Matthew was the one who responded most passionately to Sharon Bennet's statement. He keeps on insulting Danny and laughing at the young man's misfortune.

Laura felt sorry for Danny, who was in a bad State and had difficulty surviving. But she didn't want to show it. She chose to lift her chin haughtily and show everyone that she hadn't lost anything with her divorce.

'It's your own fault for protesting what I did! You should have restrained yourself and been patient with me. Now look at you; you have no life!' Laura thought as she squinted at Danny.

Meanwhile, Danny looked so relaxed after hearing Sharon Bennet's decision. But as the new President of the Phoenix Crest Group, he had to learn more about Sharon Bennet. When he arrived at the company for the first time, this would affect his decision to keep the vice president or fire her.

Danny now approached Sharon Bennet. She gave him a cynical glance. She said to herself, 'Now, what are you doing? Persuading me? I won't be easy to persuade, but looking at his attractive appearance, I think I can play a little.'

The Phoenix Crest Group Vice President thought, 'Hmm, I guess asking him to beg while prostrating himself three times before me wouldn't be such a bad thing.'

Sharon Bennet laughed at the thought. Then she looked away as Danny approached her and cleared his throat.

"What are you here for? Do you regret turning down my offer? It's too late!" Sharon exclaimed and looked away from Danny.

Danny smiled slightly and said, "Hmm, before I tell you what I'm here for, I think I should show my admiration."

Danny paused and chuckled again while Sharon stroked her face with her index finger, showing her arrogance. Her sardonic smile was clearly meant to patronize Danny.

"I must admit that you have a lot of confidence. I don't know where you got it, to the point where you think I'm here to beg you. Let me get this straight!" Danny brought his face close to Sharon's ear once again. "This is not going to happen!"

Sharon Bennet glared at Danny, and she bit her lip. Once again, the young man in front of her was upsetting her. 'Damn it! How did I meet someone like him? In one day, I don't know how many times he embarrassed me.'

"If it's not to ask for my help, what did you come here for? Isn't my decision already clear? You're banned from all industries under the Phoenix Crest Group and the escort service?" Sharon retorted curtly.

Danny smiled slightly, "I was just wondering about your statement. Did you say that you wanted to represent the Phoenix Crest Group or for yourself?

"Of course, I represent both," Sharon replied dismissively.

Danny chuckled again. "You represent both? Aren't you just a vice president of the Phoenix Crest Group? How can you have that much authority?"

Sharon was silent. She didn't think that the parasite man, who was considered a hobo, could ask such a penetrating and sharp question like a dagger. But Sharon didn't want to feel embarrassed; she had to look confident and classy.

She had an essential position in Northern Coastal but was not the number one person in Phoenix Crest Group. To be more precise, she could not make decisions on behalf of the company; everything had to be approved by the President unless she was related to the President.

Unfortunately, in reality, Sharon Bennet is a nobody in the eyes of the President of the Phoenix Crest Group. She was nothing more than an employee paid to do the bidding.

Sharon took a long breath and said slowly, "Huh, I didn't want to say this, but since this rascal has been looking for trouble ever since, I can't help but reveal it."

Danny watched Sharon Bennet and began to guess what the 35-year-old woman would say.

"Actually, Young Master Lancaster and I have a special relationship. We are dating and will soon be engaged," Sharon Bennet replied softly.

Miss Bennet's statement elicited various reactions from the guests. Most girls were jealous of Miss Bennet's good fortune, and there was no chance for them to get to know Young Master Lancaster. Meanwhile, many of the men felt inferior because there was no way they could compete with Young Master Lancaster for Miss Bennet.

"Miss Bennet and Young Master Lancaster are indeed very compatible. Someone like you is only compatible with the President of the Phoenix Crest Group." An invited guest complimented her and made Sharon's cheeks start to blush.

"Humph! The in-laws in the Huxley family are useless and stupid. Miss Bennet is engaged to Young Master Lancaster; surely she can represent the company!" another guest exclaimed.

Danny was silent, not because he felt insulted by the people's insults. But he was questioning his relationship with Sharon Bennet. 'When did I date her? I just seeing her now. I'm so unlucky today that a vice president would dare to claim to be my girlfriend. I should discuss this with grandfather.'

"Miss Bennet, if you and Young Master Lancaster are in a romantic relationship, why didn't you tell us earlier?" asked Desmond, desperately hoping for investment help from the Phoenix Crest Group.

Sharon took a deep breath and said, "My boyfriend is earnest and professional. He can always tell the difference between being my boss and being my boyfriend. He's strict and authoritative in the office but can be spoiled and romantic when we're together outside work."

The girls who heard this became enthusiastic and wanted to know what Young Master Lancester had given her. Sharon only responded with a smile. "Hmm, I can't count what he has given me. But for my engagement tomorrow, he bought a yacht, and as our engagement venue, we're going on a cruise."

Sharon closed her mouth and said, "Sorry, I said too much. We have both promised not to publicly reveal our relationship until the time comes. We are both so ambitious in our careers that we don't want this relationship to interfere with our performance. Since I've already said that, I ask you to keep this a secret."

Danny shook his head, the woman's nonsense getting worse. He even pretended to sneeze while saying the word 'bullshit.' At that moment, some of the invited guests turned to him.

