CHAPTER 36
As soon as Mark stepped out of the airport, he led everyone directly into his car arranged by the mayor of Lake City, heading straight for the BayRock Club. Drake snapped back to reality, staring at Thomas in front of him. He swallowed hard, feeling the sweat on his forehead pouring down, dripping into his wound. The sharp sting jolted him awake. He walked up to Thomas, lowering his head and putting on a sincere expression. "Mr. Thomas, I was foolish before and made a mistake. I hope you can forgive me.” Everyone around was taken aback, unable to believe that the once arrogant Drake was now apologizing so earnestly. Wasn't so arrogant a few minutes ago? Why was he now so scared in front of Thomas? Mark was a big shot from Sunshine City, not just famous there but also well-known in Lake City. But from what just happened, it seemed that Professor Mark had called Thomas. How could that be possible? Looking at Thomas, it seemed like he had a very close relationship with Mark. Who exac
CHAPTER 35
Robby strutted around with an air of confidence that made it seem like Drake was his father. However, Lawrence was quick to pick up on the implications of his words. He was shocked to learn that Drake was the nephew of Professor Mark Taffy. When it came to Mark, there wasn't a single person in Lake City who didn't know his name. He had treated many powerful figures and was not someone to be trifled with.Noticing Lawrence's hesitation, Thomas raised an eyebrow in confusion. He leaned slightly closer and said calmly, "What's wrong?""Mr. Brown, to be honest, we can't touch this guy," Lawrence replied with a bitter smile, shaking his head. There was no way he could take on the people behind Drake. Mark may have been a doctor, but his connections were vast, with many influential figures among his patients. He was a giant in the medical field; just a stomp of his foot could cause a stir. A person like that was not someone Lawrence could afford to cross unless he was looking for trouble.D
CHAPTER 34
Poppy Hutton's gaze fell on Thomas, and all her insecurities vanished. With Mr. Brown around, she felt assured that nothing could go wrong.Suddenly, recalled what her former boss, Lawrence Cobb, had said earlier. If he was right, Mr. Brown's status surpassed that of everyone else present, so surely there wouldn't be any trouble. With a cold smile, she looked at the people before her and said, "Just lead the way already. What are you waiting for?"Seeing their insistence, Chloe lost her patience and turned to leave. Thomas and Poppy followed closely behind her. Poppy deliberately lagged a bit behind, discreetly sending a text to Mr. Lawrence. Before long, they arrived at the largest private room, which was opulent and grand, luxurious to the extreme. Thomas didn't care about the extravagance; he was focused solely on Ava and hurriedly kicked open the door.Chloe was taken aback by his rude action. She hadn't expected this loser to be so disrespectful. What if he angered the people ins
CHAPTER 33
Inside the club, everything was adorned with sleek black marble, exuding an air of opulence. However, Thomas was too anxious to appreciate the lavish surroundings, he was desperate to find out what had happened to Ava.As they stepped into the lobby, a stunning woman with fiery red lips and a curvy figure caught their attention. Dressed in a black short gown, she radiated an enchanting allure, captivating everyone around her. With a flirtatious glance at Ms. Hutton, she said, "Oh, what brings Ms. Hutton to our little corner today? I wonder what business could warrant your presence here."This vintage-styled woman was Chloe Gracie, the manager of the Club. Her unique charm made it clear that she was someonespecial. Chloe held a position in the club that was comparable to Poppy's status in her gallery. The only difference was that Chloe was the girlfriend of the club's elusive owner. While she could exert some authority within her realm, outside these walls, her reputation paled in com
CHAPTER 32
