CHAPTER 11: Are You Sure
Just then, Oliver walked forward and took out his business card. He handed it to Robert and said, "Mr. Meyer, my name is Oliver Cooper. This is my business card. I can understand how you feel. But today is Mrs. Bailey's birthday. Could you please let us finish the meal here? I'll pay a visit to you to show my gratitude." Mr. Robert took the business card and looked at it. He glanced at James and nodded. "Fine. Now that it's her birthday, I should not make things difficult for you on such a big day. You can have the room." He winked at James and left. Apparently, he agreed just because of James. But people didn't think so. After that, they gave Oliver compliments. "Oliver you're awesome. Young and wonderful! You've good manners. No wonder he said yes!" "Yeah. If James hadn't done that, he might have been harshly treated." I think Oliver's business card worked. He knew Oliver's identity, so he wanted to make friends with Oliver. Oliver agreed with them, but he just waved his hand

CHAPTER 12: Husband And Wife
"James, are you bent on making me die today?" Fumed Amelia, who was still defending Oliver. "You don't have the means and still dare to falsely accuse Oliver." "She's right James, you're out of line today, reproached the other guests. They all reprimanded him. Ava glared angrily at James too after seeing how angry her mother was. "James, apologize to Amelia now," urged Joseph. If James continued insisting like this, things could turn ugly. James understood he was a loser in their eyes. No matter how he tried to explain, nobody would believe him. He was also too lazy to explain. "Mom, I'm sorry," said James very reluctantly. But Amelia refused to accept his apology. "Follow me out," said an angry-looking Ava. She exploded the moment they stepped out of the VIP room. "James, you've utterly embarrassed me today," fumed Ava. It's been a long time since mom was happy and you've ruined it. James felt very helpless when he saw how angry his wife was. He pursed his lips. They was n

CHAPTER 13: The Mysterious Mr Meyer
"I didn't step in to help your legal case because of Oliver Cooper. I was asked by Mr. Meyer," said Mr. Fuller. The smile on Oliver's face froze immediately when he heard those words. The mood in the room also turned awkward and stifling. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up," said Mr. Fuller. Since nobody responded, he ended the call. "Mr. Fuller?" Repeated Joseph. He asked with a frown, "Who's he?" James continued to keep his head down and ate his dinner. His heart was calm like still water. Leo must have arranged this. Just then, the door of the VIP room was pushed open. Carlie horn entered the room with a line of waitresses. They were carrying trays of delicious food and top-quality champagne and red wine. "Are you Mrs. Bailey?" Asked Carlie with a huge smile. She conducted herself in a prim and proper manner. "Yes, I am," said Amelia, looking puzzled. She had no idea what was going on. Carlie gave a slight nod and all the gifts were placed on the table. "Mrs. Bailey,

CHAPTER 14: Collapsed Of Bailey Group
Although Ava was angry, there was nothing she could do about it. Those were her grandfather's orders so she could not change them. Besides that, she also has to figure out how to explain the situation to her parents. Ava went over to her parent's house. Immediately after arriving, she say on the sofa. She spoke haltingly, "Mom, I got something to tell you. You know... Grandpa has handed the project with Cartier over to Allen. I..." Before Ava could finish, she exploded in anger. "What did you say?" Amelia jumped to her feet in anger. "You clinched that deal! How could that bitch Allen take it?" "No, I have to talk to them about this." "What do you think you're doing?" Asked Joseph. He pulled his wife back frantically, "Dad has already decided. Are you going to argue with him?" "I..." Amelia was stumped after she heard what her husband said. Amelia felt so helpless. "Then... Then is our family doomed to be bullied?" She covered her face with her hands and burst out crying. "Yo

CHAPTER 15: An Angry Jackson Brown
"Mrs. Miller, Mr. Shawn Bailey would like me to inform you to attend the board of directors meeting," said Jane Garcia. The secretary spoke very politely. "Me?" Said Ava. She frowned subconsciously. She was a mere project manager of a branch of the Bailey Group subsidiary company. Her grandfather did not have high expectations of her. Also, she was not part of the main family. Those who were not part of the main family were never called to attend the board of directors meeting. When was she suddenly asked to attend the board of directors meeting? "Yes, Mr. Miller, please hurry over," said Jane urgently. "Alright. I'll be there as soon as possible," replied Ava. She was still puzzled. James saw the perplexed look on his wife's face and asked, "what's wrong?" He pretended not to know anything. "Oh, the assistant from the sales department gave me a call. She told me to attend the board of directors meeting," replied Ava. Then she said worriedly, Do you think something bad happened

