Back From Prison! Chapter 253: Online Sales Agreement.
"Director Miller, Assistant Willow is here." Just as Gregory was about to explain the immediate tasks to Jonathan, his secretary knocked and entered. "Willow?" Gregory questioned doubtfully, although he knew who it was since only one assistant named Willow was in the company. But what puzzled Gregory was what Willow was doing in his sales department so early in the morning. She wasn't here to inquire about the Summon shop incident, was she? "Yes." "Then let her in. Don't dawdle!" "Director Miller, Assistant Willow is here to invite Deputy Director Wang. CEO Kyle has requested the Deputy Director to come to her office." Oh! Gregory looked surprised at Jonathan. Wasn't it just yesterday that Jonathan met Carnelian? Today they were meeting again. The frequency seemed too much. But since when has it become so easy to meet Carnelian? In Gregory's memory, despite being a director of the sales department, he rarely had the chance to meet Carnelian in private. Jonathan also looke
Back From Prison! Chapter 254: Win Over Gladys.
"Miss Gladys, please don't misunderstand. This is not our intent but rather the head offices. After all, we're a large company and must tread carefully in all affairs. Naturally, we present two alternatives for you to choose from. Suppose Miss Gladys dislikes the plan I've just explained. In that case, she is entirely free to choose the initial contract with no additional conditions," Jonathan interposed, tactfully creating a buffer before reluctantly continuing, "Just that..." "What is it?" Everyone harbors a sense of curiosity; even a star like Gladys is no exception, she immediately retorted. Jonathan paused for a few seconds before seeming sheepish, "Miss Gladys, as you're aware, large corporations are all about protocols, and I'm sure you're well aware of how Orchid operates. If Miss Gladys agrees to endorse our products, it indicates your trust in them, and surely you wouldn't want to harm your fans." "We chose Miss Gladys and no one else for this product promotion live strea
Back From Prison! Chapter 255: Bellamy’s Become More Intelligent.
At the exact moment. In a hotel. A young man with an ordinary appearance but an incredibly sharp gaze stood in the middle of the lobby, furrowing his brows as he listened to his subordinate's report. "Carnelian took a man to the Minium Club three hours ago and let that man drive her car?" Bellamy questioned in a fury. The subordinate nodded affirmingly: "I saw it with my eyes, Master Miller!" Instantly, Bellamy erupted in rage: "Damn it, how did I not realize that Carnelian was such a loose woman! Engaged to Derek is one thing, but she's romping around with other men! Even her favorite car, she's let him drive!" "She puts on such a goddamn high-and-mighty act in front of me!" As Bellamy was hurling his verbal abuse, his phone started buzzing. Picking it up, his face turned a rather interesting shade of color. Unexpectedly, it was Carnelian calling him! "Hello, Carnelian. What brings you to call me?" Although he secretly condemned Carnelian, Bellamy’s tone was tender and flat
Back From Prison! Chapter 256: Derek Gets Beaten.
Once they were seated, Augustus, with his eyes full of curiosity, looked at Jonathan: "I heard that you gave up your position to Zachary not long after I left the Southwest and then disappeared. I thought you had gone to New York, and I was right." "But Jonathan, I am inquisitive. Why did you abandon your position as the heir of the Top-Sky House and flee to New York?" In the Southwest, Jonathan had the power to control everything. However, without the backing of the Top-Sky House, he would have no foundation in New York. Furthermore, Jonathan could no longer fight after that fight, making him just an ordinary man. "That's personal. Oh, what about Bellamy looking for me?" Jonathan skillfully dodged the personal question and asked about the more critical matter. "Bellamy doesn't have much guts or intelligence. His only redeeming quality is his sincere affection for Carnelian." "I asked Bellamy. Carnelian wanted him to misunderstand that she likes you while her engagement to Derek
Back From Prison! Chapter 257: Seeking Illicit Relationship.
When Jonathan arrived at the office the next day, Gregory found him and dumped a pile of documents in front of him to review. Considering his relatively light workload, he immediately dug into the newly arrived documents, providing feedback. This, at least, could help kill some time. Throughout the morning, Carnelian did not show up at the office, which allowed Jonathan even more freedom. He suspected it related to the news Augustus had received the day before, probably about Derek being beaten up by Bellamy. But as to the specifics, he needed to learn. In reality, Jonathan was very curious. If the Wang family had welcomed the fifth young master back to New York, why did they seem so unconcerned about him? Bellamy, though rebellious, didn't have as much clout as the Millers, who seemed to be at the top of the New York social scene. Bellamy had openly attacked Derek. Wasn't he afraid of provoking the Wang family's anger? And yet, the Wang family appeared uninterested in Derek's w

Particular respiratory care unit.The special care units of New York's hospitals were designed solely to serve affluent families.As Carnelian stepped into the special care unit, her demeanor differed entirely from the domineering woman she had been earlier. From a distance, she said in a timid voice, "Grandpa, do you feel any better? The hospital isn't as comfortable as home, is it?"In the hospital room was a middle-aged woman who could be identified as a housekeeper by her stern appearance and attire.The older man lying in bed, with his hair and beard already gray and somewhat overweight, was someone Jonathan had heard about but never met.Everyone in the country knew of him.The seven-star general, Leonard Kyle!He was the highest-ranked general and the New York military district commander in charge of maintaining order in the area.His prestigious position hinted at his past power and influence.Without such a grandfather, it's uncertain whether Carnelian would have had the priv

