One of them even said, "Look, Mr. Bay—that loser is both incompetent and a sorry excuse for a person! Now that we've finally kicked him out, we can't let him back in, no matter what happens!"Everyone else nodded in agreement. They didn't just hate Jacob—they refused to let him return and threaten their present positions!Kenny sighed in exasperation. "Let me put it to you this way—Don Albert is so domineering in Aurous Hill, and he will personally restore Jacob to administrative vice-president if we decide to play deaf. And who do you think will be able to survive that pressure from him?!"Everyone traded glances as there was no question that Don Albert was indeed a big deal.Moreover, word on the street was that he was now considered a member of Eastcliff's Wade family.That meant he had access to their connections, and controlling the human resource department of the Calligraphy and Painting Association would be all too easy for him.That was when Ivy spoke up from beside Kenn

While Kenny was enthusiastically preparing for the night's dinner function, Charlie brought Elaine and Jacob to a restaurant near Thompson first. Claire was working overtime, and it would be very late if they waited for her to start cooking.As soon as they sat down, Jacob was sighing and muttering, "I really don't want to leave the house anymore… The trip to Dubai almost killed me.""That's because you wore yourself out over nothing," Elaine retorted. "Losing twenty million for spare change? It still hurts me just thinking about it.""Urgh, don't even start. Let me live another couple of years," Jacob groaned, waving her off. Then, he straightened up and turned toward Charlie, "By the way, do you think Don Albert can really get me back in the Calligraphy and Painting Association?"Charlie smiled. "It wouldn't be that difficult for him." Jacob nodded. "I'm satisfied if I could just return. If I can't, what am I going to do? What a bother…"Charlie ignored him and ordered some

Just hearing that Ivy was ready to take charge left Kenny annoyed, and he asked sarcastically, "Did you think things can't get any worse? Forget talking to them—I would lose my presidency of the Calligraphy and Painting Association by the time you're done!"Ivy wasn't upset despite his complaint. "Look, dear, I messed this up for you, so just give me a chance to make things right.""Fine! Then tell me, how are you going to start things off?" Kenny demanded. "Everyone in the hierarchy loathes Jacob, and his being gone was exactly what they wanted. They're never going to agree to letting him back, especially when his old position of administrative vice-president has been taken. Or do you think they'd willingly take a demotion?"Ivy shrugged. "Haven't you heard the phrase 'the king yet lives'?"Kenny sighed. "I mean, sure? It's about how rivaling factions in a monarchy never release news about a dead monarch until they have sorted out who will claim the crown, right?""Exactly," Ivy

Ivy asked before she knew it, "What's that supposed to mean? What did I do?"Worried that others outside might overhear, Kenny growled furiously under his breath, "It's all your fault for telling me to throw Jacob Wilson to the dogs! But the thing is, he's buddies with Don Albert again! And Don Albert himself called me just now!""For what?" Ivy asked, perplexed. "I mean, didn't you tell him that it was Jacob who embarrassed himself? Why would he call you instead?"Kenny snapped angrily. "He's demanding I answer for Jacob's dismissal! Why else would he call about that?""Oh…" Ivy was silent for a while, but she soon assured Kenny, "Just hear me out for a moment, dear—let's ignore what Don Albert said. I mean, he can complain all he wants, but he can't do anything. Your promotion is coming up soon, too, right?""Once you report in to the new unit, the Calligraphy and Painting Association is just a subordinate unit. That means the mess with Jacob isn't any of your business, and if p

Don Albert sighed. "You have definitely been dishonorable, but I won't make things hard for you either. By that, I mean I won't demand that you restore Jacob's position as the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Still, you need to at least afford him a mid-level management position."On top of that, I would like you to apologize to Mr. Wilson—after such a farce, a face-to-face apology is necessary.""Yes! Definitely!" Kenny promptly agreed, not daring to breathe anything that sounded remotely like a no.Nonetheless, a face-to-face apology to Jacob was easy—the mid-level management position was the hard part.If only he had never listened to his wife and blindly seized the chance to chase Jacob out of the Calligraphy and Painting Association…. If he had just stuck with the original plan to demote Jacob while promoting the other vice-presidents, everyone involved would be happy.Alas, he had missed that opportunity to keep everyone happy. Now, it was an uphill battle, and it was
Chapter 6653
Kenny absolutely did not expect his move to trick Jacob.He was at first sincere about keeping Jacob in the Calligraphy and Painting Association, but because his wife Ivy advised against it, he decided that it was not worthwhile protecting Jacob.Hence, he used the resignation email he asked Jacob to write and approved it like it were the real deal, thus expelling him from the Calligraphy and Painting Association altogether.He expected no consequences aside from Jacob's discontent, since what did he have to worry about when Don Albert was clearly not concerned about what happened to him?What he did not expect was for Don Albert to suddenly change drastically in attitude, demanding an explanation as to why Kenny had approved the resignation.Caught out cold and absolutely nervous, Kenny quickly argued, "It's not what you think, sir! I was just under a lot of pressure—I mean, you know how terrible the backlash against Zachary and Jacob's fraud case was! Countless eyes were on me a
