"Please ring up these items for me."On scorching summer days like this, convenience stores are still an excellent choice for many people. The line of customers waiting to pay was long and continuous. The young man at the cash register was swiftly tallying up the purchases, his movements incredibly fast, with constant beeping sounds. At the same time, a bright smile always adorned his face, and the phrase "Welcome to 10&3" was ready to greet each customer who walked in.Just then, another young man emerged from the changing room, apparently also an employee of 10&3, and had just finished changing into his uniform. He approached the cashier and said, "It's my shift now, Edward. Take a break.""Okay," Edward replied, glancing at his watch while switching positions with the new arrival. It was precisely one o'clock in the afternoon, and he had to hurry to the Winmart mini supermarket to make it in time for his shift from two in the afternoon until ten in the evening."Running another sho
Mr. Benson couldn't help but chuckle. Assuming that Edward will be the next president of the corporation, that will certainly be a matter of decades later. Wait until he retreats then Edward can sit there. How could these high-ranking old men agree? They will not allow anyone to touch their economy!“Edward, how do you feel. Goreng Group I will return it to you but first you must show us your ability. First of all, there is still a vacant position of CEO, you just sit there for a while. Wait until you have enough experience and knowledge, this chair will be yours." That's right, if Edward wants to sit here, he has to wait and he doesn't know how long! A kid who's not clean yet wants to fight with him? It's true that I don't know how to measure myself.The scenario in front of Edward had already been calculated. If it were him, he wouldn't let a blind newbie sit in that chair. However, if he had planned it, how could he make a mistake!“Are you sure that President Benson has not made a
The day for the Goreng Group's shareholders' meeting has finally arrived. This general meeting may be an opportunity for some people and also a time for many people to be put down.Edward finished preparing everything early in the morning. All the important documents you collected will come into play at this time. At exactly seven o'clock Edward showed up at the company, following behind him was McKay. Seeing Edward entering the meeting room, many people looked towards him and chatted.“Is that Mr. Swan's son-in-law? Why is he here?”"I heard that he just married Mr. Swan's daughter yesterday, and he's already sitting here today. This Swan family really doesn't care about anyone!"“Mr. Swan, why is your son-in-law here? Although he was appointed last time, he is still just a small fry, and Edward is only in his early twenties, so sitting on the same table with us is a bit unreasonable." A high-rise turned to mock Mr. Swan. She didn't say it directly to Edward, of course it wasn't that
In the hospital room Emily stared at the documents on the table.“Sorry dad, I have no other choice.”After Emily finished speaking, she took the documents and walked out of the room. She made a phone call to someone, looking extremely sneaky. Emily stopped at the hospital gate, a young man around twenty or twenty five years old was waiting there“Deliver this document to the address I wrote above. Remember, don't let anyone see it."" Yes."The young man took the documents and put them in the trunk and drove away.Emily still stood there, silently watching the silhouette of the car leaving. This may be the most difficult and risky decision of her life.What the young man held in his hand was something she wished for day and night, but now she had to give it to someone else.It's a pity to give it, but to hold it in your hand will burn you.At the same time, Edward was sitting in the room when he received a strange phone call.He looked at the number running on the screen and finall
“Everything…everything you said is true?” Mrs. Sherwood looked up at Emily, how could she believe this nonsense? In Mrs. Sherwood's mind, Edward was just a useless, weak stepchild of her husband. As the type of shy person who doesn't dare to do anything, Emily now firmly affirms that Edward is the one behind everything, how can she accept this.“At this point you still don't believe it? I saw him calling and threatening you with my own eyes! You can't imagine how scary his eyes were at that time!”Mrs. Sherwood's hands kept shaking and she was sweating profusely. If Edward could act for so long then surely he had everything planned out. Today it could be Mr. Hamza, but tomorrow we don't know who it will be. Not to mention, if Emily says it, Edward holds evidence that Jasper raced when he was under eighteen, as well as that Jasper is not a Mr. Sherwood's biological son. If one day he wants his mother to reunite with Mr. Sherwood, then the possibility of him revealing those secrets is v
