"No, it's indeed the top floor," the receptionist said.This statement left Olive Pierce dumbfounded.It seemed impossible! How could Isaiah Lowell, a deemed failure, possibly celebrate his wedding anniversary at the Crystal Restaurant, which was already booked for the evening?Boom!A wild thought exploded in Olive's mind like a thunderclap.Could it be… could it be that Isaiah was the mysterious person who booked the Crystal Restaurant?Daphne Easton, too, was in a daze.The Crystal Restaurant on the top floor had been booked half a month in advance. Even with Olive's influence, it was inconceivable to host a party there." Olive, is this related to Isaiah?" Daphne, gasping for breath, considered the possibility.Olive, her mind in a whirl, though finding it unrealistic, couldn’t think of any other explanation."Yes, Daphne. Isaiah asked me to bring you here." A sense of envy emerged within her. If it was true that Isa

After picking his men and leaving Ironford, Richard Moore sat in his car for a long time.Paul Rodriguez's recent busyness and secrecy suggested a significant move was underway, and Richard was keenly aware of this.Richard had heard that many figures from the grey area were eyeing the Westside project, with some even organizing workers to infiltrate as foremen.However, Rodriguez had remained unusually quiet.Richard suddenly realized that if Rodriguez dared to take on others and dominate Cresthaven City's grey area, then Rodriguez was someone he needed to pay serious attention to."Looks like I need to build a good relationship with Rodriguez. If he pulls this off, his power in Cresthaven City will be unimaginable."Meanwhile, at a certain clubhouse, Thomas Easton was flanked by two voluptuous women, sitting with a burly man."Mr. Anderson, have you considered the matter I mentioned?" Thomas asked Charles Anderson, another figure in Cresthaven Ci

That night, Thomas Easton and Charles Anderson met up. Charles was thrilled at the prospect of personally negotiating with Daphne Easton.Before Isaiah Lowell married into the Easton family three years ago, Daphne had a slew of admirers, and many men aspired for her affections.Their wedding had been a sensation in Cresthaven City, leaving many despondent and cursing Isaiah as the toad who ate the swan's meat.Now, with the opportunity to be intimate with Daphne – who had never been touched by Isaiah – Charles couldn't hide his excitement."You’ve done a great job with this. Come to me if you have any troubles in the future, and I’ll handle them," Charles promised.Thomas's eyes gleamed malevolently. Once Daphne was out of the picture, no one in the Easton family could challenge his position as the chairman.Thomas couldn't stand Daphne’s recent success as the project leader and her new car purchase. It grated on his nerves

In the past, Paul Rodriguez indeed didn't dare to touch Paul, not without Isaiah Lowell's orders. Besides, Paul had some significant backing, and without Lowell's protection, even if Rodriguez could kill Paul, he couldn't escape the consequences.But now, things were different.With Lowell shaking up Cresthaven City, Rodriguez cast all his reservations aside.He believed in Lowell's capabilities. Although scorned by thousands in Cresthaven City as a worthless son-in-law, Rodriguez knew well that this son-in-law was no small fry.Rodriguez stopped talking; he didn't have the standing to speak here.Seeing Rodriguez silent, Paul thought he was scared and said smugly, "Paul Rodriguez, since you know I have a powerful backing, why don't you and your men scram? Do you really want me to throw you out?"Just then, Isaiah Lowell suddenly stood up and walked towards Paul.Having seen Lowell's skills, Paul unconsciously stepped back, warily asking, "What do

Two figures entered the conference room; one was Paul Rodriguez, and the other, his head covered in a burlap sack, was unrecognizable.Despite the Easton family not being among the top echelons in Cresthaven City, they certainly wouldn't tolerate disruptions in their company.The matriarch demanded coldly, "Who are you to cause such a scene in our company?"After glancing at Daphne Easton, Paul Rodriguez finally spoke, "Madam, my name is Paul Rodriguez. I believe you've heard of me."Paul Rodriguez!The room buzzed with agitation. Rodriguez was no small figure in Cresthaven City, and the Eastons were no match for him. But why had he come here to cause trouble?"Mr. Rodriguez," the matriarch's tone changed immediately, addressing him with respect. "May I ask what brings you to our company?"In the social hierarchy, age didn't always equate to status.To the likes of Paul Rodriguez, the matriarch's authority in the Easton family was inconsequent
