Jaylen set aside the document which he was holding. Then, he started frowning at Matt. “And you are?”
Matt gulped subconsciously. He quickly put on an apologetic smile and said, “Hello, Jaylen. I’m Matt. I
was in the same batch as Jacob back in university.”
Jacob?
There was a sudden flash in Jaylen’s eyes.
For a moment, he fell silent. After that, he asked Matt in a nonchalant voice. “Why did you come to
me?”

Matt blinked in confusion.

him.
“I’m sorry. I need to get on with my documents. Please do not disturb me, if you don’t have anything
important to share.” Jaylen took a glance at him before turning his attention back to the documents.
Is… is he really still the proud young master from Mondez?
Matt was completely stunned.
He felt uncomfortable to be standing there amidst the silence. In the end, he had no choice but to leave
the room reluctantly. Matt was grinding his teeth as he made his way toward the door.
He wasn’t satisfied with the outcome of the conversation. When he reached the door, Matt turned his
head around and announced in a low voice, “Jacob has returned since two days ago.”
He was gone after throwing those words out in the open.

The clouds were cushioning against the tall blue sky.
On the vast open sea, a fleet of cargo vessels had just departed the Eastern sector. They were riding
the waves, sailing directly toward the Central Federation.
All of a sudden, on one of the horizons, a black dot was spotted. The dot grew larger with every minute.
Soon, the men realized they were looking at an armada of armed battleships.
The alarm was immediately sounded by one of the leading vessels.
Half an hour later, news about the encounter was transmitted to the Fest Residence in Paramount via
telegram.
“Unbelievable!” The outcry was accompanied by the breaking sound of teapots on the floor.
Inside the antiquated study room, the lingering smell of incense remained, but gone was the calmness
and tranquility of its owner.
“Look it up! Look it up right now!” Kennedy was furious. He was staring down at his eldest and second
eldest son. His hand was waving back and forth. “Three hundred thousand barrels of oil gone just like

Just as he was about to continue, the phone on the table started to ring. The second eldest son was
closest to the table, so he went over to pick up the phone. After a few exchanges, his eyes began to
widen.
“Dad…” Simon’s father slowly put down the phone. His face was darker than coal.
“Don’t keep me waiting! Tell me what’s wrong!” Kennedy shot him a glare.
It was half past three in the evening. At the entrance of Little Professor kindergarten, children were
rushing out of the gate like a flock of chickens. Jacob was leading his daughter out from the
kindergarten as well. He could easily be spotted from a mile away.
Standing near the gate was Moira and her handful of bags. All the other male parents were quietly
stealing glances at her. Moira on the other hand, was biting her tongue.
Hmph! I’m going to bring Heidi back today no matter what!
Heidi spotted her mom as soon as she set foot outside the gate. Her face turned into a grin. She called
