Chapter 5 The Boss Showed Up

Author: cici
last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
At the headquarters of Wolf Group International of B City, all the executives were sitting in the conference room, keeping silent.

Last night, they received a notice from the CEO's Office at eight o'clock.

It said the CEO, who had never shown up before, was coming to the company today.

Undoubtedly, he was the most mysterious person in B City.

Three years ago, an unknown buyer bid for the most prosperous business block in the center of B City at the price of more than two billion dollars.

Later, it cost more than ten billion dollars to build the tallest building of B City, which was named Wolf Group.

Within just two years, Wolf Group was involved in many industries and profited well, such as hotel, catering, real estate, financial industry and film-television industry.

Wolf Group was the most profitable company in B City. However, no one knew who owned it.

This plutocrat had never been seen in public, and even no one knew his real name. The only thing people knew was that his first name was Anthony.

Now the boss was about to show up, and all the executives dared not to behave casually. Everyone was sitting properly and making guesses about him.

At ten o'clock, someone came closer to the conference room.

All the executives looked at the door tensely.

Marcus Field came first, who was the Executive President and the Chief Secretary of Wolf Group.

He entered the conference room and bowed, "Sir, please!"

And then William Howard walked in casually like a model.

William was tall and slender, and he had the air of a noble man with good-looking features. When people saw him clearly, they were all amazed.

No one had expected that the mysterious big boss turned out to be such an extraordinary youth.

For a moment, everyone was staring at William in shock. But he ignored their reactions and walked to the main seat in the conference room. He sat down and glanced the crowd.

His gaze showed the dignity as a superior. Having eye contact with him, the executives immediately withdrew their sights and stood up together to greet him, "Welcome, Mr. Howard!"

In fact, William was always rigorous and resolute in his work, so he talked concisely and finished the regular meeting in less than half an hour.

Marcus left with him and they entered the CEO's Office soon.

The office was decorated at William's will. And it had been vacant for a long time, waiting for its owner's arrival.

William looked around and sat down on the large chair with satisfaction.

Having been worked for William for a long time, Marcus could see that William was in a good mood at present, so he smiled with relief when standing at the other side of the desk.

"Mr. Howard, I think the fact that you are the real boss of Wolf Group will soon be known by others. I wonder how your families will react when they find out."

William smiled significantly, and what he said was totally beyond Marcus's expectation.

"They won't find out anytime. prepare an internal document and asked all the executives to keep secret."

"Are you still going to keep it a secret?" Before that Marcus thought William was to show up in public after returning home from abroad, not expecting that he decided to continue to keep it secret.

"My brothers will be go crazy and stressful if I show up in public. It's better for me to be an useless freeloader. After all, my dad is weak now, and I don't want him to worry about us." answered William.

Marcus knew very well about the Howard family, as he had been working for William for a long time.

The rich and powerful families were always friendly on the surface, but in private, they struggled for equity and property.

William had became a so-called freeloader because of his older brothers.

If his father had not been badly ill, William wouldn't come home so soon.

Now Master Howard was in poor health, and William was as filial as always. He had already endured his brothers for so many years, not minding the situation remaining for a bit longer. Then Marcus replied, "I see. Shall I keep handling the business affairs on behalf of you?"

"Yes, everything goes the same as before."

As they were talking, Marcus's phone rang. He looked surprise when he heard the person at the other end.

After hanging up the phone, Marcus looked at William seriously and began to report.

"The identity of the woman last night was figured out. She is Mrs. Howard's nephew, Mason Eich's girlfriend, and her name is Valeria Brown."

Hearing this, William felt a little astonished. He thought, "She is Mason's girlfriend? Well, interesting!"

