As soon as she reached the door, Dharia confidently pushed it open and walked into the interview room. She thought that this session would be just a formality and that she wouldn’t fail.“Hello, Sir! I’m Dharia Nelsons!” Dharia said, extending her hand.The interviewer was a middle-aged man, around 40 years old. He wore a suit and glasses. His expression was very serious with sharp, piercing eyes.“Oh… Dharia Nelsons?!” the man said upon hearing Dharia’s voice.Dharia lifted her head and turned around. “Yes, I’m Dharia Nelsons. I’m here for the interview regarding the project manager position. I...”Before Dharia could finish her sentence, the man cut her off. “You can leave now!”Dharia was stunned. She couldn’t believe what the man had just said. She asked, “Do you mean I should leave now and that the interview is over?”The middle-aged man frowned and looked at Dharia with an ironic gaze. “Over? Who said your interview was successful? I mean, you failed the interview!”“Do you unde

As the secretary walked towards them, Richard laughed insincerely and said, “Yes, I’m very poor, I can’t even rent a single room at the Underwater Hotel. Let’s see what your birthday will be like on the 18th!”“Aurora, let’s go!” Richard said, grabbing Aurora’s hand, while Dharia still looked at them with a disgusted expression.“You and your close friend are requested to attend the Underwater Hotel,” the secretary told Dharia.Initially, Dharia wasn’t quite sure if the Underwater Hotel was really booked for her or not. But now it seemed it was indeed for her. If not, why was she being asked to go there?“Alright, tell Mr. Raylon I will definitely come,” Dharia said with great joy and a hint of arrogance, as if she were already superior to the secretary.Dharia couldn’t wait for the 18th to arrive. She and Aurora shared the same birthday, and she would be staying at the luxurious nine-star Underwater Hotel, attended by all the top officials in Ligos city. Meanwhile, Aurora? She might

Is it worth sacrificing Aurora’s happiness and life for this bet? Carmen and the Nelsons family are utterly outrageous.They would easily offer Aurora to a man in his 50s for their own gain. If Richard loses, Aurora’s life and happiness will be destroyed. Carmen would do anything for money, even if it meant selling Aurora.“No way!”“Anyone else is fine, but not Aurora!” Richard said.It’s not that Richard doubted he could win, but he did not want to treat Aurora as a betting chip, forever.“Wow... Are you not confident you’ll win? It seems you’re lacking self-confidence!” Carmen mocked him.“You’re pathetic, you poor man!” Carmen continued, with a disgusted look towards Richard.“Aurora!”“Can’t you see she’s completely useless?! If you live with her, you’ll only live in poverty forever!”In her heart, Aurora disagreed with Carmen’s words. On the contrary, she said firmly to Richard, “I agree to bet with her!”“What did you say?” Richard was startled and looked at Aurora in surprise.

Yet the strangeness in Aurora’s gaze was so profound and intense that it could only be maintained for a second. If it weren’t for Richard’s extremely high level of vigilance, he would not have noticed that slight change in Aurora. “You don’t know her… That’s really strange,” Raylon murmured in confusion. “I thought the head of Skyler Group knew you and was aware of your identity. If not, how could she have initiated a bet like this?”“Moreover, in this bet, everyone would have assumed the Nelsons family would win,” Raylon added.Richard was also puzzled. After thinking for a while, he said, “Maybe she investigated this matter discreetly. Besides, someone from the Dwayne family came to Almolia City. That caused quite a stir in the whole city,” Richard said.Raylon nodded slowly, although no one could see him. Then his tone suddenly became much more serious.“Mr. Richard, recently our Diamond Group has been planning to go to Ligos city and expand there. And the biggest obstacle we hav

“Yes. I’m dealing with a problem. A poor man dared to lay his hands on me. Alright. I’m at Now Restaurant. Good. Thanks, Franco!”The man nodded, hands on his hips, as he ended the call. Then, he looked at Richard with sharp, arrogant eyes. It was as if he was already imagining Richard kneeling and begging for mercy later.The Franco he mentioned was none other than the person Elvan had ordered a few days ago.“Richard...” Aurora called, tugging at Richard’s sleeve.“It’s okay. Don’t be afraid.” Richard signaled Aurora not to worry. “I guarantee that the Franco he’s calling will be kneeling and begging for mercy in front of me within three seconds of seeing me.”But the man didn’t feel intimidated. Instead, he burst out laughing after hearing Richard’s big talk.He no longer cared about the pain in his wrist. He laughed and said, “Hahaha! What did you just say? When Franco arrives, he’ll kneel and beg for mercy in front of you? Who do you think you are, huh?”Dharia also looked at Ric
