“Okay, stop talking to me about the exchange. I’m not in the mood to listen to it now. Has there been any news from the people sent out? Has Kobe been found?” Ryan unceremoniously interrupted the secretary’s report and asked about the matter that concerned him the most.

“Uh, not yet…”

As soon as the secretary answered, Ryan’s phone on the table suddenly started ringing.

But it was actually a text message.

“Joel Wallace’s people are preparing to burn Kobe’s corpse in the woods 30 kilometers southeast of Avalon. It’ll be too late if you don’t head there right now.”

Ryan’s pupils suddenly shook.

“What? Burning my son’s corpse? Are they planning to destroy his corpse and wipe out the traces?!”

Ryan suddenly sprang up and punched the table.

This sudden message was like a shocking thunderbolt striking the top of Ryan’s head.

A chill ran down his spine all the way to his feet, making him feel as though he had plunged into an ice cellar.

“No, this is impossible. My son is definitely not dead.

  • Breaking a vase

    Jane thought that Bill was displeased to learn that there was no auction, so she explained further, “Sir, I can confirm that there are no plans for an auction after both exchanges today.“But there are Emerald Garden exhibition halls set up in the venues of both exchanges. The items there are similar to the ones in our store, except that the prices of the items in the exhibition hall are slightly more expensive than the prices in our store out of consideration for the venue fees and other reasons. If you’d like to get anything, it’s more cost-effective to buy it in our store,” Jane said, fulfilling her duty.Bill’s face turned even uglier, and his eyes were about to burst with anger.Celia had been invited to the ordinary business exchange so she was extremely clear that there indeed wouldn’t be an auction after the exchanges.If there really was one, then it would have been advertised early on so that those interested would be able to prepare for it in advance.At this moment, even C

  • Making false promises

    ‘Does she really think I’m so rich that I’d just casually give her jewelry that costs several hundred thousand every now and then?... She should take a look at her face and ask herself if she’s worth that much!’Bill cursed his heart out at Nessa in his head, wondering what kind of reason he should use later to refuse to buy the things she picked.But he happened to hear her exclaiming happily.“Honey, look at this emerald pendant. The quality of the emerald is so much better than the one you gave me before! It’s so beautiful! I want it. It costs only around 1.4 million!”Nessa pointed at an extremely lustrous and translucent pendant, which was obviously made of top-quality emerald, in the middle of the display case.Her face was full of excitement.“Uh… this isn’t that nice. It doesn’t suit your skin tone at all,” Bill said with a frown.“Is that so? Honey, do you think it’s unsuitable because my skin is nicer than this piece of emerald? Hehehe. I know you like my fair and tender ski

  • A silly woman indeed

    “Dear customers, welcome.” A soft and tender female voice sounded, and a young woman dressed in the Emerald Garden’s standard uniform with a ‘general manager’ nameplate pinned to her chest walked over.When she saw William among the four of them, she immediately beamed with joy and surprise. “Mr. Bel…”Before she could greet William, she stopped because she had already noticed him shaking his head slightly at her, indicating for her not to reveal his identity.This woman was Jane, whom William had met in the Emerald Garden yesterday.She was initially only a trainee sales assistant. But due to her excellent performance and William’s request yesterday, she was promoted to the general manager of the Emerald Garden.Thus, William naturally became her benefactor.Jane was a smart person to begin with.As soon as she saw William’s gesture, she knew what his intentions were and immediately pretended not to know him.Instead, she started serving Nessa and the others.“Do you have anything yo

  • Emerald Garden once again

    “Wow, there are so many people here!” Celia exclaimed.She had been to the stadium before, but she had never seen such a crowded situation. It was almost like a New Year’s celebration.“Haha, today is a special day after all! Let’s go directly to the Emerald Garden shop. The things there are high-end, and most people can’t afford to go there, so there will probably be fewer people. We can go straight to the fourth floor to take a look. All the good stuff is there!”Nessa pulled Celia and walked straight toward the Emerald Garden, appearing familiar with it..But after taking a few steps, Nessa suddenly remembered something and turned around to look at Bill.She said coquettishly, “Honey, I accidentally chipped the more than two-hundred-thousand-dollar emerald pendant you bought for me from here…”“Ahem, is that so?” Bill coughed twice, and his eyes flickered slightly, but he still said generously, “Isn’t it just a two-hundred-thousand-dollar pendant? I’ll get you a new one later!”“Wo

  • A truly vulgar man

    Nessa was good at reading people from their body language.As soon as she saw that Celia was displeased, she took the initiative to walk forward, swing Celia’s arm, and say affectionately, “We’re just joking, Celia. I’m not really demanding an apology from him!“Look, you actually took it seriously and got mad at me! We’ve been bosom friends for so many years! Okay, calm down. It’s my fault, so I’ll apologize to you, okay?” Nessa said coquettishly, using the same trick she used to pull on Celia back in high school.Although she was full of disdain, she had just met Celia again after years, and there were still many things she had yet to show off to her.How could she fall out with her at this time?Seeing her best friend acting this way and William shaking his head to indicate to her not to mind, Celia decided not to be bothered about Nessa’s actions.Bill pursed his lips in displeasure, but he didn’t say anything.“Celia, there’s really nothing good in the small stalls here. Why don’

  • Picking offense for no reason

    Celia definitely knew about Vice City.She was very familiar with it because it was a subsidiary of Phoenix which was owned by John Stone.What does Nessa mean by mentioning Vice City out of nowhere?After noticing the bewilderment in Celia’s eyes, Nessa held onto her boyfriend’s arm and said smugly, “Bill has become the deputy general manager of Vice City at such a young age. Impressive, huh?“He’s here to attend the exchange on behalf of Vice City today! Let me tell you. If you want a boyfriend, you have to get one like mine, right?”As soon as she said that, William immediately had an extraordinary expression on his face.The man with the lewd gaze turned out to be the deputy general manager of Vice City?In fact, William really wasn’t sure who the current deputy general manager of Vice City was since he left control of Phoenix to John and trusted in his judgment. However, it was apparent that some bad eggs had managed to find their way into the company. After hearing what Nessa
