"Jeannie," Leona stated confidently, without even glancing at the girl next to him.Upon hearing Jeannie's name, the girl’s face fell. Although she came from a good family and had top-notch looks, she knew she couldn't compare to Jeannie. Jeannie was the granddaughter of Logan, and her beauty was unparalleled.Leona stood still, hands clasped behind his back, staring into the distance. A bright red Benz GT drove closer, gradually coming into view. Leona, usually composed, smiled as the car stopped and someone stepped out. The woman, lightly adorned and stunningly beautiful, blended seamlessly with the scenery. Her long black hair was tied back with a silver-white jade hairpin, adding a star-like touch to her elegant image.Leona was mesmerized. Just as he was about to greet her, he noticed she was accompanied by an unfamiliar man. The man exited the car with her, and she held onto his arm.Leona's expression changed dramatically. After a few seconds, he regained his composure and walk

For the Taylor descendants, it was the best opportunity and the only one. Being chosen by Alex symbolized their future prospects.Alex's method of selection was interesting. He would only look at the gifts presented. He had once said that some items in the world were not inherently valuable but became treasures because they were liked by powerful people. He stated that at his birthday banquet, anyone could present the most valuable gift, and whoever's gift he chose would have proven their social skills and connections.This rule had been in place for many years. Every time, Alex would only look at the precious birthday gifts without accepting them. His words were, "If you can present it, you've already proven your social skills and connections."Today's birthday banquet, held once every five years, had all the Taylor descendants eagerly preparing.Ricard calmly sat beside Jeannie, ignoring the hostile stares from Jeannie's eldest and second aunts. He picked up chopsticks and served a

Karl couldn't help but smile, having heard of Mr. Taylor's cautious nature. A word of 'good' meant extreme satisfaction.Karl already planned how to deal with Daniel and Jeannie, relying on his relationship with Jayce, ensuring the Demneri Group would be in his control. As for Ricard, he planned to crush him.After presenting the gift, Jayce Taylor smiled and stepped back."Grandfather, may you have prosperity and longevity." Taylor Mong stood up, the youngest grandson, still in college at 21, with an innocent face.Hailen didn't bring an expensive gift, just a wooden bracelet."Grandfather, during my studies, I met Master Ethan and became his disciple. This is made by Master Ethan himself for you.""Master Ethan!""The one and only Master Ethan!"Everyone in the room was amazed, knowing Master Ethan was a respected antique expert and honorary professor, with few disciples.Jayce Taylor, initially smiling, now looked worriedly at Hailen.Those observing couldn't help but admire Hailen

Mr. Taylor took a deep breath and continued, "Jayce, I think you should go out and learn for a while..."Just as Mr. Taylor was getting to the crucial point, something unexpected happened. A large transparent plastic bag the size of a hand was thrown onto the table in front of Mr. Taylor from a distance.The scene startled everyone present. Who dared to throw something in front of Mr. Taylor?Mr. Taylor's three students all looked towards the person who threw the bag."Happy birthday, a gift for you," Ricard said, gesturing towards the bag.At this moment, nearly everyone in the room widened their eyes in disbelief at Ricard. Who was this man with such audacity?"I say, Jeannie, why didn't you keep an eye on this Ricard? Look at what he's doing!" Karl's mother pounded the table in reproach. Despite her scolding words, her eyes showed a glimmer of amusement. Ricard, you're truly an idiot!"You young man, you're being quite rude, aren't you?" Davis looked at Ricard with displeasure. "Ar

"Oh, it was a bag of tea. I don't know the specifics, just that it's very valuable." Ricard explained, "I once saved some tea pickers stranded on a mountainside. They gave me the tea as a thank-you gift. I remember it being very expensive, so I brought it along since you mentioned visiting the elders.""You're not lying to me, are you?" Jeannie raised an eyebrow, finding Ricard's story hard to believe. Tea given by others could make Mr. Taylor change his mind. It wasn't just valuable anymore."Absolutely not. I swear!" Ricard raised his right hand, extending four fingers, his face earnest.Jeannie stopped at a red light, turning to look at Ricard. His clear eyes met hers, unflinching.Their gazes locked, and Ricard realized that nothing else mattered at that moment. Just being with this girl was the greatest blessing.The light turned green, and a horn honked.Jeannie smiled, stepping on the gas. "You're lucky. That tea must be extremely precious. I'll pay you back later.""No need!"