"What did you just say?"

  • 35. Do You Regret It?

    This time, the three women peeping at the door began to admire and respect Danny. They continued to whisper about the greatness of the new President of the company where they worked.Finally, Danny heard a noise and glanced at the open door. The three girls immediately ran away and returned to their respective desks.That's when Danny smiled and stepped closer to Sharon, squinting, "Miss Bennet, why did you kneel before me on my first day here? Isn't this attitude you're showing too much?"Danny then glanced at his grandfather with a faint smile. Then he stood up and folded his arms across his chest.Sharon Bennet, still kneeling, looked down at the floor and thought, 'If you think my respect is excessive, why don't you help me stand up? You're really embarrassing me. Moreover, your grandfather's bodyguards and the three employees are peeping behind the door. What will they say about me?'This situation really made Sharon feel awkward and humiliated. She was used to making men subdue

  • 34. The Conqueror

    Sharon Bennet is a role model for Phoenix Crest Group's female employees. Not because of her career success or her looks, but because of her ability to conquer great men.Even though she is only a vice president, she can bring the company's big bosses to their knees. As happened a few weeks ago, a notoriously tricky and stubborn CEO of a property company knelt in front of her while bowing down, asking for forgiveness. The man had just made a big deal out of the Phoenix Crest Group, but as soon as Miss Bennet arrived, the situation turned around."Miss Bennet, you're right. I really have a lot to learn from you," Jennifer said enthusiastically.The other two employees were no less enthusiastic than Jennifer. They seemed impatient to see the spectacle of a President bowing to a female vice president and kneeling before her.Sharon then took the compact powder in her bag, glanced at her face in the mirror, and ensured her makeup was perfect. Then she straightened her clothes and sprayed

  • 33. I am The President

    As soon as the door opened, Jennifer saw a young man sitting with his legs crossed while reading some essential documents. Jennifer, accompanying Mr. Big, immediately tried to make a good impression on him.Boldly, she stepped forward towards him. "Hey, who are you? How dare you enter the private room of the President of Phoenix Crest Group? Are you tired of living?"The man was Danny. He immediately put down the file he was reading and glanced at his grandfather, who was trying to restrain himself from being provoked by Jennifer's attitude."Who are you to go into the president's office?" Danny asked sarcastically."I'm Miss Sharon Bennet's personal secretary! She ordered meek on suspicious people who come to our office!" Jennifer exclaimed confidently, and then the girl glanced at Mr. Big's bodyguard and stood up. "Ha ha, you've been caught red-handed and can't run away anymore. Behind me is the Grand Master's personal guard of well-trained men. They will definitely beat you up!"D

  • 32. The Intruder

    At that very moment, the people sent by Tom watched Danny's movements; as soon as Laura's ex-husband entered the elevator, one immediately contacted Tom Harold."Young Master Harold, that man has entered the Phoenix Crest Tower in the central business district.""What did you say?" Still sitting on his bedroom balcony, smoking a cigarette, Tom gasped in shock.Tom's messenger then told him how Danny had gotten in, and the man was enraged. He stomped his cigarette violently in the ashtray and cursed, "You bastard!""What's he doing there? Didn't Sharon Bennet make a deal with the Huxley family to block that useless man from the Phoenix Crest group, but he came to the main building instead." Tom folded his arms across his chest in thought, suddenly coming up with something. "Wait, is it possible that he came here to take revenge and teach Miss Sharon Bennet a lesson?"Tom nodded his head and decided to contact Sharon Bennet. When Miss Bennet arrived at his grandmother Laura's birthday p

  • 31. The First Day

    Tom clenched his fists tightly as he watched Laura move further away. The Huxley family's former son-in-law really annoyed him this time."Danny, watch out! You can piss me off and embarrass me today, but once you get out of this hotel I'll make sure you regret it for the rest of your life!" exclaimed Tom as he left the corridor.Tom pulled his cell phone from his pocket and immediately dialed Fred Nelson. "Fred, you must notify me as soon as the guest staying in the Presidential Suite leaves the hotel!"Until now, Tom still couldn't accept that Danny had rented the President's suite at Pine Royal Resort. He still thought Danny was a lousy person who didn't belong here.'Huh! You'll see, as soon as you get out of here I'll make you regret knowing me!' Tom mentally entered the elevator and left the hotel.A week later...It was Danny's last day to stay in the President's Suite. He had finished his breakfast and was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his hair smeared with pomade and n

  • 30. Is He a Gigolo?

    Danny took a long breath and began, "It was all arranged by my grandfather Robert Lancester as a form of maturation before I took up my duties as the sole heir of the Lancester family."The two policemen just kept quiet and nodded. They both knew that some rich people did have unusual habits.After saying this, Danny took a deep breath and said, "Sir, you have both heard a lot from me, and already know that I did not commit the theft as alleged. Now I ask that you both keep this a secret from anyone including the two men at the door!"The two policemen nodded. They had done Danny wrong. They had both offended the Lancester family, which could be bad for their careers."Sir, of course we will both keep this a secret. You have nothing to worry about." Officer Warren then paused for a moment and again said carefully. "Sir, we have both made a mistake and offended you. Is this all we need to do to keep you from reporting this to our commander?"Danny then laughed at the fear of the two o
