Rags to Riches Chapter 278 Removing Vivian From the Childe Family
"What?" Vivian was shocked when she heard about the condition. She had put in a lot of effort to establish V Corporation. The company was only able to succeed because of Vivian's hard work. In fact, V Corporation was about to reach a new level of success. As such, the company had great potential. "Vivian, if you're reluctant to do so, then forget it," Norman said with a shrug. "In that case, I can't do anything to help Marcus. After all, it's very difficult for us to deal with the Pattersons.""Grandpa!" Vivian was frustrated. Evidently, Norman wanted her to hand over V Corporation to the Childes. Vivian made up her mind upon recalling Marcus' situation. She gritted her teeth and nodded. "Fine. You can have it!""You'd better remember what you said! You can't go back on your word now!" Meanwhile, Shirley even took out a piece of paper and pen. She handed them to Vivian and said, "We'll have to write this down in a contract. After Mr. Patterson leaves, we'll transfer the
Rags to Riches Chapter 279 Fix Your Habit of Bragging
Norman and Shirley had five daughters, and all of them had also given birth to females. As such, once a daughter was selected to inherit the Childes' business, she would have to give birth to another child.If that child was still a female, they'd have to change their surname to Childe as well. This was to ensure that the Childe family would be able to continue their bloodline. Now, Lisa was extremely unwilling to let Norman and Shirley remove her family from the Childe family tree. "Since everyone's here, let's start!" Shirley said. Meanwhile, Norman took out the Childe family tree. "Hold on!" Lisa said angrily. She told her parents, "Mom and Dad, according to our family rules, a family can only be removed from the family tree if they committed a grave error. What sort of atrocious crime did we commit for you to resort to striking us off the family tree so ruthlessly?""Seriously? Would you need to ask?" Howard snorted. He added, "Vivian was persuaded by an outsider to l
Rags to Riches Chapter 280 Bad News in Succession
There were quite a few members of the Childe family. All of them headed to V Corporation's headquarters in luxury cars. When Norman showed the documents regarding the change of equity to the receptionist, she started behaving extremely politely to him. Then, she led the Childe family to the president's office and even served them tea. "Wow, it seems that Vivian has taste!" Howard sat on the sofa and drank his tea. He was extremely happy. "No matter how tasteful she is, this place will belong to us from now on!" Brad said merrily.Meanwhile, Norman sat in Vivian's office chair. He assumed a majestic air. "Mom and Dad!" In the meantime, Yvette, who linked up businesses with the company, spoke up happily. "Currently, V Corporation is developing the ecological garden project on the outskirts of Northfort. This is heavily supported by the Northfort City Council.""Moreover, many investors funded the project. Once we take over this, we'll be able to earn a lot in the future!"

"You shouldn't bully us for your lack of knowledge about Merania's laws. Since you've taken over V Corporation, you are the boss of this company. Our project payment has to be given by you then.""If you dare to default on our salaries, we'll stay here today. No one would be able to leave this place after that!""Give us the money!"The construction crew was agitated. Their voices grew louder and louder. Meanwhile, the passersby near them were attracted by the noise and looked at them."Norman, we can't let them continue this ruckus!" Shirley said worriedly. "If this issue isn't solved properly, there will be trouble. Childe Group's reputation would be harmed!""What should we do?" Norman started to panic. Shirley sighed, then replied, "Ask them how much the project payment costs. If it isn't too much, we can just pay them first!"She added, "The longer this conflict goes on, the less favorable our situation will be!""This is the only way then!" Norman replied with a nod.
Rags to Riches Chapter 282 The Childes Must Beg Us
"Hello! Is this Marcus?" Immediately, Norman recognized the other party's voice. Although he looked down on him, he was in a dire situation. As such, Norman could only put aside his pride and say while smiling, "It's Gramps!"He said, "I called to tell everyone the good news! Our family has decided to add you back into the Childe family tree!""Is that so?" Marcus laughed coldly. He shook his head and replied, "I'm sorry, but we're not interested."After that, he hung up.This dazed Norman for a while. When he came to his senses, he said angrily, "He's just a useless son-in-law who married into the family. How dare he hang up on me?""This is unreasonable! He's too arrogant!" Shirley remarked. "Mom and Dad, calm down!" Just then, Howard hurriedly said, "We have to concede since we're in an unfavorable situation. Since we need his help now, we'll have to bear with it. We'll deal with him in the future!""That's right!" Norman replied with a nod. "If we're too impatient, we'

