"Sophia, are you going to cancel all their bonuses?"

She was still hesitant. After all, those were her relatives! She was struggling inside.

"Are they going to stay for the New Year? Cancel all the bonuses except for Uncle Noah."

Seeing her hesitation, Daniel knew that her weakness had surfaced again and made a decisive decision.

Sophia hesitated but ultimately agreed to the decision.

Then, she looked at Daniel and finally asked her doubts "How did your leg suddenly get better? And, why are you like this today...

She felt that Daniel today was completely different from before, not caring about anything. When Daniel scolded Uncle Noah and others in the cafe just now, he was imposing.

Thinking of this, she saw a glimmer of light in Daniel’s beautiful eyes.

Is this Daniel’s true personality?

But why did he hide it for five years?

She thought of this, her heart was in a mess, and Daniel was a little uncomfortable and

said, "Are you ready?"

Ready for what?

Sophia was a little confused, but she felt that Daniel seemed a little sad at the moment.

"In fact… Daniel was about to speak, but suddenly a commotion came, and they had unknowingly arrived at the company.

But the current situation of the company was a bit bad, and a swarm of people crowded at the door, making a lot of noise.

Suddenly, someone with sharp eyesight spoke up, "She's the CEO of Hughes Company! Let's demand an explanation from her!"

The voice immediately stirred up the crowd, and many people who were still following the crowd subconsciously joined in to block the

car.

"What's going on?" Daniel felt that something was not right. Just then, a mournful cry came from the crowd, "Mom! Mom, what's wrong with you!?"

The cry was extremely heart-wrenching, causing many people to involuntarily give way. A man was holding his elderly mother and came to the front of the car, wailing,

"General Manager He! Didn't you promise to strictly control the quality of your products?

Why did my mother have a problem!?"

As soon as he asked this question, many people responded

"Yes, General Manager Sophia, we trusted you and bought your company's products!"

"I had someone else test this medicine, and it's full of expired and inferior herbs! General Manager Sophia, you can't be so excessive!"

The scene suddenly became noisy.

Sophia’s face turned pale as paper. She didn't expect the other party to be so ruthless. If this incident was not handled properly, Hughes Group would be finished.

"Wait!

I will give you a reasonable explanation!"

Just as she opened the window, someone threw several rotten eggs inside!

This made Daniel immediately furious, "Who the hell threw that!?"

His voice and momentum were extremely strong, causing many people to step back.

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out,

"What's going on? You guys from Hughes Group dare to do it but not admit it! This medicine is from your company!"

Daniel was furious and, ignoring Sophia's dissuasion, got out of the car and went straight to a certain place!

Others dared not stop him, and many people looked at him with suspicion. Then Daniel directly locked onto a boy in a blue shirt, his face darkening, "Was it you who threw it!?"

The boy had wanted to escape, but when he saw the situation, he coldly snorted, "So what if it was me! Does your wife dare to do it but not admit it!?"

But what he didn't expect was that Daniel slapped him in the face without any warning.

"What!

Your company is big now and you want to bully people!"

Amid the boy's screams, Daniel slapped him again without any mercy.

The slaps continued without any pause, causing everyone to tall silent.

The boy's mouth hurt, and he even spat out a few teeth!

"What, what do you want to do!"

He was really afraid that Daniel would slap him to death!

At this moment, the crowd exploded. They didn't expect Daniel’s first action to be hitting someone instead of apologizing!

But Daniel just threw the cowardly boy aside and pointed at one of them, asking, "Jeffery Timberlake, don't look away, I'm talking about

you!"

He saw the excited crowd, but he didn't shout or scream, he just calmly spoke: "If you want to resolve this matter, then don't deliberately obstruct me."

Without waiting for anyone else to speak, he directly grabbed the teenager who wanted to step back.

"Don't hit me!"

Jeffery Timberlake panicked, afraid that Daniel would just slap him without saying a word!

"Daniel! What do you want to do!"

