"Want to meet with me?" Edwin Hilton's face was confused. All had confused expressions, according to logic, if there was a problem, shouldn't they look for the Executive Director first? Why go straight to the CEO?
"Edwin, does this problem have anything to do with you? You offended the higher-ups in Welter's company? Jonny Hilton looked coldly at his brother."No!" Edwin replied firmly."Then, you take the call first, open the loudspeaker, let's hear what the Welter Company has to say." Jonny Zakria said coldly.The pressure on Edwin was immense, in front of all the shareholders he had to take the phone proffered by the Secretary."Are you Edwin Hilton?" On the phone there, Secretary Daniel's voice was very cold."Yes, Mr. Daniel? How are you?" Edwin said reluctantly."In an hour, hold an expansion meeting, call all the managements of your company. We from Welter Company will come to discuss the acquisition of your company. Remember, call your son named Tommy!" Secretary Daniel said flatly."Yes, sir!" Edwin immediately replied and he didn't dare to argue at all.Daniel immediately hung up the phone.The look on Edwin's face turned anxious, Secretary Daniel asked his son to come over, he inwardly had a vague sense of worry. The views of all the shareholders in the place on him were also getting more and more unfavorable and suspicious."Emergency matter, now hold an expansion meeting and call all the company managements. Let's wait for the Welter company to come." Edwin said seriously.In less than half an hour, the Hilton Group company had gathered all the managers, a total of one hundred people. They gathered in a large meeting room.Edwin and Jonny greeted them at the door.Three hours later.The atmosphere in the room was very depressing, everyone waited tensely and uneasily Previously, there was a two-hour debate, fussing here and there, there was also no result at all.Even Edwin and Jonny as Rulers were also confused, they paced frantically in front of the door and waited for the people from Welter's company."My father-in-law, I see it's just dispersed today. It looks like they won't be coming!" Hans, Edwin's son-in-law said. He was tired of waiting."We can only wait, the life of our company is held by the Welter company!" Edwin saidseriously."They're acting so arrogant! They made all of our families and hundreds of shareholders wait!" Tommy said with annoyance."You idiot, shut up!" Edwin rebuked coldly, "You understand what? Every day you only know how to make trouble, we still don't know what big trouble you're making this time!"The atmosphere again drifted into pressure, in the hearts of everyone on the spot was extremely tormented. Although the air conditioning in the room was sufficient, many of the faces of the managers and shareholders were still full of sweat.Just then, outside the room, a young man carrying his business team, as well as two lawyers walked in hurriedly."Everyone, meet me, I'm Daniel, and I'm the person in charge of the Welter Company, which will acquire the Hilton Group." Secretary Daniel said seriously."At the same time, I am also the acting Chairman of the Hilton Jewelry Group. I will be in charge of taking care of all the affairs of the Hilton Jewelry Group." As he said this, Secretary Daniel pulled out the seat that belonged to the Chairman and sat down.The original Chairman was Mr. Hilton, but since his death, the Chairman position had become vacant. The highest position was only that of CEO, which was taken over by Mr. Hilton's first son-Edwin Hilton.The look on everyone's face was terrible. But they were afraid of the authority of a giant company like this Welter company. So, they didn't dare to fight back.Secretary Daniel smiled flatly when he saw all the expressions of the Hilton family. He said, "You guys probably still don't quite understand the situation, right?""Right now, I hold 55% of the Hilton Jewelry Group in my hands. Coupled with the company's twentycompany's jewelry factories, as well as the creditor rights of 30 jewelry stores." I guess, sitting in the position of the main chairman, no one will resist, right?" Secretary Daniel's voice was loud, everyone on the spot was lost in silence."This is the document regarding the acquisition plan, everyone, take a good look at it!" As he said this, Secretary Daniel told the team to distribute the documents to the shareholders on the spot.The shareholders on the spot had serious expressions."Which one is Tommy Hilton?" Suddenly, Secretary Daniel asked flatly."Me, why are you looking for me, Mr. Daniel?" Tommy asked, he showed a flattering expression."Why are you talking? I'm just asking, you should just raise your hand. It's not your turn to speak yet!" Secretary Daniel looked at Tommy coldly, and threw a glass at Tommy.Whussh!The water in the glass spilled out, while the glass hit Tommy's stomach, he felt like he was hit hard by an iron rod, his stomach felt churning and nauseous for a moment, he collapsed on the meeting table, and vomited the leftovers on the table.Inwardly, Tommy was furious, he felt a huge humiliation, a look of hatredhateful glance at Secretary Daniel."Everyone, I was going to discuss the matter properly, but this place seems to need to be cleaned up for a while." Secretary Daniel