“One more thing, send an interview invitation to Aurora right away. No decisions should be made until she arrives. This is an order!”

The firm command came from Richard. He didn’t want to see Dharia seated as the project manager there.

Didn’t Dharia say that Richard was like trash? That Richard couldn’t give her what she wanted?

“I heard you mention Dharia’s name earlier. Did she call you?” Aurora suddenly asked from the second floor, looking down at Richard, who was standing near the kitchen.

Richard’s face looked far from happy. The man seemed to be suppressing his anger.

Aurora assumed that Richard was still unable to forget the failure of his marriage, so she tried to comfort him. “I can tell that she still has feelings for you deep down in her heart. Otherwise, she wouldn’t still be thinking about you even after the divorce.”

Hearing this, Richard laughed briefly and replied, “There’s no place for me in her heart anymore, only money, a villa, and luxury cars. That’s all. I couldn

    The loud voice immediately made people rush toward its source. A man dressed casually, with both hands in his pockets, appeared. He didn’t seem afraid of whoever he was facing. Beside him stood a woman in more formal attire. Her legs were slender, and her skin was smooth and pale. Her face looked very beautiful with elegant, light makeup.“Richard?! What are you doing?” Dharia asked, her brow furrowed, and her expression filled with disgust.People noticed Dharia’s expression and quickly began guessing who the man was.“Maybe he’s the son-in-law of the Nelsons family. A useless son-in-law. Look at his clothes!”“Who’s the woman beside him? She’s so beautiful. Why isn’t she a model instead?”Richard ignored the comments from those around him and didn’t answer Dharia’s question. He directly led Aurora to the interview location.Dharia blocked Richard’s path and asked again, “Hey, I asked you, what are you doing here?”Richard remained silent, but Aurora took the initiative to answer. “

    As soon as she reached the door, Dharia confidently pushed it open and walked into the interview room. She thought that this session would be just a formality and that she wouldn’t fail.“Hello, Sir! I’m Dharia Nelsons!” Dharia said, extending her hand.The interviewer was a middle-aged man, around 40 years old. He wore a suit and glasses. His expression was very serious with sharp, piercing eyes.“Oh… Dharia Nelsons?!” the man said upon hearing Dharia’s voice.Dharia lifted her head and turned around. “Yes, I’m Dharia Nelsons. I’m here for the interview regarding the project manager position. I...”Before Dharia could finish her sentence, the man cut her off. “You can leave now!”Dharia was stunned. She couldn’t believe what the man had just said. She asked, “Do you mean I should leave now and that the interview is over?”The middle-aged man frowned and looked at Dharia with an ironic gaze. “Over? Who said your interview was successful? I mean, you failed the interview!”“Do you unde

    “Diamond Group wants to expand into Rio Dio Country soon.”“But the market in Rio Dio Country has been monopolized by Skyler Group, which is in the top 10 largest companies in the country.”“This month, on the 15th, there will be a cooperation negotiation with the head of Skyler Group.”“Skyler Group’s profit margin is 35%, while Diamond Group’s is 15%. What can I offer here? I can make Skyler Group give up another 5% to us by the 15th.”“Please don’t doubt me, because I can do it!”At that moment, Aurora stood directly in front of the interviewer. A brief silence fell over the room. Light emanated from Aurora’s two eyes in the midst of a fairly bright room.At that moment, anyone would be captivated by the enchanting light in Aurora’s eyes, even overshadowing her own beauty.In such a situation, it seemed Aurora no longer needed Richard’s assistance. She could fight on her own for the project manager position.Soon, the middle-aged man’s expression changed drastically. He raised his