Despite Bellamy's thought, Jonathan pushed the check back and replied: "Master Miller, I don't need this money! And I won't leave New York. I hope you'll understand!" "You impudent child, refusing to drink when offered and yet wanting to drink a penalty!" Derek, the crew-cut man from earlier, immediately burst out in rage. Bellamy raised his hand, silencing Derek with a gesture, before locking his eyes on Jonathan in silent fury, his face painted with a wicked blend of rage and cruelty. "Rarely does anyone dare to cross me. Are you under the illusion that I wouldn't dare touch you with Augustus behind you?" His subtext was clear as crystal: offering Jonathan the money and asking him to leave was a significant concession on his part out of respect for Augustus. But his benevolence could flip at any given moment. Jonathan laughed sarcastically: "Whether you respect Mr. Alexander or not, Master Miller, I have no intention of leaving. But for the record, there is nothing between me a
Back From Prison! Chapter 260: The Letter Of Resignation.
Reminiscing, Daisy's face was a tableau of anguish. She revealed: "After my father was investigated for criminal activities, we lost touch for a while. During that time, Joel's father approached my mother, saying that if she agreed to transfer her shares and this estate, he would help forgive my father." "The outcome? My mother signed the transfer agreement, and my father jumped from a building!" In essence, Daisy's family was deceived! No wonder. Jonathan refrained from probing further, afraid of stirring up more turmoil within Daisy. Perhaps Daisy had suspicions about the oddities surrounding her father's circumstances but lacked concrete proof. Daisy was still a little girl, and her mother was just an ordinary woman. Even if they had suspicions, what could they possibly do? Or perhaps, they had indeed tried to unravel the truth but were met with impotent despair. Joel gave off an impression of being coldly indifferent - his company had gone bankrupt, yet he nonchalantly auc

At the Moonlight company's neighboring cafe. Jonathan and Juliette sat secluded in a dim corner. Juliette, shedding her pretense, took a sip of coffee before saying: "I've arranged to dine with Feagan tonight. What's our next move?" "How do you find Feagan?" Jonathan inquired earnestly. "Handsome, even more than you. And oozing charisma! If I were Adela, I'd choose him and kick you to the curb." Juliette quipped. Jonathan: "..." "Heh, just teasing!" Seeing Jonathan's knitted brows, Juliette laughed: "But seriously, Feagan seems like another wolf in sheep's clothing. He's no match for you! I entered his office and he stared at me for minutes. I've seen that type of gaze in Crystal Cove all too often. He's not a catch." "You've got the right hunch. Feagan is no pillar to lean on. If your old friend is by his side, she's bound to regret it." Hearing this, Jonathan hesitated: "Tonight, carry a mini-camera. Entice him to reveal his true colors. If you succeed, make a swift exit."

Katherine swiftly dismissed with a flick of her hand, her face etched with profound disagreement. "How can you suggest such a thing? If in the next two years you don't marry her and by some chance you decide to part ways with my dear Juliette, then what?" "If such were to occur, you would've squandered the best years of her youth! Absolutely not! It cannot be so." "Yet, for now, Juliette and I are not in a position to wed." Jonathan feigned discomfort, an aura of unease surrounding him. In a sudden whisper, Katherine interjected: "Even if marriage isn't immediate, there must be some assurance you can provide, mustn't there?" At this, both Andres and Wyatt, father and son, shifted their eager gazes toward Jonathan. Juliette inwardly smirked, thinking to herself, 'Mother is starting her games again.' It was clear the reason her parents were here tonight was solely for this imminent matter. They hadn't raised a daughter, but rather, it seemed, a mere commodity. "What assurance d

Once Tryphena was out of earshot, Juliette burst into giggles: "So Jonathan, that beauty is really your sister-in-law? Are you some kind of beast?" Of course, Juliette was jesting. Initially, she'd assumed the beauty Jonathan had turned down was just a stranger, and his mention of her being his brother's girlfriend was surely playful. But who was she kidding? Being a seasoned veteran in Crystal Cove' entertainment industry, Juliette had encountered countless personalities. Tryphena posed no threat. A few words were all it took to send her packing, all while maintaining her own clandestine identity. "Let's drop it. Since we've met, let's go somewhere." Jonathan said, steering the conversation away from Tryphena. "Agreed." Juliette cheerfully responded. As they strolled through the streets, their charisma was undeniable. The frequency with which heads turned to steal glances was remarkable. "How long are you staying in Elite Summit this time?" Juliette inquired with genuine interes