Ava was in a state of panic, unsure of what to do. Just as she was about to dash out the door, she spotted Luis standing there, a wicked grin plastered across his face. "Mrs. Bailey, where do you think you're going? We haven't finished playing yet. You can't just leave like this," he said, slowly closing the door behind him. Drake walked over, casually grabbing Ava’s leg and pulling her toward the sofa. She clung desperately to the floor, but the friction caused painful scrapes on her skin."Drake, be gentle! If you hurt her, how are we supposed to have any fun later?" Luis remarked, not out of concern for her well-being, but because he believed her skin was the main attraction. If it was damaged now, it wouldn't feel as good later. Hearing this, Drake nodded in agreement. "You're right." He released her leg and turned to approach her, a dangerous smile creeping across his face."Don't come any closer!" Ava cried out in terror, trying to push herself up to escape, but her body felt we
CHAPTER 31
The people around burst into laughter upon hearing those words. "Did you come here because you were fired from your job and What help are you talking about? "How can he even call himself a teacher? He's just ruining the bright future of our country's youth, making them more and more useless." Thomas listened to their harsh words, casting a cold glance at Andrew."There's no distinction between noble and humble professions. You haven't seen the quality of my teaching firsthand. Andrew, hearing the voices around him, was already overjoyed. He didn't even need to lift a finger; Thomas was being belittled by the crowd. A cold smile appeared on his lips. You should wake up to reality." Turning to Jane, he added,"When did the threshold of your exhibition hall become so low? Even a loser like this can get in? What are you waiting for? Hurry up and kick him out!"Jane, who was displeased by his words, replied, "I'm sorry, Mr. Andrew, but Ms. Hutton instructed us that no matter the status, e
CHAPTER 30
He stepped forward and wanted to hug Zia, but she pushed him away. With her striking blue eyes narrowed, she coldly said, "If that's the case, then why are you helping that worthless woman? If she fails this time, she'll be fired, and I'll rightfully take over as the director." Luis looked at Zia, who was fuming with anger, and replied calmly, "Don't be mad. My cousin asked me to do this. Besides, you're my girl. Who else would I support if not you?"As he spoke, his hands began to wander over Zia's body. She quickly swatted his hand away, glaring at him."Are you serious? I find it hard to believe you.""Baby, can't you feel my sincerity towards you? I'm just doing this for my cousin," Luis said, shaking his head in resignation. He then recounted everything that had happened, omitting only his desire to be with Ava. Sure enough, Zia's expression brightened as she heard this. Unable to contain her curiosity, she asked, "Is what you said true? Is it possible that your cousin will treat
CHAPTER 29
Emma seemed a bit scared of Emily, but after hearing her father’s words, in her childish voice, "Okay, Daddy, I will listen to Auntie. You come back early." After Thomas left, Emma glanced back at Emily, who was sitting on the couch watching TV, and walked over. "Auntie, this is my favorite toy for you to play with," Emma said, holding out the toy. Emily didn't even look at her. She frowned and impatiently interrupted, "Go play somewhere else, you little brat. Don't bother me while I'm watching TV." With that, she knocked the toy out of Emma’s hands. It fell to the floor. Seeing this, Emma felt tears welling up in her eyes. Emily coldly added, "If you cry, I'll smack you." Emma had no choice but to hold back her tears. Her eyes were filled with moisture as she sniffled and carefully moved to sit on the side. But after a little while, she came back and whispered, "Auntie, I'm a bit thirsty. I want some water." "Can't you pour your water? You're old enough, and you have hands!" Emil
CHAPTER 28
Mr. Holland already told his staff they were going to partner with Mr. Taffy. To achieve this, the entire marketing department of Taffy Family Properties was tirelessly working on proposals, eager to finalize the plan as quickly as possible. However, every visit to the hospital ended in rejection. In light of this situation, The H &M held a special meeting. During the meeting, Harry Poosh emphasized, "No matter what, we must secure this project. It's a fantastic opportunity for our company, and we cannot let our competitors snatch it away. I don't care what it takes; we must get this done." Hearing his words, the employees couldn't help but groan in despair. "But Chairman, this is just too difficult! I've been to that hospital so many times these past few days, and each time I've been turned away," one employee lamented. "Yeah, Mark Taffy is just too arrogant! I've gone there over ten times, and I've never even met the person in charge," another added, shaking his head. Seeing the
