Irene heard that her friends had come to the restaurant and made her way over to them and greeted them.Jessica was quick to ask, “Why are all the prices of the dishes so damn high?”“Haha, this is a five-star hotel, Jess. What else did you expect?” Irene chortled. “The thing is… I will pay for both of you. Consider this as my treat!”“Y-You will?” Jessica was surprised.“Yeah,” Irene confidently said. “You two are responsible for me getting this job, and I haven’t given you a party yet, so I’ll be paying for this meal. Just leave it to me.”“Are you sure?” Russell asked her.“Huh, of course I’m sure,” Irene didn’t think twice.“But your dad might be angry if you pay for our meals,” Jessica stated.“He can cry if he wants,” Irene snorted. “I’m a capable manager, but I’m also a strong, independent woman now. I’m not going to stop my dad from making me spend a bit of money on my friends!”Just then, the waiter arrived with the receipt.“Eh? The bill is already paid?” Irene quickly snatc

Jessica was super-busy, dealing with the files that were on her desk and also on the floor. There were over 300 files that she needed to look at, and more files were being brought once every few minutes. “I thought someone else would have filled my position temporarily. This is going to take me a few days to finish,” Jessica was already feeling wrist pain from turning the pages so much. Just then, Marlon entered the room with a smile on his face. He stood a few feet away by her desk, leaning into the wall with his arms crossed. “I heard you got injured. Are you feeling okay now?” “Yes, Mr. Marlon,” Jessica briefly looked at him and then went back to focusing on the work. “I also heard… you didn’t even take your salary yet,” Marlon pointed out. “Hasn’t it been well over a month since you joined this place? Why didn’t you take your salary then?” “It’s not that I didn’t take any. Mr. Regan wanted to pay me in advance, but I only took a little bit of money and wanted to keep the rest

Russell thanked Tom as he was leaving with his mom. “I’ll forever remember your kindness, Teacher. If you need anything, just don’t forget that I’m there.” He had given both his number and his mother’s number. On top of that, Tom also had Nora and Jessica’s numbers, so he believed that if Tom ever got in trouble, he’d contact him. “Be careful with your son.”Tom smiled. “I’m going to leave this house once Max recovers his strength.” Tom would have left the house that day itself if Max was in good health. Because Tom was planning to roam around with Max, it would be inevitable for Max to fight some street dogs along the way, so going out when Max still hadn’t fully recovered from the gunshot wound would be nothing less than a suicide mission. “I’ll put a board at the door, telling my son goodbye and for him to have this house. I’ll prepare documents and a will, so I doubt he’ll still come after me.”Russell’s mouth turned down a little. Was there really a reason for Tom who was nearing

“Is that the guy?” the professional boxer, Gunner, was watching through binoculars while sitting in the car. “Other than the face, he doesn’t look like much.”“Well, my stupid friends thought the same,” Karensa blurted angrily. “Now, they’re in the hospital with broken limbs. I hope you won’t disappoint me like them.”“You can count on me, Karen,” he said, making her glare at him, “I mean, Karensa.”“I wouldn’t have let a loser like you sit in my car if not for my friends being scared of fighting that man,” Karensa growled madly. “If you call me by anything other than my name, I swear, you’ll lose your tongue.”Gunner’s expression hardened. (This innate slut… if only I didn’t need her uncle’s sponsorship, I wouldn’t be doing this bullshit.) “You called me a loser, didn’t you? I know why you said that. My two-year-old wife stole millions of dollars from me, even though I wrote a prenup with her. She told the lawyers that I coerced her into signing the document, and that filthy, charact

If someone stepped on his toes, Magnus would have made them bleed from their ears just from his scolding. However, right now he could only bear the pain through his screams. After all, he didn’t want to scold Kyra, at least not in front of her dad because Liam had helped Magnus in the past. When a billionaire tried to kill him for talking bad about his products, it was Liam who shielded him and gave him monetary support for his research. This later helped Liam in building quality electric products as well, which led to the steady increase of Lynn Enterprises’ fame and the people’s trust.Kyra apologized to Magnus before leaving the building with her dad.“I’m not sure why you really want to fight the federal government,” Kyra opened up her mind. “They are the guys that print money, Dad. They have power over every nation. They are too big for us to fight them by ourselves. Otherwise, why would the Heller family or the Conreid family not back us?”Liam smiled. “Do you hate that I raised