Sophia got out of the car. These people looked too crazy, and with the guidance of someone with ulterior motives, she could only choose to lock the car door.

"I’ll deal with some issues first. Don't get out of the car!"

Daniel was a little worried that someone in this group would take advantage of the opportunity to do something bad.

Sophia saw his serious expression through the car window and couldn't understand why he was willing to be treated like that without any complaints.

"Don't want to talk?"

Daniel saw that others were about to make a

move, and he fiercely punched a nearby stone, leaving a visible fist mark!

The scene suddenly fell silent. If this punch hit a person, they would probably be disabled if not dead!

Only then did Daniel calmly grab Jeffery and say, "I remember you. 6 months ago, you stopped Sophia’s car, begged her desperately, and borrowed 90,000 dollars.

Now, are you short of money again?"

His words made the faces of the others

change.

Jeffery's face turned red with anger, and he desperately tried to pull his arm away, but despairingly found that their strengths were not on the same level. He felt that the man with a slightly thin figure had the strength of a thousand pounds in his hands.

"What? Forgot?"

Daniel looked like a devil, calmly looking at him. "Do you want me to bring out the contract you signed when you borrowed

money from me?"

"How is that possible!"

Jeffery panicked. Even if he was killed, he couldn't come up with the 90,000 dollars now!

"I didn't sign anything back then..."

His voice suddenly stopped, and Daniel didn't continue to look at him. He pointed to a few people in the crowd, all of whom were poor people who had received favors from Sophia before.

But now they were ungrateful and causing trouble for the company.

There is always a reason for a poor person to be pitiful!

He saw Jeffery trying to escape and grabbed him again. "You were just shouting. Tell me, who in your family has a problem with the medicine?"

His calm face looked like a devil in Jeffery's eyes, and he trembled, even urinating on himself.

What is going on?

He remembered that this person was the

useless son-in-law of the Hughes family!

"It seems not. "

Daniel’s way of dealing with it was a big slap on his face.

Whether Jeffery wanted to speak or not, he didn't let him.

The scene suddenly became terrifyingly

silent.

Under the huge Hughes Company, there was only the sound of slaps echoing.

    No one dared to speak until Daniel finished slapping Jeffery repeatedly. "Stop, stop!' Jeffery’s jaw was swollen, and he quickly begged for mercy. "Now tell me what's going on," Daniel demanded. Jeffery's eyes darted around as if he was thinking of another excuse, but Daniel didn't even listen and slapped him again. Daniel had no mercy because he was almost certain that this bastard was causing trouble. "Stop, I'II talk!" Jeffery's head was buzzing, afraid that Daniel would continue to slap him endlessly and he would end up in the hospital. "Daniel! What are you doing!" Suddenly, a voice rang out. The closed gate of the magnificent Hughes Group suddenly opened, and a greasy middle-aged man came out. He saw Daniel daring to hit a little boy and his face changed. "Daniel, our top priority is to protect our customers! What are you doing now? Do you want the company to make tomorrow's headlines!?"He spoke and directed several security guards to move forward. But Sophia’s cold voice so

    Is that all settled then?" Sophia Hughes couldn't believe how smoothly things had been resolved."I spoke to them reasonably, and they understood," Daniel replied confidently."Speaking reasonably? But different people require different approaches," Daniel explained patiently. He knew that although Sophia controlled the entire company, she lacked experience in this area. "Some people will listen to reason, while others will only respond to force. For those people, you need to use force first before they will listen to reason.""However, there may be people who are truly in dire straits. Although they may be physically healthy, their families may be in desperate need of money. So before doing a good deed, you need to investigate carefully. Otherwise, you may be taken advantage of and end up being seen as a fool. Although I don't care about the money, those who truly need it may lose their last bit of hope."Sophia nodded repeatedly. No one had ever explained these things to her before.

