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
“No way, is he mad? Isn’t he threatening Miss Tanya right now?”“Yeah, if that isn’t a threat then what is? If his wife isn’t assigned a job, he won’t work as their bodyguard? What a joke, it was as if she’s begging him to be their bodyguard!”“Oh my god, this is too foolish. Miss Tanya was taking the fact he had contributed to the country into account and looking out for him. Because of this, she wanted him to work as the Drake family’s bodyguard. It’s unknown just how many people desperately want to work under that position and yet, he has the audacity to spout such nonsense!”“Heheh, the main point is that Miss Tanya even offered for him to name his own price. This alone shows just how much respect he’s being given!”All the Taylor family relatives gasped after hearing what Fane said and silently began discussing among themselves.“Good lord, what if that brat offended Miss Tanya and the Drake family? If that happens, would they pin the blame on our Taylor family as well since
Fiona was extremely ecstatic since such a high wage was something she completely had never expected. Would that mean, after a few months, they would be able to afford a mansion?“This… Isn’t this a little too high?”Selena was also quite emotional as she was stunned for a moment.Back then, after she was exiled from the Taylor family, she ran into continuous stumbles as she had a very difficult time finding a job. Even when she wanted to look for an agent to search for jobs, not a single person dared to take her in.Now, however, Miss Taylor actually tossed her a lifeline.The main point was, would Ivan even dare to stir up trouble with the Drake family after Miss Tanya immediately offered her a job? It was obvious that would be very unlikely to happen.Fane frowned as he secretly muttered in his heart that the Drake family was actually quite talented in snooping. Since they were most likely trying to butter up to him because they offered Selena such a good job.Although Fane di
“Thank you Miss Taylor for your praises. This toast is my respect to you!”Selena was slightly anxious in her heart. A monthly wage of a million bucks, such a job would be extremely hard to find. It seemed not even the monthly wage of a general manager would come close to that.“Hehe, you’re too kind! To a happy collaboration then!”Tanya did not act pridefully as she walked over and poured herself some red wine then gently bumped her wine glass with Selena’s before drinking.“Fane, now that your wife had agreed to come work with us, you can’t go back on your words now, name your price?”Tanya was beaming as she was praying in her heart if her father knew she had hired Fane as their bodyguard, it would be uncertain just how happy he would be.Everyone’s faces were sweating. Since not only was Miss Tanya not infuriated after hearing Fane’s outrageous statement, she seemed very keen on having Fane be a part of their Drake family and making him a bodyguard.Fane let out a bitter la
Although the three other bodyguards did not speak a word, their expressions dimmed. Was this not an insult to them?“What on Earth are you talking about?”Selena was also extremely startled by it. Miss Tanya was being very nice but time and time again Fane was blatantly testing her limits.A monthly wage of twenty million bucks on top of leaving the Drake family whenever he wanted? How would that be possible? If the Drake family master had learned about it, he would immediately be driven insane by Fane’s madness.“Fane, are you mad from all that thinking about money? Didn’t you want a much lesser wage? So it seems, your much lesser wage is twenty million bucks per month! This is the first time I have ever seen a bodyguard’s wage this high!”Cecelia was saying that with a sinister tone. This time, was this br*t not intentionally offending Miss Tanya now?It would be absurd for Miss Tanya to not be furious this time. It was obvious now that Miss Tanya’s bodyguards were all furiou
