The Webber family’s primary source of income is the goods they import in and out of the city through the various forms of shipment. However, what this family doesn’t let people know is the fact that they deal in these shipments in the first place. This is because these shipments only transport goods by smuggling them in and out of Dominion City. The Webber family was not only filled with cruel people related to blood but it was also filled with criminals as well.This is their main source of wealth which they flaunt around the city oppressively while claiming their position as undisputedly second to the four prominent families in the city. Therefore, it is only natural that not many people outside of the family knew about these illegal shipments in and out of the city. Most of these goods would never be legally allowed by the city authorities. In fact, the country itself would punish whoever was caught dealing in these kinds of shipments. Yet, the Webber family had managed to keep it
Two days after Miles gave his instructions to Eden, news began to travel through the city of Dominion. People could stop themselves from talking about the Webber family.“Hey! Did you hear that intense misfortune has been falling on the Webber family for the past few days now?! It’s like all their luck has suddenly gone down the drain or something.”“Oh my goodness! I actually heard about this as well. Just less than a week ago, they had been thriving. Now, their name is currently all over the media, and none of it has been good so far. It’s quite jarring actually.”“To be honest though, I feel no remorse whatsoever for their immense loss within these few days. That family has always been nothing but trouble. They are infamous for bullying the weak as much as they want. They humiliate and step over the heads of those they feel have lesser power than them.”“Well, Karma truly is a bitch. It’s about time they got a taste of defeat. They’ve spent years flaunting their wealth and supremac
There was hesitation on the other end of the call before Dorian carefully answered. “Um, no, Young Master Miles. It has nothing to do with your father. I’m afraid I’m as in the unknown about the patriarch as you are. I’ve actually been trying to Garner any information, but I just keep hitting nothing but dead ends every time. I won’t give up though. I want you to please trust in me.”“I do,” Miles spoke with a reassuring tone in his voice. “If there is one thing about you, Butler Dorian, that I’ve never doubted, it’s your innate show of loyalty to father and to the Creek family.”“Thank you for saying that, Young Master Miles.” “Of course, it’s the truth after all.” Miles nodded as he was now gazing out the floor-to-ceiling transparent glass window behind him. “Now, I believe you have news for me.”Dorian’s voice immediately took on a professional tone, as they had to get back to business. “I wanted to let you know that the biotech company has fully been obtained and is now under you
Miles made sure to listen to the complaints, concerns, and overall experience of these seven engineers who had been recruited by Dorian. He made sure to ask questions that better aid his understanding of where every one of them stands. After that, he began to logically give his inputBy the time the meeting was done, every single one of these engineers was left deeply impressed by Miles’s understanding of the business side of this, including how it specifically affects the work these people are doing. This ended up making them quite satisfied that Miles was the kind of person they would be working with.The engineers were left even more shocked when Miles promised that he would build them individual laboratories where they would have the freedom and resources to a breath length to work on their individual projects. This is a side from the fact that there will be a grand central laboratory for all seven unique engineers to work together in tandem. The seven engineers would practically
Jonathan watched as Miles exchanged words of pleasantries with the O’Brien family before continuing his words. “These two gentlemen are actually here to propose a romantic match between Conan and Lesley.”“Oh.” Miles nodded in understanding before turning to Lesley, seated on the other side of his father-in-law. “Lesley, I have to ask. Do you have any objection to this?”Lesley was surprised at this question at first, but then her expression softened into a smile. She nodded her head sharply, and she was deeply grateful that Miles, of all people, had bothered to give her the needed chance to voice her consent.At this moment, a gorgeously dressed woman walked into the private room gallantly. “Oh my goodness! Please, tell me I’m not late. You guys couldn’t have possibly started this romantic matchup already without my presence. I’m the son’s mother after all.”Miles was confused at first, but then he saw Conan acknowledging the woman as ‘Mom’ while Xavier greeted her with a sweet kiss
A couple of minutes later, Conan shared an ominous expression with his parents before he dipped his hand below the round table and retrieved a beautiful red bag.“Um, Lesley, this bag is for you. I hope you like it.” Conan handed the bag over to the young woman with a reserved smile.“Oh, um, thank you, Conan. I really didn’t expect this.” Lesley smiled at Conan, truly appreciating that he brought her a gift.Hearing this though, it inflated Conan’s ego, and he adjusted his leather jacket. “Oh, it’s nothing. The bag is just a little over $2,000. I figured that I had to give you the best to show my sincerity.”Lesley was not blind. She could definitely see the cockiness in Conan but eating its ugly head right now. She glanced at her father and Miles to find that they had also noticed the cockiness in Conan just now.“Wow, thank you.” At this point, Lesley was struggling to sound sincere, as she could tell that this was done to, once again, belittle Miles and make him feel inferior.Con
The three members of the O’Brien family stared at the phone screen like fishes struggling against dehydration. On the screen, they found three various colors of Hermes Kelly Rose Gold handbags.“Mom, what’s so special about those bags?” Conan whispered to his mother to see her reaction. Of course, he was also surprised when he initially took a look, but that was because the bag was visually stunning. It was clear to him and his father just from the physical appearance that this bag was quite unique.Laura glanced at her son before shifting her gaze to Lesley with incredulity. “Lesley, my dear. How much is each and every one of those bags?”Lesley tilted her head with a cute expression. “It’s a little over $2 million, but Miles found out that the designer was currently taking a limited number of custom-made requests for $5 million, and he decided to get three versions for me.”Laura couldn’t believe it. It all sounded way too absurd to her. Miles is a stay-at-home dad who can’t afford
The razor was really $20,000. The O’Brien family was stunned at what they got. This inevitably led them to believe everything else, including those bags, each costing over $2 million each. They still couldn’t understand how a stay-at-home dad, who was expectedly munching off of his wife’s earnings.Xavier chuckled nervously as he stared at the slight cockiness seeping through the expressions of Jonathan and Lesley. As for Miles, his intentions were canceled behind his mask of calmness. “Mr. Blaine, I have to say that I’m a bit jealous of you right now. I heard of the $50 million that you won at the antique fair in the city. At first, I wasn’t sure if it was you. I even assumed that they were talking about a totally different man who just had the same name as you. Yet, it seems they were really talking about you. With that kind of money in your possession, it’s understandable how you’re able to casually purchase those bags for your daughter and still buy these insanely expensive razors
