Chapter 159As Jaxon looked up, he saw a stunning woman approaching him. "Hey, pretty," he replied with a smile, admiring her beauty."I'm Milly Sienna, nice to meet you, Jax," she introduced herself, extending her hand for a handshake.Jaxon accepted her hand graciously, but instead of shaking it, he lifted it to his lips and placed a gentle kiss on it, like a true gentleman.He smiled in response to Milly's introduction. "Nice to meet you, Milly. So, tell me, do you work here?” He asked, flirtingly.“Yes. Marketing department.” She replied.“Marketing, huh? That must be exciting," he remarked, genuinely interested in knowing more about her.He was already imagining having her in his bed already.Milly nodded, a hint of pride in her voice. "Yeah, it's pretty dynamic. I help market EMC to the world at large," she explained, flashing a warm smile."That sounds like an important role, it fits you perfectly because you're too beautiful," Jaxon commented, impressed. “Thanks,” Milly repli
Chapter 160That evening, the whole Carl extended family gathered at Richard Carl's home after hearing about the news of the senior staff members meeting. They were worried about it, and what shocked them the most was that James had sent out the letter for the meeting."James? The once pauper son-in-law to the Carls, now holds a high position, not just any position, but the acting director of finances at EMC? How?" they all wondered.They knew this would spell trouble for them because they were all ghost workers at EMC, from Pa Aaron to Henry Carl, the youngest of the Carls.Urgently, they gathered at Richard Carl's compound, hoping to persuade his daughter Alisha. She was the only one who legitimately worked at EMC. They came to beg her to plead with Mr. Sterling on their behalf.When Alisha saw them, she was really mad and only managed to restrain herself when she heard their request.She felt bad because ever since Richard was paralyzed, none of the extended family members had come
Chapter 161Kate unleashed her frustration on Alisha as soon as they were alone. "How could you embarrass me like that in front of the family? Do you have any idea how important it is for us to keep our positions at EMC?" she scolded, her voice laced with anger.Alisha remained defiant, refusing to back down. "I won't be manipulated by you or anyone else, Mom. I'm tired of pretending everything's fine when it's not. We need to face the truth," she retorted, her tone firm.Kate's frustration only grew at Alisha's defiance. "You're being selfish, Alisha! Do you even care about the family's reputation? About what will happen to us if we lose our positions at EMC?" she countered, her voice rising in frustration.“Don't even go there, Mom.” Alisha stood her ground "I care about doing what's right, Mom. I won't compromise my integrity for the sake of money or status," she declared, "But you, you only care about money and status. Ever since Dad was sick, you haven't been taking care of him b
Chapter 162Kate wasted no time in revealing the news to the rest of the extended family: Williams was a Senior staff at EMC and willing to help them.That night, after the call, Kate rushed down to Pa Aaron's compound and told everyone that Williams had come back and was willing to help them now.Kate's news surprised everyone. Pa Aaron was surprised; it had been a long time since they'd heard from Williams. Williams was related to him through Kate He scratched his head, unsure. "Williams? Haven't heard from him in ages,” he said. “Is he still alive?"“Yea. He's hale and hearty.” Kate replied happily.Ma Pat looked worried. "Is this a good idea, Kate?" she asked quietly.Ma Pat, though not Kate's biological mother, was Pa Aaron's second wife. Kate's mother was his first wife.After Kate's mother divorced Pa Aaron, she remarried and gave birth to William's mother.Unfortunately, Williams' mother passed away, and Kate was the closest relative he had and she took him in. However, every
Chapter 163James had made all preparations for the pre meeting party. He had the EMC party hall decorated beautifully.The EMC party hall was decorated with colorful balloons hanging from the ceiling. Tables were covered with crisp white tablecloths, adorned with floral centerpieces.Fairy lights twinkled around the room, casting a warm glow.A buffet table was set up with an array of delicious appetizers and drinks. The atmosphere was lively, with upbeat music playing in the background.By evening, guests began to arrive, both old and new faces. Among the first were the extended Carl family.The extended Carl family arrived at the party in a group, with Pa Aaron leading the way. He was dressed in a worn-out suit that looked like it had seen better days, paired with scuffed shoes.Ma Pat followed behind him, wearing a flowery dress that seemed out of place for the occasion. She kept adjusting her hair nervously, clearly feeling uneasy.Sophia Carl sauntered in confidently, wearing a
Chapter 164Williams twisted the guy's hand backward, causing him to scream out in pain. "That's not how to treat a lady, even if she's wrong," Williams admonished sternly. He pushed the guy away, and he staggered, falling to the ground.The Carl family looked on in surprise and shock at how mature Williams had become."Did you see that? Williams just saved Sophie's from that moron," Ma Pat whispered to her husband."Yeah, I can't believe he's the same guy who used to get into trouble all the time," Pa Aaron remarked."He's really changed. Look at how composed and confident he is," Ma Pat added.Meanwhile, Williams turned to Sophia. "Are you alright?" he asked, his voice calm but concerned.Sophie nodded, still in disbelief at what had just happened. "Yes, thank you, Williams. You saved me from that goofy head," she said gratefully.Williams smiled modestly. "No problem. Just doing what's right," he replied.He was dressed in a sleek three-piece black suit, exuding an air of sophistic
Chapter 165The party was already in full swing when Kate and Alisha arrived.Alisha was dressed in a simple yet elegant attire, a knee-length black dress with minimal jewelry. Her makeup was subtle, enhancing her natural beauty without being overbearing.In contrast, her mother's attire was much more extravagant. She wore a brightly colored, figure-hugging dress adorned with sequins and jewelry that seemed excessive for the occasion. Her makeup was heavy, with bold colors and exaggerated features.As they approached the entrance, Alisha's temper was tested as her mother fussed over her appearance, which caused them to arrive later than planned.She couldn't help but feel embarrassed by her mother's extravagant attire and time-consuming grooming routine. If it weren't for her sense of duty and respect, she would have left her mother behind and arrived at the party alone with her car.Kate spotted the Carl family and was delighted to see them. She nudged Alisha gently and pointed in th
