Now, the Latinh Group has taken control of the business world in Elysian Echo. The Connors and the Charlies used this power to rise. The brothers Victor and Eugene knew that the Charlie and Connor families had a tight relationship, so they no longer afraid to antagonize Dulcie behind her back. "Um..." Ariel's complexion was very poor, and she longer dared to take Eugene's two people. In her heart, she also understood the current situation very well. Indeed, her daughter didn't have substantial influence in Elysian Echo, especially when the capital was still uncertain, the company was on the verge of collapse, and being harassed by the Eugene brothers, it was hard to find a countermeasure. "Alright, if you're interested, continue your tour. The company has just been established. Take a good look." Victor seemed delighted: "Even the Blue Sea Corporation's investment in your company has encountered difficulties. I wonder if your counterfeit company has enough capital to continue its op
Upon learning the story's twist, everyone present gasped in surprise, their discussions abuzz at the sight of someone in peril. Savannah's sisters were embarrassed, feeling that they had been humiliated to the extreme. They glared at Theophilus and Hades, feeling entirely discontent. "We won't let the Connor family off the hook! Just a lowly security guard dared to strike me? He's finished!" Savannah threatened. She was indignant: "And this useless Theophilus too, he'd better watch out..." They couldn't fathom what trick Theophilus had used. How could he persuade a security guard in the Latinh corporation to disregard his position and attack them? It was ridiculous! "If you dare to utter another word, I'll cripple both of you!" Hades retorted furiously. He was also losing his temper. He couldn't believe that these two imbeciles dared to threaten their boss, Jake. It was like they were asking for death. After finishing his words, Hades grabbed Nolan and Savannah, one in each hand,
Anselm's visage wore an unspeakable grimace, yet he mustered the strength to lift his wine glass, his head pounding and vision blurring. The alcohol had kicked in, his body swaying unsteadily. "Brothers, honorable CEOs, my apologies. I seemed to have choked a bit earlier." Anselm cautiously addressed the crowd. "Father, let's leave. This is just... too much. We should go." Dulcie had risen, her heart aflame with rage and, at the same time, awash with pity. It was a flagrant insult, a blatant dishonor at this banquet table as if their family counted for nothing. "But..." Anselm started to object, his expression full of regret. To offend such influential figures at this banquet could doom their future in Elysian Echo. "Miss Dulcie, don't say we didn't give your family a fair chance. You failed to seize the opportunity, even daring to affront these CEOs. I suggest you reconsider using the precious gemstones from the Miller Corporation or face the wrath of these two CEOs and leave no
Ting ting ting. Suddenly, Keyes's phone rang, and he answered with a grin. "Yes, yes, alright, alright." Keyes was on the phone, nodding repeatedly, his face glowing joyfully. "Mr. Eugene, I must go now. I can't stay for the rest of your celebration party." Keyes chuckled. "Director Charlie, what's the rush?" Victor asked him. "Ha ha, now Louis and I must meet a big shot first. We'll catch up when we're free," Keyes said, smiling broadly as if he had just won the lottery. "Alright, Director Charlie, Mr. Louis, until next time, let me escort you out." Victor smiled, standing up to see Keyes and Louis out. As soon as they left, Victor and Eugene exchanged glances, faces gleaming with satisfaction. "That useless son-in-law, Theophilus, daring to cross CEO Charlie and Mr. Louis, I see their house on the brink of doom." Victor sneered frostily. "Exactly." echoed Eugene, a matching icy smile on his face: "Look at his damned airs. He can offend anyone anywhere. We don't even have to
The countenance of Theophilus remained tranquil as ever. He gently sipped his tea and asked casually: "Has Chris not clarified the situation to them?" "Do you know Chris?" Keyes looked surprised, his gaze upon Theophilus one of disbelief. How could such a useless son-in-law like Theophilus win Chris's favor? "Theophilus, this good-for-nothing, you understand nothing at all. Even if you do know Chris, his inviting you to this party is an honor you don’t deserve. Do you truly consider yourself prestigious?" Keyes reproached with an arrogant tone: "Don't you know to rise and greet when Chris enters the room? How dare you occupy the host's seat in his presence?" Keyes was perplexed at how such a hopeless fellow as Theophilus could be so lucky. To think that someone of such low status could curry favor with Chris was astounding. But alas, the poor wit of this useless man was evident. He remained seated even in Chris's presence. "Sir, I am acquainted with this Theophilus. He is notorious
The bitter, burning liquor slid down their throats. In their half-conscious state, Keyes and Louis cursed the families of Eugene and Victor, planning to vent their anger on those two fools when they returned. Those two had truly landed them in dire straits! Halfway through the third bowl, Keyes collapsed onto the floor, mouth oozing liquor, tears streaming down his face. He was blabbering incoherently, driven to madness by the drink. Louis could not stand anymore, his face beet red, his rotund belly distended. He fell to the floor, crawling and groaning. Theophilus rose leisurely, looked at Chris, and said casually: "You handle the rest. I'll leave first." "Yes, Boss Jake." Chris nodded, respectfully seeing Theophilus out of the banquet hall. Turning back, Chris smirked at the two men making fools of themselves on the floor. Considering the pitiful state of Keyes and Louis, he reckoned they would need to be hospitalized for nearly a month. Departing from the Resort Hotel, Theophi
“Where do I come from, you ask? With your level, you wouldn’t have the right to know.” Theophilus smirked, a sardonic smile playing on his lips: "Aren’t you planning to deal with me? Already admitting defeat so soon?” Wind’s countenance hardened: "Don’t be too smug just yet. You’ve made quite a mess. Even if I can’t handle you, there will always be someone who can!” With those words, Wind suddenly pivoted, his figure lithe and quick, disappearing several meters away in the blink of an eye, clearly intending to escape. Theophilus’ power was beyond his comprehension. If he were to confront him now, death would be the only outcome. Hence, it was better to retreat and report to Saeed, planning his next move later. A wise man wouldn’t risk his life without careful thought. After all, Saeed had many skilled men behind him, and there would be a way to deal with Theophilus eventually! “Planning to run after showing your face?” Theophilus shook his head, glancing at Hades. In a split seco
A thunderous sound resonated. At that moment, the office door was abruptly kicked open, and a foreign man with a frosty face stormed into the room. "Who are you?" Saeed's countenance turned icy as he abruptly swiveled to face Hades. Shortly after, a youth dressed in a black windbreaker stepped into the office with an impassive demeanor. Saeed paled; he could scarcely believe his own eyes. "Theophilus? You? Why are you here?" Saeed asked, his voice laced with confusion, as he found the entire situation utterly strange. Where had Wind gone? Hadn't he embarked on a mission to assassinate Theophilus? How had Theophilus managed to find him here? He had not anticipated that the young man would be able to trace his hiding spot. Could something have gone wrong with Wind's operation? Saeed was instantly filled with terror. He had always stayed in the shadows, watching Theophilus from afar, but now that Theophilus had suddenly appeared, he was at a loss on how to handle the situation. "S
