When Lola heard these words from her husband, she stared at him with incredulity before she broke out into laughter. “You? Help me? You’re joking, right?”Miles shook his head with a soft smile still on his face. He was aware that Lola was openly mocking him but he played the fool still. “Of course, I believe I can help you with any problem that you have at work.” He stood in front of the woman, which made them pause their walk. “Lola, I’ve been meaning to have this conversation with you for a while now. I wonder why you barely let me in on all your struggles at work. You might be surprised by how much help I can provide.”Lola covered her mouth as she let out a ‘pfft’. “How am I supposed to believe you, Miles? You didn’t even make the cut when you applied for an office job at the company. Your performance must have been so bad that they could only offer you the post of a gatekeeper. Plus, you only got that job because you are married to me.”Miles sighed as he gently patted Lola on t

The shop owner, Theo Good, had accepted his faith. He was an archeologist in his youth who used to work with a big archeology company. Throughout his life, he had seen various items and treasures that he had appraised well and he had been commended for them. Unfortunately, he quit working with the company due to various conflicts arising as the year went by. Also, he was getting older and wanted to live life according to his desires. Thus, after leaving the archeology company, he opened this shop where he would sell items that he occasionally found whenever he was on private excavations with his acquaintances in the archeology circle. So even though he wasn’t working at the archeology company anymore due to his old age, he was still very much involved in the profession of appraising items. In reality, Theo Good didn’t pay a dime when he got that box from one of his excavations. On that trip with his acquaintances, he had been struck with bad luck and almost didn’t find any item worth

Miles wanted Theo Good to hear him as he was making the call. This retired archeologist had decided to cheat him out of the goods he had bought fair and square. He didn’t care that the classy-dressed customer wanted to pay $100,000 for it. The fact still remained that it was now rightfully his.Theo Good scoffed. “What exactly is this? Do you think you can call over your pals to come cosplay as some big shot to scare me? Fine, bring it on, young man! I’ll wait and see what show you can afford to entertain me with today. Just know that you are still going to end up in prison; I promise to make that your reality.”Miles simply smiled at this old man. This was the reason why he wanted his wife and daughter out of the shop. The person he had called just now was Alan Butch – one of the three big bosses of the underground world in this city.There were three underground kings who ruled together, maintaining and controlling the channels that had been established to do all sorts of businesses

The three big bosses of the underground world were currently bowing before Miles, and the few customers in the antique shop couldn’t believe it.Miles took a good look at the three big bosses before nodding his head in approval. “You weren’t late, so don’t worry about it. Get up.”“Yes, Sir Miles!” The three men chorused before rising to their feet. Alan took a step forward. “Boss Miles, please, tell us why you’ve called us here.”Theo Good was still shaken by the fact that he had just witnessed the three most fearsome men he knew bowing down to the man he had threatened. Fear gripped him to the point where he was sweating profusely as Miles informed the big bosses what had happened between him and Theo Good.The classy-looking customer had slowly taken a few steps back, making sure that he wasn’t mistaken as an affiliate of the antique shop owner.Once Miles had explained everything to the big bosses, the three men turned around to glare heatedly at the older man.“Wait, wait! Please

Lesley’s eyes suddenly widened and she grabbed Lucas’s arm lovingly. “It has to be Lucas and his father’s doing! There’s no one else as capable as them! After all, he did help my mom to bag her contract with Eckre Empire Headquarters as well!”Miles could only shake his head in astonishment as he waited to hear Lucas’s reply to this.Lucas Jerald was a little bit nervous as he glanced down at his girlfriend before shifting his gaze to the people around him. He knew very well that the contract that Eckre Empire Headquarters had granted Bygone Corporation through Fiona Blaine was not his father’s doing, and yet, he had swiftly claimed a glory that was not his on purpose.Now that his girlfriend and her family were asking him once again, he wouldn’t dare come clean now; it would be far too humiliating.Therefore, Lucas smiled as he stood up straight and nodded at the small audience. “It wasn’t really a big deal. My father’s influence in the business world is quite profound. When Lesley t
