“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
“Hank.” Daisy called out to him cautiously after she saw Hank’s psychotic expression.“What?” Hank yelled.“Go and ask Madison for help! She may be able to help you,” Daisy suggested gently.“Beg her for her help?” Hank muttered. “That’s right. I’ll beg for her help. She wouldn’t refuse to help me since she had helped Clark the last time. I just need to know who had done this to me,” Hank said calmly.He had been fired randomly from work. Funny enough, he still did not know who was behind this.At the same time, Jason was in the countryside. His manor there was already renovated. It had not taken long since he did not want to change much of the design, and Raphael had been following the progress closely.The manor sat on a beautiful hill, away from the city; thus, the air was incredibly fresh. It was a much better change of pace compared to the previous place. Even Icy, who was usually emotionless, looked happy.“This is a good place.” Icy smiled.“Yes.” Jason hung up the phone
“We have moved to a new place. I will be heading there later. Why don’t you just tag along.” Dustin chuckled.“Yes, thank you.” Sylvia smiled.“Ah, you’re welcome.” Dustin gestured and instructed several workers to load the medicinal herbs onto the truck. When the back of the truck had been filled with the medicinal herbs, Dustin cautiously placed the plaque inside as well. “Follow me!” He then told Sylvia.“All right.” Sylvia had a prideful smile and nodded. ‘It doesn’t matter if you moved. I had managed to find you anyway.’Dustin drove the car, and the truck followed behind. Sylvia sat in Dustin’s car and asked, “This is a weird question but, what is your relationship with Doctor Sky?” As a reporter, she would not give up any chance to obtain information.“About me? I’m just an employee, running errands.” Dustin chuckled. He knew that he could not simply say that Jason was his grandmaster; that would be too far-fetched.“You run errands in a car like this?” Sylvia was slightly
