"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 reprimanding her.""I told her to come see me, why, do you have a problem with that?" Daniel said flatly to Hans.After speaking, Daniel smiled at Sheva. "Miss Sheva, I've seen the creative jewelry design you sent me yesterday. It's very good. Please come to my office, we can discuss the details of your design.""Yes, thank you, Mr. Daniel." Sheva said seriously.Daniel no longer cared about Hans and the others, he turned back to his room, Sheva and James following him.Luna looked at Sheva and James' backs, she snorted coldly, and her expression was very annoyed.In Daniel's roomDaniel poured coffee on Sheva and James and in person. This startled Sheva, as she thought her creative design was receiving attention from Daniel."No need to be tense, just relax." Daniel returned to his seat and said with a kind expression, "That pendant you designed, I am very satisfied. It is the highest skill and achievement I have received to date.""Thank you, Sir." Sheva said, and took the initiative to introduce James. "It was also the idea of James, the man sitting next to me right now.""Really? He's your husband?" Daniel asked.Sheva hesitated for a moment and then nodded her head.Daniel smiled, "This time I invited you to come, I want to tell you, your creative design has been used by the Board of Directors, the company will make the finished product. Later, I will give you a project to work on, I hope you will directly supervise the research development work. You are solely responsible for everything.""Miss Sheva, your creative design has reached my testing standards. I will recruit you to be the Director of the Design Department as well as the Chief Jewelry Designer.""If you agree, then I will announce it in front of the Board of Directors." Daniel slowly said, "Today, you can move into the Director's office."Maggie Sheva's lips pursed slightly, she couldn't believe it, and she felt like she was dreaming. Daniel had made her the chief designer as well as the design director, this was an important position that had the highest power in the company's jewelry design!"Mr. Daniel, I am very grateful to you for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely complete this project," Sheva said happily."You don't have to thank me." Daniel smiled and glanced at James, "By the way, your husband was able to design the pendant with you, it seems that he also has unusual abilities. Would he consider joining the company's jewelry design team?"Sheva looked at James and winked, "What do you think?"James smilingly said, "Telling me to become a jewelry designer, but my knowledge of the field is still not enough. It's just that, I can serve as your Assistant, I will help you."Sheva nodded her head and looked at Daniel, "Mr. Daniel, can James be my assistant?""You don't need to ask me." Daniel said, "There is no hesitation in hiring, since I hired you to be the company's design director, then, you are in charge of the jewelry design team. The personal part, you can choose yourself."Two minutes later.Daniel and Sheva both walked out of the room.All the employees showed shocked looks."Alright, everyone stop your work for a moment." Daniel faced all the employees and higher-ups in the room and said seriously.Daniel had a serious expression, "I am now officially announcing, in the future, the responsibility for the company's jewelry design team will be fully assumed by Director Sheva, she is the newly appointed replacement design director."After this announcement, everyone was shocked, and looked at Sheva with a look of disbelief."What? Design director? On what basis is she?" After listening to Daniel's announcement, Luna was shocked. This news was like a thunderbolt exploding in her mind. These few years, even though she was the deputy design director, she continued to be the real powerhouse of the company's jewelry design team.Daniel's gaze coldly looked at Luna. "Are you doubting my decision?"Greeting Daniel's cold gaze, Luna's heart was furious and felt humiliated, she wanted to argue but there was still some logic so she held back."Sir, I don't think this is too rash? You've decided on the position of a design director so easily?" Hans said a little dissatisfied, "Previously, Sheva was just a junior employee in the marketing department, she had no work experience in this field at all.""The jewelry design team is related to product development, a key link in the company's industry." Hans said truthfully, "Sheva is not qualified to serve as a design director. I'm afraid this kind of decision will make other employees unhappy."Daniel smiled, "I'm your boss here, don't doubt what I do!"Hans' face was very dissatisfied, and held back the fire of anger.In their hearts, they were very jealous of Sheva who could get a good position, but from the outside, they didn't dare to doubt Daniel.Then, Hans' eyes looked at James coldly and threatened, "James, you dare to forget what I said last time? I'll give you a reply that you won't be able to forget forever!"James ignored Hans. He and Sheva turned around and left.Hans saw James' back with a cold expression.***At home.Sheva's parents had gotten the good news from the phone, and were happy. Maria immediately prepared the food. In fact, she rarely cooked. It was always James who cooked."Today my daughter has been promoted to Director of corporate design, and is in charge of a big project! We should celebrate!" At the dining table, Maria said happily and immediately opened a bottle of red wine."But I'm a little disappointed with one of your decisions, Sheva." Maria gave a dissatisfied expression."What is it, Mom?" Sheva asked."You made James your assistant? Hey, he doesn't know anything! Apart from messing up, what can he do? Listen to me, fire James as your assistant. James can't be your assistant.""Mom, this time James got appreciation from Mr. Daniel, because he also contributed to my design." Sheva replied firmly to her mother's doubts."Alright, then let him serve for a while!" Maria raised an eyebrow in agreement, although she still underestimated James."James, you mustn't make a big deal out of our family! If you come with Sheva to the office, you mustn't embarrass her!" Maria reminded James.At this moment, Eden fingered his empty cigarette packet. He said to James, "James, buy me a pack of cigarettes!"James nodded his head and stood up to go out. During his marriage to Sheva, he was always instructed by this family to do anything. This was because they made James their servant in this house.Since living here, James was also used to his mother-in-law's nagging, so he didn't really care.As James walked out to the store, a black car suddenly pulled up in front of him.From inside the car suddenly descended two muscular men with cold expressions staring at James."You guys came looking for me?" James asked with a furrowed brow."Your guess is right!" One of them replied.The muscular man smiled coldly and suddenly raised his hand to swing a fist at James' face!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
"What, I didn't hear wrong, right?" Robert and some of his men were shocked and showed shaken faces."Mr. James, I didn't expect you to be here too. What's the matter, sir?" Shogun wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked James respectfully.James said flatly, "You can ask your men...""Robert, are you offending Mr. James?" Shogun immediately asked and his tone of voice was cold. "Boss, I was just joking to Sheva, but James hit me right away." Robert said."You brought a lot of men, are you prepared to help Robert to attack me?" James asked Shogun flatly."No, Mr. James. I don't dare to attack you." Shogun's forehead appeared a big grain of sweat and said respectfully.James said flatly, "Shogun, take care of your men first.""Boss, how can you be so deferential to him? He's just the poorest son-in-law in the Hilton family!" Robert said, he still didn't understand the situation.Shogun looked at Robert, he looked at Robert like he wanted to stab him. Because, Robert said words tha
"Yes. I want to buy this house. But, I have some business, so please go help me take care of all the administration. Okay?" James said flatly and handed over a bank card, " The code for this card is 3 times 10. When you're done with the administration, call me."Having finished speaking, James turned to leave.The salesman received the card from James with a dumbfounded expression."He's so arrogant! He just threw a card at me!" The salesman's attitude belittled James and he continued to grumble. When he clearly sees the card in his hand, he immediately shows a surprised look on his face.It's a dark black bank card with a gold border, on top there's a series of small words like, VIP exclusive custom, Swiss Bank."There's no way....this black and gold savings card..." The salesman looked on dumbfounded. As someone who had been in the job for many years, he naturally knew this type of card. It is a card specially made by Swiss Bank for large clients with savings above a trillion dollar
"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,
