Anything that could be discussed had value.After someone tried to raise doubts and was refuted, no one on the board of directors thought that it was a small matter anymore. They all expressed their opinions seriously.The opinions were mainly divided into two sides.Some people felt that they should take care of Aquilo’s needs first and save the business relationship with the Lovehart family.There were also people who wanted to severely punish the managers of the store for being dishonest.“Do you think the store management was after profit?” Abel asked slowly.Everyone was confused.Was there something going on behind the scenes?Nicholas’s eyes flickered slightly. He looked at Abel uneasily and told him, “Abel, what do you want to express? Why don’t you just say it? There’s no point in making us guess.”The meeting room was silent. No one dared to speak.After Abel said that this matter needed to be taken seriously, Nicholas still dared to talk back.Although they were s
The meeting room was dead silent.Many people looked at Nicholas in confusion.The latter forced himself to remain calm. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Abel did not give him a chance. “At first, I didn’t believe that this manager was Nicholas’s subordinate, so I got Kallan to investigate.”Kallan closed the video and pulled up another image. It was a list of calls.He stood in front of the screen and explained what the call logs represented.“These are the phone records of the store and Nicholas’s office. I’ve heard everything.”At this point, Kallan paused for a moment. He adjusted his glasses and said awkwardly, “It’s confirmed that Nicholas sent out this batch of orders. The details of the calls may jeopardize the harmony of the Blakewell family, so we won’t publicize it.”Everyone understood what his words implied, and they looked at Nicholas even more subtly.If Nicholas had tried to struggle and defend himself again… It would not bode well.Howev
When Nicholas heard Abel ask Sherman, he felt a little relieved.Sherman was brought up by his grandfather. He respected his grandfather and was very supportive of him.Most importantly, he was highly respected among the other members of the board.If Sherman spoke up for him objectively, there would be more people supporting him.However, before his satisfied smile could widen, it froze. Almost subconsciously, he slammed the table and stood up.“Mr. Zane, do you know what you’re saying?!”Sherman was still thinking about how to ensure that Nicholas still retained some power. Then, later in the future, if he achieved some results, Sherman would have an excuse to suggest transferring him back.However, when Sherman heard Nicholas’s outburst, he frowned. “What kind of attitude is that? Did I say something wrong?”Meeting the dissatisfied and reproachful gazes of the crowd, Nicholas suddenly realized that he had been too rash. This would give Abel more reason to chase him out.He
As soon as Sherman said this, everyone looked at Nicholas unhappily.Most importantly, Sherman’s words struck a chord with the rest of the directors.They had worked with Abel for many years and knew how he handled things.He was very objective and did not mix private issues into the company’s matters.He was decisive.It looked like he was determined to pursue the matter.Between Frank and Nicholas, everyone knew who to protect. However, Nicholas was stupid to have used Frank’s name to defend himself.“I—”Abel glanced at his phone screen and his gaze softened. “Alright, since no one has any objections, that’s all for today. Dismissed.”He had no intention of saying anything else. He stood up and walked out of the door.Nicholas stood in the conference room and watched as everyone left. He felt truly helpless.He used to be one of the leading figures in the corporation. His subordinates were respectful to him, and his seniors were full of praise for him.However, everyth
Ruth probably did not see Abel’s message and did not reply.When Abel arrived at the underground garage and got into the car to start the engine, his phone suddenly vibrated.It was a call from Ruth.“Hello?”“About my reward … I have a bold idea.”“Tell me.”“It’s not too bad, but it might be more expensive…” Ruth was beating around the bush.Lily had snatched a wedding favor at the wedding and had yet to redeem a house.She had won a villa in Moon Creek Bay. It was some distance away from Cloud Water Residence. Ruth wanted to stay closer to Lily, but she was afraid that Lily would not want to live with them, so she hoped to swap the villa in Moon Creek Bay for a spot in Residence.The villas in Cloud Water Residence were even grander than those in the Kingsland Manor residential area. One needed money as well as connections to buy it…That was why she had asked Abel so plainly.As Abel started the car, he asked her in amusement, “Is this the reward you want?”Ruth asked,
Seeing that the topic was spiraling out of control, Abel stopped her at the right time. “Anyway, where are you? I’ll come and pick you up.”“There’s no need to pick me up. I’m going to look at the house with Lily. It’s alright.”Ruth hung up.Abel glanced at the black screen of his phone and a hint of helplessness flashed across his handsome face.Why didn’t he realize that Ruth’s temper was this bad?Who was the one who spoiled her?After thinking for a few seconds, he dialed another number.The call went through very quickly. “Hello? Mr. Blakewell.”“Well, where’s Ruth?”Eilam had just returned to the Cloud Water Residence with Ruth and Lily.Hearing this, he turned to look at Ruth, who had been seated on the sofa. At this moment, her face was filled with anger as she strode upstairs to the bedroom.Every step she took was filled with resentment. “She’s at home. Why are you looking for her?”Abel replied, “If she goes out later, follow her.”Eilam was at a loss. Wasn’t t
Lily smiled. “I know that my personality keeps most people away.”She had been flirting with Galen for so long and had spent so much time on him.Naturally, she knew what kind of person he was.He was upright, cold, and very traditional when it came to relationships.He could not accept her frivolous attitude toward relationships. He felt that she was only toying with him.“That’s because most people don’t understand you.” Ruth frowned.“Yes. Then you should at least give Galen a chance to understand me, right? Don’t worry, I get my heart broken. I’ll wait for Galen to make his move now.”She did not want the relationship to be one-sided even before it started.Therefore, she would not take the initiative to pursue Galen again. She would not lose herself in chasing after him.Of course, if Galen wanted to understand her and take the initiative to approach her, she would not refuse.No matter what his motive was in booking a villa in Moon Creek Bay, she would not run away.
Night fell.The Cloud Water Residence was very beautiful. It was surrounded by water and artificial mountains.At night, it looked even more elegant.A red Bentley slowly drove into the villa.The car stopped in the courtyard and two figures got out.Ruth looked up at the second floor.The lights in the study room went out. It was completely different from before.“Abel didn’t come back, did he?” Lily asked in surprise.Ruth frowned in confusion. “He didn’t say that he would work overtime today. Moreover, he’s technically still on his honeymoon.”No matter how busy he was, he would not suddenly work overtime or go on a business trip, right?After entering the house, Ruth realized that there was a light on the second floor and walked straight up.Lily followed behind like a little follower.There was a crack in the master bedroom, and a faint light shone out. It was completely different from what she saw in the courtyard.Ruth felt anxious.Did Abel go home first without t
