At the southern bank of Jolhurst River, Benedict was in a wheelchair, watching the raging river with a sense of wistfulness.
The river would never stop flowing for anyone, and that was the same for time.
The surging waves would wear down those who dared to oppose them.
Back then, the Chalkers left a trail of blood behind them at Jolhurst River on their journey to glory. Eventually, they fell from grace.
This river had seen the rise and fall of the Chalker family, and it had witnessed the change of power in Jadeborough.
They were in cruel times where only the strongest were kings.
Benedict was in a trance as he fixed his gaze on Jolhurst River. Finally, he sighed and said, “It’s a new era in Jadeborough, and in this revolution, our family has finally found its footing.”
As he said that, a relieved smile grew on his face.
Behind him, Kane agreed. “Dad, the Sheldon family has finally made the right bet.”
Benedict smiled. “Bring me back. We have a tough battle to fight soon, and that will affect the situation at Jadeborough for the following decades, maybe even the century.”
“Of course.” Kane nodded.
The death of a whale would birth an ecosystem for hundreds of others.
The Chalker family had been a giant who ruled over the North River District. South River District’s forces, including Osmond, had to work together to hold their ground against them
Now, the collapse of the Chalker family had brought endless opportunities to the other wealthy families–a profiting market.
Everyone wished to win more power in the corporate battle.
Perhaps it was time for Osmond to change his title from South River King to Jadeborough King.
At the Sunderland residence, the willful Charlotte had skipped her cram school classes and was giggling as she looked at her phone on the couch.
“I knew it! I knew that Mr. Lund wasn’t a sugar baby.”
In the meantime, Franklin was troubled. He was at a loss with the stubborn girl. Yet, he could not help but feel worried as he watched his granddaughter giggle on the couch.

It looks like the silly girl has fallen head over heels for him.
Before the Chalkers‘ incident, Franklin would have been glad to have his granddaughter get together with Emrys. In fact, he would have even created opportunities for them to be alone with each other.
However, after that day, Franklin realized that thought of his was unrealistic.
Like Thomas, he initially thought that Emrys was just Empyrean Lord’s brother–in–law who grew up in Jadeborough, but as it turned out, Emrys was the Empyrean Lord himself.
That could only mean one thing.
Emrys was someone who had seen the world. He was a man standing on the top of the pyramid, so he could have any outstanding woman he wanted.
On the other hand, his granddaughter was unruly and disliked studying. Even though she was cute, she was not developing quickly enough in certain areas.
She did not have an upper hand over the others.
Franklin grew morose.
“Charlotte, I have some things I want to tell you, but you need to prepare yourself mentally before hearing them.”
“What?”
Charlotte shot upright on the couch. When she took in Franklin’s solemn expression, she said, “Grandpa, you’re not going to tell me that you have cancer and don’t have long to live, right?”
That has to be it. Why else is Grandpa suddenly so serious? He’s even asking me to mentally prepare myself for his words.
“Grandpa, don’t die! I don’t want you to die!”
Charlotte began bawling as she threw herself at Franklin, wrapping her arms around her grandfather’s neck.
“Shoo!” Franklin’s expression darkened. “I’m as healthy as a horse! Are you hoping that I cancer?”
“That’s how shows tend to go…” Charlotte mumbled.

“I told you to stop watching those soap operas, but you wouldn’t listen to me. It looks like I’ll have to confiscate your phone from now on.”
“No! My phone’s my life!”

Charlotte protested as she gripped her phone tightly and looked at her grandfather with hostility.

Franklin sighed in exasperation. “If your phone is your life, then what about Mr. Lund?”
