Desmond clenched his fists tightly, and his teeth chattered. At that moment, he was genuinely embarrassed by a nephew he had always looked down on. It felt as if Desmond's face had been splashed with dirty water.

However, Desmond did not want to show his weakness in front of Laura and his sister. Where would he put his face if that happened? He regained his composure, rubbed his chin, and nodded.

“It seems that the smart city project proposed by our company has indeed caught the attention of the president of Phoenix Crest Group. Regardless of who visits his office, he will definitely sign the cooperation agreement,” Desmond said in as calm a tone as possible.

Matthew and Susan nodded.

“Laura, don’t be too arrogant! What you got this time was just a coincidence! You came when Mr. Lancaster had already finished signing it. If you had come earlier, you wouldn’t have gotten this opportunity. Mr. Lancaster would have given it to me!” Susan insisted.

    Clinton felt now was the right time to report Danny to Sharon for opening his cell phone without permission. Clint hoped Sharon would fire Danny, and he would have more freedom to approach Sharon.Clint narrowed his eyes at Danny and said again, "Yes, I just sent you a gift of $200,000 and got your personal cell phone number. But this brat took your phone and opened your WhatsApp messages. Even though he is your personal assistant, isn't what he did a violation of privacy?"Clint conveyed his complaint to Sharon. Meanwhile, Danny glanced at him cynically, "Who are you calling a brat here?"At that moment, Clint glanced cynically at Danny and said firmly, "If you're not a kid, then show me your ID and compare it with mine. Even though I look younger than you, I'm actually older. You should respect me!"Seeing this, Sharon immediately took action. She didn't want Danny to get into trouble with his coworkers."He's my boyfriend," said Sharon."He's your boyfriend?" asked Clinton incredul

    a"Wait! You can't send private messages to Sharon's WhatsApp account! You didn't pay a penny to get it!" protested Clint.Clint thought Danny might have secretly memorized Sharon's number, so he tried to grab Danny's phone and smash it.But before that happened, Danny pushed him away, causing the effeminate man to almost fall backwards."Move!"When Danny opened the WhatsApp app, he laughed mockingly, "Clint Andrews, you use a profile picture that says CA with a pink background and a ribbon. People who don't know you would think you're a woman.""Hmm, yes, CA are the initials of my name, Clinton Andrews. I like pink, and the design I ordered for my logo is beautiful. What's the problem?" Clint asked, clearly unhappy with Danny's sarcasm.But a few seconds after saying that, he gasped in surprise, "Wait, how did you know my WhatsApp profile picture?"Danny didn't answer. He just smiled slightly and showed Clint his phone screen. It was clear that the message he had just sent was on the

    "Ouch!" Clint screamed in pain as he held his chin, which Danny had just punched. A feminine and weak man like him could clearly not take a punch from Danny."You! You! How dare a bum like you hit me? I'm going to call security to arrest you and teach you a lesson! Oh no... no, I'll call someone to kill you!" Clint muttered.At that moment, he sat on the floor, pointing his finger at Danny. His face clearly showed pain, and he began to cry.However, Danny looked confused. This was the first time he had heard such an undaunting threat. To him, it was like a child's game."Ha ha ha, I don't care who you call here! It means nothing to me! I will still hit you and hurt you because you dared to make disgusting and disrespectful comments about Sharon, my girlfriend!"Danny slapped the man's cheek.That's when Clint stood up with his hands on his hips. "So you still want to fight me? Fine then. Let's just say that we are now competing for Sharon, and I will definitely teach you a lesson!"A

But this time, he suddenly felt compelled to find out the truth and kill some time.Not far from the room where Sharon was doing her live stream, another room was open. A man in a feminine style was sitting there, and in front of him were dozens of cell phones, each displaying Sharon's live stream."Hmm, just as I thought," Danny muttered as he continued to watch. 'Apparently, this feminine man is being paid to give fake comments. At that moment, Danny quietly approached the man. However, the man didn't notice him because he was too busy giving virtual gifts to Sharon's live stream.At that moment, the phone screen showed Sharon elegantly applying new lipstick. The man in front of Danny immediately typed a compliment."The velvet rouge color really suits your sensual lips."Then the man picked up another phone and typed the same comment. "Oh, that lipstick color is perfect for your beauti

    At that moment, Celia immediately took Sharon's hand and headed for the elevator. Danny followed them until the elevator doors opened on the 11th floor.The employees there were predominantly women, with only a few men, but they behaved as gracefully as women. Perhaps because Celia's business was in the beauty industry, she needed feminine men.Even so, they still represented the character of the hurried Southern Coastal people. Danny was not surprised; he thought every place had its own characteristics.This time, Celia pulled Sharon into a room with spotlights and a backdrop of shelves filled with various Celia Beauty products. In front of them was a young girl staring at her cell phone screen and holding up several products."Oh, so she's selling through live streaming?"Upon entering the room, Celia suddenly stopped and turned to Danny. "Wait! What was your name again?""Oh, I'm..."Before Danny could answer, Celia waved her hand again, "Oh, never mind. Now sit here quietly and do

They immediately took care of the car delivered yesterday via courier service.Southern Coastal areas are indeed more modern than northern coastal areas, where people tend to live a slower pace of life. Here, everyone tends to be in a hurry, as if the people here are thirsty for validation and try to follow the standards set by the media.In the past three years, Danny had visited Southern Coastal several times to take Laura and Rose. He had to drive for more than 15 hours to pamper them all.The two women 's-only destinations were shopping malls, restaurants, cafes, and popular nightclubs.