said flatly."Yes, Mr. Daniel. I'll send my employees to clean up the place." Edwin said with a flattering expression. In his heart though he also wanted to defend his son, but he also knew that Secretary Daniel's strength was stronger."Heh." Secretary Daniel smiled sarcastically, "The company must have rules, whoever does it then he bears it. So, let Tommy clean up the vomit!"Edwin's smile stiffened, and turned to scold his son, "Insubordinate son! You still dare to act up in front of Mr. Daniel? Go clean up your vomit!" He ordered Tommy.Mr. Daniel looked sharply at Edwin, "I want him to lick his vomit and swallow it back!""Lick, and swallow your vomit!" Daniel continued.The look on Edwin's face turned ugly, he didn't expect the Chairman's official coming from Welter Company to be so domineering!"You only have twenty seconds," Daniel said.Daniel continued, "If you can't do it, Edwin will have to resign as CEO, and you won't have to work in the Pearl building tomorrow, Edwin. The jewelry stores under your name, the jewelry storefronts in various large malls, as well as the processing plant, I will send a team to liquidate. With the professionalism of our team, it will only take 24 hours to complete all of this."As the principal secretary and trustee of the Chairman of Welter Group, Daniel had been in the business field for a long time, his experience in business negotiations was quite sufficient, and he had often faced big situations.Daniel's words were like a heavy blow to Edwin Hilton's chest, suffocating him.Edwin believed that Daniel had this ability. If he didn't do as Daniel said, he would step outside the Pearl building, followed by losing everything. Money, positions, villas, cars, stocks, and factories. Just thinking about it, Edwin was already shivering.Edwin's face was bright red and he looked at his son coldly, "You're still not doing as Mr. Daniel says?!"Slap! Slap!Edwin flicked two slaps at Tommy, leaving the five-finger marks on his face bright red.Tommy's face turned pale, he was hurt to the point of tears. He really didn't know who he was bothering. So he had to accept this great humiliation.Edwin slapped Tommy's face again and pressed his head to the floor. "You disobedient son! Do you want to force your father to die?" Edwin gritted his teeth and pressed Tommy's head hard.Tommy's tears dripped out, he had to lick back his vomit and then force himself to swallow it.Witnessed by the rest of the Hilton family, the employees, and the shareholders, it was obvious that the problems in the company were caused by Tommy offending the higher-ups. Their faces were not pitying Tommy, but rather they were very upset at Tommy right now.Daniel's face returned to normal, "Everyone, five minutes, I trust you have finished looking at the acquisition plan.""Welter Company acquired a large equity and physical industry from Hilton Jewelry Group, because it sees the potential of Hilton Jewelry, and has greater development value. So, all shareholders don't have to worry about profits.""Welter's professional team will make the company create greater profit value. All shareholders only need to follow my improvement system, and execute it. Future careers will definitely continue to rise," Daniel continued.All the shareholders on the spot nodded in agreement.***Six hours later at nightA large, swanky hotel, in a luxurious suite.Daniel bowed and stood in front of the table respectfully. On the sofa sat a young manwearing a white T-shirt. On the table, a laptop was showing everything that had happened at today's Hilton corporate meeting."Good job, Daniel!" James looked at the video in the meeting room complimenting it, he was amazed by Daniel's manner and ability."Thank you, Mr. James. This is the job of the subordinates who work for you." Daniel said humbly."Mr. James, the acquisition plan this time is all arranged according to your request, everything is smooth. Now, Edwin Hilton fell ill, he is already dying, and there are still many business enemies waiting to bring him down."Daniel reported seriously, "It's just that, the Hilton family relationship seems to be very strong, as they help each other out. My question is, do we need to fight them all until there are none left?""No need." James said flatly."Oh yeah, regarding the matter of Eden Hilton's property factory, you should also pay attention." James reminded. "All taken care of according to the procedure, include it in the Hilton Jewelry Group's industry chain, give Eden the rights and interests as the head of the factory.""Young master, is it necessary to arrange an important position for Mr. Eden Hilton in the Hilton Group's corporate Board of Directors?""Just do as I say. Don't ask anything else," James replied coldly."Sorry, Sir. I will carry out all your instructions." Daniel immediately took his place and became more respectful towards James.Daniel knew James' identity, so he wanted to be nice to this young man. "After you return to the office, use the name of the Board of Directors, announce the news, and collect jewelry creative designs, recruitment is open for jewelry designer director." James said."Ok, Sir.""Alright, you go home, report to me in the future." James said flatly.***
