"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
"Don't be too quick to judge. It's not certain yet who will win or lose," James said mildly. "Yeah, right," said Greg, rolling his eyes. "Don't talk big. I'm telling you, there's no need to compete. My man, Noah will win for sure." "Not necessarily," James retorted in a low voice. "Hey, you... Daniel Logan huffed, about to step forward to pick a quarrel but Noah immediately stopped him. "Fine, I'll make you concede and bow down to me wholeheartedly," with that, Noah took off his expensive jacket. "Watch and learn," a girl's voice chimed in softly at the side. "What a good for nothing arrogant fool! You'll suffer the consequences now that you have offended Noah." "That's right! Useless piece of shit with his trash talk," someone added. Ava was increasingly worried after hearing those comments. James took a pool cue and was about to step forward to play when Ava grabbed his arm to stop him. "What's the matter?" Asked James, knowing that she was worried. Ava was aware that he co
Everyone gathered at the french restaurant In the White Hotel in no time. Young service staff brought the menus once everyone was seated. Noah gave Greg a meaningful glance the moment James pick up a menu. Moments later. "Hey James, why don't you order for us?" Greg said with a fake smile," didn't Noah say earlier that we should order whatever we want with no expenses spared?" "Me?" James asked, putting down his glass of water. "Yes, you," said Noah, looking at everyone, "you see, you are the only one among us working in the food Industry. Of course, you are the expert and we trust you to place the order for us." "Hahaha..." The crowd burst into laughter, hearing Noah's words. Ava knew that Noah was deliberately making things difficult for James. So, she quickly speaks up to help James out of the predicament, "How about this? Why don't I order the food?" "Oh, Ava," Greg cut in again to say, "Are you worried that your husband won't understand the words?" "Of course, they don't
