Semua Bab The True Dragon's Comeback: Bab 91 - Bab 100

Archer had no idea what had gone down earlier. By now, he was already walking into the private room where the Jensons were gathered.The moment he stepped inside, he could feel the tension in the air.Marianne and Howard sat there with dark expressions, barely holding back their anger."Archer, Cyril said you left to deal with something. Why didn't you tell me first?" Marianne sounded slightly annoyed. She had just been mocked by a bunch of people earlier—of course she was upset.Archer glanced at Cyril, who flashed him a smug, challenging smile."I ran into a friend and talked for a bit," Archer said with a smile."Hmph! What kind of friend is so important that you kept the whole family waiting?" Marc snorted, clearly irritated.Cyril chimed in with a mocking look. "What kind of decent friend could he have? Probably someone just as sketchy as him."Eileen nodded quickly. "Exactly! If he's friends with a convict, chances are they're all cut from the same cloth."Archer ign

Everyone turned their eyes back to Marianne's family, their expressions full of mockery and disdain.Monica quickly waved her hand. "Eileen, don't say that. Marianne might get upset. Just think about Juliette! That girl used to be amazing. So many young, successful guys lined up to chase after her. And now? Sigh… Her whole life's basically ruined. Such a waste!"She sighed dramatically, then suddenly changed the tone."Life really is all about luck. My daughter, Amanda, never stood a chance next to Juliette, but at least she found herself a great boyfriend. In the end, a woman's abilities don't matter much. What counts is who she marries."Her words carried a double meaning. Not only was she talking down about Juliette, but she was also subtly jabbing at Marianne for marrying the wrong man.If Howard had even a shred of talent, their side of the family wouldn't have ended up in such a pathetic situation.Marianne's face turned stone cold. If Walter hadn't been there, she would'

"Shut up if you don't know what you're talking about." Marianne shot Howard a glare, then turned to Archer with a smile. "Just ignore him."Archer nodded.The car pulled away from the Josenburg Grand Hotel.On the other side, Juliette had also gotten out of the car. She didn't call a cab and just walked off on her own, leaving the hotel behind.After turning into a quiet alley, she came to a stop and said calmly, "You can come out now."A man dressed in black stepped out of the shadows, chuckling. "Well, well. You actually noticed me. I guess you really are Ms. Jenson."Juliette's expression stayed cold. "Sixth-level Strength Forging, huh? Looks like Timothy has picked up some decent lackeys over the years, riding the Jensons' name."This man had been sent by Timothy. Earlier, Timothy had misunderstood something and guessed that Juliette might have made a deal with the Holdens. Worried things might go sideways tomorrow, he secretly sent his right-hand man to kidnap her. As lon

Everyone turned to look and saw two figures walking in. One was Juliette; the other was a graceful, elegant woman with a strong, mature presence.The room instantly shifted. Timothy's eyes widened slightly, and he almost lost control of his expression.Walter frowned and barked in a deep voice, "Juliette, what do you think you're doing? Don't forget your place."She had agreed so readily yesterday that he thought she wouldn't pull anything like this.Juliette walked in calmly and steadily. Her eyes swept over everyone in the room before finally landing on Walter."Grandpa, of course I know my place. That's exactly why I came here today."She glanced coldly at Timothy, whose face had turned an ugly shade, and spoke without any trace of politeness. "With all due respect, Grandpa, your judgment when it comes to picking a successor hasn't exactly been great. With Timothy's abilities, the company will only head downhill. As a member of the Jensons, I can't let that happen."Veins p

Everyone's expression shifted slightly. What Juliette said just now sounded a bit like she was trying to force the decision.Walter's brows furrowed; a flicker of anger flashed in his eyes as he gave Juliette a long look."I trust your ability, but you're still quite young. How about this—you'll be the acting CEO for now. If you do well, we'll make it official."He spoke with a warm smile, as if he were really thinking about her future.Juliette raised an eyebrow, but didn't push further. She knew better than to corner Walter too hard. With a cheerful smile, she nodded. "Alright, I'll go with whatever you say."Walter let out a small sigh of relief. He had been worried she might go all in and make things difficult.Sweeping his gaze over the room, he spoke with authority. "From now on, Juliette will be the acting CEO and take full charge of our partnership with the Windsors. I expect everyone to support her in this role."Everyone nodded. No one dared to object anymore.Eve
