CHAPTERS 521 - 525
CHAPTER 521 YOU'VE PAID BACK
A freighter from Jiangbei sea area to State A sailed to brave winds and
waves and hurriedly sailed to the other direction.
At the innermost side of the freighter, there was a small room where
the crew rest. The room was not big, and it was full of sundries, which
made it even more crowded.
If two big men walk in the room, they can't even turn around. It can be
imagined how small the room is.
At this time, the room was full of potion smell and on the ground, there
were a lot of blood-stained medical gauzes.
Mr. Paul stood in front of the bed where only one person could lie
down, stared at the big boy on the bed, and said angrily, "See what you
look like? You still want to go back. Do you want to go back and die
there?"
Lucas's abdomen was bound with gauze, and the wound has been
treated, but he was still very weak. It seemed as if he wants to utter a
word he would have to use all his strength.
He has put forward his own request. He didn't need to pay attention to
Aaron Paul.
Mr. Paul didn't get a reply and became angrier, "my young master, if
you don't think about your own life, at least you should think about the
first lady. She just has one son. If something happened to you, what she
will do? If I hadn't followed those people in time, if I hadn't saved you
fortuitously, you would have been one of the dead."
The relationship between Mr. Paul and Lucas was the relationship
between superiors and subordinates, as well as the relationship
between friends. So, when one of them was angry, they never behaved
politely
Lucas closed his eyes and still stayed silent.
Mr. Paul added, "You said that Janell Carter saved your life, and you
have already returned one to her. What else do you want? Do you have to
die in front of her to return her kindness?"
"I said I want to accompany her to see her grow up." Lucas opened his
mouth and said, word by word, weakly but firmly.
Want to accompany Janell to grow up slowly. That was the promise
that he had made to Janell personally. He was still alive and he wanted
to fulfill the promise.
Hearing this, Mr. Paul punched the wall angrily and roared, "You
remember what you said to a child, but you forgot the promise you made
to your mother? Are you going to let her face it all alone? She is your real
mother, do you have the heart?"
Lucas, "..."
He has promised his mother that when his father retires, he would try
his best to win the presidency and never let his mother down.
However, he almost forgot!
Because of a little child, he forgot his commitment to his mother and
forgot how heavy the burden he has on his shoulders.
Maybe it's not that because of Janell he has forgotten the burden on
his shoulders, but that he actually wants to hide to live the life he really
wants and stays away from the place where people only do conspiracies,
kill for power and struggle to have authority.
But Aaron Paul reminded him that he is not alone. He has his own
helpless mother and the responsibility he should take. He has no right to
be willful.
Seeing that Lucas's facial expressions changed, Aaron Paul continued,
"Janell Carter is just a four-year-old child. What does a child understand?
You are not around her, and she will just feel bore because she needs
playmates. Her parents can find many people to play with her. If she
doesn't see you, she will forget you soon. When she grows up, she may
not even remember that there was such a character as you in her life."
Mr. Paul continued, "Young master, Janell Carter doesn't have you
around her. But there are many people around her and love her. Please
think about your mother, who she has besides you? After your birth, she
placed all her hopes on you. Do you really plan not to go back and let her
face it all alone?
Lucas listened to Aaron Paul and closed his eyes again, but this time it
was different from the first two times. During the first two times, he was
stubborn and didn't want to pay attention to Aaron Paul.
However, this time, it was a compromise!
He also has his responsibilities, and someone needs him. He can't do
what he wants to do willfully. He has to break his promise to Janell and
go back to the land that belongs to him.
He took a cold breath, put his palm on his heart, and silently said in his
heart, “Janell, brother Lucas has to leave. If fate allows, I will see you
again!"
He decided to go back to the land that belongs to him and do what he
should do.
As for Janell, perhaps... He will meet her if their lives are destined to
meet!
"A bunch of losers." Mr. Tyrion grabbed the papers on his desk and
threw them on his subordinate's face, shouting angrily.
His subordinates touched the smashed head and said timidly,
"President Tyrion, that man, Edwin Carter is stronger than we thought.
Besides, Victor James also came..."
Mr. Tyrion glanced angrily and shouted, "Get the hell out of here!"