    Yes, young master!" A respectful voice came from the other end, extremely humble and polite.For the past five years, everyone had treated him like a useless person, just someone who knew how to sweet-talk and make Sophia happy, all while living off the Hughes family's wealth.But being addressed as "young master" was a rare occurrence. Suddenly hearing those words he hadn't heard in so long, a barely noticeable smile appeared on his lips, a sign of extreme confidence.Hanging up the phone, he continued to stroke Sophia’s hair.The secretary smiled at the lovely sight of Daniel who was patting Sophia’s head with love in his eyes.Before, she also thought Daniel was a freeloader, but today, he effortlessly resolved the matter of the Hughes family’s dividends and their partnership with Prince sheriffs to seize power. It was enough to blind her eyes!So in her eyes, Daniel had become somewhat mysterious."Mr. Daniel, would you like a cup of coffee?" The secretary poured two cups of coffe

    "Who are you, and why should I believe you?" Alex gave Daniel a suspicious look. His wife had left him and their daughter, when Violet was only one year old, supposedly for a wealthy man. But Alex had not been too upset. He lived a relatively peaceful life, as long as he had enough to eat and feed his daughter.However, after Violet fell ill, he spent all his savings trying to cure her. The doctors said the only way to save her was through a heart transplant, but he couldn't afford it.That was when Mark Holmes appeared out of nowhere. In their rented room, Alex heard a knock on the door and stood up, alert."Dad, is it a bad guy?" Violet asked while playing with her teddy bear."Don't worry, I'm here," Alex gave her a reassuring smile.Violet had a feeling that the person at the door was not a good person, and she was right. The man has a sinister look, with black lips and a scruffy beard."Who are you?" Alex had never seen this man before, despite knowing everyone in the constructi

    "I will find someone else to help," Alex endured the pain from his wound."But there's no one more suitable to save your daughter than me," said Daniel, ignoring Alex’s pain."What?" Alex widened his eyes. Is no one more suitable in the whole world? Did this come from the mouth of that useless Daniel?It seemed that he was used to being embarrassed by the Hughes family and was dissatisfied, wanting to vent his anger."If you don't want Violet to be sold for her organs by Mark, then tell me everything you know about him," Daniel said."Okay, I will tell you, " Alex recognized that following Daniel was his only hope, and immediately gave him Mark’s phone number and social media name."How do we save her?" he asked with acynical expression, wanting to see Daniel's expression.Daniel hid his expression well and thought about some rescue routes with a frown."Don't stay in the hospital. Only you and I can save Violet," Daniel said."How can I help you when I'm so badly injured?" Daniel w

    Violet had been following Daniel all along. When she spoke, Daniel felt that she was very similar to his younger sister, Raylie.His sister was also a baby who couldswitch between being a caring sister, a proud sister, and a sickly sister. In other words, she had three different personalities and couldhighlight one of them at any given time.Raylie couldn't speak because of an illnesscaused by an attack on her. This was one of the reasons why Daniel worked so hard, to make sure she could speak one day. If she couldn't, he would still make sure she had a good life. He had even privately vowed to Raylie that he would make sure she had afairytale-like life.Now, Violet's heart had failed, and she looked completely sickly. What was the difference between her and his sickly sister?"Daniel bear, can you answer some questions for me?" In Daniel's conversation with her father just now, she had learned that this person's name was Daniel. So, she decided to call him Ice, which matched his

    After dinner, Sophia personally helpedViolet washed up and then took her to her room to sleep."Aunty Sophia, I think you and Uncle Daniel should sleep in the same room, I can sleep in another room, " Violet said."Violet, don't talk nonsense. Me and your uncle have never slept in the same room," Sophia replied."But isn't he your husband?" Violet asked."Violet, don't ask questions like that in the future. It's enough to know in your heart." Daniel said before entering the bedroom."Uncle Ice, I promise I won't say it anymore, but Violet wishes you both a long and happy life together," Violet said."Well said," Daniel and Sophia said at the same time.The night was very quiet, but it wasn't so calm after waking up in the morning. Sophia's residence was located in the back garden of the company headquarters, where there was a delicate but somewhat old building made of brick and wood, with three floors.This was built by her grandfather after becoming wealthy, and he instructed her t

