"Yes, I think you're right. It's good that the rules have changed. I've been unhappy with those rules for a long time," Andrew said, trying to ingratiate himself. Thomas shook his head in disdain at the sight of this guy's sycophantic behavior. He had expected Andrew to be a man of principle, but here he was, bowing to a woman and disregarding his dignity. What Thomas didn't realize was that while Andrew had made a few small achievements in business, he was nowhere near Poppy Hutton.

Poppy was the general manager of the Art Fair. The prestige of the Art Fair alone was enough to command the respect of the elite in Lake City. Seeing Andrew's obsequiousness only made Poppy more irritated. She coldly replied, "Our Art Fair will never open its doors to someone like you, Mr. Andrew, who looks down on others. As for your previous request to rent our hall, I'm sorry, but we can't work together on that."

Andrew's heart sank at her words. He had come here to resolve the situation, but instead,

    Hearing this, a well-dressed young man in the crowd frowned, clearly displeased. He shouted, "No way! It wouldn't be fun at all without Thomas. I'm calling Aunt Nancy right now to bring him over!"The others agreed. After all, Thomas was a well-known joke in their family, and every year they gathered together just to poke fun at him.With so many people present today, part of the reason was to celebrate the old man's birthday, but another was to see how the useless Thomas was doing. Everyone there relished the thought of belittling him. As soon as the call connected, the young man quickly said, "Aunt Nancy, I want to ask you something. Is Thomas coming to celebrate the old Dad’s birthday?Everyone is waiting for him!"On the other end of the line, Nancy's cheerful voice came through, "Don't worry, Robison. I'll bring him with me." This young man was Robison, the son of Aunt Nancy’s brother, and he was highly favored by his grandpa. Since childhood, he had been treated like a treasure

    When Nancy heard this, she couldn't help but curl her lips in disdain. Was Thomas really that foolish? Did he not understand the implications of her words?After a moment of thought, she continued, "If it's not going to work out, why don't you just quit your teaching job? Let my son-in-law find you something else. My son might not be good at everything, but he knows how to get things done. He's a general manager, after all, managing a whole team of employees. You see, when it comes to family, it's different. Nancy's words hung in the air, met with silence. The expressions on everyone's faces darkened, including Thomas's. Nancy had a way with words. Solara's face was equally grim. Because of Thomas, she had never been able to hold her head high in front of her elder sister. She found some truth in her sister's words, but for the sake of her family pride, she wouldn't dare let Thomas quit his job and have Gavin her sister's son-in-law help him find a job. That would be like trampling o

    Mrs. Bailey quickly put away her phone and watched as the luxury car gradually disappeared from her view. Only then did she hurriedly return home, still feeling flustered. She showed the photos on her phone to her husband, her voice tight with anger as she said, "I can tell that guy has been pocketing a lot of money. He acts like everything is fine on the surface, but behind my back, he's hiding things from me! Does he even care about me? He doesn't even respect me! No way, I have to teach him a lesson!" Mrs. Bailey's face was flushed with rage, and she couldn't stop her ranting for even a moment. Jack sighed helplessly. When his gaze fell on the phone screen, he couldn't help but blink in surprise."Are you sure this is Thomas?"The photo only captured his back, and with David looking so respectful, it was hard to believe that this was the same guy."Of course! I saw that guy get into the luxury car with my own eyes. It must be because he saved David’s life that he treats him with s

  • CHAPTER 92

    Thomas was completely unaware of the chaos he had caused. After dropping Emma off atschool since she had recovered from her surgery, he left her in Beatrice's care, feeling completely at ease. Beatrice was patient and kind, and even her daughter adored her.Just as he left the school, his phone rang. It was a long-awaited call from Emily."Brother-in-law, where are you? If you have some time, could you come meet me? I need to talk to you!" Emily's voice came through the line, urgent and eager. Thomas raised an eyebrow at her words. In the past, Emily would never have said something like that. It seemed that the last incident had made quite an impression on her. He pondered for a moment but decided to head over to where Emily was. After all, she was his wife’s sister, and if she was in trouble, he couldn't just ignore it. When he arrived, he saw Emily running towards him, her face beaming with excitement. But he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off-like a weasel wishing a

    Jack glanced at his wife and quickly looked away, a headache starting to form. This reckless woman was surely about to embarrass herself again, and since he couldn't stop her, he decided to let her be. ____At the office____ Ava returned to work. According to the arrangement she had made with her boss, she headed to the West End Hospital with Mr. Poosh. As soon as Essak spotted Ava, he eagerly extended his hand to shake hers before she even reached him. Ava was taken aback by his warm gesture, and even Henry looked surprised. He scrutinized Ava with a doubtful gaze, trying to figure out if Essak and Ava were old acquaintances. This thought sparked a bit of anger in him. Was Ava using this connection to pressure him into agreeing to her high demands for returning to work? Despite these thoughts, Mr. Poosh kept his composure. The success of this deal depended entirely on Ava, and he couldn't afford to ruin their relationship now. He suppressed his frustration and sat off to the side,

    Turning back, Mrs. Solara quickly pulled Thomas over to William Holmes."Mr. David, Thomas has always been a kind-hearted person. If you ever need him, he'll be right there for you without any second thoughts," she said, her tone overly familiar. Usually, Mrs. Solara treated Thomas as if he were invisible, but now she was acting as if he were her son. Everyone could see through her intentions, and Ava frowned in discontent. She couldn't believe her mother could be so superficial. David Torres was a businessman, sharp and astute; how could he not see through her motives?Feeling a bit embarrassed, Mrs. Solara's face flushed. "Mr. David, you're so busy. If you have things to do, please go ahead. I'll come by with Thomas to thank you properly another day," she hurriedly added. David simply nodded and turned to leave. As she watched him walk away, Mrs. Solara's eyes sparkled with excitement, as if she had just found a new treasure. She eagerly turned back to Thomas, pulling him into the h