People under him have been working with him for many years. They
almost understood his temperament. They heard him yelling like this,
turned around and left.
When his people do things, Mr. Tyrion always asked for the results, not
the process, let alone the reasons and excuses.
In Mr. Tyrion's case, there were only two outcomes: success and
failure.
Success-after success no matter how dirty the means you use, you
are the winner. You can stand high, look down on your enemies, and
trample them under your feet.
Failure-no matter why you failed, without any reason, you will only be
trampled on by your enemies mercilessly.
He has spent so much effort, so much money, so many resources, and
so many years to plan out a perfect plan for Edwin Carter to jump into
the hole he dug.
His plan was that as long as Edwin Carter steps on the uninhabited
island, he will take his life on that island. No matter how he won't let
Edwin Carter leave alive.
He had designed a perfect plan, but his people didn't do it well, which
made Edwin Carter came back safe and sound.
Not only did Edwin Carter come back alive, but the people who went
to catch Edwin Carter's daughter also had no news, as if they had
evaporated out of the world.
Thinking that he was defeated so badly, Mr. Tyrion took a hard breath
and he was vigorous and angry.
If his plan has succeeded, no one would be able to stop him. Edwin
Carter and Shengtian would disappear. When people talk about Edwin
Carter and Shengtian group again, it has become just a memory. It can
only be said that Edwin Carter and Shengtian in those days were all
things of the past
If Shengtian had disappeared, who else can stop him?
He was confident that it wouldn't take long for the Tyrion group to
replace Shengtian. He and the Tyrion group he founded will become a
new legend in the business world and a new topic for people to talk in
their leisure time.
And he wants to let Sophie Ronan know that he has never been worse
than Christopher Greyson or Edwin Carter. If she is his woman, she will
But his plan failed. It was a complete failure...
CHAPTER 522 BREAK YOUR WINGS
Victor James has found that it was he who was playing tricks behind
their back. His identity has been exposed. In the future, he will not only
have to deal with Edwin Carter but also Victor James.
Edwin Carter was enough to let him face the worst consequences.
Now, coupled with a Victor James, how will he manage to deal with it?
With these thoughts, Mr. Tyrion stroked the forehead that was aching
badly, angrily smashed the teacups on the table, and scolded, "All of
them are useless!"
"You know they are useless. Then why are you angry with a group of
useless people?" Sophie Ronan pushed the door in, put the teacup on
Mr. Tyrion's desk, and said, "Chrysanthemum wolfberry tea, it clears the
liver, enhanced eyesight, and help to decrease internal heat. I prepared it
especially for you."
"Sophie Ronan-" Mr. Tyrion grabbed Sophie Ronan, pressed her on
the desk and said, "You are nothing more than a whore. Why are you so
fucking arrogant in front of me?"
"President Tyrion, your belly is extremely roaring with fire. I brought this
tea to lower the fire." Sophie Ronan looked at him and said without any
delay. She didn't pay attention to Mr. Tyrion's attitude, nor did she get
angry because he scolded her.
She was very clear with the fact that what kind of person she is and
she also knew that Tyrion despised her from the bottom of his heart.
But what if?
They are just partners. What does it matter if he looks down upon her?
She wanted to live a good life. She needed money to make her life
better. Tyrion can help her. So, she stayed with him. That's all.
"Sophie Ronan!" Mr. Tyrion stared at her and said her name with
gnashing teeth, "don't think that I can't deal with you."
"Ah...." Sophie Ronan sneered, still calmly looked at Mr. Tyrion, and said,
"Mr. Tyrion, according to you what does it mean to deal with me?"
"You... You know it better."
"Is it just that you never slept with me? Ha ha..." Sophie Ronan laughed,
and the expressions on her facial appearance were touching.
Sometimes she felt very grateful to Christopher Greyson, because
of him she has had those terrible experiences. Several times, Tyrion
wanted to touch her, but he stopped in time.
A long time ago, she already recognized Mr. Tyrion's true face. If Tyrion
had not given her some psychological hints, maybe she would not have
killed someone.
