After finishing a cup of tea, Mr. Garcia couldn't wait any longer. "We've had our tea and snacks, let's sign the contract and get this done. I have things to do," he said."Sure thing," replied Sophia, standing up with a sweet voice.Wait!The contract was still in Ms. Hughes's hands? Mr. Garcia was surprised. Wasn't it lost?Even if there was a one percent chance of finding it, it shouldn't have been found, right?But looking at Ms. Hughes's calm expression, he knew he was being foolish. Equally surprised was Ethan. Didn't Henry Thompson steal the contract and hide it in the safe? Why was Ms. Hughes so calm?He became worried and went to the restroom to call Henry Thompson. "Henry, what's going on? Where's the contract and the copy?""Mr. Ethan, I'm in the hospital!" Henry Thompson's voice was panicked and uneasy."I don't care if you're in the hospital or not, Iwant the contract, the contract! Do you understand?"My tendons were cut and the contract was stolen!""Who did it?"In hi
"Sophia, the contract has been signed, which means that Hughes Group now has a subsidiary. This is significant, like a small wheel that, when combined with Hughes Group's existing big wheel, forms a bicycle. The development speed will be faster, don't you all agree?" Ethan flattered Sophia."Of course, but we need to arrange some personnel for the subsidiary. This matter still needs to be decided by Miss. Hughes!" Prince Sheriff also spoke up.Ethan glanced at Prince Sheriff and became unhappy. Prince Sheriff was just a chess piece arranged by Ethan in the company. He had to listen to Ethan's words.Therefore, Prince Sheriff was now anxious and knew that he had made a mistake just now.He had originally wanted to arrange for his son, who had just graduated from university, as a senior management personnel in the subsidiary. But Ethan's eyes made him feel that things were not going to be easy.However, he still had a way, which was to listen to Ethan in everything, flatter him, and mak
As today was the day for signing the contract, the headquarters of the company did not have to work in the afternoon, so Daniel and Sophia were able to come to the hospital to visit Violet. When they entered the intensive care unit, Violet was sleeping. Alex Robert was sitting in front of her, possibly because he had stayed up late taking care of her the night before and had been dozing off."Uncle Alex!" Daniel and Sophia called out together.Alex woke up and was surprised to see Daniel and Sophia. "Daniel, Sophia, aren't you supposed to be signing the contract? How did you find time to come here?""The contract was signed successfully!" Sophia said, handing Alex a basket of fruits and yogurt she had bought at the supermarket. "People bring food and medicine every day, so there's no need to spend money," she added."Eating is one thing, but feeding Violet fruit is also important to ensure her nutritional balance," Alex agreed, nodding his head.He took the bag and placed it on the
On their way back, Daniel was driving the car.Halfway through, Daniel felt that someone was chasing them. Looking carefully at the rearview mirror, there were three cars in total, two pickups and a van. Judging from the speed of the three cars chasing them, Daniel could tell that they were trying to kill him and Sophia. Daniel wore a talisman on his chest from his childhood, which could ward off danger, but it was different for Sophia. Daniel was angry about this because Sophia was already considered as his family. So, he ordered Sophia, who was in the passenger seat,"Fasten your seat belt and close your eyes!""Okay, Sophia replied calmly, which surprised him because normally she would have been asking him questions.Although she didn't think Daniel had any special abilities, his calm tone of command at this moment gave her enough sense of security. Moreover, she looked at Daniel’s driving skills, which were much better than hers, and felt relieved. Daniel stepped on the accelerat
"Sophia, let's go," Daniel said, holding her lightly trembling hand.Sophia is no ordinary person. Despite the dangerous situation, she remained calm and collected. As the CEO of Hughes Group of Company, she was more than capable of handling the situation."Okay, but those thugs in the car got off easy. I want to kick them a few times."Sophia said.Daniel teased her, "I never thought the mighty CEO of Hughes Company would have such a vengeful heart!"Yunmeng smiled and replied, "Who doesn't have a vengeful heart? Only fools and lunatics."You're right," Daniel agreed.They got into the car and Daniel drove away.They had to travel to a small town before taking a detour back to their destination, as they were already far from the city. During the journey, Sophia remained silent, lost in thought about the strange incident that had just occurred. How did those ten or so men who were attacking them suddenly end up in the car, without any resistance, within a matter of seconds? It was like
John crossed her arms and looked at Alex with disdain. Joseph and Hilary also looked at Alex with contempt and sometimes glanced at Daniel and Sophia with provocation.Just now, Daniel had easily dealt with a security guard with one hand, lifting him high and throwing him to the ground, completely shattering their beliefs. It could be said that if he had such amazing power, and someone said he was useless, some people might start to doubt it. So, they had to be cautious. If he had divine power, they had to deal with him to avoid any future harm to themselves.As everyone waited to laugh at Alex, they also stared at Daniel with fear. They were afraid that if Daniel was to get angry, he would lift them and throw them to the ground, breaking their bones.Daniel was interested in Alex. From his skilled writing, Daniel knew that he must have excellent literary talent to have such inspiration.The hall was quiet for a while, and after about ten minutes, Alex said, "I'm done writing!" He sto
Upon arriving at the hotel, Daniel realized that it was the same Hotel that had provided free food therapy to Violet.Although the manager, Keith, was not present, the staff in the lobby were all stunned upon seeing Daniel. After all, he was a friend to the chairman of the hotel and deserved to be treated with the utmost respect.The lobby manager approached Daniel with a friendly smile and extended a welcoming hand. "Hello, Daniel! We're so honored to have you here today. Your presence truly brightens up our hotel."Daniel replied politely, "Thank you for your warm welcome. We're here today because of the hotel's excellent reputation and service, so I'm grateful to all the staff for providing us with such a wonderful experience." The lobby manager was impressed by Daniel’s eloquence and quickly led him to his room. Just then, the rest of the Hughes family arrived, each one flaunting their status and treating the hotel staff with disdain. The lobby manager knew better than to provoke
After four rounds of drinking, Ethan and his companions still couldn't get anything reasonable. Ethan’s face was no longer smiling as before but remained cold throughout the evening. Alex noticed something was off but didn't say anything. He glanced at Daniel, who was already completely drunk, and suddenly realized that he had been drunk since the first glass. This was unusual, and he became alert. These people must have something against Daniel From now on, I need to be more careful and not let them manipulate me. With this in mind, he began to pretend to be drunk. He had the highest alcohol tolerance among them. Ethan’s wife, Camilla, saw that her husband had spent tens of thousands of dollars on the dinner but still hadn't found the cause of the supernatural event. She couldn't help but vent her anger on Daniel. Just as Daniel opened his eyes from leaning against the chair, their eyes met, and she immediately became furious."Daniel, you pig and a leech why are you staring at me?"
