"Didn't I tell you? I don't mind ruining Stefan in order to make him mine. He'll know how important I am to him once he's left with nothing and nobody, then he'll come back to me," Seraphina said confidently, a sinister smile on her face. "How ridiculous!" Renee snorted. "He's a human, not a toy. Do you think you can ruin him just because you want to? Plus... he'll never be alone. His parents, family, the kids, and I won't leave him no matter what position he holds.""You're just saying that because you haven't experienced it yet. If he becomes a target of scorn, and bad things happen when you both are together, will you still stay with him?"Renee shook her head. "That day will never come." "Why not? Hunt Enterprise is coming to an end, and his body can't hold on for long. By then, everyone will despise him, and he'll end up with nothing. He'll just be another worthless person saddled with debt. Don't tell me you'll still stick by him even then?" "Firstly, he'll never be worth
Seraphina tried her best to open her eyes. When she realized that it was Adie, the kid who had pushed her into the pond, she was furious. "You little brat! You nearly drowned me earlier, and here you are provoking me again. Do you have a death wish?" She snarled, rushing towards Adie.However, Adie sprayed her face with water again before she could approach him. Putting his hand on his waist, Adie warned her, "You're not our guest, and you're not welcome here. Please leave, or I'm going to spray you with toilet water instead.""How dare you!" Seraphina could not accept being bullied by a child, and lunged at Adie. However, Adie was smart, and nimbly avoided her as she chased him. Finally, she tripped and went crashing to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of grass and soil."Show some mercy, Adie. After all, she's a woman," Renee reminded Adie kindly as she drank her coffee elegantly. "I've been trying to make it easy for her, Mommy, but this crazy woman wants to mess with me...
Smack!"You did it again! I'm going to tell Dad and ask him to crush this lousy place of yours!" Seraphina wailed as she touched her swollen cheek. She fled, not even realizing that Renee was blind."Mommy, you're so cool. You drove her away so fast. You're a hero!" Hugging Renee's waist, Abby looked up at her mother in admiration. "I want to be a hero like you too when I grow up.""No, be a princess instead. Don't get into trouble," Renee touched Abby's head and said gently.Adie, however, was not satisfied. "That woman is a villain, Mommy. She came here to find fault with us, but you let her go with only a few slaps. Weren't you too easy on her?""Adie, you've already vented your anger on her, so there's no need to overdo it. Although she's not nice, she's not so bad that it's unforgivable. She's just a little stubborn. Plus, she's a victim in this affair too. She's quite pitiful, and she's been punished enough today," Renee patiently tried to persuade Adie. Despite Seraphina's
Stefan's late arrival at Hunt Enterprise upset the shareholders greatly. They were already unhappy with him because the sales report from the secretary had been dissatisfactory, and the atmosphere in the room was tense when he entered."You saw it, didn't you, Mr. Hunt? The profits for this year have plummeted, and our stock price has been decreasing. Undeniably, the company is on the verge of death. As the head of Hunt Enterprise, I wonder what your solution to this is." Shane Webb, one of the seven large shareholders, rarely appeared. He only came during the annual shareholder meeting, and he was always the most crafty and unkind. He never took Stefan seriously because he owned the most shares besides the Hunts."In the world of business, it's inevitable that profits will fluctuate. You never mentioned the dramatic rise in profits after Mr. Hunt took over Hunt Enterprise, and this is just a minor setback. Isn't it normal? The economy for the past two years has been bad, and most co
"Why do you say that, Mr. Hunt? The purpose of this meeting is to identify problems. We've got many competitors, and the internal conflicts in this company are getting serious. Also, many of our talents have resigned. If we don't come up with something, it's only a matter of time before the company crashes and burns." Wesley added fuel to the fire, nearly exposing his idea of dismissing Stefan.Stefan glared at Wesley coldly and sneered, "So, Mr. Jennings, what do you think is a good solution to this?" "Well... I can't bring myself to say it!" When Wesley met Stefan's gaze, timidness got the better of him. He kept his head low and didn't dare to speak. Shane then took over and said boldly, "His idea is simple—he wants you to rest and get better, and we'll appoint someone else as the president of Hunt Enterprise."The conference room instantly became silent.However, Stefan remained calm. He smiled and said, "Mr. Jennings, is that what you meant?" Wesley waved anxiously. "I...
All the shareholders looked at Jovan in shock."What? Isn't Mr. Jovan Hunt blind?""He was demoted from vice president because he looked frail, but he seems very energetic now!""I'm glad he's back. There's hope for Hunt Enterprise after all!"Everyone welcomed Jovan's return and hoped that he could replace Stefan to help Hunt Enterprise out of its predicament. Smiling, Jovan walked over to Stefan. "Stefan, I'm sorry you had to manage Hunt Enterprise alone all this while; it must have been tough on you. But I've recovered now, so I'm here to help you."Stefan stared at Jovan coldly, and when he saw Jovan's eyes, his heart skipped a beat. An unsettling theory emerged in his mind, but he didn't want to think about it. "Work well for Hunt Enterprise then. We're in the same boat, so if you can help revitalize the company, your return is more than welcome." "You're a generous and insightful man, Stefan. Don't worry—I won't let you down. If it's necessary, I might even take up your
"I share the same opinion as Elijah—I think Hunt Enterprise should play safe instead of expanding its projects," Stefan said finally."Mr. Hunt, why have you become so conservative? Do you want this company to be knocked off its pedestal?" Wesley said to Stefan rudely."Calm down, gentlemen. I know why Stefan's become like this..." Jovan explained to the others, "You know that he was down and out for the past six months, and his body has become quite fragile. That's why his character has changed a lot, and he's become conservative. However, what you don't know is that he's had two brain surgeries, which would be a huge blow to anyone... Harry, send Stefan's medical report to all the shareholders.""Okay, Mr. Jovan." Harry nodded and sent Stefan's check-up report to the shareholders.Enraged, Elijah snarled at Jovan, "What are you doing?! Mr. Hunt's medical report is meant for his eyes only! What gives you the right to hand it out?" "Mr. Young, calm down. I agree that medical repo
Jovan's words struck Stefan speechless. Stefan had only learned much later that it was all because of Jovan's eyes and blood that he had survived. Technically, he owed Jovan his life, so he couldn't argue with him about this. "If that's the case, we can experiment with your plan in the next season, Jovan. We'll see the effects after the expansion," Stefan sounded regal and dignified as he spoke and all the shareholders present listened to him attentively and dared not object."You're insightful, Stefan, and it seems like you truly care for the company… but there's something I'm curious about. What's your next step if the profits of the company do skyrocket after the next season?" Jovan faked a smile as he asked Stefan slyly. "What do you want me to do?" Stefan boldly met Jovan's gaze, staring him down. The atmosphere became tense. After a while, Shane said, "Mr. Stefan, we all know you're a generous man. If Mr. Jovan can help the company prosper, I'm sure you'd be willing to giv
