And this was the person Zedekiah wanted to introduce to Cyrus.Edmund smiled. “That’s great. I should get to know such a talented man!”For Edmund, having a meal with Zedekiah and Redmond was like a pathway to success provided by God.Plus, if the news of him having a meal with Zedekiah and Redmond made its way into media reports, his status would improve greatly. And this was possible because of the young man named Cyrus, who worked for Gardner Corporation. Edmund could tell that Zedekiah cared a lot about Cyrus. Cyrus, who got treated well by Zedekiah, must have a unique background. Edmund wanted to grab this opportunity to get to know him!Edmund knew that he needed to build a good relationship with Cyrus. Zedekiah smiled and looked at Redmond. “Could you give Cyrus a call to see if he is on his way? If not, you can go and pick him up.”Redmond nodded. “Okay.”He immediately called Cyrus.Edmund was shocked when he heard that Zedekiah was asking Redmond to go and pick
Hiss!Nathan woke up after being called by his men. His wounds had been cleaned and dressed by his subordinates. “Get lost! You guys are useless!”Nathan kicked away the subordinates who were beside him. He was furious when he thought about what had just happened.“He can fight, right? I want to see how well he can fight!”Nathan’s expression was ferocious. He took out his phone and made a phone call. “Bring thirty men over and wait for me at the basement parking lot of Ember Hotel!”After he hung up, he could feel the pain in his back and face. He vented his anger by throwing things. ‘Bloody h*ll! That man ruined my plan! I won’t forgive him!’He only got angrier as he thought about it. Then, he called his colleagues. “George, I remember that you had performed a quality check on the Gardner Corporation project, right? Tell me some flaws you found!”“Julius, aren’t you in charge of one of the projects of Gardner Corporation? Get me some negative news about this project!”
“Stop it!”Edmund immediately finished peeing and ran toward Cyrus. He had decided to keep a good relationship with Cyrus no matter the cost!But when he returned, Edmund saw Nathan ordering his men to attack Cyrus.He was startled when he saw what Nathan was trying to do.“Nathan Zuniga! You, useless man! What are you trying to do to Mr. Salazar?!”Nathan felt a chill run down his spine. When he turned around, he saw Edmund. He stammered, “Mr... Cartmill…”The gangsters around him also stopped moving. Edmund wore a gloomy expression. He stared at Nathan and was furious. Bang!Edmund raised his palm and slapped Nathan hard. Nathan’s face was already injured. This slap made him feel even more pain, causing his body to tremble vigorously. “Mr. Zuniga! You’re very cool, huh?! You’re even more impressive than me now!”Nathan trembled and said, “No…”Edmund glared at those gangsters fiercely, “Don’t you know how to leave?”These people understood that they could not offe
It was about 9 p.m. when Korah woke up. She sat up scared, looked around, and realized that she was home. What happened? Was she not at Ember Hotel? Why was she back?Delilah walked into the room. When she saw that Korah was finally awake, she asked worriedly, “Korah, how do you feel?”“Mom…” Korah calmed herself down and shook her head. “I’m fine… Why am I home now?”“Four bodyguards brought you home. It was too dangerous. You almost fell into the trap. If it weren’t for them… I’m not sure what would have happened to you.”When Mrs. Gardner remembered seeing the four bodyguards carry an unconscious Korah in, she was terrified!Korah sighed in relief. “I’m so grateful for them. If not for them, I would be…”Korah was also scared of what had almost happened. Nathan Zuniga was a b*stard!“Don’t worry. Your dad has rewarded those four bodyguards. When you’re back at the office tomorrow, do remember to say thank you to them.”“I will.” Korah nodded. Korah was impressed that t
“Hmm, you’re awesome, Mr. Kace! It’s my first time being fully healed within such a short time!”“It’s good that you’ve recovered.”Kayson did not pay too much attention to Easton but returned to his seat. Noticing that Kayson did not seem to be in a good mood, Easton asked curiously, “Mr. Kace, did something displease you?”Kayson was about to speak when the woman who had informed them about the meeting yesterday showed up at the door.“The team leader of The Tetrad, please attend the meeting in Boardroom 3!”“Meeting again?” Easton was momentarily stunned, but he said soon afterward, “It will be better if you go, Mr. Kace.”“That’s kind of inappropriate, right?”“It’s not inappropriate!” Easton hastily said, “You’re the leader of The Tetrad, and I’ll punish whoever dares to object!” At the thought of the solemn ambiance in the car on the way to the company, Kayson felt that it was indeed necessary for him to find out the situation.In the boardroom…Miles made a fuss ins
Archer alone was already enough to stir up panic amongst the staff members of Wolfenden Corp. Now that Faris, Archer’s superior, was here, perhaps it would be better off for Wolfenden Corp. to venture into other businesses from now on. Sadie’s face was ghastly pale. Faris was Archer’s immediate superior!Archer had actually invited a bigshot like Faris to the company. Was he trying to get her killed?The expressions of the leaders from the other departments changed drastically as well. Some expressed their panic, fear, and displeasure. The chief of the human resources department, River, could not refrain from looking toward Miles and wondered whether this was Miles’ doing.River wondered how Archer could be so influential that he could even alert Faris. Also, he wondered what Sadie had done last night to infuriate Archer to this extent.Meanwhile, River thought to himself, ‘Don’t ever offend Miles.‘Perhaps Sadie will need to retire from her position after today. Don’t ever th
Kayson saw Faris after getting out of the elevator. After seeing Faris' emotional gaze, he knew everything would be fine today. However, he furrowed his eyebrows instantly at the sight of Faris approaching him in a rush as he was about to call out to him. Thus, he signaled with his eyes. Faris was very good at observing people, so he understood the situation instantly upon seeing Kayson’s insinuation. “May I inquire where Ms. Wolfenden is?”He retracted his gaze that was fixed on Kayson in time and turned to look at Sean.“Ms. Wolfenden… is right behind us. She’ll be here soon.” Sean looked at Faris suspiciously. He remembered hearing Faris call out ‘Mr. Yar’ earlier, yet he changed his remark to ‘May’ in an instant.Sean did not have the time to ponder further, so he said in a respectful tone, “Mr. Cook, Ms. Wolfenden is still young, and she may be relatively impulsive in her behavior—”“Hehehe, Mr. Batley, that’s quite inappropriate for you to say that. Is being young an ex
Sadie and Faris chatted in delight inside the reception room next to the general manager’s office.Faris thought it would be inappropriate to stay long, so he got up in preparation after half an hour.After sending Faris to the door, Sadie made a call to report the good news. “Dad, the company is fine now! Mr. Cook and I chatted for a bit, and he just left.”“I’ve already found out about the situation. However, did Mr. Cook tell you why he’s helping you, Sadie?”Sadie paused for a moment before saying, “I asked him about that. He claimed that he just could not stand Archer’s despicable, shameless behavior anymore.”Liam said in suspicion, “Is that all?”“That’s what he said,” answered Sadie in puzzlement. “Alright then. Quite a few quality control chiefs called me up earlier to apologize. They claimed that they had too many drinks last night and had already passed most of our major projects.”“That’s awesome!” Sadie’s gaze turned cold. “However, Miles… He has been watching me
