Tasha quickly explained from the side, "Cyril, this good-for-nothing has married into our Mill family.
He has no job and no ability!"
After saying that, she deliberately winked at Cyril and said, "Cyril, after I get married to Sol, we'll be family. We must keep in touch in the future..." Cyril said, "Sure." Just then, Allen also saw his mother-in-law Ivy and father-in-law Gilmore walking over. As Ivy came over, she hurriedly said to Mia, "Mia, have you heard? The Walli family has gone bankrupt!" Ah? Mia asked in surprise, "When did this happen?" Just now! Ivy sighed, "I thought that after you divorced Allen, you could be with Rod in the future. Now it seems that there's no chance..." Allen was really annoyed. This mother-in-law couldn't be a fool, could she? Didn't she know that her current son-in-law was the real big boss? Cyril, who was beside them, quickly came over when he saw Ivy. He introduced himself, "You must be Mia's mother, right? Hello, auntie. I'm Sol's cousin, Cyril." You're really beautiful. No wonder you gave birth to such a beautiful daughter like Mia. When Ivy heard that Cyril was the eldest son of the Hardy family, a wealthy young master! Her eyes lit up immediately, and she said enthusiastically, "Yes, I'm Mia's mother. Are you friends with Mia?" Cyril nodded and smiled, "We're friends, but we just met today!" Ivy was beaming with joy and quickly nodded, "Let's all find a place to sit. Don't just stand here. Young Master Cyril, our Mia is really beautiful, and she's pure and innocent. You young people should have more contact in the future..." Mom! Mia called out in dissatisfaction and stopped her mother from continuing. Just as Ivy was about to say something, Mia tugged at her and reminded everyone to pay attention to the stage.At this moment, the head of the Mill family had already stepped into the spotlight!
She looked around excitedly before standing in front of the microphone. With a smile, she began, "First of all, on behalf of the Mill family, I'd like to welcome all our dear friends and business partners for attending this banquet. Then, let's welcome Ms. Vivian, the vice chairperson of the Delaney Group, to grace this occasion." In an instant, the spotlight shifted and shone on the seats in the front row. Vivian was wearing a black evening gown, revealing her perfect figure curves completely in front of everyone. Under the light, she was as dazzling as a fairy, and all the men in the venue couldn't help but focus their eyes on her. The vice chairperson of the Delaney Group! A rare and peerless beauty! Each of these identities was enough to attract everyone's attention. After standing up, Vivian just nodded towards the crowd. When she saw Allen, her gaze lingered on him for a while before moving away. At this time, the head of the Mill family continued,Today, first of all, I want to express our gratitude to the Delaney Group for entrusting such an important project to our Mill family. The Mill family will definitely go all out and not let down the trust of the Delaney Group.
Secondly, we also want to introduce to all our friends an outstanding younger generation of our Mill family. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been able to reach a cooperation with the Delaney Group. Moreover, after joint deliberation within our group, we've decided to recommend him to serve as the general manager of our Group and be fully responsible for the cooperation with the Delaney Group!"the mother-in-law, said excitedly, "Oh, Mia! It's your turn to go on stage!"
Although Mia was already prepared to go on stage, she still couldn't help feeling nervous. Allen immediately gave her an encouraging look. Carlson looked at Mia, who was beaming with excitement, and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth. The head of the Mill family also looked towards their table and spoke with a smile. Let's welcome the newly appointed general manager of the Mill Group, Carlson! Mia froze in place... She looked at the side in disbelief, only to see Carlson looking proud as he stepped onto the stage. Allen's eyes instantly turned cold. What a treacherous act of using someone and then discarding them! After taking advantage of Mia, the Mill family immediately abandoned her, not caring about her feelings at all! Mia's eyes instantly turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes. Then, she stood up and ran towards the door without looking back. For her, the more joyful she was when she came, the more desperate she felt at this moment! Watching her leave, Allen's expression grew even colder. Bullying my wife? Are they asking for death? At this moment, standing on the stage, Carlson said proudly, "Thank you for the company's trust. I will definitely work hard to be a good general manager! I will also complete the project entrusted to us by the Delaney Group perfectly!" The head of the Mill family nodded in satisfaction, took the microphone, and said, "There is one more most important thing at this banquet. That is, we are honored to have invited the new chairman of the Delaney Group! Let's welcome the chairman of the Delaney Group with the warmest applause!" Thunderous applause erupted from the audience! All the guests tonight had come to see the new chairman of the Delaney Group! Everyone was waiting eagerly to catch a glimpse of his demeanor!People were secretly watching, eager to see who would stand up at this moment!
