Chapter 094 – Glenn’s Departure
******Glenn’s statement wasn’t loud. It wasn’t dramatic.Yet somehow, it managed to echo in the heads of everybody present more painfully than if he had roared. His nonchalance, his refusal to even acknowledge their pitiful state beyond that offhand remark, made their humiliation feel bottomless.Done with wasting even a flicker more energy on the matter, Glenn turned his attention lazily toward the Managing Director, who stood stiff and visibly dazed, as if trying to reconcile this indifferent man with the authority he wielded so effortlessly.Glenn pulled his phone from his pocket and held it out with the same disinterest one might extend to a shopping receipt. “Save your number here. I’ll beep you. If you encounter something you can’t handle… call.”The MD blinked rapidly, his mind racing to catch up. “I—” he stammered, startled out of his stupor only when Glenn’s fingers flexed in the universal gesture of impatience. “O-okay, boss!” he stuttered hastily, accepting the phone
Chapter 093 – I Said Petty, Not Stupid
******“Just leave them be.”The voice was soft, calm, and unhurried.It was heavily laced with lazy disinterest, as though this entire pitiful drama barely warranted acknowledgment.Yet despite its casual, disinterested delivery, the words sliced through the silence like a blade.Everyone went still... utterly motionless. Then one by one, their heads turned toward the speaker.In the next second, every movement stiffened and became laden with disbelief.It was Glenn.And at the sight of him, hearts skipped, stumbled, thudded painfully against ribs.But Glenn wasn’t finished yet.He yawned. Actually yawned. A slow, lazy motion, hand half-heartedly covering his mouth. His gaze remained fixed on the middle-aged man who stood awkwardly, mouth open as if preparing to protest.“Although I’ve said I’m leaving one hundred percent of the restaurant’s dealings to you, and that I wouldn’t interfere…” Glenn’s tone remained casual, almost bored. “…I feel that firing this lot over such
Chapter 092 – Just Leave Them Be
******The MD’s demeanor shifted with absurd speed.Gone was the fearsome, unyielding disciplinarian, and in his place stood the groveling subordinate from before, smiling obsequiously as though nothing untoward had ever transpired.The staff stared in stunned disbelief.Was this truly the same man who, moments earlier, had seemed prepared to reduce them to dust?Their mouths hung open, unable to reconcile the transformation. Was this the same merciless figure who had so coldly condemned them?But the middle-aged man paid them no mind whatsoever. He didn’t even glance their way. His attention remained fixed solely on Glenn, his posture low, his words reverent.Bowing deeply, he continued without waiting for Glenn’s permission. “Sir, after leaving you earlier, I reviewed the CCTV footage. I went through it thoroughly, and what I saw… their behavior was inexcusable.”He gestured sharply toward the trembling receptionist. “This one, for example… she abandoned her post the moment
Chapter 091 – The Employees’ Apologies
******At this moment, a pitiful, humorous scene was unfolding inside the restaurant’s lobby.Several staff members, who had once been proud and dismissive, were on their knees, trembling and sobbing pathetically.They were clutching at any shred of dignity they could still muster as they pleaded desperately for mercy before the middle-aged man, who stood tall and severe as though he were some wrathful deity passing divine judgment.This was not the same courteous, deferential man who had stood humbly before Glenn earlier with his head bowed, voice soft and filled with flattery.No, the figure who now loomed over these trembling employees wore an expression as cold and merciless as winter itself.His aura had transformed entirely, exuding such ruthless authority that none of the kneeling workers dared lift their gaze to meet his.It was almost laughable… this stark contrast between the fawning subordinate Glenn had encountered moments ago and the fierce, unforgiving leader now
Chapter 090 – She Doesn’t Sound Right
******By the time the so-called “meeting” ultimately concluded, her wedding date had been fixed on the spot without so much as a flicker of concern for her opinion.And with that, Irene had left the estate with a heart heavy enough to crush her beneath its weight.She had returned to her small, pitifully rented apartment… her so-called refuge, and there, alone in the silent confines of that bare room, she had wept.For hours, her sobs had racked her body, the image of the hell awaiting her flashing mercilessly in her mind’s eye. An eternal prison she couldn’t escape.If she could run, she would. But the family’s grip on her was iron. They held the chains, and she… she had never been the type to break free. They knew this and counted on it.And finally, when her tears had run dry and exhaustion had left her trembling, Avery… desperate, trembling, and cornered, had gritted her teeth and dialed a number she had sworn she would never, under any circumstance, call.After all, who e
Chapter 089 – Irene’s Bitter Experience II
******That’s right.The urgent meeting Irene had been called for was that they’d found someone for her to marry.All this time abroad, all those years estranged from them… none of it mattered.In fact, even after she returned from abroad, her family hadn’t given her a second thought. They hadn’t cared enough to ask how she had been all those years, how she had managed, or made any effort to truly know her. They hadn’t even shown a tinge of guilt for abandoning her.Instead, they had completely busied themselves with Avery’s marriage preparations, Avery’s pregnancy, and Avery’s life.Irene had been left to linger in the shadows like always, an afterthought in her own familyAnd now, when they finally showed interest in her, it wasn’t for love. It wasn’t for reconciliation. It wasn’t even for guilt.It was because they had found a man they deemed suitable for her. A man they expected her to marry without question.Avery had been stunned to her very core by this revelation, an