"The other day at your wedding, I already apologized. Besides, the fault of that problem was not caused by me." James said flatly."Hehe, what a bold tone! James, have you forgotten what I said to you?" At this moment a low voice was heard. Hans walked over and looked coldly at James and Sheva."Sheva, I suggest you should know yourself, and take your trashy husband away from here, don't be embarrassing here!" Hans said with a fierce expression."What's going on?" Just then, a low and very authoritative voice sounded. Daniel walked out of his room.Hans and Luna's gazes were a little tense at Daniel's sudden arrival."Sir, it's okay. It's just a small problem. There are people who don't understand the company rules, so I'm giving them a reprimand." Hans replied."Oh?" Daniel looked at Hans and asked. "Who doesn't understand the rules?"Hans said, "A junior employee from the marketing department, her name is Sheva. She trespassed into the office of the company's top brass, I'm reprima
James' body swayed and dodged the fist."Your reaction is very fast!" said the muscular man. "Then I'll paralyze your legs!"The expressions of the two muscular men became ferocious, they jointly kicked strongly at James' knee bones. Then, James tilted his body. He kicked them twice. The sound of wind rang out, and James' kick hit the waist of the two muscular men.Thump!Thump!The two muscular men were kicked until they flew a few meters away, and fell on the ground with force. They immediately vomited blood. When they looked at James, they became even more scared.They couldn't believe that just James' two feet had almost paralyzed them! James' strength was so cruel."Who told you to find me here? Tell me!" James' face became very cold."We were just following orders from the boss." A muscular man said fearfully."Our boss is a man of honor. Since you have dared to hurt us, our boss will not allow this. He will take revenge on you immediately!" One of them said tensely.James furro
Shogun knelt down and begged, "Mr. James, forgive me! I didn't think to offend you! These are all orders from Hans Avanzo!""So, Hans told you to do this?" James asked with a cold look."That's right, Hans told me to kidnap you, Mr. James." Shogun said firmly. He was currently impatient to kill Hans, because he felt wronged. Because of Hans, he almost died at the hands of James!In fact, Hans told Shogun that James was just a weak and poor man. But in fact, James is very strong and a martial arts expert. So, Shogun felt cheated by Hans. From now on, he really hated Hans.James thought for a moment and asked coldly, "What exactly is it? Tell me completely and clearly!" Shogun secretly felt relieved and said seriously, "Mr. James, yesterday Hans invited me to meet, and he gave me a piece of photo. Then, he told me to organize my men and kidnap the person in the photo, he said he would pay me $1 million dollars.""Whose photo?" James asked curiously.Shogun obediently took out two photo
"This car is too expensive." Sheva said."Where did you get the money to buy this car?" Sheva looked at James suspiciously.As far as Sheva knew, James had been selling BBQ chicken and toast at a small roadside stand. There was no way that James could make so much money from his sales, and then buy a car."I have been saving for years." James replied casually.""You're the design director of this company, so you should have a car!" James continued."Nope." Sheva shook her head, she refused, "Even if you buy it, I still don't want it. This car is for you only.""Don't forget, at work, I'm now your Assistant Director." James smiled. "YouYou are my boss, since I am your assistant, I have the right to take care of you, and this is one of the ways I serve you, by giving you a car.""After all, mine isn't yours too, right?" James said again.Sheva bit her lower lip when she looked at James and saw this classy BMW 530i. Actually, her heart was touched by James' kindness."Don't think about
The look on Gerald Timothy's face was calm, and he said, "Apparently, you don't want to go back to the Timothy home after all.""I've already told you, there is no relationship between me and the Timothy family." James said flatly."If you don't want to go home I won't force you." Gerald said flatly, "The divorce with your mother was one of the things in my life that went wrong and also one of the most painful things for me. But, I will never admit my mistakes outright."James smiled sarcastically, "In that case, what did you ask me to come today?""I asked you to come today to tell you that I'm going home to London." Gerald said."I have bought a villa in the top villa area in Leeds, Villa L Xnow. In the basement parking lot are ten sports cars. Also, in the Swiss bank account, there are $900 million US dollars." Gerald said flatly, "You take it, even if you don't recognize me as your father, but you as my son should not be oppressed by people and live in poverty for a lifetime!""I
