Drake immediately understood Tyr’s meaning. Both Travis Jensen and Iris Zea must have offended Tyr. Drake dared not disobey, so he quickly agreed to Tyr’s instruction. Tyr continued to say, “One other thing, you’ve seen a picture of my wife, Winifred Zea. Give her the contract for Zea Group’s investment eligibility and let her sign it.” “Understood, Brother Tyr.” After breakfast, Tyr accompanied Winifred to the merchant investment event. On the way there, Winifred felt so nervous like she was about to go for an important exam. “Don’t be nervous, Winifred. You’ll definitely get that investment eligibility.” “Really?” “Yeah. Trust me.” The merchant investment event was held in one of the high-end office buildings that belonged to Drake. By the time Tyr and Winifred were there, the place was already packed. The outdoor parking lot was filled with various types of luxurious cars, and the people who came out from those cars were all business owners with an individual net worth
Inside the office, when Drake first laid eyes on Iris, he disliked her lascivious personality. It was no wonder Tyr disliked her! “Please take a seat,” said Drake out of habit indifferently. Iris quickly sat down opposite of Drake. The moment she did, Iris started to impatiently introduce herself, “Hello, Uncle Tucker, my name is Iris Zea. The young master, Travis Jensen of Century Herb Pharmaceuticals is my…” However, before Iris could finish introducing herself, she was interrupted by Drake. “We’re very tight on schedule today, so you can cut the small talk. Many people are waiting outside.” Iris was initially stunned before she nodded. “Alright, Mr. Tucker.”After that, Iris stared at Drake in anticipation as she waited for him to hand her the investment eligibility contract to sign. However, Drake did not do as she wished. Instead, he looked back at Iris and asked, ”Miss Zea, where are the things you’ve prepared?” “Things? What things?” Iris was confused. “Mr. Tucker,
Winifred was dumbstruck. She even felt like this was all a dream. She had easily secured this investment eligibility that the Zea family had said to be harder than getting into heaven. Winifred forgot how she left the office building. Outside, Tyr was standing there looking at her with a smile on his face. It was like he already knew she would succeed. “Tyr, I got the investment eligibility contract.” Winifred waved excitedly at Tyr, and the latter went straight over to give her a hug. “I knew you would succeed.” “But, I feel that it was too easy. Like something’s wrong.” “There’s nothing wrong with it. Those who put in the effort will be rewarded. This isn’t a difficult task to begin with.” At the same time, inside the Zea Group’s higher management conference room. The group of higher-level management officers was all called to assemble here by Jorge. Even Travis and Iris were present. Jorge had called this urgent meeting because the plan to invest in the city center had
Winifred was completely dumbstruck. So none of you had seen just how hard I’ve worked on this all this time? Even if I really did secure that contract with my abilities, you all would still think that I just rode on Iris’s coattails? Winifred felt so aggrieved like a knife was carving at her heart. Tyr, too, was burning with fury. He watched on coldly and resented that he could not just slap each and everyone one of the idiots here. Since you guys want to play it that way. Alright, I, Tyr Summers, will give each one of you b*stards a tight slap across the face! “Grandpa, Winifred is truly the person who won this contract, but you’re planning to give this credit to Iris instead? What if Drake Tucker had admired Winifred’s talents and given her the contract for that reason?” “Talent? Do you mean talent in nabbing a person?” Iris mocked. She brought up the incident of how Winifred and Tyr, the beggar, had gotten involved six years ago. Tyr’s expression turned cold as he glared at
Winifred was surprised. Tyr, instead, was enjoying himself as he looked at the humiliated faces of each management officer. Drake Tucker, well done! Jorge immediately got anxious and said, “Mr. Tucker, Winifred is the pillar of the Zea Group’s pillar, how could we not be fond of her? Just now, we were discussing promoting Winifred to be the design department manager and give her a raise, right, everyone?” “Right, right, right…” The management officers around nodded continuously. “I now announce that Winifred is officially the manager of the Zea Group’s design department.” However, Drake was nonchalant. He looked at Winifred and said, “Miss Winifred, even if you become the design department’s manager here, it would just be a waste of your talent. If you’re willing to come and work for the Tucker Group, I can immediately give you a higher position and increase your salary by tenfold.” Buzz… A buzzing noise exploded inside the minds of Jorge and his group. They were not afraid
When he saw Winifred hesitate, Tyr started to feel anxious. “What’s wrong, Winifred? Don’t you want to?” “It’s not that.” Winifred shook her head immediately. “It’s just…” “Just what?” “It’s just too sudden.” Tyr was quiet for a moment before he held Winifred’s hand. He took out a diamond ring that he had already prepared a few years ago and slid it into her finger. “This day is already six years late. So, it’s not sudden at all. Don’t worry, Winifred. I will protect you and Blair for the rest of my life. The wedding ceremony next Thursday will be a grand event. I will make everyone in the city give us their blessings.” Winifred smiled with a hint of bitterness. She knew that Tyr was just comforting her. In truth, her wedding ceremony with Tyr would just be a simple one, and not many people would show up to give their blessings. However, the fact that the man she would marry was the man she had waited for six years was already enough for her. Winifred finally agreed to Tyr’
Previously, Drake had mentioned that the tycoon was furious about the Zea family bribing them with gifts. Over the past few days, the whole Zea family was feeling on edge because of this. They were afraid that minor mistakes would trigger the tycoon to revoke their investment eligibility in the city center. At the same time, they were racking their brains trying to regain their favorability with the tycoon, but they never found a chance. Jorge, too, became enthusiastic as he said, “Jackson is right. Our Zea family has to attend the tycoon’s wedding next week. We have to take this opportunity to regain our favorability with the tycoon.” The Zea family members nodded in agreement. However, problems continued to arise. The Zea family had no means of getting an invitation to the tycoon’s wedding. Their plans sounded great, but the reality was cruel. “Travis, can the Jensen family try to pull some strings and get the Zea family an invitation?” Jorge could not help but look toward Trav
Tyr never said another word after that and turned to chase after Winifred. The chance was right in front of you, but none of you treasured it. You can’t blame anyone else for this. The whole Zea family started mumbling. “Regret? Why should we regret it? Who do you think you are, Tyr Summers? You’re just a beggar.” “And who does Winifred think she is? The shame of the Zea family!” “When none of the Zea family members shows up at their wedding, who will be regretting then?” “Tyr Summers, do you think you’re that young tycoon who has bought the city center?” Tyr ran up to Winifred. When he saw how sad Winifred looked, his fists clenched reflexively. “Winifred, are you okay?” “I’m okay.” Winifred wiped her tears and forced a smile at Tyr. “Winifred, if they won’t attend our wedding, it’s their loss. They will definitely regret it. By then, even if they kneel in front of the hotel and beg us, we won’t let them in. What’s more, on our wedding day, I will make you the happiest
