"First and foremost, he has no regard for you as the manager. Second, he has just challenged you in front of all these employees. What are you going to do? After what he just said, are you going to let him go?"Lucian had said this merely to see what this young lady, Yvonne, is capable of!If she can't handle a dog like Benjamin while he's standing here beside her, he doesn't think he'll have any need for her!What lies ahead of them will be greater, if she turns out to be afraid of Benjamin, how can she stand the things yet to come?All he needs right now is a courageous, no-nonsense manager! If Yvonne turns out not to be that person, he won't mind firing her!This is more akin to a test! If she fails, she leaves, but if she passes, she has to herself a long-time job!Yvonne's head aches. She has never been more anxious in her life. What should she do? She falls silent as so many thoughts run through her fragile mind.After a while, she suddenly nods. He is the CEO! Yes, he is! All
Benjamin holds his head high and gloats as he speaks as if he can already see himself as the general manager with so much power at his beck and call.He is acting so aloof that if one doesn't know his background in the company, he or she will probably think he knows the CEO on a personal level and will have him do whatever he wants.However, this time around, although his words made a little sense to the other employees, they are not completely convinced. They are not fools after all. Besides, if they lacked discernment, how could they have become middle and upper level staff?Even if they don't know Lucian that much, they know Yvonne far too well since they have served her for so many years. Yvonne has never been a reckless person or a liar. There was no way in hell she would pull up such a stunt to fool them. If they can't even pick out what she is capable of doing, would they have claimed of knowing her far too well? Of course, not!They'd seen everything. At first, Yvonne was be
"What do you think?" Lucian sneers. "I'm here, but you keep saying that when I arrive, I'll fire Yvonne. Do you have nightmarish dreams? How can I fire Yvonne when she is such a sweet soul and I have a good impression of her, unlike you, who is nothing more than a dickhead?"Weren't you so respectful of Seth earlier, now that I've fired you, why not go suck up to him? And get this straight into your skull, my company will never have anything to do with someone like you!"If you insist on causing trouble, I'll immediately contact Chad Kennedy to inquire about your background and activities at this company."Weren't you the human resource manager for so many years? I'm sure for a filthy man like you, you should have extorted the company's funds and done some nefarious things, right?"Since you don't want to leave freely, I'm confident if your nefarious activities are exposed, your crime will land you in prison for more than 25 years. "Given your age, you'll be too old and wasted when yo
Lucian is not in any way scared that Chad Kennedy will not answer the call. After all, he had said not long ago that he is his young master so he is confident that he will rush to pick up the phone once he sees that it is him calling.He feels so ecstatic and can't wait to shock Benjamin and have him kneel, kowtow to him and call him dad three times! After which, he will have him imprisoned. He wasn't entirely sure about his statement just now regarding Benjamin engaging in nefarious activities and embezzling the company's funds. It was all guesswork.But after seeing Benjamin's reaction did he confirm that he does have something up his sleeves and might have done more than he possibly thinks. He will use that to his advantage now! He will never stand on ceremony with him!The dog must pay for his crime since he is too stubborn and has just pushed him to his bottom line. He is curious about how ugly his face will look once he starts dealing with him.Perhaps, he will look like a ch
Benjamin's words are icy and venomous. His body is shaking with rage, and his eyes are daring back Yvonne to try him and see!If it had been before, Yvonne would have been instantly terrified, but now that it is no longer a secret that it was Chad Kennedy who called her, she feels a sense of protection rush through her and instantly has no reason to be terrified! Chad Kennedy is the chief butler of the wealthiest family in the world. Why then should she be terrified of Benjamin who is only but a mere sacked employee?Her eyes marry his and she scoffs disdainfully, "You brought up the bet yourself, Mr. Wood merely accepted! Besides, it was not initially stated that if he lost he will have to do those things to you, so why should he be forced to?"You're being far too scheming! Anyway, since we're issuing threats, let me also warn you, if you don't leave now, I'll have security beat you to a pulp as you want to do me and Mr. Wood and throw you out!"Benjamin's face flushes. He's being
"Hah, punk, when Benjamin told me you are so arrogant and haughty, I didn't believe it, but now I've seen it for myself!" A gruff cold voice sounds behind Lucian. The air plummets by a few degrees as the man releases his cold aura, sending chills down the employees' spines.Yvonne's eyes constrict. The betrayer is here! She grits her teeth and furiously turns to him. "You!" She points at him, her body shivering in fury. "I can't believe you betrayed me!""Hahaha, Zander, you are finally here," Ignoring Yvonne's outrage, Benjamin acknowledges the middle-aged man who just emerged with so many fellows behind him with a smile.Zander smiles back at him. "I told you it would take only a few minutes! I'm here now! Let the show begin!" He also entirely ignores Yvonne!This gets Yvonne so infuriated. She grits her teeth, on the verge of vomiting blood! He is her subordinate no matter what, how dare he ignore her? She wishes she can tear him into dreads!Lucian at the side pats her on the sho
Lucian coughs out loud as the memory suddenly vanishes, his whole body breaking out in a cold sweat. He is a Python Lord?And a certain Ocean Lords are so scrupulous and respectful of him? What does being a Python Lord even mean? And who are the Ocean Lords? He hasn't heard of them before!What is the indestructible thing he conquered and why is it only after he did that they chose to pledge allegiance to him? Why can't he remember any of those memories?His body is shuddering. He can't believe what he just saw. Is he now having dreams in broad daylight? And strange ones at that? But was it really only a dream? It felt so real and as if it had happened to him. Could it be his past? What the hell is going on?He feels somewhat new. As if something had just awoken in him. He can't help but also notice that he exudes newfound strength. And he feels like he's on top of the world. As if nothing could ever hurt him!Gosh, earlier today, it was about him being the lost heir to the Huttons f
"You are too haughty!" In disgust, Lucian crinkles his nose and spits. "Your character stings! Eww! Didn't you send your dog to bring me to you so I could kneel and apologize to you?"Now that I've overpowered him, shouldn't you be pleading with me to let him go? But here you are being so cocky! "Perhaps, do you think I'll do nothing to him and let him go just because you said so? Let me tell you, I don't fear you or your men! You all put together are nothing to me!"He turns to Yvonne who is now hesitant to slap the lackey and asks, "Are you afraid you'll be in danger if you hit him? I'm standing here beside you, don't you even believe in me?"Yvonne's face flushes. She's at a loss for words. She lowers her head and takes a step back. No matter what, Lucian is just one man while Zander has with him more than ten men.If they decide to attack, she doesn't think he has a chance. "Please, Mr. Wood, don't be so careless. Zander is already infuriated. If you provoke him any further, a fi