"It's outrageous!" Marielia hit the steering wheel, causing the horn to blare. "Let's see who these bosses think they are!""Maybe we shouldn't go. I could just quit. Those people have power, and one girl who complained had her house burned down," Jessica said worriedly, clearly frightened by her manager."Quit? Why should you? You worked hard to get into that modeling company. They still owe you money for two shows. Let's see what they do today!" Marielia said angrily, stepping on the gas and speeding towards their destination.Belle, sitting in the back with Ricard, whispered, "Brother-in-law, Jessica's family isn't well off. She pays her tuition herself, so this job is important to her. The company often withholds her salary and now uses this to threaten her."Ricard nodded. "Let's go see. As friends, we should help if we can.""Yes," Belle smiled, feeling reassured with Ricard's support.Osen Club, a well-known seafood restaurant in Mozzafiato, was where they headed. Seafood price

Alian pointed upward. "The top floor of Osen Club has a casino. If you're interested, we can play a few rounds. No need to play big, just buy some chips for fun."Marielia eagerly pulled Jessica upstairs.Alian smiled and led his two friends, along with two heavily made-up female students, up the stairs.Belle, standing in the private room, watched her classmates leave and then turned to Ricard. "Brother-in-law, should I tell them we're going to eat first?"Ricard smiled and shook his head. "It's fine, we can join them."Almost every city has a few hidden casinos in unexpected places, like the one on the top floor of Osen Club. If Alian hadn't told them, they wouldn't have guessed that there was a large casino here.The casino resembled those seen in Hong Kong movies, divided into several areas, totaling over 2,000 square meters, each with different games and stakes ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of yuan. Scantily clad girls in bunny outfits moved about, and wealthy patron

Belle slowly lifted her head from Ricard's chest, her face still wet with tears, and her long eyelashes glistening with them. "Brother-in-law... I... I don't know... I was so scared," Belle whispered, her voice trembling."It's okay, it's over now," Ricard reassured her, stroking her soft hair. "I'll find out who did this."He gestured for Marielia to come over. Though she was also frightened, Marielia was stronger than Belle and Jessica. "Take care of her for me," Ricard said, handing Belle to Marielia. Then he turned to face the group, his voice heavy with authority, "Who touched her?"Ricard's voice, though not loud, carried a weight of command."Boy, do you not understand the situation?" the woman said lazily, stretching. "This is not the time for you to be asking questions.""Who touched her?" Ricard ignored her, focusing his gaze on the burly man closest to Belle.His eyes gleamed with a fierce and murderous intent, a disdain for life. Many military leaders had quivered under Ri

The sudden incident left Jeannie terrified. Even after the bicycle was hit, she hadn’t recovered.Ricard comforted Jeannie and then angrily walked to the driver's seat of the BMW, shouting, "What kind of driving is this? Didn’t you see the red light?""What's the rush? What's the rush?" The car door opened, and the young man stepped out slowly, "I didn't hit anyone. Just compensate you, right? How much do you want? Three thousand yuan enough?"The young man pulled out three thousand yuan from his pocket and threw it on the car's hood. Before Ricard could respond, he added another three thousand: "If it's not enough, here’s six thousand, okay?"Ricard took a deep breath, "This is not about money. I need your attitude, apologize to us!""Apologize? You must be joking. I didn't hit you. You just want money, right? Fine, here's ten thousand yuan. Is that enough?" The young man threw another stack of money on the hood.He then glanced at Jeannie, trying to gauge her reaction, but she didn'

The staff's words made Jeannie unconsciously look at Ricard.Although they had registered their marriage more than a month ago and even took wedding photos, their relationship had always been lukewarm. Now, suddenly being called Ricard's girlfriend, Jeannie's heart skipped a beat, and even the tension of the impending bungee jump was pushed aside."Hey, man, come here. What are you hiding from? Your girlfriend dares to jump, and you're hiding behind her. Come and hold her tightly." The staff urged, waving at Ricard.Of course, Ricard didn't refuse the staff's suggestion to jump while holding Jeannie, cheerfully running over.Jeannie looked at Ricard in front of her, seeming a bit hesitant: "Didn't we buy two separate tickets? Can't we jump one at a time?""That's right, a couple's ticket. Come here and stand firm, put on the equipment, and don't mess around." The staff said while fitting the equipment on Jeannie and Ricard. The eighty-meter-high jump platform had a hot wind blowing in

“Sure.” Ricard didn't hesitate to hand the Coca-Cola to Jeannie.Jeannie looked at the dark carbonated drink in her hand. There were many things she always wanted to try: singing wildly, acting cute like other girls, playing with social media apps, buying her favorite snacks. But due to her family's strict upbringing, she never did anything too extreme. She never went to karaoke to sing loudly, never bought a pile of snacks, never bought a bunch of cold drinks in the summer. She always maintained a calm and mature demeanor, drinking a hot cup of tea at the company every day. Sometimes she would see others with a cold drink and feel a desire to take a sip, but she feared that doing so would shatter the dignified image she had built in front of her employees. Although she appeared to have many things, she had never experienced things that were easily within reach for ordinary people.Like Coca-Cola. When she was young, her family didn't let her touch these carbonated drinks. As she grew

