Hayden and Paisley waited half an hour for William to arrive at the small conference room of the Howard Group's building. Hayden was a little annoyed, so he picked up his phone to call William. William's ringtone rang from outside the door. He walked in nonchalantly once the door was pushed open. Hayden hung up the phone angrily and glanced at the time after seeing him walk in, "You're late! I'll let you off today. If you're late again next time, I'll deduct your bonus!" William raised his eyebrows upon hearing Hayden's words before replying, "I still have a bonus? Speaking of which, Chairman, how much is my bonus per month? Is it enough for me to have a good meal in the Wolf Group?" "We are working right now, so let's talk about work first," Hayden glared at William with a headache. He then looked at Paisley and said, "Paisley, didn't you prepare a proposal? Let's have a look at it." Paisley smiled and handed out the copies of the proposal that she
In the Central South Building, Kyrie, the assistant with gauze on his eyes, took a contract and pushed the door open in a hurry. "Mr. Brown, the contract is ready. Please have a look at it." Ronald took the contract and read it carefully with a smug smile on his face. "Good! That's good! Print two copies of this contract and let me sign them!" Kyrie agreed and was about to walk out when Ronald called out to him again, "You're fully in charge of this matter, so make sure that no information is leaked out. Do you understand?" "Don't worry, Mr. Brown. I've been with you for so long, so I know the rules!" Kyrie took the hint. Ronald narrowed his eyes and laughed coldly as he watched Kyrie leave to print the contract. This was the consensus he had reached with Hayden at the secret meeting last night. He would transfer all of the Brownard Group's assets to Hayden. In return, Hayden would give him ten billion dollars. Brownard Group would no lon
After Abbie hung up the phone, she immediately called Richard to tell him about it. Richard was very surprised when he heard Valeria's request. "Are you sure that Valeria told you this?" "I'm very sure! Bro, this situation is extremely urgent. Her father isn't a good person, so you have to help her. Otherwise, she'll be in deep trouble!" Abbie didn't know what was going on, but she knew that she had to help Valeria. Richard laughed and replied, "Alright, I got it. You don't have to worry too much, and you should ask Valeria to take it easy, too. It won't be a problem." Abbie was relieved when she saw him agree to Valeria's request easily. She hung up the phone and reported to Valeria. On the other hand, Richard hung up the phone and immediately called William, "William, your wife wants me to freeze the company's assets for her. Did you know that?" William was very surprised. It seemed like Valeria knew of Ronald's plans as he had just given the same
Valeria had purposely searched online to look for shops that replicated stamps privately in B City. Once she found one, she immediately rushed to the shop and paid a huge sum of money for the shop to fabricate the Brownard Group's stamp. After the seal was made, she rushed back to the Central South Building. Valeria had just parked her car when she saw Kyrie. He had one eye bandaged, and he was getting off his car hurriedly with his bag in his hand. Kyrie was Ronald's slave. He was the one in charge of helping Ronald carry out his dirty deeds. Then, Valeria rushed towards him and greeted him, "Mr. Gibson, you're coming back to work? How's your eye? You should've taken an extended break." Hearing her voice, Kyrie turned and hastily tried to hide the bag that he was holding as he stammered, "Good morning, Miss Brown... I mean, Vice President Brown!" "You don't have to address me so formally. It's just a powerless title given to me," Valeria smiled and said.
Upon hearing this, Valeria laughed secretly to herself. The stamp was in the safe, and she had to seize the opportunity to switch it out later. Not wanting to stay any longer, Valeria left quietly. This whole time, Ronald and Kyrie had no idea that she had been listening to their conversation just outside the door. The two of them continued their discussion for a while. After some time, Ronald glanced looked at his watch, "Wow, time flies. It's already time to eat, shall we go?" Then, Kyrie agreed by nodding. "Are we going out to eat, or are we just eating in the dining hall today?" "Let's go to the dining hall. Since Valeria is at work now, I'm worried that she'll create trouble, so let's not go out today." "Alright, I'll go ahead to the dining hall to order for you then." With that, Kyrie left the office and headed to the dining hall to place Ronald's order. As Kyrie walked out of the office and turned around in the corridor, Valeria came out of th
Wearing a cap and a pair of sunglasses, Lamont had arrived in West-Hill cafe and was scrolling through his phone while waiting for Archer. Around ten minutes later, he heard footsteps coming his way as Archer entered the coffee shop through the front door. Then, Lamont stood up to greet him, "Mr. Saunders!" Archer gestured for him to sit before asking, "What's wrong? Why are you looking for me so urgently?" Next, Lamont nodded, "Yes, I wanted to ask a quick favor from you. It's about Miss Valeria Brown." "Valeria? Do you mean Natalie's daughter?" A mysterious expression flashed across Archer's face a while before disappearing. "What about her?" "Valeria came to me for help when she heard that Ronald was preparing to transfer his funds. As you know, I'm not too knowledgeable about business issues, so I thought I'd ask you. Valeria is just a helpless young child, surely you have some idea to help her, right?" Lamont explained. After that, Archer
Valeria got off her car and met up with Abbie, who had arrived before her. Abbie was grinning from ear to ear as she greeted Valeria, "Well, something good must have happened to you, right?" Valeria sat down and gulped down a glass of water before answering, "I have shocking news, today I discovered that there is an evil streak inside me after all." Abbie was excited to know more, "Really, what mischief have you gotten yourself into this time?" "Shush! Don't be too loud, you never know who might be listening in to our conversation," Valeria pretended to look around suspiciously before lowering her voice as she moved closer to whisper to Abbie. "Can you believe it? I actually switched out the company's official seal to a fake one!" "Wow!" Abbie exclaimed while sticking out her tongue, "I can't believe you did that!" "Right? I guess people do end up taking desperate measures when they are forced into unfavourable situations after all," Valeria answered glee
Valeria arrived outside Howard Group half an hour later, but there was no sign of William. She had no choice but to park her car before calling William, "Hey, I'm here, are you coming down soon?" "I'm coming!" William answered as he grabbed his coat before leaving his office. Steven, who had been working outside the door, looked up to William with a smile before greeting him, "Are you leaving now, Sir?" "Yes!" "Sir Hayden has requested you to wait for him, Sir." "What? Why do I have to wait for him?" William paused. Steven sighed and scratched his head, trying to evade William's sharp gaze. "He wants you to go to the company dinner with him and Ms. Anthony, but his driver's out running an errand so you all can only leave later." "Alright," William agreed readily, "I'll meet you all downstairs then." Steven heaved a sigh of relief at his answer. He was fully prepared to deal with William's anger, but it appeared that he got lucky as Willia
