Liam stuttered, looking confused about answering Reid's question this time. Different from before when he smoothly answered all of Reid's questions.The corners of Reid's lips lifted, grinning. He had already guessed that Liam's brilliant answers were not the result of Liam's own thoughts."What's wrong, Liam? Can't you answer that?” Reid asked casually."It is not like that. I'm just a bit confused. Besides, you keep asking the Cliffton company, why don't you ask the Winston company or the Foster company? They're not just here as spectators," Liam replied bravely. The hell with who Reid is here, what's certain is that Liam won't let himself be humiliated."Mr. Foster, what do you think about the question I asked earlier?" Reid turned to the head of the Foster company.The leader answered smoothly. Getting a satisfied nod from Reid."Now it's your turn, Mr. Winston," said Reid to the chairman of the Winston company. And just like the head of the foster company, Mr. Winston answered sm
The three company leaders—including Liam's father—were able to see for themselves all the chats between Liam and someone named Nathaniel.The chat contained Liam's order for Nathaniel to do a task related to the kei car, and Nathaniel had to complete it quickly because this was an important project, so there should be no delays. There it is also discussed how much Liam paid Nathaniel, there is even screenshot evidence of the money being successfully transferred. The price is fantastic, according to the level of complexity of the project, that's what Nathaniel explained.Even further up there was chat about several other jobs that Nathaniel had previously completed on Liam's orders."Let him go, Charles," said Reid after everyone in the room had finished reading all the evidence.Charles obeyed his young master's orders. He released his grip on Liam, making the man fall to the floor because he lost his balance.Liam hurriedly got up and immediately grabbed his cellphone on the table, a
Meanwhile at the Cliffton residence, Mrs Cliffton, none other than Abigail, was seen pacing in the living room.He continued to stare at the clock on the wall which was getting increasingly late."Where's Daniel? Why he hasn't come home until now?" Abigail muttered.Usually Daniel rarely works overtime. Her husband always came home on time, never less and rarely more. Only at certain times does Daniel come home at night to work overtime, and usually Daniel will let Abigail know. But this time, Daniel didn't give any news, nor did he pick up Abigail's phone when she tried to contact him."Could it be that the company's condition is getting worse?" Abigail asked herself.Even though the previous atmosphere in the company was already chaotic since the news about Liam cheating was published in the newspaper, so how could it be even more chaotic?In fact, the condition of the Cliffton company was so bad that Abigail didn't dare to come to the dinner with her group of socialites which was h
A few days later, the public was again shocked by news that spread on social media. The news was about a woman named Lilyana.A woman who 30 years ago was famous for her beauty and naughtiness in the city. Lilyana is a prostitute. It's not clear where she came from, this woman suddenly appeared in the city and seduced many men.She made many husbands bend their knees to her and forget their wives. Lilyana ensnares men, extort their money until it runs out, then throws it away, then looks for new prey.Until then, Lilyana met Daniel Cliffton, a man from the famous Cliffton family, and this time she captivated Daniel until Daniel became crazy and even proposed to her.This marriage was of course opposed by Daniel's extended family. No good family could let their son marry a prostitute.Daniel's relationship with his family broke down. But the relationship finally improved after the woman who was the source of the problem died. Lilyana died after giving birth to her son. A baby boy who i
After his conversation with Charles, Reid left the family library and went to his room. However, on his way he saw that his grandfather was in the living room, sitting on a wide and sturdy sofa chair.From his sitting position, Jacob stared straight at the family photo hanging on the wall near the decorative urn. In the photo there are Jacob and his wife, and their only child, Claire.Reid took a breath before deciding to approach his grandfather.“It's so late, why isn't grandpa asleep yet? Didn't Doctor Tyler tell Grandpa to get enough rest?" Reid said when he arrived beside his grandfather.Jacob smiled slowly. He sat holding his cane. “I actually rested too much so I couldn't sleep. So I decided to sit here.""Should I call Doctor Tyler to check on these insomnia symptoms?"“Don't worry about me, Reid. I'm fine. In a moment I will return to my room to rest. By the way, how is the company? Did everything go smoothly?” Jacob asked.“Everything went smoothly. The kei car project I'm
MORNING AT THE CLIFFTON COMPANYThere was a man sitting in a cubicle in the marketing division. The desk in the cubicle was so small that it could only accommodate the computer and keyboard, and even the coffee mug had to be jostle with the mouse.In contrast to the cubicles which have minimal space, the appearance of the employees sitting in their chairs actually looks expensive and classy. The jacket draped over the back of the chair looked like it had been designed by a famous designer, and the watch around the employee's wrist was from a big brand.The employee's appearance seemed in sharp contrast to his workplace. The employee was none other than Liam Cliffton.Since the case about Liam cheating on the Kei Car project emerged to the public, Daniel Cliffton (head of the Cliffton company and Liam's own father) immediately demoted Liam's position.Liam, who previously held the prestigious position of manager, has now become a lowly staff member in the marketing division. Daniel als
When he finally arrived at his office room, Reid immediately turned around, knowing that behind him there must be Charles Brown following him."Charles, have you found the whereabouts of the former head of the household assistant 30 years ago at the Arison residence?" Reid asked in a stiff voice."I have found it. Peterson is currently retired and lives with his extended family," answered Charles, who carried out Reid's orders as quickly as he could.Reid nodded. "Then let's go there now," said Reid in a round tone.Meanwhile, Reid's personal assistant frowned. "Young master, soon you have an important meeting with business relations, there's no way you-"“Cancel the meeting. Set the time for tomorrow morning," Reid interrupted quickly.Charles blinked. This was the first time his young master put his work second. Usually the young master always puts work first, charles could even say that all of his young master's time is devoted to work. But there is one more thing that Charles must
"I'm Reid Arison, sorry for disturbing your rest," Reid said politely while introducing himself. He didn't forget to stick out his hand. But instead of welcoming Reid's hand, Peterson snorted in a scornful voice. “This is the umpteenth time someone has come to this house to lie to me. Yesterday someone came claiming to be a real estate entrepreneur, but it turned out he was nothing more than a bandit who likes to rob other people's land. Then now another person comes who wants to fool me by claiming to be from the Arison family. Listen, young man. Your lies are really lame. I know there are no Arison members left besides Mr. Jacob," said Peterson at length. Reid frowned. Likewise with his personal assistant. Charles was certainly very surprised. Before the news of Reid's appointment as CEO, it was true that Mr. Jacob was the only remaining member of Arison. But now? Maybe Peterson missed the news? How could Peterson not recognize Reid when everyone out there knew who Reid was? Sinc
