Brian looked at Joseph, his voice almost pleading. “Joseph, stop talking.” He turned to Mr. William impatiently. “Sir William, please allow me to take Joseph away from here.”Mr. William said nothing, just nodded coldly. Brian quickly pushed Joseph’s wheelchair out of the dining room, leaving the tense “battlefield”. Butler Canluvick was waiting outside with a medical kit in hand.“Canluvick, thank you,” Brian said, taking the medical kit“I’ll take Joseph to his room and take care of him.”Canluvick nodded, worried. “Sir Brian, if you need any help, please call me.”Brian thanked him again and pushed Joseph’s wheelchair back to his room. When he arrived, Brian opened the door and gently helped Joseph onto the bed. He opened the medical box and prepared tools to clean the wound.Brian wiped the wine off Joseph’s face, complaining as he did so. “Joseph, why do you confront that old man?” He stopped and looked at Joseph. “You know his personality. It’s okay to hold back for a bit.”Jose
Joseph sat in front of the window, looking out at the sky changing in the dawn light. The first rays of the new day's sunlight crept through the door, illuminating the quiet room. In his hand, an old photo has faded with time. The image of his mother when she was young, her face was kind and gentle, smiling slightly when she was with him.Joseph caressed the photo, his fingers gently touching her face. He whispered like a monologue to himself, his voice quiet. "Mom, I miss you. When you passed away, you told me not to avenge you, and not to confront dad. I used to listen to you, but it seems like the trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop."He remembers the lonely days after his mother passed away, recalling her last words of advice. His mother had always wanted him to live a peaceful life, away from conflicts and suffering. But Mr. William, the father he always tried to respect, never wanted to pass on the inheritance to him or even nurture him or want him to be better. If
“Joseph, the company is having a bit of an error. Cause no more trouble. Sit still and let me handle it.” Jayce turned to Joseph, his eyes serious but unable to hide his anger.Joseph looked at Jayce, clearly sensing his brother’s disdain. The other employees in the room paid little attention to his presence, only focusing on trying to fix the problem. Joseph calmly observed and saw everyone in chaos, but no one really knew how to handle the problem.“What kind of business are you guys doing? You can’t fix a simple mistake like this! If you can’t do your job, then quit!” Jayce got mad and scolded the IT team.“We we…”The IT team bowed their heads and hesitated to speak. Indeed, they themselves have never encountered an incident like this before.“Jayce, let me try.” Joseph suddenly approached, his face still as calm as before.Jayce shook Joseph’s hand away, his voice filled with coldness. “The company is already in chaos, cause no more chaos.”Jayce’s attitude now is in complete con
“Everything has just begun!” A devilish smile appeared on Joseph’s handsome face.After leaving Jayce’s room, Joseph walked around the company all morning. He observed everything, from working departments to small meetings taking place in glass conference rooms. Joseph took his camera with him and occasionally stopped to take a few photos, not only to entertain himself but also to record the moments and working atmosphere of William Group.Around afternoon, when Joseph was sitting in a quiet corner near the hallway, his phone rang. He looked at the screen, saw Brian’s name appear, and quickly answered.“Hi, Brian. What’s going on?” Joseph asked, his voice gentle but unable to hide his curiosity.Brian quickly got straight to the point. “Joseph, the acquisition of Anderson Group has been completed. But there’s something unexpected. Jeff Anderson wants to meet you to thank you. He also said he has a good business deal to bring you.”Joseph looked around, then moved to a quieter hallway
Joseph walked towards the elevator to return to his office. When the elevator door opened, he suddenly ran into Jayce. Jayce looked relaxed, but Joseph’s sharp eyes couldn’t miss the slight tiredness on his brother’s face.Joseph asked casually, trying to keep his tone light. “Where did you just get back from?”“Ah, I just went to the cafe across the street to buy some water. I’ve been so busy at work that I need a drink to stay awake.” Jayce smiled slightly, a bit awkward, but tried to hide it.“Is that so? You must be very busy today.”Jayce sighed and stepped into the elevator with Joseph, his eyes slightly tense. “That’s right, Joseph. Today I’m too busy, I can’t give you much instructions or tasks. But tomorrow will definitely be different. I will spend more time guiding you.”Joseph smiled slightly. Of course, he understood it was just a reason to let Jayce’s matter go.“It’s okay, you are my brother. I know you will create the best conditions for me to develop.” Joseph said whi
Mr. William nodded. His eyes could not hide his satisfaction. “You have proven your abilities. I am very proud of you, Joseph.”“If Joseph is that good, then Jayce has a lot to worry about in the future, right? I’m afraid his pile of sleeping pills must have increased.” Norman, sitting at the corner of the table, casually spoke up, his voice full of sarcasm.Jayce, sitting across from Norman, frowned and turned to look at his brother. “Norman, what are you talking about? Of course, I’m happy if Joseph is talented. That’s the joy of the whole William family.”Norman smirked, unable to hide the mockery in his voice. “Really, Jayce? Are you thrilled about that?”Joseph sat quietly observing. He felt that the relationship between Norman and Jayce was not good. Norman’s sarcastic words and Jayce’s reaction show that there is an underlying tension between them. Joseph also grasped some information about Jayce’s past, what Jayce did to maintain his position in the corporation.In Joseph’s mi
“Jayce, it’s a shame I can’t let you have your satisfaction.” Joseph smiled maliciously, his eyes flashing with calculation. He muttered to himself, his voice full of challenge.He tidied everything up and carefully arranged the medical equipment back into the suitcase. He left the bottle of Ganoderma medicine intact on the table, as if it had never been touched. At that moment, Joseph’s phone vibrated. Brian’s message appeared, announcing the time and location of tonight’s meeting. Jeff met them at a nightclub at 12 o’clock at night.Joseph texted back “ok” to Brian, then instructed, “Prepare me a mask.”After planning, Joseph stood up. He swung his legs, with no signs of any injury. Standing in front of the mirror, he looked at himself and smiled evilly. “This minor injury can’t make things difficult for me.”The hands of the clock ticked past eleven-thirty. Joseph’s door opened gently, and he walked out making no noise. He makes every gesture and action carefully and precisely.Jos
“You guys, tell them about our project.” Jeff turned to Leon and Adobe.Leon nodded, took out his phone and opened an app. He walked up to Joseph and Brian, holding up the phone for them to see. “This is our product,” Leon began, his voice filled with pride.Joseph and Brian looked at the phone screen. It’s an online gambling app. The interface is shiny and attractive. Joseph immediately understood something, but he kept silent, letting Leon and Adobe continue.“This is an online gambling app,” Leon explained, his voice filled with excitement. “This application is run by AI and controlled by real people. We designed it to trick gamblers into playing and then swallowing their money.”Adobe interjected, flashing a despicable smile. “That’s right. Our revenue has skyrocketed since launching this app. Gamblers are caught in a spiral and can’t get out.”Joseph heard them boasting about their revenue and clearly saw the cunning of the three people in front of them. He knew that he definitel
