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

Among the scarce standalone villas located in the city proper, Oceanfront Mansion ranks as one of the most exclusive high-end villa compounds.Every villa here is priced at no less than two hundred million US dollars, grand and extravagantly furnished.Even so, it still cannot hold a candle to the Smith Family’s mansion.In Alan’s memory, the Smith Family residence was not a luxury villa built by real estate developers, but the former royal mansion of a Qing Dynasty prince.It embodied true understated luxury and magnificent grandeur. Alan recalled that the dozens of golden nanmu pillars alone inside the mansion were priceless treasures.It was said that as early as more than a decade ago, a single such pillar was already valued at over a hundred million on the market.Juliet drove the car back home.

Chapter 684 Reunion with Juliet
Luckily, he had run into Juliet again at just the right time. If their reunion had waited until after Omba passed away from his severe illness, there would have been nothing he could do to save him.He then comforted her gently, Don’t worry too much about this. I’ll sort everything out for you once I arrive.Juliet said in a choked voice, Thank you, Brother Alan. Just having you come to see Dad will make him so happy!Not wanting to talk too much and risk Caroline beside him catching any important details from the conversation, Alan said, I’ll let you go for now. The plane is about to take off, and we need to turn off our phones.Juliet replied quickly, Alright, Brother Alan. I’ll wait for you in Neon City!After Alan hung up the call, Caroline beside him couldn’t help but smile and tease, You’re really something now, Alan. No wonder everyone calls you Master Alan. From the way you were talking just now, it sounds like someone’s waiting for you to rush over and save the day!Alan gave

Avi nodded with an ingratiating smile and said, Then make sure you stay safe on the way!Watching Alan walk out the door, she quickly called out after him, Dear son-in-law, if you come across anything nice in Neon City, bring me a little gift back by the way!Mm, alright.Alan gave a perfunctory reply and stepped out of the house.Plus City AirportAlan had no luggage with him, so he went straight to get his boarding pass and passed through security.Since Claude had booked him a first-class ticket, he headed directly to the VIP lounge after clearing security.The flight was scheduled to take off at 10 a.m. At nine twenty, a lounge staff member personally escorted him to board the plane ahead of time.Alan was the first to get on board.

She couldn’t help walking over to Alan, snuggling gently into his arms. Gazing up at the twinkling stars scattered across the sky, she said with a look of pure happiness, After the New Year, it’ll be our fourth year of marriage.Yeah. Alan couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Four years already. Time really flies.Does it feel fast? Mia said earnestly. To me, time hasn’t passed quickly at all. So many things have happened in these four years, and you’ve changed more than anyone.Alan scratched the tip of his nose. Oh? Have I changed?Mia nodded. Of course you have! Your whole demeanor, aura, and bearing are completely different from when we first got married.She murmured softly, It’s strange though. When I think about it, the changes are huge… yet at the same time, it all feels so natural. It’s as if you were always meant to be this way.Alan let out a soft sigh and said to her, By the way, honey. The feng shui consultation trip to Neon City is all set. I’m leaving tomorrow morning.
