"Them again," Joe growled, silently crumpling the paper inside the box, the paper containing the crest of the most famous and mysterious family in the country. "Sir? Are you all right?" Cristine asked, afraid she had made a mistake, especially when she saw the boss's angry expression. "No, I'm not. Let's get out of here," Joe said. Hurrying, he walked ahead of Cristine and got into the car parked neatly in front of the restaurant. While waiting for his secretary, who had been left behind, he looked back at the wad of paper still in his hand. "What else do you want, huh? Aren't you satisfied with destroying me yet?" he scolded."Hurry up, Cristine!" called Joe, half shouting as his secretary was still far behind. "Sorry, sir." Cristine bowed her head slightly before getting into the car. "Someone stopped me while catching up with you, so I'm quite far behind," she explained. "Hmm," Joe responded flatly.They left the restaurant, heading to SkyLand Company to continue their pending

"You? What do you want exactly?" asked Joe while suppressing every sentence that came out of his lips. He wanted so badly to yell at his grandfather, but he didn't want Jesslyn to worry, or even panic because she didn't know anything about his problems with Kevin. "What for? To see my grandson's wife, of course. You're so mean not to tell your grandfather, Joe, when the house you're using is so close to mine." Kevin's words sounded desperate and disappointed, and Joe knew that his grandfather was trying to win Jesslyn over by acting like a helpless old man. "Jess, can I talk to you for a minute? Just the two of you," Joe cut in. Jesslyn who heard it was of course confused, she gave Kevin a glance, then asked permission from her husband's grandfather to go into the room for a while. "What's wrong?" asked Jesslyn after closing the door to her room. "Explain to me, how did that old man get into the house? And why did you let him in?" asked Joe."I didn't let him in when he first kn

"I'm sorry, Joe. But I can't let the company go to you because the Seattle Group will falter now that someone else has taken over one of its strongest pillars," Lucas explained. "In other words, with SkyLand Company's ownership transferring to you in its entirety, Seattle Group's balance will be disrupted, and I don't want to take the risk of you cutting off the cooperation between our companies in the future." Hearing Lucas's explanation, which sounded very reasonable, Joe could only exhale his breath roughly. His mind was split, and honestly, he felt very disappointed that his hope of owning SkyLand Company could not run smoothly. "I honestly don't know what to do now, Lucas. I'm sure Kevin Bouguler wouldn't just show up out of nowhere. He must want something from me, so I must have a firm grip to face his attacks, and the only way I can think of is to take over SkyLand Company," Joe said."If you want a strong grip and a head start, you don't need to take over this company, Joe.

Joe pounded his desk loudly. One problem was unfinished, and now it had to be added to another. "What is the reason Mr. Bristone canceled the purchase? Didn't he really like the property we built? He even plans to become an official investor of SkyLand Company. So, how could he just cancel the purchase?" Joe bombarded Cristine with many questions. His mind was getting frantic. If it had only been Mr. Bristone who had canceled the purchase, Joe would not have been this panicked and upset. As someone who has been in the business world for a long time, Joe certainly knows that the decision made by a big businessman can make other businessmen make the same decision. And look at it now, it's all proven by the withdrawal of several prospective buyers, even buyers who have already paid a down payment also canceled their purchase. "I don't know either, sir. Mr. Bristone's secretary contacted me and said that her boss canceled the purchase. When I asked her why, she immediately hung up." C

"What did you do to my mom, huh?" Jesslyn said back, her eyes loyally staring at Noona, who was still trying to pull Rosetta away from her. "You guys don't need to interfere! Mom and I have to go home soon because we still have work to do," Noona replied, making an excuse. With a single jerk, Noona pulled Rosetta's hand so hard that Jesslyn was forced to release her grip on her mother's hand so that her mother wouldn't feel any pain. "Come on, Mom, let's go home. If we're late, we'll get fired," Noona gave a sharp look at her mother-in-law, then gave the middle-aged woman the code to avoid any drama that could make them the center of attention again. "But-" Rosetta wanted to deny; there was something she wanted to talk to Jesslyn about, and she found an excellent opportunity a few minutes ago because she thought Noona wouldn't be able to see her quickly, especially since her daughter-in-law was busy having fun on the rides at the fairgrounds."Mom!" Noona raised her tone of voice
