"Jaxon?" "Mmm?" Both of them said simultaneously, their voices laced with a mix of surprise and curiosity.Who was it, if not Drew, the first person Jaxon had embarrassed when he had wanted to show off his wealth before him? Standing beside him was a lady in heavy makeup and a thick smell of perfume that made Jaxon almost puke. The woman's presence seemed to amplify Drew's arrogance, and Jaxon's eyes narrowed slightly as he took in the scene before him."What the hell is a useless man like you doing here?" Drew sneered with disdain, looking down on Jaxon, who was still sitting down, his expression calm and collected."What does it have to do with you?" Jaxon asked back, his voice laced with a hint of indifference, his eyes never leaving Drew's face."Of course, it has everything to do with me," Drew replied, his voice dripping with smugness. "You made me lose most of my business, but guess who now works in a company that earns over a billion? Me! And guess what? I am the personal s

"Yes, it is indeed deserving. The boss can go through them if he doesn't believe me." She replied, her voice barely calm.In truth, it wasn't just Drew's credentials that had earned him the position of secretary. Li Xiao had a secret, one that she kept hidden behind her professional demeanor. She and Drew had a intimate relationship, and she had given him the position so they could secretly meet in the office and have a bit of fun before continuing work. The thought sent a blush to her cheeks as she wondered how she could delete the videos in the camera before Jaxon saw them.'I better make sure the boss doesn't know about this, least it brings issue to me.' she thought inwardly.Jaxon wasn't aware of the Manager's thoughts as he kept asking her questions about the business and how it operates, finally, he asked for the contract, which the manager promptly brought to him. After he signed it, he stood up and straightened his clothes before saying, "I will be going back. You have my pho

"But mom! That food is more than enough for us all!" she protested, her voice rising in frustration. "Can't you see he's tired too?!"Henry, ever the yes-man, chimed in, "No, Diana! This food wouldn't be enough for us! Unlike you city folks who eat like birds, we from the small town have hearty appetites and this wouldn't do! Your mom is right! Let him cook!"Hearing those words, Diana's face flushed with anger, her patience finally wearing thin. "Fine! Eat my share! Jaxon, I will join you in the kitchen and help you cook!" she declared, her voice firm and resolute, as she turned to stand by Jaxon, her eyes flashing with defiance.Before Jaxon could respond, Diana dragged him along as they both passed by Weiwei and the mother and son duo, who were sitting down and devouring chunks of meat, drinks, and food like ravenous dogs that hadn't seen food in weeks. Diana couldn't help but cast them a subtle look of disgust at their uncouth eating habits.Just as Jaxon and Diana were about to e

"... You will still love me? Even after how I and my mom treated you?" She asked, filled with disbelief. "You have changed, you now stand by me, and that is what matters." Jaxon replied. Hearing those words, Diana felt like Jaxon was shining at that moment, she felt like he was a tall pillar, a pillar she could lean on, and subconsciously, she leaned on him as her head moved towards his head, her lips a mere inch away from his, she could feel his warm, gentle breath on her face, and just then, she subconsciously perk him on the lip. Jaxon felt a shiver down his spine as he watched Diana perk him, even though it was just a light perk on the lip, it still left him feeling shocked and at the same time, happy. Subconsciously, he lifted his hand and touched his lip, reminiscing on the perk, subconsciously he let out, "that was my first kiss..." Hearing his words, Diana's face turned red as she quickly stormed into his bathroom out of shyness and shut the door, leaving Jaxon, who was

Foolishly, he went outside to make a call and told the man about what Jaxon had. The man promised he would help in getting them what he needed before killing Jaxon. Excited, Henry ended the call and immediately called another person again, telling him the same thing. The other person asked if he was sure, and when Henry replied he was certain, the other person readily agreed and even promised to mobilize all his men and hide at the side of the road, waiting for Jaxon. Excited, Henry ended the call and told his mother everything was settled. With that, the both of them went to their room to sleep, with Henry dreaming of his bright future with a big house filled with harems.****The next day, early in the morning, after some martial arts exercises, Jaxon took his bath and headed to the kitchen to quickly prepare some food. Following that, Diana came down from her room, all dressed and ready for work. "Good morning, darling." Jaxon greeted her with a smile on his face, the event that
