Chapter 5 The Boss Showed Up

Author: cici
At the headquarters of Wolf Group International of B City, all the executives were sitting in the conference room, keeping silent.

Last night, they received a notice from the CEO's Office at eight o'clock.

It said the CEO, who had never shown up before, was coming to the company today.

Undoubtedly, he was the most mysterious person in B City.

Three years ago, an unknown buyer bid for the most prosperous business block in the center of B City at the price of more than two billion dollars.

Later, it cost more than ten billion dollars to build the tallest building of B City, which was named Wolf Group.

Within just two years, Wolf Group was involved in many industries and profited well, such as hotel, catering, real estate, financial industry and film-television industry.

Wolf Group was the most profitable company in B City. However, no one knew who owned it.

This plutocrat had never been seen in public, and even no one knew his real name. The only thing people knew was that his first name was Anthony.

Now the boss was about to show up, and all the executives dared not to behave casually. Everyone was sitting properly and making guesses about him.

At ten o'clock, someone came closer to the conference room.

All the executives looked at the door tensely.

Marcus Field came first, who was the Executive President and the Chief Secretary of Wolf Group.

He entered the conference room and bowed, "Sir, please!"

And then William Howard walked in casually like a model.

William was tall and slender, and he had the air of a noble man with good-looking features. When people saw him clearly, they were all amazed.

No one had expected that the mysterious big boss turned out to be such an extraordinary youth.

For a moment, everyone was staring at William in shock. But he ignored their reactions and walked to the main seat in the conference room. He sat down and glanced the crowd.

His gaze showed the dignity as a superior. Having eye contact with him, the executives immediately withdrew their sights and stood up together to greet him, "Welcome, Mr. Howard!"

In fact, William was always rigorous and resolute in his work, so he talked concisely and finished the regular meeting in less than half an hour.

Marcus left with him and they entered the CEO's Office soon.

The office was decorated at William's will. And it had been vacant for a long time, waiting for its owner's arrival.

William looked around and sat down on the large chair with satisfaction.

Having been worked for William for a long time, Marcus could see that William was in a good mood at present, so he smiled with relief when standing at the other side of the desk.

"Mr. Howard, I think the fact that you are the real boss of Wolf Group will soon be known by others. I wonder how your families will react when they find out."

William smiled significantly, and what he said was totally beyond Marcus's expectation.

"They won't find out anytime. prepare an internal document and asked all the executives to keep secret."

"Are you still going to keep it a secret?" Before that Marcus thought William was to show up in public after returning home from abroad, not expecting that he decided to continue to keep it secret.

"My brothers will be go crazy and stressful if I show up in public. It's better for me to be an useless freeloader. After all, my dad is weak now, and I don't want him to worry about us." answered William.

Marcus knew very well about the Howard family, as he had been working for William for a long time.

The rich and powerful families were always friendly on the surface, but in private, they struggled for equity and property.

William had became a so-called freeloader because of his older brothers.

If his father had not been badly ill, William wouldn't come home so soon.

Now Master Howard was in poor health, and William was as filial as always. He had already endured his brothers for so many years, not minding the situation remaining for a bit longer. Then Marcus replied, "I see. Shall I keep handling the business affairs on behalf of you?"

"Yes, everything goes the same as before."

As they were talking, Marcus's phone rang. He looked surprise when he heard the person at the other end.

After hanging up the phone, Marcus looked at William seriously and began to report.

"The identity of the woman last night was figured out. She is Mrs. Howard's nephew, Mason Eich's girlfriend, and her name is Valeria Brown."

Hearing this, William felt a little astonished. He thought, "She is Mason's girlfriend? Well, interesting!"

  • That Stranger Lying Beside Me   Chapter 1748 The End

    On the day of Azalea's recovery, she was escorted out of the hospital by two police officers to wait for her sentence. She was wearing shackles and handcuffs as she walked through the parking lot. She saw Michael with Abbie, who was holding Emma in her arms. Michael was holding Abbie's waist, ready to get into their car. Seeing that Michael had recovered, Azalea was extremely perplexed. She had learned from the police that Leonard's man had tried to kill her to silence her and knew that Leonard was using her, so she did not regret her vicious behavior. Azalea stared at the child in Abbie's arms and Michael as she started to have vicious thoughts. If the one who got injured that day was Abbie, and if Abbie died, everything would be different now, wouldn't it? Michael would be living a life worse than death. His child would not have a mother anymore, and no one could have what she couldn't. She would be satisfied. However, all of this was just her imaginatio

