netizens.

“Black Rose Flower Sea! Ada Wang’s wedding is so cool!”

“I don’t care, when I get married, I want my wedding arranged like this!”

“Tired of traditional weddings? KS WORLD’s plan deserves a perfect score!”

Joseph sat in his office, captivated by the live broadcast from Ada Wang’s wedding.

His lips curled slightly, and those usually cold, peach-blossom eyes now held warmth.

Originally, he had no interest in such events.

But he knew that Chloe had poured her heart into this wedding, which is why he was paying special attention to it

A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts, and Max entered with a large army-green nylon bag.

“Mr. Sawle, I’ve prepared all the mountaineering equipment you requested.”

“Good, thank you.”

“Why did you suddenly decide to go mountain climbing this year?” Max asked curiously.

“I go every year.” Joseph replied indifferently.

During his youth, to relieve psychological stress, he spent two months volunteering as a forest ranger in Redcaster Qileshan Forest Park during a summer break.

Life was simple back then, with daily routines consisting of eating, sleeping, and following Captain Cordell to climb mountains, assist hikers, and inspect safety hazards.

It was a rare and brief period of relaxation in his life.

After becoming a CEO, he made substantial annual donations to the park for forest conservation. However, apart from himself and Captain Cordell, no one knew about this.

“Mr. Sawle! Have you watched Ada Wang’s wedding? Wow! Mrs. Sawle is truly amazing!”

Max’s eyes sparkled, turning into an enthusiastic fan of Chloe. “The Black Roses! How did she come up with the idea to decorate the venue with black roses? And Ada Wang actually agreed!”

“Because she’s not an ordinary woman, she’s Chloe.”

Joseph’s deep black eyes curved slightly as he gently commented, “This little girl, she always has a way.”

Max’s eyes widened, and his mouth hung agape.

He couldn’t have heard correctly just now, could he?!

The big boss referred to Mrs. Sawle as… “little girl”?

The script had taken a sudden turn the iron-hearted had softened?

Due to Joseph and Rory’s intervention, Johan’s appointment as the head of Sawle Group’s legal department was a complete failure.

He had never experienced such a setback before, and he went to Europe to clear his mind for a week before returning home to the Stewart family.

As soon as he entered the house, Jordan, who had been waiting for him for a whole week, seized the

“Oh, isn’t this the loyal lapdog secretary of our Miss Thorp?”

Johan coldly appraised Jordan, “If you’re not serving our Miss, what are you back for?”

opportunity.

“Lawyer Stewart, don’t you have something to explain to me?” Jordan ignored his mockery and asked pointedly.

“Explain to you? Jordan, is this the way you talk to your big brother?” Johan had been holding back his anger for a long time and was finally about to erupt.

“Last time, it was Aubree, and now it’s Skyler. Lawyer Stewart, you’re truly a model employee in the industry, taking on all the dirty work.” Jordan clenched his fists, his voice laced with a cold sneer.

“Jordan!”

“I know you’re eager to bring honor to the Stewart family name, to reach great heights that people can look up to, but all of this shouldn’t come at the cost of betraying your principles!”

Jordan’s eyes were bloodshot as he roared, “If it weren’t for the Thorp family, we wouldn’t be where we are today! You’re aiding the Sawle Group against our Miss, you’re absolutely heartless, do you realize that?!”

“Heartless? Am I heartless? I’m doing it for this family!”

Johan’s anger and sense of injustice were apparent. He couldn’t see his own fault in this matter. “Should we serve the Thorp family forever just because they helped us once? There’s no logic in that!”

“If you’re willing to be a lapdog for Chloe, that’s your business. Both your elder brother and I have our ambitions. Don’t think we all want to live off someone else and dream of becoming a wealthy husband!”

Jordan finally couldn’t contain himself, he clenched his fists and struck Johan’s cheek!

This was the first time in his twenty-eight years of life that he had resorted to physical violence against his own elder brother.

Once, his elder brother had been a source of pride for him.

But now, he only felt shame.

Johan’s anger flared up in response, and he retaliated with a punch!

The two brothers were soon locked in a brawl in the living room, terrifying the household staff.

But Johan was no match for Jordan, who was a black belt in Tackwondo, and Jordan quickly pinned his elder brother down and started aggressively rubbing his face on the floor.

