The pain in his wrist was bone-deep. Pardo could not take it anymore, so he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Hey! Let go of me, or I’ll kill you!""Behave yourself," Elio barked in a low voice as he tossed Pardo’s hand aside, sending Pardo staggering back."Mr. Rinz…!" Sunny shouted happily when she saw Elio, but then she began to frown with worry. Pardo and his gang had done all kinds of evil things. She was afraid that they would harm Elio.Elio nodded and comforted her. "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I'll definitely seek justice for you and your mother.""Thank you, young man." Sunny's mother quickly thanked him. However, seeing how young Elio was, she thought he would not be able to win against Pardo, so she said softly, "But I'm afraid this is beyond you.”"Don't worry, there's nothing beyond my capabilities," Elio replied firmly.Pardo steadied himself and glared at the young man. When he took in Elio’s boyish face and cheap clothes, he immediately lowered his guard and snapped
Elio's eyes were filled with disdain. "Go ahead, call whoever you like. I'll wait. However, don't say I didn’t warn you. Once you call anyone, I'll break your legs."As the overlord of this area, Pardo would never be threatened by an unknown kid. He said angrily, "You have guts, kid. I'll break you later." He then dialed a number and shouted anxiously, "Blackson, bring all our mates over for a fight. And bring your weapons too!"Sunny and her mother knew how formidable Pardo was, and they became even more afraid. Sunny's mother begged, "Pardo, can't we just pay back the money? It has nothing to do with this young man. Please let him go."Pardo spat and gritted his teeth. "It's too late now. He beat up my mates! I can’t let that slide.” Sunny approached Elio and said anxiously, "Hurry up and run. Don't delay any longer, or you won't be able to escape later.""Why should I run? Don't worry, no one would dare to kill me." Elio was completely unconcerned. Still, in order to protect S
There were many armed and dangerous men gathered around their house now. Sunny's mother was almost paralyzed with fear. Her entire body trembled as she said, "What should we do? What should we do?"Worried that something might happen to Elio, Sunny urged him anxiously, "Just leave already. Don't worry about us."However, Elio said in a tone that allowed no argument, "Listen to me, and go into the house. I'll take care of this."Sunny was helpless in the face of Elio's stubbornness. She could only whisper, "Then be careful, and find a chance to escape." After that, she helped her mother into the house and closed the door. She then watched nervously from the window.The men roared and rushed forward, swinging their clubs at Elio. "Bastard, I'll beat you to death!""You should have known better than to pick a fight here!"Elio moved as fast as lightning, snatching the wooden club from a man's hand and kicking him to the ground. Then, he raised the wooden club to block another atta
There were now almost forty people lying on the ground around the house. These usually ruthless bullies were like mangy dogs in front of a stronger predator. All of them were too scared to get up.Many people watched from afar and basked in the schadenfreude. Those scumbags had finally gotten their just desserts!However, the residents did not know who their savior was. Who could be powerful enough to torture Pardo and his gang like that?The crowd whispered, "I didn't expect the Davises to have such a strong backer. Even Pardo can’t stand up against them!”"That man is probably some rich and powerful friend Sunny made. That girl is so pretty and sweet. Any man would like her!"Sunny and her mother came out of the house uneasily. When they saw the scene in front of their house, they could not believe their eyes. The insufferably arrogant Pardo was completely defeated. His subordinates had been beaten black and blue!Elio's cold gaze swept across the mobsters. "Listen up, scum. My
Elio had no idea Sunny was in such a predicament. He made up his mind to help her and her mother out of their situation, telling them in no uncertain terms that he would take care of their debt. Sunny's mother used to sell vegetables at the market, earning less than fifty dollars a day. Elio gave her a job at Evamor, which included food and accommodation at the employee dorms. Her salary and bonus would add up to at least three thousand a month.It was more than they could ever hope for. Sunny's mother thanked him profusely, saying that her hard days had finally come to an end.Sunny was even more moved. They had only met by chance, but Elio had repeatedly helped her out. She really did not know how to repay him.Elio looked at her gently and said, "Sunny, I just established my own company, and I'm officially asking you to join me as my assistant. Will you work for me?"The sudden good news surprised Sunny. Her red lips parted slightly, and her eyes were filled with joy. She nodd
Although the flowers were ordinary and inexpensive, they had grown nicely under Sunny's meticulous care. Their bright and healthy buds, just on the brink of blooming, sometimes reminded Sunny of herself.She had been thinking of coming back for them later. After all, it would be too troublesome to take them away now, not while Mr. Rinz and the others were still waiting for her. She understood how much a wealthy tycoon’s time was worth. Every second was precious… yet Elio was willing to spend his time on her whims."Thank you!" she said sincerely. Henry and the others understood what they had to do. That young woman had already achieved a meteoric rise and become the chairman's assistant in an instant. She was an important figure in the company now, so they became even more respectful toward her. They walked into the house and carried a pot out each, making sure to take care of the flowers.Once the door was locked behind them, Sunny and her mother looked back and sighed inwardly.
The saleswomen all went green with envy!It was all because they had judged a book by its cover. When Elio first came to the shop on an electric scooter, they looked down on him and ended up missing out on the opportunity of a lifetime. What did Sunny do to deserve such wonderful look?Everyone turned to Sunny, who said, "Thank you for your guidance thus far, manager. However, I feel that the position Mr. Rinz offered me has brighter prospects, so I'm leaving the store. This is my resignation letter. Please take a look."Taylor accepted the letter and sighed. "You’re an outstanding employee, Sunny. I was hoping to groom you into my successor, but I can understand that you want to explore greener pastures. Mr. Rinz has a discerning eye. I’m sure you have a bright future ahead of you. I accept your resignation.”"Thank you!"Not long after that, everyone watched as Sunny left in the luxury car with Elio. She was like a celebrity in the limelight.Once they were gone, the saleswomen
Sunny said obediently, "Thank you, Mr. Rinz." She did not want Elio to spend any money on her, but her current outfit did not match her new position as his assistant. Besides, she could not simply defy her boss’ decision.Elio was driving a luxury car worth millions, and he had a beautiful assistant by his side. It was no wonder that he was in a good mood. He had finally made a comeback! He held the steering wheel with one hand and swiped the multimedia screen with the other, playing an old favorite song of his. “And don't speak too soon, for the wheel's still in spin,“And there's no tellin' who that it's namin',“For the loser now will be later to win…”The song was too old for Sunny. She had never heard of it before, but she could hear the weary helplessness in the lines. She could not help but sneak a glance at Elio. Although he was only a few years older than her, she could tell that he had gone through a lot in life.…Goldpeak Tower was the largest shopping mall in Cloud
