Chapter 18 The Peak of a Lifetime, Master Harold

"What? Fonda’s Marc actually called him young master?"

"Isn't George just a waste expelled from the Harold family? How could he possibly be connected to Marc, who has trillions of assets?"

"Could it be, George is the hidden boss of Fonda Group? That would make him Riverdale's richest person, maybe even the richest in China."

"Oh my god, what a bombshell! So exciting!"

Everyone was stunned, whispering to each other, as they watched the stage.

The entire Willow family was dumbfounded.

The old lady trembled.

Florence's eyes widened.

Lily covered her mouth, her mind blank!

In this moment, George had an expression devoid of sadness or joy, as he looked at Marc and asked, "Marc, why are you here?"

Marc replied, “Mr. Harold, I heard that the Willow family was having their annual meeting, so I came to join in the fun. Since the process of the billion-dollar contract was completed, I personally brought it over. I didn't expect...” George glanced at Lily and sighed, "I didn't expect you to witness such an embarrassing scene." He took the billion-dollar contract from Marc's hand. With a gentle tear, it split into two halves. "Rrrrip!" Willow family's old lady rushed forward, her eyes bloodshot, and hoarsely exclaimed, "Ah, George, what did you tear apart?" George whispered, "This is the billion-dollar contract from the Fonda group, stamped and approved."

"Ah!" The old lady cried out in shock, "You bastard, how dare you tear the contract? You're asking for death!" Marc erupted, snatched the contract from George's hand, tore it into pieces once again, and fiercely smashed it onto the old lady's face. He roared, "You're the one who's asking for death!" In an instant, the whole room fell silent. The old lady felt pain from the shards hitting her face, but her heart was even more panicked. "Marc, calm down, what's going on? Isn't this billion-dollar contract the wedding gift Tom gave to our Willow family? Mr. Harold, Mr. Harold, please explain! This billion-dollar contract was arranged by you, we can't tear it apart!" If it's torn, how will the Willow family rise among the second-rate families? How will we prosper?

Charles Harold was standing nearby, and the old lady pulled him over directly. "Haha, haha!" Marc laughed furiously as he stared at Charles Harold. "What did you say? My Fonda's billion-dollar contract was arranged by you as a wedding gift to the Willow family?" Charles Harold never expected Marc to show up personally. For a moment, he nodded repeatedly, not daring to make a sound. Marc directly slapped him across the face and angrily said, "You old thing, shameless! Get lost! Who gave you the ability to arrange this?" At this moment, everyone realized that something was wrong with the billion-dollar contract. Lily widened her eyes. Could it be true that her husband, George, had given her this?

The old lady panicked and asked, "Marc, is it true that Mr. Harold didn't arrange this contract? Then who did?" Marc coldly snorted, "Old lady, are you suffering from dementia? This billion-dollar contract was a gift from George Lin, the young master, to Miss Lily! Otherwise, do you think I, Marc, would come here to congratulate you small Willows for your building materials business? I am here for George!" As soon as these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue! As everyone had their suspicion before, now they had obtained confirmation that it was really a lie.

"Smack!"

Lily slapped Tom across the face. "You deceitful man!"

At that moment, Morrison Reeze saw an opportunity and kicked Tom down. "That's right, he's definitely a fraud!"

Then, Morrison knelt before Lily, pleading, "Madam Lin, I apologize. Previously at the banquet, it was Tom's scheme that influenced me. He convinced me to take fifty million, deliberately causing trouble and threatening you, just so he could play the hero and snatch you away from Young Master Lin. I was wrong, please forgive me. I'm even willing to kowtow to you!"

"Thud, thud, thud!"

Tears welled up in Lily's eyes, increasing in number.

"Swish!"

Mike Reeze snatched the "Heart of Ocean" necklace right off Florence's neck and slammed it hard onto the ground. "This is a blatant counterfeit imitation of our Heart of Ocean. Wearing this is an insult to the authenticity of our Heart of Ocean and is illegal."

"Ah!" Shocked and bewildered.

Everything Tom said were all lies.

And everything George said and did were true.

But they hadn't believed him at all.

Now, George felt a sense of desolation, his mind filled with the image of Lily nodding in agreement to Tom's proposal just moments ago. A tear rolled down his cheek, and he fled from the hotel like the wind.

Lily's heart was in agony, a pain that left her breathless.

He said...

“For the past ten months, you’ve been supporting me!"

“For the rest of our remaining years, you can rely on me!"

But she never believed him and instead trusted a scumbag.

She went crazy and crawled on the ground, searching for the wedding ring she had thrown away with her own hands.

Finally, she found it!

She put it on and rushed out of the banquet hall.

"Husband, I was wrong, where are you?"

Meanwhile, Mrs. Willow, in a state of panic, was terrified and lost.

It's over!

Everything is truly ruined now!

What was supposed to be a great event has turned into a disaster. They not only embarrassed themselves in front of the guests but also lost a billion-dollar contract, shattering the Willow family's aspirations and offending the Fonda Group.

The thought that this misfortune were all caused by Charles Harold and Tom made her extremely furious. She grabbed her cane and fiercely swung it at Charles Harold.

"You old trickster!"

"I'll beat you to death!"

Marc snorted coldly, took his subordinates and all the gifts they had brought, and stormed out.

George left the hotel and went straight to the hospital room in the city, where he massaged his mother's limbs.

This was a daily nursing task that must be done.

Without proper care, the muscles of a coma patient would atrophy, and the meridians would become obstructed.

Due to bone degeneration, if one day his mother wakes up, she may become paralyzed and unable to move. Therefore, over the past six months, George has read countless medical books and has become more knowledgeable about caring for vegetative patients than even the nurses.

At this moment, Vivian had not finished work yet and happened to come in to check on George. When George saw her, she was wearing the Heart of Ocean necklace around her neck. It looked exceptionally beautiful on her, complementing her stunning appearance.

Vivian saw George and smiled, saying, "George, the glass jewelry you gave me is really beautiful. Many people have been asking where I bought it!"

"Oh?" George was at a loss for how to respond.

Vivian didn't mind and, after finishing her examination of Mia, suddenly asked, "George, are you free tonight?"

"What for?" George asked.

”I want to ask you to be my boyfriend," Vivian replied.

"Ah..." George was astonished.
