The glass doors of the conference room shut, sealing the tension inside. At the head of the mahogany table sat Nicholas Hoult, his hands resting on a stack of documents. After briefly surveying the divided room, he cleared his throat and called the meeting to order.Without wasting time on formalities, Nicholas addressed the main issue, the coveted invitation letter. "Now that we're all here, let's discuss the invitation letter. Both of you are powerful regional presidents. I want to hear your thoughts. What's the fairest way to decide who gets to attend?"Robert Depp slouched in his chair, looking bored and exhausted. He lazily raised a hand and pointed toward the opposite side of the table."Mr. Hoult said the invitation letter requires fair competition," Robert drawled. "I have no objections. But does Mr. Muniz have any objections?"Frankie Muniz let out a cold, sharp sneer, radiating pure arrogance. He casually adjusted his designer tie, leaning forwa

Robert Depp casually checked his silver wristwatch, unfazed by Lily's furious glare. With a soft chuckle, he said, "Arguing with me won't help you secure that invitation letter. You'd have better luck selling products on the streets than wasting time yelling at me.""It is my absolute worst luck to have a leader like you!" Lily Lohan snapped, barely containing her fury. She stormed out before he could respond.Robert made no attempt to stop her. Leaning back on the leather sofa, he watched her disappear with a knowing smile. Her anger was exactly what she needed to push herself forward. He closed his eyes and promptly fell back asleep.Outside the office, Lily pressed her back against the cool corridor wall and took a deep breath. She could not give up, and surrender was not an option. To her, Robert was nothing more than a wealthy slacker who acted however he pleased because the Depp family's vast fortune protected him.If Lily could somehow rise to Vice

The sudden intrusion shattered the joyful reunion as Brit Lohan pushed through the crowd of parents and rushed toward Robert Depp. Furious, she snatched Jenna from his arms and pulled her behind her protectively."I am warning you, do not ever come looking for my Jenna again!" Brit screamed, pointing angrily at Robert while ignoring the shocked parents around them.Robert felt the uncomfortable stares of the crowd, but the fear in Brit's eyes concerned him more. He lowered his hands in surrender and calmly said, "Please calm down. Let's go somewhere private and talk."Brit reluctantly agreed, and they moved to a quiet park a few blocks from the elementary school. Jenna happily ran toward the playground, oblivious to the tension between her grandmother and the man she called her father.Robert turned to Brit, who sat stiffly on a weathered bench. He awkwardly held out the expensive bags of chocolates and toys he had bought earlier."I bought these s

"Stop it right now!" Austin Lohan bellowed, his voice suddenly cutting through the chaotic panic in the cramped living room.Brit Lohan froze, the wooden broom stopping inches from Robert Depp's head. Her hands trembled as she lowered it, stunned by her husband's sudden command. Robert was calmly kneeling on the cold floor, skillfully inserting silver needles into specific pressure points along Austin's paralyzed, withered legs."My legs... they don't hurt anymore," Austin stammered in disbelief. The agonizing pain that had made him collapse had vanished, replaced by a soothing warmth. Breathing heavily, he looked at Brit and said, "Put the broom down and let him finish the treatment."The room fell silent. Brit, Jenna, and Austin stared in shock as Robert continued without distraction. His movements were precise and practiced, like those of an experienced medical professional, while his entire focus remained on the acupuncture treatment.After several mi

Three exhausting days passed in a blur.Lily pushed herself and her team to their limits, leading Mia and the other rookies from sunrise until nightfall as they visited beauty salons and endured countless rejections. The previous day, she and Mia had even taken a crowded bus to a neighboring county, spending hours walking from one potential client to another in hopes of expanding their network.Despite their relentless efforts, the team had managed only over five hundred thousand dollars in sales after three days.For inexperienced rookies, that was an impressive breakthrough that proved they had potential. Yet no one could celebrate. Their sales were simply too slow to secure the coveted invitation letter, and the gap between them and their rival seemed impossible to close.Meanwhile, Frankie's veteran team had been operating on an entirely different level. Using their extensive industry connections, they had generated a staggering two million eight hund

