Jonathan Wang was a young man from distant lands who ventured to the city of San Francisco to forge his own destiny. After years of ceaseless toil and dedication, he successfully established a business empire valued in the multi-millions of dollars. Following his triumphant rise, he united in matrimony with one Orla William. Before long, however, his brother-in-law, Harding William, conspired to enact a most unsavory plot involving Adela Kyle - the youngest heiress of a wealthy family. Yet, rather than act upon his own malevolent intentions, he administered an aphrodisiac, leading Jonathan to share the bed with Adela unwittingly. Consequently, Jonathan was wrongfully sentenced to over six and a half years of incarceration on charges of rape. Upon his release, he discovered a truth that cut him to the quick: his child had been sold to the Thomas family by Orla, his wife, who harbored intentions of betrothing another man. This time, emerging from the cold confines of the prison, Jonathan returned with an unshakeable resolve to reclaim what was his and bring the William family to heel, along with the Thomas family, and indeed any house that dared oppose him. For he was now the reigning lord of Top-Sky House: the most formidable alliance in all spheres of commerce, military, and healthcare. He stood unchallenged at the helm, a titan fearing no one!
Prison No. 1 - Southwest Direction.
Jonathan Wang, clad in an aged coat, stood outside the iron gate, peering up at the sky with a hint of desolation in his eyes, squinting slightly. His wife's words from the past echoed in his ears.
"I only have one little brother, who is still too naive. If you expose him, resulting in his imprisonment, it'll be the end of his life. Jonathan Wang, as things have escalated, please take all the blame. Once you've served a few years in jail, we can live together again!"
Six years ago, at a social gathering, his brother-in-law drugged a young woman, intending to violate her.
However, when they got her into the room and started undressing her, he discovered she was not just any girl but the daughter of a prominent family in Elite Summit. He was so terrified that he lost all control.
If he were to violate her, there would undoubtedly be serious consequences.
But the drugged girl was not in her senses, her body burning with heat, indicating that the drug had taken full effect.
If she did not engage in sexual intercourse, her nervous system could be damaged.
Caught in a dire situation, his brother-in-law drugged an oblivious Jonathan, causing him to have sex with the girl, turning Jonathan into the fall guy for the incident!
When his wife found out, instead of helping clear her husband's name, she used the baby in her womb to threaten him, demanding that her husband, Jonathan, confess to all the wrongdoings.
If he didn't comply, she threatened to abort the baby. For the sake of the unborn child, Jonathan agreed to plead guilty.
Ultimately, he bore all the charges alone and was sentenced to six and a half years for rape.
Meanwhile, his brother-in-law enjoyed his freedom. Today was Jonathan's out prison day.
However, little did he expect that having sacrificed his reputation and freedom for his brother-in-law, his wife, Orla William, would not meet him upon his release!
She may need to be more relaxed with work and simply required to remember to. Thinking this, Jonathan trudged alone, backpack slung over his shoulder, onto the main road.
Just then, a taxi pulled up on the opposite side, and a modestly dressed young man quickly disembarked and ran over.
"Hey, man!"
Hearing this voice, Jonathan froze for a moment before realizing who it was, his good friend before his incarceration - Tommy.
However, Tommy's cheap streetwear was shockingly unlike him.
Before his prison sentence, Jonathan had looked after Tommy, getting him a job in his company, where he drove an Audi A6.
How could he have fallen so far?
"Tommy..."
Tommy's face fell as his joy of reunion faded. He dropped to his knees, sobbing pitifully.
"Bro, I failed you! I couldn't protect your company, let alone Carla... Bro, I'm a wretch. I'm useless..."
As he wailed, he repeatedly struck his face.
"Stop hitting yourself. What happened to Carla?"
After hearing the bad news about his daughter, Jonathan's heart blazed with a fiery worry.
Tommy choked out in a fury: "Bro, sister-in-law sold Carla to someone else!"
Jonathan was hit like lightning, disbelieving: "Why would Orla William do something like that?"
Carla was his daughter, but she was Orla's child, right?
But Jonathan could never have imagined the first news he heard after being released from prison was Orla selling their flesh-and-blood daughter.
"Brother, not long after you left, your wife sold the company to Edward Tremblay, and then she framed me for leaking company secrets, forcing me to pay a hefty indemnity to leave the company! Last year, Neala Thomas, the eldest daughter of the Thomas family, was diagnosed with leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant. Carla' marrow was a match, according to her hospital records. Your wife sold Carla to the Thomas family for fifty million dollars!"
Tommy kneeled on the ground, his eyes wide in fury as he recounted the tale.
Jonathan's mind spun, nearly losing his balance.
"You're saying what? Orla sold Carla to be someone's marrow donor?"
