It is done," Jenny said to Lia, who was sitting opposite her. "Thank you so much, Jenny. Lia grabbed her best friend's hand and said, "Once I have gotten rid of James Miller, let's go out and have fun." "You know we are best friends, so there is no need to thank me. Come to think of it, Jenny was the one feeling greatful. I have to thank you for stopping dating Kent Zinolesky. You know, I should not have blamed you for that. "Now, I finally see him for who he is. If I found out too late, it could have been a disaster. "Hey, you are my best friend, of course, I don't want to see you upset. Lia answered with a smile. The truth was, the reason Lia stopped jenny from dating Kent in the first place was actually that she did not want the two families to join together. If the marriage between the Jefferson and zinoleskies families was successful, there would have been a significant impact on the Campbell family. Jenny broke up with Kent after James embarrassed him profoundly at the Ful
"What kind of big secrets? Can you tell me?" James raised his eyebrows slightly, expressing interest as he spoke."It is..." Lia took out a thin lady's cigarette from the cigarette case on the table in front of her, then lit it up and smoked it skillfully.The blue smoke soon wafted out of her crimson lips and filled the room. Inside, the haze she looked more and more seductive.The lavender scent on her body mixed with the smell of cigarettes, flowing through the entire VIP room.The smell was so powerful that James felt somewhat dazed."Henry Meyer is not the business genius people think he is. Leo Meyer sent him abroad to fix him up so that he would be able to take over the group." Lia exhaled more smoke as she spoke."It is a pity that Henry Meyer turned out to be a disappointment. Leo Meyer had to call him back because he caused a lot of trouble overseas. After that, he spent a huge sum of money to help him start this collection company.""So, Leo Meyer is fully involved because
"Ms. Campbell, if you are looking to start an internal war, don't use me as a sacrifice. James said with a faint smile.'internal war' lingered in Lia's mind,As did the word sacrifice.Her fingers which were holding a lady's cigarette trembled slightly, causing the white ash to fall onto her red nails.It seemed that she had underestimated James.She had not expected him to know about the war in the Campbell family.Jenny's face turned pale. She knew very well that the war between the Campbell family, and how Lia rose to power, were the greatest taboo in her friend's life.After all, the fact that Lia had sacrificed her three brothers for her stardom was not exactly honorable or presentable.It would be disastrous if Lia gets angry."James, what are you talking about?" Jenny shouted at him from the side, "Don't you see that you're still in HonorGrave? It is fine that you refused to take Ms. Campbell's generous offer, how dare you be so disrespectful?""I am just saying the truth. He
I have told you I don't want to be friends with you. James pursed his lips irritably. He then snapped, "Are you deaf?"James, you are crossing the line. Jenny had planned to keep the peace today.James' behavior had utterly appalled her.James might have made it rich and become Meyer's family's esteemed guest. However, he had also offended Lia. There was no way he would ever be allowed to strive in HonorGrave.James had even boldly threatened to snap Lia's neck earlier.He was simply digging his own grave at this point."Ms. Jefferson, watch your words. James shook his head in displeasure, he then uttered, "It sounds like you are challenging me to do something even worse."James proceeded to declare arrogantly, "I came here fully prepared. There's nothing for me to be scared of.""Oh, how valiant," Lia scoffed coldly. "James, you're such a reckless boor. if you had any brains, you have held me hostage and made your escape. You wouldn't have ended up in this state.She continued, "I th
Before Lia could even reply, a slight murmur www heard coming from the corner of the room."G-Got it... Jenny who had crumpled on the ground in fright answered with a trembling voice."Look at her." James moved his wrist up so that Lia could face him. He raised a brow and let out a chuckle. Ms. Jefferson is such a sensible girl.Apart from the fear that had gripped Lia's heart, anger surged within her.She was the ruthless head of the Campbell family. Yet, within a single day, she had been threatened by the same man twice.Just a moment earlier, James was ready to strangle her to death. Now, he was pointing a gun at her throat.This was an utter humiliation to Lia. Unfortunately, she had no choice but to discard her pride to save her life."Got it," Lia muttered through clenched teeth. At that moment, her dignity as the head of the Campbell family had been ripped into shreds. Her arrogance had vanished. James berated her as if she was an elementary school student. Lia lowered her eyes
James smiled and shook his head as he heard the number."5.2 million dollars?" Ava asked. She felt that no matter how rich Life Long Group was, they couldn't auction an item that was worth tens of millions of dollars. Even if it was Divine's auction house, the most acclaimed and renowned house, their most expensive collection would only be worth 13 million dollars."Nope, it's more than that!" replied James shaking his head once more.More than that!" Said Ava as her eyes opened in astonishment. The lights on the ceiling illuminated the eyes, making them seem even more striking and mesmerizing."Yes... I guess that there are around 5 to 8 auction lots that are worth tens of millions. As for those that cost more than 5.2 million dollars... There should be about ten of them, for items that are less than 5.2 million dollars, there should be countless of them, remarked James nonchalantly."Wow!" She nodded, amazement was still clear in her eyes. She added, "so if we calculate, everything
Angela hesitated for a bit when she looked at the incoming caller's number. "Why is she suddenly calling me?" She murmured to herself."Who is it?" Allen asked curiously as he walked over."Nobody," replied Angela as she hung up the call. She grabbed her bag and said, "I'm meeting a friend, so I'll be leaving first.As she walked to the door she suddenly turned back and reminded him, "By the way, keep my words in mind. Don't create trouble for us, understand?""Yes," replied Allen reluctantly.After Angela walked out of the Bailey, she got into her car and hit the redial button on her phone."Hi, Ms. Campbell, what's with the sudden call?" Asked Angela as she started the car engine.Ms. Bailey, I heard that you were at Lotus Antique street some time back. According to my surbordinate, something from my shop caught your eyes, said Lia as she stared at the Jade bangle in her hands.I apologize for your unpleasant experience that day. It was my subordinate's fault, I'm calling to apologi
"Why did he come back?" Asked Iyke. Well, I'm not surprised at all that he's back," Lia said matter of factly. You must have forgotten that Mr. Bruce's birthday party is around the corner. This brother of mine will never want to lose the opportunity to suck up to my father."Let's go and have a look, said Iyke.The power struggle between the siblings of the Campbell family was not a secret in HonorGrave.Lia's three elder brothers had lost during the power struggle, making Lia the head of the family.Lia's second and third eldest brothers were aware that they simply could not defeat their younger sister. One of them had left for another country, while the other had accepted his fate and worked at one of the subsidiaries that belonged to the Campbell family.Daniel, Lia's eldest brother was the only one who didn't want to concede defeat. He also had considerable wealth and power. As such, he had been using those to fight against Lia.Angela was soon back at the office after she left Mo