When she walked into the lobby, she bumped into Ashley. Ashley was sitting in the lounge in a good mood with her mother Julie. And she was stunned when she saw Valeria came in.  After whispering a few words to Julie, Ashley strode over to Valeria. "What a coincidence! Valeria, are you also here for dinner?" But Valeria didn't want to waste any time on this shameless woman. But Ashley obvio

She won't go home because she thinks we're gross." Ashley was wickedly wicked. She framed Valeria again. Sure enough, Ronald was disappointed at Ashley's words. "Valeria, I didn't expect you were so narrow-minded. Since you don't want to go home, don't go back for life!" Mason was angry as well when he saw the fingerprints on Ashley's face. "How many times do I have to tell you, Valeria? I fell in love with Ashley first. She didn't do anything wrong. You can't do anything about it!" This was the first time that they had met each other since Valeria found out about Ashley and Mason's affair. Valeria was hurt and resentful at Mason's earnest defense of Ashley. After all, she and Mason had been together for four years, quite a long time. At that time, Valeria took care of Mason d

    Ashley wanted to show off to make Valeria angry, but she was kicked out in the end. Now she felt extremely upset. But she and her mother had gone through so many of these humiliations. Therefore, she did not feel much shame this time. However, it was a different story with Ronald and Mason. They were celebrities in B City and had never been humiliated by others before. Now they must be displeased. Ashley guessed. Ashley thought that she must seize this opportunity to continue to sow discord between Mason and Valeria. "How did Valeria get to know the boss of Wolf Group? She must be up to something. I think she set us up with others, did she?" "Set us up with others? But who?" Mason asked. "Maybe her friend, Abbie Clark? I heard that Richard Clark, the elder brother of Abbie, is on good terms with Marcus Field, who is the CEO of Wolf Group, so maybe..." At Ashley's words, Ronald went mad with anger, "How dare she! It's time to teach her a l

    In the other presidential suite next door, William took a sip of his tea after getting his work done. He asked Marcus casually, "What is she doing now?" "She? You mean miss Brown? She ate most of the food prepared for her. Later she was shown to the suite to rest. The butler reported that she is now taking a bath and seems to be in a good mood!" Marcus replied. Hearing this, William was amused, especially when he recalled her standing in the lobby with tears streaming down her face. Seeing the smile on William's face, Marcus knew that he was in good mood now. "As for Mason and Ronald, they must feel uncomfortable after being treated like that. Will they vent their anger on Miss Brown?" "Definitely!" "If so, why do you still stand by Miss Brown?" Marcus was confused. "I love to. Is there anything wrong?" William replied calmly. What had happened last night involuntarily occurred to him. He remembered everything included the way Valer

    Valeria couldn't believe the man would offer to pay for the bill for her. She looked up at him and found that he was looking at her too. He was perfectly charming with his dazzling eyes. Being stared at by him, Valeria felt more embarrassed. Before that, she hated him to the bone, but now she seemed to have a good impression of him, for it was he who had helped her out of trouble. "We're talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars, and that's not a small amount of money." Valeria said. "I know!" The man picked up the pen and scrawled his name on the bill handed over by the cashier. For some reason, Valeria thought he was so attractive when he signed that he didn't look like a pimp at all。 Then William put down the pen and walked away. After a few steps, he found Valeria stood still blankly. He was amused by the way she looked and asked, "Aren't you going?" Soon Valeria nodded and kept up with him. But she felt strange and questioned herself

    William was very charming when he smiled. But all of a sudden, he became emotionless, as if he had changed into another person. Valeria felt a little scared and continued to ask nervously, "You're being paid to do this, aren't you?" "No way!" William was really angry. Did this stupid woman take him as the partner of the woman who had set her up?  Valeria was irritated when the pimp denied so confidently and asked, "Then why were you on my bed? Are you sure that you haven't accepted Ashley's money? Aren't people of your profession paid to do that kind of thing?" "That kind of people? Which kind of people, huh?" William became a little displeased. He realized what was going on immediately after he heard what Valeria said. Now she thought that he was involved in the conspiracy and regarded him as a pimp. William was speechless. How could there be such a handsome and rich pimp like him in the world? He was amused by Valeria, who was turly inn

    Ashley was extremely surprised when she saw Valeria get out of a Maybach. She remembered that Richard had a Maybach, and she couldn't help wondering the relationship between Valeria and him. She just said it off the top of her head last night and did not expect that they would be a couple. Whatever, she decided to frame Valeria again and make Mason hate her to the ground. Meanwhile, Valeria felt bad after hearing what Ashley said. She thought, "Did the d*mn pimp give her a ride because of Ashley?" Valeria did not understand why Ashley set her up again since she was already dating Mason. What the hell was she planning to do? Now that Valeria could not figure it out, she did not say a word and just looked at Ashley indifferently. Mason was extremely upset after hearing Ashley's words. Apparently, he had seen Valeria getting out of the Maybach as well. But Mason still did not believe that Valeria had an affair with Richard. So he stared at V

