Lady Vesper lay in the hospital bed for 3 days, her blood pressure rising, and her heart disease relapsing. Despite being taken to the hospital on time, the chaos she had to deal with prolonged her stay.That afternoon, Secretary Mia came to report to her as usual. Lady Vesper leaned weakly, wrinkles on her forehead looking terrifying on her pale, old face.“Lady, the company is fine. The First Young Master has handled the issues with...”“Tell the truth, don’t say something good just to calm me,” Lady Vesper cut off Secretary Mia’s fake report. She knew her children and grandchildren’s capabilities, if any of them were capable, why give a high position to someone like Edward?Furthermore, shareholders and company executives had lodged various complaints about the chaos in the past three days. Some scheduled programs even faced difficulties due to various reasons.Secretary Mia lowered her head and reported each problem one by one. “The company executives want the CEO position filled
Hearing Edmund's seemingly meandering words, Edward just nodded nonchalantly and uttered a simple hum."Go to sleep, tomorrow morning you can go home. I'll ask-""Don't you believe me? I found our family... the truth. Brother, you have to believe me. Someone sent it to me a few months ago."Edmund explained the foreign email he received a few months ago, it was the beginning of his suspicion.The email contained the Nielson family lineage. Initially, Edmund didn't pay much attention to it because there were many Nielson families. However, when he saw his and Edward's names on the list, along with their mother's name, he became suspicious.He then asked someone to find out the truth about the Nielson family that used to be in the city of Aeridonia. Unexpectedly, he uncovered a secret."That detective came to me this afternoon to give me the results of his investigation. You might not believe it, but... the old man from the Nielson family really looks like me, Edward."Edward sim
The Aeridonia business circle is abuzz with the news of the acquisition of the city’s largest financial and investment company. The acquirer hails from the neighboring city of Brokeward, a equally sizable company deeply involved in finance and investment since its inception, 3D Motion.The acquisition concluded swiftly and will officially commence its first investment. Despite not being the largest company in Helioport, 3D Motion is still referred to as the biggest in Brokeward. The fact that the company expanded its branches to Aeridonia and successfully underwent a relatively fast acquisition has garnered significant attention.Certainly, many small to medium-sized enterprises aspire to secure a branch and establish collaborations. Vibe Entertainment is one such company seeking to secure its first investment from 3D Motion.Thus, Lady Vesper declared to her grandchildren vying for top positions in the company, “Anyone who secures investment funds from 3D Motion will be appointed as
Edward went with Glory, who followed a few steps behind him. Once the elevator doors closed, Edward said to Glory, "Let him wait a little longer.""Alright, Boss," replied Glory, understanding. She then contacted one of the executive assistants who was lounging around to assign them the task of bringing Bryan to the CEO's office.Upon arriving in his office, Edward sat down and examined several investment proposal files from various companies. However, he wasn't sure if the Vesper family would humbly accept this company's investment after learning the truth.Half an hour later, someone knocked on his office door. He calmly said, "Come in."An executive assistant entered, followed by a familiar figure.The assistant said, "Boss, I've brought Mr. Ryan Vesper for negotiations regarding the investment in Vibe Entertainment."As usual, Edward put on a polite smile and welcomed them in.Unlike Edward's usual demeanor, Bryan's smile froze when he saw the familiar figure. Without the usual co
Unlike his usual behavior in the past, this time Edward didn’t rush to contact Yris upon discovering that he had missed her call. Instead, he casually checked the call history, verifying if Yris had sent any messages before deciding to call her back.Only after confirming this did he dial Yris’s number again. Shortly after making the call, it was answered and connected. The familiar voice in Edward’s ear momentarily stirred unusual emotions.Fortunately, he remained composed, not allowing himself to be engulfed in his feelings for her. “Why did you call me?” Edward asked, getting straight to the point.Upon hearing this, Yris was displeased with Edward’s seemingly annoying attitude, unlike the past when he always sounded gentle and attentive. Edward’s tone this time was slightly cold and distant, although not entirely devoid of concern.After a brief cold snort, Yris replied, “I heard from Bryan that you’ve returned to Aeridonia.”Edward responded with a mumble, “Um.”“Why didn’t you
Edward walked calmly along the street, carrying his plastic bag. Unlike the woman ahead, taking large and quick strides, appearing panicked.As the woman turned at the corner and disappeared from his sight, Edward also turned at the same bend and didn’t see anyone there. He thought she might have already reached her home, so Edward slightly quickened his pace. After all, he wasn’t accustomed to walking slowly and wasting time.Just a few steps away from his residence, someone jumped in front of him and hit his face with a bag. The distinctive loud scream of a woman echoed.“Perverted scoundrel! What do you want by stalking me, huh?! Shameless, immoral!”In his lifetime, this was the first time Edward had been called a perverted scoundrel. Veins bulged on his forehead in anger, he grabbed the woman’s wrist and restrained her. His jaw tightened, and his eyes squinted slightly.“Stop!” he growled, suppressing his anger.“What? Why should I stop? I’ll keep screaming and let people know th
A banner hangs at the entrance of the Fizz Sparkle Soda Water Factory, bearing the words "Welcome."Three individuals stand beneath the afternoon sun. One person in front of the station appears to be an ordinary security guard, while the other two are dressed in work attire.As a row of cars emerges at the end of the village road, the man at the forefront awakens, shouting to those behind him, "Applause, applause!"The black car stops, surrounded by three others. The central car's door swings open upward, and the driver hurriedly opens the rear door. Glory opens her own door and promptly stands next to Edward."This is the Fizz Sparkle Soda Water Factory. In its heyday, Fizz Sparkle sales branches flourished everywhere, and now, this rental factory is all that remains.""Yes." The welcoming man nods despondently, observing potential investors. Seeing Edward's appearance and his attire's cost, his demeanor becomes even more subdued."We built the factory in the old kingdom era. It can
The good factory was messily painted by them, making it look like a murder scene in horror movies."This is a private factory, what are you doing?! I will call the police!"Seeing the well-dressed and neatly presented Edward, tall and slender compared to the bulky thugs, they exchanged glances and burst into mocking laughter. Clearly, they underestimated him.One of them even jeered condescendingly, "Hey, old man also likes this model."After that remark, the thugs burst into laughter again, even louder and more satisfied than before. They exchanged remarks."You shouldn't mess with a skinny guy who looks weak, he's not a woman! Let's make some moves.""A man without muscles, what's the difference from a woman?""My arms are even thicker than your head," shouted one of them to Edward."It's a lot of nonsense." After saying that, Edward walked away angrily, so furious that he did not want to hold back. He quickly grabbed a steel pipe lying on the ground with one hand.Within a minute,
