While Jan stood in shock, a waiter emerged from Juice Cafeteria, carrying a signboard which he placed at the entrance.The crowd of onlookers quickly gathered to see what it was about."It's this week's program lineup for Juice Cafeteria!""Taylor Swift is performing tonight! Tomorrow's show features a singing performance, and the day after tomorrow, there will be a live band performance..."Jammi, visibly excited, exclaimed, "Mr. Brandon, the owner of Juice Cafeteria, is incredibly generous. He's invited the most popular singer around!"Jan, who preferred old-school R&B over mainstream pop, glanced at Jammi with a cynical expression. He remarked disdainfully, "They're just some amateur singer. There's no need to bother. I can guarantee that Juice Cafeteria will fold within a week!"******Two hours later, Tony, having just risen from bed, held a beautiful Tiffany ring box with elation. Inside was an extravagant diamond ring, a significant investment he had made.Determined to propose

As they approached room 307, a middle-aged man, appearing to be around 40 years old, walked towards them with a friendly demeanor."Good evening, Miss Walport! What a pleasant surprise!" he exclaimed, clearly recognizing Clara.Clara, equally surprised, responded, "Mr. Denise, what a coincidence! Are you here for dinner as well? I recall you usually prefer dining at Sunny Restaurant."Clara was familiar with Mr. Denise, a close friend of Jan, and someone who frequently dined at Jan's establishment.Mr. Denise chuckled and explained, "Yes, well, my son insisted on attending a Taylor Swift concert tonight, so here we are."Clara smiled, observing that many of the patrons tonight seemed to have been persuaded by their children to dine here.She reasoned that most teenagers and young adults who enjoyed Taylor Swift's music likely couldn't afford to book a private room or dinner at such an upscale restaurant. Moreover, it had become quite common for parents to indulge their children's requ

"Excuse me?"Tony and Maya were both taken aback by the revelation.Clara and Sarah, standing behind Ethan, couldn't contain their laughter.Tony, with a mocking tone, said, "Really? You're claiming to be the owner of Juice Cafeteria? Stop the charade. I've already looked into it. This isn't the only establishment Mr. Stevie Brandon sold. All his restaurants in Los Angeles were purchased by the same individual for 10 million dollars! You're just a man without means. Can you truly afford 10 million dollars?"Maya, despite knowing Ethan's determination to outmaneuver Jan, was skeptical about him having such a substantial amount of money.Ethan, sensing the disbelief, retorted, "You don't believe me, do you?"Ethan had reached his limit with the condescending and arrogant attitudes of these wealthy scions who enjoyed belittling others. He called over the middle-aged woman who was sweeping the floor. "Ma'am, could you come here for a moment, please?"The middle-aged woman approached as in

Clara took a bold guess, leaning forward slightly. "Mr. Sinclair, are you hoping Maya Reynolds will marry Tony West so you can later tell them you're the president of Walt Disney Corporation and make Maya regret it when it's too late?"Ethan stopped mid-sip, his glass hovering in the air, and looked at Clara in surprise, his eyes widening.Clara had guessed Ethan's plan, and she could see the recognition in his eyes.Ethan nodded with satisfaction, a small smile playing on his lips. "Very smart of you! You truly deserve to be my vice president."Clara's face lit up with excitement. "Did I guess right?"Ethan shook his head, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Not exactly. I'm going to do it on their wedding day, not after.""I plan to reveal to Maya on her wedding day that the man she believes to be the wealthiest she could ever marry is not the true tycoon—I am.""On that day, I won't just let Maya Reynolds discover the truth. I will also announce to the entire business community in Los

If the food served at a restaurant resulted in fatal food poisoning, the restaurant's business would undoubtedly face severe repercussions. News of the incident spread rapidly, particularly as over a hundred people were hospitalized simultaneously. The reputation of Sunny Restaurant was irrevocably damaged. In a short span, the restaurant lost its entire customer base, and Jan's efforts to use public relations to promote the restaurant proved futile.Sunny Restaurant was Jan's most renowned establishment in Los Angeles. With its downfall, addressing the remaining restaurants would become significantly easier. Initially, Ethan had no intention of resorting to such unethical tactics and preferred to confront Jan through legitimate methods.For instance, he could hire renowned singers to perform at the restaurant daily and replace the head chefs at Juice Cafeteria with world-class culinary experts. He had the financial capacity to make such significant investments and could outmaneuve