    After Leonard's matter was settled, Richard returned to the Clark family. Abbie wasn't asleep yet and was sitting alone in the living room in a daze. Richard walked to her and sat down. Then, he reached out and patted her on the shoulder. "Why aren't you asleep yet?" "I can't sleep. Richard, he... he will be fine, won't he?" "Don't think too much. He will be fine." "I don't want anything to happen to him... Richard, I actually hate him very much and have never thought of being with him again. I have suffered enough! Every time I made up my mind to cut all ties with him, something bad would happen like what happened now. Richard, what should I do?" Richard understood Abbie's dilemma. "Abbie, do you still love him?" "I don't know! I hate him! I hate him so much!" "You can't let him go, can you? You and he broke up three times, but he has always been in your heart." Richard sighed. "To be honest, I don't want you and him to start over again. After

    It was late at night in Azalea's ward as she lay on the bed and fell asleep with her eyes closed. Three of Azalea's ribs were broken while one of her hands was handcuffed to the hospital bed. The policeman guarding her felt that there was no way she could escape, so he relaxed his guard. The man who was arranged by Leonard's assistant had been waiting for the right moment in the hospital. Then, they immediately entered the ward and attacked Azalea when they saw that the policeman had left. Just as they covered Azalea's mouth and were about to suffocate her to death, a soft voice could be heard by the door of the ward. "Hey! Are you trying to silence her?" The man turned his head and saw that Bobby were taking photos with his mobile phone while Silas was bent over in laughter. Later, Leonard was woken up at 2 a.m. in the morning when Richard and his bodyguards came to visit him furiously. Leonard had already guessed the purpose of Richard's visit as soon as

  • That Stranger Lying Beside Me   Chapter 1745 Despise Abbie

    It had been two days since Leonard's assistant brought Azalea back to the city and she was specially sent here today to attack Michael. Although Azalea hated Michael, she did love him immensely in the past and she didn't want to kill him. The one she hated the most was still Abbie. She had been overshadowed by Abbie since she was a child and she had never won against her before. It was all thanks to Abbie now that she ended up like this. Michael wouldn't deal with her if it weren't for Abbie, and she wouldn't have been driven to a dead end like this. She was going to die in the end anyway, so she wanted nothing more than to drag Abbie down with her. She knew that she couldn't get close to Abbie. Besides, she also knew very well that Leonard wanted to use her to kill Michael so that he could marry Abbie. Azalea acted as if she had been persuaded by Leonard's assistant to attack Michael, but in fact, her target was Abbie all along. She saw how desperat

  • That Stranger Lying Beside Me   Chapter 1744 Why Did I End Up Like This

    Azalea looked up when she heard the voice and met Leonard's assistant's gaze in the car. She stopped crying once he got out of the car. "Miss Clark, I've been looking for you everywhere!" Azalea lowered her head frantically when she saw him, but he said warmly, "Miss Clark, get in the car." She didn't know if Leonard's assistant knew about the murder she'd committed, so she hesitated for a moment before getting into the car. He then gave her a bottle of water and some food. Azalea was famished because she hadn't eaten anything for a few days, so she wolfed down her food desperately. Leonard's assistant had been observing Azalea all this time, and he said once she finished eating, "I know what you've done! The police are now looking for you everywhere." Azalea's expression was filled with panic. "Are you going to hand me over to the police?" "No, I'm here to help you." "How can you do that?" Azalea asked in frustration. "I won't be a

    It started to rain again early in the morning, which made the air in the mountains damp and cold. Meanwhile, Azalea lay motionlessly on the messy bed. She could hear the child's wailing from outside while Monthel's mother tried to coax the child. However, there was no sign of it ending even after some time. Monthel's mother started to become angry as well, so she scolded the child and eventually began to target Azalea again. "Why are you still lying in bed at this time? I've never seen someone as lazy as you. A wife should get up early in the morning to cook, but you are the only one who will laze around like this!" This was not the first time that Azalea had been scolded. Monthel's mother had begun to pick on her the second day after she arrived. Azalea would fight back initially, but she no longer dared to talk back after she was slapped in the face by Monthel. Monthel's mother cursed outside for a while. Then, she lifted the curtain and came into the ro
