Silas then said sheepishly, “They have to, right? Their shares are now available to be bought out. After how the madam showed them the situation they’re in, they now have to keep their head down!”The two of them were already unhappy with the elders for a long time down. However, Conrad simply let them be out of the respect he had for his grandfather’s relationship with them! The madam had done very well this time and helped their boss deal with a major threat within the company!“Are you done?” Conrad said icily.The two of them shuddered and looked at Conrad, who was standing behind them.“Why did you walk so quietly?” Silas mumbled.“You have a problem with that?”“Of course not,” Silas said as he gave him the stack of guarantees. He then dragged Tiger away.Conrad looked at the guarantees in his hand and walked into the office, stopping in front of Fia’s desk.“You’re done with the meeting?” Fia smiled at him as she narrowed her eyes.“Yeah.” Conrad stared deeply into Fia’
“That’s because their children and grandchildren are all useless!” Conrad had a headache just thinking about it.His grandfather told him about it too and he did want to promote them.However, after Silas investigated them, he couldn’t use any of them as they were rotten to the core. They were all worthless and all they did was stir up trouble.None of the elders’ family members were of any use!He had no choice but to give up on them and promote the staff from the bottom rank.“All of them? How’s that possible?! They’re quite wealthy, so their children and grandchildren should have received a good education!”“Just because they had a good education and environment doesn’t mean that they could learn well.”Fia frowned. She then remembered how Conrad would always be bullied by the other scions when he was still a teen.Now that Conrad had become the best of the youngest generation in Gryphon, everyone else that bullied him back then was quite useless if she was to think about it
When they heard her voice, both of them turned to her.“What is it, Madam?” Silas asked with a serious expression on his face. He didn’t intend to answer any questions that would touch his boss’s bottom line.“Will William be tortured when he’s sent to the Hellish Training Camp? Would he starve or get cold?”Silas and Tiger let out a sigh of relief and both of them answered, “No!”Fia glared at Silas suspiciously and then switched her attention to Tiger.“Tiger, you were physically frail last time, right? What kind of training did you undergo?”Tiger was stunned for a moment before answering, “Don’t worry, Madam. Mr. Lane’s son won’t undergo one-tenth of the training I went through.”Silas nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Don’t worry! The boss already told them that the main focus is to strengthen Mr. Lane’s son physically. Training is only secondary.”“Then why can’t they send a doctor to Gryphon to watch after William?”Both of them quickly shook their heads with a shadow
“Right…” Silas pushed himself up and quickly left.“What is it?” Tiger saw Silas running back with a defeated expression on his face. He couldn’t help but be curious.Silas didn’t say anything and simply turned around with his back at him, and then knelt down.Tiger was shocked. “What are you doing?”“The boss told me to get punished by you.”“…”“Make it quick. Otherwise, when the boss comes here with his beloved wife, he might get angry and punish you along with me!”Tiger was confused, but his boss’s command was absolute. He took out the taser.“How many times?”“The boss didn’t say,” Silas cried. Ever since he left the Hellish Training Camp, he had never received this kind of punishment.Tiger frowned. “Fifty?”Silas gritted his teeth and wanted to retort to him, but back in the camp, fifty was the lightest punishment.“Do it!”He had been punished many times back in the camp. He survived all of them, didn’t he?However, when Tiger’s taser touched him, he collapsed on
Conrad led Fia out of the company before turning and looking at her.“Why do you keep on staring at me?”Fia lowered her head and mumbled, “I realize that you’re a mystery to me right now. There are too many sides of you that I don’t know.”“You’re scared of me?”“No, just not in a good mood.”“Why aren’t you in a good mood?” Conrad led Fia to the roadside, waiting for the pedestrian light to turn green.“I feel like not everything’s in my control, so I’m not in a good mood.”“Fia, you want to seduce me?”“Of course not!” She simply wanted to know more about him. Wished that he didn’t hide that many secrets from her.The light turned green. Conrad held Fia’s hand tightly as they crossed the road, making sure that she was by his side.“The reason that I didn’t show you everything I have is because I want you to be curious about me forever, so that you won’t feel bored.”“That’s so unfair. To you, I’m like an open book!” Fia felt unhappy.Conrad frowned. After they crossed th
Esme simply stood there with her jealousy eating at her!Even when she was Conrad’s girlfriend, he had never been so close to her! Never!Peter’s eyes glanced at Esme’s face, and a glint of darkness flashed in his eyes. He extended his hand and prodded her back. “Why don’t you choose a place since we came to this restaurant for lunch?”Esme stumbled forward as she immediately lowered her head, hiding the sorrow and jealousy in her eyes.Fia turned around and saw “Britney” and Peter who came together and quietly pinched his waist.Conrad glanced at them and turned his attention back, before gently asking her, “What do you want to eat for dinner?”Fia turned her attention back too and smiled at him helplessly. “We haven’t even eaten lunch yet and you’re already thinking about dinner.”“We have to arrange it earlier.”“No thanks. I’ll take you to a nice place for dinner tonight!” she said as she raised her eyebrow.“Sure.” Conrad smiled.Peter snorted at a volume that only Esme
“Britney.” Peter’s calm eyes laid on Esme. “Did you come here for lunch with the expectation of seeing Conrad?”Both Fia and Esme were speechless.Conrad put down his glass and looked at Peter. “What, you’re here to get back at me?”“Haha! What are you talking about, Conrad? It’s not my place to get back at you for anything,” Peter said as he patted Esme’s arm. “Didn’t you say you have something you want to ask Conrad? He’s here now, so why don’t you ask him?”Esme’s thoughts were in turmoil.Peter then reminded her, “You missed Esme so you went to the Mannings’ mansion for a walk. Didn’t you say you want to ask Conrad about something?”Esme’s eyes opened wider, and she stared into Peter’s eyes, hypnotizing herself that she was Britney.“Conrad… Esme and I were good friends when we were overseas. I treated her as a sister of sorts. After I came back, I found out a little about what happened. While she made mistakes, I believe that you’re entirely at fault!”Conrad raised her ey
Esme quickly lowered her head. “I didn’t. You’re wrong.”“I’m not blind now.” Fia freed herself from Conrad’s grasp and walked over to Esme’s side, and looked at her from up high.She bent down and whispered to Esme, “If you really love Peter, Britney, don’t even think about educating us using the name of the person Peter loved the most. Otherwise, you might lose more than you think again!”Fia emphasized on the word again. When Esme heard those words in her ears, she instantly became nervous.She extended her hand to push Fia away, but before she couldn’t even touch her, a cup that Conrad threw her way immediately hit her hand. She cried out in pain and retracted her hand.“What are you doing?!” Peter stood up angrily and stared at Conrad.Conrad merely said with a cold expression, “From how nervous you’re being right now, it doesn’t look like you’re completely without any feelings for her.”Peter didn’t care about stopping his fury toward Conrad and said, “Not only because of
