Chapter 1036
Today, Selena decided to meet Nolan Thompson in person to renegotiate the price for TN Tower. This time, she wasn’t going to rely on phone calls or intermediaries. If there was any chance of securing the building, it had to be done face to face. Jaden had nothing pressing to handle that morning, so he went along with her. To him, it was just another meeting. To Selena, it was a critical move for Rift Group’s future. — Inside Nolan Thompson’s office, his voice could be heard through the half-closed door as he spoke on the phone. “Alright, alright, calm down,” he said impatiently. “We’re not short on properties. If Derek Hancock wants that house back, let him have it. It’s not worth the trouble.” On the other end, Mrs. Thompson’s voice was filled with anger and grievance. “You didn’t see how they humiliated us last night. That couple, Jaden Rift and Selena Verrick, I won’t let this go. I want them to regret it.” Nolan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he leaned back in his chair. “Coi

Ben hesitated for a moment before speaking, his excitement slightly dampened by reality. “There’s just one issue… we might not have enough capital to get things started.”Derek didn’t even think twice. He waved his hand casually as if it was nothing worth worrying about. “My company will back you. We’ll cover the initial costs, and you can pay it back gradually from your management fees. Don’t stress over it. If you run things properly, earning millions within a year won’t be a problem.”Those words hit Ben hard.Just minutes ago, he had lost his job.Now, he was being handed the chance to run an entire security operation, backed by one of the most powerful real estate figures in Ironvale.It felt unreal.“Thank you, Mr. Hancock,” Ben said, unable to hide the excitement in his voice.Derek chuckled lightly and shook his head. “Don’t thank me. Thank Mr. Rift.”Ben didn’t waste another second. He quickly led the other guards over to Jaden, all of them showing genuine gratitude.“Mr. Rif
Chapter 1034
Mrs. Thompson was furious, but deep down she knew she had no ground to stand on. What Derek Hancock had just done was harsh, even humiliating, but this was not a man she could afford to challenge. In Ironvale, Derek Hancock wasn’t just another businessman, he was the undisputed king of real estate, someone who could decide who stayed and who left with a single word.Her husband might have money and some influence, but compared to Derek, he was nothing. If Derek truly wanted to, he could crush her husband’s entire business overnight without breaking a sweat.Mrs. Thompson understood that clearly.If she refused to accept this outcome, things would only get worse for her.Much worse.Her arrogance from earlier disappeared completely, replaced by fear and resentment. She didn’t dare argue. Didn’t dare protest. Instead, she clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms as she forced herself to endure the humiliation.Before leaving, she shot Jaden a vicious look, her eyes f

The helicopter descended slowly, the roar of its blades drowning out every other sound. Dust and debris swirled across the ground as people shielded their faces, squinting upward in disbelief. No one expected this, not here, not for something like this.The moment the helicopter touched down, the cabin door swung open and a middle-aged man stepped out quickly, his movements sharp and urgent. It was Derek Hancock.The instant he appeared, the atmosphere shifted. People straightened instinctively, some even stepping back as respect, fear, and recognition showed clearly on their faces.“Mr. Hancock!”“Mr. Hancock is here!”Voices rose one after another.Solomon reacted the fastest. His face lit up with excitement as he hurried forward, almost bending slightly as he approached. “Mr. Hancock, what brings you here?” he asked eagerly, his tone filled with flattery.But before he could finish—Slap!A loud, crisp sound echoed across the scene as Solomon’s head snapped to the side. He staggere

Mrs. Thompson, Solomon, and the rest of the onlookers stared at Jaden as if he had just said something completely absurd. Calling Derek Hancock and asking him to arrive within ten minutes sounded like a ridiculous joke to them. Everyone in Ironvale knew who Derek Hancock was, the chairman of the city’s top real estate empire, a man whose influence stretched across both business and government. Even powerful figures spoke to him with caution, yet Jaden had just spoken as if he were calling a subordinate. It made no sense.Mrs. Thompson was the first to react. She let out a sharp, mocking laugh and folded her arms. “This guy has lost his mind. Do you even know who Mr. Hancock is? You think you can summon him like a servant?” Her eyes were filled with pure contempt.Dale followed with a cold chuckle, clearly unimpressed. “Young man, stop pretending. Don’t even think about using Mr. Hancock’s name to scare me. That kind of trick won’t work here.” His tone turned harsher as he spoke, makin

Mrs. Thompson wasted no time. She immediately launched into her version of the story, her tone sharp and exaggerated. Every word was carefully twisted. She spoke about how her “son” had been brutally killed, how she had suffered such an unbearable loss, and how Jaden had acted violently without reason.Not a single mention of her dog charging at Nora.Not a single word about the attack.Instead, she turned the entire situation around and even pointed fingers at Ben and the other guards, accusing them of standing by and doing nothing.“They watched everything happen and didn’t even try to stop him!” she added bitterly. “What’s the point of having security like this?”Solomon listened with a serious expression, nodding occasionally.But the moment she finished, his attitude shifted.Without even asking for clarification, he turned to the security guards with a darkened face.“You’re all fired,” he said coldly. “How dare you go against Mrs. Thompson’s wishes?”The words hit like a hammer
