After the financial sniping incident, Matthew suspected that Beacon Tires had something to do with the incident, as it was all too much of a coincidence. However, Mary Jane had already made plans for someone else to take the fall—under the pretense that a minor company had somehow been the instigator of the entire incident. By doing so, Odello Corp. would have no way of linking this incident to Beacon Tires. There was no way Matthew was going to let Beacon Tires off the hook despite not being able to link the two together.Over the next month, he coerced Odello Corp. into using all kinds of extreme methods to pressure Beacon Tires. However, all of these attacks were easily handled by Javier, rendering all of Matthew’s efforts moot, causing the latter to be extremely furious. At the same time, the young Dunham, who was the person pulling the strings from behind the scenes, was feeling frustrated as well.Judging by the man’s tone during their conversation, Matthew could tell tha

On the way back, Javier questioned Jade about her prior actions and the reason she’d called him “honey.”Jade then explained, “You’re the one who sent me a text saying that you were having a reunion with your former schoolmates here and would be back home late tonight. That’s why I came over. “I thought that reunions usually involve people criticizing one another. Also, I know that you’re a man who prefers to keep a low profile, so I was sure that you would be one of those being criticized. Considering how much you’ve helped me in the past, I thought I’d come over and make you look good!”After saying that, Jade turned to look at Javier with a smile. “Hurry up and thank me!”Feeling flabbergasted, Javier chuckled and said, “Thank you.”“You’re welcome!”‘She’s really pretty when she smiles. I can feel my heartstrings being pulled whenever I see her like this…’Javier thought that this matter would end now that the reunion was over and nobody would bug him anymore. Alas, that

Zayn’s face turned ashen when he saw the 180 in the netizens’ discussions. As his hands shook, he made a call. “I want the internet to be wiped clean! Now! I don’t care how much it costs! I want all the information about me deleted! I’ve already f*cking said, everything needs to go! Including my confession this morning! All of it!!!”After hanging up, Zayn upended the table in front of him, sending all the plates crashing to the floor. “Who was it? Who was it?! Who leaked that information about me on the internet?! That f*cking b*stard!!!”Zayn’s rage went on for more than ten minutes before he finally calmed down. He sat down and fumed some more, muttering to himself under his breath for another five more. He then pulled out his cell phone and gave Matthew a call, still muttering to himself. “I can’t let this happen. I must make Jade see that my feelings toward her are genuine! I must make her feel that and not let this negative information affect her…”When the others return

Matthew had no idea what kind of thoughts were swimming inside Herschel’s head, and neither did Jade. The only one who did, of course, was Javier, and he was naturally not going to let him commit murder. Matthew was just too pathetic and was such a small fry that killing him would attract way too much fame and attention than the maggot really deserved.He shot Herschel a glance, and the man immediately bent to pick up a wooden stick before returning to his car, acting as though he was just trying to find the perfect tool to scratch out the little pebbles lodged in the car tires. This effectively removed all the attention from him, and Matthew returned to the previous topic straight away.“Sorry but not sorry, bud. Odello Corp. doesn’t make a habit of letting outsiders in for no reason. Get off the property.”“But he’s not an outsider. He’s the driver I just hired,” Jade rebutted. “The driver Drakon Real Estate had arranged for me doesn’t give me a sense of security so I hired my own

Matthew and Neve had mistaken the paper in Jade’s hands for the notice from the board of directors the latter had passed to Jade earlier this morning. To them, the fact that it was an A4-size paper as well had made it impossible to guess its contents.Jade’s retort, however, smothered their laughter instantaneously. Startled, Neve snapped out of her shock and said curiously, “No way. That can’t be…dare I say it? It’s…your resignation, right?!”Then, an ear-splitting guffaw of even greater intensity filled the room. It was shrill enough that even those outside of Matthew’s office could hear it.Jade considered the chortling duo impassively. God knows which one of them was more insane than the other. She marched ahead, closing the distance between her and Matthew before shoving the agreement into his chest.“Read it yourself. Get your daughter to use a dictionary if some of the words are too complicated for you two,” she rasped. “Morons.”She turned on her heel and stormed out of th
