A check for 2,000,000 USD lay in the center of the table.Delilah and Daran, who initially looked confused, were wide-eyed with surprise as they bent down to see the paper more clearly."I have counted all the money I used, including the food you gave me, without missing anything. Even though it doesn't make me happy, I feel somewhat grateful that you accepted my presence at that time, so consider the money to repay my gratitude," Ethan explained.Delilah's hands became trembling as she grabbed the paper and lifted it carefully. "Two million. It's indeed two million dollars. I didn't see it wrong.""The total of all the expenses you gave me was very little, not even half of that money. You're not going to pretend you forgot, right?" Ethan replied sarcastically."How could I forget it when I gave it to you myself?" Delilah muttered with her eyes, not leaving the paper in her hand.But a moment later, she fell silent with a smile that slowly disappeared.She looked at Ethan slowly and b
However, instead of heading to Zenith Corp, Ethan made a U-turn towards Pasaraya.On his way to his room, Hazel called with concern. "Sir, do you really not need a bodyguard?""No, I don't. I'm on other business and probably won't be back there. You can take care of it, right? If there's something really important and you can't take care of it anymore, you can call me," Ethan replied without breaking his stride."I understand. However, may I know your current whereabouts?""I'm fine. You don't have to worry," Ethan said with a faint smile. "If there's nothing more to talk about, I'll close it.""Yes, sir, good afternoon. Please take care of yourself."Ethan only replied with a brief nod before disconnecting the call. While putting his cell phone in his coat pocket, he turned his gaze around and found the Velvet Vault bustling with shoppers.His expression suddenly turned sour as Mrs. Bernita's annoyed face suddenly came to mind.If that woman saw the current situation in the Velvet Va
The first photo posted on Velvet Vault's social media immediately caught the attention of netizens. Thousands of comments filled the page, showing their disbelief and admiration for Mireille's looks.A few minutes later, another photo was posted on Pasaraya's webpage, which again and again sent the public into a frenzy.Soon, more videos and photos followed, creating an uproar in cyberspace.During Pasaraya's establishment, they have never used models or artists for promotion. Usually, they just uploaded product photos, and that alone attracted a lot of customers.But now, Mireille's presence made everyone overcome with complex emotions. Apart from being the first and promoting the products of the most famous store in Pasaraya, Mireille's figure is indeed very eye-catching because of her very charming appearance at the age of 40. With her presence, it is unimaginable how much profit Pasaraya will reap.Just a few hours after the release of the photo, dozens of people flocked to Velvet
"What is this?" The Great Mistress Celeste, relaxing in her reading room while playing with her cell phone, instantly straightened up with wide-eyed surprise.She zoomed in on the photo she had just received and couldn't contain her shock. "Bernita? Why is she there? And why is the store so crowded? What's really going on?""Isla, come here!" she shouted and called out to the maid assigned to be with her.But the middle-aged woman did not come, making Great Mistress Celeste turn her head towards the door angrily. "Isla! Didn't you hear me? If you don't come on the count of three, I'll throw you into the village! Isla!""Argh! Where is she exactly?" Then, Great Mistress Celeste stood up and walked hurriedly out of the reading room. "Just watch after I find you, I'll beat your legs to a pulp!"Just as she was about to turn towards the living room, Isla's figure suddenly appeared with a panicked face, making Great Mistress Celeste startled and almost toppled over."Damn it! Are you going
"What?" Mrs. Bernita stared at Joshua in disbelief, then she pushed him roughly. "Hey, who do you think you are? Does a lowly manager like you deserve to speak to me in that tone? Look at me and correct your speech before I throw you out!""Madam, today our store is very busy. But since you were looking for me, I left all the work for a while. I'm sorry if I've displeased you," Joshua said calmly and politely.The people around who had been talking about Mrs. Bernita instantly raised their voices, saying she was being arbitrary and bullying others who clearly had no fault."Are you going to continue like that, barking like dogs? This is my problem with the manager, and none of you understand this, so stop blabbing!" After scolding the people, Mrs. Bernita looked back at Joshua. "Explain to me about what happened!""What do you mean, Madam?""Don't act stupid in front of me! Explain everything, or I'll fire you!" shouted Mrs. Bernita.Joshua instantly smiled faintly. "Madam, you seem t
"What?" Mr. Celeste, Mrs. Bernita, and Ariana were all shocked beyond belief upon hearing this.They looked at each other in confusion before Mrs. Bernita shouted angrily at Joshua. "What are you saying, damn it? Since when is my father no longer the Pasaraya Director? I'm his daughter, and even if he no longer holds this place, it should be given to me. You dare to talk nonsense like this. Have you thought about the consequences?""In this lifetime, I have never said anything meaningless. Madam, to me, facts are everything, so there's no way I would just speak like this, especially in front of you," said Joshua, who was still calm.In front of the three powerful people, he may have looked like a lamb ready to be slaughtered, but he was actually a wolf with very sharp fangs."You!" Mrs. Bernita was left speechless as her anger reached its peak.At the shop opposite, which sold branded perfumes, Delilah and Daran were busy wandering around with their hands full of shopping bags.They k
Joshua did not respond, sending the atmosphere into an eerie silence.An enraged Mr Celeste raised his right hand, signalling his bodyguards to surround the Velvet Vault and forbid everyone from capturing this in photos or videos.Delilah and Daran continued to try to rebel while shouting apologies to Mrs Bernita, which were completely ignored.The visitors criticising Mrs. Bernita fell silent in the face of this situation. And Joshua's silence they took as fear for having lied."So you can't call him here? Manager Joshua, I have long questioned your origins. Now seems like the perfect time to show the world that you're a fraud trying to rob other people's businesses!" exclaimed Mrs. Bernita, pointing Joshua right in the face.The young man who didn't like being pointed at instantly turned sour, and he stepped back two steps.Even so, his mouth did not open to say a word.Whispers that cornered Joshua began to be heard. This made Ariana secretly smile happily as the bad situation had
It didn't take long for the public to be shocked by the news of Ethan, the CEO of Pasaraya Grant.The man who was once known as the son-in-law of Celeste's family, the poor loser who married into a rich family using many tricks, as well as the man who became a burden on his wife's family, now in a short period of time suddenly turned into the CEO of two very famous places.No one would have expected this. Even some people who disliked Ethan from the start continued to try to deny this fact. They believe that this is just a mistake and a game of journalists who want to create a stir.But they forget that something like this wouldn't exist if the people concerned didn't speak out. In the released article, it is clear that Ethan and Great Master Grant stand side by side in confirming the current ownership of Pasaraya.Not yet done with the shock, Velvet Vault suddenly released a social media post stating that Mireille was the Brand Ambassador.These two blows, in quick succession, were c
