I winked at Donna. "Want to come with me?"Donna nodded enthusiastically. "Of course! Your shows are always so exciting. I wouldn't miss it for the world."Donna grabbed my arm eagerly and pulled me along. After a few steps, she asked curiously, "So, where are we going?""The office of the manager of the Credit Department," I replied with a mysterious smile.The next moment, Donna practically dragged me toward the elevator. It seemed even the smartest women couldn't resist a bit of gossip.Before long, we were standing in Oliver's office. Karen, who was sitting on the couch waiting, locked eyes with Donna. For a brief moment, both of them looked surprised.Karen quickly masked her reaction, putting on a frosty expression. "Andy, you never change, do you? Always leeching off women wherever you go!"It was obvious she thought Donna was my new "sugar mommy." I smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying her accusation.Rich heirs born with sil

As soon as I finished speaking, Donna chimed in with a sly smile. "Mr. Johnson, adults don't need dignity. Your job is more important. Besides, who would even recognize you with your face covered?"Though it sounded like well-meaning advice, her words were laced with mockery.Karen's face darkened with anger, but since I had dirt on Oliver, there wasn't much she could do.Oliver, on the other hand, was extremely anxious. He looked at Karen desperately. "Ms. Moore, you have to help me!"Karen shot him a cold glare. "You're such an idiot. You can't even handle something so easy, and you still have the nerve to ask for my help."Even as she scolded him, Karen turned to me with a commanding tone, trying to assert her authority. "Andy, I'm calling the shots here. Let's just drop this."I sneered, "Karen, who the hell do you think you are? Who gave you the right to decide anything here?"Karen clearly hadn't expected this kind of attitude from me. Or rat

Donna and Lucy exchanged a glance at Karen, who looked confident, before turning to me with worried expressions. I, however, simply smiled silently, remaining calm and composed.Finally, the auction moved into the cargo ship segment. The auctioneer began the introductions, announcing, "The highest bidder wins. Each bid increase for the cargo ships must be at least 200,000 dollars. The first ship, Pioneer 300, has been in use for two years. The starting bid is 6 million dollars!"A two-year-old cargo ship was practically in prime condition. Before the auctioneer even finished speaking, bidders were already clamoring to place their bids."6.5 million dollars.""7 million dollars.""9 million dollars!" Karen immediately raised the bid to a strikingly high amount, silencing the room.I noticed Karen shoot me a smug glance, but without hesitation, I raised my paddle. "10 million dollars!"Karen sneered. "Andy, I told you, there's no way you're walking a

When I arrived, I had already received a message from William informing me that he and Karen had signed the contract. As I approached the door, I saw him shaking hands with Karen."Mr. Brown, I look forward to working with you," Karen said with a polite smile."It's an honor to work with you, Ms. Moore. However, I must remind you that once the contract takes effect, any breach will result in a penalty ten times the agreed amount. Additionally, given that it's peak shipping season, the clause states that even in the event of a breach, you'll still need to allow us to use the ships for free for two months."The difference between sea freight and land freight was significant. It's not something one could just stop and switch to another method. So, it was reasonable for peak season contracts to include such clauses.Karen didn't seem bothered. "Don't worry. At the Moore Group, we always honor our commitments.""Thank you, Ms. Moore, for your understanding," Will

I pretended to look a little anxious. "Hello, I lost my check and need to report it immediately. Yes, that's right... My name is Andy Lambert..."The process went smoothly. After I hung up, I turned to Lucy with a smile. "See? Easy, right?"Lucy stared at me, dumbfounded. "Wait, how did you do that? I had no idea."It wasn't surprising she didn't know. Girls like Lucy, who came from privileged backgrounds, were used to spending money but rarely had to deal with financial headaches. All the skills I had were drilled into me by Karen. If I didn't figure something out, I'd get scolded, so I learned everything the hard way.Lucy suddenly seemed to realize something and said, "I knew it. You're always so thrifty, never buying anything for yourself, and you put all your money into the business. So why would you suddenly give away two million so generously today? Turns out it was all part of a plan.""You make it sound like I'm living a miserable life. It's not tha
