Louis was surprised when Jacob looked surprised. 'Is he just pretending?' "Are you sure you don't know that?" Louis looked at Jacob suspiciously. Of course, he wasn't easily fooled by the young man's acting. "Of course not, Mr. Louis," Jacob replied. "That's very strange." "Trust me. I made this appointment letter because I got an email from your company, Rorizon Corp. In that email, you told me to make a letter of agreement about our cooperation." Louis read the contract letter. The content of the letter was that he was willing to continue cooperating with Jatson Corp. If he canceled it, he would have to give up 20% of the company's shares. 'Tsk! Jacob is trying to blackmail Mr. Alvarez!' Louis muttered angrily. "I never told you to make this agreement." Jacob was shocked. "Are you serious, Mr. Louis?" "Yes. Therefore, I will cancel my plan to work with you. I suspect there has been a misunderstanding between us." Louis rose to his feet to leave the room. "Wait, Mr. Louis
Marco hurriedly drove his car away from the Jatson Corp office with severe injuries and went to a secret house known only to him and his men. Marco entered the house while grimacing in pain. He couldn't buy protective items before attacking because he had no points left since he had exchanged all his points for money to use to help the nearly bankrupt Maxco Corp. He sat down on the sofa as he was already weak, then called his son, Stephen. "What's wrong, Dad?" Stephen asked gruffly. He was still upset that his father had failed to get the contract with Rorizon Corp, but Jacob managed to get it instead, even though it was only a small company. "Come here quickly," Marco stuttered. He was short of breath because the bullet was lodged in his lungs. According to the medics, he could only survive for an hour. "What happened to you, Dad? Why are you gasping for air?" "Come here quickly, you idiot, I don't have much time left!" Marco confirmed his call and then sent his location to Ste
"No respect for the poor." Jacob arrived escorted by several bodyguards. "That's an appropriate saying for you, Mr. Alvarez." The reporters immediately swarmed around Jacob and asked him many questions. Even though Jatson Corp had only partnered with Rorizon Corp, it had become the 3rd largest company in the USA and 10th in the world. Because of this, many women admired Jacob, and many companies flocked to offer cooperation because Jatson Corp managed to become Horizon Corp's partner. "Move aside! Mr. Jacob is coming through!" One bodyguard called out sternly to the reporters who were jostling near Jacob. In a relaxed and dignified manner, Jacob approached Stephen and Moses. "My condolences on Mr. Marco's death." "Thanks." Stephen gave a fake smile. Jacob turned to the reporters who were focused on him. "As a former partner of Maxco Corp, Mr. Marco was a good and smart man. I learned a lot from him. I miss my teacher and coworker very much." Steve was squeezed by the crowd of
The next day, Stephen met with Moses at the Kingsley Corp office. "I would like to submit the proposal you asked of me, Mr. Moses." Excitedly, Moses received the letter and read it. He marvelled at the ideas Stephen had poured into the writing. "You're very impressive, Mr. Stephen. I'm sure our partnership will be very profitable," Moses praised. "I'm so glad you like my idea, Mr. Moses. Does that mean you are willing to work with my father's company?" Stephen asked politely. "Of course." Moses quickly called his assistant, and she handed him a letter of agreement. "Please sign this letter to ratify our cooperation, Mr. Stephen." "All right." Stephen immediately signed the letter, then Moses. Moses smiled with satisfaction as he saw their hands written on the seal and shook Stephen's hand. "Maxco Corp is now officially a partnership of Kingsley Corp. Please work hard." "I promise I won't let you down, Mr. Moses." "I trust you very much." 'I never thought Cassandra's pr
"So?" Jacob frowned in surprise. "I want to cancel our contract." Jacob was gaped. "Why? Didn't my company you a tremendous advantage?" "Because Egdar, your father, has been arrested by the police. Now, there is no longer any reason for me to work with you." Jacob was shocked. He did not expected Edgar to be caught. "You misunderstand, Mr. Louis!" Jacob stuttered. "I never told my father to threaten you at all." His body trembled with fear. He was disappointed and frustrated because his dreams were instantly shattered. "I don't care," said Louis. "The owner of Rorizon Corp already hates how you got the contract with me. And you also insulted him a lot in public." "The owner of Rorizon?" Jacob needed clarification. "Isn't the owner of Rorizon Corp you, Mr. Louis?" "Not anymore," Louis answered. "I work as the Vice-CEO of that company." Jacob was shocked. Who was the man who bought the biggest company in the world? He didn't expect a man richer than Louis, even though Louis
After the meeting, Steve returned to the apartment to hand over the food to Charles. "Grandpa, let's eat." Steve placed the paper bag containing the sandwiches on the dining table."Wait a minute. I'm fixing the toilet. The toilet is broken!" Charles exclaimed from inside the toilet.Steve was sad to hear that. He felt selfish for letting his grandfather live in such a dirty, shabby apartment to hide his wealth.The dirty environment made Charles cough and runny nose frequently.'I have to buy a luxury apartment for Grandpa.'Not long after, Charles came out smiling."I'm glad you're home. I was so lonely here.""I'm sorry, Grandpa. I'm rarely home because I'm busy at work.""If Cassandra was here, I wouldn't be lonely. I find it hard to part from her because I was the one who took care of her when she was little."Steve felt even more guilty. He realized Cassandra's words were true and that he was the main cause of the destruction of Grandpa's life."I'm sorry, Grandpa. I've made yo
Steve smiled as he looked up at the beautiful city of Los Angeles. The buildings looked especially beautiful at night as they glowed with colorful lights."Grandpa would have loved it.""Alvarez!"Steve spontaneously turned around when someone shouted at him. He was surprised when Mitha arrived with the two security guards."What's wrong?" asked Steve coldly."Kick him out!" "Okay, boss."The two security guards immediately grabbed Steve and held him in both hands."What the hell?! Let me go!" Steve struggled, then glared at Mitha. "What are you doing?!""I won't let you steal anything from this place!""Steal?!" Steve didn't expect the woman to accuse him of being a criminal. "I'm not stealing! I'm going to buy this apartment!""Stop talking nonsense! Get him out of here!""All right, Miss!"When the two men dragged Steve outside, Steve fought back. He stomped on the feet of the two security guards with such force that they groaned in pain. When they were caught off guard, Steve im
"Who called you, Boy?" Charles was curious because Steve looked surprised."My friend." Steve lied. "Wait a minute. I have to pick up the phone for a minute." "Okay." The young man went outside and then answered his phone."Why are you calling me?" Steve was too lazy to make small talk."Where are you now? I wanted to see you.""Don't I want to see my face again?" Steve mocked."I'm too lazy to fight with you. Meet me now.""I can't because I have to look after Grandpa." Steve lied. He was still upset that Cassandra insulted him a few days ago."Tomorrow you should come to the café in Grandpa's apartment. I want to talk to you about something important.""Yes." Steve simply turned off the phone, even though he was exceptionally interested.***The next day, Steve waited for Cassandra at her regular café. Unfortunately, she didn't arrive on time, so he had to wait. A television was in front of Steve. Various news were being broadcast.He watched to relieve his boredom.[Hot News Tod
