"Who does he think he is?" Lady Carter smashed her cup on the floor angrily.
Chloe had arrived back in the Carter's mansion and hell broke loose after she relayed the information to the entire Carter family.Lady Carter especially, had been smashing everything she could get her hands on."My precious daughter will not work as a slave for that boy who was once a nobody!" Lady Carter further announced and gritted her teeth as she looked at her family's shocked expression."But mom! If Chloe doesn't agree to this then the Carter's group will become irrelevant and useless in the industry" Avery immediately retorted, she also didn't want her sister to work as a slave for her ex-brother-in-law, but she just had to make Lady Carter see the benefits from her point of view."Shut up Avery! We are the Carter's and we do not work for people…people work for us!" Emily hissed loudly at Avery, even though she had always been jealous of Chloe, she didn't want people to call her the sister of a slave, especially when the person in question was Authur Maxwell.Chloe just listened to their conversation in silence, how would she tell them that she had already agreed to be Authur's slave?She was lost deep in thought, she leaned back on the sofa and she could immediately feel her eyes well up with tears."She must do it or the Carter family will be as poor as a church rat!""We don't need that bloody bastard to make our company relevant!"Just as they were arguing a maid stormed into the room with a letter in her hand, she bowed her head before saying, "Lady Carter, the Omega company just dropped this letter for the Carter's group."Lady Carter collected the letter from the maid's hand and waived her off disdainfully.After Lady Carter saw that the maid was out of sight, her expression softened a little and she wondered why the Omega company dropped a letter for the Carter's group.The Omega company was one of the best companies in the country, it had a great reputation, and a lot of companies dreamt of working with them.Even the Carter's group was no match for them and the only reason why the Omega company partnered with the Carter's group was because of his friendship with Lord Carter, The owner of Omega company was Lord Carter's best friend, and even though Lord Carter was dead, they still partnered with the Carter's group."Who needs the Emerald Isle company anyway when we already have Omega company? I am sure they have something important to tell us and that is why they delivered a letter to us at home, maybe they want to increase our profit share." Lady Carter admired the letter in her hands, " here open it and read it to me." Lady Carter hummed as she thought of what good news the Omega company had for them.Emily collected the paper from Lady Carter and opened it, her face turned white as she read the content of the letter."What's wrong?" Seeing that, Chloe and the other family members stood up from their seats and went to meet Emily.Lady Carter snashed the letter and read it aloud, "What? Contract terminated? How dare they do this to us!"Chloe and Avery gaped in extreme shock, if the Omega company stopped partnering with them then no companies would want to work with them anymore.Soon their cellphones started beeping and Chloe checked her phone to see what was wrong."This is impossible! It's all over the news!" Chloe was amidst tears, the Omega company had publicly announced on the media that they would no longer be working with their company again.Soon all other companies started talking about their plans to terminate their contract with them.Lady Carter could feel her blood boil in anger, she dialed a number and waited for the receiver to pick up the call, before she said bitterly, " I hope this isn't real Mr. James Omega, I just received your letter and I believe you must be playing a prank on us haha""I am Mr. Omega and whatever I say is final, the Carter's group has stepped on the wrong toe and I do not want to be punished for being with the Carter's group." The voice was loud and the person sounded angry from the phone"We are friends with everyone, this is all a minor misunderstanding, why don't we have a peaceful conversation somewhere and discuss this…rather than taking it to the media." Lady Carter tried her best to convince the owner of Omega Company."Enough! The Carter's company has gotten me nothing over the years, you should thank your God's that I didn't do this sooner." The voice sounded a bit low this time."Mr Omega, please…" Lady Carter gave a long pause before she continued, "Have a rethink, we will…"Beep!The call ended even before she could say the next word.Emily, Chloe, and Avery kept quiet, lady Carter had never begged anyone but she did it to save her reputation and the company.Chloe thought maybe it was the right time to tell Lady Carter, so she cleared her throat and said, "Mom! I have agreed to work as a slave, I will do it for our family! Even though I would work for that filthy bastard!"Lady Carter just looked at Chloe and said no words, her ex-son-in-low whom she once hated was now above her.How could she let her precious daughter work for her ex-son-in-low?What would people say? Everyone would mock them and laugh at them.Even her friends would laugh at her!Lady Carter's knees fell to the ground and Chloe rushed to comfort her with a light pat on her back."It's okay Mom! I will do it!" Chloe gave her a sad smile.Avery smirked, she was glad that Chloe agreed to it.Latest Chapter
Chapter 77: Tables turn
