Olivia had always been a bit puzzled about Jonathan's identity. She felt that he was somewhat mysterious.
Jonathan smiled faintly, "Actually, it has little to do with me. I just went to the police station to report it. They were already targeting the Roberts family. When I arrived, military agents were secretly protecting me. After you were rescued, many more people arrived and eradicated the Roberts family's dark forces that had accumulated over decades in one fell swoop."
Hearing this, Olivia felt something was off but couldn't pinpoint it. She nodded skeptically and followed Jonathan back to the villa.
While Olivia was with Ruby, Jonathan instructed Benjamin, "Have Elliott Wellington from the Yonderville military come here to see me. Make sure no one else sees him, not even my wife or daughter."
To Jonathan, the projects left behind by the Roberts family were his to take as he wished. But these things couldn't be exposed to the public since there were many things that couldn't be explained.
About ten minutes later, Elliott, dressed in plain clothes, personally drove a black car into an empty room in the villa.
No one would believe that a colonel from the Yonderville military would be summoned at will.
"General." The first thing Elliott did upon entering was to stand at attention and salute. He had dealt with Jonathan's matters before and had received orders from Imperial Tower. So, he had immense respect for Jonathan.
Elliott was actually a bit fearful, and sweat formed on his forehead. After all, when dealing with the Roberts family, the Yonderville military neither hindered Jonathan's actions nor provided any support. 'Is General Parker going to hold me accountable?' Elliott's heart sank, as he couldn't think of any other possibility.
"Elliott, are the Roberts family's remaining projects in your hands now?" Jonathan asked impassively.
"Yes, General. Do you have any orders for me?" Elliott immediately understood Jonathan's implication and replied quickly, but he was still very nervous.
Jonathan was much more imposing than any other generals Elliott had met. Just sitting there, Jonathan made Elliott feel breathless. He truly was the youngest five-star general in Novaria.
"Pick some and assign them to my wife, Olivia. Remember, Olivia must be the only one to take charge," Jonathan said coldly.
"Understood, General. I'll make sure of it!" Elliott responded quickly. Though he had some questions in his mind, he didn't dare to ask anything.
"You may leave." Jonathan waved his hand.
Elliott hesitated for a moment and then said, "General, I oversee some of the Yonderville military's commercial activities. In three days, there will be a business exchange event in Yonderville. I have arranged it. The forces and families that obtained the Roberts family's projects will attend it. Since you intend to take over some of these projects, you and Mrs. Parker are welcome there."
Jonathan glanced at the invitation Elliott handed over and said, "Just leave it here. I'll go if I have time."
"Yes, sir." Elliott saluted him and then left the villa secretly.

In another villa of the Harrison family, Sophia angrily smashed several items and said to Declan, "Dad, do we just sit and watch? If Olivia gets the Roberts family's project and returns to the Harrison family, there will be no room for me here."
Declan took a sip of coffee and smiled, "Take it easy, Sophia. I looked Jonathan up. He's just a retired soldier with no background. The Parker family was wiped out five years ago. He won't make waves. It's impossible for them to get the Roberts family's project."
"Really?" Sophia sneered. "Heh, I knew it. That b***h will never return to the Harrison family.
"But Dad, Jonathan is too arrogant. He hit me and Mr. Newton. Mr. Newton said he won't let Jonathan off easily. I'm afraid it will affect my relationship with him."
Declan shook his head. "Mr. Newton is a man of pride. He won't hold a grudge against you over a hobo. I believe he'll strive harder to secure the Roberts family's project. You just need to show him more concern and build a good relationship. The Newton family is likely to win the bid this time. I've heard they are one of the predetermined candidates. Once Mr. Newton handles this, it will naturally benefit us. Your grandfather will value you even more, and it will boost our status in the family."
"Dad, I know what to do," Sophia said. "Mr. Newton and I'll visit Colonel Wellington tomorrow. Once I get the letter of intent for the cooperation, Olivia will lose the chance to return to the Harrison family forever."
Declan smiled coldly.
Meanwhile, Jagger, Sally, and Chad were staying in an old residential area of the Harrison family.
Chad kept whining, "Mom, look at my hand. Damn Jonathan! It hurts so much."
Sally comforted him, "Honey, don't worry. I won't let him get away with it."
She then turned to Jagger, who was pacing back and forth in the living room, and shouted, "Stop! You're making me dizzy. Look at what your daughter did. If you don't come up with a solution to avenge Chad, I won't let you off."
Jagger sighed helplessly, "Darling, Olivia has been kicked out of the Harrison family. What else do you want me to do? Jonathan is a madman. If you want to avenge Chad, I'll just have someone beat Jonathan up."
"Not enough. I want him to apologize to Chad. I want Chad to beat him up himself. Don't tell me you still care about Olivia. That b***h can't set foot in the Harrison family again. Remember what you said today. You have only one child, Chad," Sally shouted, her chest heaving with anger.
"Also, didn't you say you were going to contact Colonel Wellington? How is that going? What did your friends say? Can Chad go? This is a great opportunity. Don't mess it up," Sally demanded.
