Old Master Taylor’s expression darkened as well. He said, “Fane, do you think I’m joking with you?” “Fane, aren’t you a little too childish for doing this? How dare you not answer truthfully to a question from the old master!” “That’s right, where is your respect for the old master? Do you not remember that if it wasn’t for the old master lending you a million bucks back then, your mother would be dead by now!”A few of the members from the Taylor family began speaking to Fane angrily. “Old Master, I’m telling the truth. Sigh, if you don’t believe me then forget it!” Fane shrugged. He did not want to elaborate any further. If it was not for worrying that Selena might be bullied today, he would not have even came here. “Wait, who’s this girl?” Cecilia initially wanted to cause trouble for Selena but did not expect Fane to have achieved meritorious service. Her clothes might be real so Cecilia had no choice but to give up. Soon after that, she realized that a stranger’s
Selena frowned as she walked forward to question.“Yeah, is this a major event, father? You’ve prepared so much champagne too!”Andrew also had on a puzzled look. He truly could not understand why such a grand celebration was being held at noon!“There is indeed something worth celebrating for. Ivan is going to sign a huge business deal and it happens to be a huge one. Ivan mentioned that its net profit would be 300 million bucks! This amount is close to the profits we make in a year!”The old master smiled and said bluntly.“Yes indeed, our Ivan has finally done us proud for once. He’s been able to finalize such a major business deal!”Theodore nodded before raising his head slightly. He seemed slightly proud.“I’m not sure which family he made the deal with though?”Selena frowned and felt that this was quite unexpected as this unserious man was somehow able to do something so baffling?“With the Wilson’s. He’s already on his way to sign it. We’ve already come to an agreemen
“How can Micheal act like that? So he just changed his mind today without reason after coming into an agreement yesterday!”“Yes, how despicable indeed. He actually had the audacity to toy with such a major deal?”Everyone from the Taylor family was extremely furious and started putting all the blame on Micheal.Upon noticing that no one was pointing fingers at him, Ivan felt relieved in his heart.Fane, who was standing on the side, frowned. He somehow felt this whole ordeal was not as simple.It was not easy for Fiona to obtain such an opportunity, so it was only natural for her to take it. She immediately said, “Sigh, Young Master Ivan, our family has been waiting on your good news, you know. Here we thought you’d be able to bring in a business deal worth 300 million bucks to the Taylor family. We didn’t expect for it to all turn into nothing!”The moment she made that statement, Ivan’s face looked incredibly cold and bitter. He had originally gotten Fiona and everyone here to
Fane let out a subtle smile. The truth was that when he was about to get discharged, it was uncertain just how many people had secretly contacted him and offered him an astronomical amount of money. However, he had turned them all down.As such, it was impossible for Ivan’s offer of four thousand bucks to do his bidding to work as the amount was merely an insult to him.“Yes, yes, yes. You’re the boss, you’ve contributed something major for the country so they must have offered you a huge sum of money, right? Heheh, from the looks of things, we’re blind to worry about you!”Ivan spoke in a sinister tone.Fane ignored him and instead, shifted his focus on the champagne on the table. He then said, “Old Master Taylor, are we not celebrating anymore? If we don’t eat now, the food’s going to get cold!”The corner of Old Master Taylor’s mouth twitched violently as Fane did not hold any restraint as he spoke. He was saying things that he should not just to intentionally embarrass them ev
The first toast was to respect Fane’s contribution in defending the country. The second was a blessing to Fane and Selena. These reasons made Fane unable to refuse the drinks.Not to mention, the person was an elderly. If Fane refused his offer, he would obviously seem unreasonable.Hence, all Fane could do was smile and accept every toast given to him as they drank.The only thing was, Fane had not expected that even after three consecutive toasts, the man in front of him would not leave as another man came over with more alcohol.Fane could not help but frown as he was starting to find the entire ordeal weird.These people usually looked down on him and now they were all trying to drink with him? Hence, it seemed peculiar and it was obvious that they were trying to get him drunk.However, as much as they tried to scheme against him, he never took it to heart.The five years he spent in harrowing, war-torn conditions made his body extremely fit. Adding on to that fact that he h
Upon noticing that Fane had finally started to refuse a drink and was even shaking his head, Ivan felt delighted in his heart. Judging from the look of things, it seemed Fane might be reaching his limit. He immediately said, “It’s fine, it’s fine. Come on now, today is a happy day and we should all drink three shots!”“Fine then!”Fane pretended as if he was in a tough spot but still drank all of the alcohol slowly.At this moment, Fane had already drank more than ten glasses in a row as even the few elders and Ivan were feeling slightly tipsy.However, they all thought that Fane should be close to getting drunk by now.“Come on guys, we haven’t had a drink together in a very long time now, let’s all drink!”Ivan raised his glass and spoke to everyone present.He scoffed in his heart that under a situation where everyone was drinking, Fane would have no way to refuse and would be forced to drink.“Alright, let’s all drink. Let’s drink for our Taylor Group’s business to grow str
“I’m a stranger? Heheh, I’ll leave then!”Tanya was stunned for a moment before chuckling out loud as she turned around and was getting ready to leave.Old Master Taylor could recognize who she was at a glance and immediately gasped.This happened to be the daughter of the wealthiest man in the Middle Province. Her family’s power was terrifyingly immense. It was uncertain just how many people wished to grovel to their family. However, it seemed such opportunity was incredibly rare.They, as a third class aristocratic family, were even more desperate to butter up to them. The only thing was that there was never such opportunity to do so.They did not expect Tanya to actually show up in front of them. The only thing was that his own grandson looked like a mess to have actually said something like that without being afraid of offending that person.“Drake-Miss Tanya…”Old Master Taylor was quite nervous as he stuttered.“Ivan, what on Earth are you spouting? That happens to be Mis
What was even more unbelievable was that Miss Tanya was actually covering her tiny mouth in shock. She then said, “If you’re able to finish this entire bottle of red wine, that would prove the sincerity of your apology.”Old Master Taylor was also speechless for a moment. However, since Miss Tanya had spoken, if they did not do what she asked, it would be very disrespectful to her.If she held a grudge in her heart due to this, it would seem that their Taylor family would not even be able to dream about expanding in the Middle Province ever again.“What are you still dawdling there for, Ivan? Show your sincerity!”Upon noticing the bitter look on Ivan’s face, Old Master Taylor was put in a tough spot and immediately reminded him.“Alright, it wasn’t my intention to offend you earlier. I will chug this bottle dry as an apology!”Ivan grabbed a bottle of red wine and immediately poured it down his throat.When he was halfway through drinking it, he felt slightly uncomfortable. How
