After much contemplation, Amanda sighed, "Mom, let it go. It's come to this, just leave it be."
Ellie shouted, "No! I absolutely won't allow such a person to enter the gates of our Nixon family. If this gets out, where can I put my face?"
"Amanda, don't worry. Tomorrow, Mom will find you someone—a rich second-generation with power and influence. Anyone would be better than this useless guy!"
Amanda helplessly exclaimed, "Mom!"
Saying this, she dragged Ellie into the house.
Ellie, shouting and crying, said, "Get out! Get out!"
Amanda, now also in tears, used all her strength to pull Ellie inside. The sounds of mother and daughter crying echoed from the house.
At this point, Ken couldn't stand still. There was a flash of killing intent in his eyes, and he dialed a number on his phone.
After a brief ring, a rabbit's voice came from the other end, "Speak, what's the matter?"
Getting straight to the point, Ken said, "Three minutes, I need all the information on Nixon Group."
The rabbit, sensing the hidden hostility in Ken's tone, readily agreed.
Not even three minutes later, Ken received a message containing all the information on Nixon Group on his phone. Looking through the data, Ken furrowed his brows.
It seemed that the current situation of the Nixon Group wasn't optimistic. With threats from both sides, things were becoming interesting.
"Help me with one more thing," Ken requested.
...
Samuel Nixon smugly sat in his office, unexpectedly having so easily driven Amanda away. It was beyond his expectations.
Now, as long as he could secure the cooperation with Charles Group, his position in the Nixon family would rise even higher. Even if he became the successor to the Nixon family in the future, it wouldn't be impossible.
Worried that time was of the essence, Samuel Nixon disregarded his swollen face and immediately headed to Charles Group with the new contract in hand.
Parking his car downstairs, Samuel Nixon swaggered into Charles Group.
"Is Manager Charles available? I'm here to sign a contract!"
The receptionist politely inquired, "Hello, sir. Do you have an appointment?"
Samuel Nixon's anger flared up instantly, looking dissatisfied with the receptionist. "Tell your Manager Carl Charles that I'm Samuel Nixon, the general manager of Nixon Group. We've been in talks with Manager Charles for a long time about this project. I'm here today specifically to sign the contract."
The receptionist smiled faintly, "I'm sorry, sir. Without an appointment, Manager Charles won't see anyone."
Samuel Nixon cursed, "You, a receptionist, dare to stop me? If you delay this project, can you bear the responsibility?"
At this moment, a stern voice intervened, "Just a small project. I, Carl Charles, can handle this responsibility."
Seeing the newcomer, Samuel Nixon immediately put on a smile and said in a low voice, "Manager Carl, you're joking. Your status is beyond comparison with someone like me."
Carl Charles sneered, "Who are you? Do I know you?"
Smiling, Samuel Nixon introduced himself, "Manager Carl, I'm Samuel Nixon, the general manager of Nixon Group."
"Oh? I don't think we've met. What are you doing in Charles Group?"
Samuel Nixon quickly presented the contract, saying respectfully, "Manager Carl, this is a contract between our two companies. I've prepared it. Please take a look."
"When did I agree to sign a contract with your Nixon Group?" Carl Charles furrowed his brows.
Samuel Nixon first blanked, then said, "Manager Carl, didn't Amanda discuss it with you?"
Carl Charles coldly snorted, "Yes, Amanda and I discussed it. I'll only sign this project with her."
"Carl Charles..."
"Security, escort the guest out!"
Carl Charles, with a stern face, immediately signaled for security. Dozens of guards rushed over and surrounded Samuel Nixon.
Samuel Nixon was in a hurry. Amanda had already been fired from Nixon Group. How could he call her to sign?
"Carl Charles, Carl Charles, please reconsider! We can still negotiate the price!"
Samuel Nixon was truly anxious. If this project fell through, he would bear the blame!
Carl Charles, a bit impatient, waved to the security guards and then left without looking back.
Samuel Nixon was dragged out by the security guards, shouting loudly, "Carl Charles! Carl Charles!"
When had he, the young master of the Nixon family, ever been so frustrated? He was actually directly kicked out!
