After the birthday party, Hugh and his family went to the Shengville Hotel.Daniel’s secretary, Harry, had been waiting for them downstairs and quickly approached them when he saw them entering the lobby.“Mr. Wolfenden Sr.!” Harry smiled warmly.“Harry!” Hugh extended a hand.Harry shook it briefly and told him with a smile, “Mr. Chappell is already waiting upstairs. I’ll take you to him.”“Sure, thank you!”Hugh was a little anxious and excited.In the presidential suite, Room 2002…As Harry led them in, they saw a poised middle-aged man with graying sideburns. He was Daniel Chappell, the man who could decide who would receive the Dickinson International project!“Mr. Wolfenden Sr., I’ve long heard of you!”Hugh went up to him promptly. “Mr. Chappell, sorry to keep you waiting!”“No worries. Come, have a seat.”Hugh and his family were reserved. Daniel was a notable man in Springside, and there was no way they could meet him without connections.“It’s getting late, so I’
Hugh and his family left the hotel and went home with questions in their heads.Sadie was curious. “Grandpa, should we ask Mr. Tinsley about it?”Hugh shook his head. “It wouldn’t be appropriate. Johnson Zigler, though. Hmph! I thought he had helped us and was so thankful and polite to him at the birthday party.“But it’s got nothing to do with him at all! That old man is shameless!”Hugh was furious when he thought about how Johnson had just taken the credit for nothing.What a shameless old man! Despite that, he was still curious about who had helped them. Could it be Kayson?When they returned, Hugh saw that the mansion was lit up and muttered, “Kayson’s probably home.”Sadie looked horrified when she entered and did not see Kayson downstairs. After going upstairs frantically and pushing the door to her room open, she saw Kayson sleeping on the floor as expected.Sadie was flushed and slammed the door as she looked at her underwear on the bed. She glared at Kayson while she
Before Easton finished his sentence, a loud noise came from his end, and the call was cut.Kayson looked a little grim as he searched for the location and rushed to the bar that Easton had mentioned.At The Walnut, Crimsun Street…Kayson pushed the door open and entered upon arrival. It was dim inside the bar, stinking with various odors.The light was turned on all of a sudden and flooded the bar with brightness.“Oh, came here to die alone?” said a mocking voice, prompting Kayson to look at one of the couches.The man who had talked was sitting on the couch. There were also Easton, Reva, Natalie, and others. Easton had a fresh bleeding wound while the person who spoke had his foot on top of Easton’s head.The man was scanning Kayson with a sneer. Several muscular men stood on his left and right. There were also a few others who looked slightly less intimidating.Mason Gillete scoffed. “What a scare. I f*cking thought that the kid was calling for some help, but this is it? One
Kayson paused as an icy glint flashed across his eyes.Like an arrow released from the bow, he sprang forward and kicked Mason. The latter fell to the couch with a heavy thud before the couch collapsed under the weight and force.“Argh!” Mason let out a pained cry before he coughed up blood.“Goodness!” Admiration glittered in Reva’s eyes. She was dumbstruck. She did not know that Kayson was actually this awesome!The whole bar was left with pained groans and a few underlings who dared not make a move.Kayson checked Easton and realized that the latter had suffered serious internal injuries. Apparently, he must have been beaten up brutally, but his life was not at risk.“Send Easton and the others to the hospital.”Reva snapped out of her trance and replied timidly, “Can we not go to the hospital? We dare not let our families know…”Kayson frowned, helpless against Reva’s pitiful expression.“Send them to Bwell Therapeutics then.”“Okay!”Reva quickly went to help prop Easto
Kayson chuckled. “Sure, even though you’ve been badly beaten up, I find that you did nothing wrong.”“I shall return to the company and apply for a leave of absence on behalf of all of you then.”Reva repeatedly nodded in appreciation.Kayson returned to the company after instructing Lindsy and her grandfather to take care of Easton and the others. Kayson applied for a leave of absence on their behalf upon his return to the company.When he got off work, he headed to Bwell Therapeutics to provide treatment to them. Easton and the others recovered quickly with his treatment.At the very least, the injuries on their faces were no longer visible, so their families would not notice that they were injured if they were to go home.Easton’s injuries were relatively serious as compared to the others, so he would need to recuperate for one to two days.The next day, Kayson paid a visit to The Tetrad.Reva and the others were exhilarated at the sight of Kayson, and their eyes lit up wi
Quite a lot of eyes focused on Kayson as soon as he walked into Boardroom 3.However, most people were looking at him in astonishment.A man sized up Kayson with an arrogant gaze. “Who are you?”“I’m the deputy chief of The Tetrad from the project department, Kayson Yarde. Mr. Oxley is away from work today, so I’m attending the meeting on his behalf,” replied Kayson. “The Tetrad?” The man sniggered in contempt. “Mr. Batley, don’t you think saving a spot for The Tetrad is a waste? The bottled water of our company costs money too.”The rest of the people lowered their heads and sneered without bothering to hide their laughter upon hearing that.Sean furrowed his eyebrows ever so slightly but relaxed his eyebrows soon afterward. “Mr. Lawson, you do care about cost-saving for the company at all times as the person in charge of the company’s finances.“However, you’re fussing so much for just bottled water. Could it be that the company’s financial status is already so dire?”The CF
Sadie spoke coldly in a stern tone. “You don’t get to talk here, Yarde!”Miles smiled widely and behaved as if he was standing up for Kayson. “That’s not right, Ms. Wolfenden. Since Mr. Yarde is attending the boardroom meeting, he also has a right to speak.“Ms. Wolfenden’s remark is quite hurtful, isn’t it?”Sadie clenched her fists tightly in a fury!Who would want to sign a project with The Tetrad in view of their impressive reputation?Kayson was clueless!“Ms. Wolfenden, I think Mr. Lawson makes a good point. The Tetrad must produce results in order to convince the crowd.”Kayson spoke extremely seriously as if he could not understand Sadie’s intention.Miles smiled widely. “I admire an ambitious person like you. If The Tetrad can sign a project worth more than $3,000,000 within a month…“I shall acknowledge The Tetrad’s value and promise that I won’t ever mention abolishing The Tetrad anymore from then on.“However, I want The Tetrad to achieve it through their hard wor
Natalie and the others were not sad anymore with Kayson’s convincing assurance.Reva, on the other hand, was distraught.Kayson began flipping through The Tetrad’s work log casually.‘Hmm. It’s just like how Easton describes it. The Tetrad does mostly legwork, document deliveries, and project signings that are already settled.’“Mr. Kace… Why don’t you meet up with Mr. Lawson and throw in the towel? I think Mr. Lawson won’t make a fuss with us in view of his magnanimousness.”Kayson chuckled as he flipped through the file in his hand and said, “Your father is on the board of directors, yet you’re still afraid of Lawson?”Reva’s expression was gloomy. “I hold an inferior position in the company, and my words have little effect over others. My father has never paid any attention to me, and one’s capability is crucial in a place like this. What do we have to compare to Mr. Lawson, huh?“In addition, Mr. Lawson’s father is the company's second-biggest shareholder, which makes him mo
