"Why is it early when it comes to my daughter?" grumbled Karen. "Since Rita isn't suitable, then you should at least consider Sadie. After all, she bears the Russell family name now. If she can marry Sherman, it will only benefit this family."Vince, has it slipped your mind that the family business has been laying off employees for three consecutive years, and our revenue has been declining year by year? You have to take this issue seriously. The glory of the Russell family mustn't end in our hands."Karen's words struck Vince's heart like a heavy hammer. Indeed, the problem he had been worrying about all along was the possibility of his family's glory ending in his generation. The entire family had been thriving since his grandfather's time, so how could it end in his generation?"You're right. Sadie is also my daughter, no different from Rita. And guess what? I have a way of making Sherman marry either of them."Karen's heart started beating like a drum. She knew about the favor

"So, Sherman, will I ever get to see you get married in this lifetime? What's the point of sitting in your office every day, earning all that money? The money you've earned can last you several lifetimes, so you should spend some time getting your marriage in order."Sherman continued to eat his meal leisurely. He had a busy day at work and looked forward to coming home for dinner. He did not at all expect to receive so much nagging. However, he felt fortunate to have so many cared about him. After all, not everyone could count themselves so lucky."Grandpa, please don't say that. You're definitely going to live a long life," replied Sherman calmly.Simona, his mother, also chimed in. "Yes, Roger, you shouldn't say things like that just because you want to see Sherman get married. Both you and Chelsea are going to live long lives. As for you, Sherman, I'm not in a hurry to see you get married. I just hope you can spend more time on yourself rather than dealing with those contracts e

"We did, and we've followed all proper legal procedures to obtain the property rights. This is the information about the person who filed the case against us, and we're still in the process of looking into him," replied the manager.Sherman nodded slightly. "In other words, there's no issue on our side. Why are you so worried, then?"The manager stopped walking, prompting Sherman to do the same. He turned to look at him with an eyebrow raised."The man looks like he's a homeless person. He's caused quite a stir. Several media outlets have reached out to him. I fear it might have a negative impact on our company, so I thought I should report it to you," explained the manager with a frown.Sherman nodded, signaling for the manager to continue walking. "Your concern is valid. However, such incidents between developers and residents are quite common. Many residents are dissatisfied with the initial prices offered by developers. Especially when they learn that the area they sold might b

Rita found the whole thing suspicious. It was her first time interviewing with the social organization, and it was a completely different experience from interviewing celebrities. The cases handled by the social organization were usually closely related to the lives of ordinary people. Sometimes, they would also have to deal with unbearable and horrific cases.Nevertheless, Rita preferred dealing with these people.She would fight until the end for justice if it was true that the man's family had been forcibly occupied by unscrupulous developers. While her other colleagues were busy exploring the environment, Rita squatted in front of the man again with her pen and notebook in hand."Hello, my name is Rita Russell. I'm a rookie reporter for New Capital Times. I'd like to know more about your situation. Would you be willing to accept an interview?"The man glanced at her, and only then did Rita notice that he was crying. His face was so dirty that the tears left two obvious white tr

Ironically, they—as reporters—hated nothing more than injustices in the world. It was their mission to expose such darkness. When it came to themselves, however, they had no choice but to submit to reality.Nonetheless, Rita was different. She had no qualms about confronting Chase head-on.The other colleagues felt quite vindicated when they saw Chase seething with anger at being unable to counter-argue Rita.After all, Rita spoke nothing but the truth. If he truly had the ability, why did he not conduct the interviews himself? It was because none of the interviewees liked him; he was just too cocky for them."Why, you... Hmph, just wait and see," said Chase angrily.Rita tossed her bag onto the chair and crossed her arms. "Are you threatening me? I'll have you know I'm not afraid of any threats. Go on! Why don't you show me all the underhanded tactics you have? It's my interview materials you want, isn't it? I might be a rookie, but I'm pretty sure I'm a thousand times better tha

