At that moment, a portly middle-aged man with an air of arrogance approached, boisterously questioning: "May I ask where the table for those with more than 10 billion is?"
His words sent murmurs fluttering through the hall.
Some recognized him as Chairman Stanley Baker, rumored to be the top contributor of the day.
Abram approached him respectfully: "Greetings, sir. With 10 billion, of course, you may choose your table."
Stanley's smile oozed satisfaction. He glanced around, his eyes settling on Ethan's group's table.
"What makes this table so special?"
"How much did you all contribute?"
Londyn, flushed with embarrassment, admitted: "L
Together, Stanley and the materialistic woman beside him relentlessly derided Ethan's group.Though the Londyn group yearned to slap their adversaries, they were outmatched.Even Victoria felt somewhat despondent. Owning a mansion at the base of the mountain was already her utmost achievement.Or else, why would she stoically endure the disdain from others?"What does it matter if a house is expensive or cheap? The real essence is, are you living joyfully and comfortably?""Dear Victoria, let's proceed inside. Let's not engage with them further."Scarlet gently tugged at Victoria.Yet, Stanley, never one to let go, jeered: "Ha! Some mi
There, atop the peak, was a luxurious mansion, magnificent and opulent, shimmering like a palace, arresting the eyes of every beholder. From there, one could revel in a 360-degree view of All Sea city's nightscape.The sheer scale of it dwarfed the other mansion nestled mid-mountain, easily tenfold in size. With a pool, an observatory, even a basketball court—it seemed to have every conceivable amenity.In that electrifying moment, everyone stood as if turned to stone, utterly gobsmacked.Who could've imagined that atop Dreamydale mountain, such a grand, hidden gem existed, nestled amongst the peaks?At that very moment, Stanley felt the burning heat of embarrassment on his face.Witnessing Stanley's humbling moment, a
A steely stare of frustration was met with her fiery eyes. He sighed: "So, you're changing your mind?”She gave him another playful glance, then said softly: "It’s your baseless bragging, not my change of heart.”She added: "Besides, Toshan Bailey has disappeared for now. We'll continue this once he's found. I’m off to bed!”With that, she buried her blushing face into the pillow. Ethan chuckled: "Alright then.”With an air of finality, he immediately stepped outside and dialed a number, reaching out to Philip Bailay – the ostensible head of the Bailay household."A day has gone by, who put forth the bail to have your son released?"Ethan'
Amanda swiftly grasped the essence of the situation, her eyes narrowing in disbelief as they darted toward the group: "What is your intention?""Intentions?"Young Master Green turned around, casting his gaze upon the modestly dressed Ethan and the youthful appearance of Amanda. A hearty laugh escaped his lips."I've just perused the transfer files of you both.""A subpar student from New Single dares to compete with my son? Hart's quotas are precious, you know."The receptionist too, with a smirk, commented: "I had advised against letting those of a lesser stature enter.""It would only dilute our school's average quality, severely tarnishing its esteemed reputation."
"How can they just replace the head of the All Sea Security Office?"Young Master Green lamented.The principal coldly retorted: "When you changed the registration quota of someone's child, did you ask if changes could just be made?"This left Young Master Green speechless.Amanda couldn't hold back: "Exactly, and you dare to question our identity from New Single? I'll prove our credentials to you."With determination, she stepped aside and dialed someone from her lineage.Even if the Fred family didn't have power in All Sea, proving their status in New Single was no challenge.Young Master Green disdainfully disregarded her and shot a
She once believed Ethan could achieve anything, but now she wondered if she'd been simply living a fantasy.The car pulled up at the All Sea security office building."Just wait for a bit while I talk to them." he instructed.She grew anxious, fearing he might misspeak.Ethan chuckled: "Relax. I assure you, this will be straightforward.""Please, situations like these are never easy to negotiate." Londyn sighed heavily.Though Ethan exuded an aura of ease, she had only ever known him to be good with his fists.As for the instances where he had previously helped her, she wasn't present, making her wonder if those were mere coincidences.
Following the lifting of the seal, the Londyn Corporation resumed its operations. Ethan lay on the bed, watching Londyn, fresh from a shower, hum a tune and wrap a towel around her wet hair. It was evident that their company had overcome its challenges. This woman, transparent as glass, never concealed her emotions, an endearing trait indeed. On the other side, London had officially enrolled in Hart Kindergarten. She was currently chasing Caradoc around the hall, seemingly in high spirits. Only after confirming that the little one's mood hadn't been affected by the school transition did Ethan sigh in relief. Watching the two lovely figures, one transitioning to a new company and the other to a new school, yet both steadily overcoming without any hindrance, Ethan felt a surge of happiness and relief. Just then, his mobile phone rang. Picking it up, he saw that it was Frederick, who had recently recovered. He instantly sensed the topic. Stepping outside the luxurious residential
How could she possibly not comprehend this moral principle? "But, we have no other choices, shall we alert the police?" Londyn pursed her lips. Jackson seemed to catch their words, his mouth broadened into a smile, quipping: "Call the police, you say?" "Let me tell you, even if you call the police, we are not afraid!" "Mr. Issac has numerous connections. If you dare, go ahead and call, let’s see who has worse luck!" Witnessing such arrogant and dictatorial demeanor, they were simultaneously furious and reluctant, yet rendered powerless. The group of workers displayed a resigned countenance: "This is, indeed, like trying to talk sense to a fool." "Indeed, a wicked person will not be tormented by another..." Absolutely. Their spirits immediately dampened slightly, recalling Ethan's previous words, they all felt Ethan was overly optimistic. Just as they were about to compromise, Londyn prepared to hand over money to provisionally resolve the issue. Suddenly, vrrrmmm! Another