"Damn you, Amanda! No wonder you were so unbridled. It turns out you have a thing with Carl Charles! Despicable woman!"
Samuel Nixon felt extremely aggrieved, clenching the contract tightly. He hurriedly went to find Alfred Nixon.
At this moment, in the office of the Chairman of Charles Group, Carl Charles was respectfully making a call.
"Ms. Rabbit, I've done as you asked. May I know who the distinguished person is that can make you take action?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't. He didn't invite me; I'm just doing a favor. Understand?"
"Understood, understood." Carl Charles nodded quickly.
"Carl Charles, don't disappoint us." After saying this, the call was hung up.
Carl Charles, with sweat on his forehead, knew more about the Rabbit's department than anyone else. Even though others might not know much about her, he understood clearly.
In the entire Marinopolis, the department that the Rabbit belonged to was terrifying. But she claimed to be doing a favor for someone, and that person was probably in Marinopolis now and closely related to Amanda.
Carl Charles made up his mind that no matter who Samuel Nixon brought in, he would stand firmly on Amanda's side.
Nixon HouseAlfred Nixon was sitting in the Nixon family sipping his coffee, quite pleased with how he had handled Amanda and her departure.Outside the courtyard, Samuel Nixon rushed in, looking anxious. Alfred Nixon frowned, displeased with his son's appearance."Samuel! What's this disheveled look? How can you inherit the Nixon family acting like this?" Alfred scolded.Samuel caught his breath and hurriedly said, "Dad, something's wrong. Carl Charles from Charles Group insists on signing the contract only with Amanda. He even threw me out. I don't know what kind of magic potion Amanda used on him!"Alfred Nixon's face darkened. "Do you know how much effort our Nixon family put into securing this project? Now, he refuses to sign the contract? I don't care what means you use, but you must get this contract signed. If the contract falls through, you'll take the blame!"Samuel Nixon's face turned pale. He thought he had stumbled upon a windfall, but it turned out to be a hot potato."W
In front of the Starlando Hotel, a handsome young man in a suit had been waiting for some time, respectfully welcoming the mother and daughter.The Rabbit explained, "This guy is Marvin Carey, a notorious playboy in Marinopolis. He preys on men and bullies women, a typical scumbag."Marvin Carey disguised himself as a gentleman. "Ellie Auntie, is this your daughter?"Amanda's delicate face and well-proportioned figure were enough to attract any man, especially a scoundrel like Marvin Carey.Ellie warmly shook hands with Marvin Carey. "Mr. Marvin Carey, Auntie didn't deceive you, my daughter..."Marvin Carey interrupted, "Actually, I've met Amanda a few times recently. I wonder if she remembers me."Amanda looked at Marvin Carey, finding him somewhat familiar.Seeing Ellie and Amanda, Marvin Carey extended his hand. "Ellie Auntie, Amanda, let's not stand here foolishly. Let's go upstairs and talk."Following behind Marvin Carey, Ellie and Amanda entered a private room on the top floor
The next day.At the break of dawn, when Amanda woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar hotel room.Feeling uneasy, she quickly checked her clothes. Everything was intact, and there were no signs that someone else had been in the bed."What happened exactly?"Amanda was confused and couldn't understand what had transpired after she drank that glass of wine last night.Just as she began feeling dizzy and overwhelmed, the door suddenly opened.Ken walked in."Awake?"The two locked eyes, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere."Last night..."Amanda hesitated, fearing to learn that something unpleasant had indeed happened."You had an allergic reaction to something at the dinner table, fainted, and I happened to see it. So, I arranged for you to stay in a hotel room.""Uh..."A blatant lie, utter nonsense.Just as Amanda was about to expose him, Ken suddenly said, "The money issue has been resolved. You can rest assured."Ken, not mentioning the previous matter, began spouting more
