Jessamine smiled and said, "Yes, that's right. The gentleman beside me is indeed Mr. James. He will take on the role of CEO of Quilton Corporation in the future and lead us to greater success. I hope everyone can cooperate with him."Some of the more experienced shareholders immediately grinned."I must have been blind just now not to recognize Mr. James. It's an honor to work alongside Mr. James. I could brag about it for a lifetime!""Mr. James, please guide us more in the future!""Mr. James, I'm the head of the finance department. I'll send you the quarterly reports to your email tonight."With everyone exchanging words, they finally regained their motivation. With Oscar leading them, they believed the company could definitely achieve greater heights.Oscar was originally sent by Xander to support her, but it seemed unnecessary now. Jessamine, who appeared frail, had already taken control of the situation in front of these people."Everyone, that's too much. We're colleagues
Samson's expression stiffened for a moment, then he quickly resumed his fake smile. He realized that Oscar was somewhat cunning, but he didn't expect him to be so rude as to directly suggest selling defective parts to him!Although Samson had boasted earlier, who buys defective things? This behavior was simply like taking money directly from his pocket.He suppressed his annoyance and said, "Sure, sure. We'll sign the contract after the annual meeting."The manager of the marketing department was dumbfounded. Last month, he waited outside the Bejeweled Group's gate for a whole day, but Samson didn't see him. Even the reasons he gave were very perfunctory.When he finally managed to catch him in the evening, Samson said he had a severe stomachache from drinking and couldn't conduct business, not even giving him a chance to speak.Now, facing Oscar and Jessamine, he was nodding and bowing like mad. He even took the initiative to do business and was willing to accept defective parts.
Jessamine thought highly of herself and dared to bully her friend. Sasha walked over angrily, followed by a few of her friends."Jessamine, how much money did you take from my brother? Spit it out now!" Sasha demanded.Jessamine gently swirled the wine glass in her hand, thinking that this idiot must not have had enough last time and came back for more trouble."Sasha, are you out of your mind? Regardless of whether I took your brother's money or not, what does it have to do with you?"Sasha's expression stiffened."What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? The money my brother earns is my mom's money, and my mom's money is my money. So, technically, the money you spend is mine. "You used to enjoy a high standard of living at our place. Now that you've left my brother, you can't even afford some fried chicken anymore, huh? Are you living in rural areas now? How pitiful!"Shane couldn't stand it anymore after hearing this, and his annoyance reached its peak. He detested thi
Sasha raised her chin arrogantly. If Jessamine had been a bit nicer to her earlier, she might not have actually texted her brother to come.When he would arrive and see Amy's current state, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken. If his mood soured, he wouldn't give her any pocket money.Sasha checked her account's balance on her phone. Last month, she had spent all the money she borrowed from her brother. Only a little was left that was subsidized by Heather. Her good friend's birthday was approaching, and with her status, it wouldn't be acceptable not to present a decent gift.Forget it. She would butter up her brother later and get some money from him.…Thaddeus smoked a cigarette downstairs. Messages from Benji kept coming in like haunting reminders."Come and support your wife. There are a few whiners here.""Darn it, why haven't you come yet? Your wife is being bullied. Do you still want to win her back?""Quickly take away your brainless sister. Does she have brain damag
How pitiful. How could a woman bear to watch her ex-husband dote on another woman so openly? Especially with so many people around. How would she face anyone in the future?All eyes converged on Thaddeus as he walked in that direction. But to everyone's disappointment, Thaddeus didn't even pause when he reached Amy's side. More precisely, he didn't even spare her a glance, walking past her toward this side.After a few seconds of surprise, everyone realized that Thaddeus was probably eager to deal with the person who bullied his girlfriend, so he walked straight over there. They felt even more sorry for Jessamine after thinking about this. They couldn't imagine how dreadful that must feel for a woman being publicly dealt with by a man.Thaddeus was completely unaware that he had become the focus of everyone's attention. As he approached, he stood directly beside Jessamine, wearing a warm smile on his face."Jessie, is everything going smoothly?"Jessamine lightly bit her lip and
Sasha was so angry that she didn't want to speak, but a few girlfriends began whispering among themselves."Why do I feel that Mr. Holt's gaze toward Ms. Patton is a bit different? It seems like he doesn't like Amy as Sasha said. Instead, I think it seems like he likes that Ms. Patton.""It's not a 'seems like.' His gaze can't deceive people. Didn't you hear how accommodating Mr. Holt was toward that woman just now?""But that woman has a child. Which man would accept a woman with a child? It's like raising someone else's son. He's become a father all of a sudden!""You shouldn't doubt it. Didn't you see how willing Mr. Holt was? He even bought clothes for Ms. Patton's son and had someone personally pick them out. Honestly, my dad has never bought me a piece of clothing.""Alas!"One of them sighed and said to Sasha again, "Sasha, I think your brother seems to want to be someone else's stepfather. Don't you think your brother is acting a bit like…"She wanted to say "like a desp
Parents from other families were always afraid that their own children wouldn't be happy. After all, who doesn't wish for harmony in their children's families? Now, when he recalled the past, it seemed like his own mother never did anything to support his family. Instead, she often caused trouble for him.Perhaps Jessamine didn't mind it much previously. If it were someone else, there would have been countless fights between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law by now.Sasha's eyes welled up with tears. "Ted, do you really want to stick with this woman? She's already had a child with another man. Why should we Holts raise someone else's child? Are you really that desperate for a woman? "If you're really desperate, Mom has introduced so many to you, so why don't you pick one? Grandpa may want great-grandchildren, but he doesn't want someone else's illegitimate child!"As soon as she finished speaking, Jessamine splashed a glass of wine at her. Just because she looked down on Sasha's b
Jessamine's palms were sweaty as she pushed through the crowd of people, quickly making her way to the center.When she saw the person lying on the ground, her whole body went numb.Amy lay on the ground, her face deathly pale, while someone performed CPR on her.Jessamine's earlier anxiety turned into a mix of complex emotions. She couldn't help but suspect that Amy was faking it. She closed her eyes and her eyelashes trembled.Playing dead or feigning illness was Amy's specialty. Her greatest skill was playing the role of a weak victim to garner sympathy and manipulate others.Jessamine couldn't help but turn around, and her gaze met with Thaddeus. She instinctively thought Thaddeus would be worried and rush forward first. However, there was no expression on Thaddeus' face, only a hint of amusement.After the friend who knew first aid had performed CPR on Amy for a while, he squatted on the ground, panting. He opened Amy's eyelids and checked her pulse. He didn't find any major