At that time, if Tyrion hadn't been playing tricks behind the scenes,
she would have killed in self-defense at most and wouldn't have been
charged with murder. She was also put into a mental hospital, and the
charges have not been cleared up till now.
All the tricks that Mr. Tyrion has played behind her back, Sophie Ronan
kept them firmly in her mind and never forgot them.
"Bitch, your wings are hard, aren't they?" Mr. Tyrion glared at Sophie
Ronan and held her waist with his big hands. "Keep one thing in mind
that no matter how hard your wings are, I can break your wings at any
time if I want to."
"I know." Sophie Ronan nodded and laughed, as if she only thought that
Tyrion was joking with her, not seriously.
Sophie Ronan's indifferent attitude made Mr. Tyrion angry.
The more indifferent she was, the more he could not help. He felt as if
he was running after her, and she never looked back at him.
He glared at her, unconsciously increased the strength of his hand, and
said in a cold voice, "Sophie Ronan, you know what I want. Then, why
can't you be a little smarter?"
If she flattered him and made him happy, she wouldn't have to suffer
like this. This woman knew all about it, but she just played against him.
Of course, Sophie Ronan understood what Mr. Tyrion wanted, but she
didn't want to give that to him.
In the past, for Christopher Greyson, she played the role of an obedient
little woman. She did everything just to please him and lived a life
without dignity.
In the end, Christopher Greyson not only destroyed her face but also
gave her to others to use her like an object... How could she repeat all
her past experiences?
"President Tyrion, it's not good to drink a cold tea." Sophie Ronan
hooked her lips and said such words softly.
"You fucking want to die!" Mr. Tyrion was completely enraged by
Sophie Ronan's indifference. He raised his hand and slapped it hard on
her face.
As he did it, a few finger marks appeared on Sophie Ronan's face. Her
face was swollen, and there was blood on the corner of her mouth. It
can be seen how much Mr. Tyrion hated her at the moment.
Sophie Ronan pushed Mr. Tyrion aside, touched her swollen face, and
quickly raised her hand to give him a slap back on his face.
But when her hand was in the air, Mr. Tyrion seized it. With a sneer, he
said, "you will never know who you really are."
"I've told you for a long time, who the fuck dares to bully me again, I'll
double it back." Sophie Ronan tried hard to withdraw her hand, but she
couldn't.
Mr. Tyrion tightly grasped Jane's wrist and said, "Sophie Ronan, don't
forget, everything about you is in my hand. I can let you come out of the
mental hospital, and I can destroy you at any time."
Sophie Ronan smiled and said, "thank you for your warning. I got it."
Yes, she wanted to live. Moreover, she wanted to live well.
Tyrion was very clear about this, so he grabbed her weakest point and
let her stay by his side.
Mr. Tyrion pulled her into his arms, bowed his head, and kissed her
fiercely. He let her go when they could hardly breathe.
He touched her head and said in a cold voice, "Sophie Ronan, whether
you are willing or not, we are both on the same boat. If the boat turns
over, no one can survive."
All the illegal activities he has done, he has pulled Sophie Ronan
together and involved her. If anything happened, neither of them could
run.
Sophie Ronan knew that he wanted to firmly control everything and tie
her to him so that she can't do anything to him behind his back.
She almost died several times and finally managed to survive.
She cherished her life, so she can't disagree with him and can't look on
with folded arms.
Today, she came to him with a plan in her mind, but before she could
say anything serious he taught her a lesson.
Sophie Ronan arranged her long, curly hair, and said slowly, "Mr. Tyrion,
you have a trump card in your hand. This "trump card" can help you do
many things you want to do but couldn't do. You didn't know how to
make good use of such a trump card, and you even let him go."
Listen to Sophie Ronan saying so, Mr. Tyrion instantly understood and
excitedly said, "The trump card you mean is George Michael?"
"Who else can it be?" Sophie Ronan cleared her throat and continued,
"It's not because your plan was perfect that Edwin Carter jumped into
the pit you dug. Actually it all happened because the key figure in the
plan is real. It is because of him and the information he provides that
Edwin Carter believed it so easily."
