“Good morning, everyone.” Eunice smiled as she entered the door. She walked toward the center chair and sat down after Christian pulled it out for her, for whom he remained standing. His aura exuded like that of a noble knight, safeguarding her safety. As soon as a young, stunning woman entered the room, the atmosphere erupted in joy. Nevertheless, a few individuals were taken aback, and one struggled to keep her composure. “You! How’d you become the boss of Meier Holdings? I don’t believe this!” Leah could not maintain her demeanor, pointing her index finger at Eunice. The latter pursed her lips, amused at how her dear cousin could not control her nasty temperament. ‘So unprofessional.’ Eunice rolled her eyes and asked Leah, “What’s the matter if I am the boss of a giant company? I was fit for this position, and the M&M executives think so, too.” Despite Eunice’s reasoning, Leah is still in disbelief. She does not accept that the boss she works for is Eunice. “It isn’t true! How

Miranda Dela Cruz Lim, CEO of DLC Enterprises, was livid upon reading her daughter's messages. Since she gave birth to Leah, she has been spoiled. Therefore, she will believe anything she tells her without investigating the matter. "That b*tch has a thick face! What did you do? I hope you give her a nice slap on the face." "That's what I did, mom. However, everyone is siding with Eunice!" Surprised by Leah’s reply, Miranda snapped. "What do you mean by that? Is she in the board meeting?" "Yes, Mom, and I felt humiliated because Jullian took her side as well! Instead of supporting me as his future wife, he even reprimanded me when I questioned Eunice’s qualifications for her position in the company. He is showing that he had faith in Eunice! What should I do, Mom? What if Jullian canceled our engagement and chose Eunice to marry instead? Mom, I'm going to jump on the bridge right now!" Leah’s proclamation startled Miranda when her daughter sent such a message. Without delay, she

Shangri-La Hotel Since the board meeting ended early and there was nothing to do in the office, Eunice returned to the hotel, not allowing Leah to approach or speak with her, knowing her tongue was full of venom. “There will be the perfect moment to deal with her.” She curled her lips, remembering the surprise on Leah’s face. She looked like she had swallowed a worm she was most afraid of. That’s right. Leah has scoleciphobia. “I bet Leah is already plotting against me. I know her very well, so I am certain.” Foreseeing the near episodes, Eunice leisurely sipped a glass of champagne while looking out the window, fixing her gaze at the building across the lake. Lopez Tower is the tallest skyscraper in this province. Many islands divide the region, and Claire City is the center island—the province’s heart. This island wasn’t that expansive, but the products produced here are excellent for trading worldwide. They were one of the few cities that exported their products all over the w

After receiving a terrifying look from his boss, Jay promptly fixed his misspoken words. “I mean... the records are not to leak out, sir.” Jay wanted to dig a hole to hide. Being in the same room as his boss had become agonizing, but he must endure until the task is finished. He walked to the corner, pulled out his phone from his coat pocket, and dialed a particular contact from Z City to relay the boss’s firm instructions. “Hello?” “Attorney Sanders, it’s me, Secretary Torres…” In the middle of a conversation, Jay shuddered from shock when a loud bang echoed throughout the room. Failing to suppress his anger, Christian slammed his palm into the table, and Edward Sanders, the person on the other end of the call, heard it too. He sighed helplessly and said, “I have predicted that it would be that man’s reaction once my investigation results reach him. The good thing is that we unnecessarily dwell in the past. We must be thankful for what happened five years ago. Now, we need no

Indeed, if the person who hacked her information were mediocre, then Jullian would not have her contact details.“What do you want, Mr. Lopez?”Eunice repeated her question, and Jullian detected the displeasing tone in her voice.'She's sharp. I must be extra careful to get close to her.' Nonetheless, he disregards that and pursues his true intention of contacting her.He conveyed, "Well, I wonder if your family has invited you to a banquet tonight."Eunice snapped, raising a brow, and retorted, “Whose family are you talking about, Mr. Lopez? Since the last time I checked, your future in-laws have been imprisoning the people who consider me family. Therefore, the family you spoke of is not related to me. If anything else important comes up, I’m hanging up now.”She's straightforward and doesn't want to beat around the bush. Thus, Jullian hurried to stop her."Hold on, Eunice! I'm not finished yet…""Tsk. But I'm done talking to you, Mr. Lopez." She cut him halfway, adding, "Please...
