"That position… was removed?!"Kenny's heart thumped loudly at those words, and he promptly pressed, "Please, chief! We're talking about an entire ministry handling the entire province's cultural development! Yet you're saying a position just went poof?!"The man on the other side sighed. "Actually, it's precisely because it's so big that it needs to be streamlined. There's nothing I can do about that."Clearly reluctant to discuss the issue further, he then added. "I'm really sorry about this, but there's no need to rush, really. Just stay in the Calligraphy and Painting Association for a while, and I'll tell you right away should new opportunities arise."Kenny was naturally shrewd enough to read between the lines, and though despondent, he still replied politely, "Yes, sir. Thank you for telling me this—and do keep me in the loop if there are any developments.""Not a problem," the man on the other side agreed right away. "Oh, I have to hang up now. Let's catch up again sometim

Kenny absolutely did not expect his move to trick Jacob.He was at first sincere about keeping Jacob in the Calligraphy and Painting Association, but because his wife Ivy advised against it, he decided that it was not worthwhile protecting Jacob.Hence, he used the resignation email he asked Jacob to write and approved it like it were the real deal, thus expelling him from the Calligraphy and Painting Association altogether.He expected no consequences aside from Jacob's discontent, since what did he have to worry about when Don Albert was clearly not concerned about what happened to him?What he did not expect was for Don Albert to suddenly change drastically in attitude, demanding an explanation as to why Kenny had approved the resignation.Caught out cold and absolutely nervous, Kenny quickly argued, "It's not what you think, sir! I was just under a lot of pressure—I mean, you know how terrible the backlash against Zachary and Jacob's fraud case was! Countless eyes were on me a

Ivy asked before she knew it, "What's that supposed to mean? What did I do?"Worried that others outside might overhear, Kenny growled furiously under his breath, "It's all your fault for telling me to throw Jacob Wilson to the dogs! But the thing is, he's buddies with Don Albert again! And Don Albert himself called me just now!""For what?" Ivy asked, perplexed. "I mean, didn't you tell him that it was Jacob who embarrassed himself? Why would he call you instead?"Kenny snapped angrily. "He's demanding I answer for Jacob's dismissal! Why else would he call about that?""Oh…" Ivy was silent for a while, but she soon assured Kenny, "Just hear me out for a moment, dear—let's ignore what Don Albert said. I mean, he can complain all he wants, but he can't do anything. Your promotion is coming up soon, too, right?""Once you report in to the new unit, the Calligraphy and Painting Association is just a subordinate unit. That means the mess with Jacob isn't any of your business, and if p

While Kenny was enthusiastically preparing for the night's dinner function, Charlie brought Elaine and Jacob to a restaurant near Thompson first. Claire was working overtime, and it would be very late if they waited for her to start cooking.As soon as they sat down, Jacob was sighing and muttering, "I really don't want to leave the house anymore… The trip to Dubai almost killed me.""That's because you wore yourself out over nothing," Elaine retorted. "Losing twenty million for spare change? It still hurts me just thinking about it.""Urgh, don't even start. Let me live another couple of years," Jacob groaned, waving her off. Then, he straightened up and turned toward Charlie, "By the way, do you think Don Albert can really get me back in the Calligraphy and Painting Association?"Charlie smiled. "It wouldn't be that difficult for him." Jacob nodded. "I'm satisfied if I could just return. If I can't, what am I going to do? What a bother…"Charlie ignored him and ordered some

Kenny, Ivy, and the other vice-presidents were all relieved that Tim was willing to concede his position, because to them, they had been worried that Kenny would make them give up their positions instead.While they were sick of Jacob, none of them were keen on making an enemy of him when he had Don Albert's backing.In fact, none of them would dare to refuse to give up their positions even if they were chosen.Still, Kenny couldn't resist giving Ivy a thumbs-up under the table, seeing that the issue was resolved for the time being.Even he had to admit that his wife's plan was perfectly precise. With Tim's approval, they could reshuffle their respective positions to accommodate Jacob when he returned tomorrow.She even spoke up just then, "Let's drink in Tim's honor! It's all thanks to him that we've resolved this!""Yes, exactly!" Kenny exclaimed, quickly getting to his feet and holding up his glass as he told everyone, "Come, let's all drink in Tim's honor and thank him for hi
