When they got home, the family was filled with joy.

Mia had obtained the contract from the Delany Group and was about to become the general manager of the Mill Group.

Her parents were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes.

For years, the Mil family had looked down on them, but now they could finally hold their heads high!

In their good mood, Mia's parents didn't feel as annoyed by Alan as before.

Her mother said happily, "Oh, I'm so happy today. My daughter is really extraordinary!"

Then she looked at Alan and smiled rarely. "Alan, you also deserve credit for inspiring Mia. You don't have to cook today.

Let's go to a restaurant and have a good meal!"

Mia smiled and said, "Then let's go to the Kempinski and have Western food!"

Her mother blurted out, "Isn't that too expensive? It will cost more than a thousand yuan per person, won't it?"

Mia smiled and said, "Mom, the general manager's salary is really high. It's a million yuan a year."

"Wow!" Her mother clapped her hands happily and said, "That's great!

Our Mia has finally made a name for herself!"

Then she said, "But you have to give at least 70% of your future salary to mom.

You young people don't understand the importance of financial management. It's definitely more reliable for mom to keep your money than for you to save it yourself!"

Mia nodded immediately and smiled, "Okay, mom. I'll give it to you every month."

But let's make it clear that you can't always scold Alan from now on.

After all, he is your son-in-law!"

Her mother beamed with joy and said, "Okay! For your sake, mom will try to say less about him from now on!"

While the family of four was having a meal at the Kempinski, Rod was sulking at home.

He also saw the announcement on the official website of the Delaney Group, and felt extremely depressed.

It was impossible for Mia to obtain the contract of the Delaney Group. However, unexpectedly, she successfully signed a contract worth 60 million US dollars.

Remembering that he had said some harsh words at her home yesterday, he felt like he had slapped himself in the face.

Carlson also called to complain to him. As soon as he answered the phone, Carlson said, "Rod, you're really not being fair!

I've been creating opportunities for you all along, but in the end, you helped her get the contract from the Delany Group.

 Aren't you making me look bad?"

Rod felt really innocent. What? He hadn't helped Mia at all!

At this moment, Carlson asked again, "Rod, tell me the truth. Did you sleep with Mia?"

Rod was too embarrassed to deny it.

If he said he had nothing to do with all this, wouldn't it be like admitting that he was incompetent?

So he mumbled, "Yeah, I'm sorry, Carlson. I'll definitely make it up to you if I get the chance in the future."

"I knew it!" Carlson sighed.

Then he asked, "Rod, is my cousin still a virgin?"

She hasn't been touched by that good-for-nothing, has she?

When Rod heard this, he was overjoyed.

Great! Mia is still a virgin!

Then he might as well claim publicly that he had slept with her. In this way, he could also sow discord between her and her husband.

With this in mind, he smiled and said to Carlson, "Carlson, your cousin is indeed a virgin. It was really great having sex with her. Hahaha!"

Carlson said pitifully, "Then you have to help me more in the future!"

"Don't worry!" Rod readily agreed.

After hanging up on Carlson, Rod's father suddenly called.

As soon as the call connected, he blurted out, "Rod, something's wrong!

The Delaney Group has suspended all cooperation with us!

Have you offended anyone in these past few days?

Upon hearing this, Rod felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He blurted out, "What's going on, Dad?

I haven't offended anyone these days! Have you offended anyone?

Rod's father said dejectedly, "I haven't either!

I've been at the company these days and haven't gone out to offend anyone...

Rod said nervously, "Oh, Dad, could it be that the newly appointed chairman of the Delaney Group is planning to reshuffle the deck?

Rod's father suddenly realized and said, "It's highly likely! Now that the new chairman has taken over, I haven't had the opportunity to pay a visit yet.

I've mentioned it to Vivian several times, but she keeps saying that their chairman doesn't receive guests.

Rod asked, "So, what should we do?

His father thought for a moment and said, "Ah, right. The Mill family is holding a banquet tomorrow night.

It's said that they've invited the chairman of the Delaney Group. Let's go and find an opportunity to meet him!

Okay! Rod immediately said, "Let's go together tomorrow!

Today, it's the most glorious moment for the Mill family.

Everyone in the Mill family, from top to bottom, is extremely excited.

Because after a night of spreading, the news that the Mill family has obtained the contract from the Delaney Group and has invited the chairman of the Delaney Group to their family banquet has spread throughout the city of Plath!

In order to attend this banquet, Allen put on his most expensive suit and headed to the hotel where the banquet was being held.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the hotel and got out of the car, Allen saw a Porsche come to a screeching halt right in front of him.

Immediately after, Rod, dressed in a high-end brand suit and with his hair meticulously combed, stepped out of the car.

Soon, the reception staff came up and greeted Rod attentively.

And Rod clearly saw Allen too, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

He sized Allen up and down, and sneered, "Where did you get that fake suit?

You're trying to look decent but you're not fooling anyone."

Allen asked indifferently, "What does that have to do with you?"

The corners of Rod's mouth twitched, with a bit of mockery on his face, and he said, "You and I have nothing to do with each other, but your wife has something to do with me now..."

Allen frowned slightly and asked, "What kind of relationship?"

The people around them couldn't help but stop and listen.

Since last night, there has been a piece of gossip spreading around in the circle.

The rumor said that the reason why Mia was able to secure the cooperation with the Delaney Group was entirely because she had slept with Rod.

