ASSISTANT HAROLD

As soon as everyone heard the sound, they all turned their heads towards the conference room door.

But when they saw who walked in, they were all stunned.

"Brentley?"

Ralap's eyes flashed with shock when he saw Brentley. He never expected Brentley to actually show up today.

Claire also looked at Brentley with a surprised expression. She had already given up hope, thinking Brentley wouldn't come today. She was ready to agree with Ralap to cancel her engagement with Brentley!

But just at that moment, Brentley walked in.

"You want to cancel our engagement? Don't you think you need my consent first?" Brentley asked calmly as he walked up to Claire.

"Brentley..."

Claire looked at him with wide eyes, her emotions a mix of confusion and relief, unsure how to respond.

"Brentley, how dare you show your face here? Didn't you promise to find an investor for my sister's company yesterday? Where's the investor now?" Erica shouted, pointing a finger at Brentley

    YOUR ACTING IS PRETTY GOOD"Claire, who is this guy?" Erica asked, her eyes filled with curiosity as she watched Harold walk into the conference room."I don't know either," Claire replied, shaking her head slightly.Harold usually handled business outside of Sunshire City for Mr. Griffin, so it was normal for people here not to recognize him."Is this guy really going to invest in your company? Did Brentley actually find an investor?" Erica asked, her big eyes wide with confusion as she glanced at Brentley.Claire took a deep breath and remained silent. She wasn't sure what this middle-aged man was here for. Even if he had the means to invest in her company, it didn't mean he would. Claire felt a mix of hope and anxiety.Brentley slowly walked over to Claire and whispered, "Don't worry. This is the guy I brought to invest in your company.""Brentley, is he really going to invest in my company?" Claire asked, her face full of doubt."Yes," Brentley replied confidently, nod

    STOP TALKING, JUST SEND THE MONEY."Are you saying my acting is good?"Harold was taken aback by Ralap's words. With a puzzled expression, he asked, "Sir, what do you mean by that?""Yeah, Ralap, what nonsense are you spouting now?" Claire felt that Ralap was just trying to cause trouble because he couldn't get what he wanted. She quickly stood up and shouted at him."Claire, are you really that naive? Do you honestly think this guy is planning to invest in your company?"Ralap sneered at Claire."What do you mean? If I'm not here to invest, then what am I doing here?" Harold couldn't help but snort."You know exactly why you're here. You're just playing along with Brentley in this charade!" Ralap pointed accusingly at Brentley."A charade?"Claire's eyes flashed with confusion at Ralap's words. She couldn't understand what he was trying to do."Can't you all see what's going on here?"Ralap shouted at everyone and continued, "This guy is not the Vice President of Dingshen

    CAN'T YOU TRANSFER THE MONEY YET?Brentley knew it was perfectly normal for the people in the meeting room to doubt Harold's identity. After all, in their eyes, Brentley was just a poor student, someone who couldn't possibly know the vice president of Dingsheng Group. Brentley and Harold were from completely different worlds.So, when faced with Ralap and the others' accusations, Brentley didn't bother to explain. He simply asked Harold to have the Dingsheng Group transfer the money, which would clear everything up.Brentley had plenty of money now, and he intended to use it to slap Ralap and the others in the face.After hearing Brentley's request, Harold simply replied, "Got it," and quickly left the room with his phone.The moment Harold left, the room fell into an uneasy silence. Everyone's expressions were complicated."Could Harold really be from Dingsheng Group?" Ralap muttered, feeling a bit uneasy himself. He quickly pulled out his phone, intending to call his dad to

Almost every notable business owner in Sunshire City knew him.So, when he walked into the meeting room, everyone froze in place, their faces filled with shock."Brentley, sorry for being a bit late. I had some urgent matters to attend to," Mr. Griffin said, using a casual tone to avoid drawing attention to Brentley's identity."No problem," Brentley replied calmly.The room fell into an even deeper silence as everyone processed the conversation between Brentley and Griffin. They were utterly stunned to realize that Brentley actually knew James Griffin.The entire meeting room was so quiet it felt eerie. No one dared to make a sound, not even to breathe loudly. They all thought today's events were simply unbelievable.Claire slowly shifted her gaze until it landed on Brentley. She had initially thought Brentley was just boas

    BRENTLEY CARTER, I APOLOGIZE TO YOU.If Claire hadn't driven Brentley away earlier or said those harsh words to him, Brentley would definitely have convinced Mr. Griffin to invest. But Claire's behavior had really angered Brentley, and now he didn't know what to do.Claire looked at Brentley, her eyes suddenly filled with tension. She had realized that Brentley wasn't a fraud and that he had indeed found a powerful investor for her. She regretted saying those things to him and misunderstanding him. If she hadn't misjudged Brentley, things wouldn't have turned out this way.Now, Claire had no choice. If Brentley didn't get President Griffin to invest in her company, she would have to watch it collapse. Ralap and his father were already struggling and couldn't possibly invest in her company."Brentley, I apologize!"At that moment, Erica suddenly shouted at Brentley. Yes, the always proud Erica had put aside her pride. She didn't know why Brentley knew someone like James Griffin

    Brentley turned his head to look at Mr. Griffin after hearing Claire's words. Griffin gave a faint smile and said softly, "I'll wait for you in the car then.""Okay."Brentley nodded and then walked towards Claire's direction.When Claire saw Brentley approaching, a hint of nervousness flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she instinctively took two steps back."Why did you call me over?" Brentley asked Claire softly."Well, Brentley, I really want to thank you for today. If it weren't for you bringing General Manager Griffin and Assistant General Manager Harold over, I wouldn't have secured this investment!" Claire said politely."You're my fiancee. Isn't it a bit too formal to thank me like this?" Brentley smiled gently."I just feel really bad. You've helped me so much, but I kept misunderstanding you. I even thought you were a fraud. I feel really sorry now," Claire said, her voice filled with regret. She wasn't just apologizing for today but for all the times she had wronged Brentle

