"Holden, Kaylee, just take it!" The old man said."Thank you, but we really can't. Please, take it back," Kaylee took a deep breath before she said.In truth, the money was definitely incredibly tempting.In her mind, she really wanted it, that money was probably enough for two years of their household expenses.However, after struggling for a while, she still controlled her temptations.When Howard heard what Kaylee and Holden said, he looked at them with a glint of approval.When the neighbors saw that Holden and Kaylee were not going to accept the money, they no longer insisted on it. They thanked the couple again before leaving.After a moment, the family went back into the house."Howard, did you do this?" Yuffie asked when they entered the house, "How did you get to know someone so amazing?""No!" Howard shook his head and said, "The friend I know is just a regular employee at the real estate department.""Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? A regular employee can ge
"If you don't want to sell, then please stay here for now. Once the restructuring is going on, we'll find a place for you to stay temporarily. After we're done with it, you can move back.""You're going to be that nice to us?" Yuffie asked."It's only natural! Ms. Jenkins, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave for now!"The bald man put the bag on the ground and stood up before he left in a hurry.He did not want to stay there for an additional second. He was worried that he would say something wrong.The moment he walked out, he felt like his back was already drenched in cold sweat."They really gave thirty thousand to everyone?" After the bald man left, Kaylee opened the bag to take a look, and she looked incredibly happy.She was still feeling the pain from rejecting the money from the neighbors just now!Since they had thirty thousand as well, she felt much better.At the same time, she looked at Howard with a complicated expression.Even though she did not know if
"How did the man look like?" Terry took a puff of the cigar as he said coldly."H-he was too far away and there wasn't much time. That man's face was full of blood. All I know is that it's a man…"Hearing that, Terry narrowed his eyes. So they had missed someone out!"T-that's all I know. P-please let me go. I won't tell anyone…" The man spat out another mouthful of blood.Before he could finish speaking, Vonn stepped on his chest with a crack."Vonn, are you sure the person at the hotel that day isn't from the Ziegler family?" Terry looked at the man on the ground before he asked that."I'm certain!" Vonn nodded emphatically."I know every single person from that family. That person's definitely a stranger!""It looks like the remnant of the Ziegler family must have tied himself to someone!" Terry nodded slightly."Yes!" Vonn said, "Terry, this is actually very simple. I'll just have someone go capture Holden's daughter. We'll know after we question her!""Make sure no one fro
At that moment, Albert's phone rang. When he picked up, it was from his secretary."Don't you know I'm having a meeting?" After he answered the call, he said, "What is it?""Mr. Jenkins, someone from Mendorra Tower called. They want to sign the contract with our company, but they specifically mentioned they would only sign the contract with Ms. Jenkins," The secretary sounded a bit excited."Really?!" When he heard that, Albert almost jumped up in excitement."Yes, I just brought them to the main meeting room," The secretary said."Alright, tell them that she'll be right there!" Albert said happily."Dad, why are you so happy?" Kenneth asked with a smile after Albert hung up. It had been a long time since he saw Albert being so excited."Haha, it's a good thing. It's a brilliant thing!" Albert laughed before he looked at Tasha, "Tasha, you are our family's lucky star!""Grandpa, what happened?" Tasha said in surprise."Mendorra Tower's people are already at the company. They w
Five minutes had passed when Albert, guided by his secretary, entered the spacious conference room alongside Kenneth and Tasha. Their eyes swept across the room, landing on a line of four individuals seated with poise, a man in his forties at the center."Mr. Getson, it is a pleasure to meet you. These gentlemen are our esteemed chairman and general manager," the secretary introduced, gesturing toward Albert and his son. She then turned to Tasha. "And this is Ms. Jenkins, the one you've been eager to meet.""Mr. Getson, it's great to see you. I'm sorry to have you make the trip out here," Albert said warmly, extending his hand."Mr. Albert Jenkins, the pleasure is all mine. Your company is a valued partner of ours, it's the least we can do," Felix Getson replied with a friendly smile.He then rose to his feet, faced Tasha with a respectful bow, and said with genuine enthusiasm, "Ms. Jenkins, good to meet you. I'm Felix Getson, director of the Mendorra Tower's investment department.
"Mr. Getson, hold on, please. Have a glass of water. I'll get Talia here immediately!" Albert interjected quickly. Howard's words from yesterday echoed in his mind as he spoke. Could it really have been Howard's influence? However, that did not make sense. It was the Beech family who had lent a hand."I've got a meeting back at my company soon, so hurry up and get Ms. Talia Jenkins to come over!" Felix said icily before sitting back down. Felix would not dare just storm off, if he did, he might as well not bother returning to his own company."Okay, okay, I'm on it," Albert said, nodding before turning to Tasha. "What are you waiting for? Call her now!""I get it!" Tasha's face darkened, her expression sour. She had convinced herself that from today onward, she would be calling the shots at the company. However, in a matter of minutes, her bubble burst. The emotional whiplash was maddening.Then she got it—Mendorra Company's eager beeline to the Jenkins Group had nothing to do with
At Yuffie's exclamation, Holden and Kaylee snapped to attention and turned to Howard."I made a promise to Riley, and I always keep my promises!" Howard said, gently patting Riley's cheek. "Isn't that right, kiddo?""Yep!" Riley piped up confidently. "Dad always keeps his word, I trust him!""Howard, you seriously pulled it off?" Holden asked, his voice tinged with awe."If my hunch is right, Tasha's call was to get Talia to the office to ink the deal with the people from Mendorra Tower," Howard said with a knowing grin.The Holdens all let out a collective gasp of astonishment. The phone continued to ring insistently."Howard, shouldn't we let Talia answer it?" Holden suggested, glancing at Howard. "If they're really waiting for her to sign the contract, we shouldn't keep them hanging. What if they lose patience...""Don't worry, Mr. Holden Jenkins, they'll wait," Howard reassured with another smile, turning his gaze to Talia. "Talia, make it clear to her that you're open to si
Taking a long, calming drag of his cigarette, Kenneth broke the silence. "The Mendorra folks are still waiting. Should I send them away for now?""Get the car ready!" Albert snapped, his anger sending a vase crashing to join the teacup's fate."Dad, you're not seriously going?" Kenneth's surprise was evident."And what's your bright idea?" Albert snapped back. "We have to lock down that contract with Mendorra Tower. Once it's done, we'll deal with her.""And their demand for a bonus?" Kenneth probed further."We haven't signed anything yet. Forget the bonus!" Albert's voice was ice. "We'll talk about that after the ink dries.""Got it!" A spark of resolve lit up Kenneth's eyes. He got the message loud and clear. Once they had the contract, they would call the shots. As for the bonus, well, that would be their call too."Grandpa, should I try calling Mr. Beech again? Maybe he's got some news?" Tasha suggested after a brief pause."No need for more calls. I've already made some d
