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!"
