Sonia’s movements were delicate, gentle, and careful, so much so that fine beads of sweat formed on her forehead.After it was done, Andrius’ face did not hurt as much, and the anger in his heart also mostly dissipated.“Ms. Timberland, are you here because something happened with the new company?” Andrius took the initiative to ask.“No.” Sonia came to report to Noir about the new company.Since Andrius was here, she simply said, “The new company has been founded. It’s called Celestial Enterprise.“There’s an idiom that says, ‘just as the celestial bodies above never stop orbiting, so should we always strive to better ourselves’. Thus, I chose the name Celestial so that the company will run smoothly in the future. What do you think?”“Sure.” Andrius nodded with a smile and made a decision.There were too many companies and partnerships under his name, so he never asked about their names.However, the idiom that Sonia mentioned sounded good. It referred to how the country’s peo
On the other side of town, Luna brought Halle back to Dream’s Waterfront. She helped take Halle’s coat off and placed her on the bed.Luna’s thoughts were hard to guess as she looked at Halle on the bed. She planned to part ways with Andrius before the little actions that Belarus made.However, Belarus had seemed so eager that day. She was afraid that he would be very sad if she divorced Andrius at this time, thus she could only suppress the idea temporarily.However, after what Andrius did...Luna was furious. She had to think about how to explain it to Halle when the latter woke up. Halle never liked Andrius, so this would be adding oil to the fire...The next morning, Halle slept through the night and woke up in a daze.Luna stayed by her side and quickly asked, “Halle... are you okay?”“Mm...” Halle hummed reflexively and realized that it was Luna beside her. The memories suddenly flooded into her mind.She remembered that before she fell unconscious, Andrius had broken thr
“I knew it!”Halle’s expression reflected her words. She stared at Andrius with her large eyes, trying to see through this man. “Andrius, just who are you? I find that I understand you less and less!”Andrius could not help but laugh.How could a little girl see through the great Wolf King?He shook his head with a smile. “You’re still not qualified to know my true identity...”“Tsk.” Halle snorted, and a cunning light flashed in her eyes. “I’m not qualified now, but...“Once we sleep together, I’ll be your woman! I’ll be qualified to ask then, right?” She acted like a rogue and leaned forward domineeringly.“What are you doing?” Andrius was suddenly stunned.He had tons of ways to deal with an enemy. However, he was helpless when dealing with women!Soon, he was backed into a corner by Halle.“Andrius...” Halle leaned closer and whispered softly into his ear, “Look, you’re a grown man, but you’ve never been with a woman before. I’m telling you... Sleeping with me is incredib
“What’s the situation?” Andrius asked hurriedly. “Ms. Timberland is here. If you are not in the middle of something, come to my place and we’ll talk you through.” “Sure.” Andrius hopped on his electric bike and headed to Noir’s garage. When he arrived, he asked, “What happened?” Sonia felt confident after seeing Andrius. She explained, “When I was going through the Crestfalls and the Millers’ assets, I found out that one of the three office buildings in Sumeria, the Stardust Complex, belonged to the Millers. “There’s no way I’ll let such a good location go to waste, so I plan to make the building an office for Celestial Enterprise. However, when I visited the location this morning, the building was occupied by the Carmines of the capital. “I contacted the person in charge, but they were rude and they looked down on our company.” That being said, Sonia was furious. “I sent my men to negotiate with them, but they refused to step away and they have grown even more audaciou
Sonia was fuming. She bellowed, “Peter Carmine, stop being a bully! Sumeria is not your backyard that allows you to do whatever you like.” “Hahaha…” As a wealthy second generation from the capital, Peter assumed a higher status than others, and he did not care about the dignitaries in Sumeria, not even the Timberlands who were one of the big three families. “I don’t want to waste my time with you. I’ll be waiting for you at the Stardust Complex. If you have what it takes, then bring it on.” A hint of viciousness flashed on his face as he scoffed at Sonia. Then, he wanted to leave the cafe. Andrius, who had been quiet the entire conversation, finally spoke, “I don’t want you to waste my time either. Give us back the Stardust Complex and we shall still be on negotiation terms. I can simply turn a blind eye to this. But, if you insist, then not only you but your whole family will suffer the consequences and pay a hefty price.” His words made Peter laugh out loud. Even the bo
“So, you are the master of the Carmines? You’re early,” Andrius said with a smile after he had a glance at Dexter. Since Dexter was so punctual and eager to receive his punishment, there was no way he would welcome the man with a frosty reaction. Dexter was slightly surprised when he saw the electric bike. However, since the rider spoke and he seemed to be heading into the Royal Gardens, he must be the Wolf King. Dexter wore a flattering smile and wanted to bow at Andrius. “Wolf King…” “Father, what are you talking about?” Peter pulled his father back and said scornfully, “He’s the man that I told you about earlier, the man that Sonia had with her earlier. He’s not the Wolf King.” Dexter’s expression plunged into bitterness immediately. The master of the Carmines almost mistook someone else for the Wolf King! If this got out, how embarrassing would it be?! “Andrius Moonshade, this is the Royal Gardens, the Wolf King’s private mansion.” Peter scoffed and sized up And
“Wolf King, it’s my fault for not teaching my son right, hence giving him the chance to offend you.” Dexter knelt beside Peter, kowtowing repeatedly to ask for forgiveness. He knew that once Andrius put the blame on him or his son, the entire Carmines would be done for. “Enough,” Andrius said casually. He added, “I can spare you and your family in Kiyoto, but you will have to surrender half of your current assets.” Half?! It was a severe punishment. The Carmines had gone through multiple generations of hard work, internal conflicts, and business expansion to reach the current scale. Now, Dexter was forced to surrender half of them. “Yes. Yes. I will surrender half of our current assets. Immediately!” Dexter nodded repeatedly. He dared not argue with the Wolf King. Surrendering half of his family’s assets was a severe punishment, but it was better than what the Millers and the Crestfalls of the capital had suffered. “I will make the necessary arrangements when I go back
Soon, it was time for the opening ceremony to start. The emcee went on stage and announced, “Now, let us begin the opening ceremony for Celestial Enterprise!” Sonia, who was the person in charge of the company, went on stage and started the opening ceremony. Click! Click! Click! Shutters snapped ceaselessly as the reporters took pictures of her on stage, capturing a historic moment for the company. Celestial Enterprise started off strong. It contained all the assets and businesses of the Millers and the Crestfalls. In addition to the Timberlands’ own resources, it became a behemoth in the industry. It would surely affect the economy of Sumeria, or even the entire East River State, in the future. “Ms. Timberland!” “What are your thoughts on including the Timberlands’ business into Celestial Enterprise?” “Ms. Timberland!” “What are your plans for the next five to ten years?” “Ms. Timberland!” “Are the Timberlands the backbone of Celestial Enterprise?” The reporter
