It was at this point that Jonathan spoke up. "Cancel the contract with the Summon store and apologize to me. If you can do that, I won't pursue this matter further, nor will I report it to Orchid's headquarters." Alyssa responded instantly without hesitation. She had given this matter much thought. "Miss Steven's request is indeed very reasonable." Jonathan nodded in agreement. Upon hearing this, Gregory shot Jonathan a displeased look. He had brought Jonathan to help resolve the situation, not to make matters worse. If it were possible to cancel the contract so quickly, would he have fretted over it so much? Gregory desperately signaled Jonathan with his eyes, indicating that he should disagree so readily. If he agreed to something that couldn't be done and then had to backtrack, it would only exacerbate the situation. "If you agree with my request, then Director Miller should quickly address it. As long as you can do it, I won't press charges." Alyssa was somewhat surprised th

If Derek had spotted Jonathan, there was no reason Jonathan wouldn't have seen Derek. But his emotions were far more composed. Since he had come to New York, it was only a matter of time before he'd run into Derek. It was hardly surprising. Returning to the warehouse, Jonathan began to pack up. Upon hearing that Jonathan was soon to become the deputy director of the sales department, everyone in the warehouse was both envious and full of admiration. This leap was equivalent to jumping over Dhara's head! Everyone half-heartedly asked Jonathan for a treat, but he casually promised to arrange it another day. That night, there would undoubtedly be someone to dine with him. As Jonathan had anticipated, by the time work ended in the evening, he was intercepted as soon as he stepped out of the office. It was Derek! Their eyes met in mutual unfamiliarity. Derek drove his Lamborghini, escorting Jonathan away from there. Before long, they arrived at a high-end restaurant in a relativel

"Miss Gladys, please don't misunderstand. This is not our intent but rather the head offices. After all, we're a large company and must tread carefully in all affairs. Naturally, we present two alternatives for you to choose from. Suppose Miss Gladys dislikes the plan I've just explained. In that case, she is entirely free to choose the initial contract with no additional conditions," Jonathan interposed, tactfully creating a buffer before reluctantly continuing, "Just that..." "What is it?" Everyone harbors a sense of curiosity; even a star like Gladys is no exception, she immediately retorted. Jonathan paused for a few seconds before seeming sheepish, "Miss Gladys, as you're aware, large corporations are all about protocols, and I'm sure you're well aware of how Orchid operates. If Miss Gladys agrees to endorse our products, it indicates your trust in them, and surely you wouldn't want to harm your fans." "We chose Miss Gladys and no one else for this product promotion live strea

Once they were seated, Augustus, with his eyes full of curiosity, looked at Jonathan: "I heard that you gave up your position to Zachary not long after I left the Southwest and then disappeared. I thought you had gone to New York, and I was right." "But Jonathan, I am inquisitive. Why did you abandon your position as the heir of the Top-Sky House and flee to New York?" In the Southwest, Jonathan had the power to control everything. However, without the backing of the Top-Sky House, he would have no foundation in New York. Furthermore, Jonathan could no longer fight after that fight, making him just an ordinary man. "That's personal. Oh, what about Bellamy looking for me?" Jonathan skillfully dodged the personal question and asked about the more critical matter. "Bellamy doesn't have much guts or intelligence. His only redeeming quality is his sincere affection for Carnelian." "I asked Bellamy. Carnelian wanted him to misunderstand that she likes you while her engagement to Derek

Particular respiratory care unit.The special care units of New York's hospitals were designed solely to serve affluent families.As Carnelian stepped into the special care unit, her demeanor differed entirely from the domineering woman she had been earlier. From a distance, she said in a timid voice, "Grandpa, do you feel any better? The hospital isn't as comfortable as home, is it?"In the hospital room was a middle-aged woman who could be identified as a housekeeper by her stern appearance and attire.The older man lying in bed, with his hair and beard already gray and somewhat overweight, was someone Jonathan had heard about but never met.Everyone in the country knew of him.The seven-star general, Leonard Kyle!He was the highest-ranked general and the New York military district commander in charge of maintaining order in the area.His prestigious position hinted at his past power and influence.Without such a grandfather, it's uncertain whether Carnelian would have had the priv
