Sadly, the call went through but no one answered it no matter how she tried."Did it get through?" Said Turner angrily before exhaling deeply. "Angela, you were always a careful girl. How could you make such a stupid mistake? You should have no better than to get blackmailed.""Do you know what kind of person Landon is? The guy only cares about money. If you wanted to use him, you should have been more careful. How could you let him get a handle on you and use it against you? Now the Black family, the Bailey family, and even your grandparents are in deep trouble.""Dad, our family did Landon a favor, so he owes us a favor and would never..." Even though things had come to this, Angela could not believe it."Angela, the evidence is already out there, so do not even think you can get away with it. Landon was clearly behind it. He secretly recorded your conversation and sold it to James," sneered Allen angrily in contempt."I can't believe it. Even though you were the one who caused trou
Amelia turned to look at Ava and James sitting on the couch and asked, "Ava, do you know why they are here?"Mom..." Ava glanced at James before telling her parents the whole truth about the incident. "Do you remember the time I was trapped at Palm Club?"Amelia and Joseph looked at each other and said quizzically, "Was Allen not the one behind it?""Nope," Ava said solemnly. "The truth is, Angela was the mastermind. Now that James has his hands on some damming audio evidence, they are visiting us to apologize, hoping we'll let things slide.""What?" Amelia was promptly shocked before she said angrily, "Angela, is such a bitch. I do not expect her to be so vicious by nature.""Mom, Angela is doing it to ensure I will never become the manager of the branch office." Fear lingered in Ava's heart just thinking about what she had experienced."Turner and his family are simply assholes," Amelia scolded them angrily. "For the sake of driving us out of the company, they were capable of doing
Turner was completely powerless and looked dejected. "I am such a wuss." Turner raised his hand and gave himself a slap for being afraid of his wife. He has always had a good life and the people in Bailey Group always gave in to him, so he had never acted so cowardly before. Even if his wife did not come, what had to be done needed to be done. DING DONG! The doorbell chimed. Amelia looked at Joseph before quickly gesturing for him to open the door. "Joseph, I heard Ava got discharged from the hospital, so Angela and I decided to come over and visit," said Turner as he smiled. "Hello, Uncle Joseph," greeted Angela excitedly. The two of them entered through the door holding exquisite gift boxes. When they saw Amelia, Angela greeted her politely, "Hi, Aunt Amelia." "Aunt Amelia, I got you some bird's nest and tonic while I was abroad." Angela flattered Amelia the moment she sat down. Amelia glanced at the table full of gifts and smiled greedily in joy. "Hi, Angela. Thank you f
"Ava, does it mean you have no intention of letting Angela off?" Susan spoke genially in the hope of making Ava change her mind."When you were kids, you and Angela were very close. A long time ago when you started learning how to swim, you would have probably drowned if Angela did not save you, remember?""Aunt Susan, even though this happened many years ago when they were kids, you still remember it so clearly. You are undoubtedly a very sentimental woman." James straighten his back as he spoke with a serious look on his face, "I cannot help wondering then. If your daughter was as close to Ava as you mentioned and cared about Ava, why did she keep stealing credit from my wife all these years?""If Angela cared about Ava in the slightest, she would not have let Ava at Palm Club and put her in danger."Amelia and Joseph instantly went quiet on hearing this.After all, James made complete sense here. Their daughter was undoubtedly guilty of doing it."James, did you not hear what I sai
"This is unbelievable. You're such a wuss." Amelia's raised her head and glared at her husband in contempt. "Well, they asked for it, didn't they? They should never have done that, so this is just a tit-for-tat. Moreover, James was the one who planned it all. If anything they should go after him instead.""In reality, I think James is good. He was in the control the entire time, so you really should stop looking down on him," said Joseph softly."Get this straight, do not be fooled by that boy." Amelia put away the white jade bracelet and said sinisterly, "I know exactly what James is trying to do. Does he think anything he does can escape my eyes?"He is simply worried we will kick him out of the family now that Ava has accomplished something.""What do you mean? Do you still intend on telling Ava to divorce the boy?" Joseph was reading today's newspaper, but he put them down and frowned as he asked his wife quizzically."That gives without saying of course." Amelia looked at the key
James and Davis got together a few days later. After a tense discussion, they swiftly hammered her the details of their partnership. Whizystems invested 600 million dollars while Davis invested 200 million dollars to form a joint venture company called "Life Long Collectible." In addition to the 600 million dollars invested by the companies, the company also attracted liquid funds from other sources. And the true purpose of the minor wave of capital inflow depended on connections and market control. Other than promoting Western art and collectibles, James also advised Davis to use Life Long Collectible to acquire foreign private museums and art galleries as well as to buy up small mid-sized auction houses to strive and forge their investment services in the auction world. The newly established CP Auction House relied on the strength of its formidable capital to swiftly sweep across the European and Americana markets. Even the local antique dealers extended olive branches one by o
"Amanda and Elliot are here," Announced Bryan with so much pride.Bryan ushered the couple into the room and gestured towards the man who was decked in a luxury suit. "Let me introduce you to my soon-to-be son-in-law, Elliot Forcados. He graduated from Havard and is the CEO of a multinational corporation that deals with collectibles," Bryan introduced."Elliot says that they will hold two weddings; here and another one overseas, and both would have to be grand. He is not concerned about the money, as long as the weddings are as grand as possible; Lisa boasted."I'll be honest with you, Amelia. Ever since I heard that I'm going to have such an outstanding soon-to-be-in-law, I have been over the moon," Lisa added.Amelia and Joseph did not look very pleased. Just a moment ago, the two of them were still bragging about how well their daughter was doing at the Bailey Group. But now, she was outshined by the Bradford's soon-to-be son-in-law.The worst part was that having a son-in-law like
Amelia asked in surprise, "Why did you go there?""To buy a house," James replied."Buy a house?" Bryan couldn't help bursting into laughter. "James, is that a joke?""Absolutely not," answered James honestly. "We were there to buy a house, literally.""James, listen to me," said Bryan as he put down his chopsticks, his face full of ridicule. it's nice for young men like you to have dreams, but that's different from daydreaming. You've to base it on your practical situation."Before Bryan came home, he never knew that domestic housing prices had risen so harshly.Bryan knew clearly that Elliot, who had just returned from abroad, couldn't have afforded the house if not for his parent's support.Buying the house has been a struggle for a Harvard graduate like Bryan, more to say the loser, James."You shut up," Amelia glared at James and said. "We know your incompetence more than anyone does, so stop bragging. You're only humiliating all of us."After she finished speaking, she also gave