For Ricard, physical endurance wasn’t an issue. Cycling seventy kilometers, even carrying Jeannie, was no problem for him. Along the way, they chatted and laughed, making the time fly by.Two hours passed unnoticed. The midday sun blazed overhead, heating the road. Ricard cycled along the highway, enjoying occasional shade from roadside trees."President Demneri, are you thirsty? I’ll buy us some drinks." Ricard stopped at a roadside stall, buying two cold Coca-Colas."Why Coca-Cola?" Jeannie asked, puzzled.“For the refreshing taste.” Ricard took a gulp, letting out a satisfied “Ah.”“I’ll have water instead.” Jeannie placed the Coke on the counter, opting for a bottle of mineral water.Ricard gallantly opened the bottle for her, and Jeannie took small sips.Ricard could tell Jeannie was very thirsty, but she still drank slowly, a habit from childhood.“Alright, let’s go. Only twenty kilometers left. If I speed up, we can reach Haihu soon and enjoy the afternoon there.”Ricard resume

Ricard heard the cheers and smiled, looking at the woman standing at the microphone with pride. This was his wife, capable and talented! With a few short sentences, she had inspired everyone’s enthusiasm. The employees' attitude towards work could indeed shape the future development of the company.Irena, who had just been fired, had packed her belongings and quietly left through the side entrance of the company. Seeing Maria with a large rose pinned to her chest, standing at the front of the company and receiving praise, made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She had heard everything Jeannie said over the microphone. Five hundred thousand, even split between two, was still two hundred and fifty thousand each! Why should Maria get that money?Irena glared at the company's main entrance with resentment. If it weren’t for Maria and that damned new hire, today’s events wouldn't have involved her!Irena took a deep breath, trying to console herself. Even if Maria got two hundred and fifty

Jeannie chuckled lightly. "In the end, you're still trying to comfort me, but in your own unique way.""Am I? Ha ha." Ricard laughed heartily, ruffling his hair. "Sit down." Jeannie gestured to Ricard.Ricard did not stand on ceremony, sprawling comfortably on the sofa.Jeannie poured him a cup of tea, an unprecedented gesture from her. This act made Ricard feel both pampered and uneasy. "No, no!" Ricard quickly stopped her."What's the matter? Are you mocking me?" Jeannie shot Ricard a sharp look. "A man who can easily get the head of the largest corporation in France to come to Supperazza to sign a contract can’t accept a cup of tea from me?"Ricard gave a wry smile. Initially, he hadn't planned to let Jeannie know about Eugene, but with today's events, including Prince Charles’s presence, there was no way to keep it hidden.After pouring the tea, Jeannie sat down opposite Ricard, lightly rubbing her forehead. "As usual, explain.""Ah… I saved Eugene’s life once, and since then he’s
Spin-off 4: Ricard (117)
When Eugene heard that Jeannie was Ricard's wife, his expression immediately turned respectful. "Lovely lady, forgive me for saying, but you truly are the most beautiful angel I've ever met.""Uncle Eugene is the manager of the Zefiro Group, the largest financial group in France," Prince Charles reintroduced Eugene to Jeannie.Although Prince Charles didn't use flowery language or mention astronomical wealth, saying it was the largest in France was enough for Jeannie to understand the significance of the old man standing before her. A man like this could hardly be someone Ricard found to collude in defrauding the company.Outside the reception room, Naccy and her group waited for the outcome.Jeannie quickly exited the reception room, and they all looked at her, awaiting a response.Jeannie scanned the group and spoke, "Director Naccy, this has been a misunderstanding. Mr. Eugene is indeed the partner Ricard found.""How can that be?" Naccy's first reaction was disbelief. How could so

"Mr. Eugene, please wait. I'll go get Ricard.""No need," Eugene called Maria back. "Ricard entrusted this deal to me. If you don't sign it, I'll refuse to cooperate.""What?""Girl, how your company distributes the bonus between you and Ricard is none of my business. You can discuss it with your boss later. For now, go get the contract."The sudden success of the deal and the enormous bonus were overwhelming for Maria. It took her a while to process it.As Maria left the reception room to get the contract, her face still showed signs of disbelief.Everyone in the business department saw Maria's expression. When she left the reception room, they all started talking."What's wrong? Couldn't close the deal?""She looks like she failed.""She's a rookie trying to handle a deal herself. What did you expect?"Kristy and others showed disdain. "No," Maria waved her hands. "The deal is done. The client agreed to sign the contract.""Signed?" Kristy's eyes widened in disbelief. She knew the v

"Three... hundred thousand?" Maria's eyes glazed over at the number. Her family was ordinary, and her parents had worked hard their whole lives without saving that much money. Three hundred thousand was enough to buy a house in Supperazza, enough for someone unemployed to live comfortably for years, or to buy a BMW. For Maria, three hundred thousand was an unimaginable fortune.Hearing Eugene say that this deal alone could yield a bonus of three hundred thousand made Maria feel like she was dreaming. "Girl, so, will you sign the contract, or do I need to call Ricard?"Maria swallowed hard, stammering, "I... I..."Hearing Maria's response, Eugene felt a bit disappointed. He understood that three hundred thousand might not mean much to him, but it could change an ordinary person's life. With three hundred thousand, they could buy a big house, a luxury car."I... I need to call Ricard and ask him to treat me to a good meal. Three hundred thousand is a lot! Mr. Eugene, please wait a momen
