Mr. Allen met our chairman outside the venue earlier, and the chairman asked him to convey a message to me.
Upon hearing that Allen was not the chairman of the Delaney Group, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Cyril breathed a sigh of relief and said disdainfully in a low voice, "He just happened to meet the chairman once, and now he's desperately trying to curry favor with the assistant. What a loser." Sol shrugged and laughed, "That's how small-minded people are." At this moment, Vivian on the stage glanced at the head of the Mill family, and her expression turned cold.The chairman asked me to inform everyone...
From now on, the Delaney Group terminates its cooperation with the Mill family, and all signed contracts are hereby declared null and void!" The crowd erupted in an instant. No one had expected Vivian to say such a thing. This sudden turn of events left everyone stunned. The head of the Mill family turned deathly pale and asked urgently, "Vice Chairperson Vivian, what's the reason for this? Did the Mill family do something wrong?" She had invited all the prominent figures in Pras City today, hoping to use this opportunity to make a name for the family in Pras City. If the cooperation fell through under the eyes of everyone, the Mill family would probably be laughed at by all. Vivian said, "Our chairman only agreed to cooperate with you because he recognized Ms. Mia. But you made your own decisions and appointed someone irrelevant to take charge of this project. I'm sorry, we can't accept that! After saying this, Vivian put down the microphone and walked out of the door without looking back. The head of the Mill family was deathly pale and collapsed onto the stage in an instant.She never dreamed that her momentary cleverness would actually ruin this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
If she had known it would end up like this, she would never have let Carlson take Mia's place as general manager, even if she was forced to.Carlson was also extremely confused at this moment. What was going on?
It seemed that Vivian was deliberately targeting him, but he hadn't offended her at all!
Carlson couldn't help but ask the head of the Mill family, "Grandma, the appointment of the general manager has already been announced. You won't go back on your word, will you?"The head of the Mill family struggled to stand up and slapped him across the face.
She scolded angrily, "You good-for-nothing! You still want to be the general manager at a time like this? Hurry up and come with me to beg Mia!"After chasing after her, Allen found that Mia hadn't actually gone far. She was just crouching in a deserted corner beside the hotel, crying out of grievance.
He walked over slowly, took off his suit, and draped it over Mia. He said, "Honey, don't be sad. The general manager position of the Mill family isn't all that great. It's no big deal if you don't get it...""You don't understand. If I became the general manager, my parents could hold their heads high in the Mill family. How could Grandma go back on her word..." Mia sobbed.
Allen continued to console her, "Maybe they'll come and beg you to be the general manager soon.
If you keep crying like this, you won't look pretty when you go on stage later..."Mia choked up, "That's impossible. Grandma has already made the announcement. There's no chance for a change.
You go in first and let me be alone for a while..."Just then, the head of the Mill family and Carlson also rushed out of the banquet hall.
The old lady was out of breath from running because of her age. Behind her, a large group of people came out, all eager to watch the commotion.After Carlson came out, he saw Allen and Mia.
He quickly ran up and looked down at Mia, whose eyes were blurred with tears. He said urgently, "Mia, hurry up and chase after Vice Chairperson Vivian and ask her not to terminate the cooperation with us!" Mia looked confused: "Terminate the cooperation? Why?" Carlson said angrily, "Stop playing innocent with me. You must have instructed Vice Chairperson Vivian to embarrass me in public.If you don't fix this, I won't let you off!"
The head of the Mill family beside them slapped Carlson again in anger. She scolded, "You bastard, how dare you talk to your sister like that! She is the general manager of our company!" Carlson was anxious: "Grandma... Didn't we agree that I would be the general manager?" The head of the Mill family raged, "If it weren't for your coaxing, I wouldn't have changed my mind at the last minute. If you keep pestering me, get out of the Mill family!" After being slapped twice by the old lady, Carlson was extremely angry. But he didn't dare to show his anger and could only swallow his pride for the time being. The head of the Mill family then said to Mia, "Mia, Grandma is begging you. You are now the general manager of the Mill family. Go and explain to Vice Chairperson Vivian quickly. Otherwise, the Mill family will be finished!" Mia looked at Allen in confusion. Allen shrugged and said, "I told you they would come and beg you to be the general manager. You didn't believe me. Look, your makeup is all ruined by your tears..." Mia blushed, wiped her tears, and said, "Then I'll try to contact the Delaney Group." With that, she dialed Vivian's number.All eyes were focused on her.
