Hmm… When would he hear Layla call him "Daddy"?Thaddeus opened the chat box with Layla, but the conversation was still stuck on the message he sent a few days ago, and Layla hadn't replied. He sent her another voice message. "Layla, do you want to come to Zenville?"The car soon arrived at Holt Jewelry. Thaddeus got out of the car and took the CEO's private elevator upstairs. In the elevator, he kept refreshing his conversation with Layla, waiting for her reply.When he reached the top floor and saw the empty space outside his office, Thaddeus paused for a moment. Instead of going into his office, he turned and sat on the couch in the lobby."Turn this area into a children's area. Put a big slide in that corner and some colorful balls. Add a princess swing here, and buy more robots to put on the top floor."Thaddeus patted the couch he was sitting on. "Get rid of all the couches and tables!"Jordan silently noted down all of Thaddeus' instructions. However, he couldn't help but
In a short period, Lucas had many thoughts on his mind. He was a bit worried that his scummy dad would get close to Jessamine again. What kind of person could he be as a man who doesn't want a wife and child?"Mommy, will you… find me a daddy?"Jessamine's breath hitched. "Lucas, don't you want a daddy?"Lucas felt a bit sad. Of course, he wanted a daddy. He envied other kids who had daddies in their dreams. But he didn't want a scummy dad!"Mommy, I don't want a bad daddy."Jessamine smiled. "Daddies aren't bad people. If Daddy comes back from the Magic Academy, would you like him?"Lucas pursed his lips. "I'll see how he behaves!"Jessamine sighed inwardly. Her son wasn't easy to fool. In the future, Thaddeus would have a hard time with him.…Soon, it was the day Amy had set for the annual meeting.Two days ago, Jessamine and Oscar had met and discussed some details. Setting the time to reclaim the company today was to give Amy a more severe slap in the face.As for all t
With Colin being arrested and taken in, this gave Amy an opportunity. She was determined to seize this chance to break into the upper echelons and become a socialite like Sasha.Oscar tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. "Jessie, do you want to play a game first?"Jessamine shook her head. She had no mood to play games now. Her mind was filled with images of rubbing Amy's head on the ground. She wanted to make that woman fall from grace and make her pay a painful price for her actions.Inside the Hiltown Hotel, Amy wore a fancy dress. She had undergone cosmetic procedures, giving her face a radiant glow. She had also hired a professional stylist for her hair. It was said that clothes would make the man. Even after years of wear and tear, her luxurious attire covered up the traces of time, giving her a delicate and refined demeanor. Her demeanor perfectly embodied the image of a wealthy young lady, especially with her restrained manner, portraying the daughter of a wealthy f
She had just stepped onto the stage when applause erupted from the audience. Someone cheered, "Is Ms. Quilton going to talk to us about the company benefits?"Colin was notoriously stingy, always strict with his employees, with company policies tied directly to wages. Being one minute late meant a deduction. Leaving work a minute early meant a deduction. Eating at the desk meant a deduction. Not being at the workstation during working hours meant a deduction. He seemed to want to deduct every last penny from the employees' wages and hand it back to himself.These employees were truly suffering. If it weren't for the difficulty of finding work and the immense pressure of life in recent years due to the economic downturn in various industries, they would have resigned long ago. Finally, with the hope of a new leader taking over, they were eagerly looking forward to changing these unreasonable policies.A new generation reigned, and there was hope of a better promotion. Amy sto
"Jessie, why haven't you come yet? I can't stand it anymore. Please hurry up and get her off the stage," said Shane.Benji was even more anxious than Shane. He shouted, "Ms. Quilton, are you interested in cooperating with me? Let's personally discuss the contract!"As soon as these words were said, all eyes in the hall turned to look at him. Some recognized Benji and whispered, "Isn't that Mr. Moore?""Oh my god, isn't he the wealthy Mr. Moore, whose chain stores are even opened overseas? He even wants to cooperate with Ms. Quilton? Ms. Quilton is indeed so powerful. She's just taken office, and already a big company is actively seeking cooperation.""Ms. Quilton is amazing!""Yes, if Mr. Quilton had stepped down earlier, we would have received bonuses and bought houses in the capital by now."Shane gave Benji a disdainful look and asked impatiently, "Are you just showing off? Why would you want to cooperate with her?"Benji calmly replied, "I'm talking about doing business, not
Jessamine took out the relevant documents and showed them to everyone."Now I am the largest shareholder of this company. You can come forward and take a look."As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned, including Sasha and those who had come to join in the fun. They stopped chatting and focused on what was happening at the scene.Everyone stopped praising Amy and started looking at each other, none daring to speak.At the previous shareholders' meeting, when the two factions of the company were in a fierce dispute, Colin's daughter came forward to take charge. Just when the situation had finally stabilized, a young girl emerged claiming to be the largest shareholder of the company.They didn't believe it, but it was such a significant matter that even though they doubted it in their hearts, no one dared to speak out.At this moment, a major shareholder of the company stepped forward and took a look at the documents in Jessamine's hand. His expression froze
"It's not up to anyone to decide."Amy's face turned pale when she saw those words written in black and white."Did Grandma do this? How many shares did you and Grandma deceive from Dad?" As Amy asked this, both the executives and the lower-level employees fell silent. Didn't she just say she was Colin's only daughter? Why did her words sound like a conversation between sisters?Jessamine snorted. "Sorry, but Grandma only had a dozen shares. I bought the rest over the years. Disappointed?"Everyone was shocked. She bought the remaining shares. How much money did she have to spend, and how much time did it take to collect those shares to finally become the largest shareholder of the company?What a well-calculated plan this was.Jessamine could see the disbelief in Amy's eyes,"You're right. I spent almost all my savings over the years and even spent all the trust fund my mom gave me to buy these shares. I didn't do it for wealth, but for today."Amy's face couldn't be describ
Amy was momentarily dumbfounded. As she looked around, those who were clamoring the loudest for her to repay were the ones who had previously praised her the most. She still remembered their flattering expressions as they toasted her, but in the blink of an eye, they were pushing her to the brink.Such is the fickleness of human relationships.Seeing her losing ground, anyone could easily kick her while she's down."Pay back the money!""Pay back the money!""Pay back the money!"Everyone was shouting at her, each looking fierce and menacing, as if they wanted to devour her.For a moment, Amy felt somewhat at a loss. When she saw Jessamine's radiant face again, she felt disgust and resentment. Who gave her the right to dictate such important matters?"You're slandering! My dad has been law-abiding and upright all his life. He wouldn't do such despicable things. Don't believe her, everyone. This woman deliberately tarnished us Quiltons because she holds a grudge against us!"Up
