After ending the call with Isabella, Benjamin turned on his phone's data connection and navigated to the group chat for his school. It had been quite a while since he had been active in class, and he wanted to catch up on the latest updates.Benjamin was still scrolling through the group chat when a series of breaking news headlines caught his attention:"Dorothy Foster Breaks Up with Maverick Stone""Business Class Irene Azuka Gets Intimate with Maverick Stone""Dorothy Foster Leaks Irene Azuka's Explicit Picture"These headlines were causing quite a stir in the chat, with his classmates discussing the drama in detail. "What? Dorothy and Maverick, those two idiots have broken up?" Benjamin smirked as he read the news. "He cheated on her? She deserves it, lol." He laughed, finding a certain sense of irony in the situation.Then he scrolled down further and saw the explicit pictures of Irene Azuka that were allegedly leaked by Dorothy Foster. This revelation left him shocked, as Irene
Queenie, seeing Cordelia, forced a smile and walked towards her. "Hi, I didn't expect to see you here," she said, trying to sound friendly.Cordelia's expression remained stern. She looked at Queenie and asked, "What time has the company's regulations given for workers to arrive here?" She then turned to one of the workers nearby."8 a.m.," the worker replied.Cordelia looked back at Queenie. "So did you carry out any task for the company before coming?" she asked.Queenie shook her head. "No," she answered."Why are you coming at this time then?" Cordelia asked with a straight face.Queenie's mouth twitched, unsure of how to respond. She had always come late because Marshall never reprimanded her for it.Cordelia looked around and asked loudly, "Who keeps the check-in attendance book or records?”A lady stood up and said, "I do, please."Cordelia nodded. "Check her attendance and tell me her time of coming in the whole of last week."Queenie was stunned. "Cordelia, I'm—"Cordelia rai
As Cordelia began reviewing the company's statistics charts, her expression gradually shifted from curiosity to clear displeasure. She noticed various areas of concern—shares were falling, stocks were performing poorly, and there seemed to be a pattern of unnecessary spending in various departments.She asked Marshall pointed questions about the state of the company's finances, trying to get to the bottom of the mismanagement. "The shares are falling rapidly, and our stocks aren't performing well. What's your plan to address these issues?" she asked, her tone serious and direct.Marshall squirmed in his seat, unable to provide a satisfactory answer. He mumbled something about market fluctuations and seasonal trends, but Cordelia wasn't convinced."And what about the unnecessary spending here?" Cordelia continued, pointing to a section of the chart. "These expenses are well above the allocated budget. Can you explain this?"Marshall hesitated, struggling to find an acceptable explanati
"Why don't you quickly get her married to the Hansens if she's actually going to give you problems?" Queenie asked.Marshall shook his head and replied, "Cordelia is no fool. If I try to rush things, it's not going to be funny. I have a plan which will be working well soon."Queenie nodded, expressing her frustration. "I'm pissed off by her actions, disgracing me in front of everyone. Hurry up and deal with her, please."Marshall reassured her, "You can leave. Don't worry, leave everything to me.”With a nod, Queenie turned around and walked out of Marshall's office.Meanwhile, at the Hansen family house, Raymond was left alone while the rest of his family was out. With the house to himself, he was engrossed in a game on his PS5 when his phone started ringing.Setting down the controller, Raymond glanced at the screen before answering. "Hello, who's this?" he asked."Hello, Young Master Raymond," a man's voice came through the line. "Good morning, sir." He mentioned his name to Raymon
As he lifted the lid, he was greeted by the sight of a sleek black suit neatly folded inside. The fabric looked expensive, and the craftsmanship was impeccable. Beside the suit lay a pair of polished leather shoes, perfectly matching the ensemble. A luxurious watch caught his eye, its gleaming face indicating precision and elegance.Inspecting further, he found a crisp white shirt and a silk tie, completing the sophisticated look. Each piece seemed to perfection, exuding sophistication and style.Finally, nestled among the attire, was an invitation card to the party, elegantly designed and adorned with intricate details.Raymond nodded in approval, impressed by the contents of his box. "Oh, nice. Tomorrow night is going to be a great day," he murmured to himself. His gaze then shifted to the other box, likely intended for Cordelia. Temptation gnawed at him, urging him to peek inside, but he resisted. "No," he decided, shaking his head. "Let me just give it to her so she'll wear it an
Evelyn pulled Benjamin into a warm embrace, holding him close for a moment. "I trust you, my son," she murmured, her voice filled with maternal affection. "Take care of yourself when you leave. I'll contact our connections to arrange for strong bodyguards to meet you there. Please make sure you use them and stay safe too."Benjamin returned the hug, a sense of reassurance washing over him at his mother's words. "I will, Mom," he promised, his voice sincere. "You should actually be the one going back to the States to continue your work. I'll be fine here.”Evelyn chuckled softly, her eyes sparkling with fondness. "Fine, I'll stay here for just about a week and then move back," she agreed, giving him a gentle squeeze before releasing him from the embrace.As Evelyn left the room, Benjamin's phone buzzed with a call from Ezra. He answered, listening intently as Ezra relayed the message. "Tomorrow, 2 p.m., Benjamin. Your first-class flight will be ready for departure," Ezra informed him.
As Cordelia cautiously opened the box, she was met with an array of carefully arranged items. At the top lay a stunning gown, It was a deep shade of midnight blue, intricately embellished with delicate beadwork and lace.Beneath the gown, she found a pair of elegant heels, perfectly matching the dress in color and style. Alongside them lay a dainty clutch purse, adorned with subtle metallic accents.Nestled within the folds of the gown was a small velvet box, and as Cordelia lifted it, she discovered a dazzling necklace, its pendant sparkling with an array of precious gems.Beneath the jewelry box, Cordelia found a sleek envelope, elegantly adorned with intricate designs. With trembling hands, she opened it to reveal a beautifully crafted invitation card. As Cordelia read the details, she realized that the event was scheduled for the following evening. Cordelia's frown deepened as she confronted Raymond, holding up the invitation card for his inspection. "What is this?" she demanded
Inside the trunk, a variety of supplies awaited Benjamin's inspection. Among them were an assortment of fresh fruits, carefully selected for their quality and nutritional value. Next to the fruits were packets of herbal tea leaves. Two large gas cylinders stood prominently, accompanied by packs of matches for fire ignition. Additionally, boxes of beverages were neatly stacked. The guards carried it and then followed him as he walked towards the old hut. Meanwhile,the old master was stepping out of his heart when he saw Benjamin approaching. As the old master stepped outside, he was surprised to see Benjamin, dressed nicely and accompanied by two guards. The sight of Benjamin, carrying various packages, caught him off guard. He had thought Benjamin wouldn't return after obtaining the martial arts books.Benjamin greeted the old master respectfully. "It's been a while, Master," he said with a nod.The old master looked at Benjamin in surprise. "I never expected to see you again," he a