    Inside the Mercedes.Mr. Griffin glanced at Brentley, hesitated for a moment, then softly said, "Young Master Carter, someone is trying to compete with you for the inheritance of the old chairman!""Someone wants to compete with me for the inheritance?" Brentley Carter's eyes showed a hint of confusion as he softly asked, "Didn't you tell me before that Gerald Brown had no children or spouse? Who's competing for his inheritance?""Young Master Carter, the old chairman indeed didn't marry or have kids, but he had a nephew named Abel!" Mr. Griffin said slowly, looking at Brentley."Abel?" Brentley Carter paused for a moment, frowning as he asked, "Is this person also from Sunshire City?""No, he's from the Vargas Family in the capital city!" Mr. Griffin shook his head lightly and continued, "The Vargas Family is quite a renowned family in the capital. The old chairman and the current head of the Vargas Family, Louis, were actually brothers!""So, you're s

    SHE'S MY SECRETARY!Brentley followed Griffin and Harold as they drove straight to the outskirts of Sunshire City.After about half an hour, the Mercedes-Benz slowly came to a stop in front of a duplex villa."Young Master Carter, we're here. Time to get out!" Griffin turned around and said to Brentley with a cheerful smile."What exactly did you prepare for me? Can't you just tell me directly?" Brentley asked, feeling a bit exasperated."Young Master Carter, you'll see your gift soon enough. No need to rush!" Mr. Griffin replied, still smiling.Harold then opened the car door for Brentley, who reluctantly got out of the Mercedes.Once out of the car, Griffin led Brentley into the villa.Upon entering the villa, Brentley noticed three people in the living room: two men and one woman.The two men were both in their twenties. One was slightly chubby, wearing thick glasses, and fiddling with his computer on the sofa—a typical nerd.The other man had dark skin, a

    BREAKING INTO THE GIRLS' DORM!Brentley stared at the video on his phone, his expression one of utter disbelief. He couldn't fathom why the other person would do such a thing."Wow..."Brentley took a deep breath and walked out of his room, phone in hand. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of this today. Otherwise, Claire might continue to misunderstand."Brentley?"Just as Brentley stepped out of his room, he saw Phoebe coming out of the elevator with takeout in her hand."What a coincidence! Did you just get back?"Brentley glanced at Phoebe and replied softly. Today, Phoebe was dressed particularly attractively. She wore a tight crop top that revealed her slender waist and black denim shorts that showed off her long, fair legs. On her feet were cute pink slippers, making her look both adorable and a bit sexy.In Brentley's mind, Phoebe always seemed to prefer wearing shorts. Unless she was at home relaxing, she was almost always in shorts or a short skirt. It

Can you just tell me already?" Brentley shouted, clearly frustrated."I don't need anything from you right now," Myra said with a smile. "But if Ihelp you this time, it won't be for free. So, you have to promise me that when Ineed your help in the future, you'll be there for me.

They aren't real at all..."Brentley never expected things to turn out this way. Just as he and Claire were about to leave, she saw these photos. When Claire had called him to say she wascoming to Sunshire City University, he hadn't thought about the photos. Now, they were all over the school and he regretted letting her come."Brentley, I can't believe you're this kind of person. The photos are all overthe school, and you still have the nerve to explain?"Claire's big, watery eyes were filled with anger as she shouted.After the last investment incident, Claire had started to accept Brentley'spresence in her life.

Brentley asked, his tone a bit nervous."Why? Can't I call you without a reason?" Claire replied with a cheerful smile in her voice. Brentley was taken aback by Claire's response. A strange look flashed in hiseyes because he thought if Claire had seen those photos, she wouldn't be speaking to him like this."No, it's just that you don't usually call me," Brentley quickly replied."Didn't we agree to get our marriage certificate today? Where are you now? I'llcome pick you up," Claire said slowly.Brentley couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. As long as Clairehadn't seen those photos, everything was fine."I'm at school right now!"Brentley whispered, "Do you have time this morning? If not, I can come find you this afternoon."Cla

The photos weren't just any pictures; they were ofhim and Ophelia in bed, though some parts were blurred out. The two of them looked incredibly close."Where did you get these photos?" Brentley asked through gritted teeth, glaring at Graham."I found them on the school bulletin board this morning. They were also in every classroom. Tyree and I have been collecting them all morning, but we've onlymanaged to gather a few. Most of them have already been taken by others," Grahamsaid, looking helplessly at Brentley."Who the heck did this?"

The girl inside rolled down the window and shouted, "Get in, take me home!"Brentley looked at the girl's delicate face, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. He frowned and asked, "Do you know me?""Of course, I don't know you!" the girl replied nonchalantly."Then why do you want me to get in and take you home?" Brentley asked, his confusion deepening."I had a bit to drink at the bar earlier. I'm worried there might be a DUIcheckpoint ahead, so I need you to drive me home. I'll pay you..." the girl responded softly after a moment."Oh, I see," Brentley nodded slightly, his face expressionless. "Well, youshould call a driver service. I'm heading home myself.""If I could find a driver, why would I ask you? Besides, my place isn't that farfrom here. I'll give you five hundred dollars, okay?"
