2024-10-29 19:42:56The attitude of the partygoers became increasingly outrageous. Gregory couldn't stand the snobbish and disdainful attitude of the crowd and handed the jewelry box to Anderson, saying: "I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Gregory Thompson, CEO of the Eclipse Prestige branch in Lightharbor city. Since Young Master Anderson purchased the Aurora Luxe necklace and paid immediately, I had to arrange for a quick delivery. Furthermore, as Young Master Anderson is an acquaintance of the chairman, I came to deliver and receive the item."
"Alright, no need to say more. I've signed and confirmed it, you can go back." Anderson emphasized sternly, as if scolding Gregory for talking too much.
Gregory, realizing he had intervened too much, quickly said,
"Thank you, Young Master Anderson." Gregory Thompson finished speaking and turned to leave.
At that moment, a chilling silence enveloped the room, everyone present was stunned. It took them a while to recover from their astonishment.
"Clap clap clap..." – A round of applause rang out.
Applause rang out, a sound Anderson had received numerous times at the height of his glory, but this was the first time at the Harris household, making him anything but happy; in fact, it was quite uncomfortable. Could it be that they changed their attitude just because he knew the chairman of Eclipse Prestige, someone whose name he didn't even know? Perhaps Gregory Thompson said that just to help him.
As Anderson was wondering, a voice exclaimed: "Great performance! You deserve a high score for that! Listen to that loud applause, you've earned it!"
Anderson froze for a moment. What was happening?
"Hic... I'm trying so hard not to laugh, I might hurt myself... Haha..." Christian couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Haha... Knowing the chairman of Eclipse Prestige, do you even realize how influential that person is in this area to claim acquaintance!" Conrad couldn't stop laughing.
"Anderson, your acting is excellent, it's a pity you didn't become an actor!"
"That well-dressed man even acted better. How much did you pay him? Even the suit he wore looked so real. Where did you buy it?"
"Can't even get a decent job, pretending to be wealthy, buying expensive jewelry, claiming to know the chairman of a major jewelry corporation. Oh my, can someone help me stop laughing?"
Nobody believed what Gregory and Anderson had just said; it was too exaggerated. They all felt that Anderson, having been the butt of jokes for years, had deliberately staged this performance to change their perception of him. The result would only backfire and make them despise him more!
"Anderson, are you trying to kill me with frustration?" Lauren couldn't take it anymore.
Just now, when she saw Anderson and Gregory acting so realistically, she almost believed it was true. But after hearing everyone say it was just a play, she woke up from a dream, realizing Anderson had staged this fake play to regain his honor. This made her even more disappointed in Anderson. Even knowing the truth, she wanted to pretend to believe him. But he was just deceiving her.
"..."
Anderson remained silent, unable to explain. Perhaps for them, it was only about themselves, and he was just a dog, unable to utter trustworthy words: "I just wanted to give Lauren's grandmother a gift, whether she accepts it or not is up to her."
"Ridiculous! How arrogant! Next time, no strangers will be allowed here. What if they steal something? Our Harris household isn't a place where just anyone can come and go!"
"Sorry, let me laugh a little longer, haha..."
"Haha... I'm about to die laughing!"
"Anderson, you should change your name to Anderson the Boaster, it would suit you better! Haha..."
Everyone continued to laugh loudly. Anderson, no longer in the mood to stay, placed the gift on the table and silently stood up to leave. However, a mishap occurred at that moment.
As Anderson turned, he was unaware of Caroline's dog under his feet. He accidentally stepped on her pet! The dog yelped loudly under Anderson's unintentional step. Caroline was furiously enraged at seeing her dog being trampled.
"You lowly vermin, are you blind? Did you intentionally step on my dog, aiming to kill it, just to provoke me?" Caroline berated Anderson, even throwing the gift box at him!
Anderson, hearing the swoosh behind him, instinctively turned around and swatted it away!
"Thud!"
The gift box shattered, the Aurora Luxe necklace from Eclipse Prestige spilled out, its diamonds scattering on the floor. Anderson couldn't believe that just because he accidentally stepped on a dog, Caroline would throw something at him! Was he really less valued than a dog in the Harris household?
Anderson could have endured it as usual, but this time, he was truly furious!
Suddenly, a deadly glare flashed in Anderson's eyes, fixating coldly on Caroline. Many who were still laughing at Anderson's previous act suddenly fell silent.
Anderson's eyes turned icy, filled with a chilling and deadly aura. Everyone who saw that look was terrified, and they shivered, instinctively recoiling. No one could have imagined that the usually indifferent and tolerant son-in-law would suddenly erupt in anger.
At that moment, Lauren yelled at Caroline's face: "Caroline, you've gone too far! Anderson is still your brother-in-law, how could you think of hitting him? And now the necklace is ruined."
"It's just fake, why do you care?"
"It's the thought that counts. Grandmother hasn't even spoken yet, what right do you have to throw the gift away?"
Seeing Caroline strut away without a word, Lauren was genuinely intolerable. Although she didn't like Anderson, she couldn't just stand by and not educate her cousin. Even though theirs was a loveless marriage, Anderson had been with her for a year, doing laundry, cooking, and handling all household chores.
Even if one raises a dog for three years, they would grow attached to it, let alone a person. Even if it wasn't love, there were still other emotions involved.
"You saw it, sister, your husband stepped on my dog. He deserves to be punished, or he will continue to behave this way. He even wanted to hit me." Caroline complained bitterly and rudely.

