Jon was deeply confused when he ended the call.He had no idea what the Chasezes were planning to do.He was still confused up to this point, but according to his previous and current senior officer, they were most likely screwed.In the face of a first-rated aristocratic family like the Chasezes, they had no chance to fight back at all. In fact, the Chasezes did not even tell them the reason why they were doing this.Hank?That was Joseph’s oldest grandson.He should still be rather young.Jon wondered if this was because his daughter Celia had offended the other.Thus, He decided to go home and ask her about this.Jon immediately took a train home.When he reached home, he saw his wife Mindy sitting on the sofa with a dark expression on her face.“What’s wrong?” Jon asked as he sat beside Mindy.“They took the products off the shelf and claimed that it was because they failed the tests. They said we have to destroy them immediately and aren’t even willing to let me run te
The next day was the weekend.Celia had originally planned to sleep in, but she was woken up by Mindy early in the morning.“Mom! What’s wrong? Can’t you let me sleep in a little more on the weekends?” Celia asked blearily.“Get up, Celia! There’s something I need to ask you!” Mindy said urgently.“What is it, mom? Can’t it wait until I wake up again later?” “No! Get up right now!”A moment later, Mindy pulled off Celia’s blanket.She had waited the entire night to interrogate Celia. If not for Jon, she would have come and asked her questions the previous night itself.“Get down there! Your dad and I are waiting for you downstairs!” Mindy said before she left.With her blanket uncovered, Celia had no other choice but to crawl up from bed sleepily. After slowly washing up, she went downstairs and saw her parents sitting on the sofa.Neither of them had slept last night, only taking a small nap when it was almost dawn. Both of them looked far from well-rested, as if something
Only to see a conflicted expression on her face.Evidently, Mindy had found the key to the problem.It was a choice to sacrifice one of the two, their daughter’s happiness or the luxury they currently enjoyed.There was no third option.“What do we do now, Jon?” Mindy asked.“What else can we do? We have two options, either we sacrifice our daughter’s happiness for everything we have now, or we give everything up and leave Capital City for Shu City in South River Province with our daughter and David. It’s a choice between the potential of reaping profits as the Chasez family’s in-laws, which means better business for you and more promotions for me, or an ordinary life in the county.”“I…” Mindy did not know how to reply for a moment.If she told her daughter to leave David and be with that Hanley person, she knew there was a chance her daughter would comply but also never forgive Mindy for suggesting such a thing. Mindy only had one daughter and she was reluctant to do this to h
On Saturday, David finally saw the message Celia had sent him the previous night.After some consideration, David sent Celia a reply to go on a date since he was rather free these days.Naturally, Celia was elated when she saw the message and almost jumped up in happiness.After asking Celia those questions that morning, Jon and Mindy had both quickly left the house.With that, the younger couple agreed to meet in the largest forest park in Capital City.Then, Celia brought David around to play.The sun was scorching but it did not hinder Celia’s steadfast pace at all as she walked around the park over and over again with David.She made sure to pick spots that did not have many other people as well since she liked the feeling of spending time with David alone.While it might seem like Celia was bringing David around, the truth was that David was spending time with Celia as the latter did the things that she liked.Just like that, the two of them spent the whole day at the par
The employees were asking for their pay and the product users were suing and seeking compensation.This was the terrifying power of a first-rate family in Capital City.The chairman’s office, Beautylish Group headquarters.Despite it being the evening, Mindy and her husband had yet to leave.After a whole day of hard work, not only had they not managed to make a single dollar from selling their shares, but they were now in a huge amount of debt as well.Both of them felt despondent about the future.Their initial desire to lighten Celia’s future financial burden was no longer possible.Not only that, but they were under more financial pressure now.The damages owed to the various clients, compensation for product users, and wages due to the employees all far exceeded Beautylish Group’s existing funds.Not even by filing for bankruptcy or selling the office building could they repay everyone.By the end of this all, the 46% of shares in Mindy’s hands would become a huge financ
Hanley looked at and waited for the two of them to make their decision.As long as both of them agreed, he knew that Celia was too weak-willed to ignore her parents’ sufferings and insist on being with David.Jon and Mindy shared a look. It was just as they had deduced that morning.This heir of the Chasez family was angry and jealous tjat Celia was with David instead of him, and that was why he had targeted them.Mindy was about to ask Hanley to give them some time to consider their options.Only for Jon to interrupt, “My apologies, Mr. Chasez, but Celia has the right to make her own decisions. We may be her parents, but that does not give us the right to make such decisions for her. If she likes you and chooses to be with you, we will not object. If she likes someone else and chooses to be with them instead, we will not object either.”Mindy flushed. She did not expect her husband to decline Hanley so directly. She had already planned to persuade Celia.“Oh? So you’re choosi
Jon and Mindy decided to go home after releasing news that they were selling their shares. They did not hold too much hope, but Mindy received a call from an unknown number not too long after they arrived homeThe other party actually wanted to buy the shares of Beuatylish Group.They were elated by the news.As long as the other party was willing to buy, the Young family would be willing to sell their shares at any price. They were even willing to give the shares away for free.Then, Hugo asked Mindy a question.He wanted to know why the 46% of shares that was worth more than three billion were sold at just five hundred million.Mindy then told him that it was because she accidentally made an enemy of someone she could not afford to, thus she wanted to sell the shares cheaply and leave Capital City. Hugo could feel that there was more to the story, but he still decided to buy the shares. This five hundred million was a small amount to him compared to the tens of billions he
Hanley’s car was a short distance away and he practically dragged Celia over to it.No matter how Celia struggled and shouted, it seemed hopeless. Just as Hanley was about to open the car door and shove Celia inside, someone finally stopped him.Luna had also come out this weekend to buy some things and kill boredom.Women, in general, had an innate enjoyment when shopping, be it fragile girls like Celia or aloof goddesses like Luna.The last thing Luna expected was to see David’s rumored girlfriend Celia holding hands with another man at the entrance of the shopping mall.She originally thought that Celia was two-timing David and decided not to poke her nose into someone else’s problems, but she slowly realized that something was wrong.It was evident that Celia did not want to follow the man who was being dragged away.Something was surely going to happen if the man managed to drag her into the car.Since she was also a woman, Luna found it impossible to leave this matter to
