Chapter: a unique creation"Ethan, I didn't expect you to know so much about jewelry," Sophia said in a gentle tone as she looked at Ethan in a different light.Ethan simply smiled and did not say anything else."Actually, I had a design that I was very satisfied with a long time ago, but it was a pity that I didn't receive the opportunity to create it," Sophia said seriously."This design of the jewelry requires very expensive diamonds. However, neither did I have the qualifications to request such materials nor did the company accept my proposal..." Sophia said slowly with a look of pity on her face.Taking out an exquisite red wooden box from her drawer, she then lifted out a thick draft from inside."This is the one design that I am most proud of. However, I have yet to think of a good name for it," Sophia said and handed over the draft.Ethan took the document and analyzed its contents seriously.The more he looked through the design, the more it amazed him.After analyzing the draft, it was clear to him t

Chapter: a unique designerThe next day.Riverside District, Sophia's house.The people from the moving company redecorated the house, and the family could finally move in again.After Ethan prepared a hearty meal, the entire family gathered around the table and savored each dish."We seemed to have been blessed by the gods themselves this time. What a satisfying ending to everything! After Charles fell along with his son, the enemies they've made over the past years took the opportunity to kick them while they're down," Helen said with great satisfaction. "I'm not sure who was responsible for causing the collapse of their family, but I would definitely want to thank them in person!"With a bright smile on his face, William then said, "Charles's family is far too ruthless. Having constantly created enemies in the industry, it appears that they've made a grave mistake this time by unknowingly offending a big shot. They brought this upon themselves.""They deserve what they got," Helen said as she puffed arrogant

Chapter: lick the table like a dog"You want him to lick it clean and swallow everything back in...?"At that moment, Charles's expression twisted in fury as he never expected the acting chairman sent by the Ning Group of the Eastern Sea to be so domineering."Chairman Wesley, please have mercy on Derek. He's still young and does not fully understand the rules yet. Could you please..." Charles pleaded."Stop!" Wesley shouted as he raised his hand to signal Charles to shut his mouth."Ten seconds," Wesley stated as he looked at Charles and chuckled. In an attempt to restrain his expression, he proceeded to speak in a cold voice, "If you can't do it, Charles, you may take your leave. You will no longer have to come to Prestige Tower starting tomorrow.""I will send a team to settle the matters regarding the jewelry stores and the processing factories. With the professionalism of our Ning Group's team, it won't take them more than 24 hours to complete these simple tasks."As the number one secretary of the director in the

Chapter: the new chairman"What? The corporation has already arrived at such a dire state? Charles, didn't you tell us that day before that the shareholders' dividends will be rising? You couldn't have been lying to us, right?" One of the shareholders who usually did not care about the company's affairs asked with a worried tone."Our stock market has collapsed? Even the channel merchants have terminated their contracts? Then how are we going to sell off the products that we have been stocking up?" One of the shareholders in charge of the jewelry and jade raw materials factory asked too in panic.Another female shareholder could not sit still and watch as everything collapsed before her. Since the current situation was related to her own interests, she could not care less about James and Charles's dignity as she questioned them on the spot, "James, Charles, what are the two of you who are usually in charge of the company doing? Now that such a big problem has occurred, won't the two of you give us an explanati

Chapter: they panicAt the number one hospital in Clearwater City...Ethan quickly rushed over to room 608."Ethan, how could you not be aware of such a big thing that happened in the family? Where did you even go during this time?" Helen stood up and scolded him."Look, everything that happened to our family was because you offended someone!" Helen stated with resentment and continued blaming everything on Ethan.Despite receiving that barrage of words, Ethan remained silent as he simply looked towards the hospital bed. Lying on the bed was his father-in-law, William. Wearing a worried expression, his entire face was filled with bruises while his hands were wrapped in gauze.Sophia sat next to the bed with a haggard look on her face, looking as if her soul had been sucked away from her body."Father-in-law, Sophia, where are you hurt?" Ethan asked with an anxious tone."It's just some superficial wounds. Nothing too serious," William replied.Sophia said, "I'm fine. Dad argued with the workers and got b
