CHAPTER 21
"How can this old man be so indifferent to his granddaughter? Treating a child like that is just too much," Thomas thought, taking a deep breath to control his anger. He turned and headed into the kitchen, hoping to lend a hand to his mother-in-law. Mrs. Solara still didn’t let him touch anything."Thomas, I can't afford to have someone like you around! The Bailey family doesn't welcome you at all. If you have any self-esteem left, you will divorce my daughter and go back to wherever you came from," she said. Hearing Mrs. Solara's harsh words, Thomas lowered his head and softly replied, "Mom, I'm sorry for what happened before." Solara merely scoffed and turned her head away. "Oh, please, I can't accept you calling me 'Mom'!"Her tone was still harsh, showing no signs of warmth towards Thomas. Just then, the doorbell rang. She shot Thomas a sharp glare, pushed him aside, and hurried to the door.As she opened the door, she was greeted by Andrew, dressed in a suit and holding gifts in
CHAPTER 22
He lowered his voice to ask, "What's going on? Didn't we already agree on this? Why suddenly say the exhibition can't go on as planned? Did something happen in between?"He had been boasting about this event, convinced that he could pull it off without a hitch. But now, out of nowhere, a problem had arisen. Andrew couldn't help but furrow his brow in frustration. Jack Bailey noticed that Andrew's expression was off, and a sense of unease crept into his heart. He leaned in, trying to catch the details of the phone call, but Andrew quickly moved out of reach."I'm sorry, Mr. Monroe, but our boss said he's not in a good mood."At those words, Andrew brow instantly knitted together, his features twisting in disbelief. This mysterious Mr. brown was being incredibly unreasonable. Just because he was in a bad mood, he was refusing to let him hold the exhibition? But Andrew had already made promises, and with the deadline looming, how could he explain this to everyone involved, especially to
CHAPTER 23
Victory turned away, continuing to walk forward, her disdain for the man behind her growing stronger. She had no respect for someone dressed like that.A homeless person?Victory felt a bit dazed. Surely she wasn't mistaken? Before they knew it, they were outside. Victory casually pointed to a group of people not far away and said, "Is that who you're looking for?"Thomas looked surprised. There, he saw a group of homeless people together. Victory voice rang out again, "Hmph, it's true what they say, birds of a feather flock together. They have hands and feet but choose not to work, just sitting here begging for scraps every day." As she spoke, she rolled her eyes in disgust."Sorry, you've got the wrong idea. I'm not here for that..." Thomas turned to the woman beside him, his voice unintentionally cold. Victory narrowed her eyes and said, "Why are you wasting your breath? Just stay put. Someone will come by soon, and whether they get food or not depends on their skills."As soon as
CHAPTER 24
Poppy Hutton knew that her former boss was a big deal, a well-known and successful businessman in Lake City, with countless companies under his name and connections to many wealthy individuals, including billionaires. Over the years, working closely with her previous boss had allowed her to meet many influential people, which had boosted her status and made her what she is today.Usually, she carried herself with pride, but she never expected that the seemingly ordinary-dressed man would turn out to be her new boss. For a moment, she didn't even recognize him, and now she found herself in a huge mess. Thinking about Mr. David made Poppy break out in a cold sweat. The last time she saw him, she witnessed how his expression shifted from arrogant to respectful. Poppy had never seen him behave that way before; he was always the one who looked down on others. It was clear that Mr. Brown held a much higher status than Mr. David.After that encounter, Poppy realized that if she wanted to mai
CHAPTER 25
She didn't like Mr. Dominic. It was one thing for him to eye her when he thought no one was looking, but his arrogant attitude often led to conflicts at work. What was worse was that he wanted to bring all his friends and family into the Art Fair, making it feel like a family reunion.Victory, who stood beside him, was one of those he had brought in. In less than a month, she had already climbed her way up to a supervisor position. Mr. Dominic glanced at Ms. Hutton, a glimmer of something flashing in his eyes."Ms. Hutton, what do you mean by that? Instead of saying what he came to talk about, he sat on the sofa, and Thomas couldn't help but feel a moment of pity for the shirt straining against the belly of this man, as if it might burst at any moment."This place isn't for you. Get out," Poppy said coldly. Thomas was right there, and this guy still dared to be so disrespectful. But instead of taking her seriously, he chuckled and turned his gaze toward Thomas. With a smirk, he said,
