How will the revenge plan against Jeff and Janet unfold?Edward was still contemplating how to create a big surprise for them.He was also about to organize an online interview on the company's secure software to hire an assistant for himself. However, at that moment, he suddenly received a phone call from Mr. Benson."Hello, Mr. Benson."Edward was still enjoying his current life, sitting in front of his desk and reviewing the CVs of the applicants while using the company's exclusive software to verify the accuracy of the information and evaluate each candidate more deeply.From the other end of the line, Mr. Benson's voice sounded."Good evening, Edward. Have you settled into your current life?"Mr. Benson asked, showing his concern. In reality, Edward was adaptable and felt that this life was meant for him. So when he returned to this house, it felt like two puzzle pieces finding each other to form a complete picture. Therefore, there was no issue, of course. But Edward couldn't sa
Edward looked up and saw a cheerful company employee standing before him, with a young man in a suit standing behind her. At that moment, Edward glanced around and noticed several empty seats. He couldn't understand why the man didn't sit in those seats but instead asked him to give up his spot.However, that was a minor issue for Edward. He wasn't one to be petty or selfish. To him, giving up a seat to avoid trouble was worth it. Moreover, he wanted to avoid attracting attention at this moment. He was focused on another important matter. So, he stood up and moved to another seat.Just as Edward had settled into his new seat, the man, before sitting down, unexpectedly pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the chair. This action caught Edward's attention, and as he looked over, he saw the man taking a bottle of disinfectant spray from his pocket and continuously spraying the seat. He then used a lot of tissue paper to wipe it before casually throwing it on the floor next to a nearby tras
Edward looked at the other person, wanting to see what he was up to. At that moment, the guy suddenly opened TikTok and hit the live stream button.This was an action that Edward could never have anticipated. People around him were equally shocked, and some employees from the Goreng Corporation tried to stop him, but he pushed them aside, even causing a female employee to fall to the ground while she was wearing high heels, and the fall seemed to have hurt her badly.Edward couldn't stand idly by anymore; he approached and helped the female employee up while the man continuously pointed his phone at him and said, "Everyone, watch this! Look at this man, using counterfeit products and still daring to act big here. We must speak up, change the brand, and demand justice."Edward looked at the increasing number of viewers on the man's phone screen and thought enough was enough. He had wanted to be accommodating and avoid confrontation, but now it seemed this was his only choice. He wouldn
Edward recognized this voice; it was Mr. Benson's voice. He arrived just in time. Edward glanced at his watch; he was ten minutes late for the appointment. Of course, he wasn't overly concerned about punctuality, but Mr. Benson's tardiness was somewhat suspicious and made others doubt him.At this very moment, while Edward was still contemplating, Mr. Benson walked up to him, and to Edward's surprise, Mr. Swan and Felicia were with him. Edward furrowed his brows, wondering why Mr. Benson and Felicia would appear together. Wasn't the purpose of Mr. Benson calling him to the company to hand over work and introduce his assistant? What was he up to?Not only Mr. Swan but Felicia too—quite peculiar. Though Edward didn't know the purpose of Mr. Benson bringing them along, it heightened his wariness towards him.Seeing Mr. Benson and Felicia together escalated Edward's cautiousness even more. At this point, Director Getman was happy to see Mr. Benson, as people in illusions and despair often
"What on earth!?" exclaimed Mr. Swan in shock upon hearing Edward's words. He had expected Edward to at least kneel and apologize or, at the very least, remain silent and listen to his scolding, but he never imagined Edward's response would be so contrary. Mr. Swan couldn't believe what he had just heard; no one had dared to speak to him in such a manner, especially someone like Edward. It was genuinely disrespectful!"You're wrong, and yet you show such a defiant attitude. Do you... do you even believe that I...""What do you intend to do to me? Fire me from here? Or cancel the wedding? Or perhaps spread rumors about me online?" Edward scoffed and then wanted to walk away."Truly laughable! Nowadays, there are indeed many people who dislike looking in the mirror."Edward couldn't hold back any longer, and he had no reason to restrain himself; there was no one here for him to pretend for. As for people like Mr. Swan, Edward didn't feel the need to hold back when they didn't respect him
But Edward quickly averted his gaze and turned to leave. He had no intention of staying here any longer. What did Mr. Swan and Felicia plan to do with him? Consider him a genuinely favored person. Come here to work? While Mr. Benson had initially said, he was here to introduce an assistant to Edward and get him acquainted with the company.Indeed, in this world, at times, one couldn't trust anyone, not even themselves.As Edward walked near the company's entrance, a sudden voice rang out, "Edward." He didn't need to turn around to know that Mr. Benson was approaching from behind. He wondered what trick the cunning old fox had this time. Nonetheless, he stopped."Why are you leaving?" Mr. Benson asked."Leaving? Why not?" Edward replied indifferently."Why? What's the reason?" Mr. Benson asked again, seemingly unaware of the real cause and displaying a thick-skinned attitude. Edward was more than willing to oblige if he liked thick-skinned behavior."I have something to do, so I'm leav
Edward arrived at the hospital, and first, he met with the doctor to inquire about his mother's condition. After learning that his mother's health had stabilized and she was only awaiting recovery to go home, Edward felt a sense of relief. Then, he proceeded to his mother's hospital room.However, he didn't rush to visit her immediately; he waited for Mr. Benson to arrive.Standing outside the hospital room, Edward looked inside and saw his mother lying on the hospital bed, being cared for and given a general check-up by the nurses. Her demeanor was alert now; she could move her arms and legs and even engage in conversation. This reassured Edward greatly.At that very moment, he suddenly heard a noise behind him. It was the sound of footsteps. Amidst the hustle and bustle of footsteps in the hospital corridor, he could still discern that particular set of footsteps, and his keen sense of hearing allowed him to recognize those footsteps. Immediately, Edward stepped aside.Indeed, the p
Mrs. Goreng let out a sigh. Initially, she didn't want Edward to know about this because she felt guilty. When she decided to leave the Goreng family to pursue her love, she gave up everything related to that family, including the assets. If she were to come back and claim those assets now, wouldn't that be shameless? Mrs. Goreng couldn't bring herself to do that.She didn't have the face to return to her parents, nor did she have the courage to seek their help. This life was her choice. Despite her parents' warnings, she stubbornly followed her desires. Now that she had failed when her parents' warnings had come true, she had no right to seek help, nor did she have the right to complain. She chose to live in silence, no matter how difficult life became.She didn't dare to return to her parents, not even from a distance. She avoided all familiar faces, including Mr. Benson. But now, Mr. Benson had found them, and Edward knew everything. Mrs. Goreng thought that perhaps this was her fa
