..When Charlie heard Landon’s words, he decided to continue with Landon’s joke for a little while longer. Didn’t Landon say he was about to call Mr. David? How about he see things for himself?“Oh? The call got through? Here, let me hear what he has to say!” Charlie teased nastily and snatched the phone right out of Landon’s hand before putting the call on speaker mode so that everyone could hear the conversation.“Hello, who is this? Are you Mr. David? Hey, Mr. David, I’d like to know, are you planning on playing along with an act too?” He asked derisively.“Hey, you are not the young master! Who are you?” Mr. David asked.“Me? Hahaha! I’m Charlie William, manager of David Corporation in Autumnvale! I have to say you tried nailing Mr. David’s voice. You are pretending to be Mr. David, aren’t you? Well, you don’t fool me. I like to see you keep trying!” Charlie scoffed. There’s no way Mr. David will be friends with a loser like Landon.“Charlie William right? Very well, I’ll remembe
. . When Charlie heard Landon’s words a frown on his face. Here, was he trying to be serious and Landon dared to still joke?! “That does it! The hard way it is for you! I am connected to a lot of top people in this town. If you don’t take my nice offer now that I’m giving you the chance, don’t blame me for what happens next. I will make your life in this town a hell until you come to beg me.” Charlie threatened. “And if I don’t beg?” Landon raised an eyebrow. “Then it would be an expected news in the future if you suddenly disappear,” Charlie said coldly. Landon frowned slightly at this moment. Landon was no fool. He could very well get the hint in Charlie’s last words. Charlie was threatening his life. “I wanted to show you mercy if you were willing to beg me by calling Mr. David to give you back your job but I have changed my mind,” Landon replied sternly. “You must be punished, Charlie.” However, his words only caused Charlie and the rest of the siblings to laugh at the tabl
. . There was an instant dead silence at their table as the call ended. Apart from the everyday sounds coming from other people having their meals, the table that Landon, Charlie, and the rest of the four siblings occupied was completely silent. Everyone eating at the table apart from Landon had a complicated expression on their face. ‘What just happened?’ This was the question that slipped in the minds of everyone. Charlie was very confident so he called Don Sebastian, leaving the phone call on loudspeaker. Because of this everyone at the table heard how his conversation with Don Sebastian had an unexpected outcome. Don Sebastian had refused to do Charlie a favor because he said Charlie was now fired from his company. How is Charlie fired from David Corporation? Darwin was the most confused because he too works in the same corporation and he knows that Charlie is very much employed so how is it that Charlie is that Don Sebastian feels that Charlie has been fired? This was what
. . Just as Landon left the restaurant his phone started ringing. Landon took out his phone and checked the caller ID to find out it was Eve. Without any hesitation, he answered the call. [“Hello young master.”] Eve's lovely voice entered his ear from the other side of the phone. “Hello Eve? How are you doing?” Landon asked. [“I’m fine young master, but did you not arrive at Autumnvale?”] Eve asked with a worried voice. “Of course, I arrived. I’m currently in Autumnvale.” Landon replied. [“That’s wrong.”] Eve said with her tonality being one of confusion. [“I asked the manager of Grey group to pick you up at the train station. He said he has been waiting for you at the train station since morning but he hasn’t seen any sign of you.”] ‘Oh right!’ Landon suddenly remembered this detail he had forgotten about due to the sudden events he had run into. “Yes, I saw the manager at the train station entrance but I chose to ignore him,” Landon replied sternly. Sensing the seriousnes
. . Grey Group official building in Autumnvale. It was just noon and two security guards were standing outside the doors of the building. One was a young man and the other was a middle-aged man that was already very close with his old age. Both security guards let out a yawn at different points in time during their work. Nothing much interesting happened other than normal workers in suits entering and exiting the building. That was till it clocked noon when a series of luxurious SUVs arrived at the parking lot. With so many luxurious cars entering the parking lot, it was enough to catch their attention quickly. When the SUVs stopped, bodyguards in black suits came out and opened the door for a popular figure. “Wow, it’s Mayor Adan.” The young security guard voiced out when he saw the famous figure stepping out of one of the SUVs. The older security guard gave a proper look and recognized the Mayor. “It is him.” The both of them instantly made their stance more rigid than it was
..When the rest important figures saw who Silas bowed to, they were all shocked. The young master was just a person in his early twenties. Even when they had been expecting such a person in such an age range, it still did not prevent them from not being shocked.The reason that had them shocked is that not only was the man in front of them young, but he did not look lavish at all. If they were to see Landon outside on a good day, they would not pay any attention to him given the way he’s dressed. They would probably mistake him for the average everyday citizen, not knowing that he is the owner of the powerful Grey Group worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Where will they find such an individual who can be low-key like this rich young man?Because of this, all the important people in the room looked at Landon with eyes of mystery and admiration. However, their emotions did not keep them rooted in their spots. They all walked up to welcome Landon with 100% respect. Landon also poli
..Landon had heard a scream for help for help in the lonely part of the Grey Group office building that was still not occupied yet.Since Landon could not ignore the scream, he moved to the source. Upon approaching the source of the scream he saw a woman trying to escape from an office and a man was dragging her back inside the office. Another detail Liam did not fail to notice was the fact that the lady’s clothes were tattered, almost revealing nude parts of her body. The scene made it seem like the lady was about to be forcefully naked.Landon did not need to be a genius to understand what was currently going on here.However, when he saw who the man was the perpetrator of the act he was slightly stunned.The man and lady quickly noticed his presence.“Please help me!” The lady cried out.The man seemed to recognize Landon and then he voiced out. “It’s you! What are you doing here?”Landon smiled scornfully and replied with a furrowed brow. “Shouldn’t I be the one asking the quest
..Landon instructed Silas to have Samuel arrested and make sure to see that Justice takes its cause. Not only that, he also told them to apologize to the lady who had come for a job interview. They should redo the interview and give her a job if she’s qualified for it.To be honest, Landon was not happy about what he just saw because if Samuel could be doing such a thing in Grey Group then it meant that the probability of the other key workers doing stuff like this was very much high as well. If such a thing is going on in Grey Group, it needs restructuring. To Landon, Autumnvale is his hometown. Now that Grey Group is taking the future of Autumnvale into its hands, anything Grey Group does would affect the locals of Autumnvale greatly.Uncle Mitch, Aunt May, and Daisy may most likely choose to spend the rest of their lives in Autumnvale. There is no way Landon is going to leave his hometown to be managed by corrupt individuals like Samuel. This would only be chaos in the society.
