    “It’s me.”


    Emmett, who was at the other end of the line, nodded. “I’m here in Mediterranean City.


    “I heard that you just got divorced, so I came over. Unfortunately, I was dyed for a few days because I had some things to deal with.


    “Young Master, there’s something I must tell you myself.”


    “Okay, let’s meet up.” rence nodded and hung up.


    “Cecilia, head home by yourself first. I have something to do.” rence’s expression looked a little solemn.


    Cecilia looked at rence hesitantly, nodded silently, and did not ask him any questions.


    She gave rence a peck on the cheek and hailed a cab from the side of the road.


    rence froze, his cheeks burning.


    Just then, a girl in a red trenchcoat walked over. She was tall, at least 5 feet and 7 inches tall, and had a good figure. She was sophisticated. You could tell that she had grown up in a rich and powerful family.


    She looked at rence calmly. The arrogance in her eyes looked like arrogance she had been born with.


    She was like a dignified VIP, looking down on ordinary people at the bottom.


    “Are you rence Howard?” The girl in the red trenchcoat asked coldly.


    There was a faint hint of disdain in her tone.


    rence frowned slightly. “And you are?”


    He could sense the woman’s hostility.


    “My name is Winnie Howard.”


    rence was sharp-witted. “You have thest name Howard too?


    “Emmett?


    “Did Emmett send you?”


    “Haha.”


    Winnie hid her hands in the trenchcoat’s pockets. “You’re smart. Come with me.”


    Winnie turned and walked away quickly. She did not walk like ady at all.


    However, rence was not slow either. Since he had activated his governing and conception vessels, he was physically stronger than average, so such a speed was nothing to him.


    Winnie had deliberately walked fast to embarrass rence, so she was surprised when rence was able to follow closely behind.


    They walked one behind the other into the depths of the park.


    The people around them thinned out, and Winnie finally stopped under an old tree with no street lights around it.


    An old man was stood in front of the stone bench. He looked at rence with respect. “Young Master.”


    The old man was average-looking and had gray hair and in clothes. He looked Caucasian.


    rence would never have known that he was Emmett. This old man would have perfectly blended in with the older men and women walking around the park.


    “Emmett?” rence asked in surprise.


    Emmett smiled faintly. “It’s me.”


    rence shook his head. “I never thought we’d meet this way.


    “For three years, I’ve fantasized countless times about what you’d look like and how we would first meet. Who knew that it would be here.”


    Emmett had reached out to rence three years ago, shortly after his marriage to Miranda.


    He had told rence that rence was heir to the world’s most mysterious consortium.


    The sole heir!


    rence could immediately say yes to taking over the consortium, thus bing a mysterious super billionaire who turned the wheels of the world as he wanted to.


    Unfortunately, rence had only been briefly shocked before he t-out refused.


    He had just gotten married. He just wanted to be a regr man and take care of Miranda.


    However, Emmett was now showing up after he had divorced Miranda.


    Emmett smiled and said, “Yes, Young Master, I didn’t expect to meet you here.


    “I thought we’d meet for the first time at the inheritance ceremony on Paradise Ind.”


    “Paradise Ind?” rence paused.


    Winnie curled her lips. “It’s a sacred ce for all the super-rich people of the world, you country bumpkin.


    “You’d never even know about it if you didn’t own hundreds of billions of dors in fortune.”


    “Winnie.” Emmett frowned. “Who gave you permission to talk to Young Master like that?”


    Winnie tactfully kept her mouth shut.


    It did not bother rence. He looked at Emmett in confusion. “What do you want with me today?


    “Do you want me to inherit the consortium?”


    Emmett nodded, but then shook his head. “Yes, and no.”


    “What do you mean?”


    Emmett sighed, “Young Master, there wouldn’t have been a problem with your inheritance right if you had divorced Miranda after being married for three years.”


    “But it’s different now. You and Miranda have been married for less than three years, so you have not aplished the terms of the inheritance contract, and you can’t be the consortium’s heir.”


    rence looked puzzled. “What do you mean?


    “Didn’t you say I was the sole heir?”


    “You were, but not anymore.” Emmett shook his head. “Master had many adopted sons and daughters besides you. For example, Winnie’s one of the adopted daughters too. She’s in line too, but she’s way behind even the person fifth in line to the inheritance.


    “There are dozens of heirs in front of Winnie. It couldn’t be her turn anyway.”


    “Unless everyone before her dies.” rence made an offhand remark.


    Emmett and Winnie were stunned.


    Then, Emmettughed and said, “Young Master, you’re joking. These dozens of people pretty much control the world. Killing them all would destroy the world, so it’s impossible.”


    rence shrugged. “I’m just saying.


    “So I can’t inherit the consortium anymore, right?”


    Emmett looked at rence in confusion. “Young Master, aren’t you disappointed you can’t inherit the consortium?”


    renceughed and said, “What is there to be disappointed about? I never wanted to inherit it.


    “I don’t feel like it belongs to me either.


    “I’ve been an orphan since I was little. I’m already satisfied that you’ve let me know who I am and who my parents are. Why would I expect to inherit the world’s most mysterious consortium?


    “I’m doing well now. I run a clinic to make a living for myself, and I have nothing to worry about.


    “It would be better if you didn’t let me inherit it.


    “I don’t want the consortium. Please don’t disturb my peaceful life again.”


    Winnie’s jaw dropped when she heard what rence had said.


    Emmett smiled ruefully. “Young Master, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”


    “Why not?


    “Can’t I give it up?” rence frowned.


    Emmett shook his head. “Some people are born with a heavy burden. You can’t give up just because you want to, Young Master.


    “You don’t want to inherit the consortium, but the others think differently.”


    rence asked, “Who? The others who are entitled to the inheritance?”


    Emmett nodded. “Yes.”


    He stared intently at rence. “ording to the rules Master set, if you give up the inheritance, the others will have the right to inherit it, but they will have to destroy you before they can im the inheritance.”


    “Destroy?


    “What do you mean?” rence looked at Emmett in surprise.


    ‘Isn’t he giving trouble to his own son?


    ‘Do I still have to suffer when I don’t even want to inherit my dad’s consortium?


    ‘What the hell is this?’


    rence was dumbstruck.


    Emmett exined, “They’re going to run you over with all the connections and tricks they can use on you.


    “For example, if you’re just a regr employee, starting tomorrow, your supervisor’s going to be pressuring you and giving you a hard time. And the office is going to give you all sorts of trouble.


    “If you are the owner of apany, starting tomorrow, there will be all kinds of problems with yourpany’s contracts.


    “Bank credit crisis, capital chain rupture, employee turnover, corporate espionage, and all kinds of problems.”


    Emmett paused before continuing. “You can only fight back then. You will only prove that you have lost your inheritance once you are destroyed.


    “And after you lose your inheritance, you can only end up dead.”