    Mason was losing control due to his anger. He glowered at Valeria and shouted, "It was you! You are the one who had betrayed me first, and all I can do was just to pay you back, right?" "Betrayed you?" Valeria looked at Ashley indifferently, who was standing aside gloatingly. Ashley admitted that she had slandered Valeria yesterday. And that was why Mason thought Valeria had betrayed him. Mason knew Valeria well. But now he chose to trust Ashley and believed that Valeria had betrayed him. At first, Valeria was disheartened and did not want to quarrel with them. However, Mason had gone too far and she had to fight back. So she looked at Mason ruthlessly and questioned, "Did you see it personally or just hear it from others?" "Well, I can show you evidence!" Mason answered immediately. "Oh, really? Then just show me!" Mason couldn't believe that she dared ask him for evidence. He looked at Ashley, "Ashley, show her!" Ashley was only t

    On the day of Azalea's recovery, she was escorted out of the hospital by two police officers to wait for her sentence. She was wearing shackles and handcuffs as she walked through the parking lot. She saw Michael with Abbie, who was holding Emma in her arms. Michael was holding Abbie's waist, ready to get into their car. Seeing that Michael had recovered, Azalea was extremely perplexed. She had learned from the police that Leonard's man had tried to kill her to silence her and knew that Leonard was using her, so she did not regret her vicious behavior. Azalea stared at the child in Abbie's arms and Michael as she started to have vicious thoughts. If the one who got injured that day was Abbie, and if Abbie died, everything would be different now, wouldn't it? Michael would be living a life worse than death. His child would not have a mother anymore, and no one could have what she couldn't. She would be satisfied. However, all of this was just her imaginatio

    After Leonard's matter was settled, Richard returned to the Clark family. Abbie wasn't asleep yet and was sitting alone in the living room in a daze. Richard walked to her and sat down. Then, he reached out and patted her on the shoulder. "Why aren't you asleep yet?" "I can't sleep. Richard, he... he will be fine, won't he?" "Don't think too much. He will be fine." "I don't want anything to happen to him... Richard, I actually hate him very much and have never thought of being with him again. I have suffered enough! Every time I made up my mind to cut all ties with him, something bad would happen like what happened now. Richard, what should I do?" Richard understood Abbie's dilemma. "Abbie, do you still love him?" "I don't know! I hate him! I hate him so much!" "You can't let him go, can you? You and he broke up three times, but he has always been in your heart." Richard sighed. "To be honest, I don't want you and him to start over again. After

    It was late at night in Azalea's ward as she lay on the bed and fell asleep with her eyes closed. Three of Azalea's ribs were broken while one of her hands was handcuffed to the hospital bed. The policeman guarding her felt that there was no way she could escape, so he relaxed his guard. The man who was arranged by Leonard's assistant had been waiting for the right moment in the hospital. Then, they immediately entered the ward and attacked Azalea when they saw that the policeman had left. Just as they covered Azalea's mouth and were about to suffocate her to death, a soft voice could be heard by the door of the ward. "Hey! Are you trying to silence her?" The man turned his head and saw that Bobby were taking photos with his mobile phone while Silas was bent over in laughter. Later, Leonard was woken up at 2 a.m. in the morning when Richard and his bodyguards came to visit him furiously. Leonard had already guessed the purpose of Richard's visit as soon as

    It had been two days since Leonard's assistant brought Azalea back to the city and she was specially sent here today to attack Michael. Although Azalea hated Michael, she did love him immensely in the past and she didn't want to kill him. The one she hated the most was still Abbie. She had been overshadowed by Abbie since she was a child and she had never won against her before. It was all thanks to Abbie now that she ended up like this. Michael wouldn't deal with her if it weren't for Abbie, and she wouldn't have been driven to a dead end like this. She was going to die in the end anyway, so she wanted nothing more than to drag Abbie down with her. She knew that she couldn't get close to Abbie. Besides, she also knew very well that Leonard wanted to use her to kill Michael so that he could marry Abbie. Azalea acted as if she had been persuaded by Leonard's assistant to attack Michael, but in fact, her target was Abbie all along. She saw how desperat

