Chapter 971

Before his finger could tap on the button to end the call, Edward heard Bennett's faint, labored voice on the other end of the landline. "You… You cheated too, remember? And you… climbed up the ladder with your mistress' help…"Edward's expression hardened, but he didn't lose his cool. Instead, he argued, "Yeah, I cheated. What can I say? It runs in the family. "However, can you climb the ladder with your mistress' help? Forget claiming the heir's position, you can't even set foot in headquarters! "I cheated my way to the top. That proves how capable I am. You, on the other hand, will be a waste of space for the rest of your life!" With that, he hung up on Bennett without the slightest hesitation.…Bennett was rendered speechless by Edward's brazenness. With what little strength he had left, he called his secretary for help.The moment his phone hit the floor, he convulsed from a heart attack. There was no doubt that Edward's last words had struck a nerve.Both of them had

Chapter 972

Adrian's transfer to Everbright Corporation was met with open arms. He was warmly welcomed and well treated.Yet, he couldn't feel even a spark of joy. He was still simmering with anger, just waiting for the right moment to strike back.Sooner or later, he would return to headquarters. He refused to believe that this was the end for him.The only reason he was so certain was that three whole days had already passed, yet the Hales had yet to make a move. They didn't lay a hand on him or his men. All they did was silence the reporters and trolls online.He thought that the entire situation was very strange. He couldn't wrap his mind around it. He was sure that Elias had discovered his actions. So, why wasn't he helping Edward take him down? If Elias stepped in, Adrian wouldn't even have the chance to lie low and bide his time.In the end, he couldn't take it any longer. He sought Mitch out under the pretense of apologizing. Mitch didn't spell it out, but he implied that Elias ha

Chapter 973

News of the collaboration spread through the business industry almost instantly after Brightech Studios signed the contract. Lyrex Global drew attention wherever it went, and Elias even more so.He had returned to the country to build a major logistics hub, yet everyone wanted a chance to talk business with him in the hopes of getting his support for their own projects. Yet somehow, he had decided to work with a company that had only been established for a little over two years. Not only were the leading companies envious, but even the smaller companies at the bottom of the chain were green with jealousy and couldn't make sense of it. In terms of experience and strength, there were countless firms more qualified than Brightech Studios. So, why did Elias pick them?Naturally, everyone started digging for details. Soon, the truth came to light; this partnership was basically a one-sided investment. Brightech Studios was to provide only a portion of the technical support, while Lyrex

Chapter 974

"Of course, we don't need you to personally show up, Mr. Hart! Their representative said he wanted to meet you," Charlie explained.He worried that Sean might be annoyed, since someone at his level usually didn't have the privilege of meeting him. He hurriedly added, "The representative is Adrian Fowler. He's the newly appointed marketing manager at Everbright Corporation. He's also Mr. Fowler Senior's grandson and Mr. Fowler's younger brother."Sean looked up, arching his brow. "And what does he want with me?""He didn't say. He only asked me to inform you that he'd like to meet you," Charlie answered.Sean scoffed. Since Adrian didn't state his purpose, Sean figured that it had to be a personal matter.Fowler Group's internal power struggle was the hottest gossip in the business world. It was no secret that the two brothers were competing for the CEO's spot. In the end, Edward won and kicked Adrian out of the headquarters.Edward had even fired the head of the marketing departm

Chapter 975

In a ward at Eastlake General Hospital, Macie looked at the four or five messages Sean had sent in a row and assumed that Alice had already filled him in.She replied to each one, and when Sean read her responses, he wasn't surprised by any of the information. He thought that it was a good thing that Macie was returning to the Hale family, as no one would dare pick on her anymore, and Edward wouldn't be able to bother her again.He texted her back, but she didn't reply after that. So, he switched his phone's view over to Alice's chat and asked her to attend a business reception with him that evening.…Everbright Corporation had just wrapped up its meeting with Hart Group. However, instead of immediately agreeing to the terms, the representatives from Hart Group said they would discuss it internally and get back to them.When Sean refused to meet him, Adrian sat in the back seat of his car, his lips pressed together. He already had a feeling how this meeting would end.Hart Group

