Semua Bab Oops, I've Been Exposed: Bab 51 - Bab 60

In her seat, Pamela was panicking. She couldn't understand what had gone wrong, and why her efforts were in vain.Just then, Miriam's phone rang. "It's a call from my cousin. I can ask her about the reason," Miriam said, pointing at her phone.Pamela nodded, a nervous look appearing on her face."Hello… What did you just say? The Legal Department is drafting a contract, and York Corporation will be their gold-tier partner?"When Pamela heard that, she immediately looked joyful."Wait, you just said that we were disqualified. Why did they change their mind so soon? Quit pulling my leg! I can't handle something like this!"But Kurt remained in disbelief. His dad said that there was no chance, so it had to be true. There couldn't have been any changes. He was convinced that the caller was joking with Miriam.The Cartwrights always kept their word. They would never change anything after it was confirmed.Before Miriam ended the call, Pamela asked eagerly, "So what's the situation l

Without trust, no matter how many times Woody explained himself, it would be for naught. "Suit yourself then. I just hope you don't regret it." Woody had a dark expression on his face as he strode away.Pamela was furious, and she lost her sense of reason as she shouted at him, "The thing I regret the most is choosing you all those years ago!"Kurt pretended to be a peacemaker as he said, "Pamela, calm down. It's not worth getting angry over people like him. He probably felt indignant about the divorce, and when he saw you with someone as outstanding as me, he just felt jealous. It's a normal reaction, so I can understand why he's like that."Miriam took the opportunity to curry favor with him. "See that, Ms. York? This is how huge the difference in people can be. You wouldn't know until you've seen enough of them!"You're just too kind and value relationships too much. You feared that it might affect him in jail, so you dragged the divorce out for four years. Now, reality has prov

"We should have known better. I'm so sorry for not recognizing you earlier and offending you, Mr. Ryan."My dad is Timothy Donnel from Donnel Corporations, and my name is Kurt."We had a meal together two years ago, remember? We were at… Stone Hearth Restaurant, yes. My dad brought me along, and we toasted your father and you. Do you remember?"That incident just now was a misunderstanding. Mr. Ryan, please let it go for my father's sake!"All the arrogance was gone from Kurt. He bowed deeply and even spoke in an extremely respectful tone. So much so that the others thought that he would be kneeling anytime soon.Miriam was shocked as well. Based on her impression of him, Kurt had always behaved haughtily and had never been so humble before.She almost thought that the man in front of her was an impostor."Who's Mr. Ryan? I've never heard of that man before. Besides, we have the Cartwrights backing us, right? "Mr. Donnel, why are you so afraid of him?" Miriam couldn't help bu

A group of burly and fierce-looking guys then dashed over to Woody. Kurt and Miriam were shocked. They thought that Ryan only had a few bodyguards with him. But now, by the looks of it, there seemed to be more to it than met the eye.Ryan had come here to cause trouble, after all. So, he couldn't possibly just bring a few men with him. He was arrogant, but he wasn't a fool!Even Pamela was shocked, and she couldn't help but worry about Woody's actions. Not to mention, she was also worried about the fate that awaited her."Damn it, we underestimated him!"Clement's expression tensed as he hastily rallied his men to rush forward and save Woody."Hurry!" Helen was startled as well.The men were dozens of yards away from Woody. So, even if they rushed over right away, Woody might still suffer a few hits that could put him in mortal danger.After all, the people who followed Ryan were all vicious outlaws, and there were dozens of them. Even if each one of them landed only one a

Pamela's expression shifted yet again. She only wanted to give Woody a reminder because she thought that she was safe from Ryan. But who would've thought that Ryan still didn't want to let her go."Do you hear him? Mr. Ryan wants you to kneel before him!" Kurt crowed.Compared to what might happen to Pamela, Kurt was more curious about what Woody's choice would be and the consequences that would follow.Would Woody kneel? If he did, he'd lose all his dignity. What's more, there were so many people present here, including Helen, and Woody would never be able to revive his reputation again if he did.But if he didn't kneel, he'd antagonize Ryan for sure. And knowing how cruel the Jett family could be, Woody would only be digging his own grave.But Kurt was happy in his own twisted way. To him, he thought that Woody shouldn't have disrespected him in the first place, especially not when he could easily end Woody's life with a mere word! Suddenly, a loud clapping sound rang out.