Authur stared at the heavy wooden staff in his hand for a brief moment. He wasn't completely heartless. Looking at Jason’s face, he could easily tell how unwilling the man was to let it go. Giving this up was clearly a massive blow to Jason's life. Authur pulled out his phone, casually taking a clear photo of himself holding the staff while making sure Jason was fully captured in the background. Then, he did something that shocked both Jason and himself. Authur held the staff out and handed it right back to Jason. Jason stared at him, his hands trembling as he took the staff back. "Senior... you're... giving it back?" "I don't need the staff," Authur said calmly, adjusting his coat. "Instead, let's make a deal. You owe me a huge favor. When the right time comes, I'll collect it." Jason’s face lit up with pure joy. He was so happy he could barely contain himself, bowing deeply over and over again. "Thank you, Senior! Thank you! Whatever you need in the future, just say the
Chapter 76: The staff
It was the next day for the scheduled lunch meeting between Authur and Jason.Authur sat at the head of the massive dining table, staring down at the lavish dishes laid out before him.He was impressed by Jason's generosity.Jason had pulled out all the stops for this lunch. Every staff member in the mansion had been instructed to treat Authur like absolute royalty.Still, Authur didn't pick up his fork.He just sat back with his arms crossed over his chest as he casually observed the room.Jason, sitting across from him, noticed the untouched plate. He cleared his throat gently, leaning forward with a smile."Mr Authur, please eat," Jason urged, gesturing toward the feast. "The food will get cold if you leave it untouched like that. My personal chefs spent all morning preparing this for you."Authur snapped from his train of thoughts. He had been thinking about Josephine earlier.He didn't want to seem entirely rude so he gave a slight nod and began eating small bites.By the time th
Chapter 75: False accusation
1 second passed, 2 then 3…Still, she didn't open her eyes."Hey! What did you do to my daughter?!" Jason screamed.His face turned bright red as veins popped out on his neck.Jason grabbed Authur by the collar of his shirt, lifting him almost off the floor."She’s not breathing! You killed her, didn't you?!"Authur tried to be logical. "Wait... just give it a moment..." he managed to choke out. He shoved Jason’s heavy wrists back, wiggling free from the man's tight grip.He quickly dropped to his knees right beside the bed and pressed two fingers against the girl’s cold wrist.Her skin felt like ice, but under his fingers, her pulse was starting to thud.Though it was slow at first, it was getting stronger with every second that passed."Hah! I knew it! I told you he was a complete fraud, Mr. Jason!"The doctor stepped forward, a nasty smirk spreading across his sweaty face. He adjusted his white coat and pointed an accusing finger straight at Authur."Look at her! She’s not moving a
Chapter 74: Can he or Can he not?
Authur smiled satisfyingly to himself as he stepped inside the suite. The heavy doors shut behind him with a soft thud. He had successfully gotten access to Jason's space. His eyes flickered to the corner of his vision where the virtual screen usually floated. The [TELL ME] skill was dark and gray and it had a timer on it that said he couldn’t use it for another 29 days. His smile disappeared upon realisation. Too bad he had used it to make them believe he was the special doctor they were waiting for. Now, he just had to rely on himself and the healing skill the system had blessed him with. “Now…How hard can this be?” he whispered to himself. The room was huge and the particular area looked more like a house than a hotel room. There were gold frames on the wall and the carpet was so thick his feet sank into it. He figured there were more guards nearby so he stayed close to the wall. Just as he predicted, two guards were standing near a big wooden door at the end o
Chapter 73: New task
Brad clapped his hands together once. "Excellent job, Arthur," he said while forcing a half-smile. As Arthur turned away, Brad let out a small, reluctant shrug and muttered under his breath that it was too easy for Arthur and he’d only passed because the questions weren’t really difficult at all. He wanted to see how Authur would pass the next test. This time around though, he didn't give him a test of power just like available tests. He decided to go a bit extreme. He cleared his throat before speaking. "Arthur, you're just one step away from joining the F Force," he said. "Befriend Jason, the leader of all underdogs in the world. Once he gives you his precious staff, you'll be able to join the F Force at the highest rank. If you're having doubts, I'm afraid you won't be able to join a reputable organization like the F Force..." "Alright, give me a few days." Authur interrupted almost immediately. He gave Brad a serious smile before leaving. Authur hadn't heard about
Chapter 72: Riddles
Authur briefly glanced at the paper. His earlier smirk remained even though he noticed how strange the questions were. The F-Force was known for being strong, brutal, and powerful, yet the mind test before him seemed like something only someone with an extremely high IQ could solve. He had expected physical trials, tests of endurance or combat ability, but this was different. Still, he didn’t waste time thinking about it. He had only one minute to answer the questions, so he pushed everything else to the back of his mind and focused on reading the words in his head. “Crack the code, unlock the truth. But beware, for the truth is not always what it seems.” Brad, who was standing off to the side, kept a keen eye on Authur. He was waiting and hoping to see some sign of hesitation or frustration. Most recruits would have furrowed their brows. He had witnessed most hold their shaky pens slightly as they tried to rush through the questions. But Authur? He looked calm, almost
