Chapter 5

Atop Fear Wild mountain, inside the mansion.

Carla curiously looked at the grand hall that resembled a royal palace, yet she was too timid to touch anything, afraid she might break something priceless.

"We'll be living here in the future. Do you like it, Carla?" Jonathan gently asked Carla.

Fear Wild Mansion was the most luxurious mansion in Elite Summit, developed by the real estate company Rise & Shine.

And this mansion on the peak was the most expensive in the city, never put up for sale, as Roger reserved it for Jonathan.

"I like it very much. But Dad, didn't you say you would take Carla to see Mom?" Carla still missed her mother greatly.

Jonathan's smile gradually faded, but he kept a pleasant face: "Carla, Mom is very busy. You can't see her right now. In three days, it'll be your sixth birthday. Mom will come to see you then, and she will bring a present for you too! Carla is about to be six years old. You understand everything now, right?"

Jonathan remembered Carla's birthday very well.

"Yes, Carla is perfect!" Carla nodded vigorously.

Jonathan smiled, saying: "Carla, Uncle Tommy will take you to the playroom. Your dad and Uncle Jake have things to discuss!"

"Yes, okay!"

Perhaps due to the unfamiliar environment, Carla was quiet but obediently ascended to the upper floor with Tommy.

After Carla left, Jonathan heaved a sigh of relief. At least he could cope the next two days without Carla looking for his mother.

He tiredly lifted his hand: “Give me a cigarette.”

Roger presented him with a cigarette and lit it for him.

He seemed to want to say something but held back.

Jonathan took several deep puffs of his cigarette: “Speak your mind.”

Roger finally spoke: “Young master, and I find it inhuman for Mrs. Wang to sell her daughter for fifty million dollars! I think Carla should know the truth then…!”

After saying this, Roger quickly shut his mouth to gauge his master’s reaction, fearful of retribution.

However, Jonathan bitterly laughed: “I understand what you’re saying. I’m just wondering how to tell Carla the truth. I don’t want to hurt the girl.”

The young master had considered everything, so Roger didn’t add more.

“Alright, I’ll handle this. You arrange for Carla to go to school. If I’m not here, you are responsible for her pick up, drop off, and care. I can’t trust a nanny!”

At this, Roger was nearly moved to tears.

He didn’t consider taking care of a child beneath him as a chairman of the Rise & Shine real estate company.

The young master entrusting him with Carla’s care was treating him like family!

He quickly reassured: “Young master, rest assured, and I will not let you down!”

“Mmm.”

Jonathan nodded slightly, stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, and suddenly said: “Right, Carla’s birthday is in three days. I haven’t been able to be with her on her birthday for years, and this time I want to throw her a grand birthday party! Which is the best hotel in Elite Summit now?”

“Way Heaven Hotel! I will book the top floor of the Way Heaven Hotel for you to celebrate Carla’s birthday!” Roger hastily guaranteed.

Way Heaven Hotel?

Jonathan pondered for a moment. Orla also held her engagement there. Thinking this, he agreed:

“There then.”

He again thought of the past events, was silent for a moment, then said: “Also, that girl named Adela Kyle that I hurt back then, do some digging on her for me.”

No matter the reason, it was a fact that Jonathan had violated her.

Whether he is responsible or should compensate, he couldn’t evade it.

***

Roger worked efficiently and arranged for Carla’s kindergarten the day, personally taking Carla to school the next day.

As for Carla’s weight issue, he would recover quickly with an appropriate diet and exercise.

And Jonathan had to return home to plan and didn’t follow them to school.

Looking at the small villa before his eyes, Jonathan was far from happy.

He had started working in his youth and founded an architectural firm worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

When he married Orla, he bought this small villa worth a few million dollars.

He had treated her sincerely, but all he received in return was betrayal and imprisonment...!

Knock, knock, knock!

Jonathan knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened from the inside.

The person opening the door for Jonathan was a stunningly beautiful woman, well-maintained with a creamy complexion. Jonathan stared at her momentarily, a sense of unfamiliarity hanging between them as if several lifetimes had passed.

"You're back?"

Orla, too, seemed shocked, her face alarmed: "You got out yesterday. I had some issues and couldn't meet you. Can you understand?"

"It's fine, and I'm out now anyway. What's this? Are you blocking the door to keep me out?" Jonathan asked a playful edge in her eyes.

"Alright, come in..."

As he walked in, Jonathan's expression became strangely contorted. Not only was Orla present in the house, but two others.

One of them was his father-in-law, Marcus William.

The other was a more compelling character, Edward Tremblay!

Six years ago, he and Edward Tremblay were considered rivals.

Edward Tremblay had used his connections to snatch away several projects from Jonathan, but he could have managed them better due to his lack of talent, and Edward's company never took off.

Tommy once mentioned that Orla sold her company to Edward and had an ambiguous relationship with him.

Despite his mental preparation, seeing this with his own eyes still stabbed Jonathan in the heart.

"Jonathan, you're out of prison. What a joyous occasion! Tonight, Orla and I have guests for a party to celebrate your return." Edward suddenly reached out to hold Orla's hand, a provocative smile on his lips.

Orla's face seemed uncomfortable, but she didn't pull away.

"I think you owe me an explanation, don't you?" Jonathan looked at Orla.

At this point, Orla dropped her act.

She raised her head to look straight at Jonathan and said: "Yes, what you see is correct. I'm dating Edward, and we're getting engaged at the Way Heaven Hotel in two days! Jonathan, Edward has cared for me for the past six years. His genuine affection has moved me. He's the man I want to spend my life with! If you are a man, you will let us be, and please divorce me!"