Otherwise, with her and the Mill family's strength, how could they possibly win the cooperation with the Delaney Group?

Now it seems that there might be some truth to this matter.

Seeing the crowd gather around, Rod said to Allen, "What do you think is the reason why Mia was able to secure the cooperation with the Delaney Group?"

Allen looked at Rod and asked coldly, "What is the reason?"

The corners of Rod's mouth lifted as he said, "Of course it's because of me.

Since Mia is my woman now, that's why I went all out to help her secure the cooperation with the Delaney Group.

If you know what's good for you, divorce her as soon as possible. Consider it as doing a good deed."

Although the people around had already had their suspicions, now that Rod had said it bluntly, everyone couldn't help but be extremely surprised.

It turns out that Mia really got the cooperation of the Delaney Group by sleeping with Rod!

"Because of you?" Upon hearing this, instead of getting angry, Allen laughed and said, "Do you even deserve it?"

Rod said coldly, "You're just a good-for-nothing. You can't even keep your wife in check."

It's such a pity that Mia married you. It would be much better if she married me. I can give her whatever she wants!

Allen's face turned cold. He lowered his voice and said coldly, "I'll give you two choices.

First, kneel and apologize to Mia. In front of everyone, take back what you've said.

Second, I'll make your family's group go completely bankrupt. You can choose for yourself."

Hahaha, are you kidding me?

Who the hell do you think you are? You want to make my family's group go bankrupt?

Rod burst into wild laughter. He looked at Allen with disdain and didn't take his words seriously.

Are you out of your mind?

 What do you think you can do to make our group go bankrupt?

Do you know how much my family's group is worth?

Do you think it can go bankrupt just like that?

    With that, Kendall heaved a sigh and went on. But even when your father was a young man, foreign trade carried out by domestic entrepreneurs remained largely unchanged from the Tang and Song dynasties, lacking any sophisticated expertise. Meanwhile, Europeans and Americans had mastered cross-border finance to perfection—stocks, futures, oil, gold, private equity funds, hedge funds, venture capital; these were their core trump cards back then.While Asian nations were slaving away manufacturing goods to trade overseas and scrape together profits bit by bit, Western hedge funds flooded Asia with massive hot money, wreaking havoc everywhere. They could trigger financial crises and legally seize the fruits of an Asian country’s labor accumulated over years, even decades, sending its finance, stock market and real estate market crashing down all at once.Back then, the Field Family set their sights on exploiting major domestic clans.

    As the chief steward of the Smith Family, Kendall was an influential figure in Neon City. Save for the handful of top-tier clans, the patriarchs of all other families treated him with the utmost deference. Thanks to his standing, his teahouse thrived, drawing crowds of prominent socialites who came to patronize the place.When Alan arrived at Huguang Guild Hall, Kendall had already gotten there ahead of him.He waited personally at the entrance, and his jaw dropped the moment he saw Alan accompanied by a woman wearing a face mask.Having operated deep within Neon City’s elite circles for years, Kendall possessed an extraordinary eye for detail. He recognized at a single glance that the masked woman beside Alan was none other than Juliet, the heiress of the Austin Family.Overwhelmed with delight, he exclaimed excitedly, Young Master, Miss Juliet! What a surprise to see the two of you together!Juliet let out a soft chuckle. Uncle Kendall, I disguised myself this well, yet you still sa

    The rest of the clan chimed in one after another, their reasoning plain and simple: Alan had grown up in humble circumstances and was simply unworthy of the eldest young lady of the Bruce Family.Domingo wore a sneering look as he spoke. Father, even though Alan is Second Brother’s son, he’s exactly what young people nowadays call a nobody. How could such a man ever compare to a peerless beauty like Louise?Seeing every single person speaking out in opposition, the old Smith patriarch let out a cold snort and said, Do any of you know that Louise’s mother—the eldest daughter-in-law of the Bruce Family—once would have died for John? She chased after him relentlessly for years. If John had given her his consent back then, she would have become the second daughter-in-law of the Smith Family.

    That’s right, Gaston, Alan’s male cousin, cut in. I’ve crossed paths with Louise from the Bruce Family before. She’s an icy, reserved woman who rarely attends social events. Countless high-society galas at home and abroad have sent her elaborate invitations, yet she’s turned every single one down. Courting her would be next to impossible. On top of that, I already have a formal engagement. If I pursued her, the Bruces would see right through my ulterior motives.Wendell, the eldest son of Domingo—the third brother and one of Alan’s younger cousins—could not hide his eagerness as he spoke up. Grandfather, let me give it a try!Mitchell glanced at his nephew, whose features were plain and unremarkable, and shook his head. Wendell, the Bruce Family already stands stronger than us. Even Gaston, our eldest grandson, might not be deemed worthy in their eyes—what chance do you have?Domingo’s tone turned sour. Eldest brother, there’s no need to speak like that.

    Alan patted the back of her hand and smiled. That’s just how life is—one must stand firm through extreme highs and crushing lows. If a person is showered with flattery their entire life, they may never grasp the cruelty of the world or the hardships ordinary people endure. Such a person will likely suffer a devastating loss someday. Unlike me, I’ve seen all the warmth and coldness of humanity ever since I turned eight. All those experiences are an invaluable asset for the rest of my life.Juliet nodded softly, big teardrops sliding down from the corners of her eyes.Her heart ached deeply for the life Alan had led over the past decade and more.
