“You truly have broadened my horizons!” Nicolas wiped the blood from his mouth and spoke up. He didn’t seem the least bit angry.Nicolas was someone who valued talent. Joseph had truly earned his respect.“As promised, the death of that person. Consider it settled!” Nicolas waved his hand, signaling to let the matter go. He cherished his younger brother, but as a long-time military man, Nicolas believed in deeds over words. He knew there were reasons behind his brother’s death. The Sa gang leader never refrained from wicked deeds. It was just unfortunate that his brother encountered someone as courageous as Joseph.“Thank you for keeping your word. I also hope you’ll forgive Charlotte; she has nothing to do with this!”“Of course, Nicolas, I’m not unreasonable.”“In the future, if there’s anything, I hope for your cooperation!” Nicolas continued.Anthony, standing nearby, turned red with rage, as if possessed, and started babbling incessantly.“General, please reconsider. General, ple
“Why would you say that? Is Anderson trying to hide something?” Nicolas looked at Joseph with suspicion.Initially, Joseph wanted to inform Nicolas about the fake drug shipment of the Anderson company, but he reconsidered. Without evidence, he couldn’t involve Nicolas. Moreover, based on Nicolas’s relationship with the Sa gang, Joseph was confident that the general would soon know if there was anything going on.“Indeed, the Anderson company is keeping something from everyone. But I don’t have evidence, and I believe that based on your connections, you’ll soon find out what it is.”“There’s only one thing I hope you’ll consider carefully. Investing in the Anderson company this time is really risky. Money doesn’t grow on trees, so please think carefully!” Joseph continued.After hesitating for a while, General Nicolas finally nodded slightly at Joseph’s suggestion. Indeed, the prospect the Anderson company presented seemed very enticing, and without Joseph’s warning, he would have inve
Joseph stepped out of the bathroom. He returned to the living room, holding the half-finished cup of tea.“Coco...” Joseph wanted to say something but stopped.Joseph’s hesitant demeanor surprised Coco slightly. It was the first time she had seen him so indecisive.“What is it? Just say it!”Joseph pondered for a moment, then ultimately decided to tell Coco about his plan.“I’m planning to move somewhere else to live.”“What? What are you saying?” Coco exclaimed, abruptly standing up. Joseph’s words felt like a bucket of cold water splashed in her face.“Why would you even think of that? Don’t you live here just fine? Aren’t your friends and important people here?” Coco hastily continued.Joseph remained silent. Only those involved truly understood everything; appearances could be deceiving. The black car tailing him today could be a warning. When the camouflage layer disappeared, he would face many dangers.There was one thing Coco said that Joseph found to be true: his friends and i
“Sorry, but I cannot accept your proposal.” Joseph flatly refused.“Don’t you need to think more? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity! Remember that the Watts family is the richest and most powerful family in this area!”“Do not need! I have no intention of changing my decision!”Joseph’s bluntness surprised Demetrius. He thought that becoming the son-in-law of the Watts family was the wish of every young man in this city. This is a step into the clouds!“I have no interest in the money and power of the Watts family. The only reason I help you is because you have something I want. That’s all.”“Of course, now I see Miss Amile and Coco as my two friends. But it just stops there!” Joseph continuedAs soon as Joseph’s words ended, Coco’s face immediately changed. But after that, she quickly regained her spirit. Coco moved closer to her grandfather.“Grandpa, marriage is a big life event that we cannot force on others. If Joseph doesn’t want to, we shouldn’t!”“Huh! You guys are real
Anthony clutched the steering wheel tightly, his face now looked like a hungry tiger. Emaciated, fierce and cruel.“If it weren’t for you intervening, how would I and my project end up like this! If it wasn’t for you saying those words at the Smith family party, if it wasn’t for you blocking Major General Nicolas from investing in the project, if it wasn’t because of the machine, everything would be different!Anthony gritted his teeth. The image of Joseph smiling triumphantly kept appearing in his mind. It seems that the name Joseph has become a huge obsession for Anthony.“I will definitely not lose to you! I must make you taste pain!” Anthony’s eyes became more and more fierce. It was red and opaque. His nails dug into every fiber of his body. A sinister thought also began to appear inside the beast.Joseph here also gradually adapted to his new home. He met a neighbor named Mars. Mr. Mars lives right across from Joseph’s apartment building. He often stops by, and every time he sto
In recent days, the focus of public opinion belongs to Anderson company. If just a few days ago the press still spent a lot of good words on Anderson company’s new project, this time they turned around 180 degrees. Anderson Company is suspected of selling counterfeit goods. Hundreds of people simultaneously filed denunciations with the government. And of course, that became a “piece of cake” for the press to tear apart. Still on the front page of the newspapers, still the Anderson company. However, this time the article’s title was: “Anderson and the risk of facing the law.”At this time, Anderson company’s internal affairs became chaotic. They are like ants running in a pan of fire.“Hey Mr. Chairman, didn’t you say there would be a way to resolve this smoothly? So what is this? “A high-ranking officer in the Anderson company pointed the finger at Mr. Tony and blamed him.Mr. Tony is the leader, he cannot deny responsibility for everything that happens. Not to mention, if this case d
“So am I blaming him?” The woman looked at Charlotte and frowned. Trying to appear extremely uncomfortable with Charlotte’s argument.“I do not mean that. I’m just afraid that someone with an evil heart will take advantage of the opportunity that Anderson is in trouble and add another spark to the fire!The woman heard that and said nothing. Perhaps deep down in her heart, she was also shaken.Anthony also spoke at this time“I know this is really hard for you to accept. The threatening letters, I never knew existed.”Pausing for a moment, Anthony continued.“This matter is not difficult to investigate. I will let my company’s IT department check the shipping address of that package. I believe that if we know the sender’s IP address, we can completely find his identity. How do you feel?”The woman didn’t say anything when she heard that. She seemed to implicitly agree with Anthony’s proposal.Anderson company’s IT department quickly got to work. After a series of operations, they fina
“ Friend!” Rebecca was so angry that she gritted her teeth“Do you have anything interesting? In the end, he’s just a coward hanging around women’s skirts!”Having said that, Rebecca immediately turned to Charlotte, constantly saying contemptuous words and provoking the relationship between Charlotte and Joseph.“Miss, Joseph is definitely in this house with some rich lady!”“Ah, I remember! It’s definitely the lady at the party the other day! That person named Coco! Surely Joseph used tricks to seduce that lady, then asked that lady to buy this apartment for him!Faced with Rebecca’s insulting words about Joseph, Charlotte remained silent. In her heart, she also implicitly affirmed that what her secretary said was correct. Charlotte did not believe that Joseph could make so much money in such a short time. This apartment was far beyond Joseph’s economic ability.Anthony looked at Joseph with disdain, his play had now officially begun!“Are you the owner of this house? This also means
