Edward judged the situation before him and started laughing. "You're truly amazing, Mr. Kenne! You must've enjoyed the night.""Hah! Yes, indeed." Wilson smiled coldly.Edward snickered as he presented the gift. "You must be tired. Here, I brought you some supplements. These are highly nutritional."Wilson took the gift box and thrust it on the floor. He stared at Edward before asking, "Eddy, did you do it on purpose?""What do you mean?" Edward realized something was not right."Guards! Beat him up!" Wilson bellowed. Five guards entered the room."Mr. Kenne, what is going on? Ouch!"The guards promptly started beating Edward up."Throw him out when you're done. Loser." Wilson spat and lay down on the bed.Half an hour later, Edward limped out of the villa covered in bruises. In the car, he pressed hard on his bleeding nose with one hand as he dialed Randall's number with the other.He was confused. Everything had gone well yesterday, but why was Mr. Kenne acting differently
Aside from the start-up capital for her company, Allegra didn’t have anything else. Luckily for her, she had a friend in the Labor Bureau who offered to help her organize a recruitment fair to hire employees.Besides, her friend also advertised the recruitment fair for free and got a few other friends to help out. Allegra was very thankful to her for this.The next day, Allegra put on some simple makeup and hurriedly went out. Before leaving, she asked Isaac to help out later as well.When Isaac reached the 17th floor, he was a little too early. A sign on the door said ‘Garth Properties 1st Recruitment Fair’.Allegra was bustling around inside. A young man kept hovering around her as she worked.Seeing that Isaac and Beefy Bob had arrived, Allegra hurried over and handed each of them a uniform.“We’re a little short on people right now. Can you help us out?”Beefy Bob took the black uniform from her and saw the logo on it that read ‘Nebula Security’.He chuckled when he saw that Isaac
Allegra’s face drained of all its blood immediately. She staggered backward.The entire crowd started to fuss and talk among themselves. Everyone looked at Allegra in shock; they couldn’t believe that such a pretty woman used to be a janitor.Andrew raised his hand and shouted, “I’m Allegra Booth’s brother, Andrew Booth, and I can confirm that she used to be a janitor. She’s specifically in charge of scrubbing the toilet bowls. She has completely zero knowledge of managing a company! If you work under her, I can promise that this company will no doubt go bankrupt within six months!”The jobseekers threw a louder, hissier fit when they heard that. They were angry, and some of them even got up to leave.After all, those who came looking for a job were degree holders, at the very least. Who in their right mind would want to work for a janitor?Allegra stood on the podium and yelled, “Wait, don’t leave! I’m sure that I can manage this company well. Listen to me first!”Nobody wanted to lis
Edward never thought that the huge fuss he’d made would get resolved with just a few words from Isaac. Not a single jobseeker had left.“I believe you, Mr. Garten. Bring me the contract. I’ll sign it immediately!”As soon as one person spoke, the rest followed suit and asked for their employment contracts. Allegra was touched when she saw the scene. Her eyes glistened with tears, but she smiled widely and hurried off to get the contracts immediately.As Isaac got down from the podium, Beefy Bob looked at him in surprise and gave him a thumbs-up. “That was impressive. Very impressive indeed.”“It’s the same principle as hyping the troops before dispatch. Nothing impressive at all.” Isaac then looked up and saw that Edward and Andrew were leaving.Quickly, he went up to them. “Stay where you are.”Edward and Andrew had just reached the elevators. They felt their hearts sink when they turned and saw Isaac walking toward them.“Isaac, you—”A loud slap sounded.Edward hadn’t even said a s
Serena then glanced at Isaac and asked, “Isaac, do you know what day is the day after tomorrow?”“The day after tomorrow? What’s going on?”“Oh, my god. Did you forget your brain in jail? It’s your seventh wedding anniversary, idiot. I can’t believe you forgot it and needed an outsider like me to remind you.”Isaac was stunned. A lot of things ran through his mind. How could he forget? His anniversary was on August 22.“Before you came back, Ally would cry in her room all day on her wedding anniversary. I’d always have to comfort her every year. That’s why I remember the date so clearly. Now that you’re back, even if she doesn’t believe it, I think you should do something for her,” Serena said seriously.“You’re right. What should I get? She already has a new car. Should I gift her a new house?” Isaac scratched his head. He didn’t know what would be an appropriate gift.Serena rolled her eyes and said, “You’re so materialistic. Don’t you remember what you promised her when you were sti
Isaac was surprised to see Emily there. Wasn’t she in a mountain of debt right now? How could she afford to dine here?Before he could say anything, a man in a sky-blue shirt and gold-rimmed spectacles arrived.“Emily, let’s go in. What are you still doing outside?”The bespectacled man saw that Emily was looking at Isaac. He then shifted his gaze to Isaac, and the smile on his face froze at once. He lifted his finger to point at Isaac with a confused look.“Oh, let me introduce you both. Isaac, this is Rory Mandela, our class rep back in the day. Rory, Isaac Garten, from high school. Remember him?”Rory Mandela? That rich, snobby asshole from class?“Oh? What a coincidence. Of course, I remember Isaac. He’s the one whose parents are dead and who’d later been convicted of murder, right?” Rory asked, the corners of his lips lifting sinisterly.Serena frowned at once. Did he have to be such a douchebag when making small talk?“Aren’t you a murderer? The Waterfront Wonderland is the most
“Mr. Mandela, when did you arrive? You should have given me a call!”“Mr. Zane, I wanted to make a dinner reservation for The Lily Pad the day after tomorrow with my lovely partner here, but unfortunately, there’s a rat in the way. What should I do?”The manager, Mr. Zane, looked at Emily with a pleased face, and then glanced at Isaac.“I was the one who wanted to book the reservation first. Do you not have a first-come-first-serve policy in place here?” Isaac asked coldly.Seeing that Isaac was very firm in his stance, a difficult smile came over Mr. Zane’s face. “Sir, please hold on for a bit.”Mr. Zane immediately went behind the counter and asked the employees, “Who is this gentleman’s referral? What’s his background like?”“His referral is Mr. Marsh, the chief secretary. We haven’t looked up his background yet, but according to Mr. Mandela, it seems like he just got out of jail, something about being a murderer…” After learning some basic information, Mr. Zane concluded. He walke
Seeing that they were about to fight, Rory immediately tugged Emily backward as he mocked, “Look at that stupid idiot, actually daring to make such a huge fuss at a place like this. He probably doesn’t know who the boss is. He’s just looking for trouble!”“Rory, don’t you think you’re going overboard this time?” Emily asked with a frown.Rory was stunned. A cold look appeared in his eyes for a brief moment. “Overboard? Emily, did you not witness how he treated me just now? What right does he have to tell me what to do? Also, that bastard used to hit me back in high school. It’s never too late for revenge.”Emily remembered that Isaac used to be one of the naughtier kids in school who had a strong, burly physique. However, Rory was the one who often used his family background to bully other kids in school.For that, Isaac beat Rory up twice. She’d never thought that Rory would hold on to that grudge for so long.Still, it wasn’t long before the smug look on Rory’s face was wiped off. Th