CHAPTER 523 FAR AWAY
Mr. Tyrion also admitted that George Michael played a crucial role in the
success of his plan, but he also knew that George Michael could not
help him deal with his son-in-law, Edwin Carter.
Sophie Ronan had been with Mr. Tyrion for several years, so Sophie
Ronan probably knew what kind of personality he had.
At this time, just by looking into his eyes, she could probably guess
what he was worried about.
Sophie Ronan looked at him and said, "He didn't help you in this
incident that led Edwin Carter to the island. But you also can make use
of him to let Edwin Carter go to that island. In the same way, As long as
he is still alive, as long as he doesn't want to show up and recognize his
daughter, he will be proved the most useful tool for us to deal with Edwin
Carter."
Mr. Tyrion raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you mean that I should get
him back?"
Sophie Ronan shook her head, "no, you don't need to find him back.
Just know his whereabouts, but don't contact him. Just by doing these
two things you can ensure that Edwin Carter and Victor James's people
won't find him."
After listening to Sophie Ronan's words, Mr. Tyrion's eyes showed
appreciation. He was right. Sophie Ronan really had a sharp mind.
A few years ago, Mr. Tyrion inadvertently found that George Michael
was still alive, so he gave George Michael a "helping hand" and said that
he will help him to take revenge. But in fact, he always just wanted to
use George Michael against Edwin Carter.
In recent years, many things that George Michael had done in secret,
such as the dungeon under Carter's villa and so on, were provided the
economic support by Mr. Tyrion.
Without money, many things can't be done. What does George Michael
who doesn't even have identity can do?
As for how George Michael got into the Jiangbei military region and
killed the fake grandmaster of the Carter family, George Michael didn't
even tell him, and Mr. Tyrion also didn't insist.
It was also because of Mr. Tyrion's help that George Michael caught
Angela Carter who was the child of the enemy's family to revenge so
smoothly.
But in the end, George Michael was still soft-hearted and let Angela
Carter live.
With all these thoughts in the mind, Mr. Tyrion sneered. George
Michael let Angela Carter live, that is to say, he dug his own grave. Victor
James will find him and kill him.
For the sake of Jane, Edwin Carter will surely try his best to protect
George Michael; for the sake of Angela Carter, Victor James will certainly
spare no effort to find the murderer.
This matter will lead Edwin Carter and Victor James to stand at
the opposite point, and the conflict between them will be the most
interesting to see.
It has been raining for the last two days. The weather was not so good,
as if there were dark clouds over the Carter family.
……...
Janell's fever lasted for several days.
She has been injected continuously and took medicines. Her situation
has been fluctuating, and she couldn't get better.
Mother Carter was worried and distressed. The medicines didn't work
and she was also a little superstitious. In the early morning, she took
Angela Carter to a temple in Jiangbei City, to pray for Janell's health.
It can also be a coincidence that just the next day Janell's fever went
away. The situation got better and her pale face gradually turned pink.
Although Janell's face was not as good-looking as it looked in the past,
it was much better. Seeing Janell recovering gradually, everyone was
happy.
The fever finally subsided and Janell woke up. At this time, while lying
on the bed, she was rolling her black eyes, watching the people who
were visiting her bed one by one.
"Dad..." she saw all of them and called her father first. It can be seen
that her father's position in her heart was the most important.
"Janell." Edwin Carter took Janell up and gently rubbed her head.
"Janell tell Dad, is there anything uncomfortable?"
Janell shook her head, blinked her big eyes, and looked at Angela
Carter, "Janell wants auntie to hold her."
Angela Carter was surprised to hear Janell saying that she wants to
hug her. She happily held Janell and said softly, "honey, what do you
want to eat? Tell your auntie and I cook for you."
Janell nestled in her auntie's arms and said softly, "Janell wants to eat
strawberries."
"Okay, auntie is going to make a lot of strawberries pudding for you
right now." Angela Carter returned Janell to Edwin Carter, turned around,
and ran to the kitchen.
Janell quietly nestled in her father's arms, no longer mentioned who
she wants to hold.
On the other side, Jane's hands that were stretched out was quietly
retracted back
At ordinary times, Jane didn't feel Janell's strangeness to her. Only in
the critical moment, she can see who is the most important person in
Janell's heart was.