After a moment, the call connected, and Mia said, "Hello, Vice Chairperson Vivian." Grandma asked me to explain to you that I will be promoted to the general manager of the Mill family and be in charge of the cooperation with the Delaney Group. Could you please give us another chance... Vivian chuckled and said, "If you're the general manager and can take charge, then there's no problem, and the cooperation can continue. But if it's someone else, there's no room for discussion..." Vice Chairperson Vivian... Thank you so much... Mia was full of doubts about this matter. From start to finish, the Delaney Group seemed to be helping her entirely, which was really abnormal. Vivian smiled and said, "This is the intention of our chairman. If there's an opportunity in the future, the chairman will explain it to you in person..." Mia was even more puzzled. Who exactly was the chairman of the other side? She had never met him. Why was he helping her everywhere? Mia asked nervously, "Could you please come back to the banquet hall?" The other side left in anger. It was obvious that they were infuriated by the Mill family. It was a bit difficult to ask them to come back. But to her surprise, Vivian readily agreed. Soon, everyone saw that Vivian's car returned to the entrance of the hotel. At this moment, everyone looked at Mia with eyes full of shock and awe. When they returned to the banquet hall, the old lady took Mia's hand and went on stage. She said, "I'm really sorry. I was muddle-headed and made a mistake. In fact, it's all thanks to Mia. She is the outstanding younger generation of our Mill family. Mia has also contributed a great deal to the cooperation between the Mill family and the Delaney Group. Vivian stood beside her and gave her a disdainful glance. She waved her hand to stop her from continuing. Vivian said, "Let me correct you.This cooperation was solely promoted by Mia and has nothing to do with anyone else.
The head of the Mill family quickly nodded and said, "Vice Chairperson Vivian is right. All of this is Mia's credit. From now on, Mia will be the general manager of our Mill family!She will be fully responsible for the cooperation between the Mill family and the Delaney Group!"
Only then did Vivian show a trace of a smile, and she shook hands with Mia and said, "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."Latest Chapter
Chapter 829 The Beautiful CEO
Ito Keiko also stood up quickly and knelt down right behind her aunt. "Allen‑kun, please accept my bow of gratitude!" she said sincerely.Allen let out a soft sigh and spoke earnestly, "Please both of you get up. There is really no need for this. By chance, I lent the Ito family some help, but in the end, it is the Ito family’s own good fortune that allowed you to survive this disaster."Only then did Ito Emi and Keiko rise to their feet.Ito Emi turned to Ito Takehiko. "Brother, Mr. Allen is right. Beyond his help, our family has truly met with rare good fortune. We can absorb the market shares left behind by the Takahashi and Matsumoto clans. With the Takahashi family badly weakened, we can push forward our partnership talks with the Bruce family. At this point, the Bruce family will have no other choice but us.""No!" Ito Takehiko replied without the slightest hesitation. "From now on, we will not enter into any form of cooperation with the Bruce family."Ito Emi could not hide her
Chapter 828 Deep Regret
Allen told him the truth, "I was originally in Osaka to take over Kobayashi Pharmaceutical’s production lines there. I heard Miss Keiko was staying in Kyoto, and since it was only a forty‑minute drive from Osaka to Kyoto, I decided to go visit her. I never expected to arrive just as the Fujibayashi clan’s ninjas were attacking her, so I stepped in."He sighed as he spoke, "It was pure luck. Had I shown up any later, there would have been nothing I could do."Ito Takehiko nodded, filled with lingering fear. "We truly owe everything to you, Mr. Allen."Anger welled up inside him, and he said coldly, "The Fujibayashi ninjas served Takahashi Machi. I cannot for the life of me figure out why he would target me. We were both competing for a partnership with the Bruce family. Even with past frictions and bad blood between us, there was no reason to send assassins after my daughter!"Allen’s brows drew tight at once. "What did you say? The Bruce family? Which Bruce family?!"Ito Takehiko expl