    Azalea looked up when she heard the voice and met Leonard's assistant's gaze in the car. She stopped crying once he got out of the car. "Miss Clark, I've been looking for you everywhere!" Azalea lowered her head frantically when she saw him, but he said warmly, "Miss Clark, get in the car." She didn't know if Leonard's assistant knew about the murder she'd committed, so she hesitated for a moment before getting into the car. He then gave her a bottle of water and some food. Azalea was famished because she hadn't eaten anything for a few days, so she wolfed down her food desperately. Leonard's assistant had been observing Azalea all this time, and he said once she finished eating, "I know what you've done! The police are now looking for you everywhere." Azalea's expression was filled with panic. "Are you going to hand me over to the police?" "No, I'm here to help you." "How can you do that?" Azalea asked in frustration. "I won't be a

    It started to rain again early in the morning, which made the air in the mountains damp and cold. Meanwhile, Azalea lay motionlessly on the messy bed. She could hear the child's wailing from outside while Monthel's mother tried to coax the child. However, there was no sign of it ending even after some time. Monthel's mother started to become angry as well, so she scolded the child and eventually began to target Azalea again. "Why are you still lying in bed at this time? I've never seen someone as lazy as you. A wife should get up early in the morning to cook, but you are the only one who will laze around like this!" This was not the first time that Azalea had been scolded. Monthel's mother had begun to pick on her the second day after she arrived. Azalea would fight back initially, but she no longer dared to talk back after she was slapped in the face by Monthel. Monthel's mother cursed outside for a while. Then, she lifted the curtain and came into the ro

    Leonard's expression turned very ugly, but Richard did not give him a chance to even catch his breath. "After I learnt of your relationship with her, I sent someone to extract the DNA of the fetus in Evelyn's belly and compare it with yours. The results show that she's indeed pregnant with your child, but you can verify it personally if you don't believe me." Since Richard dared to say this, there was no possibility for Leonard to turn the tables. The veins on Leonard's forehead bulged as he was filled with humiliation. He initially wanted to get back at Fandrey by asking him to propose the marriage to the Clark family, but she ended up being embarrased like this. He was furious, but Richard continued, "We are very grateful to you for saving Abbie's life. Although she can't marry you, we can continue to be friends if you want to." What could Leonard say? He had done a terrible mistake, so he couldn't possibly tell Richard that he wanted to cut all ties between t

    Abbie tried her best to escape, but it was useless. Michael even kissed her on the face a few times, which made her so angry that her voice trembled. "Michael... F*ck you... I'm going to kill you!" Michael turned a deaf ear to her words because he hadn't been so close to Abbie for such a long time. He missed her like crazy, so how could he bring himself to let her go? Abbie kept struggling desperately, but her physical strength was no match for Michael's. Michael then carried her back to the sofa, which made her furious because she couldn't escape. "Michael, what are you trying to do?" Michael did not answer her at all. Instead, he just hugged her so tightly as if he didn't want to let her go at all. He hugged her for such a long time that her whole body had gone numb. "Michael, what's wrong with you? Let go of me! I can't move!" It was only then did Michael let go of Abbie. Her limbs had already gone numb and she felt extremely uncomfortable. Just t

    Michael happily placed the coffee he ordered for Abbie in front of her. "Here, I've ordered your favourite coffee." However, Abbie sneered and picked up the coffee to splash it all over him. The coffee was very hot, but Michael just smiled bitterly and said, "Do you hate me so much?" "What do you think?" Abbie looked at Michael coldly without any affection in her eyes. "My feelings for you have never changed! What happened between me and Azalea is all fake, and I've never had anything to do with her. The news with Anastasia was also fake. I was the one who used her to provoke Azalea, but Leonard made up those news articles to get back at me. I swear, I haven't been with anyone else apart from you!" Abbie let out a cold laugh, "Really?" "I'm serious! I swear that I'm not lying to you!" "There's no need to swear, or else even you'll beleive your own lies." Michael became desperate when it was obvious that Abbie didn't believe him. "What do I have
