"Could you tell me who The Second Heir's name is?" asked Greg, which immediately made Victor’s heart stop beating.He didn’t expect that Greg would ask his name!"Damn… Why did this stupid tramp suddenly ask these questions? I underestimate him too much!" mused Victor anxiously as he was starting to regret his words about promising to talk about his good deeds.But not long after, Victor starts to recover from his shock as he laughs sinisterly, "Greg, are you stupid??" said Victor, wiping away his fake tears as he looked at him disdainfully."Tell The Second Heir's name? Do you expect me, his best friend, to spill his name to you? Tsk! No way! Don’t you know that someone as high as him keeps his identity a secret for some important reason, unlike you, a tramp who can be known by anyone!" said Victor, and Greg just nodded his head in understanding."I see, you’re right, but you can at least call him, right?" asked Greg again, making Victor once again shocked."Call The Second Heir?" gu

Madeline immediately fell into complete silence after hearing Greg's words.In all of her years working as the director of Vonicon, Madeline has never faced this kind of serious problem where the CEO suddenly decided to unilaterally terminate all the work contracts from a specific company.Moreover, the company that they ask to terminate has already worked with them for a long time!What did this company just do that made this Second Heir go this far? Did someone from The Hill's family just offend him?Madeline thought before she quickly regained her composure and said,"Okay, Mr. Von Ritcher. I understand. I will order all the staff to no longer work with the Hills, and I will also terminate all of their contracts now," stated Madeline as she rushed out to carry his order.

Kring… Kring… PIP [Hi, is he already taking over Vonicon? How does it go?] [So he kicked out The Hill?! Wow, what a great way to start his first day! How’s Madeline's reaction? As far as I know, that woman is pretty strict and a judging type, she must have a bad impression of him!] [Oh, so… Madeline like him, huh? Tsk, all women are same. Always get lured easily by mini attention.] [Alright, for now, let’s just stay silent and keep an eye on him. We just need to wait for the right time to strike. Anyway, I already sent the payment to your account, please check.] [Okay, that’s all I want to ask. I must hang up now, see you later.] PIP! *** "It’s great to know you, Mr. Von Ritcher, and I must admit that your idea about this project is brilliant. I’m really looking forward to working with you." "Same, I’m looking forward to working with you too." After escorting the new collaborator out, Greg went back to his seat to continue his work. But not long after, another knock was hear

"You know she has to work hard for her sick mother, and maybe do some "night jobs" to earn more," said the taller co-worker, making Mara furrow her brows.A night job? What did she mean?"Oh, you’re right, Joy!" exclaimed the shorter co-worker. "I completely forgot about it! Well, let’s ask others, then, hey James,are you—""Hey… Um, excuse me," Said Mara suddenly, making the two co-workers stop as they turned their heads toward her direction. "What do you mean by night jobs? If you're asking whether I'm free at night, I—""Tsk! Don’t you dare act innocent in front of us! Do you think we don’t know what you do every night?" accused Joy, which confused Mara even more. She honestly had no idea what her coworker was saying!Seeing her confused expression, Joy immediately snorted before walking toward Mara."Rumor has it that you used to work as a prostitute. They even say that you managed to get a job here because you seduced our manager in the bar! Hah!I never thought that you would us

"CHEERS!!!" CLANG! "Wow, Georgia. I'm so happy for you. I can't believe that you're finally back with him!" said Beth, wiping away her crocodile tears. "Yes, same with me. I'm happy for you," said Joy. "I can't imagine how miserable you must have been with that good-for-nothing husband. I have to admit that you really are strong, girl!" "Awww, you guys are so sweet. Well, enough now. Let’s not bring up that person. His life is already hard after my family kicked him out. Why should we add his misery by talking bad about him," said Georgia, pretending to be sorry even though inside, she was very happy! After a long delay, today Georgia can finally invite her two best friends, Joy and Beth, to have some girls night in order to celebrate her success in becoming Victor's wife and also, her divorce with her poor ex-husband, Greg.