Chapter 341: 'What Kind Of Man Are You?'
"It's rare to run into familiar faces in Elite Summit." Tryphena mused, her words a flurry of excitement: "Would you join me for dinner tonight? If you're busy, tomorrow is fine too. Let's exchange numbers and connect on social media first!" Although initially hesitant, Jonathan found himself swayed by the genuine warmth in her eyes: "Tonight it is." With contact details exchanged and plans set, the two bid each other a temporary farewell. That very evening, as the city's lights began to shimmer, Jonathan received an investigation update from Roger. Adela was seeing someone. Moonlight Corp, where she worked in Elite Summit, was primarily managed by her and Deputy CEO Vera. However, recently, a charismatic new CEO named Feagan William, reputedly a returnee from overseas studies and rumored to be the scion of some top executive from M & N, took the helm. Since Feagan's arrival, he seemed relentlessly smitten by Adela. He often accompanied her to business outings and ensured she ret

Chapter 340: Jonathan's Quiet Grief.
After a while, Jonathan broke the ice, initiating a topic of discussion. Moonlight, Adela's brainchild, was now the talk of the town. "Our autumn collection has been a great success, both in terms of sales and profits." Adela began: "But to claim the top spot might be premature. Despite the backing of renowned domestic and international fashion houses like Wind & Fire and M & N, we can't be overly confident in becoming the flagbearer of our nation's fashion industry." "We'll truly know our standing after assessing the sales for the next three seasons. Only then can we truly earn national recognition." Truth be told, Adela was not overly concerned about Moonlight's position or its future; her worries had nearly evaporated. But she shared this perspective nonetheless. Jonathan silently rejoiced, noting Adela's growth and maturity. She was no longer the fishmonger he once knew from the market; she had blossomed into a successful businesswoman. In a time not so distant, Adela would,

Tommy shook his head, his words hastening to fill the air between them: "My sister-in-law is doing well; she's thriving in her job. Not too long ago, she even moved to a new house." “But when I visited Curtis last, there was a man at her place.” Tommy, flustered and scrambling for words, replied: "Oh, he must've been just a business partner, discussing some contracts with my sister-in-law. Nothing more.” Jonathan's face darkened in thought. A man? From what he knew about Adela, she would never entertain business at her private residence. Could it be? Had Adela found someone? It was possible. After all, when he had left Elite Summit, she had suggested they take a year apart. This perhaps hinted that their time together might eventually come to an end. Though Jonathan's relationship with Adela had blurred past friendship, their bond, in essence, was only maintained by Curtis. They never really became lovers. So, it was perfectly normal for Adela to have a boyfriend. Yet, the very th

Mammon's lips curled into a gentle smile: "If gratitude is to be given, direct it to Jonathan. While Mr. Moore and I might be acquaintances, our bond isn't as profound. Had it not been for Jonathan's plea, the Moores wouldn’t have found me in their corner." "Yes, indeed!" "Now, Mr. Moore, we must expedite matters. The sooner we seal the agreement, the better." "Let us restart the project and alleviate our shared anxieties." Business attended to, Mammon shared a few parting words before departing in the company of Jonathan. Their venture could truly be described as a fruitful one. Barring unforeseen tribulations, the peril that threatened the Moore family was seemingly defused. Their reputation, however, was something they'd have to mend on their own. Considering their current scenario, evading a declaration of bankruptcy due to piled debts was almost a miracle in itself. To hope for more would be sheer fantasy. All agreements were set in stone. Soon, Mammon would dispatch his

"Come now! Don't be like that! We've been childhood playmates, remember? Regardless of circumstances, our bond persists." Wynstan responded, pouring two glasses of wine with an exaggerated flourish. "This is a vintage from my personal collection. A true delight for the palate. Try it." Given there were just the two of them, the spread wasn't overly grand. Yet, countless esteemed businessmen from Crystal Cove would give an arm and a leg to be part of this dinner. However, to Nora, the invitation felt more burdensome than honorary. A toast always called for full glasses. And business often demanded the libations flow freely. Seeing Nora's thoughtful gaze, Wynstan chuckled: "Finding my wine lacking, are we? I suppose, being the magnate you now are, this might not match your status." Truth be told, the wine wasn't cheap, retailing at over a thousand. Yet to Nora, it was mere triviality. The wine wasn't the issue. Even if Wynstan had offered a commonplace wine worth mere tens, its

Chapter 336: We Still Have Samantha.
Jonathan remained silent, not swayed by Dieter's hollow compliments. For Jonathan knew, of all places, Elite Summit was hardly a theater of illustrious figures. Were it Crystal Cove, perhaps he might've begrudgingly conceded the point. But Elite Summit? What did it offer? Still, empty flattery was better than none; it lent a certain sweetness to the air. "Jonathan, there's a favor I'd like to ask of you." Dieter finally disclosed his intentions. Jonathan wasn't surprised. The Moore family was in a state of disarray, teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. Why else would Dieter squander an evening over dinner with him if not to seek some favor? "Speak, sir." Jonathan invited, his voice tinged with resignation. Though he had stretched himself thin helping the Moores, he couldn't guarantee the extent of the impact he could make. "In recent days, I've tallied up the debts of the Moore Corporation. The sum exceeds 65 billion." Dieter elaborated: "We've acquired raw materials for project