It turned out that when Sophia’s grandfather passed away, he was present and had heard the last words, so he knew it was true without reading it.Everyone fell silent, and in an instant, many people vented their anger on Daniel."Daniel, you useless fool, you've done another good deed. We'll hold you accountable for all the money!" Uncle Hilary said."If it weren't for Daniel, I would have enough money to buy a car!" John said angrily.What about my ten-day trip to Europe and Asia?" Hilary also said "Daniel, it's all because of you. You're a burden to our family. You never consider us when you do things."It's not that we won't get revenge, it's just that the time hasn't come yet!" Michael's face was full of hatred. For a while, the hall was filled with curses.At this moment, Sophia’s secretary, walked in and said,

    "I'II speaks for Miss Grimwald, Daniel said. "Miss Grimwald's current enemies are my younger brother Archer, Mateo from King City Hidden Family, and Mark Holmes. They are all pursuing Miss Grimwald, but she doesn't agree and rejects them. This is why they sometimes act alone and sometimes unite to deal with the Grimwald family, causing some unrest in the family." "So that's what's going on, Nathaniel said indignantly. Mrs. Nora also added, "Forcing something to happen never ends well. Don't they know that?" "These three people are difficult to deal with. Archer is almost crazy for Miss Grimwald, Mateo is almost sinister, and Mark is almost cruel," Daniel said. "Give me Archer's phone number!" Nathaniel was very angry. He wanted to use this opportunity to solve Archer’s problem. Because Nathaniel had not been to King City for more than five years, he did not have Archer's phone number. Daniel found Archer's phone number and Nathaniel took the phone and called him. "Daniel,

    "Yes, it's me," Daniel answered decisively.Immediately, Maggie put down the tea on the coffee table and bowed respectfully to Daniel, "Now that I've seen the true face of Daniel, I feel honored to have met you!"Daniel also gave a bow in return, "Teacher Maggie, in your field of research, there are almost no people in the world who understand it. So, in a way, I am also honored to have met you. "Maggie chuckled but didn't comment."Alright, everyone please take a seat," Mrs. Nora said, "Raylie, Violet, come and greet the teacher!"Raylie and Violet walked over and knelt in front of Maggie, saying in unison, "Students Raylie and Violet, pay our respects to Teacher Maggie!"Maggie looked at the two children, who were both very intelligent and liked them very much, "I also have good students like you. I am very pleased, and I hope that you will all succeed in the future. If one of you fails, it will be my failure as an educator. So, we must work together, understand?""We will listen t

    Daniel and Sophia arrived at the airport and as soon as they got out of the car, they saw Miss Grimwald, who was holding a child in one hand and had Raylie on her left and Violet on her right. There were also two servants helping them carry their luggage and packages."Daniel!" The two children called out and ran towards Daniel and Sophia, hugging them tightly."Were you told that your grandparents are coming?" Violet asked."Yes," Daniel replied. But Raylie started crying, her eyes turning red. Daniel knew how she felt and patted her back. "We'll see our parents soon. And you need to act like everything is okay, so they won't worry."'I know," Raylie nodded, wiping away her tears. Miss Grimwald and Sophia didn't have any awkwardness between them. Sophia walked up to Miss Grimwald and extended her hand, saying politely, "Miss Grimwald, it's a pleasure to meet you on this island.""It's really lucky. I heard that Ms. Sophia is investing here?" Miss Grimwald smiled."Yes, although Hughe

    As Daniel spoke, the nine planets relaxed and each found a seat to sit in.

