What happened with Alexis and Tiger passed. Javier did not pay attention to what it ended up in, nor was it worth his regard.He was more focused on two things now. One was whether Quinna could resolve the delay and objection from Jesse and others to reach a business partnership with him on hydrogen-fueled vehicles, and the other was the conflict between William and Arthur.It had been days, yet both of them stayed quiet. It did not feel right!Did Arthur swallow it down again and was waiting for a chance to end William once and for all? If that were the case, his uncle was really patient, and he would have to watch out for him in the future.Nevertheless, the next afternoon after Javier thought about that, he received a call from Ciara.“Javier, William’s lover outside was r*ped and killed, and several people did it.”That meant it was a group assault and a purposeful action to make William a cuckold!Ciara then told him that William had ordered an investigation in rage and tra
Walt saw red when Quinna suggested renaming the corporation to Failure Group. He slammed the desk so hard and furiously that the pen jumped out of the pen holder.“Quinna Aurum, watch your words. You’re a high-level executive of this company too!”Walt was seething, but Quinna was the same. After his slam on the desk, she took off her heel and knocked the heel of it on the desk, crying angrily after that, “You think you’re the only one who can knock the desk? Were you elected as chairman to knock on the desk? Was it based on you knocking it loud enough or rhythmically enough? Go slam your palm on the desk in front of Jesse Hanson if you’re so good. Why are you slamming it in front of me?“Was I wrong in this? It’s Jesse and his lackeys who are wrong—not me!“And you slam the desk at me? What gives you the right? Are we playing the authority card now!?”The Heisenberg Group’s chairman was thoroughly infuriated by Quinna. He felt his blood pressure shooting up and black dots swimm
Jesse was overwhelmed with anger at that moment. He never thought that a meager little boy from a rich family would have the nerve to insult him.“You dare insult me!?”“I could beat you up if I wanted as well. Would you like to try me?”Jesse was so frightened that he retreated when he saw Javier rolling up his sleeves without hesitation.Jesse had once been a young and hot-blooded man in the past, but as his belly grew, that hot-blooded temper of his decreased.Especially when Jesse saw the toned muscle on Javier’s arms, his instincts were screaming out to him that those arms would pack a punch. ‘If he punches me on the head, I’m sure it’s going to be painful. Of course, it would hurt no matter where he punches, so the best option for me would be not to let him beat me.’Jesse took a step back and said, “Let’s resort to verbal communication only…It’s a crime to assault others after all!”Javier truly did not know how he should rate Jesse anymore. “You didn’t think about the la
Quinna could not find the words to say at that point, filled with the impression that Javier had indeed said those words to imply what she had thought, the especially embarrassing kind. Yet, Javier ended up saying he simply wanted to admire her.Although she would not have been a good horse per se…That was not the point! The point was she had misunderstood what Javier meant. Plus, the most embarrassing thing was that she had even thought of something compromising instead.When she realized this, Quinna’s face turned completely red, to the point she probably could have bled out.“I-I-I…”After mumbling for almost 10 seconds, nothing else could come out of her mouth except “I”.Usually, Quinna would be pretty good at a verbal debate, but thanks to her embarrassment, her brain was no longer functioning properly, and she could not utter a single sentence.Meanwhile, Javier’s face was filled with embarrassment, but he was secretly overjoyed. ‘Let’s see how you’re going to get out of
After sending Quinna to the hospital, a doctor who passed by examined her and concluded she had not fractured any bones. After that, Javier sent her back downstairs. When she got out of the car, he handed over Quinna’s car keys and asked, “Do I have to send you back upstairs?”Quinna hurriedly waved her hands. “No!”She genuinely did not dare have Javier send her back. ‘If Dad were to see us together, God knows what he might think. He’s been pushing me to get married for so long and even thought that Javier was pretty decent after meeting him, which is why he’s been pestering me to be in a relationship with him for a while now.‘If he sees us together tonight, I’m sure I will not be able to live in peace from now on with him pushing me to get married…’Meanwhile, Javier did not force Quinna to let him send her home. Instead, he helped her to the elevator and pressed it.Javier was about to leave after the elevator arrived, but Quinna suddenly called out to him and said, “Javier,
Zephiel agreed with Javier’s idea. Long ago, he had once told Javier that he should focus on being a businessman if he were ever one. He would have to fulfill his duties to the max before he began to consider whether he was worthy of being involved in another area. However, if he were to get involved too soon, he would only end up being a businessman with limitations.Obviously, Zephiel was within the other area, while Javier still had a long way before even getting close.Thus, Zephiel agreed to Javier’s request. “All right, I’ll have someone arranged to deal with this issue.”The old fox may have agreed to Javier’s request, but the former did not seem to want to hang up. Instead, he seemed to be pondering about something. Javier thought about it for a moment and immediately understood what was happening. Hence, before the old fox could say anything, the little fox spoke first.“Grandpa, there’s nothing I can do about Wyatt and Uncle Arthur. I suppose I don’t have to go into m
Three days later, Javier received a call from Liam.Liam informed Javier that a few people from the science and technology department’s law enforcement showed up at his doorstep, saying that he was designing something that was invading others’ privacies. They needed to take everything back to check through in detail.Javier knew that these people were doing their jobs according to the law, just like how the police would have to send out their men whenever someone lodged a report. The people from the law enforcement had proceeded completely by the book. After taking Liam’s designs back to investigate and confirming that he had not invaded anyone’s privacy, they would naturally return them in one piece. However, it would be difficult to say for sure whether someone would secretly make copies of his designs and their information while the hydrogen fuel propulsion system was being taken away. ‘Looks like this is Jesse’s plot. He’s going to have the designs investigated, taken away, a
News about Jesse being taken away had spread throughout the entire company.On top of that, he was not the only one arrested. All of his minions were included, with none of them spared from being investigated. So long as the court had not sentenced them, they were all taken in to be investigated, be it an interrogation or a questioning session.However, everyone knew very clearly how it was going to end without even needing the court to pass down their sentence. Jesse and his group of people who focused on benefits were thoroughly finished.There were suddenly a whole lot of vacancies in the company’s upper management, so they needed to promote new blood for the company to resume normal operations. Hence, Quinna was made the deputy general manager under Walt's endorsement, taking over all of Jesse’s projects.This was absolutely worth celebrating since Quinna had managed to become the second-in-command of the entire company when she was only still in her thirties, which made he
