After Thomas hung up, he said nonchalantly, “He says he would deliver in ten minutes.”“Pfff! You wouldn’t stop pretending, huh?!” Melvin pointed at his head, and said, “If you could get a basket of diamonds, each of them being the same as mine, I, Melvin Payne would chop off my head, and give it to you as a chair. Otherwise, you will leave Emma.” Emma frowned and said, “What are you talking about?!”Melvin stared at Thomas, “How is it? How about a bet with me if you’re a man?” Thomas fell silent.Emma pulled his sleeve and said, “Just ignore this joker.”Melvin grew more confident when he saw Thomas kept quiet. “Haha! You dare not make a bet with me because I’ve exposed your lies, right?”Thomas shook his head, and said, “No. I just felt a little too much to chop off your head because of such a trivial matter.”“Pooh!” Melvin rose up and said, “Thomas, would you stop bragging?! Let me ask you again, do you dare to make a bet with me or not?!” “Alright. Let’s make a bet, th
Johnson advised, “The Hill family values personal abilities very much. If you have the same status as Donald, or if the Mayo family still possesses Shalom Technology, a bunch of people will take the initiative to call you and ask you to attend the memorial service before you say anything.“Now, you don’t have money and a bright career, so nobody is willing to acknowledge you. It’d be better if you don’t call them.”Thomas smiled bitterly. “It depends on them whether they want to acknowledge me or not, but it’s also up to me to inform them. Besides, I also want to see how the Hill family treats me.”“Sigh, just make the call if you want.”Firstly, Thomas called the head of the Hill family, Richard.“Hello? Who is this?”“Grandpa, it’s me, Thomas Mayo.”Richard was hesitant for a while. “Thomas? Why are you calling me?”“I just want to inform you that it’ll be my late brother’s birthday in five days. I want to organize a memorial service for him, and I would like to invite you.”
Five days passed within the blink of an eye.Early the next morning, Emma woke up early. She put on a formal black suit.It was a memorial ceremony, after all. Therefore, she had to dress in formal clothes instead of casual clothes. When Emma stepped out of her room, Thomas was already not in the house. He did not even answer his phone when she called. She unwittingly became puzzled. When she came to the living hall, a nutritious breakfast was already served on the table.Emma sat down to eat while reading the note left on the table by Thomas. [At ten o’clock in the morning, I’ll arrange a car to pick you up - Tom].Emma smiled. ‘How thoughtful of him.’At that moment, Johnson had also woken up and went to the living hall. He asked, “Emma, do you really want to go fool around with Thomas?”Emma frowned and said, “How is that fooling around? Isn’t Thomas supposed to attend the memorial service to commemorate his deceased brother?”Johnson scoffed, “I didn’t say he’s not suppo
On West River Coast, Richard and Harvard were sitting in a black sedan as it was driven on the road.When Harvard looked at the broken riverbank that had been demolished, he smiled and said, “Grandpa, look, that area on West River Coast has been completely demolished. Yet, funnily enough, Thomas said that he wanted to organize a memorial service for his brother. I wonder who gave him the courage to brag like that. I guess he probably can’t go near the shore.”Richard cast a glance before he sneered, “Don’t mention a person like Thomas again. You should learn more from Donald. Don’t always wander about doing nothing.”“I got it, Grandpa.”The car was driven for some time before Harvard suddenly pointed out the window and said, “Grandpa, look, why are there so many helicopters?”Richard looked out the window, and there were about twenty helicopters in the sky. Behind every helicopter, there was a long white cloth, and it seemed as though they were mourning somebody.“Could it be…”
Bang! Bang! Bang!Car doors were opened. Strong men armed with sharp weapons jumped out of the cars one after another. There were fifty of them.Darcy and Brendon took the lead.“What are you guys doing here?!“Don’t you know this place is off-limits?!“All of you, get lost now!”Brendon shouted with flair, breaking the solemn atmosphere at once.Thomas frowned. He gradually turned his body around and cast a glance at Brendon. He said, “Today is my younger brother’s birthday. I don’t want to get rough. Get lost now. I’ll take my time to settle the account with you guys next time.” “Next time?! Settle the account?!”Brendon laughed. He pointed at the strong men armed with sharp weapons behind him, and said, “Open your darn eyes widely. Today, I’ve brought my men over here. Thomas, you’re very strong, but could you fight ten, twenty and even thirty men by yourself?!“Let me say this to your face, we’ve taken over the demolition work. Today, not only would we drive all of you a
There were more than just a lot of people. It was terrifying!There were one hundred Lincoln cars and about four hundred well-trained soldiers. How could an insignificant Darcy Davis afford to offend him?When the gangsters who received benefits from Darcy came to “work” and saw the situation, they quickly threw away their weapons. Nobody dared to make a move.“Well, Mr. Davis, I have something to do, so I have to leave now.“I have a little stomach ache, I’ll come back later.“We’ll talk again, Mr. Davis.”These gangsters were a motley crew. When they saw that Thomas had brought several hundred strong and muscular soldiers, they became so frightened that all of them ran away and did not care about Darcy whatsoever.In the end, only Darcy and Brendon were left on the spot.Thomas coldly asked, “Darcy, I’ve given you a chance to atone for your crimes, but you’ve chosen not to cherish it.”Darcy gritted his teeth and forcefully stood up.He chuckled and said, “Thomas Mayo, so w
“Hmph! I’m not bragging, even the director has to listen to me. He has to listen to whatever I say. Thomas, you’ve offended me, don’t even think of leaving alive.”Thomas slightly shook his head, and said, “So, you’re the one who has the final say in the Urban Construction Bureau, huh?” Suddenly, Thomas turned his head around to the huge cruise ship, and asked, “Director Morpheus, is this how it works in the Urban Construction Bureau?”‘Director Morpheus?’Holland shivered. He cast a glance at the cruise ship and saw no one there. He unwittingly heaved a sigh.“Still bluffing around here, huh?! I’ll certainly…”“Holland Jagger, come over!”A raucous voice was heard from the cruise ship. When Holland heard the sound, he was scared out of his wits. That voice was all too familiar to him.It was the same voice that he tried to curry favor with daily so that he could flaunt himself outside.The voice was from Noah Morpheus, the director of the Urban Construction Bureau.A midd
The moment Darcy saw Holland being arrested, his imposing manner totally disappeared.He knelt down in front of Thomas with a thud, and his tears streamed down his face. He kept crying as he said, “Mr. Mayo, I truly realize that it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have gone against you. I deserve it, but Scott and I used to partner up as close colleagues. Could you please let me off the hook this time?” Partnered up?Close colleagues? Thomas spoke in a low and angry tone. “Do you really think I have no idea how you worked together with Skyworld Enterprise to set my brother up?”Darcy’s complexion instantly turned pale, so he kept touching his head to the floor.“Actually, Skyworld Enterprise forced me to do those things. They gave the orders, and I was just an insignificant person who executed their orders. I really didn’t plan the conspiracy to set Scott up.“You can also see for yourself. Although I’m the chairman of Shalom Technology, I have to obey Skyworld Enterprise in everything