"Not much. It's just 50 million dollars!" The person showed five fingers to Norman."50 million dollars?" Norman fainted instantly. The Childes panicked and hurriedly helped him up. After a while, Norman gradually woke up. "Mr. Childe Senior, it's useless for you to play possum!" The visitor smirked. "If you don't return this investment to our company, the Northfort City Council will deal with you even before we sue you."He added, "This project is very important to them. If a problem occurs, it'll affect their reputation among the citizens! They would never allow this to happen!" "Stop trying to scare us using the Northfort City Council!" Since Howard was an insider in this industry, he had more experience than his other family members. As such, he wasn't willing to give them 50 million dollars so easily. In fact, once Polly's family inherited the Childe family's properties, the 50 million dollars would go to Howard and his family. Howard sneered, "Do you think that I wo
Rags to Riches Chapter 284 Tricking the Childes
"I got it, Marcus!"After hanging up, Donald approached the Childes once more. He waved his hand and said, "Please leave. Marcus doesn't know you all, and wants you to scram!"When they heard the man's words, everyone stared at one another. "How unreasonable!" Norman was furious. "I'm your grandfather!""What do you mean?" Immediately, Donald became unhappy. He retorted furiously, "Who do you think you are?" "I'm sorry, sir!" Norman knew that Donald had misunderstood him. He quickly explained, "I wasn't referring to you!""I don't care whose grandfather you are!" The bodyguard looked serious. "We don't welcome you here. If you don't leave, don't blame me for using force on you!"Beside him, Mark looked as if he was prepared to fight the Childes. "Please don't misunderstand us, sirs! We aren't here to pick a fight." Norman thought for a while before saying, "Sir, we had a conflict with Marcus. However, we've cleared those misunderstandings already. Now, we're here to bring hi
Rags to Riches Chapter 285 Sparrowheart
Elijah continued, "In order to commend Marcus' great work at Phisteele Corporation, we've decided to send him as our representative to bid for the tender. Moreover, he's allowed to bring a family member with him!"The meaning was obvious.Elijah meant that Marcus could bring Vivian along to participate in the event."Mr. Steele, I—" Vivian spoke up.The other party interrupted her. "Don't reject me yet, Ms. Lorimer. This is a staff benefit for Phisteele Corporation's best employee. After the auction, you can vacation at Sparrowheart for a few days. In fact, I approved of this personally!"Just then, Marcus arrived. Though Elijah almost addressed him politely, he stopped when Marcus looked at him."Mr. Steele, what good news are you two discussing?" Marcus asked pleasantly. "Did you know about this, honey?" Meanwhile, Vivian was extremely excited. She told Marcus, "Mr. Steele said that you were the best employee in Phisteele Corporation. He decided to send you to Sparrowheart

Sean nodded in agreement. "Exactly. Alan and the others really can't adapt. Why bring military rules into everything else?"Wallace glanced at Sean and said, "Of course, Marcus can earn my respect if he can demonstrate the strength that commands it."Sean shook his head. "I find that unlikely. Take the bet, for instance. If he can really break past the Colemans' gates a year from now, maybe we can respect him."Wallace sneered. "With just that? Does he even deserve our respect for that?"Breaking past the Colemans' gates is just the beginning."To earn our respect, he has to make it onto the Meranian Wolf List!""Meranian Wolf List?" Sean's eyes lit up.In the Meranian military, the Meranian Wolf List was a reflection of a soldier's strength. Those who made the list were undoubtedly individuals with exceptional powers. The higher the rank, the stronger the individual.Among the top 50 on the Meranian Wolf List were figures feared by enemy nations. Even Chief Commander Wal