    As the secretary walked towards them, Richard laughed insincerely and said, “Yes, I’m very poor, I can’t even rent a single room at the Underwater Hotel. Let’s see what your birthday will be like on the 18th!”“Aurora, let’s go!” Richard said, grabbing Aurora’s hand, while Dharia still looked at them with a disgusted expression.“You and your close friend are requested to attend the Underwater Hotel,” the secretary told Dharia.Initially, Dharia wasn’t quite sure if the Underwater Hotel was really booked for her or not. But now it seemed it was indeed for her. If not, why was she being asked to go there?“Alright, tell Mr. Raylon I will definitely come,” Dharia said with great joy and a hint of arrogance, as if she were already superior to the secretary.Dharia couldn’t wait for the 18th to arrive. She and Aurora shared the same birthday, and she would be staying at the luxurious nine-star Underwater Hotel, attended by all the top officials in Ligos city. Meanwhile, Aurora? She might

    On the other side, Richard took Aurora out of Diamond Group and then looked for a place to eat.However, Aurora’s phone suddenly rang. It was Carmen, speaking loudly over the phone, “Aurora, do you have time? Come home for dinner.”Usually, Carmen never invites her to meals. Why the sudden invitation?Aurora knew the reason without needing to guess. She immediately declined, “No need, Aunt. If you have something to say, just say it directly. I know you hate me, so why pretend to be nice by inviting me for dinner?”Carmen was enraged. What did that child mean?Had she become bold enough to defy her now?Carmen showed her true colors, “Why are you speaking like that? You ungrateful child!”“Now that you’re a project manager at Diamond Group, the Nelsons family has a project. Hurry up and take it so we can work together.”From Carmen’s tone, it was clear this was an order, not a negotiation.Before Aurora could respond, Richard glanced at her and reminded, “Don’t forget how the Nelsons f

    Is it worth sacrificing Aurora’s happiness and life for this bet? Carmen and the Nelsons family are utterly outrageous.They would easily offer Aurora to a man in his 50s for their own gain. If Richard loses, Aurora’s life and happiness will be destroyed. Carmen would do anything for money, even if it meant selling Aurora.“No way!”“Anyone else is fine, but not Aurora!” Richard said.It’s not that Richard doubted he could win, but he did not want to treat Aurora as a betting chip, forever.“Wow... Are you not confident you’ll win? It seems you’re lacking self-confidence!” Carmen mocked him.“You’re pathetic, you poor man!” Carmen continued, with a disgusted look towards Richard.“Aurora!”“Can’t you see she’s completely useless?! If you live with her, you’ll only live in poverty forever!”In her heart, Aurora disagreed with Carmen’s words. On the contrary, she said firmly to Richard, “I agree to bet with her!”“What did you say?” Richard was startled and looked at Aurora in surprise.

    Richard had disappeared three years ago. And at that very moment, he had secretly entered the Nelsons family to marry Dharia. But just a few days ago, Richard announced his return. On the day of the announcement, there was news of a divorce within the Nelsons family.“Wait! Didn’t the Dwayne family go to Almolia city a few days ago? Were they there to pick up their young master? Isn’t that the day Dharia and her husband were getting divorced?”“Yes, that’s right! It was their divorce day!”“The chairman of the Skyler Group is very mysterious and unpredictable. Rumor has it, she’s still very young and beautiful. But none of us have ever seen her. She never cared about things outside Ligos city. But it seems she’s now involved in the Nelsons family. She even made a bet!”“There must be a reason!”“Yes, it seems so...”Everyone appeared excited, contemplating the matter.The big boss in Ligos city, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly spoke seriously. Everyone seemed to be paying close

    Yet the strangeness in Aurora’s gaze was so profound and intense that it could only be maintained for a second. If it weren’t for Richard’s extremely high level of vigilance, he would not have noticed that slight change in Aurora. “You don’t know her… That’s really strange,” Raylon murmured in confusion. “I thought the head of Skyler Group knew you and was aware of your identity. If not, how could she have initiated a bet like this?”“Moreover, in this bet, everyone would have assumed the Nelsons family would win,” Raylon added.Richard was also puzzled. After thinking for a while, he said, “Maybe she investigated this matter discreetly. Besides, someone from the Dwayne family came to Almolia City. That caused quite a stir in the whole city,” Richard said.Raylon nodded slowly, although no one could see him. Then his tone suddenly became much more serious.“Mr. Richard, recently our Diamond Group has been planning to go to Ligos city and expand there. And the biggest obstacle we hav

