2024-10-29 19:42:56"James, are you bent on making me die today?" Fumed Amelia, who was still defending Oliver. "You don't have the means and still dare to falsely accuse Oliver."
"She's right James, you're out of line today, reproached the other guests. They all reprimanded him.
Ava glared angrily at James too after seeing how angry her mother was.
"James, apologize to Amelia now," urged Joseph. If James continued insisting like this, things could turn ugly.
James understood he was a loser in their eyes.
No matter how he tried to explain, nobody would believe him.
He was also too lazy to explain.
"Mom, I'm sorry," said James very reluctantly. But Amelia refused to accept his apology.
"Follow me out," said an angry-looking Ava.
She exploded the moment they stepped out of the VIP room.
"James, you've utterly embarrassed me today," fumed Ava. It's been a long time since mom was happy and you've ruined it.
James felt very helpless when he saw how angry his wife was. He pursed his lips.
They was no point in saying anything. He was sure his wife also believed that his family was not wealthy. James also did not wish to see his wife continue being angry.
"I was wrong."
"You..." Ava hated it the most when James behaved like this. She felt as if she had punched a piece of cotton. He did not feel any pain but she was hopping mad instead.
While James and Ava were talking, Oliver walked over with his nose in the air.
"Ava, James, why are you two standing in here?" Said Oliver with a smirk, gloating over his win. Ava looked down without saying a word. She knew what Oliver was trying to do. If he hadn't purposely picked on the gifts, things would not have turned out so awkward.
She and James would not have been ashamed.
"We're having our private conversation. It's none of your business," said James, no longer able to control his anger.
"James, it was my bad earlier," said Oliver. In front of Ava, he pretended to be a gentleman while trying to provoke James.
"You..." Now James was more pissed. He wished he could call Leo Meyer to come and testify that he was the one who brought the gift.
"Enough, James," said Ava. She knew that Oliver did not have good intentions. James was also rather short-tempered. If they carried on like this, the birthday dinner would end on a sour note.
So Ava suppressed the anger in her heart and said calmly to Oliver, "You go ahead first."
No matter how unsatisfied she was with James, Ava wanted to show him respect in front of the others. Because they were husband and wife.
"Alright," said Oliver, feeling a little disappointed. He looked jealously at James and then bitterly, walked back into the room.
Oliver simply could not understand what was so good about James. He was such a loser. Why did Ava defend him?
When it was only the two of them in the corridor, Ava swallowed and then said coldly, "Go in with me and quietly finish your meal."
"No matter what others say, I don't want you to talk back," said Ava. "Remember, talk less, eat more."
"Ava, if that's the case, then I think I should leave early," said James. He had enough of all the eye-rolling and taunting. He also could not be bothered to deal with those people inside.
"No way," said Ava resolutely. She gritted her teeth and said, "You are my husband and the son-in-law of my family. You must stay till the end of the dinner. Even if you must bite your tongue, you must stay till the end."
Ava was very certain that her parents were already extremely dissatisfied with James. If he were to leave now, they would be unhappy. James' heart suddenly felt a little warm as he watched his wife back.
Although Ava was stern with him, she was still trying to protect him.
Since his wife was trying to protect him, James decided to finish this act for her.
The Birthday celebration continued. After cutting the cake, everyone was in high spirits. Amelia brought up how Oliver had helped Ava settle the legal case against the Cartier.
Amelia wished she could treat Oliver like her own son. She said warmly, "How about this, Oliver? While everyone is still here, give a call to Mr. Fuller. I want to thank him for helping us."
"No problem," said Oliver. He would not miss a chance of being in the limelight.
Meanwhile, James kept his head down and concentrated on eating. But he was despising Oliver with all his heart.
James had been the one who had resolved the case, but Oliver was shamelessly claiming all the credit.
The other party answered the phone very quickly. Oliver deliberately placed it on speakerphone.
"Mr. Fuller, I'm very greatful to you," said Amelia. In front of a stranger, she seemed to have transformed into someone else. She was full of flattery for him. "I know that you agreed to help Ava's case because of Oliver."
"That's right, that's right," said Joseph stiffly. "Mr. Fuller, Oliver said you are a busy man. When will you be available? We would like to visit you."
"Don't worry about it," said Mr. Fuller politely.
"Besides..."

