The Ruler of the Financial Empire

"Young master, it has been four years, you should go back now. The Lord asked me to bring you back to Lion Guild." "Lion Guild is currently facing internal and external troubles. The Lord is critically ill, and the eldest young master has been in a coma and has not awakened so far. Only you can lead Lion Guild." Outside the Glorious SPA store, there was a Rolls-Royce Phantom parked, and next to the car door, an old man was standing, talking to Edwin Lytton with a calm expression. This old man was wearing a British suit, and a black hat, and leaning on a black gold cane. "It has been four years. I am grateful that he still remembers me." Edwin's lips curved into a faint cold smile, his eyes silent, with no illusions about Lion Guild. "He listened to that woman's words and heartlessly drove me and my mother out of Lion Guild. Wasn't it because I was an illegitimate child in everyone's eyes? How many years has it been? When did he ever care about me and my mother?" "Now, he says that I have to go back, so I have to? Am I just a dog to them to be called upon any time they want?" "I am already married, I don't need anyone's pity, especially from Lion Guild! Go back, leave me alone!" Edwin coldly said, took a step, and turned to enter the SPA store, leaving behind the old man at the door with a sigh. Lion Guild, the world's largest secret organization, controlled the world's top medical and mineral resources, and possessed the most wealth! Unparalleled power! No one dared to provoke them, they were the longest-standing family! Within the Lion Guild, the master was the Lord, and under him were the eight great bishops, each of them controlling a region, their wealth and power dominating everything! And martial arts masters from all over the world were disciples of Lion Guild, all obedient to the Lord! Edwin pushed open the door, and the staff of the SPA store looked at him with a strange gaze. Edwin had been working here for four years and was completely insignificant. Now, he could talk to someone sitting in a Rolls-Royce, it was unbelievable... Just as Edwin took a few steps, his phone in his pocket vibrated. Looking at the caller ID, it was his wife Lauren Duncan. "Hello, Lauren, what's the matter?" Edwin asked with a smile. Lauren, known as the beauty of Ciadeles City, was famous for being one of the four goddesses of Ciadeles. Of course, now when people talked about Lauren, it was more mocking, mocking her for marrying a useless loser! "Edwin! Hurry to the Wellness Hospital! Maggie is in trouble!" On the other end of the phone, Lauren's voice sounded anxious. "Okay! I'll be right there!" Edwin didn't hesitate, informed the manager, and rushed out the door, riding his bike towards the hospital. The Duncan family was a second-rate noble family in Ciadeles, Cenester State. Edwin met Lauren by chance four years ago and married into the Duncan family. At that time, their wedding caused a sensation in Ciadeles because it was the most shabby wedding in the history of Ciadeles' noble family. Because Edwin was a penniless boy with no background. As a result, the Duncan family became a laughingstock among the noble families in Ciadeles. For four years, Edwin had been living cautiously in the Duncan family, enduring ridicule and unfair treatment. As the son-in-law, he naturally had to be prepared for such treatment. Moreover, Edwin needed the support of the Duncan family because his mother needed money for her treatment. At the entrance of the hospital, Edwin saw Lauren who had been waiting for a long time. She looked furious and also seemed very anxious. Seeing Edwin come, her face turned cold and she walked over, raising her hand. Slap! A crisp slap echoed at the entrance of the hospital, attracting the attention of passersby. "Why are you so slow!" Lauren's big eyes, shimmering with tears, were filled with anger! Edwin was slightly stunned, looking at his wife like this, he anxiously asked, "Lauren, what's wrong? What happened to Maggie?" Allowing tears to flow out of her eyes, Lauren rushed into Edwin's arms, crying, "Maggie... Maggie has leukemia." At this moment, this man who had been a loser for four years, the man who made himself and the Duncan family a laughingstock, became Lauren's only support. Hearing these words, Edwin's face trembled, his pupils contracted, and his lips quivered, "Le... leukemia? How?" Maggie was Edwin and Lauren's daughter, who was only three years old. Inside the ward, it was already crowded with Duncan family members. Lauren's