"Hurry up and sign the papers, Henry. Do you want to break your promise? Don't be irresponsible!" Jacob snapped loudly at Henry, feeling that he was playing a bet with him."I won't sign the papers. The host made a mistake, I’m sure! Lily should have won this project instead of that bastard!" Henry stubbornly refused to admit his defeat."Daddy and Mommy, please give me one day to settle this matter. There must have been a misunderstanding." Henry asked for an extension and promised to let Lily belong to someone else if he couldn't prove his words this time."No way, you can't break your promise. Didn't you confidently challenge us to a bet before? You should have known the consequences. You really are an untrustworthy man!" Catherine became angry with Henry who seemed to be rambling and delaying the time.Catherine wanted to finalize Henry and Lily's divorce quickly so that she could make Albert her son-in-law. For Catherine, wealth was the only thing that could bring happiness."Hus
Henry stormed out of his in-laws' house with a face full of anger and a heart heavy with the memory of his wife, Lily, humiliating herself to save her pride. He felt like he had failed to protect her. As a husband, Henry desperately wanted to teach a lesson to the people who had caused his wife grief, but he knew that now was not the right time for vengeance. "It can't end like this. They have to pay for what they've done!" he thought to himself. Albert Brown was no random person, and the fact that he had the full support of the Wilson family put Henry at a disadvantage. He took out his cell phone from his pants pocket, wanting to call Oliver Wood to ask what had really happened. ‘There must a serious problem or misunderstanding at Emerald Group!’ said Henry in his heart. Henry should be gloating over Albert's defeat and Lily's family's victory, but what happened was the opposite. Henry and Lily had to bear the shame and humiliation. It was only then that Henry realized there were
Henry became silent, for a moment he recalled his wife who was prostrate at Albert's feet. Henry clasped his hands tightly, his heart filled with anger again."You... don't you realize that because of your mistake, my wife has to bear the shame?" Henry cursed at Tommy. He let out all the emotions he had been harboring all this time.Tommy didn't budge, he continued to hold Henry's leg tightly to ask for his forgiveness. While Jinny Baker and Freddy can only stare pityingly, but cannot help Tommy because at all."Ms. Baker, I can forgive his mistake, but you have to punish him. There is no need to fire him, because he is the hope of his family."Although he was upset, Henry still thought about Tommy and his family's lives, because he felt that he had also been in that condition.Living in poverty is the most despicable social status in the eyes of others! Let alone neighbors, even your own family will look down on you and pretend not to know you."Yes, sir. I'll give her a severe punis
Two days had passed, the party that the Emerald Group was going to hold had arrived. The invited guests began to come to East cliff Hotel which made the atmosphere in the place more crowded than usual. In fact, the East cliff Hotel had to close their operations temporarily, in order to facilitate the event.The guest who received the most attention was Albert Brown as he was the chosen candidate who would be working with the Emerald Group. Albert Brown was currently chatting with his colleagues."Congratulations on your victory, Mr. Albert. You deserve this tender.""Mr. Albert is extraordinary. No one can beat him here in Eastland City."Albert's colleagues started complimenting him or simply congratulating him on his victory. They tried to curry favor with Albert to get his attention.However, Albert did not seem to listen to the words of the people around him. Albert's eyes were only fixed on one person who was standing alone not far from him.'Oh, you dare to come? Just watch me h
The audience looked at each other, and started discussing with the guests near them, making the atmosphere in the main room uncontrollable. Everyone did not understand what had happened, but the video of Albert Brown had led them to one conclusion.At the same time, Albert Brown's face turned pale, he was banging on the microphone in front of him in the hope that it would sound so that Albert could calm all the guests in the room and give an explanation, but the microphone still did not work as before.Albert Brown was getting frustrated, he shouted loudly for someone to turn off the large projector behind him, but instead the projector stayed on and showed Albert making fun of Jinny Baker to one of the Emerald Group employees, Tommy.Albert also undermines Jinny Baker's ability to manage a business and considers her incompetent and unqualified to be the CEO of Emerald Group. Albert said that Jinny Baker could sit in her current position only because of the help from her sexy body.Al
As soon as he heard the question, Albert's face lit up with a wide smile as he believed he had found a solution to his current predicament. He intended to turn the situation in his favor. It so happened that the video he had been watching earlier had just ended, leaving the room silent except for his clear, audible voice. With newfound confidence, Albert began to articulate his thoughts, hoping to convince his audience and achieve his desired outcome."Without a doubt, I am superior to Lily Wilson in every conceivable way," Albert declared haughtily. "Only a foolish and stupid woman would give up a life of luxury to marry a useless man like Henry!" With a sneer, he pointed at Henry, who was sitting beside Lily in the audience.At that moment, the guests in the room shifted their attention towards Henry and Lily. They were now able to see firsthand the woman who had been selected as the prime candidate for Jinny Baker and the Emerald Group.As Albert continued to hurl insults at Henry,
"Come on Mr. Albert, defeat that Lily Wilson. Show us here that that woman does not deserve the Emerald Group's tender as you said.""Mr. Albert, I believe with your experience so far, you can defeat Lily Wilson easily.""Mr. Albert, what are you waiting for? Lily Wilson is just a newcomer to the business world, compared to you, she is just sand on a vast beach.""Mr. Albert, show Lily Wilson and her husband that they have chosen the wrong opponent. It's like they're teaching a fish to swim!"The guests immediately urged Albert to accept Henry's challenge to spar with Lily Wilson. Most of them were convinced that Albert could defeat the woman with ease.However, even though many people supported him, it didn't make Albert happy, instead his body broke out in even more cold sweat. In fact, his heart was racing, as if he was worried about something.On the other hand, Lily looked so calm, as if she didn't care about people underestimating her abilities. She showed so much confidence, as
Ten minutes in, the guests burst out laughing at the fact that Albert didn't know the contents of his own proposal. Every time Lily asked a question, Albert could not answer it. Albert seemed to have turned into a very stupid person.At the same time, there were a lot of people in the audience who admired Lily. Lily's ability to explain ideas was quite brilliant, making everyone think that if their company had Lily Wilson, it would definitely become a developed company."Albert, where was your arrogance earlier? Why do you look like a cold rat right now? Ha ha, I thought even a monkey has a much higher intelligence than you!"The audience turned their heads simultaneously towards the source of the voice which turned out to be Jinny Baker, who had previously left the room with other Emerald Group officials. They immediately paid their respects because it was undeniable that Jinny Baker was the brilliant CEO of a large company, Emerald Group.Everyone did not expect Jinny Baker to retur