Doesn't that mean Carla' life would be ruined?
"Brother, Carla was too young last year, so her marrow wasn't sufficient. The Thomas family has been raising her since then, so it's okay. But today is the first marrow transplant! I managed to get news of it, and the operation will start at noon!"
Jonathan jolted up, hastily saying: "Which hospital? We need to get there immediately!"
Tommy quickly warned: "But brother, we can't afford to offend the Thomas family!"
Even though Jonathan was a freshly released convict, even the Jonathan of five years ago, the owner of a company with stocks worth tens of millions, would be like an egg against a rock in the face of the Thomas family!
Jonathan roared: "I wouldn't be afraid even if it were God. Which hospital?!"
"Elite Summit Hospital number 2!"
"Let's go!"
Once he got in the taxi, Jonathan's thoughts were a whirl, but he was beginning to regain some of his rationality.
He honestly didn't understand why Orla would do such a thing.
At sixteen, he had left the countryside to do business in the city, riding the entrepreneurial wave. After several years of running an architectural company, his fixed assets were millions. He even bought a mansion worth over ten million dollars.
These assets should have been enough to prevent Orla from worrying about lacking anything.
Why would she do such a thing?
Even a shred of humanity would prevent her from treating her daughter like that.
"Brother, sister-in-law isn't human anymore!"
Hearing Tommy's frustrated remark, Jonathan's voice turned icy: "She's not your sister-in-law!"
After speaking, he gave Tommy a look that sent shivers down his spine.
Suddenly, he felt a strange sensation from Jonathan he had never experienced before.
Jonathan's eyes glazed over: "Lend me your phone."
"Here, here you go!"
Tommy quickly fished his phone from his pocket and handed it to Jonathan.
Jonathan dialed a number from memory, and a deep, middle-aged voice answered: "Hello, who's this?"
"It's me!"
Jonathan's voice was low.
The person on the other end froze, and the voice trembled: "Young master, you're out of prison?"
"I didn't call you earlier because I wanted to reunite with my family first, but it's unnecessary now. The Thomas girl is about to have a marrow transplant, and my daughter is donating marrow to her. Get in touch with the Thomas family. If anything happens to my daughter, I'll slaughter them all!!!"
Having finished his words, he abruptly hung up.
Kill the entire Thomas family, a joke? Tommy was terrified to her very core.
Jonathan said slowly: "No need to ask too much. You'll know in time. If Orla has become so cruel as to disregard her flesh and blood, I will have to make her pay back everything she owes me!"
Incarcerated for five years, Jonathan is no longer the man he once was. The powerful Thomas family could only tremble in his presence!
At that moment, Tommy truly felt that the extraordinary aura Jonathan carried wasn't an illusion.
.....
Elite Summit's Second Hospital.
A crowd of men in vested suits and leather shoes had gathered outside the surgery room.
The one operated on today was the most pampered grandchild of the renowned Thomas family of Elite Summit, Neala Thomas.
An older man in old-fashioned clothes walked in. It was none other than Mr. Kane Thomas, a bigwig of Elite Summit!
"Father, what did Roger Jake of Rise & Shine Real Estate call you for?" At this moment, Devlin Thomas, the second son, walked up and inquired.
Mr. Thomas frowned: "Roger Jake asked us to cancel the marrow transplant for Neala from that girl, saying that the girl's father is a big shot who we can't afford to cross!"
"What...?"
Everyone was in a flutter of surprise.
Rise & Shine Real Estate held a significant position in Elite Summit, barely less influential than the Thomas family. It wasn't precisely the city's ruler but not far from it.
What's critical is the girl whom the Thomas family spent fifty million USD on buying, as Mr. Thomas mentioned, is the daughter of a significant figure they can't cross.
This...
"Father, we can't agree to this! If we don't use this girl's marrow, who else can save Neala?"
"That's right, father. Carla Wang's father is just a criminal being rehabilitated, not some big shot, right? I think Roger Jake is just trying to mess with us!"
"...."
The Thomas family was buzzing with conversation.
Kane Thomas nodded with a serious face: "Roger Jake may be shrewd, but he's not the only one in Elite Summit!"
"I'm not sure what Roger Jake's relationship with this girl is, but he genuinely wants to protect her. I agreed vaguely on the phone just now to buy time. We must proceed with the surgery immediately. By the time he arrives, it'll be too late!"
"Indeed, I'll ask the doctor to arrange the surgery immediately!" Kane's second son immediately chimed in.
Bang!
At that moment, the hospital doors swung open violently, and an angry voice roared as if coming from the underworld.
"I dare anyone to proceed with the surgery!"

"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself. He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate." "And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
