None of them were able to utter a single word.Just a moment ago, they were all boasting about how they had a net worth of either a hundred and fifty thousand dollars or even seventy thousand dollars. But now, both Mario and Dickson had been plunged into bankruptcy.Most importantly, Cassey’s wedding had to be canceled since the Pykes could not afford to pay the hotel for their wedding.The entire place fell into an awkward silence as every single one of Samantha’s former classmates’ faces turned red. This was especially true for Cassey, who could only look at Adrian like a fool.Amidst their silence, Adrian slowly sat on the sofa and said, “Does anyone else have a net worth of a hundred and fifty thousand dollars? Hmm?”Everyone felt a chill run down their spine, not daring to utter a single word.Adrian found this laughable and continued, “You guys were all flaunting your wealth earlier, so why the sudden silence? Are you all chickening out already? Where did all that gusto go?

Samantha was finally able to put down her concerns.She felt rather brokenhearted when she saw what Adrian had done before, never realizing that he had planned every single detail.‘He isn’t as reckless as I thought he’d be.’Thus, her opinion of him changed ever so slightly.The pair headed home after they were done having lunch.Without her company, Samantha was at a loss, not knowing what her future was going to be like. However, work was still an important part of every person’s life.When she got home, Samantha took out her laptop and began typing up her resume to apply for a job.Her life was filled with ups and downs—being forced to work as a normal employee after being an employer at a major company.Samantha did not leave the house the entire afternoon, sending her resume to company after company in hopes of finding a decent job.Meanwhile, Adrian was in the living room watching television.It was not until three in the afternoon that she suddenly received a message.

They were clearly here to ask Samantha for help, yet when it actually came to asking, they ended up ordering her to do all those things instead.None of the Cowells had any intention of humbling themselves.In fact, even Francis was laughing as he said, “She’s right. We’re ordering you to do those things for us, not beg you for them. You aren’t worthy of such a luxury.”Nathan nor Hugo stepped up to stop those two from saying such hurtful things, and neither did Violet.With a supremely arrogant expression, Violet said, “So, there you have it. When are you going to make the trip to Nine Kings?”“I…”At the end of the day, the Cowells were her family, so Samantha had no idea how she should reject them. Instead, she turned around to look at Adrian, hoping he would say something on her behalf.This was the very first time Samantha was relying on Adrian to be her shield.Would she do anything Adrian said if he asked her to?Thus, Adrian said, “I’m really sorry, Madam Violet, but i

Every word Adrian spoke reignited Samantha’s lost hope.It was fine that she had lost Bailar because she could just set up a new company.Adrian’s voice reverberated in Samantha’s ears for a long time.Samantha was caught in a daze.He patted her on the shoulder and said, “Sam, take some time to think it over. I’ll support you regardless of your choice.”Adrian did not elaborate any further.Samantha sat on the sofa and pondered over Adrian’s statement.***On that same night, Samantha could not sleep. She tossed and turned in bed but she could not fall asleep.She pondered over many things, especially what Adrian had said. One could say that he had pointed a way out for her.Samantha lay on the bed and thought for a long time before she made up her mind.She decided that she would set up a new company.When the decision solidified in her mind, she immediately got out of bed and started penning down her plans. Just as Adrian claimed, there was a high possibility for her to

Meanwhile in Swallowston, at the Paraiso Group.Seven years ago, Paraiso was the biggest enterprise and ranked first all throughout Swallowston. It was on par with the Cowell Group at the time and both companies were extremely influential.But after Henry’s passing, Harold forcefully took control of Paraiso. Ever since then, the company had suffered a disastrous decline.The company went from being the first-ranked company in Swallowston to a small, unpopular company.Meanwhile, at Paraiso, in the general manager’s office, Cedric, who had on a suit, was going through the accounts while another young man sat next to him.The young man was named Jacob and he was Wilfred’s son.Cedric and Jacob were cousins and they were the highest management personnel of Paraiso at the current moment.Harold held seventy percent of Paraiso’s shares while the other thirty percent was equally divided between his two sons and two grandchildren. Cedric and Jacob were given the posts of general manage