    “Richard...”“Richard!!” The Chief Medical Officer shouted Richard’s name non-stop. He was so shocked that his face turned pale.Then, he immediately started shouting orders, “Hurry! Quickly give Richard first aid. See what happened to him!!”The citizens who were still kneeling were even more frightened, their hearts trembling. In an instant, people began rushing closer to Richard.Meanwhile, Richard, who was lying on the floor, casually lifted his eyelids. Then, he gestured to the Chief Medical Officer while muttering softly.“Don’t panic... I just want to sleep for a while. Damn... I’m really too sleepy!”In an instant, tens of thousands of people collectively sighed in relief, silently thanking God that their hero was okay.Tears spontaneously welled up in the Chief Medical Officer’s eyes. Then, he spoke to the man.“Richard, you’ve worked so hard, and all your hard work hasn’t been in vain. Everything has ended just as we hoped. You must be exhausted from all this.”“It’s okay, R

    Deliza sighed softly. After that, she explained to the caller.“Sorry, this issue is an accident. Two days ago, the patients who were confined to the ward, initially, the situation was under control.”“But I don’t know why, suddenly, the windows and glass doors of the ward shattered. More than a hundred patients immediately escaped and ran into the streets, attacking everyone they encountered.”“That’s what caused the disease to spread so suddenly. But you don’t need to worry. Everything has been handled. We managed it ourselves.”“The situation is stable now. Since two days ago, only two people have died. The rest of the patients have recovered.”“After we rechecked the whole of Grimhaven City, if no more patients are exposed, it means the outbreak is completely over.”Deliza gave her explanation calmly, neither rushed nor slow. As the number one leader of Grimhaven City, she exuded an aura that could calm the world.It was enough to prove her immense capability and strength. Moreove

    After hearing Richard’s instructions, the doctors who had received the injection from him immediately looked at the syringe and nodded in agreement. What Richard had said was true.Before they injected the medicine into the patients, they had at least protected themselves with the antidote.If not, when they tried to inject the medicine into the patients, there was a chance they could fail because they might have already been attacked by the aggressive patients.Knowing this possibility, the doctors looked at Richard with admiration and awe. They hadn’t expected that Richard would not only focus on treating the patients but also prepare medicine for those who had not yet been infected by the strange disease.Without a second thought, they injected the antidote into their necks. After wincing slightly, they removed the empty syringes and looked at them.For some reason, after receiving the injection, their bodies felt much stronger than before. They then turned their gaze to Richard, w

    At that moment, all the doctors simultaneously lifted their heads, which had been bowed. Shock and panic were reflected in their eyes.Even Deliza’s subordinates, who always followed her, instinctively widened their eyes. Soon after, they also followed Deliza’s lead.“Mrs. Deliza! No! You are the highest authority in Grimhaven City. You cannot go there,” Deliza’s subordinate urgently stopped her.“What if something happens to you? What will happen to Grimhaven City? Mrs. Deliza, let me go instead.”Deliza raised her hand, and her subordinate was thrown back several meters.“Stay back. Since I am the one leading all the people in Grimhaven City., I am the one who must take responsibility for them. If I don’t take this risk, who else will?”“You stay here. If something happens to me, immediately contact someone above!”As she spoke, Deliza swiftly moved towards a group of patients still trying to force their way into the pharmacy room.Then, she grabbed two of the patients and quickly w