Chapter 976

Adrian pressed his lips together, sinking into thought.Bennett didn't think much of it. He only brought it up because he knew that it was impossible to visit the heiress of the Hale family at the hospital."There's a business reception tonight at The Marblecourt. I managed to get you an invitation," Bennett added. "Dress well and go. See if you can hit it off with the heiresses of the leading families. If you can, that will be a huge advantage for you!"Edward had secured his position by relying on a woman, and now that he had the Hale family's support, all the old foxes on the board had taken his side. It was infuriating, but he had to come to terms with how the world worked. Edward had the Hales behind him, and that changed everything.Edward had mocked Bennett that day, claiming that they had both cheated, yet somehow only he managed to benefit from it. Looking back on it now, it still made his blood pressure spike. Even though the leading families in Williamford couldn't compa

Chapter 977

Inside a ward at Eastlake General Hospital, Alice sneezed twice. Macie looked at her and asked with concern, "Did you catch a cold?""I don't think so," Alice responded. "It's probably just my mom nagging about me. There's a business reception tonight, and I'd rather not attend. I ignored her messages, so she had my brother pass the word to me."She sighed. She was tired of these events. Every time, she would feel like a soulless machine being dragged from one social obligation to another."Mrs. Hart still wants to set you up with someone?" Macie inquired.Alice nodded and started counting on her fingers. "In the upcoming week, I'm supposed to meet Mr. Wheeler's son from Goldmark Real Estate on Monday, Mr. Reid's son from Ironbound Group on Wednesday, and Mr. Norris' son from a machinery company on Saturday."There were so many names that she could barely remember them. Macie looked at her and sighed inwardly."If you don't genuinely like someone, I doubt you'd even want to date

Chapter 978

While dropping off some documents in the CEO's office at Fowler Group, Nathan brought up the business reception that night. He also briefly explained the scale of the event and the type of guests that would be attending."The Hart family will be there too. Are you planning to go, Mr. Fowler?" Nathan inquired. Edward stopped writing, pressed his lips together, and after two seconds of silence, he said, "I'll go."Fowler Group had just undergone an internal power struggle. Although Adrian never stood a chance at the CEO position, the board was still disappointed with Edward's actions. Moreover, his marriage alliance with the Hale family was a sham that would eventually be exposed, so he needed to secure as many partners as possible during this time."Alright. I'll prepare your bespoke suit for tonight," Nathan said. "But what about the injury on your chest? If you're wearing formal attire, you probably won't be able to wear the brace."Edward had been wearing oversized shirts and s

Chapter 979

Nathan didn't notice the shift in Edward's expression. He continued to discuss the rumor that everyone in the industry was circulating. "Since Mr. Hale suddenly invested in Brightech Studios and no one knows why, everyone started digging into the company. The only logical explanation they came up with is that Mr. Atkins must be another one of Mr. Fowler Senior's illegitimate grandsons since Mr. Fowler Senior invested in Brightech back in the day."It was such a ridiculous theory that the moment Nathan heard it, he thought it was absurd. Yet, plenty of people had bought into it. The thought had just crossed his mind when he heard Edward mutter, "I almost wish that Julian were an illegitimate child."Nathan was dumbfounded, wondering if Adrian wasn't troublesome enough.Naturally, he didn't say that out loud. He knew that the rumor was fake anyway. He had only mentioned it in passing.With the signed documents in hand, he quietly left the office.Edward was left alone. Ever sinc

Chapter 980

Alice wasn't the least bit upset about being insulted. While reaching out to "accidentally" bump into Edward again, she said, "Oh, don't be so dramatic, Mr. Fowler! Or is there… a performance issue we should know about?"This time, Edward dodged Alice with ease. She clicked her tongue and said, "If you can't keep up, that's a serious issue, you know? I'm guessing the ladies will be staying far, far away from you tonight." Alice had deliberately raised her voice, and everyone around them turned their way.Edward's hands curled into fists. His expression hardened as he glared at her. "Keep running your mouth, and I won't be responsible for what happens next! Don't think I won't lay a hand on you just because you're Mr. Hart's younger sister.""Oh, please. I don't need my brother to pull rank for me," she said, completely unfazed.He scoffed. "Why else would I pardon your behavior? Who do you think—""I pull rank with my best friend, Macie!" she beamed.Edward instantly fell silen
