"Yes, Chairman!"“Good. Then we will temporarily establish the Marketing Department Group B, with Britney as the group leader. You can choose staff from the company above the manager level as you see fit, primarily to execute and complete this project. As for the existing Marketing Department, it will be Group A, and Group B will need their full support unconditionally.”"Yes!" Kyson Leonard, the former deputy director of the Marketing Department, stood up and responded.Everyone clearly felt the chairman's favoritism, and although other employees had objections, they dared not speak up."Alright, let's adjourn!" Quinten announced, and then called out to Britney, who was packing up, "You stay!"Britney finished packing her things and walked up to Quinten."Chairman!""No one is here now; you can still call me Dad!" Quinten pointed to the lower left position, gesturing for her to sit down."Business is business, and family is family! In the company, you are the chairman, but at home, y
At half past two in the afternoon, the fast food on the table had been sitting there for almost half an hour. Britney crawled out from the pile of files and noticed the meal box; only then did she remember that she hadn't eaten yet.“Ding ding—”Just as she was about to open the packaging to fill her stomach, a chat notification sounded from her computer.Britney busily clicked on the flashing profile picture.'Hugh': Darling, did you look for me?'Britney': Um. With an eye roll.Hugh is Britney's senior, Hugh Donaldson, whom she met while studying abroad. He may seem unreliable when speaking, but he is exceptionally reliable when it comes to doing things.People who don't know him think that he liked her, but in reality, he was like that with everyone.'Hugh': Give me two minutes...Britney’s eye twitched slightly. It was a coincidence that she met this guy, and they often communicated online without meeting in person. She had been worried that Conrad might misunderstand their relati
Most of the shareholders tend to stand on the side of the chairman, after all, the Hammond Group, under Quinten's leadership, has been distributing generous dividends year after year, and the amount has been increasing each year. However, Axel also has his own network within the company, such as Chace Larsen, one of the shareholders, who is a supporter of Axel.Axel took the lead in convening this Board of Directors meeting.Without waiting for Axel's response, Britney continued, "If my proposal is implemented this time, the year-end bonus will increase by at least 30% compared to last year."Some shareholders, upon hearing about the money, had already started calculating how much of the 30% they could get for themselves.But Axel clearly didn't care, as he coldly snorted with an arrogant expression."If it cannot be achieved, then our company will lose a couple hundred million?"Axel's words caused a commotion in the office!A few billion, not just a few million! Those who held fewer
The board meeting ended with Britney achieving a complete victory.Axel left with a dark expression, fuming with anger."Quinten, your daughter’s presence in the business world is just like yours back in the day!” Jaylon exclaimed, pulling Quinten aside.“She’s too arrogant; she still needs more refinement!” Although he said this, Quinten couldn’t hide his pride. Seeing Axel’s defeated expression, he was pleasantly surprised that his daughter managed to stun him.“New talents emerge with each generation! We old guys should step aside and let more young blood into the company!” another shareholder, Brendon Kidd, chuckled.“Exactly! Hearing her passionate speach just now made me feel like I was back in my fighting days again! Hahaha…”Britney and Malia tidied up the files in the conference room. Just as they walked out of the room, their phones rang.Looking at the time, it was already five o'clock. Time really flies!“Since there’s nothing else today, you can leave work early.” After h
Karsyn walked ahead, grinning, “That’s a secret!”If she told Britney, she would probably just turn around and leave. She's not that dumb.In the long corridor, a man approached them, and upon seeing Karsyn and Britney, he greeted them enthusiastically.“Did I see that right? I never expected to run into two beauties here!”Britney glanced at Karsyn, who responded with a look of complete ignorance.Karsyn couldn't believe she would actually run into someone like Michael Lindsey in a place like this. He was a wealthy playboy, average-looking, and usually thought with his lower body. Of course, he used to be her suitor."Didn't you say you went abroad for development?" Karsyn scrutinized the man in front of her."The plane just landed in the afternoon!" Michael flirtatiously winked at Karsyn. "Karsyn, do you have any free time to come and sit in my private room?""No time!" Karsyn dodged his grope."Don't worry, they are all our former high school classmates," Michael reassured, leaning
Britney retorted. Karsyn and Britney found a spot a bit away from the others."However, how could the former playboy Darius, be willing to settle for just one girl?" Karsyn felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction as she saw Claire's increasingly darkened face. "You must have some hidden ailment that forces you to settle, right?"Darius smiled back at Karsyn with a mischievous grin, not taking Karsyn's joke to heart. "Karsyn is still so good at making jokes!"But originally holding Claire's hand, he withdrew it."Karsyn, you're not any better! All these years, you still couldn't get Franklin!" Claire was infuriated."What's the matter? It's better than some women resorting to surgery just to keep a man! Is that chin fake? And that chest! I remember your chest wasn't this big before!" Karsyn couldn't help but feel the urge to pinch Claire's almost bursting, fair skin, just to verify if it really was as described, fearing it might burst if he applied too much force."You!" C