The air in the private room was thick with the scent of cold sweat.It took a good ten minutes before Alan finally spoke. "It truly defies my imagination! The bastard son despised by Mr. Coleman Senior has turned out to be Merania's guardian, the commander-in-chief!"Zakir nodded in agreement. "Mr. Coleman Senior was right. The commander-in-chief is indeed a member of the Colemans! It's ridiculous. Mr. Coleman Senior went to great lengths to uncover the commander-in-chief's true identity and background, not knowing that the commander-in-chief is his own son!""This matter must be kept absolutely confidential. Under no circumstances should we reveal the commander-in-chief's true identity to Mr. Coleman Senior. Otherwise, the five of us will not only ruin our future but may also spend the rest of our lives behind bars!" Al

I'm afraid that the reason they invited us to dinner all of a sudden is because...."Marcus smiled as if the situation didn't bother him. "Are you worried they might have ulterior motives? Don't worry. Let's just agree to their invitation. It's just dinner!"Vivian was speechless at Marcus' response. Those people were part of the Colemans.It was clear that they were targeting Marcus. And yet, he was deliberately walking into the lion's den.Although the Colemans held a prestigious position as the top ancient family in Merania, people without a certain status did not qualify to even hear about them.

This also highlighted that Marcus' realm far surpassed that of the Colemans, who claimed to be the top ancient family for a millennium. Alan and the others returned to their line respectfully.Marcus surveyed the group with a serious expression. "The technique I'm about to teach you is a special art of breathing. "Although it looks simple, mastering its essence will take at least a year. "Of course, as elite individuals carefully cultivated by your respective families, I believe you can grasp the basics in just a month."The excitement was evident on the faces of the individuals upon hearing what Marcus said. The commander-in-chief was personally teaching them a special art.It was a big opportunity for those eager to level up. After all, the commander-in-chief was all-powerful and mighty.

The individuals all listened attentively as Marcus began his class. They appeared respectful and eager to learn. Marcus extended four fingers and said, "Before we officially start the lesson, I'd like to give you a lesson in morals. The name of this lesson shall be 'Respect for Teachers and Esteem for Morality.'"Marcus signaled Edwin and Leona to fetch a small blackboard. Marcus held the chalk and wrote the words, "Respect for Teachers and Esteem for Morality." His movements were powerful."Indeed, you all have what it takes to be proud due to your strengths, for you are all invincible in your respective regions. However, you came to Dragon Training Camp to seek breakthroughs and receive guidance at a higher level."Marcus surveyed the crowd and said, "But no matter how strong you all are, you should respect the instructor who guides you."Each of you is exceptionally intelligent.

"Yes! He must prove himself. Otherwise, I'm not convinced!""He dares to disregard the Meranian Wolf List top 100. If he can actually demonstrate such abilities, I'll pretend I never heard those words!"As Alan spoke, the others responded in agreement.Chad added, "It might be difficult for him to surpass every member of the Meranian Wolf List top 100, but at least he should have the qualifications to be among them, right?"The group noticed that Marcus remained silent, and their arrogance increased.Zakir was amused. "What's the matter? Are you backing down? In life, you need to follow the rules and not spout nonsense! "Don't act all big if you don't have what it takes!"Just then, Marcus spoke up.

I didn't respond immediately because I was considering how to demonstrate my strength."After all, weaklings like you have never witnessed a true spectacle."To Marcus, these individuals were nothing but weaklings.

Alan and the others heard what Marcus said, and a playful expression appeared on their faces.How dare this kid challenge them?Alan squinted and said, "You can be our instructor, but you'll have to display enough strength to convince us."You probably can't reach the level of Merania's Four Gunlords and Gary."But you should at least reach the level of the Eight Warriors, right?"The others looked on with a look of expectation.They all looked at Marcus with mocking eyes.Chad, who was on the side, said, "Alan, how about we set a standard for this kid? Only those recognized by the members of the Meranian Wolf List are qualified to be our instructor!""Right!"