However, that small faction of shareholders did not have enough power to dictate Sherman's decisions. Not when those who had been through thick and thin with Sherman, building Parr Group from scratch, chose to follow him unconditionally.They believed in his vision and foresight. They accepted the fact they were not as visionary as Sherman was and could not see the things he could, so they just needed to follow him. Moreover, if it was a wrong decision, why were so many real estate giants competing for this piece of land? Thus, they had full confidence in this project from the moment of bidding for the land.Sherman did not think too much about it. He purely saw this project as profitable, and Parr Group should not limit itself to the high-tech sector. It was especially refreshing to venture into other industries after staying in the high-tech sector for so long. After all, one could not stay in their comfort zone forever.He was a truly ambitious man. Though not even 30 years old y

"It's dangerous for you to be out here alone. Next time, try to avoid taking on such field investigations."Rita smiled shyly. She knew they were only looking out for her, but she believed she was capable of doing what they did and was not planning on taking their advice.She certainly felt warmer after finishing her cup of instant noodles. She moved closer to the senior reporter and asked, "Mister, this is my first time on such a task. May I know how I should go about it to ensure success?"The others looked somewhat surprised. "This is your first time? How come you don't have someone more senior accompanying you? Which media outlet are you from?""Well, they all didn't want to continue the investigation. But I didn't want to give up, so I came alone," Rita explained hesitantly.The other reporters nodded in understanding."I was just like you when I started, full of enthusiasm. I let nothing get past me and investigated every little detail. But that's all in the past. Even if y

"Ohh, but I don't think Sherman is that kind of person. Could it be that we're thinking in the wrong direction? What if Parr Group truly acquired this land through legitimate means? Wouldn't that mean our entire investigation is off track?"The reporter cast a disdainful glance at her. "You're still young, so you haven't seen the dark side of society. Maybe you think Sherman looks young and handsome, and since he's wealthy, there's no need for him to get involved in such matters. But let me tell you, it's precisely because he's wealthy that he's more likely to sweep these dirty deeds under the rug. I bet you have no idea how he got his money, yet here you are vouching for his character. As a reporter, you should remain impartial in your investigation! If you're already biased toward him, how can you possibly uncover the truth?"Rita frowned. She admitted that her few brief interactions with Sherman had led her to trust him, but that did not mean she would be biased in his favor.'If

Countless people wanted Sherman's number but could not get it. When Rita got it, all she felt was a heavy burden.Rita hesitated for a moment before speaking.Sherman picked up his phone and, upon confirming it was an unknown number, asked, "Telemarketing?"Sherman's voice sounded like he was about to hang up the next second, but Rita quickly stopped him. "Don't hang up! It's me!"Recognizing Rita's voice, Sherman chuckled with interest. He leaned back in his office chair. "Ah, Miss Rita, what brings you to call me?"Somehow, Sherman's voice through the phone made Rita's face flush. "I—I wanted to ask you something, if you don't mind...""If you're worried it might be impolite, then perhaps it's best not to ask?"Rita was anxious, afraid that he might just hang up the phone. However, Sherman had no intention of hanging up; he was simply enjoying teasing her."But this is a question I must ask," Rita insisted.Even Sherman was intrigued. He had only met Rita a few times, so wha

“Miss Rita, is there anything else you're unclear about?" Sherman asked, feeling somewhat impatient for some reason.He tugged at his tie irritably. He was not used to explaining himself, and Rita's questioning made him particularly intolerant.Initially, he had not paid much attention to the matter involving the homeless man. As the company president of Parr Group, if he had to deal with every person claiming to have lost their home on the land he was about to develop, he would not have enough hours in the day.However, Rita's questions and doubts made him feel uneasy."I'm sorry. Perhaps I shouldn't have made this call, and I shouldn't have asked you this question. I didn't mean to doubt you. I just want to find out the truth. I want to know why the homeless man is wandering here alone, claiming that...that you've ruined his life," Rita apologized hesitantly."Miss Rita, you're indeed straightforward. But sometimes, it's better to understand the truth before asking me. Just like