After hanging up the phone, Britney went to the restroom and came out after changing her necessities.The scene in front of her made Britney pause in her actions of tidying her light hair, and something heavy blocked her heart, causing her breath to slow down for a second.In the dim light, not far away, a man and a woman leaned against the wall, appearing ambiguous.From Britney's perspective, it seemed like they were kissing.Her luck was so good that she could go buy the lottery!Should she go forward? Or should she run away?"Manuel..." Nylah Jefferson slurred, attempting to kiss his lips."Don't be like this!" Manuel pushed her away, keeping a safe distance, his thin red lips pursed into a straight line. He knew Nylah had an excellent tolerance for alcohol and it was impossible for her to get drunk.“After all these years, can’t you feel anything for me? Even just a little bit?" Nylah looked at the cold and resolute handsome face with anticipation, hoping to find even a trace of
In the dim night, the most luxurious Seventh Club at Goldmoor was bustling. Karsyn, with a flushed face from drinking, was half asleep and half awake, feeling as if his whole body was like a sponge, floating...In a daze, she had no idea where Britney had gone!Of course, others would prefer Britney never to come back! After all, Britney was not that easy to deal with.Claire gave Halle a look, and Halle understood. Blushing, she leaned towards Michael and said, "Michael, how about I give you a big gift?"Michael raised an eyebrow, his gaze following Halle's towards Karsyn's blushing face. Then, he threw a wicked look at Darius.Good things are meant to be shared! This has always been the hobby of the wealthy.Halle picked up a bottle of tequila here and walked towards Karsyn, twisting her waist, but her eyes were full of malice. Sometimes, making a man bow down and submit is not only about knowing how to please him, but also about knowing his preferences! Instead of letting him beg a
Looking into the mirror, Sierra touched the necklace around her neck.The more people praised her, the more her heart floated with beauty...Regardless of whether the other person was flattery or adulation, the more she looked at herself in the mirror, the more beautiful she felt. Especially with the expensive necklace around her neck, it further accentuated her beauty.Unfortunately, as soon as she thought about it, she realized that the necklace did not belong to her. She was only helping someone else choose it to give to someone else. She felt extremely frustrated.In fact, beautiful jewelry did enhance people's facial features.But in Raiden's eyes, they were all the same, just a few diamonds, like glass beads, then added to various parts of a little cat or put on wings or something, just changing the design...He generally wouldn't choose these seemingly complicated things, just paying the money is fine.He just wanted to make th
Actually, she had always had a dream in her heart, which was that the prince would drive a luxury car and stand in front of her with a bouquet of flowers...This scene appeared many times in her dreams, but she never expected that someone would actually do it."Um. I had time."Sierra nodded shyly.I thought to myself that I hadn't been able to contact my aunt and uncle, and I didn't know if they were at the villa or not. I decided to go out with this man first and check on them later when I could get in touch with them.Now, she completely forgot that Stephanie had warned her before that Raiden was a playboy.Raiden smirked and gentlemanly opened the door of the passenger seat for Sierra. After she sat inside, he walked around the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat.Sierra sat in the car, lowered her gaze, and looked at the large bouquet of roses, immersing herself in the fragrance of the flowers. It was her first time rec
On the balcony outside the second floor of the villa, a slender figure was wrapped in a dark robe, standing there. The faint sunlight shone on the tall male body, creating a golden halo around the figure. The sharp short hair was topped with water droplets, giving it a cool and sexy look.Manuel had just finished taking a shower when he received a call from Cortez, reporting on the situation of the Maxwell family at the hospital. The cigarette butt flickered at his fingertips, and his sexy Adam's apple rolled up and down with each exhale of smoke rings.His cold narrowed black eyes deepened in color when he heard Cortez say that Maxwell had been arrested and the conflict between Jamiya and Stephanie had escalated. However, there was no extra expression on his face, as if everything had been expected long ago."Um." There was only a faint response before hanging up the phone.After finishing the cigarette in his hand, Manuel entered the bedroom. He pulled
"Stephanie, how could you..." Jamiya scolded.With an incredulous expression on her face, she couldn't believe that her daughter had easily pointed out her son.But compared to Jamiya's strong protectiveness towards her calf, Stephanie appeared much more rational."You should go and ask the doctors and nurses here first, to see if you can take him away," Stephanie said calmly, but beneath her calm exterior, there was a storm brewing.The remaining two police officers heard Stephanie's words and did not give them a hard time. They approached the glass and took a look at the person in the intensive care unit she had just pointed out. One of them went to find the doctor, and after a few minutes, Geovanni's attending physician, Dr. Cortez, rushed over. The three of them were communicating.At this moment, Jamiya finally realized that her daughter's actions were entirely because of Geovanni's current state, which the police officer couldn't take away.