"I didn't step in to help your legal case because of Oliver Cooper. I was asked by Mr. Meyer," said Mr. Fuller. The smile on Oliver's face froze immediately when he heard those words. The mood in the room also turned awkward and stifling. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up," said Mr. Fuller. Since nobody responded, he ended the call. "Mr. Fuller?" Repeated Joseph. He asked with a frown, "Who's he?" James continued to keep his head down and ate his dinner. His heart was calm like still water. Leo must have arranged this. Just then, the door of the VIP room was pushed open. Carlie horn entered the room with a line of waitresses. They were carrying trays of delicious food and top-quality champagne and red wine. "Are you Mrs. Bailey?" Asked Carlie with a huge smile. She conducted herself in a prim and proper manner. "Yes, I am," said Amelia, looking puzzled. She had no idea what was going on. Carlie gave a slight nod and all the gifts were placed on the table. "Mrs. Bailey,

Although Ava was angry, there was nothing she could do about it. Those were her grandfather's orders so she could not change them. Besides that, she also has to figure out how to explain the situation to her parents. Ava went over to her parent's house. Immediately after arriving, she say on the sofa. She spoke haltingly, "Mom, I got something to tell you. You know... Grandpa has handed the project with Cartier over to Allen. I..." Before Ava could finish, she exploded in anger. "What did you say?" Amelia jumped to her feet in anger. "You clinched that deal! How could that bitch Allen take it?" "No, I have to talk to them about this." "What do you think you're doing?" Asked Joseph. He pulled his wife back frantically, "Dad has already decided. Are you going to argue with him?" "I..." Amelia was stumped after she heard what her husband said. Amelia felt so helpless. "Then... Then is our family doomed to be bullied?" She covered her face with her hands and burst out crying. "Yo

"Mrs. Miller, Mr. Shawn Bailey would like me to inform you to attend the board of directors meeting," said Jane Garcia. The secretary spoke very politely. "Me?" Said Ava. She frowned subconsciously. She was a mere project manager of a branch of the Bailey Group subsidiary company. Her grandfather did not have high expectations of her. Also, she was not part of the main family. Those who were not part of the main family were never called to attend the board of directors meeting. When was she suddenly asked to attend the board of directors meeting? "Yes, Mr. Miller, please hurry over," said Jane urgently. "Alright. I'll be there as soon as possible," replied Ava. She was still puzzled. James saw the perplexed look on his wife's face and asked, "what's wrong?" He pretended not to know anything. "Oh, the assistant from the sales department gave me a call. She told me to attend the board of directors meeting," replied Ava. Then she said worriedly, Do you think something bad happened

Vice president Bailey," Jackson said coldly as he impatiently glanced at his watch. "You have three minutes." Turner could tell that if Jackson was displeased with the results of this matter, the board meeting later would be greatly impacted. It is possible that the board meeting might even be canceled due to this. When that happens, Turner would not be able to answer to Shawn Bailey. It was possible that the whole Bailey Group might even collapse and cease to exist. Clenching his teeth, Turner turned to glare at Allen. "You bastard! How dare you act all arrogant and behave presumptuously in front of Mr. Jackson? Due to your actions, the Bailey Group had been brought to shame!" "I..." Allen stuttered as he looked at unhappily. He felt that he had done nothing wrong. However, Allen had no choice but to bow his head submissively as he said, "Yes, I will clean this up immediately. Just as Allen reached out to take the mop from the cleaner, Jackson's voice called out again. "I think

"This is not something you need to concern yourself with," James said nonchalantly and added. "I have my plans." "Mrs. Miller, I understand," Jackson replied and fell silent, not daring to talk any further. Although James' identity had been kept a secret, he remained a decisive, meticulous, and calm person. His wits and cleverness had been well demonstrated in the events which happened at the Bailey Group today. Jackson was a smart person and knew that he should follow his rules strictly. He also understood that he should focus his attention on doing what James had asked him to do, and not make any wild guesses regarding James' intentions. "Oh, right." James paused for a second before continuing. "Tomorrow Shawn Bailey would most likely ask you to meet him in person. When that happens, do not show any eagerness in agreeing to any of his terms." "I understand." Jackson nodded his head earnestly. "Alright. There might be some hiccups tomorrow. You may contact me if anything signif

