Joanna was confused at the mockery oozing out of Alison had William. She could tell something was wrong and it scared her.Then Alison answered, "I'm just laughing someone avaricious who overrates her own abilities."Matthew also let out a laugh. "You are just a bunch of kids. Do you really think that Bloom Constructions will transfer seventy percent of the subsidiary company shares in City North to you? You think we're that stupid? Gosh, you're too naive. Keep on dreaming!""What?!" Joanna exclaimed in shock. "This contract is fake?"Madame Emma cackled, finding it funny. "Of course it's fake. The Bloom family doesn't need ungrateful people like you! Joanna, you're too ambitious. How dare you try to dominate the subsidiary company in City North?! You were just running that malodorous mouth of yours! You have no qualifications to take what belongs to me, who gave you that courage? Is it trash you call a husband?! You know what, just get out! You're no longer needed!"Joanna was on the
Everyone wasn't sure they heard right."He signed the contract?""The useless son of a bitch signed the contract?""How could he of all people have such power?"Travis sighed, getting fed up with how they were wasting too much time. He looked at his watch and announced, "Five minutes is far gone! I'm not sure you guys are taking things really seriously. Also, I could sign this and you can't because I know Mr. Pattinson and he owes me a favor."Alison once again immediately started yelling, "There's no way! Stop trying to bluff your way out of this! How can you – a joker and a loser – sign something as important as that?! You're a nobody. A cheap bastard who only eats out of the hands of Joanna. You're no better than a street rat! You would have been starved to death ages ago if you hadn't met Joanna! You're overestimating your worth!"Travis's cold gaze landed on Alison but before he could act –SLAP!Joanna threw a slap at Alison's face with a daring expression. "You just keep runnin
Sharon had heard the news from around the company as well. She scurried to the window to see it herself, her heart rising at every step she took. However, Joanna and Travis had already entered the building. Something didn't sit right with her and her heart standing pounding nervously.She remembered that Alison hadn't been to work since yesterday and she hasn't received any calls from her as well. She was feeling extremely uneasy.She was especially anxious cause she has a lot of loans to pay and has an entire family to take care of.Cold sweat trickled down her forehead as she thought of what to do.She tried calling Alison's phone but it kept going to voicemail. "Why the hell isn't she picking?!" She lamented after trying numerous times.Beep… "Hi, you've reached Alison Bloom. If I'm unavailable then I'm too busy to take your call right now, you can just leave a message if it is urgent and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. If this is too urgent, please send me a text message
A week later, it was a new day.Travis woke up early in the morning, feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead. He tiptoed out of the bedroom so as not to wake his wife Joanna and their daughter Maya, who were still fast asleep. He went to the kitchen and started preparing breakfast for the family.He put on some music, humming along to the tunes as he diced up vegetables for an omelet. The smell of sizzling bacon filled the kitchen, and soon the aroma of fresh coffee joined in. He poured himself a cup and took a sip, feeling the warmth spread through his body.As the omelet cooked, Travis set the table with plates, silverware, and napkins. He arranged a vase of fresh flowers in the center of the table, a small touch that he knew would make Joanna smile when she saw it.Being back home, all he just wanted was to put them back on good terms.Finally, the breakfast was ready, and Travis went back to the bedroom to wake his wife and daughter. He gently nudged Joanna, whispering in he
Travis looked at both Helen and Isaac, wondering how they knew each other and how they became together, but it wasn't any of his business so he asked, "And why are you here, Helen?"Helen giggled and answered, "I came with Isaac to see the infamous Golden Tower." After that, she looked at Isaac in admiration and continued, "Isaac's family has a lot of cooperation with Danforth Group, do you know that? It's called Infinity Builders and Designs which makes his father one of the executives."However, Isaac stared at Travis contemptuously and couldn't help feeling injustice in his heart.This stinky rug made him feel like a loser, a feeling he has never felt in his whole life. He looked like what the cat dragged from the gutter but yet Joanna chose such a useless waste over him.If it weren't for him, he would have ended up with such a beauty, instead of wasting his time around with inferior Helen that has nothing much to give.Enveloped by this, Isaac was upset and he asked, "Why are you
Travis arrived at the Manager Marshall's office and he opened it without knocking and without thought."Who the…" Manager Marshall's words hung as he saw Travis. He was in shock since he didn't expect his visit to the board room where a meeting was being held."Oh, did I – disturb anything?" Travis questioned.Manager Marshall shook his head. "Of course not, Master Travis. I was more shocked to see you here."Isaac, Helen, and his father, Calvin were there too, having an important meeting about a project coming up.Isaac stood up on his feet as he saw Travis. "What the hell is this bastard doing here?! So that guard was so useless that he let you walk in?!"Manager Marshall looked at Isaac. "Mind your words, boy!"Isaac looked at Manager Marshall. "I'm only telling the truth, Sir. That boy is a nobody and he shouldn't be here! He's not someone to be welcomed in here, believe me. He's got nothing, he's a rejected son-in-law living off of his wife! I mean, look at how he's dressed!!"Ma
Isaac looked up at Travis. The shock made his eyes resemble two full moons rising over the horizon. His mind was a maze, twisting and turning as he tried to make sense of the impossible realization.His father, Calvin couldn't also believe it but his shock wasn't the problem, it was the realization that he was about to lose everything. To lose his face in the corporate world.Not only that, more than half of Infinity Builders and Designs profits are made by the Danforth Group!If the contract is terminated, his family's strength and net worth would be cut by half.He could not accept this reality so he looked at his son in anger, pointed at him, and yelled, "Look at what you've done, son!! You have ruined the family!! Kneel and apologize, right now!!"He blinked rapidly, trying to clear the spots from his vision and bring the world back into focus, then he straightened up on his knees and squared his shoulders, like a soldier coming back to attention after a moment of confusion or dis
The next day, the news released by the Danforth group completely detonated the entire Grove City.Hearing that the Danforth Group made a decision to change hands, the Bloom family wanted to understand why the DuPont family was kicked out by the Danforth Group.They've been rumors going around that the heir of the Danforth group is back and has accepted his inheritance, could he be the one changing things instead?Infinity Builders and Designs have been working with Danforth Group for more than a year now, but they were kicked away in one fell swoop like trash in the mud.If that's the case, then this new heir must look down on small corporations. The funny thing is, Infinity Builders and Designs is not a small corporation and if that's the case, then a lot of corporations would have no chance.And now, the Danforth group wants to invest in a hotel project worth two billion dollars, it was enough to make the entire Grove City construction and decoration industries tremble.Two billion!
