The Smith Group wanted to establish themselves in Taadi. The local fashion brands in Taadi were unstable to start with and were on guard all the time. Now, word had gone out that the Smith Group tried to murder the chief designer of their competitor! At once, everyone in the fashion industry in Taadi City became nervous. Every big designer of local street wear kept looking over their shoulder for fear that they would be next. Terror seized both the fashion industry and the public. In front of a police station in Taadi City, Hilda, as the head of Pourl, accompanied Brian and Gli to give their statements. They were very cooperative with the investigation. But, Billy continued to deny that he hired those hitmen, and even brought a lawyer to reverse the verdict. He also pulled out his foreign citizenship and requested diplomatic immunity. At the same time, there was even less proof of Gli's accusation against the Bowen Family. The Bowens also had a capable team of lawyers which made h
These days, Luna had even been begging Nathan to bring back the water buffalo from the farm to raise at home. Sitting there, he felt the hairs stand on the back of his neck as he watched a rooster in diapers walk across his magnificent golden living room. Suddenly, Hilda cried out, "Oh no! Our pig is gone!" Nathan almost wanted to clap with joy, but he still put on a concerned face and asked, "How did it go missing? Did you forget to lock the door before leaving the place?" The pig was kept at the house that the Stephenson Family used to live in. They sent the pig there every morning and brought it back every night. Someone would go there to clean the place every day. No one was stationed there permanently, but the door was always kept locked. To their dismay, when they went to pick the pig up today, they found that the door had been pried open, and the pig was gone. Connie frowned. "How did it just disappear?" It was just wrong for someone to steal a pig in broad daylight! Hi
At the Bowen Residence in Smith City, Arlo was keeping a close eye and intended on provoking Hilda. But, it did not seem like he had to intervene anymore because she was already ready to tear his younger brothers to pieces to avenge their pig. After Arlo stole the pig, he still wanted to steal a chicken and mess with the dogs just to aggravate her further. To his surprise, the pig was enough to get her riled up. A series of actions had already taken place on her end. The Bowen Family's reputation in Taadi had been ruined. It seemed like that was Hilda's retaliation from being provoked. Without approval from the relevant department, however, who would dare to do such a thing? It showed that Taadi had already started to deal with the Bowen Family. But, of course, the people in charge did not have to do it themselves, they just had to pay someone behind closed doors to take action. Tarnishing the Bowen Family's name was the first step. It laid the foundation for a more precise follow
Plum Technology started the company developing online games, so it had long since begun to involve itself in the high tech electronics industry. It had also released a series of gaming computers and office computers, and owned a number of independent high tech intellectual property rights. The market response toward their electronic products was good. The Damien Family had a lot of shares in the company, and that was why those talented in this field, who had left Salem's company to join Connie, were arranged to work in Plum Technology. The Damien's, including Thomas, Lynn, and Bruce, were all working for Plum Technology. The company even paid a lot of staff from Salem's company to work for them, threatening Salem's status one step at a time. If the Damien Family was taken down, Plum Technology would act as a backup to support the high tech electronic industry of Taadi City. By then, the existence of the Damien's would be greatly threatened. But, it really didn't matter whether the
Since the last time Hilda was looked down on due to her educational background when she went to an interview for Luna's kindergarten, she realized that her bachelor's degree alone did not cut it. The parents at the kindergarten were all graduate students, and even all of Hilda's staff had at least a master's degree. So, she had spent the year studying and finally passed Taadi University's graduate entrance exams. "We're both majoring in financial management!" Knowing that she would become classmates with Nathan soon, Hilda felt extremely happy. But, Connie's frown deepened. Are the two of them trying to experience the youthfulness of university life that they had missed out on? They are entering their thirties and forties! What youth is it that they are still trying to experience? However, since this was still considered good news for Hilda, the family decided to celebrate it with some alcohol. The news of Hilda getting into graduate school soon spread abroad. Even Arlo had mad
At noon, a group of migrant workers came up to the top floor of the Smith Group's building without the company's knowledge. They put up a banner asking for their wages. Because the neighborhood was a high class commercial area and the road was blocked, people could only walk, resulting in a huge flow of pedestrians. The moment the banner was set up, it attracted the attention of a lot of people. The entrance to the Smith Group was crowded by people who stopped by to check out the two big, red banners that were put down from the top of the building with 'Return Me My Salary' written in red and black. "Oh my god! Does the Smith Group actually owe their migrant workers wages? I'm exposing them online!" "It's hard to believe they belong to the Forbes 500! And in the luxury products business no less? I finally see through them now!" "They even discriminate against women during recruitment!" "Damn the Bowen Family. They committed treason against the country hundreds of years ago and k
The Bowen Family was caught off guard by this mysterious force, and with the recent rumors within the company, Oliver could no longer keep his cool and finally decided to make use of his own metaphysical powers to resist.The Bowen Family used to be a royal family. Back when they first left the country, they took all the civil and military officials with them. And amongst them was their psychic grandmaster.All this while, the grandmaster had been living with the Bowen Family, passing his name from generation to generation.Oliver used to look down on them in the past. But, at this moment, they suddenly came to his mind and he quickly invited the grandmaster over.The grandmaster had finally arrived. Under broad daylight, he began with his rituals. He was determined to force back the evil metaphysical power Samuel had attracted over.All of Smith Group's staff came out to watch. There were even a bunch of pedestrians blocking the plaza in front of the Smith Group. They were talking ab
Arrogantly, Sahara walked toward them on her heels as she took off her sunglasses slowly. The moment she saw Hilda and the others, she immediately knew what they were here for. "Huh! Looks like you guys found out about our plan. You've been following right behind our asses after finding out that we're here to find Jude McCoy" Mockery was evident in her tone as soon as she opened her mouth and spoke. Taking two steps forward, Hilda gazed down and said, "Wow! You're wearing a skirt again." When Sahara heard the word 'skirt', she was so frightened that she took two steps back subconsciously, remembering the fear of being stripped by Hilda in public. With anger and hatred, she gritted her teeth and said, "A country bumpkin like you also wants to join the fashion industry? What a joke! You better go back and play with your dog!" Not willing to lose the fight, Hilda replied, "If even a swimmer can do it, why can't I?" After she said that, she turned around on her heels and walked tow