CHAPTER 26
Before long, someone brought over the documents. Poppy respectfully took them and walked up to Thomas, who was sitting calmly on a nearby sofa with an indifferent expression."Boss, here are all the documents you requested. Also, I've confirmed everything. Should I post a statement to fire the two of them?" Poppy asked. Thomas nodded casually. "Just put it up at the entrance." Dominic and Victory were completely stunned by this scene.The respect on Poppy’s face was not something they had expected. They exchanged incredulous glances at Thomas. They noticed a unique aura about him that was unlike the typical drifter, and recalling Poppy’s earlier behavior, they couldn't help but shiver. Could it be that this seemingly ordinary guy was Mr. Brown? With a thud, both of them dropped to their knees. Dominic cried out, "Boss, we were wrong! We didn't recognize you earlier. It's all our fault. Please, give us another chance!"Victory as trembling in fear. She couldn't believe that the person
CHAPTER 27
"Yes, I think you're right. It's good that the rules have changed. I've been unhappy with those rules for a long time," Andrew said, trying to ingratiate himself. Thomas shook his head in disdain at the sight of this guy's sycophantic behavior. He had expected Andrew to be a man of principle, but here he was, bowing to a woman and disregarding his dignity. What Thomas didn't realize was that while Andrew had made a few small achievements in business, he was nowhere near Poppy Hutton.Poppy was the general manager of the Art Fair. The prestige of the Art Fair alone was enough to command the respect of the elite in Lake City. Seeing Andrew's obsequiousness only made Poppy more irritated. She coldly replied, "Our Art Fair will never open its doors to someone like you, Mr. Andrew, who looks down on others. As for your previous request to rent our hall, I'm sorry, but we can't work together on that."Andrew's heart sank at her words. He had come here to resolve the situation, but instead,
CHAPTER 28
Mr. Holland already told his staff they were going to partner with Mr. Taffy. To achieve this, the entire marketing department of Taffy Family Properties was tirelessly working on proposals, eager to finalize the plan as quickly as possible. However, every visit to the hospital ended in rejection. In light of this situation, The H &M held a special meeting. During the meeting, Harry Poosh emphasized, "No matter what, we must secure this project. It's a fantastic opportunity for our company, and we cannot let our competitors snatch it away. I don't care what it takes; we must get this done." Hearing his words, the employees couldn't help but groan in despair. "But Chairman, this is just too difficult! I've been to that hospital so many times these past few days, and each time I've been turned away," one employee lamented. "Yeah, Mark Taffy is just too arrogant! I've gone there over ten times, and I've never even met the person in charge," another added, shaking his head. Seeing
CHAPTER 29
Emma seemed a bit scared of Emily, but after hearing her father’s words, in her childish voice, "Okay, Daddy, I will listen to Auntie. You come back early." After Thomas left, Emma glanced back at Emily, who was sitting on the couch watching TV, and walked over. "Auntie, this is my favorite toy for you to play with," Emma said, holding out the toy. Emily didn't even look at her. She frowned and impatiently interrupted, "Go play somewhere else, you little brat. Don't bother me while I'm watching TV." With that, she knocked the toy out of Emma’s hands. It fell to the floor. Seeing this, Emma felt tears welling up in her eyes. Emily coldly added, "If you cry, I'll smack you." Emma had no choice but to hold back her tears. Her eyes were filled with moisture as she sniffled and carefully moved to sit on the side. But after a little while, she came back and whispered, "Auntie, I'm a bit thirsty. I want some water." "Can't you pour your water? You're old enough, and you have hands!" E
CHAPTER 30
He stepped forward and wanted to hug Zia, but she pushed him away. With her striking blue eyes narrowed, she coldly said, "If that's the case, then why are you helping that worthless woman? If she fails this time, she'll be fired, and I'll rightfully take over as the director." Luis looked at Zia, who was fuming with anger, and replied calmly, "Don't be mad. My cousin asked me to do this. Besides, you're my girl. Who else would I support if not you?"As he spoke, his hands began to wander over Zia's body. She quickly swatted his hand away, glaring at him."Are you serious? I find it hard to believe you.""Baby, can't you feel my sincerity towards you? I'm just doing this for my cousin," Luis said, shaking his head in resignation. He then recounted everything that had happened, omitting only his desire to be with Ava. Sure enough, Zia's expression brightened as she heard this. Unable to contain her curiosity, she asked, "Is what you said true? Is it possible that your cousin will treat
