"You are?" Sir Li Wei asked, his eyes narrowing slightly."I am John Xing, Sir Li Wei. Our patriarch has been displeased with the way my cousin sister handled the contract your company gave us in a poor manner, and he sent me over here to request a switch to have me handle it instead," John replied, throwing Diana a disdainful smirk.Hearing those words, Sir Li Wei's eyes twinkled as he took a sneak glance at Jaxon, who almost smirked faintly. In that moment, it was as if two devilish horns were flickering on both men, a sight of mischievousness brewing as they planned something."Your patriarch? Why? I thought Mrs. Diana was handling the contract satisfactorily?" Sir Li Wei asked, his expression clouded by a light frown.John saw an opportunity to discredit Diana and concocted a malicious scheme. If he could manipulate Master Sage Company into discrediting her, her business would suffer irreparable damage, and his own would flourish. This might even give him a strategic advantage ove
"S... Sir Li Wei, I... it seems like you have made a grave mistake... S... She is the one who has been deceitful, not us." His chubby cheeks quivered as he spoke, his eyes wide with panic. He knew he was doomed, that if word of this got out, his family's businesses would suffer drastic and irreparable damage, and he would be the one held accountable. The thought sent a chill down his spine, and he knew he had to think fast to salvage the situation."Guards!" Sir Li Wei bellowed, not bothering to listen to John's pleas as he commanded, "Remove those men from my premises at once!" In an instant, three burly guards appeared and, without hesitation, two of them grasped the chubby John, one by the shirt and the other by his trousers, in a humiliating manner, and swiftly dragged him out. Meanwhile, the third guard didn't even deign to look at the lanky Fan Fan, instead grabbing him by the collar and dragging him out of the company like a sack of rice. Upon reaching the company gate, he f
"Hello..." Diana's voice trailed off, her joyful expression faltering as she listened to the caller. The conversation ended, and she looked at Jaxon with a somber face. "What's wrong?" he asked, calmly."It's Grandpa," she replied, her voice tinged with sadness. "John has reported me to him, and he's ordered me to visit him at the hospital immediately."****As Jaxon and Diana entered the hospital, they made their way to the VIP ward where the patriarch was being treated. Upon reaching the door, it swung open, and Jaxon's eyes met those of Doctor Mo Fan's assistant, who was exiting the ward after attending to the patriarch. The assistant's eyes narrowed, and he sneered, "Ah, who do we have here? Is this the useless husband of..."Jaxon, in no mood to indulge in the assistant's verbal jabs, swiftly grabbed him by the shirt and pushed him aside, his action swift and forceful. He then led Diana into the room, shutting the door behind them. Bam!The assistant's face contorted in anger,
"Hahahaha, if you can really prove that you got her the contract, I'll let you slap me! How about that?"A smirk slowly spread across Jaxon's face as he replied, "I hope you won't go back on your words later. Because I love deals like that."John's heart skipped a beat as soon as he heard Jaxon's words, feeling like he had fallen into a trap. He scoffed at himself inwardly, thinking, _What can a pathetic man like him do to me?_Meanwhile, Jaxon, unfazed by the tension in the room, calmly pulled out his phone and dialed a number. After a few rings, someone answered. "Greetings, young master—" Jaxon hastily interrupted, "It's me, Jaxon." He cursed inwardly, realizing Sir Li Wei had almost exposed his real identity.Sir Li Wei quickly changed his tone, "Hahaha, brother Jaxon, I didn't know it was you since your number appears unknown here. How is your wife doing?"Jaxon replied calmly, "She's fine," making Diana blush slightly. Has he been telling others about her?Sir Li Wei asked, "
"Hahaha, can you hear that? We will kneel before her? Over our dead bodies." He spat.Jaxon smirked as he heard those words. "You owe me a slap, and the day you people come to beg us, I promise to slap you and humiliate you."Under the furious stares from the family, he led Diana out of the ward.****"What can we do, Jaxon?" Diana asked, her voice laced with desperation as she stood weakly outside the hospital, her eyes red and puffy from crying. "I know you have connections with the Master Sage Company and have already helped me regain the contract with additional benefits, but... But... If the family cuts ties with my company, it will be the end for me." She gazed at Jaxon, who remained calm and composed despite the dire situation."How much financial support do you receive from the Xing family on a monthly basis?" Jaxon inquired, his tone neutral. Diana noticed how he referred to the 'Xing' family, as if he didn't consider himself a part of it."I receive 4 million Yuan each month
"Okay, since it's so, I will issue an announcement to purchase the largest plot of land in Skylar City, located in the heart of the bustling city center. Then, I will have it developed into multiple villas. She will be in charge of everything, and this business venture will generate no less than 1.4 billion Yuan for her company. I am confident that with such sensational news, her family will no longer dare to look down on her," Patriarch Anderson declared, his words filled with a sense of authority and resolve a true patriarch should have."Thanks, Dad," Jaxon said with a smile, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders as he ended the call. Finally, after years of holding grudges against his father, he had made a call that signified he had let the past go, and a new chapter in their relationship could begin."But, do I want Diana's family to take her back? No, those people aren't worthy of benefiting from my family's company," he muttered to himself, his expression contemplative as he
"Ahem," Jaxon cleared his throat as he spoke, "so, are you not going back to your room?" Hearing that question suddenly dampened Diana's mood, and her emotions flipped like a switch."What?! You don't like it when I'm in your room?! Do you secretly chat with another girl?! Hmph! You know what! I don't care!" she exclaimed, her voice rising as she climbed down from the bed, her movements swift and angry.She stomped out of the room, leaving Jaxon in a state of confusion, his eyes wide with wonder. Bam!The sound of the door being slammed shut jolted him back from his thoughts."What happened?" he muttered, his expression perplexed. "Weren't we having a heart-to-heart conversation here just now? Did I say something wrong?" he wondered.****The next day, at 7:00 a.mDiana was occupied with having her morning meal while watching the early morning news, and a particular report caught her attention."Good morning, esteemed citizens of Skylar City. I am Zu An, your trusted news anchor, and
"Yes, now, if you'll permit me to continue, your company will be responsible for constructing the villas, and this venture is projected to generate a minimum of 1.5 billion Yuan for your company. Please here are the contracts attached; kindly review and sign them at your earliest convenience."Diana's mind reeled in shock as she struggled to process the information. 1.5 billion Yuan? The sheer magnitude of the figure left her stunned. The cumulative assets of the Xing family couldn't even approximate such an amount, and yet, this wonderful opportunity had landed in her lap without any effort on her part, all thanks to Jaxon's intervention. This realization both shocked and intrigued her, leaving her pondering Jaxon's true identity and the extent of his influence."I... I will sign it right away!" Diana let out as she quickly took the contract and look through it before signing it.What was the need of taking her time before such a huge contract?****Evening 7:00 PM "... That's not a
