"You're so naive," Veronica said with a small laugh. "Once you've spent enough time in the business world, you'll learn that it's not a crime if you're not caught.""Fine, then just consider it my ambition!" Corbyn said with a smile. "What's the point of quietly bribing a mere Head of Office? If I really wanted to cough up a huge sum, I would only be satisfied if I'm bribing to the President of the Abraham Exam Board.""Hah, you're just talking big," Veronica said mockingly.Despite that, she didn't force her own thoughts on Corbyn. She seemed eager to see how Corbyn would try solving this matter without spending an exorbitant amount of money within a week.Corbyn spotted a familiar face on banking systems in a café.He should make it clear that when he went to Merunica to study, it hadn't just been because of Dean. He had also made quite a number of friends. Even though Kelvin had looked down on Corbyn's school, it was still a well-reputed school by universal standards and far

Corbyn averted his gaze so that he wouldn't get lost in Dean's eyes.Liesel noticed that small detail. Corbyn had come without telling Dean and couldn't seem to look him in the eye. It seemed like they were having problems.Corbyn had also noticed the interest in Liesel's gaze. Even if he really had problems with Dean, he wasn't willing to let an outsider make fun of him at his expense. Smiling, he brushed past Liesel and grabbed Dean's arm. "Are you surprised?"Dean was still dazed. "Yes."Even after being pushed to the side, Liesel still kept an awkward but polite smile on her face.Corbyn then introduced Dean. "This is my boyfriend, Dean. Dean, this is my former classmate, Xavier Poole."Dean also introduced Thomas and Liesel to him, and the few of them exchanged name cards.When Xavier received Dean's name card, he was astounded. "Y-You're a business partner at M-Global?""Yes." Dean nodded slightly. "You became a partner so young. That's amazing!" Xavier turned to Corbyn

Rebecca was also shocked to find Corbyn and Pearl standing outside her condo. "What are you doing here?" she said in a heavy New Jorkian accent.Pearl stepped forward and introduced herself in perfect Yinglish. However, this was pointless because Rebecca recognized them. She said with a disgusted look, "You thieves, don't show up on my doorstep. I'll call the police.""Thieves?" Corbyn arched an eyebrow unhappily. "What exactly did we steal?"Rebecca chuckled coldly. "Your company uses counterfeit teaching materials. Isn't that stealing? How despicable.""Do you have proof that we use counterfeit teaching materials?" Corbyn said. "This never happened. You may be throwing around groundless accusations based on fake news that you heard."In reality, they hadn't gotten caught for purchasing counterfeit teaching materials. Neither the Autumnverst Education Group nor the Abraham Exam Board had concrete evidence to prove it. However, Rebecca didn't need concrete evidence. She just nee

Corbyn laughed derisively. Considering Rebecca's character, he knew that she had done more immoral things besides those that he just said. However, he didn't have the luxury of time to investigate further. He could only focus on these two incidents and use the evidence to threaten Rebecca into complying. "This is the invoice for the janitorial work and a recorded testimony. On the other hand, this is the receipt for the furniture as well as an audio testimony from the furniture salesman. If necessary, they can also come here personally to provide their testimony. "Now that I have both witness statements and physical evidence, do you think I should report you directly to the police or just inform the Abraham Exam Board?"Although the 50 thousand dollar furniture and the part-time housekeeping didn't make up a huge sum, the Abraham Exam Board had a zero tolerance policy for this kind of behavior. If Corbyn really submitted the evidence he had at hand, Rebecca would definitely ge

Rebecca already promised to move forward with the contract tomorrow, so there was no point in spending any more time there.Both Pearl and Corbyn returned to the hotel. Of course, Pearl was going to get some rest, while Corbyn had to run to Dean's party.Coincidentally, the dinner party was being held at Corbyn's hotel.Corbyn always treated himself properly—he had booked himself a five-star hotel. This hotel usually hosted all sorts of high-end events, so it wasn't out of the ordinary for Dean's dinner party to be held here.To look good, Corbyn had even dolled himself up.He chose to wear a business casual suit. The exquisite light blue suit hugged his figure perfectly, highlighting his slim waist. There was an inconspicuous logo stitched into his sleeve, and he completed his outfit with a pair of classic Brogue shoes. In his smart get-up, his charming face added a hint of liveliness to offset the formalness.Seeing Corbyn show up looking like that, Liesel—who was wearing a d

Perhaps, in the eyes of others, it would feel like a scene out of a romance movie.But for Corbyn, he just wanted to scream, "I could have reached it! I could have gotten it myself! Let me do it!""How did it go? Did everything go well?" Liesel asked, approaching him.Corbyn stood up from the couch and clinked glasses with Liesel. "What a coincidence. What is Mr. Dawson doing here?""This wasn't a coincidence," Liesel said, chuckling. "When Dean found out from Xavier about the trouble you were in, he specially extended an invite to Mr. Dawson to sort out the misunderstanding."Corbyn was astounded. "Really? That's rather surprising."Corbyn didn't think that Dean would have known Wade before. But it was like Xavier said, it wouldn't be a difficult feat to use the connections at M-Global to ask Wade for a favor.Hearing Liesel mention Xavier, Corbyn had a hunch as to what happened. After he and Xavier met Dean at the cafe, Xavier must have tried enthusiastically to get close to D

With a chime, the elevator doors opened.Corbyn quickly walked out of the cramped elevator and stomped to his hotel room angrily. Dean followed behind him at a normal pace. Maybe it was because he had longer legs, but he didn't fall behind too far compared to Corbyn, who was trudging quickly.The two of them stepped into the room. Corbyn first took off the stuffy suit jacket, revealing the white shirt inside. Because of his frenzied emotions, he was sweating. His shirt was plastered to his sweat-drenched back, making it seem like a work of art.Dean stared at his lower back like a child staring at a shiny new toy—he had this uncontrollable urge to put his hand on it.However, as soon as his hand touched Corbyn's body, the latter swatted his hand away angrily with a loud smack. Dean was astonished, looking like a child who didn't know what he did wrong."What are you doing?" Corbyn roared angrily.It was the first time Dean had ever seen Corbyn get mad at him. Not knowing what t

Corbyn lost his cool. "Don't you have anything to say?"Dean regarded him innocently. "You said you didn't want to listen to what I have to say."Corbyn slammed his hand onto the table angrily. "Then you should at least come over and try to console me."Dean felt even more wronged. "You asked me to stay away."Corbyn gritted his teeth angrily. "Oh, so now you want to listen to everything I say? If I ask you to break up with me, would you do it?"Dean was stunned. At that moment, he really looked just like a statue.Corbyn finally saw a ripple in the calm ocean within Dean's eyes.This was probably the first time that Dean showed a change in emotions since they first started dating.Dean was dazed and at a loss. Seeing him like that actually gave Corbyn a sense of satisfaction."What?" Dean's voice sounded unexpectedly weak.Corbyn had never heard him speak like this before.Dean had always spoken in a flat and cold voice, like a computer, except with a more natural tone. His
