Mark seethed with anger!Were they seeking death, these slaves destined for doom?John clenched his teeth. "Mark! Who's the one living off others? Your Pentras are the ungrateful ones! We've generated so much wealth for your family, how have they treated us?"Mark's expression turned dangerous as he looked at John. Upon seeing Sylvia, however, he hastily put on a smiling face, though his words remained somewhat impolite. "Ms. Williams, you can't do this. These distributors are all part of our Pentra family!"Shall I take them back? I can make that decision myself and only take 50% of your profits!"He was truly going all out to resolve this matter!Compared to the Innova Group, the distributors held more significance. After all, the profits they made belonged to the Pentras!Upon hearing that, the five distributors panicked.Would the Innova Group hand them over? Wouldn't that be a death sentence?Sylvia hadn't even stood up yet when she grinned. "Mr. Pentra, do you own all th

"Do they think I'm just a nobody?" The words had barely left Bryce's lips when his phone rang. It was someone from the company he had arranged things with, so he quickly answered, "Make sure you keep an eye on them. Don't let them collaborate with the Innova Group, and certainly don't let the Westlake distributors slip from our grasp!"He was giving orders. But the next moment…"W-What? You've been fired?" It was quite a ludicrous question.The individuals arranged by the Pentras to control the companies and monitor the distributors' movements had been dismissed. The Pentras primarily controlled the companies from a financial standpoint, ensuring they knew exactly how much money the distributors made.Who would have thought those people would be fired?!Ultimately, the companies still belonged to the distributors, who had complied with the Pentras out of fear. However, they had now turned against the Pentras. With the Innova Group leading the charge against Mark, it felt like they

Sylvia maintained a composed expression. "You call them underhanded tactics, but are they really? Besides, we haven't manipulated them. We're simply conducting business as usual. Isn't this the structure of business in various cities?"On the contrary, I've heard a lot of negative things about the Pentras from them. Mr. Pentra, could this be true? Are they slandering you?"Bryce's expression fluctuated.Sylvia had said too much, leaving him unsure how to respond."How exactly does minding our own business concern the Pentras?" she asked.If Bryce admitted to it, wouldn't it mean acknowledging that the Pentras controlled the Westlake distributors?Finally, he slapped his thigh. "Right! You're absolutely right! The Pentras stand upright. How could there be anything negative to say about us? Slander! They're just slandering us!"Those ungrateful bastards! Without my family, would they be living so well now? Ingrates!"He advised, "Ms. Williams, Mr. Johnson, I suggest you refrain f

Outside John's company offices, a group of men in sharp suits arrived with determined strides. As they approached the reception desk, they forcefully shoved past the receptionist before a word could escape her lips."Out of the way! One more word and I'll lay you out! Don't think I won't hit a woman!"The receptionist recoiled, instinctively retreating behind the desk.Observing them heading upstairs, she hurriedly dialed John's number. "Mr. Dede, some very aggressive men are heading to your office!"Ever since John began managing finances for them, he had been granting them raises. Now, someone was causing trouble for their employer? That couldn't be allowed!If they messed with John, wouldn't their chances of getting another raise go down the drain? They might even lose their jobs. They had to secure their livelihoods!-In the office, John pondered how fortunes had changed when he received the call from the receptionist.It startled him. Although he knew the Pentras would se

As wisps of smoke curled from Martha's cigarette, she approached. Taking a seat, she cast a disdainful glance at her father and brother before saying, "Underestimating the Innova Group and sending those small fries over there? Isn't that just asking for trouble?"They've already handled the Rockwoods. Can't they deal with these small-timers? Unbelievable."Martha's expression oozed sarcasm while looking at Bryce and Mark. "You don't seriously think a few minor players can match up to the Rockwoods, do you?"Bryce's face turned ashen. Was his own daughter reprimanding him?Tapping her cigarette into the ashtray, Martha continued. "Let me handle this. I'll take a few men and bring all those distributors' families to our place. I don't believe they won't yield then!"She was ready to act! Why bother reasoning with them when threatening their families would do?"Hold on!" Bryce interjected hastily, "Are you afraid our family isn't dying fast enough? It's only been a few days since th
