"Uncle, no matter what, we're still part of a great family. The Lopez family has its own company; we don't have to work here. Let's return and work for our own company." Conrad consoled. "Hmph, what do you know? Can our family's company compare with Pinnacle Dynamics? Do you know how much I've contributed to the Lopez family from this position?" "Now look, I've lost this position because of you two, disrupting the Lopez family's contracts as well. Do you realize how severe the losses are?" Everett's anger was unabated, with no outlet for his frustration, he continued to berate Conrad. Conrad's face was bruised. He understood that his uncle's loss of position was his fault, and the consequences were indeed severe. "Uncle, it's all that terrible Anderson's fault, he cursed you into being fired. I never thought it would actually happen." Conrad tried to shift the blame to Anderson. "Get out! All of you, leave! I don't want to see the likes of you again!" Everett shouted, clearly not
At that moment, a man's voice suddenly came from inside the house: "Lauren, I've heard about your troubles. You have no feelings for him. It was all because of your grandfather's coercion. But he's gone now, and we can change that on the 14th. I will give you a grand wedding on that day, after all, you will divorce him, why not marry me?" Anderson was certain this man was Cameron Miller, intending to propose to Lauren. Unexpectedly, Avery had even brought Cameron to their doorstep! "I've admired you for a long time. I truly love you. I don't mind that you've been married. Marry me!" Miller continued. Worried that Cameron would grow tired of her daughter, Avery quickly explained: "Although my Lauren married a useless guy, they slept separately. Lauren has never let him touch her. She's still a virgin." "Mom, what are you talking about?" Lauren said, embarrassed. "I'm not saying anything wrong, it's the truth. Otherwise, why haven't you been pregnant in these three years? I've known
Anderson suddenly felt a chill. He realized that using force to reveal Cameron's weak nature was pointless, and he let go of his hand. However, Avery and Cameron thought Anderson was afraid of the Miller family and had to let go. "Anderson, if you have any conscience left, don't delay Lauren's marriage any longer, divorce her quickly so everyone can be happy!" Avery said. "There are only 6 days left until the 14th. Can’t you wait these 6 days? On that day, I will make Lauren the most beautiful bride at the grandest wedding, you will be satisfied. After that, if you still want us to divorce, I will have no further objections." Anderson said. "Why do you keep wanting to embarrass us? With your abilities, you can’t do that, know your place!" Avery retorted. "I don’t want to talk more about the wedding. You will see for yourself then." Anderson said, looking disheartened. Avery didn’t have time to worry about Anderson, she was more concerned about Cameron: "Young Master Miller, are yo
Lauren finally breathed a sigh of relief and then knocked on Anderson's door. She rarely entered her husband's room. She and Anderson were only married in name, and they didn't enter each other's rooms without permission. Anderson, hearing the knock, opened the door. "You saw it, it was my mother who brought Cameron here. It has nothing to do with me." Lauren felt the recent incident was disrespectful to Anderson and tried to explain. "I understand, you don’t need to explain that!" Anderson did not expect Lauren to proactively explain this to him. "The news about the wedding you're planning for me has spread too widely. You're making it hard for yourself, walking into a dead end. If you can't do it, even if I don't want to divorce you, my mother and everyone from the Harris family will force us to divorce. You’re running out of time." Lauren said angrily. "Lauren, you have to trust me. On the 14th, I will bring you a big surprise." Anderson seemed very serious. "Today, when the ne
"At this point, sighing is useless. I heard that Pinnacle Dynamics is recruiting a new director for the project development department. If someone from our Harris family can secure this position, we won't have to worry about project issues anymore." "You're right, we have many talented people in our family, everyone should try their luck at that corporation." Caroline said. "Exactly, I'll also give it a shot." Christian added. "Good, I have great confidence in the abilities of our descendants. As long as someone from the Harris family can infiltrate Pinnacle Dynamics, whoever it is will be a hero of our family. Whether we can become a prestigious family depends on that person!" Mr. Harris declared. ... Meanwhile, the Lopez and Miller families were also holding emergency family meetings to devise strategies to cope with the unfavorable situation. Since Conrad had offended a mysterious figure, leading to the dismissal of his uncle Everett and the termination of cooperation with Pin
Caroline and Christian were still outside the corporation building, sneering as they saw Lauren emerge as if in a trance. "I told you so, they wouldn't hire anyone from the Harris family. It's just embarrassing." Christian remarked. "Anderson, I thought you'd predict correctly again, but alas, you miscalculated this time! Dreaming about us begging you? Wake up!" Caroline scoffed mockingly. Then, they abruptly turned and left in their car. Anderson noticed Lauren's dazed state and frowned. Could Hannah have opposed him and recruited someone else? "Lauren, what happened? Weren't you accepted?" Anderson inquired urgently. "I got accepted!" Lauren slowly regained her composure, expressing her excitement. "So, you got in, but you still can't believe it's true, can you?" Anderson was momentarily speechless. "It feels like a dream, unreal." Lauren said. "Great, now that you're in at Pinnacle Dynamics, let's go home and celebrate!" Anderson suggested. "I can start working tomorrow, yo
"Kelly, what’s wrong? You seem surprised..." Lauren asked. "Lauren, are you really taking Anderson to the party?" Kelly was still in shock. "Yes, is there a problem? Can’t I bring my husband to a party?" Lauren queried. "Of course, it’s fine. Everyone brings their loved ones. I’m just surprised; don’t you usually feel embarrassed about him and hide him away at home? Why are you suddenly going out with him today?" Kelly remarked. "I’ve changed my mind about him, don’t worry about it." Lauren said. "Wow, right. It seems this Anderson is quite talented in other aspects!" Kelly commented. "What do you mean? What other aspects?" Lauren genuinely wanted to hear her best friend’s assessment of her husband. "First off, he’s handsome and tall, and his body looks pretty decent. Then look at his deep, melancholic eyes; it feels like they're hiding something." Kelly said. Being a novelist, she had a particularly rich imagination, often imagining those around her as mysterious and significa
Everyone knew Judith had always been at odds with Lauren since university, and she only wanted to flaunt her boyfriend to provoke Lauren. In terms of wealth, Lauren's husband might not be as affluent as Judith's boyfriend, but Lauren's prestigious family background was superior. A Harris family business was stronger than a thousand nightclubs. The comparison seemed somewhat mismatched. Though the Harris family wasn’t the strongest in Lightharbor, being just a second-tier family, this backing was still more solid than anyone else present. Judith didn’t even seem to realize this. Wasn’t she aware of her own shamelessness? Judith's introduction of her boyfriend didn’t garner much reaction, leaving her displeased. After all these years, even when Lauren had fallen into such dire straits, Judith still couldn’t surpass her, which was very frustrating. So, she added: "My boyfriend also owns a lot of guns. In the future, if anyone gets bullied, you can contact me." Hearing this, many peopl
