"Hilary, to be honest with you, the reason why I agreed to become your boyfriend and marry into your family was because I was attracted by your family's wealth of several million. However, when you invested in my father's company, it played right into my hands. But unexpectedly, I encountered an unexpected rival, Joshua, and now I am the one who is at a disadvantage. My father's company's market value has plummeted, and without any help, we are unable to make ends meet and are on the verge of bankruptcy. I got to know you, but it seems like I have met with a jinx!""Vance, why are you saying this about me?""Hilary, I can say whatever I want to say. Now we are like two fleas on the same rope. As long as my family goes bankrupt, you will too!""Vance, please listen to me. Don't be like this, okay?" Hilary's voice was trembling."I've said everything I need to say.Goodbye!" The other party hung up withoutany mercy. Hilary burst into tears. Gwen sat beside her and handed her a cup of
When everyone arrived at Sophia’s house, they were surprised to see a group of important people sitting there. Among them were Randle, the male assistant of Wong Tai Base, Carolina, the female assistant of Wong Tai Base, Douglas from Ascot Ridge, Miss Grimwald father in King City, and Elijah, the steward of the Grimwald family. These people were all influential figures in the business world.Everyone was stunned, including Sophia. She didn't expect Daniel to find so many helpers in such a short time."Please have a seat, everyone. Let's discuss how to deal with this matter. As an outsider who knows nothing about it, I'II leave it to Carolina, the deputy assistant of Wong Tai Base, to handle it." Sophia said.Everyone applauded, and Carolina stood up, her eyes shining. "Daniel is too kind. Without his analysis data in the past two days, I couldn't guarantee that this matter could be successfully resolved!" She meant that Wong Tai Base could turn the tables. Hearing this, everyone's eye
After the incident at the company, Vance revealed the plot to take over the Hughes family's assets. Therefore, Hilary was still angry with Vance for the time being."Vance, from now on, our two families have no relationship other than being business partners. Let's not mention our past as lovers again!" Michael and Julie agreed with Hilary’s decision, nodding their heads and looking at each other. Michael spoke up, "Vance, Hilary is the jewel of our family. You and your parents deceived us and her feelings. This is unacceptable to us. Therefore, I completely agree with Hilary that our two families only have a business relationship, nothing more!"Vance's forehead was covered in cold sweat after hearing this. He didn't have any feelings for Hilary, but he was worried that too many people had heard about his family's shameful secrets. Where could he and his parents still show their faces?The only solution now was to argue with Hilary, using reason and logic to confuse the listeners an
Upon hearing Daniel’s singing, Sophia felt even more invigorated, knowing that Daniel was happy at the moment. With that in mind, she felt that her efforts in cooking were worth it. As dinner was served, Sophia opened a bottle of vintage red wine. Just by looking at the label and production date, one could tell that it was a special bottle. After pouring the wine, Sophia said, "Today is my first time cooking. From now on, I won't be taking your salary as a full-time chef anymore, because I'II be cooking myself and won't be exploiting you anymore.""That's great. It's good to see that you're becoming more approachable," Daniel praised. Sophia was surprised, "Have I been unapproachable for the past five years?""Yes, you always seemed to be high and mighty, making people feel like you were out of reach. It's only today that I feel like I can be friends with you," Daniel explained. Sophia felt uneasy, realizing that Gwen’s words had brought her closer to Daniel. She might need to ask for
"Could it be that Daniel is such a big obstacle?""What ability does he have? He's just a waste, at most he's good at sweet-talking!""Hehe, that kind of ability, who doesn't know about it!"Daniel heard it but didn't care. When Gwen heard the discussion at work, she smiled knowing that she had played a certain role in convincing Sophia.After a few weeks, Sophia’s cooking skills had improved greatly. However, trouble came when she was immersed in her culinary skills. Gwen’s father, jewelry and antique shop officially merged with the antique business of Rafael. Gwen invited Daniel and Sophia to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Daniel and Sophia happily agreed to go.When the two arrived at Gwen’s father's jewelry and antique shop, Gwen’s depression had already lifted. She and her father welcomed the guests with smiles on their faces.Unexpectedly, Daniel received unprecedented hospitality at Gwen’s father's house because he had helped Rafael subdue the three thugs Reji, Jayce, and
Upon arriving at the hotel, Gwen’s father and his friends welcomed Daniel with applause.There was an empty seat next to Gwen’s father, and he gestured for Daniel to sit with him. Daniel was no longer seen as useless by the others because of Gwen’s father's support. As they say, love me, love my dog.Just then, a person walked in and took the lead. Daniel was surprised to see that it was John. "What are you doing here?" asked Sophia, knowing that he was not a friendly person.John was smoking a cigar and had a haughty expression on his face. He didn't even bother to acknowledge the people in front of him. Behind him were Praise and a very strong man. This strong man was Kenneth Storm, who looked even more disdainful.However, when he met Daniel’s gaze, he felt a little uneasy. At the ribbon-cutting ceremony at noon, he didn't get any advantage at all. Daniel was sabotaging him!Finally, the bald man and the scarred man walked in. Everyone knew that these people were not here to celebr
At the dinner party, Daniel noticed that Sophia did not drink a drop of alcohol. He knew her thoughts and had already had a drink himself. It was a time of trouble, and someone had to refrain from drinking!Sophia glanced at him and blinked her eyes as if to say, "Daniel, you drink. One person not drinking is enough.Daniel took a deep breath and didn't refuseto drink for the rest of the night. Gwen’s father was amazed by Daniel’s ability to hold his liquor. He had never seen anyone like him before. As everyone was leaving, three bodyguards approached Daniel with a worried look on their faces. They all agreed that they still couldn't handle Kenneth Storm Tendon's muscle and asked Daniel for advice.Daniel gave them a suggestion: "When facing Kenneth Storm, don't stand together. One person uses palm strikes while the other two attack." The three men nodded and thanked him. Sophia drove, and Daniel sat in the passenger seat as they headed home. Daniel was drunk and fell asleep on the s
Kenneth was angry, feeling that Tatum's methods were too underhanded. Kenneth had no problem dealing with these guards with his methods. Kenneth showed no signs of panic. Tatum glanced at Kenneth and said,"About the 10 million from earlier, have you paid up?"Kenneth was furious but did not show it on the surface. He reached into his pocket and took out a card, but at that moment, a voice came from outside the door, "How come you didn't invite me to this high-stakes gamblinggame?"Kenneth felt relieved because he recognized the voice as that of the boss Daniel."Daniel, you're here!" Kenneth called out. "Kenneth, it seems like you used to be a gambling buddy!" Daniel said."Daniel, I won't do it again. If I have money, I'll just send it to my parents in the countryside," Kenneth replied. With 10 million, his parents in the countryside could live in a mansion and eat and drink whatever they wanted!Kenneth began to regret it, but there was no turning back now. Without hesitation, he
