Marcus' words stunned the Childe family—mostly because he was right. His last sentence made Norman's face turn red out of embarrassment. If Norman were to say Marcus had lost the bet, wouldn't he be too shameless for words?"You're right." Despite his reluctance, Norman had no choice but to say, "You've won the bet. Now, I hereby declare that Vivian, aside from her duties as the vice president, will also be Childe Group's head of HR. She's fully in charge of the company's personnel!"Everyone knew Norman's words were equivalent to a decree. Vivian had officially gained control of the company's employees.This came as a surprise to Vivian. She'd already prepared herself to resign. Yet instead of that happening, she was now in charge of the company's employees!Norman and Shirley got ready to head to Phisteele Corporation for the renaming ceremony.On the other hand, Wade, Walter, and Xavier gathered at the Northfort Chamber of Commerce."Everything's ready, Wade," Xavier said. "We

Marcus returned to Childe Group. He headed straight to the security room to get the surveillance footage of the building's entrance. The footage showed Vivian had left the building alone after answering a call. While waiting for a cab, a Ford had raced toward her and skidded to a stop. A few men had gotten out and thrown a bag over her head before stuffing her into the car and leaving.There wasn't a license plate on the car, so they couldn't glean any information from it. Marcus sent the footage to Murray and commanded, "I want to know where this car went. You have five minutes."Though the text had told Marcus to be at the abandoned factory by 8:00 pm, that didn't mean the Ford had been headed there. The abductors weren't fools.Marcus sent a reply to the abductors. "I'll give you an hour to return my wife to me without a hair on her head harmed. Otherwise, you'll have hell to pay."At the same time, Vivian was bound and gagged in an underground casino in Northfort. She was cur

Woody and Ean's expressions changed when they heard Walter's words. Based on the way Walter had acted with Marcus, it was highly likely he would turn Jaden into a cripple. And they, as accomplices in abducting Vivian …"What do you mean by that, Mr. Windward? I don't think I understand you." Woody pretended to be unruffled."Don't understand me?" Walter smiled. "That's fine. You'll get it when you reach home." He left with Jaden in tow.Later, before Woody and Ean arrived home, they received a photo of Jaden sitting in a wheelchair with his limbs twisted at odd angles. Walter had personally done the job.Though there wouldn't be any official reports about this, word about Jaden's condition would get out in high society. So, Woody and Ean didn't doubt the authenticity of the photo. The fact that Walter would personally turn his son into a cripple showed how powerful Marcus' identity was.Woody returned home, feeling on tenterhooks. Sure enough, he saw his father waiting for him whi

"That's right.""Michael's family should take the most credit. The gifts should go to them!""Michael, what a great son-in-law you are."Everyone from the Childe family agreed and started to praise Michael and Yvette.Maisie also started feeling arrogant.Shirley could not help but agree. "The three presidents must have been showing respect to Michael and his family. The gifts should belong to them."Vivian was baffled because the three presidents just said the gifts were for her.Maisie, who relied on Zeke's influence, thought it was a matter of course. When she went to take the luxurious gifts. Marcus sneered and said, "All of you heard the three presidents saying the gifts are specifically for Vivian. If I told them this, what do you think they would do?"Maisie was taken aback when she heard Marcus. She quickly withdrew her hands out of fear.The other people were also stunned by Marcus' move. Wade, Xavier, and Walter did mention specifically who the gifts were for. No o

Every security guard was gathered in the security department office soon."Let me introduce him to everyone. This is Marcus Coleman. From today onward, he will be the new head of the security department." Donald took the initiative to introduce Marcus to everyone.Donald was very polite to Marcus after what Marcus did.Most of them saw Marcus driving a Maserati to work. Although Donald was being very respectful, most of the security guards were not satisfied with Marcus' appointment. All of them thought Donald was flattering Marcus because of Marcus' family background."Seriously? Why did the HR department choose a rich kid to lead us?""Exactly! Even my fist is bigger than his head. I'm afraid I might accidentally smash him."“Kid, go somewhere else to have fun. Don't cause trouble here. The security department of Phisteele Corporation isn't a place for you to loiter around."The security guards kept mocking Marcus. Their attitudes were the same as Donald's before this.Donald
