“Damn... I'm the manipulator after all. But he manipulates me. This hurts my pride.” Christopher held his forehead. Even the refreshing aroma of coffee in front of him couldn't get rid of his irritation. This was quite disturbing to him. “He came in suddenly and did what he wanted.”Christopher leaned his head on his stool. He then crossed his legs and looked at the ceiling. The ceiling of the room at night was so quiet. The atmosphere in this night was also very calm. Other people would probably enjoy this night and let go of all the tiredness from both physical fatigue and mental fatigue. However, Christopher could not do that tonight.After coming home from the chaos in the Techt family, Christopher could only feel dizzy in his room right now. Everything he had planned for so long had gone against his will.Christopher let out a long breath. “That guy... he's so weird. He just suddenly came up to me while I was in the middle of the action.”Actually, Christopher wasn't sure what wo
“Is tomorrow the departure?” Rachel folded her arms in front of her chest. She tilted her head as she looked at Shawn who was putting some clothes into a suitcase. Shawn smiled a little without looking at his wife. “Yes. I told you, didn't I?” Rachel gave a small nod. She let out a long breath. “I didn't realize that you were already further along than I am in business, Shawn.” Hearing that, Shawn stopped what he was doing and stood up straight. He then turned to Rachel. “Why are you saying that, Rachel?” Rachel raised both eyebrows. Her eyes were still unwilling to look at Shawn. She was silent because she didn't want to get a reaction from Shawn when Rachel revealed the reason. Shawn frowned. Then Sahwn tilted his head while raising both eyebrows. “Rachel? What's further than you?” Rachel blinked her eyes. In between blinks, she turned her gaze towards Shawn. “The scale of your business became huge, even in just a few months. You can now do business overseas. As long as I
“This building is quite large. Mr. Aaron's business seems to be no joke. It's on a national scale.” Shawn walked quickly with Alex following behind him. They were heading to the elevator to reach the top floor, where their business meeting was.Alex smiled a little. “Didn't I give you the profile of Keaton Corp, Young Master? The energy business that Mr. Aaron owns does include the livelihood of many people.”Mr. Aaron Kyle is the owner of Keaton Corp, a mining company. They operated in the country of Veldamara, as it had abundant resources of oil, natural gas, as well as precious metals.There was a crucial reason why Aaron Kyle submitted a cooperation proposal with Darius. It was because most of the branches were losing money. Aaron needs funds to get Keaton Corp back on track. If not, Keaton Corp might lose its share price.Shawn has seen the profile of Keaton Corp carefully. Finally, Shawn came as a representative of Darius.Shawn and Alex entered the elevator. “Grandpa always sur
Less than five minutes after Keaton's secretary left, the door to the room opened. A fat man with a mustache wearing glasses smiled broadly at the presence of Shawn sitting in the room. While Alex stood beside him.Shawn immediately got up from his chair. He welcomed the man and shook his hand. Shawn smiled and nodded slightly.The man kept showing his teeth in a wide smile. It showed how excited he was to meet Shawn. He must have had great expectations of Shawn. “Have you been waiting long? I'm very pleased to meet you, Mr. Hubert.”Shawn frowned slightly. “Oh, no problem. Nice to meet you too, Mr. Aaron.”Mr. Aaron then pointed to a bench. “Please have a seat. It is an honor for you to fulfill my invitation to come to Veldamara. Although I was unable to meet Lord Darius, I am grateful to be able to meet the descendants of Lord Darius. You are young and handsome, you can surely see the potential of Keaton Corp. So many things can be explored here. How was your trip? Was the hotel com
“What did you say?” Mr. Aaron glared while furrowing his brows. The words said by Shawn were very unexpected. Moreover, Mr. Aaron did not understand why Shawn was saying things like he was a superior judging his subordinates.Mr. Aaron gulped. He glanced at Alex, but Alex just gave a mysterious smile while nodding. Then he looked back at Shawn. It turned out that Shawn was sitting with his legs crossed while looking up slightly. Looking down at Mr. Aaron.Mr. Aaron's breathing became irregular. “Mr. Shawn, what is the meaning of this? Why would you say something like that after making a deal?”Shawn argued while adjusting his sitting position. He crossed his fingers while looking casually at Mr. Aaron. “It's simple, Mr. Aaron. I agreed to fund Keaton Corp. Because I also see the potential of this company. However, I do not agree if a company of this potential is run by an incompetent person.”Mr. Aaron's under-eye muscle twitched. He felt offended by Shawn's words. Mr. Aaron averted
“Why are you stopping? Hurry up and throw them out!” Mr. Aaron shouted. Jack and Tuck immediately did as Mr. Aaron asked. Jack went straight to Shawn and grabbed him by the shoulders.Shawn remained calm. He even smiled a little. “Oh, you still listen to that useless boss of yours?”Jack began to grip Shawn's shoulders. “Mr. Shawn Hubert, you need to leave this building immediately.”Shawn turned his head while staring at Jack. He exhaled and smiled. Jack changed his gaze slightly. The man he was holding had a different vibe. He wasn't scared or panicked after Jack held him.Jack tightened his grip with the intention of making Shawn stand up. However, somehow he couldn't do it. Shawn's body was so strong and heavy, Jack winced as he tried to lift him up.Tuck wrinkled his forehead. “Jack, what are you doing? Let's get him out!”Jack glanced over sharply. “I want to do that too!”Shawn calmly turned to Mr. Aaron. The fat man's face looked even redder. His eyes glared at Jack. “Take hi
“78% share...” Jack glared when he heard what Shawn said. That amount of shares certainly made Shawn the authority at the shareholders' meeting.Jack glanced at Mr. Aaron. The man glared and his chin dropped. He couldn't say anything. His lips were trembling.Tuck even forgot to take a breath. He forgot about the pain in his hand. He glanced at Jack. “Jack...”The call brought Jack to his senses. Right now Jack was in a big quandary. Shawn already had far more strength and power than he did. Standing in front of him haughtily was not the best choice.Mr. Aaron slowly backed away. “No way... I've done everything to build Keaton Corp! You have no brains to say that to me!”Mr. Aaron's face turned very red. He spoke harsh words while pointing at Shawn. Then the atmosphere became silent for a moment. Shawn just stood quietly while seeing how the fat man would respond.Mr. Aaron turned to Jack and Tuck. “Jack! Tuck! Make yourselves useful! Help me!”Mr. Aaron glared at them. He said it lou
“You are indeed reckless, Young Master.” Alex let out a long breath. He looked at Shawn with slightly droopy eyes. He was quite exhausted after five days of being pushed by Shawn with some unexpected schedules in Veldamara. “You abandoned this case before the trial started. Are you really serious about handling Mr. Aaron's case?” Shawn nodded his head. He didn't want his trip home to be interrupted by the matter. Of course this made Alex feel surprised. Even though it was Shawn who made the report about Mr. Aaron's crime, but Shawn left him after he was arrested by the police and provided evidence. What good would it do if Mr. Aaron was caught if there was no one to testify at the trial?Alex furrowed his brows. “Mr. Shawn, you're going to do things halfway like this? It's not good for you.”Shawn glanced over. “Oh, did you think I would let Mr. Aaron off the hook, Alex?”Alex nodded. “I was worried that you would abandon something you started, Young Master.”Shawn smiled a little.