“Jordan! Stop it!”

Just at that moment, Stewart family’s parents and their younger son, Jevon, walked down the stairs. Seeing the chaos, they were taken aback.

Jevon was the first to react. He rushed forward and pulled Jordan, who had red, furious eyes, off his elder brother, embracing him from behind.

“Jordan! Have you gone mad? How could you lay hands on your elder brother?!”

“Gone mad… he’s the one who’s gone mad!”

Johan, nursing his face, struggled to his feet. “All for that Thorp family’s girl… I’m afraid he’s turning into an ungrateful

monster!”

“It’s not me turning into a monster… it’s you, Johan!” Jordan shouted with bloodshot eyes.

“That’s enough from both of you! Shut your mouths!” Jeremy embraced his wife, positioning himself between the two brothers. His presence exuded an oppressive aura.

Mrs. Stewart, who had never witnessed her children behaving this

way, was distressed and at a loss.

“Jordan, I’ve heard about what your older brother did for the Sawle Group. Don’t blame him. He’s just doing his job as a lawyer.” Jevon tried to mediate, afraid that a wrong word would reignite their fight.

“I’m staying somewhere else tonight.”

Jordan stated, his eyes red with anger, not even trying to apologize.

“Jordan! Where are you going?” Mrs. Stewart cried out with concern.

“Heh… Where else can I go? I need to attend to the young lady.” Johan replied bitterly.

Johan had never experienced such humiliation, and with no one else present, he spoke harshly to provoke his younger brother even further, “I wonder if the young lady from the Thorp family can sleep well without Johan by her side.”

“You bastard! I won’t allow you to insult the young lady like that!”

Jordan’s fists clenched audibly as rage coursed through him.

If it weren’t for Jevon restraining him, he’d have attacked his older brother once more.

“Johan! You are not allowed to speak disrespectfully of the young lady!”

Jeremy couldn’t stand it anymore, he stormed up, standing between his two sons, exerting invisible pressure on both of them. “Tonight, neither of you is permitted to leave the house. Both of you, go stand in my study.”

“And you, Jevon, fetch the ruler. We will uphold our family’s discipline.”

Johan, Jordan!

With a reluctant look, Jevon nodded and said, “Yes, Dad.”

Mrs. Stewart wanted to persuade them, but her husband was the head of the household, and ‘she had never been able to change his mind. All she could do was sigh and lament silently.

“Jordan, did you initiate the fight?” Jeremy, with knitted brows and stern eyes, asked solemnly.

“Yes, Dad.”

“Apologize to your older brother right now.”

Jordan was still gripping his fists tightly, his blood boiling, and he had not let go of his anger from earlier. “Dad, I’m willing to accept punishment for what I did earlier. But I will never apologize to him.”

“If he dares to disrespect the young lady in the future, he speaks once, and I’ll strike him once, until he learns his lesson!” “Jordan!” Johan was about to explode from his younger brother’s incomprehensible actions.

Jeremy hadn’t expected his usually well-behaved youngest son to have such an intense reaction over Chloe. Now, he felt a sense of melancholy in his heart.

Just then, the butler rushed in and reported, “Mr. Stewart, Director Thorp’s secretary has arrived!”

Hearing that Stefan’s representative had come, they were surprised and quickly put their family matters aside.

With a friendly smile, Secretary Jared entered the room, his eyes quickly catching the tense atmosphere.

Seeing that the two young masters had visible injuries, he understood the situation. But without saying anything about it, he got straight to the point, “Mr. Stewart, Director Thorp invites your family to the Tong Garden for dinner. He hopes that you can grace the occasion.”

“It’s been a long time since he last saw your two sons, and since your family is in Sea Gate, he’d like to catch up.”

“Understood. Please tell Director Thorp that we’ll be there on time.” Jeremy politely responded, his composure restored.

After seeing off Secretary Jared, the atmosphere in the household remained somber.

“I won’t go.”

Johan firmly refused. He turned and said through gritted teeth, “I just came back from abroad, and I’m exhausted. I need

some rest.”

“No, you can’t!”

Jeremy retorted. “How dare you challenge Director Thorp’s invitation? Even if you have a disability, you must replace a way to go to the Thorp family!”
