2025-04-27 21:47:37After saying that, the old lady added, "Even if the chairman of the Delaney Group isn't willing to come, it's okay to invite Vivian.
She's the second - in - command of the Delaney Group, and inviting her would also be very prestigious." As she said this, the head of the Mill family was already beaming with excitement. When she thought of those large groups and prominent families that had looked down on the Mill family in the past, and how they might have to rely on the Mill family in the future, her heart couldn't help but race with excitement. The Mill family would become even more glorious in her hands! Mia thought for a while before answering hesitantly, "I understand. I'll give it a try..." "This isn't about giving it a try! You must invite them!" Mia nodded slightly, then whispered to Alan nervously, "What should we do? What if the chairman of the Delaney Group doesn't come? What if Vivian isn't willing to come either?" Alan chuckled and said, "Just give it a shot. Don't you have Vivian's phone number? Maybe they'll agree as soon as you call." The banquet hosted by the Mill family was not only to showcase the strength of the Mill family to the outside world but also to announce Mia's promotion to general manager at the banquet. Since his wife was being promoted to general manager, it wouldn't be a bad idea for him, as her husband, to show his support. My wife has been promoted to general manager, and as her husband, I must go to show my support. She let out a sigh, still feeling conflicted, and said, "The other party is the chairman of the Delaney Group. It's said that he's also the young master of a prominent family in Neon City. Such an important person must be extremely busy..." Alan smiled and said, "I don't think so. Maybe he just stays at home with his wife every day, cooking and doing the laundry?" Mia gave him a glare and said, "Do you think everyone is like you?" Alan nodded, "Yeah, it's very possible that the boss of the Delaney Group is just like me." Mia pursed her lips and said coquettishly, "Tsk! How could that be!"Mia walked to one side and dialed Vivian's number.
A pleasant voice came from the other end of the line: Hello, Ms. Mia. Hello, Vice President Vivian. I'm calling to invite the chairman to attend the banquet.We will announce our cooperation with the Delaney Group, and we hope the chairman can come.
Vivian replied: Ms. Mia, I can't make the decision on this. I'll ask the chairman for his opinion. Mia said politely: Then I'll trouble you, Vice President Vivian. Just then, Alan's phone suddenly rang. Alan was startled. It must be Vivian calling to ask for his opinion. Alan answered the phone. Chairman, the Mill family is hosting a banquet tomorrow evening and wants to invite you to attend. Alan replied: Sure. Then Alan quickly hung up the phone and said, Those telemarketers are so annoying. Shortly after, Mia's phone rang again. Ms. Mia, our chairman has agreed and will come directly! Really... That's great... Thank you so much for your help. Mia was extremely excited. She didn't expect that the other party would agree. Mia quickly said to the head of the Mill family: Grandma! The chairman of the Delaney Group has agreed! The head of the Mill family was immediately excited! She immediately said to the members of the Mill family present: Hurry up and make preparations! Book the best hotel, the best food and drinks, and get ready to give a grand welcome to the chairman of the Delaney Group! In addition, inform all the big enterprises in the city and invite them to our banquet! Tell them that the chairman of the Delaney Group will be present! Then, the entire Mill family got busy!Everyone was extremely excited, constantly contacting various partners and high - society figures in Pras City.
In an instant, the whole of Pras City knew this news. The mysterious new chairman of the Delaney Group was about to make an appearance at the Mill family's banquet! The head of the Mill family received countless inquiry calls. She was overjoyed today. Once the banquet was over tomorrow, the Mill family would become a sought - after family in Pras City! Thinking of this, she said excitedly, "All right, that's enough for today. Let's start preparing for tomorrow's banquet." After the meeting ended, the head of the Mill family returned to her office. Carlson followed closely behind. "Grandma, are you really going to give the position of general manager to Mia?" The head of the Mill family said coldly, "I've already promised Mia." Carlson insisted, "Grandma, you can't let her be the general manager!" The old lady retorted, "Why not? She secured such a large contract and is a hero of the company." Carlson said, "Mia was able to get the contract from the Delaney Group because Rod was helping her behind the scenes. I heard that Rod even went to her house yesterday! The Delaney Group signed the contract with us today probably because she slept with Rod!" The head of the Mill family said angrily, "Is what you said true?" Carlson said, "Of course it's true. Rod went to see Mia last night. You can find out by checking."Grandma, Mia is a married woman. If the thing between her and Rod gets out, and it's known that our Mill family obtained the contract from the Delaney Group by such means, the reputation of our Mill family will be ruined.
The head of the Mill family frowned and inwardly believed it.
She knew that Rod liked Mia.
No wonder Mia was able to get the contract worth 60 million dollars.
Carlson added, "If you let such a shameless woman be the general manager, our reputation will be even worse.
At this time, we should choose someone else as the general manager. It's best to pick a man, so that we can avoid the gossip to the greatest extent!"
The head of the Mill family nodded slightly. Seen in this way, she really should choose another general manager to deal with the gossip.
If it's known outside that Mia got the contract by getting involved with Rod, she can explain to the outside that the contract was obtained by the new general manager, and it definitely wasn't obtained by Mia by trading on her looks.
Moreover, the old lady had her own ulterior motives. She didn't like Mia!
She had always been patriarchal and didn't want to see Mia's status in the Mill family rise.

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