"Sky, I also hold shares of the Bailey Group," Ava said modestly. "Besides I'm the overall person in charge of this project. If the project is successful, I will take credit for my work. However, if the project goes south, I will naturally bear all the consequences." Ava replied. "Oh really..." Angela snorted coldly after hearing Ava's words. "Don't think you can act smart or arrogant just because you are the overall person in charge of this project. Ava, you better think again. Know where you stand and the extent of your capabilities." Angela mocked. "Some people don't just know that they are making a fool out of themselves" Sky muttered. "Let me give you a piece of advice. It would be best for you to get lost, and bring along your loser husband. The farther, the better. That way you will not disgrace the Bailey family!" Sky barked. "It's so lively in here. "A male voice resonated around the room as the door behind them suddenly opened. Jackson briskly walked into the room. "Mr. S

"Grandpa, I think... Ava paused for a moment before continuing, "I think there is a more powerful entity that watches over the Cartier, or else Jackson Brown would not behave that way." Hearing that, a tense look flashed across Shawn's eyes. But it was soon replaced by relief. "Ava, I know. You've always been the smartest among my grandchildren." Shawn did expect that Ava would offer such an accurate insight. "I'm sorry for what you had to go through all these years." "No, I'm fine, Grandpa." Ava felt a warmness radiating from within her chest when she heard what Shawn said. "Your speculation is right." Shawn heaved a long sigh and went on, "There's a powerful entity behind Cartier, and it's the mighty Miller's organization." Miller's organization? Ava was shocked by his response Miller's organization had always dominated the business world in Miller's organization and possibly even the entire nation. Shawn said, "I happened to learn that Leo Meyer, the richest man in Sunshin

For the past couple of years, Ava had been unwilling to let James into her social circle. She was probably ashamed of him. But James had met her best friend, Emma Thompson before. Emma was mean and vicious. She always pulled a long face in front of him. It's just an ordinary gathering with my friends," Ava said, keeping her head down. "Besides, Emma heard that I had been promoted to manager of the branch office and wanted to celebrate the promotion." "I see... Why did you ask me to come along then?" James asked curiously. "This time, everyone else is attending with a boyfriend or husband," Ava said in embarrassment. "So... I thought that if you come along, I won't be alone." Naturally, James could read between the lines as he listened to what Ava was saying. "Alright, let's go." James got into the driver's seat, started the car, and drove to Givenchy Clubhouse. It was the most renowned club in the city. Its customers were all members of high society. The building was magnific

CHAPTER 248
Although Jeffery heard that the Peter’s organization had collapsed, he was still very stubborn. He said, "James, I don't care if you are a useless piece of trash or Mr. Miller. When my backing comes, you'll definitely die." He just finished saying it. Then a group of men entered through the entrance of the hotel. When a male assistant who was in front of the group stopped walking, a video call was made to James’s cell phone. As james looked at the number, he raised his eyebrows and had a disdainful expression on his face."Davis..." James called and looked at the large television screen above him and nodded. "Yes, Mr. Miller." Davis understood immediately.Immediately, a familiar figure appeared on the television screen. The man was wearing an exquisitely designed and well-cut suit. His hair was neatly combed and he was wearing a pair of spectacles with refined gold frames. His eyes were like that of an eagle's; sharp and threatening. He exuded an irresistible and powerful aura from h

"Sure, I will go and carry it out," Tony said politely and hurriedly. "Withdraw all of Jeffery’s money from the Bank." Gracious lit a cigarette and took a deep puff. She blew out a long trail of smoke and continued, "And retrieve his collection of paintings as well.""Ms. Gracious, what are your plans?" Tony heard Gracious instructions and thought that she was planning to run away with all of Jeffery’s valuables and assets and not bothered about whether he was dead or alive."Tony, is this how you think of me?" Gracious walked over, raised her hand and gave him a hard slap. She continued, "Although I spend money and fool around with that gigolo that does not mean I am an ungrateful woman."Jeffery paid for my freedom from a nightelub and married me. I will never forget his kindness."Furthermore, even if I wanted to take everything, do you think that the other three women and their kids would allow that to happen? I'm still aware of my status."

