"You've gone too far this time, Hector!"Danny was so infuriated that he rushed up to Hector, ready to throw a punch.Fortunately, there were other people present to hold him back. They were already so old, but they almost started a brawl."You're not afraid of doing it, but you're afraid of being called out?" Hector sneered.Ever since Lana's research was stolen by Emilia, she was forced to face scrutinizing criticisms. Hector was deeply troubled by it. Since then, he had been hoping for a chance to settle the score with the Watsons.Now that they had unexpectedly delivered themselves to him on a silver platter, he wasn't going to let them off the hook."You're lucky enough to secure the bid by piecing together other people's hard work. I wonder, were all your previous successes also obtained through such dishonest means? Profiting through such unethical means, doesn't it weigh on your conscience?""Enough of your blathering!" Danny, who was being held back, couldn't help but r
"Mr. Miller, have you got wind of something?" one of the staff asked. Matthew smiled. "There are no secrets in this world, and some things aren't as straightforward as they seem. Trust me. Focus on your work, and time will bring us a satisfying outcome."Matthew's words were like a guiding light. Not only did they calm the employees' emotions, but they also piqued Lana's curiosity. After the meeting, Lana followed Matthew to his office. She asked curiously, "Mr. Miller, was what you just said true?" Matthew calmly responded, "Lana, when have I ever lied to you? Just wait and see." Since it was Matthew who said it, Lana believed him! She believed that complete trust was the only way to receive sincere treatment from the other person. Having dealt with the employees, Lana remembered she had something important to do.An elderly man recently moved into her home, and he was dissatisfied with yesterday's meals. He threatened to burn Lana's apartment down if he didn't get a prope
"Don't you think you're being overly nosy?" Marcel's presence was overpowering, causing the atmosphere in the room to become tense. "Who gives you the right to arrange matters for me?" Terrified, Nicholas's legs gave way, and he knelt directly. "Marcel, I apologize. I shouldn't have interfered in your life." As soon as Nicholas finished speaking, Marcel made a slight movement with his finger. The next second, Nicholas let out a cry of distress. Lana and Jennifer watched in astonishment as an unexplainable rash appeared on Nicholas's handsome face. It was painful and itchy, but he dared not make a move in front of Marcel. They couldn't fathom why Marcel was behaving this way again. In the past, whenever they upset Marcel, he would always use various strange methods to torment them.Although the methods seemed cruel, they never caused substantial harm, which was why they managed to survive until now. They were well aware of Marcel's abilities and knew that he hadn't been rut
After a pause, Emilia explained, "Grandpa, don't listen to those people. If there were truly issues with my product, would the National Aerospace Corporation still choose to collaborate with me?" Danny thought there was some logic in what she said. However, he still spoke cautiously. "There are certain matters you must manage well. The position our family holds today is all because of the efforts of our ancestors. We should be dignified individuals, not crafty opportunists."Emilia smiled in acknowledgment. Just as she was about to say something to Danny, her assistant found her in a nervous state. "Ms. Watson, there's trouble at the company. The four major—" Emilia didn't give her assistant a chance to finish the sentence. She grabbed her and left Watson Residence, heading toward the company. "Alright, let's talk as we walk." Seeing her professional and cautious attitude, Danny felt the rumors outside were baseless. Emilia, being so outstanding, couldn't possibly steal other
Lana brought Marcel to the small château where Mandy and Romelius currently reside to diagnose Mandy's condition. Before setting off, Lana had already informed Mandy and Romelius about the visitor's identity, a mentor who had raised her and taught her many things. In light of this, both of them were extremely anxious. They felt the need to warmly welcome Lana's mentor and repay the favor of nurturing their daughter. Mandy quickly arranged for the delivery of many soft pastries that elderly people enjoy. Romelius even took the initiative to inquire about Marcel's preferences. Upon hearing Lana mention his liking for suits and vests, Romelius promptly had several sets of elegant vests. They were all tailor-made, and he planned to personally give them to Marcel later. The couple waited anxiously, hoping for the arrival of their beloved daughter. After all, with the recent significant events in Lana's company and her already hectic schedule, it had been nearly two weeks since
True to his word, Marcel started examining Mandy's pulse as Lana requested. After a while, he finally put down Mandy's hand. "You've recovered almost completely. The only thing left is to maintain and nurture your body. If you ensure ample rest and stick to a light diet, you'll be back to normal in less than two years." Marcel's diagnosis was, in fact, quite similar to Lana's assessment. Her skills were learned from Marcel, after all. Now that she heard him say it himself, Lana felt more reassured. 'I'll give you a prescription. Just follow the instructions I give you, and your body will recover even faster," Marcel said. Lana then magically took out a pen and paper from her bag for Marcel to write a prescription for Mandy. Holding the prescription, Romelius was excited. He exclaimed, "Mr. Stetson, thank you so much. I'll definitely take care of her following your instructions." Hearing that, Marcel glanced at him casually. "You should be the one being taken care of, and
Emilia fell seriously ill and was currently hospitalized. She immediately stopped working and delegated all her work to Danny. Danny had lived free of responsibilities for many years, so he immediately expressed displeasure with the sudden workload. However, he still felt sorry for Emilia.After experiencing the workload firsthand, he realized that Emilia's daily tasks were overwhelming. If someone accustomed to high-intensity work like him couldn't handle it, how could a young woman like Emilia endure it?So Danny directed all the pent-up frustration towards the Garrisons, declaring that they were to blame for Emilia's condition. He insisted that the Garrisons owed the Watsons an explanation. "That Garrison kid made the Watson girl sick. It was truly despicable. What grudge could there be?""Didn't you hear? In less than a month, the Garrisons took over two of the Watsons' most profitable subsidiaries. It was like they were trying to annihilate them!""The relationship betwe
After deciding to go, Emilia arrived at the Garrison Villa at 11:00 pm. Hector told Liam that he shouldn't have opened the door for her. However, since Liam let Emilia in, Hector also had to be present. Otherwise, he would worry about Emilia having ill intentions toward Liam.Even Freya's newborn son, who had just turned a month old, was in the living room glaring at Emilia.He was dressed in a ninja cosplay outfit while carrying a milk bottle.With this setup, Emilia immediately realized she was not welcome."Grandpa Hector, Liam, Ms. Garrison, I'm really sorry to disturb you so late."Hector snorted coldly. "So, now you know it's inconvenient? Then why did you come?"Emilia fell silent.Could this person speak without being so harsh? But she never expected that even more unpleasant words were yet to come.Freya also stood in front of her intimidatingly, even though she was a year younger than Emilia. "Emilia, you shouldn't force your way into getting what you want. Can't y