The location is at the Bright Building in the central area of Jan County.""Does she know that we are coming to see her?""She already knows. Carolina has sent her a notice.""She may be a difficult person to deal with, so everyone needs to be fully prepared.""Yes!" The Nine countries responded in unison. The car arrived at the Building, where a red carpet had been laid out."Is this red carpet for us?" Daniel asked."Yes," said Germany. "When I came to scout yesterday, there was no red carpet. Moreover, Miss Morgana has not had any business these days and has been refusing visitors. Who else could it be for if not us?"Daniel understood and got out of the car first.At the same time, the doors of the

    Daniel observed calmly. Suddenly, he saw a flash of gold in Casey's sleeve. The gold had wings and blood-red eyes! It was the Golden Silkworm!”Daniel was certain. "Attack!" Casey ordered softly.The Golden Silkworm immediately emerged from Casey’s sleeve and flew towards Daniel. Rather than saying it attacked, it was more appropriate to say it darted. Daniel was prepared and dodged to the side.In an instant, a wooden pillar behind him snapped in half from the impact. The force was stronger than he had anticipated. The Golden Silkworm turned around and darted towards Daniel again. Daniel dodged once more. The silkworm then changed tactics, spinning around to form a smaller circle. Daniel held a dagger in his left hand and remained still, using a strategy of stillness to overcome motion. Casey was not one to give up easily and retrieved the Golden Silkworm into herpalm."Beat up Sophia!" Hilary knew the unbearable pain the Golden Silkworm inflicted on her and only wanted to kill Sop

    The night in Jango County was beautiful, with neon lights flashing and people bustling about. A variety of people, including locals and foreigners, seemed to blend into the city. Sophia noticed that Daniel was looking around as he walked, and she thought he was being too cautious. "Daniel, there's no need to be so vigilant. Besides, I have some martial arts skills too.""There's always someone better, and there are always bigger challenges. Don't be too confident, Daniel replied. Sophia didn't say anything more, because in her mind, Daniel had never made a mistake, so she naturally trusted him.After observing the area for a while, Daniel couldn't sense any danger in the vicinity, so he relaxed. He took out his phone and called Kenneth Storm, who was on a mission on Jango Island. Kenneth Storm answered, "Daniel, I heard you're in Jango County. Is that true?""Of course, I'm just strolling through the night market here. I wanted to say thank you to you and Biden for saving my father's

    "Hilary, we are unfamiliar with this place. Where can we find people to deal with Sophia?" John already had an answer: "Hilary, don't you have a good relationship with Joseph from The Black Hand headquarters? Ask him to find some people for you. It's easy!""Yes, Joseph and Daniel are rivals. The people he brings can deal with Daniel, and we can deal with Sophia, striving to leave no evidence." John laughed, but Hilary was confident. Hilary then called Joseph. "Hilary, what's up?" After becoming a high-level executive, Joseph's tone had changed and he sounded superior."Joseph, we have encountered a problem. Daniel and Sophia are going to invest in Jango Island.""Daniel invest? Does he have the ability?""I just said it wrong. It's Sophia who is investing here, and Daniel is here with her." "I know something about their affairs. I heard it when the president was complaining.""Now, we want to take down Daniel and make Sophia have no reliance. What do you think?" Hilary didn't dare t

    "Sophia, you are insulting our character by treating us as impure and scum. We will not let you go for this!" John slammed his teacup on the table. Hilary also chimed in, "Sophia, you don't look down on us, do you?""John, Hilary, please tell Uncle Michael and Uncle Ethan after you go back, for the long-term prosperity of Hughes Group, we will no longer follow the path of family inheritance," Sophia had made up their minds, and John and Hilary glanced at each other and didn't drink their tea anymore. John glanced at Daniel and saw that he was playing with his phone, looking carefree.He said, "Sophia, Daniel can't be by your side all the time. Many bad people are investing in Jango Island. Aren't you worried about this?"A blatant threat!He Luo added, "It's better to have family members by your side, at least they can share your worries and solve your problems for you." Sophia smiled faintly, "The one standing is my bodyguard, and the bodyguard fee is paid by Daniel.""What? Daniel,