    “The strength of the patients at the beginning of the infection is three times greater than usual. As soon as we get close, we’ll be immediately clawed to pieces.”“Even if we request help from the Department of Defense to deploy troops, many of them will get infected too.”“This will continue on and on. The infected will multiply exponentially. We’re afraid that Grimhaven City will become a city of sickness.”“Mrs. Deliza, what should we do now? Can we really just watch them run out and hurt others without doing anything?”The voice of the staff member was filled with panic and helplessness. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone felt their hearts drop. Especially the doctors, who all simultaneously looked up to gaze at Deliza.At this moment, only the woman with the highest authority in Grimhaven City could control the situation.Deliza stood still, her expression cold. Her eyes stared out through the glass window. She watched as the patients ran amok in the streets.The sounds o

    “Recently, I received a report that there seems to be a contagious disease in Grimhaven City. Is this issue true?”Deliza knew clearly that this problem had already become a big one. Of course, she could no longer deny it. She had suspected that sooner or later, people from the higher-ups would find out about this news.Therefore, she could only answer, “Yes. But the situation is under control at the moment. I’ve found a doctor who can cure this disease.”“You don’t have to worry. Grimhaven City will surely be able to handle this outbreak, and it won’t threaten other cities.”The caller seemed a little surprised. They hadn’t expected anyone to develop a cure for this disease so quickly. After all, this wasn’t just any ordinary epidemic.“What? Someone can control the disease condition?”Deliza was slightly surprised that the person on the other end of the phone would break free and ask such a question. However, she quickly responded as calmly as possible.“Yes, I’ve found them. Before

    “We haven’t seen each other for a long time, Darling. I’ve been waiting for you to come!” Talyra said coquettishly.“Hm.” Albin replied in a flat tone, “How is Richard at your house? How has he been treating you?”Talyra became even more touched, almost appearing flirtatious, as she heard Albin’s concern for her. Laughing lightly, she answered his question.“Albin, don’t worry. My body and heart will only belong to you. From the past, now, and forever. Even if Richard marries me, I won’t let him touch me!”“He loves me too much now.”“Because yesterday, my mom told him to sleep in the warehouse. She wouldn’t let him sleep in the same room with me. He felt ashamed, humiliated, and was furious. He even hit my mom. His behavior really disgusts me.”“But for you, I’m willing to bear all that disgust.”After hearing Talyra complain about her feelings, Albin maintained his expressionless face. He had no feelings for Talyra.He had been in a relationship with her for over five years, simply

    After seeing the behavior of everyone, including the people from the Department of Justice toward Deliza, Richard immediately understood that the woman held an important position in Grimhaven City.With just a glance, she could make the doctors at the medical team kneel and apologize to Richard.That was not something an ordinary person could do.Moreover, today, she was able to come on her own to ask Richard to step in, indicating that the situation had truly spiraled beyond control.While Deliza was looking for Richard to manage the spreading disease, Albin was still in his place, isolating himself from the outside world.The man remained confident, waiting for Grimhaven City to fall into chaos. He was waiting for the right moment to appear at the last minute. At that moment, he would showcase his extraordinary abilities.Similarly, Talyra, who had been instructed by Albin to hold Richard at her house, was stunned when she heard that Richard had been taken away by the people from th

    Deliza’s gaze fixed on Richard, and it suddenly became complicated. The woman fell silent, but a thousand questions raced through her mind.The executioners at the Ministry of Justice were the most powerful people in Grimhaven City. And they weren’t alone.There were ten of them!A group like that could easily kill Richard in an instant. No matter how strong or great Richard was, he wouldn’t be able to escape from them.However, those officers told her that they were shaken by the pressure from Richard so badly they vomited blood???This was truly beyond reason!“Alright, I understand. Take them away,” Deliza said, raising her hand and signaling the officers behind her.Immediately, someone came to take away the officers who had been injured by the shock. Before they left, they stared at Richard with looks of horror and disbelief.At that moment, everyone there quietly swallowed and gazed at Richard in silence.Even Deliza had planted a suspicion in her heart. However, her facial expr
