LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Some time ago, Theresa Hale’s grandfather, Fox Hale, for his own selfish reasons, wanted to give Theresa Hale to Bradford. Because of this, Fox Hale refused a young heir from the Imperial City who was pursuing Theresa Hale. And that young heir… was none other than Halbert Chan from the Imperial City’s Chan family.

Although Katherine Snee was Theresa Hale’s friend, she only knew one side of the story and was unaware of the other. She didn’t know why Halbert Chan was rejected by the Hale family. All she knew was that after being rejected by the Hale family, Halbert Chan vowed to destroy the entire Hale family within a year.

If these words were spoken by anyone else, Katherine Snee wouldn’t believe them. But when they came from Halbert Chan’s mouth, Katherine Snee had no reason not to believe them.

In Katherine Snee’s view, on the surface, the Imperial City’s Chan family and the Hale family were equally wealthy, with almost equal financial power. However, the Imperial City’s Chan family and the Nangang Chan family were closely connected. In other words, as long as Halbert Chan was willing, he could even mobilize all the resources of the Nangang Chan Pearl to suppress any business family.

What does this mean? It means that Halbert Chan alone could wield the financial power of two super conglomerates. With such resources at his disposal, Halbert Chan’s wealth could even rival that of a vice president in Skyhowl.

Moreover, Halbert Chan was not even thirty years old yet and had already reached the pinnacle of the business world. Such a giant… had unlimited potential in the future.

Originally, Theresa Hale was supposed to be even more outstanding than Halbert Chan. Unfortunately, fate played its tricks. The business world was like a battlefield. Although Theresa Hale had established a great territory for Skyhowl, she ultimately could not escape the fate of being abandoned like a dead rabbit or dog.

In today’s banquet, the mysterious new chairman of Skyhowl gave Theresa Hale face. But fundamentally, it was just to tell everyone that Theresa Hale had been abandoned by Skyhowl. In the future, anyone who dared to use her would have to consider whether they had the qualifications to be enemies with Skyhowl.

The reality is just that cruel.

Unfortunately, at this critical moment, Halbert Chan, who was previously rejected by the Hale family, also appeared on the scene! Katherine Snee didn’t need to think too much to understand what Halbert Chan’s purpose for being here today was. He simply wanted to kick Theresa Hale while she was down.

Realizing this, a sense of despair filled Katherine Snee’s face. She was not only despairing for her own future, but also for Theresa Hale’s future. Little did she know that Katherine Snee’s thoughts were completely wrong. Theresa Hale wasn’t abandoned by Skyhowl. It was clear that she was on her way to reaching great heights, all thanks to Jun Chester’s words.

Today, Theresa Hale was going to publicly announce that she was officially leaving Skyhowl. But starting today, she would become the vice president of Lordran Headquarters, handling and managing wealth worth trillions annually. In this moment, it wasn’t just Katherine Snee who misunderstood. It wasn’t just Webster Chan, who had already been slapped by Jun Chester, who misunderstood. Halbert Chan, sitting in the white Rolls-Royce in front of them, took this misunderstanding to the extreme.

Inside the white Rolls-Royce, Halbert Chan sat calmly in the back seat. He wore a white suit, had a handsome appearance, and had a box of white roses by his side. It seemed like he was about to propose to someone. He witnessed everything that happened outside the car and, of course, heard Webster Chan’s plea for help.

However, looking at his current demeanor, it seemed that he had no intention of immediately coming to Webster Chan’s aid. There was a reason for this. The Imperial City’s Chan family was a prominent family among prominent families. There were countless instances of family members turning against each other for the sake of wealth. Although Halbert Chan was Webster Chan’s older brother, seeing Webster Chan’s face covered in blood from the young man outside the car, he felt not only surprise but also a sense of schadenfreude.

In other words, Webster Chan being beaten and disfigured in that little incident was for the best. This way, Webster Chan would lose his eligibility to compete with Halbert Chan for the position of the Chan family’s patriarch in the future.

However, it was a pity… How could it be that Webster Chan only had a ruptured eardrum? How could it be that he only lost a few teeth? It was truly… so unfortunate!

Although Halbert Chan thought this way in his heart, he still opened the car door and got out of the car. Standing beside the car, he appeared as a gentleman, like a graceful and refined scholar. It seemed that nothing could provoke his impatience.

At this moment, Webster Chan had already returned to the scene. The look in his eyes when he looked at Jun Chester was filled with extreme terror. And behind that terror was an overwhelming anger. Webster Chan glared ferociously at Jun Chester and said to Halbert Chan, “Kill him for me!”

Little did he expect that as soon as those words left his mouth, Jun Chester looked at Webster Chan again with just one glance. Webster Chan’s entire body stiffened in fear. His eyes were filled with nothing but terror. Subconsciously, he couldn’t help but feel that such a terrifying person shouldn’t exist in this world.

Halbert Chan carefully observed Jun Chester from head to toe and raised an eyebrow slightly. He hadn’t expected that when he came here this time to take advantage of Theresa Hale’s vulnerability and bring her into his fold, turning her into a slave, he would encounter a martial artist outside the mansion before even entering.

Interestingly enough, his incompetent younger brother had also offended this person. How intriguing! Very intriguing!NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Well then! In any case, Theresa Hale had just entered the mansion. Her fighting spirit should not have been crushed to ashes by the mysterious chairman of Skyhowl. Why not test this young man in front of him before subduing Theresa Hale? Let’s see if he has what it takes to become one of his subordinates.

While Halbert Chan was lost in his thoughts, Katherine Snee suddenly said to him, “Mr. Chan, this matter today has nothing to do with the gentleman beside me. I don’t even know him. I beg you to spare him.”

At this point, Katherine Snee clenched her teeth and added, “If Mr. Chan can let this gentleman go, I… I will definitely serve the Chan Group tirelessly in the future!”

Halbert Chan chuckled.

“Servitude? Do you think you’re Theresa Hale? Even if she’s abandoned by Skyhowl, she’s still a useful person to me!”

“And you? Just a… freshly graduated rookie from campus. Do you really think your experience of studying abroad in four countries is worth mentioning?”

“Talents like you, who only have education but lack practical experience, are not lacking in my eyes, Halbert Chan!”

Upon hearing these words, Katherine Snee felt a sense of inferiority for the first time in her life. Over the past few years, she had graduated from the top four economics schools in the world, and she had obtained a doctoral degree from all of them! She thought she was already a cut above the rest. Though she couldn’t compare herself to Theresa Hale, the only thing she lacked was some practical experience. But now it seemed…

She felt utterly worthless. Her family was bankrupt, burdened with enormous debts. She was ruthlessly oppressed by the business tycoon, the young master of the Imperial City, Halbert Chan. Her future seemed bleak. It was only now, at this moment, that Katherine Snee truly understood that no matter how much knowledge she possessed, once she lost the support of capital, even if she struggled for a lifetime, she would find it difficult to achieve anything. Could it be that she was left with nothing but a somewhat presentable appearance?

In any case, at this moment, Katherine Snee was in despair. Today, she had offended the Chan brothers from the Chan family. Halbert Chan considered her useless, and Webster Chan had been severely injured by the man who stood up for her. Her prospects held no hope. At least in the Imperial City… she had nowhere to go.

At this point, Halbert Chan no longer paid attention to Katherine Snee and once again looked at Jun Chester, speaking in a casual tone. “Kneel down. I appreciate talent, and although you only have brute force, you do have some usefulness. At the very least, you still have the qualification to drive for me.”