Grandpa, Mr. Duncan, sat by the bedside, accompanying the cute little girl on the bed, his eyes filled with affection. Around them stood the descendants of the Duncan family. Seeing Edwin and Lauren walk in, a rebuke sounded directly in the hospital room, causing an explosion! "Edwin! You worthless thing, why are you here? Get out!" Edwin’s mother-in-law Faithe's face was filled with resentment, her arms crossed and scolded! This useless son-in-law was a disgrace wherever he went! "Heh heh, who did I see back then? Turns out to be Edwin. What are you doing here?" Beside them, a sarcastic voice sounded, spoken by the son of the second branch of the Duncan family, Woodrow Duncan. He had never liked Edwin, a useless person who couldn't amount to anything, why should he be able to become the Duncan family's son-in-law? And because of him, the Duncan family was being humiliated in Ciadeles! "That's right, what is a loser doing here?" "Hey, after all, he is Maggie's father, it's his right to come and see." "Shut up! Keep your voice down, can't you see grandpa is here? You've forgotten that Maggie can only call him uncle." Speaking of this, all of the family members in the ward, also smiled coldly. Edwin couldn't even recognize his daughter. How useless! Lauren stepped forward and said to her Grandpa, "Grandpa, Edwin is here." The old man of the Duncan family, with gray hair, wearing a white suit, let go of Maggie's tender little hand, didn't even look at Edwin, and said to the butler beside him, "Let him sign it." "Yes, sir." The butler walked up to Edwin, took out a document, and said coldly, "This is the divorce agreement between you and Lauren Duncan. Once you sign it, Mr. Duncan will provide treatment for Maggie. Don't worry, we have found the bone marrow for Maggie, and you don't have to worry about the treatment cost." Upon hearing this, Edwin's eyes lit up. He stared at the butler with confusion and anger, then turned his head to look at the old man and said, "Grandpa, Maggie is my daughter. Why isn't it my bone marrow?" "Shut up!" The old man of the Duncan family scolded, stood up, and stared at Edwin with cold eyes, holding a crutch in his hand, "You dare to call yourself Maggie's father? Sign it quickly, from now on, you have no relationship with the Duncan family! Remember, her name is Maggie Duncan, not Maggie Lytton!" Hearing this, Lauren also became anxious and said, "Grandpa, I won't divorce Edwin. He will always be Maggie's father. I hope you reconsider it." After all, Lauren had been married to Edwin for four years, living under the same roof, and there was no fake affection. Upon hearing Lauren's words, Edwin was also taken aback. So she acknowledged him as her husband and acknowledged that he was Maggie's father. Slap! The old man swung his hand and slapped Lauren's face angrily, scolding, "How dare you? When is it your turn to speak? If it weren't for you marrying such a waste, would the Duncan family become a laughingstock in the city?!" The people of the Duncan family around them all looked on coldly, with a smirk on their lips. Lauren's eyes turned red, covering her cheeks, timidly standing on the side. Edwin's heart tightened when he saw Lauren being hit, fiercely clenched his fist with anger. How could his woman be bullied! Then, the old man stared at Edwin, his face red with anger, and said coldly, "Without my consent, the hospital will not use your bone marrow, and I have already bought all the bone marrow that matches Maggie's. If you don't sign the divorce agreement, I won't treat Maggie! And the treatment cost is also over two hundred thousand dollars, can you afford it?" Hearing this, Edwin trembled in his heart. What a heartless Grandpa! He was using Maggie to blackmail him and Lauren into getting a divorce! Silence. Edwin's heart was filled with anger! Lauren also stole glances at Edwin. Her eyes were red, and a few drops of crystal tears slid down her cheeks. She was disappointed and hopeful at the same time. She was disappointed that her husband didn't do anything at this moment. She hoped that her husband could resist, defend himself, and shoulder the responsibility of this family, as a husband and a father! At this moment, Maggie, lying on the sickbed, opened her eyes. Her face was pale, and her lively big eyes lost their color. She looked at Edwin, who was being spat on by everyone, and murmured, "Uncle... it hurts..." Uncle, she could only call him uncle... Edwin was the young master of the Lion Guild! The future Lord! Yet he couldn't even recognize his own daughter!
