Tony smirked, lounging comfortably on the sofa. The arrival of the police, along with what Oscar had just told him, seemed to mean nothing to him.Unlike the relaxed Tony, the waitress looked tense. Tony guessed this was probably the first time she had seen so many police officers at her workplace.“Mr. Tony?” she asked, surprised that Tony showed no intention of getting up from the sofa.“You said Michelle is handling them at the front, right?” Tony asked back.“Yes, sir.”“Then you don’t need to worry about anything. Michelle is an incredible woman. She can handle them without me having to intervene.”Tony’s response left the waitress confused. Just moments ago, it was Michelle who had asked her to inform Tony about the police’s arrival.Tony noticed the waitress’s confusion. He could imagine Michelle at the front of the bar, fiercely arguing with the police.But he had no intention of leaving the sofa, let alone stepping out of the VIP room.Besides, he meant what he said. He was

"Gen—"The soldier began to address Tony as "General," but Tony raised his hand.The soldier nodded in understanding."The situation outside is under control. The police have left," said the soldier."What did you just say? The police left?" Oscar demanded, his voice rising.The soldier stared at him coldly. He undoubtedly knew that Oscar was the mayor of Karnaan City, but he seemed uninterested in showing him any respect whatsoever.The soldier did not answer Oscar's question. He turned his eyes back to Tony and walked towards him."As per General Mark's orders, we informed the police who they were up against. They took the hint and left," the soldier said."Well done," Tony said, nodding. "Send my regards and thanks to General Mark. I owe him one."The soldier found Tony's words odd but knew it was part of Tony's act and that he needed to play along.He bowed respectfully, then walked towards the door.He glanced at Oscar and gave a wry smile. He exited the VIP room without another

Realizing that his raised tone had startled Hayley and her secretary, Josh immediately apologized to them. He then took the phone from his assistant’s hand."My mother is on her way up?" Josh asked the receptionist."Yes, sir," the receptionist replied. "We tried to stop her, but she insisted. There was nothing we could do because she is your mother."Josh understood the receptionist’s predicament. After all, his mother was the head of the Robertson family, which made her a respected figure at Redsphire Co."Who is with my mother?" Josh asked. His mother never visited the office alone."There’s a woman pushing her wheelchair, a man with his arm in a cast, and a beautiful woman," the receptionist answered.Josh immediately recognized the woman pushing the wheelchair as Christine, his mother’s personal attendant. The man with the cast was likely David. As for the beautiful woman, he wasn’t quite sure."Is the beautiful woman a blonde or a brunette?" Josh inquired."Blonde, sir," replied

“Tony, what are you doing here?” asked Josh.Two things confused him.First, why was Tony in his office at this hour?Second, why did Tony seem to know exactly what was happening in his workspace?“I’m here to save you, Dad,” Tony said firmly. “I’m here to thwart Uncle David’s attempt to nullify our bet.”Josh stared at Tony, his forehead creased with lines of confusion. He wanted to ask how Tony knew about this, but the question remained unspoken.One thing was certain: Josh felt the situation beginning to shift.Even though they were still outnumbered despite Tony's arrival, he no longer felt cornered or destined to lose.Tony’s presence had a bold, significant impact.“What the hell are you doing here, you rubbish?!” Tiffany snapped.Tony, who had stopped in his tracks, looked at Tiffany and saw the intense hatred in her eyes.But it meant nothing to him. Tony merely gave a slight, crooked smile.Then he looked at David. Immediately, his gaze turned sharp and fiery.Before Tony cou

Josh and Tony left the Redsphire Co. office just before nine in the evening.Tony offered to drive. He wanted to maintain the positive momentum in his relationship with his father-in-law which had been steadily improving over the past few days.“Don’t worry, Dad. We’re gonna win this. By the beginning of next month, you’ll be appointed as the new CEO of Robertson Group. We just need to secure tomorrow’s meeting with Mrs. Charlotte,” Tony said confidently, a small smile playing on his lips. Josh glanced at him and smiled back.“I can’t believe I’m saying this, but thank you for all your help and support, Tony,” Josh said. “I don’t know what’s gotten into you lately, but I’m glad you’re on my side. I appreciate that.”Tony smiled again, just a thin smile. Being openly praised by his father-in-law made him feel awkward. It was a stark contrast to the negative and destructive comments he usually received from Josh. This newfound positivity was a welcome change.Tony was grateful for Jos