Chapter 827 Reconciliation
After the double‑leg amputation, the doctors had put him on a pain pump, so he barely felt any physical agony. Still, constant worry over Ito Keiko, who was far away in Kyoto, kept him from sleeping soundly.He had just dreamed that Keiko had met with misfortune in Kyoto. The nightmare jolted him awake at once, and he intended to tell his younger sister Ito Emi to send people to bring Keiko back to Tokyo without delay.Yet what he had never dreamed of was that when the ward door swung open, his beloved precious daughter Ito Keiko walked in together with his sister Ito Emi."Keiko?!" Ito Takehiko blurted out in shock. "What are you doing here?"Seeing her father lying pale and bloodless on the hospital bed, with thick bandages wrapped around his knees and everything below gone forever, Ito Keiko burst into tears and cried out, "Oto‑san!"She rushed over to the bedside, grabbed Ito Takehiko’s hand, and wept bitterly.It took Ito Takehiko a moment to collect himself. Relieved and deeply
Chapter 826 Arrival in Tokyo
Sitting in the passenger seat, Ito Keiko stayed tense throughout the whole ride. Even though Ito Takehiko had said over the phone that he was out of danger, Keiko still harbored quiet worries.A little over three hours later, Allen pulled into Tokyo and stopped at the gate of the University of Tokyo Hospital, the top‑rated medical facility in the city.This hospital boasted Japan’s highest global ranking and represented the nation’s pinnacle of medical care.Once the car came to a full stop, Keiko could not wait to push open the door and get out. Before stepping out, however, she turned to Allen and asked, "Allen‑kun, will you come upstairs with me?"Allen looked slightly awkward. "Your father might not want to see me."Keiko said earnestly, "Allen‑kun, you saved my life. No matter how big the misunderstandings or grudges between you two are, I believe Father will no longer hold them against you!"Allen thought for a brief moment and replied, "Very well, I will go with you."His reaso

Allen couldn’t help laughing and said, “If your dad heard that, he’d probably be furious.”Ito Keiko stuck out her tongue. She was about to speak when her phone suddenly vibrated.She looked confused. “Who would be calling this late? Could the servants have noticed we snuck out?”She quickly pulled out her phone and gasped in surprise. “Oh no, it’s Father!”She never expected her father to call her so late at night.She said nervously to Allen, “Allen‑kun, I need to take this call from my father…”Allen nodded with a smile. “Go ahead.”Keiko quickly answered the phone and asked cautiously, “Father, why are you calling me so late? Is something wrong?”Ito Takehiko’s weak voice came over the line. “Keiko, I’ve had an accident. I’m calling to make sure you’re safe. Is everything all right over in Kyoto?”Keiko asked anxiously, “Father! What happened to you? Are you badly hurt?”Takehiko replied, “Tanaka and I were hunted down by attackers. We barely managed to escape. But I’m afraid they
Chapter 824: Annihilation of the Entire Family Part 2
Upon hearing those words, Matsumoto Yoshito completely broke down. He lifted his head and shouted hysterically, “Why! Why wipe out my entire Matsumoto clan?! Why push for total extermination?!”The woman let out a cold laugh. “This is the price you pay for provoking the Bruce family!”Tears instantly streamed down Matsumoto Yoshito’s face. Mixed with blood, they made his whole look utterly gruesome.All will to live had deserted him. He mumbled, “Kill me. Kill me right now.”The woman nodded and pulled out a sunflower‑seed‑shaped carving of white jade from her pocket. “Matsumoto Yoshito, before you die, I want you to remember my name. I’m Suzie.”With a flick of her wrist, the jade sunflower seed shot forward at high speed.The next instant, a tiny bloody hole appeared in the center of Matsumoto Yoshito’s forehead. All life drained from his body, and he crashed to the ground, dead.Meanwhile, at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.The police chief finally breathed a sigh of reli
