Chapter 211 Emma's Revenge
"You've got the guts to say that, huh?" Emma was amused by Marcus. "I've debuted for a long time, and no one has ever spoken to me like that."At that moment, her male assistant whispered into her ear. She said, "Fine. Since the live stream is paused for the moment. What's with the holdup? Punch him! My fans can't see it anyway."The four men, who were lifting the wooden chair, surrounded Marcus while cracking their knuckles. Emma sat on the wooden chair, eating snacks while waiting for the show to begin.Before they began punching Marcus, she threw the snacks away.She was going to eat the piece of food in her hand, but she suddenly froze.She never expected her powerful bodyguards to fail their mission!Emma wasn't able to see how Marcus did that.

Chapter 212 Another Bad News
"Emma, do you know that you have to pay a staggering amount of money in compensation for terminating the contract one-sidedly?" Jill asked furiously."What do you mean that it's a one-sided termination? Right now, it's your employee that has slandered Emma. He even said that he could represent Phisteele Corporation to terminate the contract. "And now you're demanding compensation? How funny. I'm telling you, we will never back down unless that brat apologizes to Emma sincerely."Emma's agency's unyielding stance was putting Jill in a tough spot. The male assistant simply hung up the call as he was wearing a smug expression. "Do I have to remind them how much Emma's net worth is? She's not someone a small fry can mess with."Emma smiled. "Speaking of that, I should be grateful to that security guard called Marcus. I thought I was going to lose some followers after admitting my mistake on the livestream. "Who knew that I was going to be showered with compliments? The number of m

If she couldn't stave it off, the latest super auxiliary medical device would be a fiasco.The large investment made would go down the drain.She was very frustrated that she couldn't do anything to Marcus, the cause of the series of events."Marcus, you're suspended for a week."

Chapter 214 I'm Here to Pick Father Johnny Up
Since both Vivian and Jill were still infuriated at the moment, Marcus decided to crash at Phisteele Corporation instead of returning home.After all, Elijah's presidential office was spacious enough to house all the necessities. Staying there was as good as staying at a five-star hotel.Elijah didn't leave the company."Have you confirmed the time Father Johnny's flight is going to land tomorrow?" Marcus asked.Elijah nodded. "Yes, sir. It's 10:00 am. He will show up on time at Northfort Airport. I believe that it'll be big news that he's coming over here."Actually, Marcus was the person who invited Father Johnny over. Despite not knowing much about business, Elijah could guess the reason behind the invitation.Elijah chuckled. "Jill is like a cat on hot bricks these days. I am worried about her. I thought you were testing her. I didn't know that you've made early preparations. Celebrities and influencers like Emma are nothing compared to Father Johnny."Marcus said, "That's

Chapter 215 Father Johnny's Old Friend
As soon as Marius finished, the politicians and businessmen drew a sharp breath.Marius was basically declaring that he had invited Father Johnny over since he was the only individual who could do so as the richest man in Northfort.Still, Marius was surprised that Marcus didn't back down.Marcus said boldly, "I'll give you, the Pattersons, ten days' time. Ten days later, I want you to apologize to me in public. Otherwise, there's no need for your family to be in Northfort."Marius was baffled to hear that. He had been wielding power in Northfort for so many years, and no one had ever disrespected him, not even the people from the underworld.Yet, Marcus had the audacity to speak to him that way!Not even the governor dared to say that to Marius.The others were shell-shocked as well.After all those years, Marcus was the first to challenge Marius in public.Everyone let out a long sigh, inwardly exclaiming that Marcus had a death wish.Offending Marius was equivalent to be

Chapter 216 Father Johnny Wants to Be the Ambassador
Marius shook his head immediately. "No. That's impossible! Father Johnny is a national treasure. Why would he be old friends with that brat?"Cherry said, "Grandpa, see that Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended? I noticed Phisteele Corporation's logo on it. I think the person who picked him up works for Phisteele Corporation. Marcus must've learned the news of Father Johnny's visit through underhanded means."Thinking about it, Marius deemed that she had a point. "Father Johnny is a national treasure. Even I have to personally welcome him at the airport. But Mr. Steele asked a driver to pick him up instead of coming in person. Father Johnny coolly accepted it too! I guess Mr. Steele has something up his sleeves," he said softly."You're right, Grandpa." She nodded. "The Northfort Chamber of Commerce couldn't do anything to Phisteele Corporation's acquisition of Rudd Corporation overnight. Not anyone could do that."Although Emma's contract termination has caused an uproar, I don't think th

Chapter 217 An Influential Existence
Jill's heart surged to her throat when she saw her overwhelmed assistant stuttering.Jill recalled how Marcus drove Father Johnny away from the airport.Could it be that Father Johnny was in trouble?The issue with Emma's contract termination had yet to be resolved. If anything happened to Father Johnny, it would be a serious crisis for Phisteele Corporation!"What about Father Johnny?" Jill was on tenterhooks."Good news, Ms. Black!" The assistant finally collected himself. He could speak properly now. "Father Johnny has announced in front of the reporters that he's going to be our lifetime ambassador for the latest product for free!""How could this be?" She couldn't believe it. "Father Johnny is a national treasure. Why would he propose to be our ambassador, let alone become an ambassador for free forever?"She said angrily, "Sophia, stop joking around. This is a critical moment. Otherwise, you'll be fired."Even though Father Johnny went with Marcus, it didn't mean that Fat

Chapter 218 Jill's Pursuit
Jill frowned after hearing his request.It wasn't easy to make Emma set aside her pride for reconciliation. His request might render the collaboration impossible!When Jill was going to make up for what he said, Emma bowed 90 degrees at him without hesitation.Emma said, "I'm sorry. It was all my fault!"Jill was dumbfounded when Emma really apologized to him.However, it somehow made sense.Father Johnny was now Phisteele Corporation's lifetime ambassador—under his own proposal—and it resolved the company's issues.Now that Father Johnny had unconditional faith in them, who would dare to doubt the company?Even Emma's supportive fans were fazed.Phisteele Corporation received orders worth over 100 million dollars within one minute, becoming the market leader in its industry."What did you do wrong?" asked Marcus casually."I shouldn't have terminated the contract one-sidedly." Noticing his disdainful gaze, Emma added, "As long as you're willing to resume the contract, I'm w

Chapter 219 Talking Nonsense
This was especially so for Yvette and Michael. Their statuses in the Childe family had been elevated because of Zeke. Even Norman and Shirley had been nicer to them.But Lisa's bragging had allowed Marcus to steal their thunder. This made Yvette and Michael resentful."What's there to be proud of?" Yvette snapped, unable to stand Lisa bragging to everyone she met. "He was just a chauffeur for Father Johnny that one time. He wouldn't even have had the chance to do that if not for Phisteele Corporation!""Exactly!" Michael said. "But Zeke's not like that. He's a soldier who has the commander-in-chief's favor. He has a bright future ahead of him as a member of the commander-in-chief's personal troops!"He can see Father Johnny whenever he wants, unlike Marcus, who has to wait for others to give him the chance."Yvette's and Michael's words were well-received by the rest of the Childe family. Even Norman and Shirley couldn't take it anymore.Shirley said sternly, "Stop bragging about

"You're not gonna keep Father Johnny standing at the door when he's such an esteemed guest, are you?""Huh?" Norman and Shirley were the first two to return to their senses. They hurried forward and said enthusiastically, "It's such an honor to have you at our home, Father Johnny!""Go on, invite him in!" Shirley said."Yes, yes. Step inside, Father Johnny!"