"Bang, bang, bang."The frantic knocking on the door frightened Ellie to the core. She cautiously opened the door to find Alfred Nixon and his son at the entrance.Ellie was flustered.Coming to collect debts so early in the morning was overly impatient."Move aside, Amanda! Amanda, get out!"Alfred Nixon, unable to contain his anger, pushed Ellie aside and stormed into the room, yelling.This terrified Ellie even more, and she nervously asked, "Amanda isn't home. What do you want with her?""Where's Amanda?"Alfred Nixon countered.Ellie, now a bit more confident, retorted, "Isn't she out borrowing money? You demand we compensate 50 million, and you won't even let us figure it out. Are you trying to force my daughter and me to our deaths?"Alfred Nixon, furious, declared, "Let me tell you, it's no longer just about 50 million. Amanda, let her come over here immediately!"Ellie, realizing the situation, hurriedly called Amanda.Meanwhile, Amanda and Ken had just left the hotel for bre
To be honest, Alfred Nixon has never suffered such a great humiliation in his life.Trembling, Alfred Nixon dialed the phone again. He was almost enraged to the extreme, speaking incoherently:"So, you want me to publicly kneel and apologize, huh? Fine, I'll apologize publicly. Where are you? I'm coming to apologize!""Victory Square.""Don't leave Victory Square. I'll be there soon."Alfred Nixon angrily hung up the phone, glaring fiercely at Ellie, who was standing there dumbfounded.Without a word, he stormed out, dragging Samuel Nixon along.Ellie was dumbfounded. Since her husband's death, she had been bowing and scraping in front of Alfred Nixon, speaking cautiously. Who would have thought that today would turn out like this? Although she didn't know the reason, it was truly satisfying.Even this useless guy had some use after all.Just after Ken hung up the phone,Amanda walked out of the restroom, looking puzzled."Who were you talking to so mysteriously?""Your Uncle Alfred N
Upon receiving the news of Old Nixon's critical condition, Alfred Nixon rushed over immediately. He blamed Amanda for everything, convinced that she harbored resentment and had influenced Carl Charles to unilaterally breach the contract, causing a chain reaction that led to the current state of Nixon Corporation.However, before Alfred Nixon could land a slap on Amanda, his hand was intercepted in midair by Ken.Ken held Alfred Nixon's hand, his eyes filled with murderous intent.Alfred Nixon had never seen such a gaze, feeling a chill running down his spine as he quickly stepped back."What do you want, you coward?" Alfred Nixon swallowed hard, questioning."What do I want? You hit my wife. You're asking me what I want?" Ken took a step forward, his aura intensified, standing protectively in front of Amanda.Seeing Ken blocking his way, Amanda couldn't help but feel a sense of security.Surrounded by Nixon family members, Alfred Nixon regained confidence and pointed at Ken:"Old Nixo
...On an international flight.At an altitude of ten thousand meters."You old man, for heaven's sake, why are you bringing ashes on the plane? If you don't want to live, don't drag us into it."Curses echoed from the first-class cabin, pulling Ken's thoughts back to reality.Turning his head, he saw the overweight man in the adjacent seat hurling insults.With a Mediterranean hairstyle and a bulky physique, the man resembled a ball of flesh squeezed into the chair.The person being insulted was the elderly father of Ken's comrade.In his twilight years, with white hair, he was on this flight specifically to bring his comrade's ashes back to their hometown."You old piece of crap, wandering around with an urn, don't you want to live? Get lost!"Not only did the overweight man mock and insult, but he also shoved the comrade's father to the ground."Sorry, sorry."The comrade's father nodded apologetically, humbly apologizing while tightly cradling his son's ashes, afraid of any mishap
Prosperia's Marinopolis International Airport."Make way!""Get out of the way!"Dozens of thugs rushed into the corridor, moving with urgency as if facing a formidable enemy.Passengers who had just disembarked hurriedly made way. Most of them were unaware of what was happening, but the sudden appearance of so many thugs left many feeling bewildered.After the plane landed, the overweight man blocked the exit arrogantly, cursing loudly and displaying an extremely arrogant attitude."On my turf, you bastards better prepare to die. Once my brothers arrive, I'll make sure you two won't leave here alive!""Dare to lay a hand on me. Both you and the old man, don't even think about leaving here alive."The glamorous woman assisted the overweight man in blocking the door, hands on her hips, confidently ignoring the persuasions of the flight attendants. They refused to let anyone pass.All the thugs arrived, and the arrogance of the overweight man became even more overwhelming.A group of pe
