After Peter took a pick of the men and left Hex Capital, he sat inside the car for a long time.Johann had earlier said that he was busy as of late. It was obviously some big move, and with his disinclination to reveal anything, it must surely be a big deal.Peter received the news that there have been many people from the gray areas who wanted to interfere with the west side project. Some even organized a band of workers with the intention to use the identity of a foreman to meddle with it. Johann however, had been silent on that issue.Peter initially thought that Johann was ambitionless and did not want to participate to avoid getting himself hurt, but it now seemed that Johann had other plans.Could it be...Peter was stunned. If Johann really dared to go against all the others and took control of Cloud City’s shady areas, then Johann would be a person worthy of his attention."Looks like I’ll have to establish a good relationship with Johann in the future. If he succeeds, his powe
Yara had been unhappy with Yvonne for a long time, so the materialization of an issue was the perfect opportunity to add insult to injury. She remarked, "Yvonne, you’re the project leader now. It has already been several days and you haven’t resolved it. Are you constantly just wasting time with your best friend in the office?"Linda visited Yvonne often during those few days. After knowing that the piano prince was Samuel, Linda gave up the idea of regarding Samuel as her husband, but the fact remained that she had been thinking about it for days on end and found it hard to let it go. Her only recourse was to go to Yvonne and complain.Upon hearing Yara's words, the old lady raised her eyebrows and asked, "What’s the meaning of this, Yvonne? You’re doing other things during working hours?"Yvonne was very responsible with her work and Linda was also sensible enough not to disturb her during working hours. Yara's words were blatant slander."Grandma, whenever I receive visits from frie
After hearing Harvey's words, the Sue family members looked at him with admiration."Harvey is still the most capable person. He found out who did it so quickly.""Sure enough, things are better with Harvey. Our future will be bleak if we don’t have him in the Sue family.""Yvonne, you’ve got to learn more from Harvey. The west side project has nothing to do with him, but he still cares about it. You have to thank him."The old lady nodded to express her affirmation and said, "Harvey, you’ve done a good job.""Grandma, although I’m not the person in charge of the project, I’m still your grandson. The Sue family's business is my business and there’s no way I can ignore it." Harvey pretended to be humble and said that to the old lady after receiving all that praise."Yvonne, since Harvey already helped you investigate, you can move forward with discussing it. If he asks for money, we can agree to it as long as it’s within one million," the old lady said.Yvonne replied, "Don't worry, Gra
Yvonne rolled her eyes. How was she supposed to be happy when others misunderstood her? She felt suffocated because of it."By the way, there’s a group of people causing lots of trouble to the Sue family recently and are even creating a lot of problems at the construction site. I asked a friend to investigate for me but there were no findings, yet Harvey suddenly pretended to be kind and give us his findings. During the meeting, he said that he found out who did it and I was told to have a discussion with them tomorrow. Do you think there’s something fishy about this?" Yvonne asked, and her instinct told her that there must be a problem with the situation. Harvey was right. Her attitude was fortunate not to harm her, how could it help her.Samuel frowned. He heard about it too and told Johann to find out more. Johann even arrested two people and tortured them for information, but to no avail. The other party obviously did a good job of keeping everything under wraps, so there was no wa
That night, Harvey and Gareth met.Gareth was beyond elated that Yvonne agreed to come forward in person and discuss matters with him.Three years ago, before Samuel entered the Sue family, there was an endless number of men who pursued Yvonne. Countless people wanted to get on intimate terms with her, which was the reason why the Sue family’s wedding caused a sensation in the entire Cloud City. On that day, many desperate men shouted and even more people cursed Samuel behind his back for being a hypergamic.It was impossible for Gareth not to be excited when he had a chance to flip Yvonne over in many positions when she had never even been touched by Samuel before."You did a good job. If you need anything done in the future, do come and look for me. I’ll definitely help you solve your problems," Gareth said.Harvey's eyes were sinister. What other trouble would he have if Yvonne was dealt with? No one in the entire Sue family could compete with him for the chairman’s position.His an
Harvey thought for a while. Yara regarded Yvonne as an enemy too, so she definitely would not tell anyone else if he told her about it."I'll tell you the truth. I know the person who’s causing trouble for the Sue family, and I’m the one who instructed him to do it," Harvey said.Yara looked at Harvey in surprise after hearing that. "It was your instruction! Grandma won’t let you off the hook if she finds out about this.""Why would Grandma know? I’m telling you this because I trust you. Besides, after today, Yvonne will be completely ruined. Grandma will kick her out of the Sue family without needing us to say anything," Harvey said. He finally had a place to vent his evil intentions. He killed two birds with one stone because once Yvonne was kicked out of the Sue family, he would naturally become the head of the west side project."What the hell is going on? Don’t be all mysterious. Just tell me," Yara said impatiently."Have you heard of Gareth before?""Gareth! Isn't he one of the
"Brother Gareth, they’re here."One of the subordinates ran up to Gareth in the dining hall.Gareth—who was deshelling some peanuts—lit up and clapped his hands. He said, "Little Miss Pretty is finally here. I have to meet her personally.""Brother Gareth, there’s also a man tagging along," the subordinate reminded."A man?" Gareth paused, then laughed and said, "It's not that wimp, right? That guy has brought shame to all men. If he dares to come, I’ll make him leave on his knees today."Samuel and Yvonne were taken to the dining hall. Gareth's lustful gaze shifted all over Yvonne’s body. She was a stunner indeed and he wondered what it would feel after getting her in bed.Looking at Samuel again, Gareth asked curiously, "This is ... ""My husband, Samuel," Yvonne said.As soon as that name was uttered, everyone—including Gareth—burst into laughter. It was a known fact that Samuel had a tremendous reputation and almost everyone in Cloud City knew about him."Tsk, tsk, tsk. You look pr
An icy smile formed at the corner of Samuel's mouth. He stretched out his hand gracefully and grasped the menacing fist.The fist came to an abrupt stop and the man was taken aback. He did not expect Samuel to grasp his fist so easily.Before he could come back to his senses and realize what had happened, Samuel delivered a sudden kick and sent the man back dozens of steps before finally falling onto the ground."This ... ""F*ck, this piece of trash has skills?""How is that possible? Isn’t he good-for-nothing?!"At that moment, there was a huge contrast between Samuel's strength and his reputation as a wimp. Gareth was forced to be more cautious and no longer dared to underestimate Samuel.Yvonne’s mouth was wide agape and she was shocked too. She had only seen Samuel being bullied, and submitted meekly to all those insults, but she had never seen Samuel with such a strong side before."Samuel, you do know that this is my turf, right? Anyone who hurts me doesn’t even need to think ab
