With renewed vigour, Myles nodded as he said, "All right, Dad. I, Myles Vander, will repay your trust in me. I will endeavour to take our family to a higher level."
Hearing that Myles had accepted the responsibility placed on his shoulders, Mr Vander was greatly relieved. He felt like a huge boulder had just been lifted off his shoulders.
Starting tomorrow, after the Board of Directors meeting and a series of press conferences, he has officially stepped down from the helm and will only assist Myles from behind the scenes. It is better for him.
Besides giving Myles a chance to develop and build confidence, he can also take a break soon, travelling around the world on tour.
Indeed, travelling around the world was no stranger to Mr Vander. But that time was very different. His travels to different countries were for work purposes.
But now that the company's reins have been handed over to Myles, he will travel the world as a tourist this time. It will
This afternoon at the Sparrow family villa, a meeting occurred between Mr Sparrow and several of the Sparrow family's bodyguards, servants and a former intelligence officer who had been in the army for a long time. This man's name was Marcus.Marcus, who used to be active in the army, was relied upon by the army unit he joined. It is known that he always performed the tasks assigned by the Commander of his troops.Marcus was once assigned to hunt down a drug kingpin who had escaped to Valanthea, and with his skills in disguise, he managed to infiltrate as an informant.With very accurate information, the narcotics section of the police was able to crack down on this syndicate.Marcus was also once asked for help by the police to solve a kidnapping case by a gang that kidnapped a rich businessman's kid from a neighbouring country. And he succeeded in his task and even managed to drag their leader into prison.Another task that Marcus successfully ca
Marcus received the pendant necklace with a question, "Sir, if I were to discover the whereabouts of this pendant pair and know who the owner is, then what should I do?"Hearing the question from Marcus then, Mr Sparrow replied, "When you find any clues, then you must contact me immediately. And one more thing, you must cooperate and exchange information. That way, the job will be easier."The two who got the assignment nodded immediately and said, "Yes, sir. I think the information I need is sufficient. We will move immediately to conduct preliminary investigations first."Mr Sparrow nodded, then hurriedly said, "Marcus, Adriel, there is something you must remember! Do not divulge the matter of our search to anyone, especially the Vander family! It's not that I don't trust my best friend. But I feel that there is a traitor in that family. Therefore, keep your movements secret! When you find a clue, then you can contact me directly. If I am slow to respond, you
Upon seeing Tristan suddenly not far from them, Jaxon, who had been nervous about being alone in the park with Jessica, became even more nervous. But his nervousness this time was really because of something unpleasant.If earlier he felt nervous and misbehaved by a girl, this time the nervousness he felt in his heart was more towards discomfort.Right now, he didn't know what to do. In his heart, he cursed the current situation. It could have been more favourable for him.On the other hand, Jessica was also wondering. She wondered how Tristan was suddenly here. Was her every move being watched by Tristan?Jessica felt uncomfortable in this situation. It made her feel even more disgusted with Tristan. Jessica is staring intently at Tristan, who is walking closer and closer to them.Standing before them, Tristan asked in an affronted tone, "Jessica, this afternoon, I asked you to go home from college together. But you said that you would be at the library with your friends. But I didn't
Not long before Jaxon left the place where he was with Jessica, Tristan chased him first and said while threatening Jaxon, "Jaxon! I'm not done with you yet. This time you can breathe easy, but believe that soon I will take revenge on you." After uttering threatening words to Jaxon, Tristan pretended to smile. He then patted Jaxon's shoulder kindly and said in a deliberately loud voice and with the best smile he ever had, "Okay, Jaxon. Thanks for your understanding. And be careful on the road!" He had to do this to trick Jessica. He wanted her to think he had just realised his arrogant behaviour. Jessica was also relieved to see Tristan's attitude had softened towards Jaxon. But not so for Jaxon. he knows that Tristan only acts in front of Jessica. However, he will still try to change Jessica's perception of him with all his acting power. If Jessica has a bad judgement towards him, then in the future, it will be very difficult for him to win Jessica's heart. If that happens, the ho
Today is Sunday. A day that many students look forward to after a week of draining much energy. So, most higher-education students utilise this time off to relax their minds and replenish their energy. Students who have a background from the middle to upper class use this opportunity to relax. Some are travelling to entertainment venues; some are also travelling to recreation areas, and so on. For women, most of them go to shopping centres in the city or watch good movies that aired this week at the cinema. It is usually what students with wealth from the middle to upper class do. Even though Dean was a little wealthier than the other three, he preferred to join them to pack up their rooms and clean the dormitory area where they lived. They were all busy with the various jobs they had agreed upon. For example, Jaxon is currently in charge of cleaning their room, sweeping the floor, removing the rubbish, cleaning the dust that sticks to the fan, and so on. Meanwhile, Dean and Jake
"This afternoon, I plan to go to Lockwood Village to visit my nanny's grave. After that, I will go to Carlton to visit my foster father. Nowadays, he is very old. Older than his actual age, and it has been a while since I visited him, so today I have to visit him." Jake nodded and said with a wry smile, "All right then. I won't bother you." He thought Jaxon would take them for a walk to enjoy the day off. But that thought was soon discarded by him far away. He knew very well Jaxon's nature. Even if Jaxon wanted to go out to enjoy recreational places, he knew that Jaxon needed more money to do that. Rather than money spent on just looking for entertainment, it was better to use the money available to fill their stomachs. In his heart now, Jake laughed out loud, laughing at his foolishness. It was now ten o'clock in the morning. Jaxon, who had other plans after this mutual aid work was done, was in a hurry with his work. Because he knew to reach Lockwood Village alone, he had to take
Currently in the boys' dormitory, Jake, Dean and Jaxon had just finished tidying up their rooms. There were satisfied smiles as they enjoyed the fruits of their labour.As he stretched his stiff muscles, Jake said, "Huh, after packing and cleaning, this room feels comfortable. Imagine we haven't worked together for almost two weeks, right?" Jake said while looking around as if he was a foreman assessing the work of his subordinates.Then Dean, who felt the same way, said, "Well, it took us almost four hours to clean and pack this room. And this happened because of the cohesiveness and good cooperation by each of us."Then Dean continued, "I imagined all the struggles we went through together. It's all recorded in my mind. Whether it's hardship, joy, suffering and all forms of intimidation directed at us by those who consider themselves the children of the rich and honourable, I make it all as a whip that can whip our fighting spirit to be better in the future. I
Jaxon continued his previous remark, "So, whatever it is, I must start my own business. Maybe I'll sell food or something if I don't work under someone else's orders. And once I'm successful, I'll find and recruit you guys to be my most loyal employees. Hahahaha."Seeing that Jaxon was only joking made Jake and Dean push him to the bed. Then they beat Jaxon with a pillow. Now the room was filled with their laughter. Jake then said, "Son of a bitch, damn it. At first, I seriously listened to everything you said. It turns out that this son of a bitch is playing us."But after that, Jake's face suddenly turned serious, and he said, "Jaxon, I, as your best friend, fully support what you just said. Your words earlier have opened my eyes. How my mentality all this time was just a low mentality. A subordinate mentality that always feels comfortable being under the control of others and obediently following the direction of other people's pointing fingers. I hope that someday