Some even said, "I suspect that the mysterious chairman of the Delaney Group is the same person as the super tycoon who caused a stir in the Aelia Jewelry Store online!" I also think it's highly likely!The back of that super tycoon looks unfamiliar.
He shouldn't be from the social circle of Pras City!
My God! In that case, wouldn't the chairman of the Delaney Group be the most powerful super-rich person in Pras City right now? I'm so looking forward to seeing his true face! Amidst the enthusiastic applause and under the eager attention of countless people. Allen suddenly stood up slowly with a cold expression... In the eyes of everyone who couldn't believe it, Allen slowly stood up. The eyes of the entire banquet hall instantly converged on him. Allen, what are you doing! Sit down quickly! Ivy was so frightened that she immediately reminded him. Doesn't he even look at what kind of occasion this is! Among all the big shots here, not a single one dares to stand up.What are you, a good-for-nothing son-in-law, trying to do by showing off at this time!
Cyril and Sol also exchanged a glance, thinking in their hearts, damn it, could the chairman of the Delaney Group really be him? But then, the two of them shook their heads. Impossible. If he were really the chairman of the Delaney Group, how could he be scolded by Ivy? What are you doing, you good-for-nothing! Sit down right now! Carlson shouted with a dark face on the stage. Allen gave him a cold look, then walked straight to Vivian's side. Completely ignoring the shocked gazes of everyone, he whispered a few words in her ear. Vivian nodded slightly as she listened. This scene made everyone's hearts tighten instantly. Vivian! The vice chairperson of the Delaney Group, a peerless beauty famous in Pras City! How could Allen, a good-for-nothing son-in-law, know her? And judging by this situation, the two have a good relationship. After finishing speaking, Allen ignored the gazes of the crowd, left the hall, and went to chase after Mia. However, Vivian stood up, walked onto the stage, and took the microphone. Looking at the confused eyes of the crowd, she said, "Hello, everyone. I'm Vivian."Latest Chapter
Chapter 742 Return to Plus City
After finishing his words, he glanced at Juliet and said awkwardly, The patriarch also said that if the Bruce alliance falls through, Miss Juliet would be the perfect alternative.Juliet’s cheeks instantly flushed crimson with embarrassment.Alan, however, spoke in a frigid tone: When my father was condemned by everyone, instead of shielding our family from hardship, he drove us away. Now he expects me to lift the Smith Family to new heights? It is nothing but a fool’s fantasy!Kendall nodded and said, Young Master, the patriarch’s actions were indeed excessive, yet you need not let anger consume you. On the contrary, this presents a perfect chance to turn his scheme against him. You could agree to formalize your betrothal with Miss Juliet, then use this opportunity to demand more resources from him on behalf of the Smith Family. If you become the next patriarch of the Smith Family, your odds of defeating the Bruce Family will improve drastically!Become the patriarch of the Smith Fam

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. When everyone else could only stand by and be victimized
Chapter 740 Father’s Past Part 1
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. Even now, she visits John’s grave to pay her respects every single year. Do any of you understand what it means to love someone so much that you grow fond of everything connected to them?His words se
Chapter 738 Marriage Alliance Part 1
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. Who laid down a rule that the
Chapter 737 The Marriage Contract
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. Even though he spoke of it so casually, every time she thought about his past, a lump would form in her throat.He was the young heir of the Smith Family, yet he’d been cast adrift in Plus City, suffering through the harshest hardships of society’s lowest rung. Juliet could not fathom how he’d endured all those years.Though she was younger tha