“Damn, I didn't expect things to turn out like this!” Emily stomped her foot on the floor, just thinking about what happened today made her angry. I don't know what those news hunters will write after today! I'm afraid the whole town knows how humiliating she was kicked out of the wedding.Emily said she was going to see the doctor to ask about Jasper's condition, but her mind was no longer on her younger brother Jasper. She tried to talk about the wedding today but couldn't do it! Whether she closes her eyes or opens her eyes, stands or sits, she remembers that. This is the most humiliating thing in her life!“You bastard, an unloved illegitimate child, what the hell are you!”Emily kept cursing, then suddenly her eyes fell on a familiar figure.Not far from where she stood was a man about forty-five or fifty years old, dark skin, wearing old clothes, carrying a bag of old clothes in both hands and asking for directions."It's...it's..." Emily seemed frozen in place. She hasn't seen
“I also don’t know what my family has created in the end! My younger brother is so virtuous that he wouldn’t even dare to step on an ant, yet...” Edward spoke while making a face like a crying cat. He spoke as if he cared a lot for Jasper, and his family was thrilled.Mr. Hamza became increasingly panicked, holding onto Edward’s sleeve and shaking it incessantly. His eyes were bloodshot.“So, how’s Jasper? How is the kid? Please, tell me! Have you found someone with a compatible blood type now? Please, please tell me,” Mr. Hamza urgently pleaded, almost kneeling down and begging Edward to tell him about Jasper.By now, Edward was sure about 90% of his speculations. If there was no connection with Jasper, why would Mr. Hamza be so desperate? If it was because Jasper was Mrs. Sherwood’s child, it wouldn’t make much sense. The relationship between Mr. Hamza and Mrs. Sherwood was over ten years ago, and there couldn’t be any lingering feelings, especially since Mrs. Sherwood had her own f
“Okay, let me go prepare a bit,” McKay said before leaving the office. At this point, only Edward remained in the room.Edward stared intensely at the picture of Mr. Hazam in the document file. Stating that he didn’t resemble the person was an understatement. Just by looking at his face, Edward could be almost eighty percent sure that his assumptions were correct.“I will show you what divine punishment feels like!” His gaze turned demonic. The Sherwood family had brought pain to him and his mother, and he intended to reciprocate. He remembered the insignificant memories vividly.Eleven years ago, when he was still a carefree young master, he was suddenly ousted, losing everything in a single day. The one who did it was none other than his father, who always pretended to love and dote on him. The affection shown over the years was nothing but a façade. What his father desired wasn’t a family with him and his mother, as he often claimed. The only thing he wanted was money. He knew how
“Okay, I believe you.” Mrs. Goreng ultimately chose to believe her son. She saw sincerity in his eyes. Furthermore, he could lie to her but Olivia couldn't, Olivia had no reason to cover for him. Emily lied to her about Edward dropping out of school, so she could also lie to her about other things.Edward could now smile. The person he doesn't want to hurt the most in the world is Mrs. Goreng.“Thank you, thank you for trusting me.”“Okay, let's go inside. Your bride is still waiting for you.”" Okay." After Edward finished speaking, he turned around and left. Mrs. Goreng believed her, and he was also a little more relieved.Behind her, Mrs. Goreng's eyes were always thoughtfully watching her son. Even though she didn't say it out loud, her heart was filled with countless things right now. Somehow, every time she faced Edward, she felt more strange. I don't know if it's because she thinks too much or her son has really changed.Edward returned to the wedding room, Felicia was waiting
Mr. Sherwood looked down at the girl kneeling in front of him, crying. Although he and Emily did not have any father-daughter relationship, after all, they lived under the same roof for more than ten years, and Emily was also his wife's daughter. Not to mention, if he let Edward punish Emily in front of the guests now, he wouldn't know where to put his face. What's wrong with a foolish child? Who says Emily is still your daughter in name?“Edward, I know what Emily did is difficult to forgive, but please respect her as your older sister, please forgive her just once.” Mr. Sherwood threw away all his honor and humbled himself to beg Edward. At this point, he did not know what to do but rely on Edward. He only hoped that he would soften his heart and forgive this daughter of his.Edward still did not speak, he looked painfully at Mr. Sherwood. It's not unfair to say he's stupid. Even at this point, he still begs you to spare that daughter who isn't related by blood... What he does is on