Lauren's brilliance had always overshadowed her since childhood, and as Lauren was always more beloved by their grandfather, Caroline harbored jealousy and hatred towards her sister. It was only a year ago that Lauren had to marry Anderson, a poor and useless man from a bankrupt family, and with their grandpa's death, Lauren's status in the family declined, giving Caroline a chance to seize the spotlight. "It depends on who the owner is. Even if Anderson were a dog, he would still be my dog. It's not your place to lecture him!" Lauren retorted. Anderson looked at Lauren in surprise. It was the first time in three years she had taken his side. Although her words were not pleasant, Anderson was deeply moved. "Oh, look at the owner of the dog, we have to see if the owner's status is worth showing up for!" Caroline, having just signed a lucrative contract, didn't bother to consider Lauren's feelings. "You..." Lauren, angry, her face flushed with emotion. "Alright, it was just an accid

After a while, everyone regained their composure and burst into laughter. "What's this joke now? He alone plans to organize a wedding?" "Wow, I bet he'll slaughter a huge cow for his wedding, I'm already drooling at the thought!" "The poor thing can't even afford a wedding ring, yet dares to say he'll organize a wedding a hundred times grander than ours?" "Just look, Lauren has been married for so long, but she doesn't even have a wedding ring to wear." "She'll become a bride again, just divorce this useless man and marry someone else. She's so beautiful, she'll definitely have opportunities. Otherwise, she'll just wait for the rest of her life." "By the way, my boss, Young Master Miller, has long fancied Lauren. If she really wants to be a bride, she can divorce him and remarry Young Master Miller." Conrad mocked and pointed towards Young Master, who had just invited Ye Tao for a drink. Hearing everyone's scornful laughter, Lauren's face turned red, then pale, and she wanted to

Lauren was so angry she was speechless. The man who couldn’t even pay his phone bill was boasting about organizing a grand wedding in Lightharbor? Without a word, she angrily handed her phone to Anderson. He took the mobile, went to a corner, and dialed a number listed by the system. This was the number of Fernando Lewis, his grandfather, and also one of the top three most powerful people in the country. Not to mention a small city like Lightharbor, even the whole country could be easily influenced with just a flick of his hand. Meanwhile, at the Lewis residence in Rose Quay city. A man in his seventies was leisurely reviewing a list, appearing both relaxed and dignified. This man was Fernando Lewis, the head of the Lewis family, and a significant influencer in Ivory Essence. Suddenly, his phone rang. He was quite surprised, as no one had called this mobile number in recent years. He only kept it in the hope that his daughter, who had been missing for over twenty-five years, might