"I am Sheva's husband." James said flatly, "This poor quality necklace, you leave it for your own use!""What! You're Sheva's husband?""I heard Sheva's family found a poor husband for her, is that him?""Tsk, it turns out you're the Hilton family's famously poor son-in-law. Why did you become Sheva's assistant?"For a moment, the people in the room made hissing sounds, and laughed at James heartlessly. They had obviously heard of James.Paul's face was dumbfounded, then a very dismissive expression appeared on his face. "It turns out you're the famously poor James. Heard you became the poorest son-in-law in the Hilton family. You're a disgrace!" Paul sarcastically said, "Why did you forbid me from giving this necklace to Sheva? Are you jealous? I know you can't afford a hundred million dollar emerald necklace, right? HAHAH!" "HAHAH!"The people in the room were all laughing at James, all standing on Paul's side. James shook his head saying, "Your emerald necklace has a chemical coa
Robert caught a glimpse of James, then he made a mocking expression, "Oh, you are James, the poorest son-in-law in the Hilton family.""You have to remember, I'm in charge here." Robert said haughtily."Take Sheva to the private room upstairs, I want to have a glass with her and have some fun." Robert ordered his men.After he finished speaking, some of Robet's men already wanted to move to grab Sheva and take her."You're looking to die?!" James groaned and got angry.Thump!James attacked Robet. His knee pressed firmly on Robert's stomach, and choked Robert's neck until Robert's face turned red and he was almost suffocating."Aaaaa!" The expression on Robert's face was shocked and he did not expect that James would dare to move to attack him."Kneel down!" James' eyes bulged and he gave Robert an command.Robert seemed to have no strength. He was currently kneeling at James, but his expression was furious."You dare to hit me? Do you know who's behind me? Even the Hiltin family does
"You’re James, right?" Just as James was about to leave, a beautiful girl in her twenties approached with an arrogant attitude. The young girl had an alluring figure, dressed stylishly in hot pants and a white t-shirt. On her wrist, she wore a luxurious Chanel watch. She looked like she was truly trying to capture attention. James glanced at the girl. "Who are you? Do you know me?" "Let me introduce myself, I’m Bella’s good friend. My name is Emily," she said casually, pointing to the seat in front of her. "I know about you, James. You’re quite famous in this city." "Where’s Bella?" James asked flatly. "Bella has some matters to attend to, so she asked me to come first," Emily replied as she sat down and pointed to the chair across from her. "Sit down, we need to talk. There’s something I need to ask you." James shook his head, feeling impatient with her attitude. "I don’t know you, and there’s nothing I need to discuss with you," he answered calmly. Emily snorted in f
Sheva wanted to say something but ended up not asking much. “By the way, Sheva, have you picked a villa on that artificial island we talked about earlier?” James asked, suddenly recalling something. “If you’ve found a suitable villa, let’s move in.” Sheva thought for a moment and replied, “It’s too much of a hassle. I think Villa Dragon Snow is good enough. The Rahel family has returned to their hometown, and the villa has already been cleaned up quite a bit.” “By the way, what’s the story with the artificial island? Was it you and your friends who developed it?” Sheva asked with curiosity. James nodded. “It’s up to you. You can stay wherever you like. Besides, I won’t be returning to Villa Dragon Snow for a while.” “I understand,” Sheva replied, nodding as she looked at James seriously. “I’m planning to use the company’s jewelry promotion as an opportunity to visit some other cities and maybe find an interesting place. What do you think?” “Oh? You want to travel?” James a
"Are you kidding, Miss Leen? We respect Tornado Corp, but you’re asking us to turn down a profitable deal and wait for your plan? That makes no sense," one of the businessmen on the floor said firmly. "Miss Leen, what you're saying is absurd. We have no reason or obligation to delay this just to wait for you," added another. The crowd began to voice their frustrations, growing tired of what they saw as Leen’s excessive demands. "Do you really expect us to sell off our investment projects and keep our major investors waiting just because you promise to bring something better? This feels like a joke! Is Tornado Corp the only one capable of developing large projects?" another businessman sneered. Leen's frustration started to show. Seeing the situation spiral out of control, she spoke coldly. "Everyone, I suggest you don't challenge Tornado Corp! If you do, things will not end well for you. If you dare sign a contract with Ocean Real Estate Corp, you’ll regret it." "What do you mean
"How foolish! This time, the project is the construction of a massive commercial plaza in Xo City, far larger than the previous one. Carlo didn’t have enough money last time. Can he compete with Tornado Corp this time?" The meeting room buzzed with discussions. Carlo's face was grim as he sank into his thoughts. The recent incident had caused a major stir in the business community, making him the subject of gossip—a heavy blow to the reputation of Ocean Real Estate Corp. Now, even insignificant figures dared to mock Carlo, eager to gain favor with Tornado Corp. "Mr. James, I failed to handle the issue last time. It was a great embarrassment for the company," Carlo said, bowing his head, his face flushed with shame. After all, Ocean Real Estate Corp was James's asset—Carlo was merely managing it. The company's damaged reputation weighed heavily on him, leaving him burdened with guilt. James remained calm and patted Carlo's shoulder. "Don’t dwell on the past. Focus on the opportuni
