Seated around the table where Ethan was sitting were the sons-in-law of the Harrison Family.Compared to Ethan, however, the other sons-in-law were all wealthy and powerful figures — their statuses in the Harrison Family like day and night.While chatting merrily and toasting excitedly with one another, they did not even bother greeting Ethan. Handing each other their business cards, they completely ignored him as if he never existed in their eyes."Has everyone already arrived? Come, here's a toast to the rest of the day!""Brother Derek, that will not do as we should be offering you a toast instead."As Derek walked over leisurely with a glass of wine in his hand, the other sons-in-law of the Harrison Family stood up in a humble manner to curry favor. One after another, they revealed fawning expressions as they lifted their wine glasses for a toast.Derek was the son of Charles, the third son of the Harrison Family. As such, he was also the successor of the third branch of the famil

Clearwater City, Eastern District, Ning Group Building.Located in the center of the city, the building stood seventy stories tall and grand.The Ning Group Building — built in the most prosperous district in the city — also stood as the landmark of Clearwater City.Ever since the Ning Group moved into Clearwater City a few years ago, it has caused a great sensation throughout the entire East Sea Province.After all, the Ning Group of the Imperial City stood as the top aristocratic family in the entire Dragon Country.Arriving at the entrance of the building, Ethan proceeded to walk into the guest hall."Sir, may I ask who you are looking for?" The receptionist asked politely."I'm looking for your director, Norman," Ethan said calmly."You're looking for Director Norman? Do you have an appointment?" The waitress asked.Dressed in casual streetwear, Ethan did not look like someone who had the qualifications to talk to a big shot like Director Norman.As the spokesperson of the Ning Gr

"What? The corporation has already arrived at such a dire state? Charles, didn't you tell us that day before that the shareholders' dividends will be rising? You couldn't have been lying to us, right?" One of the shareholders who usually did not care about the company's affairs asked with a worried tone."Our stock market has collapsed? Even the channel merchants have terminated their contracts? Then how are we going to sell off the products that we have been stocking up?" One of the shareholders in charge of the jewelry and jade raw materials factory asked too in panic.Another female shareholder could not sit still and watch as everything collapsed before her. Since the current situation was related to her own interests, she could not care less about James and Charles's dignity as she questioned them on the spot, "James, Charles, what are the two of you who are usually in charge of the company doing? Now that such a big problem has occurred, won't the two of you give us an explanati

The next day.Riverside District, Sophia's house.The people from the moving company redecorated the house, and the family could finally move in again.After Ethan prepared a hearty meal, the entire family gathered around the table and savored each dish."We seemed to have been blessed by the gods themselves this time. What a satisfying ending to everything! After Charles fell along with his son, the enemies they've made over the past years took the opportunity to kick them while they're down," Helen said with great satisfaction. "I'm not sure who was responsible for causing the collapse of their family, but I would definitely want to thank them in person!"With a bright smile on his face, William then said, "Charles's family is far too ruthless. Having constantly created enemies in the industry, it appears that they've made a grave mistake this time by unknowingly offending a big shot. They brought this upon themselves.""They deserve what they got," Helen said as she puffed arrogant

"Natalie, you... you were the one who rejected all my previous drafts?" Sophia asked in utter disbelief of the turn of events as she revealed a conflicted expression. Despite the feeling of shame lingering through her mind, her heart surged with grievance and rage.Natalie's merciless words were simply too much."Even now, you want me to leave without even taking a glance at my design drafts?" Sophia questioned."I already rejected it! What can you even do? With your current level, I won't even need to look at it before throwing it into the trash can," Natalie stated without a care in the world.Sophia bit her lips tightly as her anger began surfacing on her face.The reason why the design drafts that she submitted over the past few years had always sunk like stone into the sea was all because of Natalie? What's more, she had even rejected every single one without even taking a single glance at them?Why would she do that? The tremendous amount of hard work put into the drafts day and
