When Sophia had nothing to do, she received a call from Joseph."Hey, Joseph, where are you now?" Sophia asked, feeling concerned.'I'm in Ascot Ridge," Joseph replied."Is everything okay?" Sophia asked."No, it's not. I lost another 50,000 pesos in gambling," Joseph said."Where did you lose it?" Sophia asked."At the underground boxing arena in Ascot Ridge. At first, I won, but then the staff there told me that it was easy to win the Lamborghini if I kept playing. So I got greedy and bet a lot, but ended up losing. Now, I'm having problems with my daily life..." Joseph explained. Sophia’s face turned red with anger.She scolded him sternly, "Joseph, what you did was wrong!""Cousin, can you lend me another 50,000 pesos? I promise to listen to you and not gamble again," Joseph pleaded. Sophia was about to reply when Daniel took the phone from him and said, "Joseph, you're always asking your cousin for money. That's called freeloading. I suggest that your cousin should not give you a
At the moment, Sophia couldn't speak out. Feeling helpless, she turned to Pablo and said, "Pablo, I forbid you to recruit Joseph as your subordinate!""Sophia, this matter is settled. Don't say anything more," Pablo didn't give her a chance to speak. However, Sophia persisted. She knew that once Joseph joined The Black Hand, it would be impossible for him to leave. "Joseph, if you join The Black Hand, there will be no more cousin relationship between us. If you don't join, you can join the company back. The choice is yours."Joseph had already made up his mind. Being rejected by the pharmaceutical factory in the northern suburbs due to lack of funds was a great humiliation for him. If he joined The Black Hand headquarters directly, he could directly control the northern suburbs pharmaceutical factory and become the overlord, including Ethan, Camilla, and John. It would be the pinnacle of his life. "Cousin, I have decided.Even if you don't recognize me as yourcousin!"He wanted to sa
To show his power, he waved his hand, and Praise, Baldy, Scar, and several other small leaders walked up to him, bowing respectfully, "Hello, President!""Well, hello everyone! You all did a good job just now and didn't embarrass The Black Hand. Now, let me introduce you to a new core member of The Black Hand headquarters, the protagonist of this incident…”"Joseph?" Everyone asked in unison, some with incredulous expressions, and some with dissatisfaction."President, I have met Joseph before. He is idle and does nothing. I didn't even let him join the pharmaceutical factory in the northern suburbs, but you used him. This is not convincing!" Praise's face was full of opposition."Yes, President, you didn't use him properly."Baldy's tone was a bit unique, full of broken notes. Pablo had his plan, and his face gradually became unhappy: "Are you the President or am I the President? Once I have made a decision, it will not change again."Joseph stood there at first with some taboo, but
On the way, Jasper asked, "I wonder if there has been any improvement in my father's condition?""In another twenty days, Mr. President will be able to meet with your father, and his condition will certainly have improved." was the reply.Jasper laughed heartily upon hearing this, showing a sense of relief. Upon arriving at the presidential palace, Daniel and Sophia received an unprecedented level of reception. However, as they were in the presidential palace, Sophia was the one in her element. The reason was that Daniel had already explained to Jasper that he had come to the island to see his parents, but for their safety, they had to keep a low profile. Jasper agreed to this.That night, Sophia stayed in a hotel, with Daniel in the room next door. The nine countries, disguised and taking turns on guard duty, kept watch day and night. The next day, Sophia and Daniel went to the mountain valley county on the island under the guise of conducting an inspection. The county was the econo
Jasper pressed a button to select a floor and arrived at a room on that floor. He knocked on the door. The door opened quickly, and Daniel saw his long-lost mother. She looked older and less beautiful than before."Mom!" Daniel cried out, rushing over and bursting into tears. Mrs. Gordon patted his shoulder. "Don't cry, Daniel. How's your sister Raylie?"She's doing well, taken care of by Miss Grimwald. And your goddaughter Violet is also doing well.""Violet? Who is she?" Mrs. Gordon asked.Daniel was about to answer, but Mrs. Gordon apologized and said, "Mr. President, please come in, and let's talk."Jasper smiled. "Okay." Everyone went to the spacious living room and sat down. Jasper said, "Mrs. Gordon if I hadn't taken my father to Base Six for treatment this time, I wouldn't have met your son Daniel. When he asked about you, I told him about your situation in Jango County, which allowed you to meet again.""Thank you so much!""It's just mutual help.Daniel glanced around the l
Upon hearing that the research direction was cancer treatment, President Jasper was very pleased and applauded, "There are many cancer patients on Jango Island who cannot work and even have poor self-care abilities. It can be said that they are a burden on their families. If we can really develop these drugs, we will no longer need to import expensive cancer drugs. This is great news for Jango Island!"Sophia’s face showed a happy expression because President Jasper praise meant that Hughes Group would have a bright future in investments. Not only her, but also Daniel’s mom and Daniel were happy for her.Not long after, a voice came from the room where Reika was sleeping, "Madam Nora, I feel feverish all over my body!"Madam Nora quickly stood up and made a phone call, "Doctor Kennedy, come and give Reika a check-up.""Yes!" The voice on the other end was crisp and neat.Seeing that Madam Nora about to start another busy task, Jasper, Daniel, and Sophia exchanged glances and stood up
Nathaniel shook his head. "I don't know. I heard they came to Jango Island for tourism." Daniel thought for a moment. There were still many suspicious things. He had to keep an eye on them."Maybe they have a purpose for coming this time?" Daniel reminded.Nathaniel felt that it was unlikely. "I have been away from King City for more than four years, and I have no conflicts with these younger brothers. Do they still have opinions and want me to make way for them?"Daniel nodded. "I think we should be careful." Nathaniel always trusted his son Daniel. He smiled. "Okay, they will be here soon. You can secretly observe this matter.""Okay."About an hour later, several uncles from the Gordon family arrived, including Paxton, Preston, Kairo, and Nash. Paxton brought his daughter Kylie, and Nash brought his son Ryker. Many other people from the Gordon family did not come this time. They were still particular about the scene. They rode in an extended Lincoln, with new BMWs carrying their bo
Sophia followed Daniel's orders and prepared a chamber pot. Five minutes later, Rykar began to move his body and with a loud cry, he vomited everything in his stomach. This time, Gordon’s family had lost face. Not only did they fail to achieve their goal, but their people were also humiliated.Everyone was angry, but they couldn't express it."Let's go," Paxton didn't want to stay here any longer. After all, it was quite embarrassing. Preston, Kairo, and Kylie all nodded in agreement. Nash carried Rykar on his back, and the group left quietly.Daniel walked to Nathaniel's side and said, "Dad, they already know your hiding place. They may come to harass us again.""They also know my methods. It's unlikely they'll try the same thing again after failing the first time, Nathaniel replied."But we still need to be careful." Daniel reminded him."Okay," Nathaniel nodded.Daniel then asked, "Should we remind Archer to be cautious?'"Tell him, so he can be prepared," Nathaniel agreed.Finall
