"How dare you call me an ass." Edward looked very angry now. The veins on his face stood out very clearly at the tip of his right temple. "You're the one who sucks, damn it.""How dare you push my husband so hard that he almost fell into the pool." Gisel did not stay silent in Edward's defense. He pulled Edward's arm away from the pool. "You are indeed a bad man."Gisel rubbed Edward's chest. I wonder what would have happened if Edward had fallen into the pool. It would be embarrassing and ruin their reputation in front of Robin and Annela. Gisel could even feel Edward's heartbeat racing because the man must have been shocked by Noah's treatment earlier.Gisel rubbed Edward's arm with a searching look. "Are you okay?" Edward only replied with a nod of his head. Gisel looked back at Noah sharply. "It's unbelievable. You mistreated your former boss, Noah."Noah rolled his eyes at their banter. "You're the one who started first.""What are you talking about? You attacked me, and now you'
"Of course, I know about it. Do you even know what structural is?" Edward snorted in annoyance. "Pretentious, asking something like that." He lifted his chin arrogantly. "The leader in this company is Thomas Coopers."That was true. Thomas Coopers was the leader in the mall because Noah made him the CEO of this mall. Edward mentioned it confidently, but Noah wasn't sure if they knew each other.Seeing Noah's reaction, which seemed to be silent, made him confident and sure that Noah was surprised by that. "Why are you silent? You're surprised to hear that, aren't you?""We are part of the people who own shares here, so you should understand that." Edward pointed it out, explaining to Noah that he and Robin were shareholders in the Grand Nationwide Mall.He was delighted to say that. Back then, he had a lot of respect for Ruby, who was smart and became a successful career woman. They had worked together on a project to win a tender, but they lost. However, he was not disappointed with h
Noah stared intently at Edward. He could never forget the man's face. Even his distinctive voice, which sounded a little hoarse when he used to insult him, still rang clearly in Noah's ears.When Noah was Ruby's husband, he worked odd jobs for that man. The men who worked odd jobs knew Noah had a wonderful wife. It often made Noah the subject of ridicule, and one of them was Edward.Noah rolled his eyes. "Ah, you, Edward. It's here.""How rude." Edward gave Noah a sharp look. He scrunched his waist arrogantly. "You're just an employee, you idiot! How dare you call me names with such disrespect."Noah remembered very well how the man had behaved back when he had been an office boy at Edward's company, and even then, he had been introduced by Ruby. Ever since Noah started working, Edward had never liked Noah."You're a horrible person. Your work is ugly, untidy, and sloppy!" Those words that Edward's mouth often said to Noah, even though all the work that Noah did was perfect compared t
The people around them immediately gathered around them. Suddenly, Noah let go of the boy's hand, and Verrel took the opportunity to run away from Noah. "What's wrong, kid?" A man immediately caught Verrel's body, bent half of it, and held Verrel's shoulders. Seeing many people gathered, Verrel finalized his acting by crying even harder. "Help me." He pointed at Noah with his index finger. "This guy wants to kidnap me." Noah looked at him with a cold stare. "He's lying. I only prevented him from throwing a tree branch into the fish pond." Verrel shook his head vigorously. "No, he didn't. He lied." Verrel held up the tree branch while sobbing. "I wanted to hit him with this branch to protect myself, but he held my hand and wanted to pull me away." Noah was a little surprised to hear what the eight-year-old boy had to say, but he was already speaking like an adult who was good at licking his tongue. Noah had no idea that such a small child could lie and make up stories so cleverly,
"In this company, I don't care where you come from." Noah emphasized that sentence. "I don't care what condition you're in."This really disappointed Noah. He didn't expect such a shameful incident to occur in his company and to come from people who came from families with power. They used that power badly. "I don't need anyone with a surname or anything." Noah's cold eyes became sharper like blades. "What I need are people who work really well."The words stabbed Ronald in the chest. Es, especially the old man who was the company's top man during the course situation, will be labeled as people who have neglected leadership.Noah looked at Arnold, Ronald, and Daniella, who clearly had positions within the company. "In this place, only those who have the ability can have a position."The bespectacled woman smiled, seemingly amazed by Noah's words. She felt better. She was eager to get back to work. She was confident that she could survive and get a position in the company because she h
"You can't do this to us. This is an unfair situation." Bella shouted at the important people in the room, especially her gaze directed at Ronald as the complaint person who shouldn't have called them here. "Unfair?" Noah frowned with one eyebrow raised. "It would be pretty unfair if the company didn't do anything to you guys." Angel snorted in annoyance at Lauren. "What did we do, anyway? We didn't do anything wrong to her." Lauren squeezed her hands together. Her body shook with fear. Half of her felt that this would all be useless because the two women would not admit what they had done to her. But when she glanced at Noah, there was a strange feeling that drove her to speak up in front of everyone in the room. "Lies!" He looked at Angel and Bella with a sharp gaze. "Look, this wound is the wound they made on me." Everyone there stared at Lauren. There was dried blood still left on her left temple and even her cheek still showed redness from the hard slap from Bella. It was al
"Mr. Ronald, I would like to complain about the bad deeds done by Angel and Bella," Lauren said without hesitation. "Look at what they've done to me. I want you to give them the punishment they deserve."The middle-aged man's face changed instantly. His surprise was no longer visible on his face. Now Ronald watched Lauren with a casual look on his face.Ronald exhaled, sitting back in his chair with his body slightly upright. "I can't do anything like that.""What?" Lauren was surprised to hear the statement of the middle-aged man in front of her. "Why?""Well, you know that yourself, don't you." Ronald raised both hands. "They're both female do-gooders who have powerful contacts. Angel is the manager's niece and the daughter of one of the top staff at the company headquarters, while Bella is a great family member and owns some of the highest shares in this company."Lauren was stunned with disbelief. He was stranded by reality. This was the kind of thing he had been dreading all along
Noah looked at Lauren with a cold look in his eyes. "Yeah, that's not my problem. That's your business with them."Lauren flinched slightly at Noah's words, but in reality, it was true. This was not Noah's business, the strange man she had just met today.Noah raised one eyebrow and shrugged his shoulders. "You're going to experience it yourself anyway."Lauren let out an irritated breath. She did not reply to Noah's words and left the man alone because she felt uncomfortable. Lauren also felt disappointed in herself for yelling at the man who saved her.Lauren walked quickly into the bathroom. She removed her glasses, trying to calm herself down by washing her face. She was feeling uncomfortable.Lauren arranged her reflection in the bathroom mirror, looking at her messed-up face. "I am a stupid woman."Lauren rubbed her face roughly. She didn't think she should have done that to Noah. If it wasn't for that man, she couldn't have escaped from Angel and Bella.Lauren exhaled harshly. "
Daniella carried out Noah's orders. The woman explained how the company worked, slightly different from a Fortune Enterprise, but had the same systems and rules."Employees here are required to abide by all the rules without exception. We ensure that they don't make any mistakes that could cost the company dearly." Daniella explained this with some tension as she felt strange having to act like a superior while the company owner was nearby.Noah nodded his head. He thought Daniella did a good job of conveying that. Without having to see how the woman led the company, Noah could already judge for himself.But just as they were about to see some important rooms in the company, Daniella's cell phone rang.Daniella looked at Noah while bowing her head. "Excuse me, sir. It's from a company executive. I need to take the call momentarily."Noah nodded. "Yes, please." He raised one hand, allowing Daniella to take care of business."Excuse me, sir." Daniella bows respectfully, respectfully leav