The entire Goldmoor was cleansed by the night rain, seemingly washing away the sins of the night. The sun slowly emerged on the horizon, heralding the start of a new day.Karsyn held her phone nervously."How are you? Where is Britney now?" Andreas sat on the edge of the bed, shaking his silly sister.When he was heading home from the Seventh Club, he overheard people talking about something. Curiously, he approached and listened. To his surprise, it was actually about his friend Britney...What happened to them in the end?They all didn't know. According to Mr. Castro, they sent the person who was rear-ended to the hospital and then came back, but with Mr. Castro taking care of the rest, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.He didn't want to hear that there was no major issue. All he wanted was one hundred percent certainty.He made several phone calls, Britney's phone was turned off, Bryant's phone couldn't be reached, and Raid
People over here haven't even recovered from their sadness to make a decision, but these two individuals have already started discussing calmly about which arm or organ the person is missing.Everyone wanted Bryant to stay in the hospital for a few days, worried that he had hit his head and might have some aftereffects. However, he couldn't hold on and insisted on going back...So Manuel instructed Raiden to take Bryant home and have him rest for a few days.Manuel and Britney returned to the villa, and it was already dawn."I'll go take a shower first." Exhausted after a night of tossing and turning, Britney, who was already extremely tired, looked at her muddy body and didn't want to just lie down and go to sleep like that. She decided that even a quick shower would be more comfortable than sleeping in her current state."I helped you!" Manuel took a step forward and opened the bathroom door for Britney."No need! You were injured too, but
The doctor in his fifties walked out first, while the other unrelated medical staff left from the other side.Jamiya immediately got up from the chair and ran over, with Stephanie following behind. The two of them hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is my son (brother)?"Maxwell walked with heavy steps and followed along.The attending doctor was surrounded by three people, took off his mask, and said, "The person has been saved, but once his condition improves a little, we will proceed with the next surgery.""Being alive is enough, being alive is enough... Doctor, don't worry, we will definitely cooperate well and let him recover quickly and undergo the surgery." Jamiya's suspended heart finally settled.No matter what, as long as you are still alive, it's good.Before, they said her son had only one breath left, and she knew it couldn't be true when she saw him for the last time.How could her son have had any trouble?Maxwell and
That night, there was a close encounter with life and death.The lights in the hospital poured down, Manuel's cold and rigid facial features were too terrifying, and his aura was too powerful, leaving the nearby doctors standing there at a loss, not daring to say a word."If your hand were disabled, I would have to find someone with all four limbs," Britney threatened, seeing that Manuel was still unmoved.This man really didn't take care of himself at all. Although he knew he wanted to protect himself, his hands were definitely injured badly.The man, who had been staring at Britney's wound, barely reacted when he heard her words. "Let's go!""Mr. Castro, come with me over here," the doctor said in a pleasing manner.At that moment, Raiden walked up to Manuel from a different direction."You go first, I'll follow," Manuel glanced at the older doctor.The doctor quickly said, "Okay!"After the doctor left, Raiden whisper
Raiden bumped Bryant's arm, indicating him to look at the affectionate couple after the robbery.Raiden has always been puzzled as to why there are so many flowers and plants outside, yet they insist on hanging themselves on a tree.However, seeing Manuel cherish someone so much, Britney wondered if she had saved the Milky Way in her past life.Britney let Manuel carry her onto the car.Now she is covered in mud everywhere, originally wearing a white evening gown, but now she looks like a beggar who has just come out of a garbage dump.There was not a single clean spot, whether on the body or on the face.Just as she was putting her down, Britney caught sight of the large patch of crimson on Manuel's arm, illuminated by the dim light inside the car."Manuel, what happened to your hand?" Britney pulled his hand over, blood had already soaked through his white shirt, flowing down his arm onto the back of his hand.It was as if at
