Billy’s threat made me laugh. “Fire me? Those are pretty big words. I’ll give you a chance to do it right now…”I took Billy’s phone from him.After using his facial identification to unlock it, I searched through his contacts and found the number of the general manager of Stamen Real Estate, Simon Landry.“Didn’t you want to get me fired? Come on, let’s see how powerful you are.”I called the number and placed the phone near Billy’s lips.“You will regret this.”The call was picked up right after Billy said this. Simon’s lazy voice could be heard from the other end. “Anything the matter, Billy?”A smile immediately appeared on Billy’s face when he heard Simon’s voice. He chuckled and said, “Mr. Landry, I’m calling to check if you’ve received the premium tea leaves I sent over this morning. If you like them, j

“Well…”Billy and Susan looked at each other when they heard my question, but none of them said a word.It was clear that they did not want me to know what they had really been planning.I was not in a hurry, so if they were not willing to say anything, I could wait. I drank my coffee in a relaxed manner and smiled to say, “Since both of you aren’t willing to say anything, how about this? I’ll forgive the person who tells me the answer—which I already know, by the way—first. As for the other person…”My intentions were pretty clear even if I did not finish my question.I did this to sow discord between them.Just as I expected, both of them began contemplating it when they heard my words.Susan was the one who spoke up first. “Mr. Lang, I’ll talk! I’ll tell you everything! Billy was the scumbag behind all of this. It’s not enough that he has me. He w

The voice was Yvette’s.She had probably calmed herself down and was on the way downstairs.However, she did not expect to hear such shameless words coming from Susan the moment she walked downstairs.Yvette quickly ran down the stairs and gave Susan a vicious slap. “How shameless can you be, Susan? Do you even hear what you’re saying?”“I know you like the chairman, Yvette. If you can’t bring yourself to say it, let me say it for you. Is that so wrong? It’s just marrying the daughter of the family. It doesn’t matter whether it’s just you or both of us. With me by your side, I can even help you with the things you can’t manage.”“Enough!!!”I stopped Susan from continuing.This woman was getting more and more out of hand.I turned to Yvette. “Since you’re here, I’ll let you decide what you want to do with them.”“I

I clicked the instant messaging app open to ask Chris about what exactly had happened.However, Chris deleted the message right at that moment.I was quite speechless. “What are you doing, you rascal? I read that.”“Urm…”“Hurry up and tell me what’s going on with Nadia.” I asked.“Freddie, I sent that message without thinking. Just pretend you didn’t read it.”I could not figure out what Chris was trying to do. “What exactly happened? Why can’t I know about it?”“It won’t help you with anything, Freddie. It’s better you not know about it.” Chris added a series of smiley faces at the back of that message.“Stop stalling and just tell me. Do you want me to beat you up in school?”“Fine. I’ll send you a clip. Just watch it.”Chris sent over a video clip after that.I did n

I thought Nadia would be afraid of my suggestion.However, she puffed her chest up when she heard this. “Let’s go. Who do you think is scared?”“Urm…”I had no idea how to react when I saw her taking such initiative.I smiled with embarrassment and pointed to a bench at the side. “Let’s sit down and talk.”Nadia did not reject me. She nodded in agreement. “Okay.”It could have been that our previous conversation was too intense. Now that we were sitting on the bench, we both went silent.Nadia finally spoke up after quite a while. “Freddie, were you very worried about me just now?”“W-was I?” I immediately denied it. “It’s just concern for a classmate.”“You were. You were worried about me,” Nadia said happily. It felt like a sweet moment between a couple.I had no idea how to reply to her, so I

I lay in bed at home, thinking about how to help Nadia.They were just a small society, so they should not actually require a large sponsorship.Nadia would probably be able to win with one or two million.The problem I had now was how to give her the money.If I gave her too little, it would not have any effect. If I gave her too much, how would I explain the source of the money?I gave it a lot of thought but could not come up with a good plan.…I waited for a long time that night for Montana to come home.I sent her a message. “Hey, it’s getting late. Why aren’t you home yet?”Montana replied to me quite quickly. She was as prideful as usual. “Hmph, none of your business.”“Are you coming home at all?”“I’m not. I’m staying with my bestie!”I was a little disappointed to read Montana’s reply.I knew she wa

Roxy looked shocked on the stage when she saw Simon appear, but she quickly smiled. “Why are you here, Uncle Landry?”She picked up the microphone and said to everyone, “Allow me to introduce Mr. Landry to everyone. This is my Uncle Landry. He’s the man in charge of Victorious Construction Company and the one behind this sponsorship. Let’s give him a round of applause and welcome Mr. Landry to our meeting!”The crowd applauded right after Roxy said this.There was enthusiasm on everyone’s faces.“Mr. Landry is really rich. He’s giving out thirty million like it’s nothing.”“That’s true. Our President Pearson really is something. Mr. Landry must have sponsored the club so much because of her.”“President Pearson really is something. She’s so pretty and so capable.”The people next to me were applauding and talking about it at the same

Her words made me quite anxious.I took a sip of my drink to hide the panic I was feeling.“You’re Simon Landry’s illegitimate son, right?” Nadia said confidently.“Pfft!”I spat out my drink.I thought she had found out about my identity as the chairman of Stamen Group.This was a far-fetched guess that I was not expecting from her.“Am I wrong?” Nadia asked curiously.“You’re definitely wrong,” I replied, not knowing what else to say. “But it’s how these things usually unfold in television dramas. Your father is a rich man. He wants to acknowledge you, but you refuse. So, he can only try to reach out to you in various ways, one of which is through me.”“I think you should stop watching mindless television like that. It’s affecting your intelligence.” I rolled my eyes at her.“So, I was wrong?&

Young Master Zane's face turned ashen when he heard my words.He said to Lacey furiously, “Lacey, is there something wrong with your f*cking brain? Are you going to sit just because Freddie told you to? Why are you stooping so f*cking low? Get up, get up now!”“I...”Lacey hesitated to get up, but I hugged her tighter.I blew warmly in her ear and whispered to her in a very amorous gesture, “Be a good girl if you don’t want what happened before to be exposed.”I was referring to the last time she owed loan sharks and was humiliated by me.If this was exposed, she would definitely be in disrepute.Sure enough, after hearing this, she immediately became well-behaved and sat on my lap obediently, not daring to go against me at all.“You’re crazy, Lacey, you must be crazy!”When he saw Lacey accepting this so overtly, Young Master Zane's expression became unpleasant

“I just want to talk. Why are you so nervous?” Nadia asked charmingly.“Just spit it out now. I feel uncomfortable here.” I looked around and felt nervous in my heart.“Didn’t I promise you back then that I’ll give you a present after you help me take care of my problem? I’ve prepared it.” After she said that, Nadia took out a pink box tied with a ribbon.The box looked delicate and judging from the size, it could be a piece of jewelry like a ring.This box was so small so only that was possible.When I thought about this, I asked with a curious expression. “I am a man. Why are you giving me jewelry?”“You’ll know when you open it,” Nadia replied with a grin.“It’s not a ring, right?” I was having mixed feelings.Was this girl proposing to me?“Gosh, just open it.” Saying that, Nadia pushed the box into my ha
