Susan immediately became alarmed. She was not a silly woman, so she naturally realized that Victor was trying to take advantage of the situation.Victor had liked Susan from the first time he saw her.As the University of Foreign Studies’ beauty queen, the youthful and cheerful aura that Susan emitted made her very attractive. Added with her slender figure and extremely delicate features, many men fell for her.Victor was not the first man who wanted Susan, and he would definitely not be the last man.Susan’s expression was cold, and she did not know how she should answer for a time.She was naturally not willing to accept his terms. However, if she dared to say “No”, Mr. Redfern could die at any minute. She could not be impulsive. She had to remain calm.“What do you think? Are you willing, Susan?“I’m actually only ten years older than you, so there won’t be a generation gap between us. Besides, my job and income are quite good. If you marry me, you won’t suffer any loss.“I
Everyone immediately stood up.“Hi, Mr. Payne.”Timothy nodded. “Assemble a few staff members to follow me to Third Southland General Hospital now.” Mr. Reid was stunned. Why did the deputy director want to go as well?He spoke to test Timothy out. “Mr. Payne, it will be enough if we go and handle it ourselves. Why are you personally going? Don’t worry, I guarantee that nothing will happen to the young master.”“The young master?” Timothy frowned. “Are you talking about Victor? What’s wrong with him again?”Mr. Reid was taken aback. “Don’t you know about it, Mr. Payne? The young master just called me to send a few staff over. He said that someone there is creating a fuss by questioning him about the price of the drugs.”“Huh?” Timothy secretly muttered. It could not be so coincidental, right?The head office of three districts had called over and said that the chief officer in charge had asked him to go to Third Southland General Hospital. He was also required to investigate
Along with hurried footsteps, the staff of FDA arrived in Third Southland General Hospital.Victor put his cup down and said with an unserious attitude, “Look, there is absolutely no problem with my list.”Before he finished his words, the door was opened, and a middle-aged man brought some people to walk into the room.“You guys are finally here.”“Why did you come so slowly this time? You’ve made me wait for a long time.“Do you believe that I’ll fire all of you later?”Facing the staff of FDA, Victor was similarly bad-tempered. He did not care about them at all.The middle-aged man took off his tophat, and he coldly asked, “Who do you want to fire?”When Victor heard the voice, he was immediately so shocked that he got up from the chair. He widened his eyes and carefully looked at the person before he instantly became stunned.“Dad?“Dad, why are you here?“You can just let Mr. Reid come to handle this kind of small matter.”When Victor saw that Timothy personally came,
Other people initially wanted to come forward and stop Timothy, but he angrily yelled, “Everyone, step back! I’ll beat whoever dares to come forward and stop me!”Slap! Slap! Slap!Again and again, he beat Victor very hard, and painful screams were heard in the room.Susan was totally dumbfounded.She pulled Thomas by the arm. “Wha-what’s happening?”Thomas smiled. “It’s simple. There is a problem with the list. Mr. Payne can’t bear it, so he punishes his son for justice.”“Is it so simple?”“Otherwise?”Susan pouted. “Why do I feel that you’re the one who secretly plays tricks?”Thomas smiled without saying anything.Timothy ruthlessly beat his son for twenty minutes. It made Victor faint because of the pain all over his body.“This is the hospital. Don’t need to be so troublesome. Just ask the nurses over to carry him out.”His subordinates looked at each other before they immediately called the nurses over to help out.Timothy threw the broom away. He gasped while walki
After Thomas sent Susan back home, he hurriedly had his dinner and slept.The next morning, Thomas woke up early and left the house. Then, he rushed to Swan Restaurant at 166 Jewel Road.As soon as he pushed open the door, he heard the boss asking, “May I take your order?”“Uncle Ben, it’s me.”“Young Master?”This restaurant was opened by Ben. Since he left Shalom Technology, Ben did not have any skills. He was quite good at cooking, so he used his savings to open a small restaurant.The restaurant was just opened three days ago.Ben immediately arranged Thomas’ seat. Then, he prepared a few side dishes and a dozen beers.He poured a cup for Thomas.“Young Master, why are you so free to come to my place today?”Thomas glanced around. “Uncle Ben, your restaurant seems pretty decent.”“It’s just so-so. I just earn a living.”Thomas took a sip of the beer, put the cup down, and spoke seriously, “Uncle Ben, based on your ability, you’re wasting your talent to run a restaurant
Ms. Floral casually moved a chair over and sat down. She took out an account book, and she flipped it through while saying, “You haven’t paid for this month, right?”Ben showed a bright smile. “I just opened this restaurant not long ago. We also agreed that I will start to pay next month.”Ms. Floral frowned slightly. “Next month? Haha! You can open the restaurant next month. Close it now.”“Don’t! Ms. Floral, we can talk about it. Please don’t close my restaurant. Don’t you just want the protection fee? I’ll give you. How much do you want?”Ms. Floral flipped through the account book. “The protection fee is 6000 dollars per month. Your restaurant is newly opened this month, so I’ll give you a 20% discount. You can just give me 4,800 dollars.”“Ms. Flora, there are less than five days remaining this month. Isn’t this too much?”“Why? Are you bargaining with me?”“No, I dare not.”Ben immediately went to the counter, took the money, and passed it to Ms. Floral. He dared not say
Ben looked depressed. He was very clear about Ms. Floral’s character. How could he just sit here and enjoy the meal?But, he also could tell that Thomas was angry.“Young Master, don’t make trouble. You don’t know who Ms. Floral is, but you can’t offend her.”Thomas looked aloof, and he asked, “Is she the owner?”Ben shook his head.Thomas asked again, “Is she the official management staff?”Ben continued shaking his head.Thomas smiled. “Why do you give her money without any reason?”Ben sighed. “You don’t know that this region is under her management. For whoever doesn’t give money, the shop will be immediately demolished. It’s also useless to call the police. Police chase them away today, but more people will come and make a fuss two days later. So, I can only spend some money for protection. I can’t just get away from this kind of person.”This meant that Ms. Floral was actually a person who collected protection fees.Meanwhile, Ms. Floral saw that Ben did not go to take
Ms. Floral took her phone out and made a call. The call was answered in a few seconds. Then, she kept crying while shouting that she was bullied, and she wanted Ballard to find justice for her. She even wanted to demolish the restaurant.After Ms. Floral hung up, she ruthlessly said, “Just wait. Within three minutes, my man will come and kill you!”However, Thomas just continued drinking and eating. He did not feel terrified at all.Ben felt so worked up.He had been in Southland City for many years. He was very clear about who Ballard was. His restaurant would definitely be demolished today. Whether he could live safely or not was still a problem.“Young Master, you’ve caused big trouble.“How could you still have the appetite?“Please run now. You’re the only member of the Mayo family. Don’t lose your life here.”Thomas smiled faintly without answering.Indeed, within three minutes, a big group of bald men walked over pridefully. Everyone was wearing a singlet and holding a
