Chapter 490

作者: Only For You
Michael waved dismissively and said, "That was your personal matter. Of course, I couldn't help!"

Lauren spat out a laugh and sneered. "Michael, don't you realize how stupid you sound right now? One of our own employees was being harassed by the Weller family, and you have the nerve to say such nonsense! Are you even fit to be CEO?"

Michael's face darkened as he replied, "If I'm not fit to be CEO, you think you are? If you were so qualified, why am I sitting in this chair instead of you?"

Lauren took a deep breath and retorted contemptuously, "We both know how you got this position. If the family hadn't interfered, you'd still be nothing but a lackey under me."

Michael sneered. "You're right, I'll admit that. But what does it matter? You'll soon be married off from the Rhodes family. Lauren, no matter how capable, beautiful, or how many followers you have, there's still no place for you in the Rhodes family. Your only path is to be a sacrifice!"

His venomous words struck Laur

  • Rising from the Ashes   Chapter 2518

    Mikayla smiled politely. "Mr. Robertson Senior, you're too kind. I'm the older one here, of course, I wouldn't hold a grudge against her." But inside, she was cursing nonstop. She had initially planned to work through Isabelle to see if she could sway the Robertson family's position. However, Isabelle had turned out to be so ruthless that she would not even acknowledge her anymore. So much for that! This meeting was officially a failure. However, Mikayla was unwilling to accept this. In the past, Isabelle would have stood by her without question, no matter what. But now, that loyalty was gone. It was all because of that bastard that today's situation had slipped further and further out of her control. After a few more minutes of awkward small talk, Theon could not stand it anymore. His expression hardened as he said, "In that case, Mr. Robertson Senior, we'll take our leave." Saul did not bother trying to keep them and smiled. "I won't see you out, Mr. Orben." Theon sto

    In the end, it was Saul who spoke up and stopped Emir from continuing. "Emir, that's enough." Mikayla's eyes flickered as she noticed Isabelle secretly giving Emir a thumbs-up. Emir, despite his aloof and proud demeanor, widened his eyes slightly in response to Isabelle. 'Emir is really annoying… He's just like Andrew!' The thought came out of nowhere and made her chest tighten in frustration. To her, Emir and Andrew were exactly the same, both sharp-tongued, clever in all the wrong ways, and always taking advantage whenever they could. Mikayla really wished she already had martial emperor strength. That way, she could use her strength to beat the crap out of both those insufferable men. "Mr. Orben, please don't take offense at what my son said," Saul said with a faint smile. "But the truth is, his opinion represents the Robertson family's stance." He did not bother sugarcoating it and added, "To be frank, a collaboration with Sovereign's Apothecary probably won't happen

    Theon's expression darkened. He slammed his hand on the table, about to curse at Emir for being a little bastard. Fortunately, Mikayla stopped him at the last second. With a gentle smile, she turned toward Emir and bowed slightly. "Emir, hello. I was wondering if we could talk for a moment." Emir said indifferently, "Go ahead." Mikayla was delighted, believing her connection with the Robertson family was paying off. If even someone as proud as Emir was willing to listen, she had a chance. She began carefully, "Here's the thing, Emir. Although I am currently with Sovereign's Apothecary, I still believe the Robertson family's proposal is negotiable. Sovereign's Apothecary isn't so rigid that nothing can be changed." Emir raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Tell me more. How would we negotiate?" Mikayla glanced at Theon and said through gritted teeth, "How about this, Emir? Sovereign's Apothecary will continue with last year's pricing for our agreement with the Robertson family. But the

    Emir said, "I heard that the leader of the Divine Alchemists, Mr. Julius Bowen, spends all his time obsessed with martial arts instead of studying the alchemy traditions passed down by the sect's founder. When the leader goes astray, the whole line falters. From the looks of it, Sovereign's Apothecary seems to be heading downhill, too." He continued, "Meanwhile, my family is at a point where we're ready to soar. Sovereign's Apothecary's elixirs' quality and inflated prices can't keep up with our family's needs. So frankly, we'd rather not do this business at all." His words were sharp and confrontational. Theon suppressed his rising anger and glared coldly at Emir. The latter stared right back at Theon, refusing to back down. Emir had a refined, almost feminine look, but he did not seem weak. His eyes were dark and unreadable, giving off a quiet sense of danger. Among the Robertson family's three prodigies, Emir ranked second. His martial skills and intelligence far surpassed

    Isabelle whispered, "I'm home. Andrew, now's not a good time. We're expecting important guests at my place today, and my dad has called all of us younger family members together to receive them." Andrew replied, "Oh? Well, I'm planning to come to your house right now. Is that going to be a problem?" Isabelle was shocked. "What? Andrew, you're coming to my house? W-Why would you come here? My father and my two brothers don't exactly welcome you. If you come, it could be dangerous." Andrew laughed. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. That's all. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. I'll see you in a bit." With that, Andrew hung up the phone and drove toward the Robertson residence. … Meanwhile, Theon and Mikayla, along with other members of Sovereign's Apothecary, had already arrived at the Robertson residence. "Mr. Robertson Senior, sorry to intrude on such short notice," Theon said politely. The man before him was one of Chetvine's power players, Saul, the head of the

    "Andrew's out! Look, it's him!" From the side of the road, Theon and Mikayla, who had been waiting in the car, leaned toward the window and waved for the others to look. They watched as Andrew walked out of the Iron Sword Sect's main gate with Augustin beside him, both laughing and chatting like old friends. At one point, Andrew even patted Augustin's shoulder. Instead of getting annoyed, Augustin smiled back and nodded along, looking completely agreeable. "Mr. Orben, does this mean the Iron Sword Sect isn't going to hold Andrew accountable for his trick?" Mikayla was confused and turned to ask Theon, who was sitting in the back seat. Theon did not respond, his expression frighteningly grim. "Mr. Orben!" Mikayla turned around and called out again. Theon suddenly exploded. "Stop staring and drive! We're going to meet with the Robertson family. Damn it, what the hell was the Iron Sword Sect thinking? Looks like they bought into that punk's lies." Mikayla was dumbfounded. Sh
