"What did you just say? How did Axel agree?" Amelia asked in disbelief. She hoped that what she had heard wasn't true."I don't understand why you're reacting so dramatically. Is there something bothering you, or are you dissatisfied?" Instead of responding to Amelia's request to confirm, Mr. Smith expressed a condescending attitude towards his daughter's apparent lack of intelligence."You said Axel agreed willingly," Amelia exclaimed, her face showing deep shock at the news. "That can't be true, can it? You're joking, right?""Unfortunately, no," Mr. Smith emphasized, his stern expression at this moment quite detestable. "Axel willingly accepted my orders. He's smart and knows when to comply. So, there's no need for you to be surprised by Axel's decision.""I don't believe it," Amelia vehemently denied. "You must be lying. This can't possibly be happening." Amelia believed that Mr. Smith was saying this to deceive her, perhaps to make her give up her intention."Believe it or not, t
Two days have passed since the conversation between Axel and Mr. Smith, and today, Axel received a new notification from his father. There would be a party hosted by Taylor, and he was requested to prepare himself to attend. After ending the phone call with Mr. Smith, Axel turned his attention to John, who had been in the room with him for a while. "Axel, what's the purpose of Taylor organizing this event?" John was curious to know. "According to my father, it's to commemorate the founding day of the Taylor Corporation," Axel casually replied. "Do you really think it's that simple?" "No," Axel affirmed firmly. "Could it be related to you and your scandal?" John expressed his concern. "I know what you're thinking, John," Axel acknowledged. "And I agree with your inference." "So, how do you plan to deal with this?" "It depends on our preparation," Axel emphasized. "So, John, how far have we come with that?" "It's all set," John replied, calming Axel's anxiety and tension. "And
When Axel appeared at the hotel with John, he noticed that there were many invited guests at the party, including journalists. It was clear that Taylor's family had prepared meticulously for this important and grand event. Standing near the entrance area, Axel happened to glance in Rosa's direction and saw her looking cheerful, engrossed in conversation with her friends. Rosa's confidence and arrogance at the evening party today annoyed Axel greatly. He really didn't want to confront or even speak to Rosa. Just as Axel was looking away, Rosa noticed him. Rosa quickly bid farewell to a few of her friends, then excitedly approached Axel, who was standing with John. Axel didn't notice Rosa approaching him, but John did. John immediately issued a warning to Axel. "It seems that before the storm hits tonight, you won't get the peace you desire, Axel. We've just set sail, and there's already a strong wind blowing." "What do you mean by that?" Axel wondered, finding John's words rather cr
It is not beyond Axel's expectations; with every step he took, he drew the attention of those around him. Most of them gossip about his scandal. Ignoring the whispered conversations around him, Axel made his way to his group of friends."Do you think provoking Rosa was a wise move, Axel?" John asked as he followed Axel. "Not to mention, you revealed your intentions to her.""I did it intentionally," Axel admitted."Why?" John still doesn't understand Axel's purpose in doing so."I wanted to gauge Rosa's reaction before we took action," Axel explained."And do you think we got a positive result?" John asked further."As you can see, Rosa is quite resolute and adept at withstanding pressure," Axel casually concluded."It seems like that could be a hindrance for us in getting Rosa to confess, doesn't it?" John expressed his concern."Not exactly." Axel confidently said, "While I may not make Rosa worried enough to reveal any vulnerabilities, I know how to deal with her.""Oh, what's that
"Everything I've said is the truth. Through this event tonight, I want to clarify the malicious rumors targeting Axel. I hope everyone will discern right from wrong and refrain from engaging in online violence against Axel and that unfortunate woman." Rosa spoke humbly, bowing her head as if seeking the crowd's favor. Her noble act both impressed and moved the audience. However, some saw through Rosa's performance, viewing her as an adept and hypocritical manipulator. To be honest, Axel admired Rosa's idea. The story she presented was compelling and convincing. However, there was one thing Axel despised: Rosa's audacity to insult and belittle Daisy to elevate herself. It was truly despicable, and Axel was confident that Rosa deserved the retribution he had prepared for her. Seeing that the majority of people were leaning towards Rosa, Mr. Taylor used this as an opportunity to proceed with the next step of the plan. "As a father, I have full trust in my future son-in-law, Axel Smith
Not wanting to engage with Rosa any longer and not wishing to waste everyone's time, Axel turned to the crowd and declared firmly: "Do you all know where my scandal originated? Who is the mastermind behind it all?" As the entire hall remained silent, trying to process Axel's question, Tom once again took the spotlight. "Yes. We want to know. Please tell us." Tom exclaimed loudly, stirring up the crowd and aiding Axel's cause. "What's the real story here? Please explain it to us," Dion casually inquired, his curiosity getting the best of him, a sentiment shared by most in the audience. "That's right, tell us," the crowd collectively urged. Encouraged by the support, Axel turned his gaze towards Rosa with a challenging look. Rosa felt a shiver down her spine as she understood Axel's insinuation. "The truth is, it was Rosa herself who spread all the damaging rumors about me," Axel stated, without caring about Rosa's visibly pale face, speaking loudly and confidently, "and the purp
Taking advantage of the chaos in the hall, Axel swiftly dodged the reporters and found an escape route to make a successful exit. At this moment, he was heading towards his car. The thought of going home and seeing Daisy and their son Henry made Axel unusually excited."Axel, wait a moment." Suddenly, a familiar voice called out, causing Axel to stop in his tracks. He turned around and saw Amelia hurrying towards him. Judging by Amelia's expression, Axel could guess the reason his big sister had come to find him."What's going on, Amelia? Do you need a ride somewhere?" Axel deliberately teased with a playful tone as his big sister stood before him."What just happened in the hall?" In contrast to Axel's relaxed and carefree demeanor, Amelia appeared serious, determined to get an explanation. "Is this the solution you were talking about?"Amelia's intense reaction shows that Axel should not continue joking around, or else Amelia will truly get angry."Yes, that's right," Axel confirmed
The following day, news related to the Smith Corporation, Taylor Corporation, Rosa, and Axel exploded dramatically. No one could have anticipated the dangerous move that Axel had unleashed, and the impact of Axel's actions was immense. For the Smith Corporation, they suffered a significant loss as their most profitable subsidiary, GDP, was no longer under their management and control. It was clear that Axel had meticulously planned for his freedom. In reality, Axel had long been looking forward to the day he could leave the Smith Corporation, and now that opportunity had arrived, so Axel seized it without hesitation. All the documents related to the transfer of executive authority to John Amber were completely legitimate and in accordance with the law. Therefore, Smith couldn't do anything to change the situation. On the other hand, thanks to his talent, John was welcomed and supported by employees in the GDP company to become the new leader of the company. As for GDP, news of the c
