“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 delayed 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.” Clarence nodded and hung up.

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

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

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

Clarence 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 Clarence 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 Clarence Howard?” The girl in the red trenchcoat asked coldly.

There was a faint hint of disdain in her tone.

Clarence frowned slightly. “And you are?”

He could sense the woman’s hostility.

“My name is Winnie Howard.”

Clarence was sharp-witted. “You have the last 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 a lady at all.

However, Clarence 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 Clarence, so she was surprised when Clarence 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 Clarence with respect. “Young Master.”

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

Clarence 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?” Clarence asked in surprise.

Emmett smiled faintly. “It’s me.”

Clarence 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 Clarence three years ago, shortly after his marriage to Miranda.

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

The sole heir!

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

Unfortunately, Clarence had only been briefly shocked before he flat-out refused.

He had just gotten married. He just wanted to be a regular 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 Island.”

“Paradise Island?” Clarence paused.

Winnie curled her lips. “It’s a sacred place 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 dollars 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 Clarence. 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 accomplished the terms of the inheritance contract, and you can’t be the consortium’s heir.”

Clarence 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.” Clarence made an offhand remark.

Emmett and Winnie were stunned.

Then, Emmett laughed 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.”

Clarence shrugged. “I’m just saying.

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

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

Clarence laughed 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 Clarence had said.

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

“Why not?

“Can’t I give it up?” Clarence 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.”

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

Emmett nodded. “Yes.”

He stared intently at Clarence. “According 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 claim the inheritance.”

“Destroy?

“What do you mean?” Clarence 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?’

Clarence was dumbstruck.

Emmett explained, “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 regular 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 a company, starting tomorrow, there will be all kinds of problems with your company’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.”