"Sure, Mr. Miller," on the other side of the line, Leo answered respectfully. At this instant, Isaac who looked almost unrecognizable due to the beatings, was almost certain that James was not a fake. He was actually from the Miller family. However, he did not understand why James had to reduce himself to a useless piece of trash although he had such a powerful and wealthy background."James, you are really good at faking," Jeffery spoke arrogantly. When he heard his godfather's words, Isaac frowned and thought,"Godfather, godfather, do you know who you have offended?""We are finished, we are finished. This time, godfather is really finished. Even our family would... would also be destroyed."___At Sunshine___"Ms. Gracious... Ms. Gracious... Something has happened!

Upon hearing that, Jeffery was completely stunned."James, what did you say?"Isaac had lost all his hopes. He was howling like a mad dog and said, "What makes you think that my godfather will listen to you?He is Jeffery Dick!""No matter... No matter where he is, be it in Sunshine or other places, no one dares to mess with him "Really, Mr. Dick? If what you say is true, why is your godfather kneeling here?"Davis gloated at him. "That is because...Godfather, what are you doing? Please get up! Why do you need to kneel before this piece of useless trash?You..." Isaac did not know how to reply Davis. He started wailing and shouting at Jeffery.Before Isaac finished his sentence, James pulled the trigger suddenly. The bullet brushed past his ear and hit a statue in the center of the lobby of the hotel. The bullet that came out of the gun hit the statue directly on its head.A loud bang was heard when the statue's head broke into half.Then the statue fell on the ground and broke into

Jeffery's body cringed as he felt the pain after James kicked him. However, very quickly, two members in the black camo suits came between two of them."James..." Jeffery tried to bear the pain in his body and covered his face. He wanted to save face and give himself a last trace of pride. He scoffed, "Don't think I am scared because of what you had planned and arranged!""Let me tell you! I... I am not afraid. I started making a living when I was 12 years old. I had to fight my way through, and I have seen so many bloody fights, confrontations and upheavals. I got through them all. Do you think I will be defeated today?""If you let me off today, we will talk it out. I will also forget that this matter had ever happened." Although Jeffery did not know who James really was, he already had a taste of what he was capable of. Now, he was trapped and unable to do anything. He had to do some sweet talk and get out of this humiliation.If not, he would not be able to survive in Sunshine or

"An armed car?"Jeffery's eyes were wide open."Mr. Dick, be careful!" As a piece of broken glass was about to pierce into Jeffery's neck, one of his men jumped in front of him to protect him.Then the armored car charged in. It was well equipped, and the members of the team dressed in black cami suits had live ammunition.Jeffery was in a state of shock. His men could not move at all when they saw the members of the team in black camo suits.Jeffery had been in many confrontations and fights all his life. However, he had never seen such a powerful and imposing battle array.Before he could come back to his senses, he felt whirlwind coming his way."Is that a... plane?" One of his men pointed to a big piece of open space. They saw a few planes that had landed there. "Not just planes, they are fighter planes... No, no, no, they should be combat aircraft." One of the men corrected him.After hearing "combat aircraft," the lobby was filled with sounds of things hitting the ground.Jeffer

"What are you talking about?" Jeffery gave this man one tight slap. "Of course, we have to save Isaac, but we need to deal with James and Davis.""Yes, Mr. Dick," All his men lowered their heads and roared in unison. As the sky got darker,Jeffery’s men finally found out where James was. "James was at his former residence. It is one of the Millers properties. The latest news is that Davis and James are now in the Hotel in the southern district.""Miller’s organization?" Jeffery squinted his eyes and snorted, "Leo has really done a lot. Just because James had saved his son, he actually allowed them to hide in one of his houses."Jeffery had investigated earlier on that James was the Bailey’s family's useless son-in-law. Then he had the backing and support of Leo to become the man with power and status today.After knowing all these, he despised James even more."What are we waiting for?Let's go." Jeffery drank the red wine from the glass and said, "Today I want James to beg like a dog
