Mending his relationship with Leona had not been easy, and Matthias did not want such an insignificant matter to ruin it.He thought about it and ordered Alpha, "Tomorrow, go ahead and..."The next day, at Wealthtrack Financial Corporation's sales department.Blair arrived early at the office, surrounded by several employees who were close to her."Ms. Anderson, did Leona offend you or something? You set her an impossible sales target of 1.5 million dollars for the month. "She's just a newbie—no way she can hit that target, no matter how hard she tries."A fashionably dressed woman flattered Blair with a fawning tone."Even if she hasn't crossed Ms. Anderson, her word is law in our sales department. If Leona can't meet the target, she should just leave!"Someone else chimed in, and the group continued to shower Blair with praise.Blair's eyes gleamed with satisfaction as she spoke casually, "Well, Leona and I were college roommates. She had a bad reputation and always hung ou
With the contract in her hand, Blair adjusted her appearance as she followed the salesperson to the meeting room.Inside, a middle-aged man sat nervously, reflecting on the phone call he had received the previous night.His superior, Victor, had instructed him to deposit 15 million dollars into the account of a salesperson named Leona Whitney at Wealthtrack Financial Corporation.He had been warned to act normal and not raise any suspicion, or his safety would be at risk!As he thought about that, the man grew more anxious.The mysterious salesperson must be from a high-ranking family whose status far exceeded his own.As she entered the room, Blair greeted the man respectfully, "Good morning, sir. I'm Blair Anderson, Wealthtrack Financial Corporation's sales department manager. Are you here to invest 15 million dollars with us?"Ernie Passey was so anxious that he did not catch Blair introducing herself, only hearing the later part of her sentence.He immediately stood up, his
The surrounding colleagues voiced their disapproval, and Blair's face grew darker.She glared at Ernie with contempt as she insulted him, "I almost fell for your acting, thinking you're an important client. Sir, do you want to leave on your own, or should I call security to escort you out?"Ernie slapped Blair across the face.Victor had instructed him to be careful around Leona, but that did not mean he had to tolerate disrespect from anyone else."Get out! If we weren't in Wealthtrack right now, you'd be long dead!" Ernie cursed, his disgust evident.Blair was stunned, holding her face in shock.Did he just hit her?"You bastard! How dare you slap me? You're just a hired actor! You must be looking for trouble!" Blair lashed out.She grabbed the contract and aimed to throw it at Ernie."Go ahead! I'll make sure you regret it!" Ernie's gaze was murderous as he stared Blair down.She hesitated, realizing that if she fought him, she would be outmatched by his physical strength.
The sight of Kyle bowing and fawning before Ernie left everyone in the conference room stunned and disbelieving, especially Blair.She could not believe her eyes, wondering if it was all just a dream."Mr. Willcox, he's just an actor hired by Leona. Don't let them fool you!" Blair tried to warn Kyle.Kyle's face grew paler upon hearing Blair's words, breaking out in cold sweats.He glared at Blair and yelled angrily, "Shut up! Who do you think you are? Do you want to get fired? This is my boss, a shareholder of Wealthtrack!"Blair was shocked, and her legs almost gave out on her.Ernie was Kyle's superior and a shareholder of Wealthtrack Financial Corporation!What had she done?She had nearly struck someone of such high importance!Ernie looked at Kyle with disdain and scoffed."Kyle, it's been a while, and it seems like you've gotten bolder. Your damn manager just tried to strike me, even wanting me to leave.""Mr. Passey, I'm so sorry!" Kyle said quickly, panic written al
"Oh, alright," Leona said as she sat down and picked up the pen to sign the contract.Just as she was about to sign it, she suddenly stopped and looked at Ernie suspiciously."Did Matthias send you?"Leona was not foolish; only Matthias could orchestrate something like this.The thought made her a bit angry, as she did not want to rely on Matthias' influence; she wanted to achieve success on her own."Matthias? Who is Matthias?" Ernie asked, genuinely confused.Victor had not mentioned anyone by that name.However, Ernie was quick on his feet and replied with a smile, "Ms. Whitney, I don't know anyone named Matthias. I'm here to sign the contract not because of you but because Blair's behavior was so awful that I wanted to deal with someone else."As a shareholder of Wealthtrack, signing this contract is like moving my money from one account to another."Just sign the contract. I have other matters to attend to."Ernie sat back in his chair with a haughty expression, though h
Blair spent the entire day anxiously awaiting disciplinary action from the company.Yet, as the day dragged on, nothing happened.It was as if the morning's events had never occurred, leaving Blair utterly bewildered.As the workday drew close, Matthias waited patiently beside the car he had bought for Leona.The car was covered in black cloth, and he was excited to surprise her.Matthias' eyes lit up when he saw Leona emerge from the building, her face glowing with joy."Matt, let's not take the bus today! I just closed a major deal and earned a huge commission. Let's take a cab home!" Leona called out excitedly as she approached.Matthias smiled, pleased to see Leona so happy.He planned to reward Alpha later for doing a great job!Matthias was about to reveal the surprise when a mocking voice suddenly sounded."Taking a cab? Leona, what have you been doing these past three years? Why are you still so broke?"It was Blair.Blair had assumed Leona must have some powerful b
"Leona, while you've been doing nothing for the past three years, I've been pushing forward. I'm way ahead of you now!"Blair's tone was laced with disdain, and she felt a surge of satisfaction as she finally avenged the humiliation she felt earlier.Leona bit her lip, obviously affected by Blair's words.She had not been doing nothing for the past three years. In fact, she had worked harder than anyone else, never taking a single day off and juggling multiple part-time jobs!All because she had to hide from the Whitney family while supporting Danielle.Even though it made her life demanding, it was also fulfilling."Honey, is this your colleague? How do you work with someone who has such a foul mouth? It's unbearable!" Matthias chimed in.He put his arm around Leona's shoulder, his gaze coldly fixed on Blair.Blair's expression darkened immediately.She glared at Matthias with contempt and retorted, "Shut up! Who do you think you are to talk to me like that? You're just a nob
When Matthias and Leona returned home, their relationship was no longer distant and formal.Instead, Leona often showed a softer side, and their bond gradually returned to its former warmth.When Danielle saw the car Matthias had given Leona, she felt jealous.She pouted and refused to smile at Matthias."Daddy, you're being unfair! Mommy got a gift for going to work, but why didn't I get anything for going to school?" Danielle complained, her eyes starting to tear up.She said, "Daddy doesn't love me anymore! Daddy only loves Mommy! Nobody loves me!"Leona gave a helpless smile.She wanted to comfort Danielle, but the little girl turned away, ignoring her.Matthias chuckled as he took out a small jewelry box.Danielle was just about to cry when a glimmer of light caught her eye."How could I forget about you, Dani? I promised you stars from the sky, but stars are too far away, so I spent days getting them just for you!"Matthias held a necklace adorned with tiny stars, each