"I don’t know. Maybe James and Carlo have something going on,” said Sheva in a flat tone. “Hey, Sheva, let me tell you something. Don’t let James take advantage like this. Carlo is like the God of Fortune! You have to make the most of it,” Maria said in frustration, as if regretting Sheva’s lack of assertiveness. Sheva simply shook her head, not interested in responding. She knew James and Carlo had been friends for a long time. In fact, the last time she told her parents that it was James who introduced her to Ocean Corp, they didn’t believe her. Under Carlo's guidance, James arrived at the luxurious office and sat in the boss’s chair without hesitation. Ethan, who had followed Carlo from the beginning, watched nervously. “James, don’t you know the rules? Isn’t Mr. Carlo supposed to sit there? Why are you sitting in the boss’s chair like it’s yours?” Ethan scolded James angrily. In Ethan’s eyes, James had crossed the line. To him, James’s status and behavior were clearly not on
"Sheva, there's no need to talk to him," James said calmly, refusing to engage with Ethan. Ethan overheard the remark and immediately felt insulted. "Who the hell are you? I'm talking to Sheva. What gives you the right to butt in?" Ethan snapped, his voice filled with anger. Maria gave a nervous smile, trying to ease the tension. "Apologies, Mr. Ethan. He's just an assistant." "An assistant daring to speak out of turn?" Ethan sneered. "He should be fired on the spot." Maria tried to pacify the situation. "Mr. Ethan, our company holds you in high regard. If you have any requests, please feel free to express them." Ethan scoffed. "Fine, for Director Sheva’s sake, I won't make things too difficult. But I do have a few simple conditions." With an arrogant tone, Ethan continued, "During the seven days of the promotional shoot, I’ll need a 24-hour security team, reporters, and luxury transportation. I also demand to stay in the best hotel in town, and everything should be top-notch.
After hearing Shogun's report, James hung up the phone and headed straight to the exhibition hall, then took the elevator up. According to Shogun’s report from the previous night, based on what Dimom had said about their situation, the true leader of Tornado Corp had never appeared. Even as the Deputy Director of Tornado Corp, Dimom only knew the president who handled day-to-day business and the professional managers hired by the company. However, they didn’t know who the real boss was. This piqued James’s interest slightly. After receiving Shogun’s report, James ordered him to take the team to the docks and blow up Tornado Corp’s warehouse, with the goal of forcing the hidden figures to reveal themselves. As the elevator arrived at the 38th floor, the doors opened slowly. The exhibition hall on this floor was filled with middle-aged men and women in luxurious attire, coming and going. Red carpets lined the floor, and the room was decorated elegantly. Long tables were adorned wit
"If you dare to spout more nonsense, I'll kill you!" David said cruelly. "You don't even know if you want to live or die, and Mr. James still has so many questions for you. Do you think Tornado Corp is worth more than your life?" Dimom's face twitched, and his head began to spin. Without hesitation, David threw two punches at Dimom's face. Dimom, now struck, was terrified, completely overwhelmed by David’s menacing aura. David seemed like a madman, relentless in destroying his enemies. "If you don’t want to die, bow to Mr. James right now, then stay quiet and answer his questions obediently. If not, everyone here will be killed!" Shogun said coldly, making Dimom tremble in fear. "This..." The three men exchanged looks before glancing at James in terror and quickly bowing their heads. Initially, they thought James was just an incompetent son-in-law. But to their shock, they realized Shogun was actually James' subordinate, and he had taken down all of Rollo's bodyguards? It was un
“Did you hear that? Don't come any closer!” Alex shouted frantically to his men, he was getting scared and didn't dare to move.James gave Alex a sharp look. “When did you start working for Tornado Corp? Are you willing to sacrifice your dignity for money?” he asked, his voice low and full of anger.Alex tried to stay strong despite the fear clearly visible on his face. “James, don't play games! If you kill me, you won't get out of here alive either!” threatened Alex, though his tone sounded more like a plea.James smiled sarcastically. “I can't get out of here? We'll see,” he said as he slammed his knee into Alex's stomach, making Alex spit out blood. Alex's body was shaking violently, his face turning pale.Despite the pain, Alex still tried to maintain his dignity. “Don't be arrogant, James! This place is full of my men. Let me go, and I'll talk to Boss Dimom to give you a chance. Otherwise, you'll have nowhere to run today!” Alex shouted with all the courage he had left.However,
