Having thought of this, she already had a plan in mind.

So she looked at Carlson and said, "In the company from now on, you must listen to me. Do whatever I tell you, and don't do anything that I forbid. Understand?"

Carlson immediately showed his loyalty and said, "Grandma, don't worry. I'll do whatever you say."

The head of the Mill family nodded in satisfaction. "At tomorrow's banquet, I will tell everyone that you are the new general manager.

And you will be fully responsible for the cooperation with the Delaney Group. Remember, you must be obedient. I can lift you up, and I can also bring you down!"

Carlson was overjoyed inside. "Don't worry, Grandma! I will definitely be obedient!"

When Mia came out of the Mill family, she was extremely excited.

Tomorrow, Grandma would officially announce her new appointment. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but say to Alan, "Alan, thank you!

If it weren't for your encouragement, I wouldn't have dared to accept this task."

Alan smiled and said, "Wife, you deserve it.

It's such a great thing. Let's celebrate it, shall we?"

Mia nodded. "How do you want to celebrate?"

Alan smiled and said, "Our third wedding anniversary is coming up soon. Why don't we celebrate them together?

I'll take care of the preparations. You don't need to worry about it."

Mia asked in surprise, "Are you going to give me a surprise?"

"Yeah!" Alan nodded and smiled. "I'll prepare a surprise for you!"

Mia felt a sweet feeling in her heart and said, "Then I won't ask you what it is specifically!"

Alan said, "Just wait!"

In order to prepare a special wedding anniversary for his wife, Alan had many plans in his mind.

Overall, it was mainly about making up for her. After all, he used to be poor and didn't have the money to buy gifts for his wife.

He didn't even give his wife a formal wedding. Now that he had money, he definitely wanted to make it up to her.

After separating from his wife, Alan went alone to a jewelry store named Ailia in the downtown area of Pras City.

The Ailia Jewelry Store was the most famous jewelry store in the local area. It had everything, including gold, platinum, diamonds, jade, and emeralds.

Alan wanted to buy a gift for his wife first, and then go to the best hotel to book a belated wedding.

After arriving at the Ailia Jewelry Store, the sales assistants didn't bother to pay attention to him when they saw that he was wearing a counterfeit Adidas outfit.

Alan looked around for a long time and took a fancy to a jadeite necklace locked in the cabinet.

The material of this necklace was the top-grade ice-type jadeite. It was exquisite and elegant, and it matched Mia's temperament very well.

Alan looked at the price. Five million dollars was a piece of cake for him.

So he called a salesperson and said, "Hello, please take out this necklace for me to have a look."

The other person glanced at Alan and said, "I don't have the key. The key is in the hands of our manager."

As he spoke, he used the walkie-talkie and said, "Manager Lacey, there's a customer who wants to see the treasure of our store!"

Soon, a woman dressed enchantingly came running over excitedly. Her name was Lacey, and she was the sales manager here.

Which distinguished guest wants to see the treasure of the store?

The salesperson pointed at Alan and said, "Manager Lacey, it's this gentleman."

When Lacey saw Alan, she felt as disgusted as if she had eaten a fly.

How could such a poor guy afford the treasure of the store?

Thinking of this, she immediately said to the male salesperson, "Are you kidding me?"

The male salesperson said, "No, this gentleman really wants to see the treasure of the store."

Lacey cursed, "How can such a poor guy afford the treasure of the store? Are you blind?

If you're blind, just say so and get lost before you make me angry!"

Lacey prided herself on being an excellent judge of character. She could tell at a glance what kind of person someone was and how much they could afford to spend.

So, she immediately decided that Alan was nothing but a penniless bum.

Not only could he never afford the store's $5 - million - dollar treasure, but he probably couldn't even afford a $500 ordinary necklace!

Wasn't this just a waste of her time?

The male salesperson didn't dare to say a word after being scolded.

 Frowning, Alan asked her, "Aren't you here to do business?

What's the problem with me wanting to take a look at this necklace?"

Lacey sneered, "If you can't afford it, then don't butt in!"

Alan frowned and said, "Which eye of yours makes you think I can't afford it?"

Lacey said dismissively, "This piece of jadeite is worth $5 million. What can you use to buy it?

I know what you're up to. You just want me to take it out so you can take a photo and brag about it on social media, right?"

As she spoke, Lacey crossed her arms over her chest, looking arrogant and full of disdain.

When people around heard that the jadeite was worth $5 million, many of them started whispering and pointing.

They sneered, "People like this have no shame. They can't afford it but still want to look."

"Exactly. Just look at the way he's dressed. How could he ever be worthy of such top - grade jadeite?"

"Let me tell you, there are so many people like this nowadays!"

Alan glanced at Lacey behind the counter. Seeing her sneering at him with a look of complete disdain, he made up his mind to teach this snobbish woman a good lesson.

So, Alan took out his phone and dialed Kendall's number.

"Come to Ailia Jewelry Store and prepare $5 million in cash for me. I want to see it in ten minutes."

"No problem, Young Master. I'm on my way."

Lacey curled her lip and laughed, "You're really getting into your act!

I've never seen $5 million in my entire life. I hope you can show me what it looks like!

Don't you know that for amounts over a million dollars, you need to make an appointment with the bank first?

Hahaha, you're so funny!"

Alan nodded and said, "Since you've never seen so much money, you'll soon get to see it."

People around were all talking among themselves.

"Haha, this guy doesn't look like a rich person at all. If he can take out $100,000, I'll call him dad!"

I really want to see what $5 million looks like!

A few minutes later, several Rolls-Royces suddenly stopped at the entrance of Ailia Jewelry Store.

Eight bodyguards in black suits got out of the first two Rolls-Royces. They were holding black suitcases in their hands.

All of them had tense muscles, solemn expressions, and an icy murderous aura, making the atmosphere around them even more solemn.

This scene immediately shocked everyone in the Ailia Jewelry Store!

Seeing such a grand scene, Lacey was also startled. She thought to herself, could these people really be called by that poor guy?

But then she thought, how could it be possible! That poor guy couldn't possibly know such powerful people.

Kendall got out of the third Rolls-Royce and walked into the Ailia Jewelry Store.

Lacey quickly got up to greet him, but Kendall didn't even glance at her and walked straight towards Alan.

"Young Master, I'm here, and I've brought the money."

As Kendall spoke, he waved his hand. The bodyguards behind him walked into the Ailia Jewelry Store and directly placed the suitcase filled with money on the ground.

When it was opened, it was full of densely packed dollars! Everyone around gasped in shock!

Holy shit! What this guy said turned out to be true!

Goodness, who on earth is this big shot!

Many people took out their phones to take videos. They didn't want to miss such a shocking scene.

However, Kendall's bodyguards immediately cleared them all out, and they could only film the back of Alan's head.

Alan pointed at the cash all over the place and asked Lacey, "Didn't you say you've never seen so much money?

Have you seen it now?"

Lacey was so scared that her soul almost flew away. She nodded submissively, "Yes, I have, I have."

Alan said to Kendall, "I want to see the manager of this store."

Kendall nodded, took out his phone, flipped through it for a moment, and then dialed a number.

As soon as the call connected, he directly cursed into the phone, "You son of a bitch. I'm Kendall. I'm at the Ailia Jewelry Store right now. I'll give you one minute. Appear in front of me right away!

Otherwise, I'll have someone burn down the Ailia Jewelry Store! And then have someone break your legs!"

    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.

    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. 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

    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

    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
