Madison took a deep breath to keep her cool while she looked at the face-reddened Rainey. “Is that what you think of this?” She asked calmly.Tears start to grow in her eyes. She had always worked hard to maintain the relationship between Jason and her family members. She was the one who begged Jason when Clark was in trouble. No matter what, she wishes to preserve this relationship; for them to use excuses like that only seems hypocritical. If they really wished for her best, they would treat Jason better. It’s hard for them to imagine how Madison felt, being caught between a rock and a hard place.Thinking of Jason’s hardships for the past three years and that she tried her best to mediate on both sides, she felt that her efforts were not worth it.“Did I say anything wrong? Didn’t you elevate your position?” Remy gritted her teeth stubbornly as she looked at the sobbing Madison.She would not dare to do this to Jason, yet she could not stand seeing Madison’s prideful expression.
“Is someone causing trouble? Do they not know whose event this is?” Elder Frost chuckled coldly as he had personally felt Jason’s terrifying strength.Moreover, despite being a large city, the social circle for upper-class people is tiny. Everyone knows everyone. He could never imagine someone would dare to cause trouble since nobody would have the qualifications to do that.“Ah, we have a pretty boy.” The man grinned as he looked at Jason.Jane slapped the man in annoyance and spoke exasperatedly, “You better take a good look at where you are at before saying another word.”‘Can he really not read the room?’The man was stunned after being slapped. Then, he was enraged. ‘This woman dares to hit me?’At this moment, he saw someone in the corner of his eye. “Eh, isn’t that Jordan Grand?”“Arden Springs, Abe Newerth, and… Silas Johnson.” He was stunned with disbelief, realizing all of them had made many television appearances.“What?” He muttered as he looked around. He wanted to
“That was what I heard him say!” Jason blinked.“They were lies.” Madison rolled her eyes at Jason in exasperation.“Everyone is different. You shouldn’t judge others by your standards. There are always people who have fewer principles in this world.” Jason spoke calmly.“I’m not bothered by it.” Madison laughed.As Jason and Madison spoke quietly, Jane and Zack also chatted.“Was I acting embarrassing just now?” Zach asked Jane.“What do you think?” Jane was exasperated.She felt that Zach was as dull as a rock who had never thought things through before acting. If she had not truly loved him, she would stomp on this man.“Were you busy working for this company for the past few days?” Zack asked.“Of course!” Jane was exasperated.“Then why didn’t you tell me earlier.” Zack rolled his eyes.“I already told you!” Jane yelled helplessly.“But you didn’t tell me about this?” Zack gestured to the surroundings. “I thought you simply did it out of impulse. My dear, how would I k
As Zack hurried back, Jane approached Jason. “This is a token of appreciation from my husband.” Jane smiled as she handed the envelope to Jason.Looking at Jason’s pleased expression, Jane was slightly embarrassed. “That guy might be as stubborn as a rock, but he treats me well.”“Alright, thank you.” Jason smiled as he took it.Then, Jane’s expression turned joyful. She knew that Jason had not taken the cash packet out of greed but to signify that Zack was considered a part of Jason’s social circle.It was by the mere thought of that possibility since everyone who belonged in Jason’s circle was influential.After Jason left, Jane lightly winked at Zack.Jason obviously knew what Jane had plotted. However, he did not mind helping them with the consideration of his wife. If Jane were helpful to Madison, he would naturally be kind to Jane as well.After the minor ordeal, the ceremony finally began.Madison went on the stage since the company belonged to her. As for Jason, he was
Madison responded perfectly to their insults which made them unable to use the arguments that they had painstakingly prepared. Hence, they were silent.“It was Hank Akers who came out with the idea.” Clark gritted his teeth.“He wanted to force Madison to give them money which they would split among themselves. They thought that since we were relatives, at most, we wouldn’t talk to her ever again at most. No matter what, you people can’t do much to us.” Clark had no desire to hide anything. Hence, he explained everything.Hearing Hank’s words, Jason’s expression froze. He then realized that was true since nobody else but Hank could come up with such an idea.He thought it was a perfect plan to abuse Madison’s kindness. They would even brazenly assume that he would not do anything to them since Madison mattered greatly to him.“Wow! Excellent.” Jason nodded lightly.“Did you know, whatever you do to me or plot against me, I wouldn’t mind out of consideration for Madison. However,
After the guests had dispersed, they returned to Madison’s company. Jane and Zack had also followed along, leaving the temporarily hired staff to clean the area.Zack’s face blushed as he drank quite a lot of wine. He lecherously called out to Jane.Zack initially thought he married a woman that burdens his family, as she only knew how to spend money. He could not imagine that she would find such a great opportunity after he was growing accustomed to her horrible spending habits. Without Jane, he would not be able to attend an occasion like this now.“Go, p*ss off.” As Jason glanced at the couple with a joyous expression, Jane finally lost composure and drove Zack away.“Aye aye!” Zack patted his clothes, half crouched, and yelled enthusiastically. Both women were driven into laughter, while Jason also felt amused.“Ah, the event is finally over. I am really tired.” Madison rubbed her shoulders and spoke in realization.“I'll give you a massage after we reach home.” Jason smiled.
“I wouldn’t lie to you.” Jaden rolled his eyes.“Haha, true. Not bad, you really are a lucky star in our family.” Elder Stone laughed and smacked Jaden’s shoulders.Elder Stone realized that Phoebe’s unexpected gain was because of Jaden. This time, he only hoped to maintain the relationship between his family and Jason.“Remember, whatever it is you have to do, do it. If you need anything, just ask the family.” Elder Stone spoke with a serious expression.“Grandpa, why do we need to appease Jason this much.” He was shocked by Jason’s connections. However, he thought their family was influential as well. It could be said that their influence was on par with Jason. It was understandable if they were to befriend Jason, but he realized that their family had taken it to an extreme.“You wouldn’t understand. Wipe that thought from your brain. Whatever he asked of you, just do it.” Elder Stone commanded.He thought that Jaden was smart but did not have common sense. Thus, he needed to g
The day went by in a blink of an eye, and soon it was the next day. Hank woke up early and got dressed for work. He adjusted his tie in front of the mirror before leaving.He made his way to his office and greeted everyone around him. Yet, he had not noticed the strange gazes that other people had towards him.When he sat down on his desk, the coworker beside him calmly said to Hank, “Hank, the manager wants you to meet him in his office.”“Oh.” Hank nodded lightly, then went directly to the manager’s office. He felt little joy in his heart while wondering why the manager wanted to meet him all of a sudden.‘Could it be the gift that I have given him last week? I was going to get a promotion?’ That was the only reason he could come up with why his manager wanted to see him in his office. With joy and nervousness, he knocked on the manager’s office door. “Come in.” A deep voice sounded from inside.“Manager, you were looking for me?” Hank carried a smile and slightly bowed, aski
