After concluding her conversation with Jonah, Allison swiftly terminated the call. Although her lingering frustration was apparent, she found solace in the knowledge that the project had been returned to her. It was a relief to regain control, considering the alternative of not getting anything at all.Meanwhile, Jonah huffed coldly at the phone in his hand, feeling slighted by Allison’s abrupt disconnection. “She has become so arrogant that she dares to hang up on me. One day, I’ll make sure she's driven out of the company.”On the other side of town, Sean arrived at the address his father had provided him. It led him to a club called The Rave, which, being early in the day, was not yet bustling with activity.As he entered, Sean's phone began to ring, and he reluctantly checked the caller ID to find it was Hermione. Letting out a groan, he answered the call with little choice. "Why the hell are you disturbing me? I'm busy!" he exclaimed in a hushed tone.Hermione's voice carried fru

Jim Anderson's phone rang after his outburst, interrupting his train of thought. He grunted and retrieved his phone, noticing that it was General Manager Carter's secretary on the line. After answering the call, the secretary's voice came through. "Manager Anderson, General Manager Carter wants to see you in his office," she revealed before abruptly ending the call.Jim's brow furrowed, and he couldn't help but wonder about the connection between Jace heading to the general manager's office and the fact that he was also being summoned. The timing seemed too deliberate to be mere coincidence. What could possibly be happening?Could it be that General Manager Carter shared the same concerns about Jace's performance in such a short time and wanted him fired too?But Jace had been performing admirably, Jim had to admit. He had been diligent in his duties, so that couldn't be the reason.Various thoughts raced through Jim's mind as he ascended to the second floor and spotted Jonah exiting

“God, look at this joker! Who are you trying to fool here, huh? Dylan Clifford, once known as the banished son of the Cliffords and the useless son-in-law of the Harpers, you dare to tell me that you're Mr. Ashford, the new shareholder, are you kidding me?!”Jonah burst into laughter upon hearing Dylan’s statement, finding it absolutely hilarious.Everyone knows how messed up Dylan was.

Dylan and Leonard observed the lively activities inside the bar from their seats. The thumping club beats, the dazzling disco lights, and the dancing crowd made it evident that Reality Bar was a bustling place.Dylan couldn't help but be captivated by the scene and shouted, "Why haven't I heard of this bar?!" His eyes were fixed on the girls dancing, wearing a smirk on his face.Leonard tried to bring him back to focus amidst the loud noise. "Dylan, pay attention! Do you see what's happening here?!" he yelled back, their communication limited to shouting due to the bar's noise.Dylan acknowledged Leonard's observation and scanned the scene. Numerous attendees were purchasing packaged white substances, and Rose and James seemed to be part of the drug dealers."You were right! There's definitely something going on here, and we need to investigate," Dylan asserted, his narrowed eyes locked on James.James' presence bothered him the most, fueling his curiosity. It was unsettling to see hi

Madame Beth stared at Allison's new car in awe, shaking her head in disbelief. "No. This has to be a joke, Allison. You're trying to make me think differently about Dylan, I know that. You were promoted to director of sales, right? Now, you’ve used enough money to buy yourself an expensive car."In annoyance, Allison rolled her eyes and addressed her mother, "Seriously, Mom, what more do I have to say for you to believe me? And besides, I only just found out today that I was promoted to director of sales. Dylan bought this for me today, and it was surprising."Confusion and frustration etched on her face, Madame Beth looked at Allison and frowned, "I refuse to believe this. That guy is trying to make a fool out of you, and out of every one of us. If he was the one who gave you this car, that means he probably stole it. Do you know the shame I will receive if that bastard becomes my son-in-law? Do you even care about me, Allison?! I don't think you do, and I've never been disappointed
