Dinner takes place in a cozy but equally solemn atmosphere. The dining table is displayed with delicate dishes and dark red wine glasses. Mr. William, sitting in the central position, continuously discussed the plan of cooperation between William Group and Brian’s Elise Group.“Brian, I think this cooperation project will bring significant benefits to both sides,” Mr. William said, his voice full of enthusiasm. “Our cooperation will create a powerful alliance in the industry.”“That’s right, Mr. William. I am also looking forward to this cooperation. However, I have a small idea to propose.” Brian smiled, lifted the glass of wine, but did not rush to drink.Mr. William nodded, signaling Brian to continue. “You said, Brian.”Brian glanced at Joseph meaningfully and turned to look at Mr. William. “I think Joseph is the right person to manage this project. The two of us have known each other for a long time, and I believe that the coordination between the two of us will be easier to disc

Joseph sat in front of the window, looking out at the sky changing in the dawn light. The first rays of the new day's sunlight crept through the door, illuminating the quiet room. In his hand, an old photo has faded with time. The image of his mother when she was young, her face was kind and gentle, smiling slightly when she was with him.Joseph caressed the photo, his fingers gently touching her face. He whispered like a monologue to himself, his voice quiet. "Mom, I miss you. When you passed away, you told me not to avenge you, and not to confront dad. I used to listen to you, but it seems like the trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop."He remembers the lonely days after his mother passed away, recalling her last words of advice. His mother had always wanted him to live a peaceful life, away from conflicts and suffering. But Mr. William, the father he always tried to respect, never wanted to pass on the inheritance to him or even nurture him or want him to be better. If

“Everything has just begun!” A devilish smile appeared on Joseph’s handsome face.After leaving Jayce’s room, Joseph walked around the company all morning. He observed everything, from working departments to small meetings taking place in glass conference rooms. Joseph took his camera with him and occasionally stopped to take a few photos, not only to entertain himself but also to record the moments and working atmosphere of William Group.Around afternoon, when Joseph was sitting in a quiet corner near the hallway, his phone rang. He looked at the screen, saw Brian’s name appear, and quickly answered.“Hi, Brian. What’s going on?” Joseph asked, his voice gentle but unable to hide his curiosity.Brian quickly got straight to the point. “Joseph, the acquisition of Anderson Group has been completed. But there’s something unexpected. Jeff Anderson wants to meet you to thank you. He also said he has a good business deal to bring you.”Joseph looked around, then moved to a quieter hallway

Mr. William nodded. His eyes could not hide his satisfaction. “You have proven your abilities. I am very proud of you, Joseph.”“If Joseph is that good, then Jayce has a lot to worry about in the future, right? I’m afraid his pile of sleeping pills must have increased.” Norman, sitting at the corner of the table, casually spoke up, his voice full of sarcasm.Jayce, sitting across from Norman, frowned and turned to look at his brother. “Norman, what are you talking about? Of course, I’m happy if Joseph is talented. That’s the joy of the whole William family.”Norman smirked, unable to hide the mockery in his voice. “Really, Jayce? Are you thrilled about that?”Joseph sat quietly observing. He felt that the relationship between Norman and Jayce was not good. Norman’s sarcastic words and Jayce’s reaction show that there is an underlying tension between them. Joseph also grasped some information about Jayce’s past, what Jayce did to maintain his position in the corporation.In Joseph’s mi

“You guys, tell them about our project.” Jeff turned to Leon and Adobe.Leon nodded, took out his phone and opened an app. He walked up to Joseph and Brian, holding up the phone for them to see. “This is our product,” Leon began, his voice filled with pride.Joseph and Brian looked at the phone screen. It’s an online gambling app. The interface is shiny and attractive. Joseph immediately understood something, but he kept silent, letting Leon and Adobe continue.“This is an online gambling app,” Leon explained, his voice filled with excitement. “This application is run by AI and controlled by real people. We designed it to trick gamblers into playing and then swallowing their money.”Adobe interjected, flashing a despicable smile. “That’s right. Our revenue has skyrocketed since launching this app. Gamblers are caught in a spiral and can’t get out.”Joseph heard them boasting about their revenue and clearly saw the cunning of the three people in front of them. He knew that he definitel