In these years, when she was not around her, it was Angela Carter who
accompanied her, like her mother, and it was natural for her to be close
to her auntie.
Jane comforted herself by saying this silently in her heart.
"Janell, mom wants to hold you, will you let her hold you?" Edwin Carter
saw Jane's disappointed eyes and wanted to give her daughter to her,
but he has to ask for his daughter's consent.
"Ok..." Janell nodded, there was no rejection and no excitement.
Even though Janell was not excited, but Jane was very excited. She
held Janell and kissed her face, "Baby..."
She had a lot of things to say to the little baby, but she didn't know
what to say to the little baby. Janell was in her arms, and she didn't want
to say more to her.
"Mom, Janell wants to grow up quickly. Grow tall in a few days." After a
long silence, Janell raised her head from her arms and said excitedly.
Not only this, but she also opened her hands and stretched them to
show the hope that she could grow as tall as her mother. She wished
she could grow up quickly, just like when she woke up again she was
grown, so that Lucas would come back to her.
"Well, our baby will grow up soon." Jane rubbed her little head, and her
heart ached.
Janell still remembered what Jane said to her, Lucas will come back
to her when she grows up. That's why she wanted to grow up quickly so
that she can see him.
"Janell, Grandpa, and grandma are here. Come on, say hello to
Grandpa and grandma." Edwin Carter once again diverted his daughter's
attention.
Father Carter and Mother Carter had long wanted to hug Janell, but
seeing that the little guy was too weak, they watched anxiously, and no
one came forward.
"Grandpa, grandma..." Janell smiled and called them softly.
"My child!" As soon as Mother Carter heard Janell's voice, she felt too
emotional and tears rolled down again.
"Janell baby, you should get better quickly, otherwise grandma will be
very sad." While talking to his granddaughter, Father Carter also wiped
tears of his tearful wife.
"Grandma, be obedient. Don't cry, don't cry!" Janell just in the way
of adults comforted her grandmother in her soft tone of voice. At the
moment mother Carter was amused and laughed.
"See, my little granddaughter is so smart. She made grandma laugh in
a second." Father Carter said with a smile.
Everyone had a good chat. They all seemed happy...but, didn't know
why, Jane wasn't happy.
CHAPTER 524 ESTRANGEMENT
Janell was in her arms. She was holding her tightly, but she felt that
Janell was far away from her.
It seemed that no matter how hard she tries, she can't become the
most important person in Janell's heart.
She and Lucas came to Janell's life almost at the same time. Why
Lucas easily became one of the most important people in her life, but
she couldn't?
Is it because of her identity as her mother?
If she has accompanied Janell as an auntie or any other identity and
hadn't snatched the position of Janell's mother, can Janell accept her
easily?
Maybe, Janell didn't dislike her, but she thought that she had robbed
Janell's mother's position, so there is a kind of estrangement between
them that can't be removed.
Just when Jane was thinking, Angela Carter came back with a bowl of
strawberry pudding, "Baby, auntie has made it for you. Taste it."
"Yes." Janell heavily nodded her small head, and she smiled like a
flower, "thank you, auntie!"
Janell pounced into Angela Carter's from Jane's arms.
Jane's hands were empty, so was her heart!
In Janell's heart, her auntie is really much more important than this
mother?
When will Janell really accept her as a mother?
Just when Jane was down, Edwin Carter suddenly took her hand and
bowed his head to smile at her.
Edwin Carter didn't say anything, but Jane could read the meaning that
was passed to her in his eyes. He wanted to tell her that they will work
together to untie the knot in Janell's heart.
In such a little time when Jane and Edwin Carter had eye contact,
Janell vomited
"Janell, what happened?" Angela Carter asked anxiously.
Jane shook off Edwin Carter's hand and rushed to Janell's side, "Janell,
tell me what happened?"
"Janell..."
Everyone rushed to Janell's side and all of them were very nervous.
Janell had a high fever for a few days. All of the required nutrition was
delivered by drips. She didn't eat for several days, and suddenly she had
strawberry pudding, which was hard to digest and she vomited.
