Chapter 51

When Matthias and his family arrived home, Leona took Danielle to wash up, and Alpha quietly approached Matthias."Hey, should I go deal with Caleb tonight?" Alpha whispered as he made a slicing motion across his throat."Nah. He's just a small fry. I've already warned him once. If he doesn't get the message, I won't spare him next time," Matthias replied calmly.He was mainly concerned about Leona getting upset if she found out.Besides, dealing with someone as insignificant as Caleb was a waste of time and effort."Understood." Alpha nodded and began to turn away.After taking a few steps, he hesitated and asked uncertainly, "By the way, can I record you singing tomorrow? It'll be your first time singing, and I want to remember it."Matthias looked at Alpha, exasperated.Was that guy serious?He could not believe how simple-minded Alpha was, getting bolder just because Matthias had been in a good mood recently."Alpha, how's the task I assigned you going? I haven't heard an

Matthias tried to comfort Leona, feeling a pang of sympathy for her.Leona rolled her eyes and ignored Matthias. Instead, she focused on the company profile for her next interview.Wealthtrack Financial Corporation was a listed company, and its modern and stylish office building was located in the heart of Havenwood's commercial district.Despite being established less than five years ago, it had already made a name for itself in Havenwood's financial scene.It was a promising and powerful newcomer.Leona's interest was piqued, as the company was precisely what she was looking for. She quickly submitted her application and waited in the corridor for her interview while Matthias stayed outside the company.Just as Leona prepared for her interview, a woman dressed in business attire walked by.The woman glanced at Leona and stopped, asking, "Aren't you...Leona Whitney?"Leona looked up and immediately recognized the woman as Blair Anderson, a college roommate.Though meeting a f

Blair scoffed. "Stop being so pretentious. Anyway, our company doesn't hire people with a questionable background like yours!"Blair rolled her eyes at Leona, not bothering to hide her disdain. Then, she snatched Leona's resume."You have no work experience, but you're still trying to apply here? We have very high standards. We don't just let random people work here!"Leona's face flushed with embarrassment.She wanted to turn and leave but forced herself to stay. The company's prospects matched her career goals, and she could not afford to walk away just yet."Ms. Leona Whitney, please come in for your interview!" A voice called out, announcing her turn.Leona breathed a sigh of relief and quickly gathered her resume before heading into the conference room. She felt grateful to the staff member who had called her name.Inside the conference room were three interviewers—two men and one woman.A chubby, middle-aged man who appeared to be a senior executive sat in the center.Wh

Even though Leona was happy, she remained modest, and the encounter with Blair was already a distant memory."I'm sure you can handle it well," Matthias said with a smile.He was already planning a surprise for Leona. Since she found a job, it might be nice to get her a car to make her commute easier.However, he decided to keep that plan a secret and surprise her later.Meanwhile, in Joseph's office.Joseph was holding Blair in his arms, his hand exploring her body inappropriately.Blair was struggling to hide her disgust while feigning pleasure, occasionally letting out a soft moan.On the surface, Blair appeared to be living the dream—earning a six-figure salary, owning a house and a car, and serving as a sales manager at Wealthtrack Financial Corporation.Her friends envied her success and viewed her as a female empowerment and success symbol.Yet, Blair knew the truth.Her status was largely due to Joseph, the vice CEO and a member of the influential Griffin family in Ha

Three seconds later, Joseph was drenched in sweat and looking both euphoric and exhausted as he leaned back in his chair.Blair rose, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and glanced at Joseph briefly in disgust before quickly turning away to avoid being seen."Joseph, can I ask a favor? Once Leona starts tomorrow, can you arrange for her to be placed under my supervision? This way, I can help you make her submit to you sooner," Blair said cautiously, her mind plotting.If Leona worked under her, she could make her life difficult.Whether she would eventually pass Leona off to Joseph would depend on her mood.Blair's ideal scenario was to force Leona to resign, exacting revenge for their past rivalry and preventing Leona from getting Joseph's attention.Joseph's eyes snapped open, and he exclaimed, "Yes, of course! I'll leave it to you. You two were roommates, so you should have a good relationship. Once you help me get her, I'll promote and give you a raise!"As Joseph spoke, his min