"No need, I want to take things slowly. If I suddenly stand too high, it won't win people's hearts." Anderson said. "Alright, tomorrow, you will surely become the chairman of that corporation." Mr. Lewis said. For people like Mr. Lewis, with global achievements, even if his grandson wanted the entire city of Lightharbor, it wouldn't be a problem. But surprisingly, he only wanted a small corporation! "Second, on the 14th of this month, prepare a grand wedding for me in Lightharbor." Anderson began stating his second condition. “Who are you marrying?” "Three years ago, when I got married, it's a pity I didn’t have a wedding then. The 14th this month is my anniversary with Lauren Harris. I want her to be truly happy that day, so I will organize a wedding for her." Anderson said. "Can I attend then?" Mr. Lewis asked, appearing smaller and more humble than ever. It was evident that even a boss like him could seem so diminished in front of his grandson, clearly showing his deep love fo

The next morning, a sensational piece of news spread through Lightharbor City. Pinnacle Dynamics, the largest corporation in Lightharbor, had been acquired by a mysterious owner for a staggering price of 100 billion USD! Pinnacle Dynamics underwent a change of ownership, with the original chairman stepping down and handing over the company to a young talent. This news set off a buzz throughout Lightharbor, with all the major families speculating about the identity of this business giant. When Anderson woke up, he received a message from his grandfather saying that everything had been arranged smoothly and asking him to take over Pinnacle Dynamics. The night before, after buying a new phone, he had sent a message to Mr. Lewis about this new number, so it was not surprising to receive a text from him. But the fact that a seventy-year-old man texted instead of calling showed a certain distance, unfamiliarity with this grandson who had fallen from the sky. Anderson didn't rush to take

The President's office of Pinnacle Dynamics Corporation is situated on the top floor, and Anderson took the direct elevator to the topmost level. Upon the elevator doors opening, Anderson immediately saw a woman of elegant demeanor, porcelain skin, a tall and slender figure standing beautifully outside the elevator, waiting. This woman was Hannah Allen, the CEO of Pinnacle Dynamics. Fernando Lewis had previously informed Hannah Allen, the CEO, that the new President wished to keep his identity secret and didn't want it widely known, so top personnel should not be present. Only Hannah was waiting on the top floor for the new President's arrival, having waited for quite some time. When Anderson emerged from the elevator, she was momentarily stunned. She had never imagined that the new President of Pinnacle Dynamics would be the notoriously useless son-in-law of the Harris family! She had made numerous guesses about this mysterious new mogul, but Anderson? He was someone with no good re

What Everett valued wasn't the salary of the Director of Project Development, but the influence and status of this position! Never underestimate the power of this managerial role, as its potential could bring limitless benefits to his family. Whenever Pinnacle Dynamics had any new projects, he could prioritize his own family. It's fair to say that being ranked at the top among the major families of Lightharbor was closely related to his position. At last night's party, the people from the Harris family were right. Any family could soar high if they had even a small connection with Pinnacle Dynamics Corporation. How many families had to bow before Pinnacle Dynamics, the emperor of Lightharbor's business district? Now, with Everett removed from his position and Pinnacle Dynamics suspending cooperation with the Lopez family, how could he not be devastated? And the reason for his dismissal was just because he had signed a contract with the Harris family, and his grandson had insulted

"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

Gregory explained."So, it's about that. But I'm just a man who's been at war all year round, what does that have to do with me?" Anderson asked."It does! It's directly related to you.

Lauren whispered, regretting her slip of the tongue."The underworld or hired goons are unreliable, don't be deceived by them." Anderson said, starting to sweat. The Sentry Dragon Warrior was right in front of her, and she was still thinking of hiring assassins?"I'm just worried that if you keep acting rashly like you did this afternoon, you'll find yourself in danger sooner or later. Hiring assassins is the best way to both get revenge and avoid those bad situations." Lauren argued, clearly unhappy with Anderson's disapproval."Don't worry about revenge. This place is full of villains. You never know when you might be deceived. Hiring assassins really isn't a good idea!" Anderson said calmly."Fine! Then I won't interfere in this matter anymore.