CHAPTER 16: Diluted Equities
Vice president Bailey," Jackson said coldly as he impatiently glanced at his watch. "You have three minutes." Turner could tell that if Jackson was displeased with the results of this matter, the board meeting later would be greatly impacted. It is possible that the board meeting might even be canceled due to this. When that happens, Turner would not be able to answer to Shawn Bailey. It was possible that the whole Bailey Group might even collapse and cease to exist. Clenching his teeth, Turner turned to glare at Allen. "You bastard! How dare you act all arrogant and behave presumptuously in front of Mr. Jackson? Due to your actions, the Bailey Group had been brought to shame!" "I..." Allen stuttered as he looked at unhappily. He felt that he had done nothing wrong. However, Allen had no choice but to bow his head submissively as he said, "Yes, I will clean this up immediately. Just as Allen reached out to take the mop from the cleaner, Jackson's voice called out again. "I think

CHAPTER 17: Candidate For General Manager
"This is not something you need to concern yourself with," James said nonchalantly and added. "I have my plans." "Mrs. Miller, I understand," Jackson replied and fell silent, not daring to talk any further. Although James' identity had been kept a secret, he remained a decisive, meticulous, and calm person. His wits and cleverness had been well demonstrated in the events which happened at the Bailey Group today. Jackson was a smart person and knew that he should follow his rules strictly. He also understood that he should focus his attention on doing what James had asked him to do, and not make any wild guesses regarding James' intentions. "Oh, right." James paused for a second before continuing. "Tomorrow Shawn Bailey would most likely ask you to meet him in person. When that happens, do not show any eagerness in agreeing to any of his terms." "I understand." Jackson nodded his head earnestly. "Alright. There might be some hiccups tomorrow. You may contact me if anything signif

CHAPTER 18: Capabilities And Positions
"Sky, I also hold shares of the Bailey Group," Ava said modestly. "Besides I'm the overall person in charge of this project. If the project is successful, I will take credit for my work. However, if the project goes south, I will naturally bear all the consequences." Ava replied. "Oh really..." Angela snorted coldly after hearing Ava's words. "Don't think you can act smart or arrogant just because you are the overall person in charge of this project. Ava, you better think again. Know where you stand and the extent of your capabilities." Angela mocked. "Some people don't just know that they are making a fool out of themselves" Sky muttered. "Let me give you a piece of advice. It would be best for you to get lost, and bring along your loser husband. The farther, the better. That way you will not disgrace the Bailey family!" Sky barked. "It's so lively in here. "A male voice resonated around the room as the door behind them suddenly opened. Jackson briskly walked into the room. "Mr. S

CHAPTER 19: Car Purchase
"Grandpa, I think... Ava paused for a moment before continuing, "I think there is a more powerful entity that watches over the Cartier, or else Jackson Brown would not behave that way." Hearing that, a tense look flashed across Shawn's eyes. But it was soon replaced by relief. "Ava, I know. You've always been the smartest among my grandchildren." Shawn did expect that Ava would offer such an accurate insight. "I'm sorry for what you had to go through all these years." "No, I'm fine, Grandpa." Ava felt a warmness radiating from within her chest when she heard what Shawn said. "Your speculation is right." Shawn heaved a long sigh and went on, "There's a powerful entity behind Cartier, and it's the mighty Miller's organization." Miller's organization? Ava was shocked by his response Miller's organization had always dominated the business world in Miller's organization and possibly even the entire nation. Shawn said, "I happened to learn that Leo Meyer, the richest man in Sunshin

CHAPTER 20: The Proud Noah
For the past couple of years, Ava had been unwilling to let James into her social circle. She was probably ashamed of him. But James had met her best friend, Emma Thompson before. Emma was mean and vicious. She always pulled a long face in front of him. It's just an ordinary gathering with my friends," Ava said, keeping her head down. "Besides, Emma heard that I had been promoted to manager of the branch office and wanted to celebrate the promotion." "I see... Why did you ask me to come along then?" James asked curiously. "This time, everyone else is attending with a boyfriend or husband," Ava said in embarrassment. "So... I thought that if you come along, I won't be alone." Naturally, James could read between the lines as he listened to what Ava was saying. "Alright, let's go." James got into the driver's seat, started the car, and drove to Givenchy Clubhouse. It was the most renowned club in the city. Its customers were all members of high society. The building was magnific