Victor sat on the bed, still naked.He trembled with fear as he remembered the phone call, and putting on clothes was the last thing on his mind.His superior was already an influential figure—someone whose word could determine his fate. Victor had thought no one could surpass his superior. Yet, the call had revealed that there was someone even higher up.What truly unsettled Victor was the message from the caller.That powerful figure was in Havenwood, and Victor would meet him soon!The seriousness of that situation was almost too much for Victor to handle.It was too shocking!Victor could not help but wonder what kind of person that major figure could be.While his mind raced with guesses, he knew it was not the time to ponder the connections between himself and this mysterious individual.All he knew was that he was about to meet someone immensely influential.Snapping back to reality, Victor quickly dressed, recalling the numerous instructions from the phone call.It w

Soon, a sleek black car pulled up in front of Victor and his group.Victor felt a lump in his throat. He clenched his fists tightly, trying to keep his mind clear.Alpha stepped out of the car and glanced at the men present.His tone was indifferent as he asked, "Victor Veltroni? The top man in Havenwood?"Victor instantly dropped to his knees.He was too afraid to even look at Alpha, shouting, "Welcome, Mr. A!"Victor's aides quickly followed suit, all kneeling with expressions of shock on their faces.Meanwhile, Matthias was unaware of Alpha's actions.After Leona finished work, they went to pick up Danielle from kindergarten. However, Leona had been unusually quiet since getting off work and even seemed troubled.No matter how much Matthias asked, Leona remained tight-lipped.That night, Matthias called Alpha after Leona and Danielle went to bed."Find out what happened to Leona at work today. Did someone cause her trouble?"Alpha was about to sleep but immediately jumpe

Mending his relationship with Leona had not been easy, and Matthias did not want such an insignificant matter to ruin it.He thought about it and ordered Alpha, "Tomorrow, go ahead and..."The next day, at Wealthtrack Financial Corporation's sales department.Blair arrived early at the office, surrounded by several employees who were close to her."Ms. Anderson, did Leona offend you or something? You set her an impossible sales target of 1.5 million dollars for the month. "She's just a newbie—no way she can hit that target, no matter how hard she tries."A fashionably dressed woman flattered Blair with a fawning tone."Even if she hasn't crossed Ms. Anderson, her word is law in our sales department. If Leona can't meet the target, she should just leave!"Someone else chimed in, and the group continued to shower Blair with praise.Blair's eyes gleamed with satisfaction as she spoke casually, "Well, Leona and I were college roommates. She had a bad reputation and always hung ou

With the contract in her hand, Blair adjusted her appearance as she followed the salesperson to the meeting room.Inside, a middle-aged man sat nervously, reflecting on the phone call he had received the previous night.His superior, Victor, had instructed him to deposit 15 million dollars into the account of a salesperson named Leona Whitney at Wealthtrack Financial Corporation.He had been warned to act normal and not raise any suspicion, or his safety would be at risk!As he thought about that, the man grew more anxious.The mysterious salesperson must be from a high-ranking family whose status far exceeded his own.As she entered the room, Blair greeted the man respectfully, "Good morning, sir. I'm Blair Anderson, Wealthtrack Financial Corporation's sales department manager. Are you here to invest 15 million dollars with us?"Ernie Passey was so anxious that he did not catch Blair introducing herself, only hearing the later part of her sentence.He immediately stood up, his

The surrounding colleagues voiced their disapproval, and Blair's face grew darker.She glared at Ernie with contempt as she insulted him, "I almost fell for your acting, thinking you're an important client. Sir, do you want to leave on your own, or should I call security to escort you out?"Ernie slapped Blair across the face.Victor had instructed him to be careful around Leona, but that did not mean he had to tolerate disrespect from anyone else."Get out! If we weren't in Wealthtrack right now, you'd be long dead!" Ernie cursed, his disgust evident.Blair was stunned, holding her face in shock.Did he just hit her?"You bastard! How dare you slap me? You're just a hired actor! You must be looking for trouble!" Blair lashed out.She grabbed the contract and aimed to throw it at Ernie."Go ahead! I'll make sure you regret it!" Ernie's gaze was murderous as he stared Blair down.She hesitated, realizing that if she fought him, she would be outmatched by his physical strength.