It was already late when Greg and Mara finally left The Oldy Cafe. The payment was finally made by Mara, but Greg didn't mind with it since he could just contact his subordinate to increase Mara's salary. "Thank you for accompanying me, and I'm sorry that you must listen to my convide," said Mara, feeling guilty toward Greg. "No problem. Feel free to contact me if you have any problems," Greg smiled. "Okay, again thank you very much," said Mara, before she walk off from the place. After making sure that Mara was already gone, Greg went back into the cafe and walked to the table where Dylan sat. "Finally, you came. What's taking so long?" Dylan said, handing Greg a bottle of wine, which he accepted right away. "You didn’t even answer your phone." "Sorry, something came up. I need to take care of it first before coming here," Greg half-lied. He didn’t plan to tell Dylan that he just met Mara here since Dylan wouldn’t like it. The man already hated everything about Millen before

The clock showed 10:00, and in less than a minute from now, the flight gate to Ruoxia would be opened."I already settled all the office matters yesterday, and Dylan already confirmed that he’s already on Vonicon. There shouldn’t be any problem," Greg pondered, staring at his phone before refreshing it to ensure he didn’t miss anything.Unlike his previous business trip, this time Greg used a regular flight, which made it difficult for him to use his phone during the journey.Although it was a difficult decision for Von Rticher to let Greg fly using regular plane considering his status as their heir, flying on a regular plane was still the best option to avoid attracting public attention, given that he was hiding his identity.As for Greg himself, he didn't mind with that idea since it was rare for him to travel on a regular plane, and he was actually kinda curious about it. Besides, this mode of transportation would make it easier for Lawson to pick him up without the interference o

"It hasn't been long since the police uncovered illicit activities at the Live Club, an infamous nightclub that has recently come under scrutiny. Amidst the arrests made, one individual stood out—a seemingly innocent employee belonging to a well-known subsidiary company of GVR Company." "It's unbelievable! I can't believe Mara would be caught up in something like this!" "I know, right? She always appeared so innocent. Who would have thought she was actually working at a nightclub?" "Just yesterday, there was a rumor going around that she stole someone's husband, and now there's news spreading that she's involved in prostitution. Karma sure caught up with her quickly!" "Poor Joy. She must be shocked by all of this. She just wanted to take the new girl out after the office dinner. Who would have thought the new girl would take her to a nightclub?" These were the murmurs circulating among the employees at the GVR subsidiary company after a video of the nightclub raid spread through

Today, Joy strode confidently toward the office, a smug smile playing on her lips. The current situation pleased her immensely."Who would have thought things would take such a swift turn?" Joy mused, her smile widening.After learning Mara's dark secret from Georgia, Joy hatched a plan. She would take Mara to the Live Club, getting her intoxicated in the hope of eliciting a confession about her affair with Greg, Georgia's ex-husband.Joy intended to record the confession and share it in the office group chat to make her despised by everyone. That way, the scandal would lead to Mara's departure from the company, leaving Joy as the most dedicated employee and a potential candidate for promotion.However, just as Mara was about to answer her questions, the police unexpectedly barged in, much to Joy's surprise and at that moment, Joy believed her life would be ruined and she would be arrested for drugging Mara. But surprisingly, the police mistook Mara, who was under the influence, as a

Joy dismissed the first message with a scoff, her brow furrowing as she read the words on her phone screen. "Karma has a way of catching up with those who play the victim? Tsk! Who sends a message like this these days?" she thought, rolling her eyes as she dismissed it and refocused on her work, determined to climb the corporate ladder and leave her mark on the company.She couldn’t let a meaningless prank like that distract her.+++"Wow, Joy... I never thought that you're actually this type of friend!""Same here! At first, I thought you were just a competitive person. Who knows you're actually fun!""Haha! Well, that's why you shouldn't judge people by their cover," laughed Joy.Right now, Joy sat in the office cafeteria, having lunch with her new best friends, Sarah and Lisa. She had recently decided to change her circle of friends, realizing the importance of networking and forming connections in a competitive environment like GVR Sub Company.Though she enjoyed the company of h
