CHAPTER 415-DISAPPOINTED "The head of the association is quite different from other countries because the rules in this country are different from the country you're from," the secretary said to Jeremy.This wasn't what Jeremy expected, why should one man have so much authority and do whatever he wants and no one questions his decision."The head of the trade association has the power to decide which company is suitable for a project. He can decide which contracts you can get and which you cannot," the secretary added.Jeremy had thought that California was not a good place, but he didn't expect New York to be any different."Why should the head of the trade association decide what project a company can or cannot get without any bidding for the project? That is not how things are done," Jeremy muttered.Since he came to the country, he has been disappointed by many things he sees. From the house auction, to the estate masters, and now this. He didn't find it funny at all that they wo

CHAPTER 417-THE SENATOR "I don't appreciate you calling me with multiple numbers, who are you?" Jeremy shouted into the phone, his anger palpable. He was practically frustrated as to why the number had called him several times, not understanding what the problem seemed to be, his confusion was equally apparent."I believe this is Jeremy Nathaniel?" The man on the other end asked, his voice trembling with questions.Jeremy hadn't been given the opportunity to speak to the person, but he wasn't happy with the fact that the person seemed to be speaking with authority, and more like he felt superior to him."Yes, this is Jeremy Nathaniel and you are?" Jeremy asked with the same confidence. He was super annoyed by the call and wanted to know exactly what the reason for the call was."This is the Senator and I called him because of something important," the Senator added, his words trembling with the authority and power he possessed.He knew that calling Jeremy out of the blue wasn't the

CHAPTER 419-THE DEAL"That fool, that foreigner's wife, was the one who humiliated my wife. What nonsense," the senator muttered inaudibly.He was very angry to hear that Jeremy's wife had humiliated his wife and removed her from her position, something no one had ever done.He was feared and respected in the kingdom. He was a high ranking senator in the country and his words were law.He was in charge of many projects, he could sign any contract with anyone he wanted and nothing would happen.His wife had cried so bitterly because of the shame she felt after losing her position among the women. He had vowed to bring Jeremy down in any way he could.He knew that Jeremy had few connections among the country's elite, so he would use them to his advantage to work against Jeremy."You made the best decision, Mr Jeremy," the senator said. There was no emotion in his words.He just wanted the Grandmaster and his cohort released so they could work together to bring Jeremy down.When he is fi

CHAPTER 421-REFUSALThe Senator's eyes immediately shifted to Jeremy's, as if he hadn't heard him, but rather Jeremy's refusal came as a huge surprise and he didn't know how best to react."What did you say, Jeremy? I hope you know that everything I'm doing is clearly for your own good, I wouldn't think of doing it if I didn't know you needed it," the Senator said, his voice clearly in disbelief.Jeremy's blatant refusal was something he was still trying to wrap his head around and he looked at him with clear disbelief."I don't see any good you're doing, all I see is a man trying to get a piece of my money," Jeremy replied, his voice thick with anger.He was so angry at the Senator and the absurd request he was making.He had thought he was asking for money, and that was something Jeremy was sure he wouldn't agree to, but to ask for five percent of the interest earned each month to be invested in shares was the most selfish request he had ever heard."A share of your money? I'm tryin

CHAPTER 423-RAYMOND "I should what?" Jeremy asked as if he hadn't heard Raymond, the request was actually unbelievable and he needed to hear it again."I'm offering you my company, Jeremy," Raymond said again.He noticed the look of disbelief on Jeremy's face and he practically understood why, anyone would feel the same way, so he wasn't shocked that it was coming from Jeremy."Why are you doing this? You're doing the same company as me, so I don't see why you shouldn't keep doing what you're doing," Jeremy said, trying to dissuade Raymond from the idea.The confusion Jeremy felt towards the men was almost palpable.He thought he had just put that behind him with the Senator, whom he had blatantly refused, only to come here to Raymond who making the same request.It was ridiculous the more he thought about it. It was as if the men had planned this before they came and he was a pawn in the game he didn't know about."I'm trying to help you here, Jeremy, and although you may not see it