"What is the rush? Let's just sit back and enjoy the hot pot first," Robert Depp said, offering a warm, relaxed smile to Claire Hayes across the steaming table. The rich, spicy aroma of the bubbling red broth filled the private dining room, creating an incredibly comfortable and inviting atmosphere. "You have done me an incredibly massive favor today. The absolute least I can do is satisfy your simple request for a good hot pot meal."Claire smiled gracefully, gracefully waving her hand to dismiss his excessive gratitude. "Please, do not mention it," she replied with genuine modesty. "In reality, it is Mr. Depp who has helped me immensely. Because of your direct intervention, my Goldcrest Mall secured a highly critical investment that completely saved our operations. As a token of my deepest appreciation, it is only natural that I step up to help you in return. Besides, taking on a product order worth four million dollars is really not too much of a burden for us. Our shoppin

Lily Lohan delivered one final biting remark before turning on her heel and leaving Robert Depp's office. She slammed the mahogany door behind her, having no desire to waste another second with him after being forced to scrub his greasy dining table. Everything he had done only confirmed how unreliable she believed him to be.As she walked down the corridor, Lily bitterly thought of Robert as nothing more than a spoiled heir living off his family's wealth. He had used his family's connections to secure a powerful position, then abused that authority to bully hardworking employees. She was convinced that once Frankie Muniz won the competition, Robert's arrogant facade would finally collapse.When Lily entered the sales department, she was overwhelmed by loud cheers, applause, and excited chatter. Her colleagues were celebrating as though the team had already won. The cheerful atmosphere only deepened her anxiety.Mia Bennett immediately hurried over, her face pal

The grand conference room of Northgate Group was silent as Nicholas Hoult reviewed the latest sales reports. Seated at the head of the mahogany table, he frowned and turned toward Lily Lohan, who sat motionless, weighed down by three grueling days of pressure."Tell me the exact figures," Nicholas said. "How much has your team completed?"Before Lily could answer, Elowen Cole eagerly seized the chance to humiliate her rivals. With a venomous smirk, she announced, "They've barely managed over five hundred thousand dollars. They're still miles from the four million dollars target. It's honestly embarrassing to watch them try."Nicholas's brows tightened in disappointment. He looked directly at Lily."You only managed five hundred thousand dollars?"Deep down, Nicholas Hoult wanted to bypass the competition and simply give the invitation letter to Robert Depp's struggling team. But the corporate world was ruled by numbers, and their poor performance g

Robert Depp's handsome face twisted into exaggerated shock, his eyes wide and jaw slack as though he had just received earth-shattering news. Watching his ridiculous performance, Lily Lohan gave a bitter chuckle and silently shook her head. She had expected him to react this way, using a pathetic act to shift blame for his incompetence and laziness.Across the mahogany table, Frankie Muniz's team sat upright, proudly displaying their victory. Frankie looked especially smug as he shot Robert a mocking glance. He felt completely vindicated. He had always believed Robert's previous success with the Southgate Group had been nothing more than a lucky fluke, achieved through dumb luck rather than genuine skill or business ability.Yet Robert had shamelessly used that single victory to parade around the executive conference rooms for weeks, acting as though he were an untouchable industry legend.Now, the harsh, unforgiving light of reality had finally exposed the trut

"What in the world is this document?" Nicholas Hoult murmured. He took the thick stack of papers from Lily Lohan's trembling hands and began reading. As his eyes raced across the clauses, the color slowly drained from his face. By the time he reached the final signature, he remained calmer than Lily, but the shock in his widened eyes was impossible to hide."Is this actually completed?" Frankie Muniz stammered.The moment the words left his mouth, his arrogance vanished. Anxiety flooded his face as he snatched the contract from Mr. Hoult's hands and scanned the bolded figures and official corporate stamps.In an instant, Frankie froze.His jaw dropped, his face turning deathly pale, as though he had been struck by lightning.Seeing his expression, Frankie's team immediately realized something had gone terribly wrong. Their triumphant smirks disappeared, replaced by dread. The situation had clearly spiraled far beyond anything they had expected, lea
