    As a housekeeper at the Jenkins family for decades, he deeply understood the importance of the man in front of him.


    Although Zachary Jenkins was an illegitimate child, the entire Jenkins family would be his eventually.


    Zachary looked at the skyscraper hotel, slightly squinting his eyes and fell into deep thought.


    He never thought that he would see Noah Jenkins again in his life.


    Molly Walker returned to the Leaford family, where she saw Jeremy Norman.


    He was chatting happily with the Leaford family members, especially James Leaford, who seemed to be very satisfied with him, while Zoey Lambert and Natalie Lambert were listening attentively beside him.


    From afar, Molly watched Jeremy Norman talk eloquently, thinking about what Zachary had said, and the questions in her heart gradually grew.


    “Ivy!” Jeremy stood up, smiling and walked quickly towards her.


    “You’re finally back. If you didn’te back, Mr. Norman might have been worried enough to call the police.” Zoey Lambert joked with her hand over her mouth.


    Molly looked at Jeremy Norman’s innocent, harmless, and refined appearance, thought about how he had helped Noah Jenkins, and her expression became somewhat indifferent.


    Jeremy Norman whispered, “Tomorrow is the birthday party of a friend of mine. He specifically wants you and me to go together. If you’re free, can you ”


    He didn’t dare to ask the rest of the question.


    Although everyone had epted the rtionship between him and Ivy, he knew that she had never admitted to it from beginning to end.


    Molly didn’t say anything.


    Jeremy Norman forced a smile, “If you’re busy, you don’t have to go.”


    Molly followed his words and nodded, “Okay.”


    Since Jeremy Norman had helped Noah Jenkins, she couldn’t help but feel bothered.


    Michael Gagher was her ex-husband, and more importantly, the father of her baby. Even if she and Michael had separated, she didn’t want anyone to nder him.


    Feeling her distant attitude, a trace of embarrassment appeared in Jeremy Norman’s narrow and long phoenix eyes, and he sighed softly, “Ivy, do you have any misunderstandings about me?”


    Molly was slightly taken aback, lowered her head, thought about his rtionship with Noah Jenkins, took a deep breath, and asked, “Do you know Noah Jenkins?”


    Capital City Grand Hotel.


    After Molly left, Noah Jenkins sat downfortably and began to enjoy his delicious breakfast.


    He dared to say those words because Michael Gagher was already dead. Dead men can’t testify. Unless Michael came back to life to expose him, there would be no me on him.


    Thinking about his younger brother who had been ying with him since childhood, Noah Jenkins’ eyes became cold and stern.


    “Younger brother, you must understand me in the afterlife.”


    If he didn’t do this, he wouldn’t be able to restore his identity, nor would he be able to exin why he hade back from the dead.


    Only by letting Michael Gagher bear this me could he formally restore his identity as the eldest heir of the Gagher family.


    At this moment, there was a knock on the door.


    Noah Jenkins looked up puzzledly.


    Molly had left. Had shee back?


    He went to the door, looked through the peephole, but only saw a dark area.


    Outside the door, the Jenkins family’s housekeeper covered the peephole, while Zachary Jenkins removed his mask and casually lit a cigarette.


    “Who is it?” asked Noah Jenkins.


    Housekeeper Jenkins smiled, “Someone ordered takeaway for you.”


    Takeaway?


    Noah Jenkins opened the door, and the corridor light poured in, stinging his eyes.


    The man outside the door had a handsome face, his eyes were as deep as the sea, with a high and sharp nose bridge. His dark, long coat emphasized his extraordinary nobility.


    Upon seeing him, Xavier Gagher’s pupils suddenly dted.


    “Michael?!”


    His whole body was overwhelmed by fear, his heart raced, lips paling.


    He subconsciously wanted to escape, but his feet seemed nailed to the ground, unable to move.


    “It’s been a while,” Michael Gagher said with indifference. “Brother, it turns out you’re still alive.”


    Xavier clenched his teeth, shivering all over. He tried to suppress the terror in his heart, his face filled with disbelief: “Why I thought you were dead! How are you still alive?!”


    Fear and anger gnawed at his every cell, like worms.


    A little demon in his heart roared furiously.


    How could it be possible for Michael Gagher to still be alive?!


    “How could I dare leave this world before my big brother?” Michael’s voice was casual, but it carried a maic and deterrent force.


    With a rumble, a buzzing sound echoed in Xavier’s mind, as if countless mosquitos were buzzing around his ear.


    Thinking about what he had said during the press conference, Xavier’s heart raced, his face red and hot, as he stutteringly exined: “At the press conference I ”


    Feeling as though his throat was being choked, he didn’t know how to exin at that moment.


    He had thought Michael Gagher was dead, with no evidence to the contrary. His word wasw. He never expected that his beloved younger brother was not dead at all!


    “Big brother.” Michael lowered his voice, his eyes cold. “You sacrificed yourself to save me back then, and I am grateful. I have been atoning for my sins all these years, but if you were alive, why didn’t youe find me?”


    Back then, when Xavier had supposedly died, Isabelle Richardson had suddenly produced a suicide note, iming it was written by Xavier.


    The handwriting and fingerprints on it were indeed Xavier’s. He didn’t doubt it for a moment and had been indulging Isabelle all these years, just to fulfill his big brother’sst wish.


    But he never imagined that his big brother was actually still alive


    “That suicide note was written by you afterwards, wasn’t it?”


    Xavier turned around, took out a bottle of wine, slowly poured it into a ss, and handed it to him, his gaze scorching. “Let’s talk while sitting.”


    “The fire back then, it was deliberate ” Xavier paused as he reached this point.


    Thinking of the hard times he had been through in all those years, Xavier’s eyes immediately turned red with anger: “Michael, I sacrificed my life to save you back then, and now you owe me one.”


    “I don’t need you to repay this life, but I want you to promise me one thing.”


    Michael’s face darkened, his voice hoarse: “What is it?”


    “I want to be the one in control of Gagher Group,” Xavier’s gaze was sinister, and his tone was full of arrogance. “You’ve been the CEO of Gagher for so many years. It’s time to give back what belongs to me.”


    Xavier’s cold words were like sharp des, tearing off the masks of both men.


    “I’ve already said my piece at the press conference. Let’s call it gratitude for saving you back then. As for the exact reasons, don’t ask anymore.” He looked at Michael indifferently. “You’ve already hurt me once; you don’t want to hurt me again, do you?”


    “Since I’m already dead, I shouldn’t be alive.”


    Xavier’s voice was very low, his words ice-cold like icicles.


    With those simple words, the strings in Michael’s heart were pulled taut.


    His once-admired big brother, whom he had respected, had changedpletely.


    “If I don’t die willingly, will you try to find ways to kill me?”


    Xavier’s face tensed, quickly denied, “I won’t.”


    Michael’s eyes cast down, he didn’t expose him but let out a cold sneer.


    “Michael Gagher won’te back to life.” He looked at the relieved person, his dark eyes narrowed. “But don’t even think about controlling Gagher.”


    “Don’t forget how our father died.”


    Xavier shuddered, his face turning deathly pale.