A large number of people were just happy and forgot about such an
important and common thing. Now, Edwin Carter was the first to react.
"Janell's fever has just subsided. The doctor said that she should eat
some light food, preferably porridge and liquid food."
Edwin Carter said so, and a large number of people got busy in and out,
busy preparing porridge for Janell.
Janell just vomited and at this time, she was lying on the bed pale and
weak. She didn't want to eat. Whoever spoke to her, she just shook her
head.
Jane touched her head and asked softly, "Janell, how about a little
white porridge?"
"Janell don't want to eat! I will vomit again!" Janell shook her head. She
didn't want to eat at all. She was worried about vomiting like just now.
Jane smiled softly, "Janell, your illness is better but we can't eat
strawberry pudding. Let's have porridge, and we'll be cured. Shall we
take a sip?"
She saw her mother's enthusiasm and really can't refuse her anymore.
She opened her mouth and took a sip. There was no taste. She couldn't
help but frown and didn't want to take the second sip.
"Janell, we need to eat more to get better soon. Only after getting
better, you can grow up quickly." Janell rubbed Janell's head and
persuaded her patiently.
"Janell will eat!" Suddenly she heard her mother saying that after
eating porridge she can grow up quickly. Even though it wasn't tasty,
even though she didn't like it, she tried hard to eat.
Because after growing up she will see Lucas, in order to see Lucas as
soon as possible, she must strive to grow up.
When Jane scooped up the porridge again and fed her, Janell opened
her mouth and took a big sip. She swallowed it quickly and opened her
mouth again.
If it goes on like this, she can really grow up.
If Lucas sees that she was trying so hard to grow up quickly just in
order to see him as soon as possible, Lucas would not have left her so
easily, without even saying goodbye to her.
It wasn't that he didn't want to say goodbye to Janell.
Actually, he knew that if he sees Janell again, if he listens to Janell's
soft voice calling his name again and if he looks into Janell's big eyes
again, he would not be able to leave Janell.
"Janell, eat slowly. It's not good to eat too fast." Jane's heart ached for
her daughter, but she didn't know how to help her.
"Mom, Janell still want to eat." After eating a bowl of porridge, Janell's
stomach was round, but she wanted to eat more to grow faster, so she
still has to eat.
Jane smiled and touched her round stomach, "Janell has eaten
enough. If you eat too much, you will get sick again. This way you can't
grow up quickly."
"..."
Janell just couldn't understand.
She won't grow up faster if she eats less, and she won't grow up faster
if she eats more! Then how will she grow up quickly?
The world of adults is so troublesome. If she didn't want to see Lucas
after growing up fast, she never tried to grow up quickly.
After two days of precautionary measures and a healthy diet, Janell's
situation was finally stable.
The Carter Family, who didn't have a good rest for several days, had
dinner early, and then went back to their rooms to have a good rest for
the night.
After seeing Janell, Edwin Carter went back to his study and began to
work.
Recently, he had delayed too much work, and many things were
waiting for him to deal with. He may not be free until midnight.
Jane accompanied Janell. She had not gone anywhere. She had been
observing her situation and just worried about her. She was sitting
beside Janell. After nearly an hour, Janell fell asleep, and she was
relieved.
She pulled up the quilt to cover Janell and went to Edwin Carter's
study
Today, she planned to have a good talk with Edwin Carter.
Seeing her coming, Edwin Carter put down his work, patted on his
thigh, and said, "Sit here."
Jane did not refuse. She went to his side and sat down, looking up at
him slightly, "Edwin Carter, I want to talk something with you."
Edwin Carter asked, "Well. Tell me, what do you want to talk about?"
"I want to talk about the people who are troubling us, Janell, and
Lucas." There were a lot of things to talk about. There were things that
Jane can think of for the time being and many things that she can't think
of for the time being.
"I'll deal with those who troubled us. Don't worry." Edwin Carter looked
down, kissed her face, and said, "You... always take a lot of stress. Don't
you know that if you will take this much stress you will grow old fast?"
"Edwin Carter..." Jane stared at Edwin Carter. She really wanted to
punch him twice. Why did he behave like this again?
