Cecilia glanced at the time and said, "Lora, it's almost time for work. We should hurry. Else, we'll be late.""Oh, right," Lora replied, moving toward the door reluctantly."Henry, can we contact you next time?" she asked."Of course!" Henry said."If you run into any trouble, just call me.""Thank you, Henry!" Lora responded gratefully.Cecilia smiled and, feeling bolder, said, "Thank you too, Henry!" She envied Lora's familiarity with him and wanted to address him similarly.Henry was a little surprised but nodded in acknowledgment.The two women left with smiles. They were clearly in better spirits, though running a little late.As they arrived at the office, they ran into the manager, Keith Dickerson, who frowned and said, "What's going on? You two just joined the company. Yet, you're already late!""Sorry, Keith. We ran into an old acquaintance and got held up," Cecilia quickly explained.Keith was the senior who had introduced Cecilia to the company. He was in charge

Cecilia's expression slightly trembled at Keith's final warning. Even though she had only been at the company for a few days, she had already heard rumors about the Hood Group's terrifying background.The Hoods were not only one of the four prominent families in Eastonia but were also once known as the Underground Emperor.After leaving Keith's office, Cecilia immediately pulled Lora aside and told her everything. Lora was furious and refused the idea. Cecilia had expected that reaction, but she still felt it was important to inform Lora.Since Lora shared her resolve, they both decided to leave the company.However, they did not plan on informing anyone about their decision. They feared that the company might use underhanded tactics to keep them. They briefly considered asking Henry for help but ultimately decided against it.After all, that was the provincial capital, and causing a scene could provoke the Hoods. It was safer to leave quietly and keep out of sight. Given the size

Hilda had been offered some very lucrative opportunities.The headhunters reaching out to her were offering not only a 300,000 dollars signing bonus but also a much better compensation package than what she had been getting at the Miller Group. That was partly due to the recent success of Morning Dew Cosmetics and her impressive track record.However, Hilda was not interested and declined all offers."Headhunters, huh? They're already coming after you?" Henry chuckled."I didn't expect it either. I owe it all to you, Mr. Truman. Without you, I wouldn't have everything I have now," Hilda replied modestly."That's not true; it's all due to your skills."Anyway, have you decided where you want to go next?""Not yet," she said."To be honest, I feel quite sad and reluctant to leave. I've been with the Miller Group since I graduated. I've invested so much of my time and effort there.""I see. In that case, take your time finding another job. Meanwhile, I'll keep paying your previou

Although Jake was the deputy Heartless Master, everyone called him the Heartless Master—it was Kurt's demand.As Vito watched Celia's reaction, the woman finally snapped out of her daze. She recalled what Vito had said earlier and suddenly realized that the two figures before her were the powerful individuals they had been waiting for.She had insulted them, and after being slapped, she even uttered more disrespectful words.She knew how powerful the Heartless Clan was. After all, Vito had told her many times. She understood that while the Hoods were incredibly powerful in the eyes of ordinary people, they were nothing compared to the Heartless Clan. They could wipe out the Hoods with just a wave of their hands.She had been venting her frustration, thinking the guests were late, and typically, important figures made a grand entrance instead of appearing out of nowhere.Celia was not prepared for Jake and Jay's sudden appearance.Celia realized her recklessness. She quickly knelt

Jay, noticing the pitiful state of Vito and his wife, could not help but suggest softly, "Master, Vito's actions are indeed inappropriate this time, but given his years of dedication, perhaps we can give him one more chance?""Who the hell is going to give me a chance then?!" Jake's voice was cold and angry as he glared at Jay, exuding an overpowering aura and pressure.Jay's face turned pale, and his body trembled involuntarily. He had never seen Jake so furious with one of his own.Unfortunately, Jay was unaware that Cesar, who had showcased extraordinary prowess at the Holy Clan Conference, was the Master of Golden Liberty. He would have understood why Jake was so enraged if he had known.Vito was utterly stunned, his body trembling under the immense pressure. However, he was confused and believed there was no reason for Jake to be so fearful. After all, Vito once witnessed Jake defeating a Grandmaster easily.At that moment, Celia had somewhat recovered, no longer in the excru
