Winifred was extremely aggrieved. Before the contract was secured, why didn’t you make Iris from the business department negotiate this deal? Now that it’s secured, you’re using departments as an excuse. How biased can you be, Jorge Zea? Iris looked cheekily at Winifred. “Did you hear that? Grandpa has given me this project.” Winifred had no words to fight back. However, at that moment, Tyr laughed out loud. “How ridiculous!” “Beggar, what are you laughing at? There’s no place for you to speak here.” Iris glared viciously at Tyr with a mocking expression. Tyr smirked. “I’m laughing at how ignorant you are. Winifred and I were the ones who went to the Smith Group to sign this contract. Please take a look at condition number eight. This condition clearly states that as long as Winifred does not make any grave mistakes, she shall handle this project. If the person in charge was switched, the contract would automatically be void!” “What?” Iris’s expression changed. She quickly

“Bro, isn’t your necklace a little too fake? It’s only worth thirty bucks at most. Look, it’s even fading.” The large man was stunned and immediately enraged. Getting respect was important for a gangster, and William was blatantly sprinkling salt on the man’s wounds. The large man turned around and grabbed William’s collar. “What did you just say?” “Your necklace is fake, but mine is definitely genuine, and it’s worth a hundred and eighty thousand. Let’s switch.” The large man was dumbstruck. After he wore the fake necklace around his neck, William felt so light he could almost float. He returned to the area below the stage with his face still pale. Helen quickly asked, concerned, “Will, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Quick, sit down, and have some tea.” “That’s okay, Aunty.” William shook his head. He gazed fearfully at Tyr who was still dipping meat slices into the hotpot. Coincidentally, Tyr glanced back at him coldly, which made the hair on William’s skin s

At that moment, Tyr felt like he had just been stabbed in the most delicate part of his heart. His mother-in-law had actually pawned her dowry away just to buy her daughter a car. “I’ll get the bangle back tomorrow,” said Tyr. Winifred smiled bitterly. “Do you think it’ll be possible? My grandmother’s family background is quite strong, so her mother’s dowry is of some quality. I heard that her bangle was worth around tens of thousands twenty years ago. After keeping it for so many years, it must be worth at least a hundred thousand now. I don’t have that much money with me at the moment. But thankfully, I have a huge project on hand right now, and the produced items have been handed over progressively. Soon, the Smith Group will be paying us, so let’s think of something when that time comes.” Tyr chuckled in his heart. By the time you get the money, that bangle might be gone. The next morning, after Tyr had sent Blair to school, he gave Jade Laurell a call. Through Jade’s conne

In Winifred’s eyes, Joseph Zea had always been a capable and courageous elder. Furthermore, in these past six years, where the entire Zea family, close or distant, had scorned her, only Joseph was decent to Winifred and had given her family a lot of assistance. Hence, Joseph was an elder whom Winifred respected very much. Now that Joseph’s factory was on the verge of closure, Winifred could never just stand by and watch. “Fourth Grandpa, I’m sure you’ve come to me because you’ve heard that I was in charge of the collaboration with the Smith Group, right?” “Yeah.” Joseph nodded. “Winifred, if it weren’t because I have nowhere else to turn to, I wouldn’t be so shameless and come to look for you. The project you’re doing now should exceed ten million every month on orders. So, Winifred, can you outsource a small portion for my factory to do?” Winifred was silent for a moment. Seeing how haggard her Fourth Grandpa looked made her heart ache. “Fourth Grandpa, I don’t have any problems

Winifred did not have any time to defend against Ethan’s chain of attacks. The man had used his resignation to incite human emotions just to achieve his goals. To switch out the person in charge and to chase Winifred out of the company. That way, the accusation about Winifred deliberately importing low-quality fabric for profit was firm. It would be hard for her to explain herself. “That’s right. A person like this should be chased out of the company.” “And whatever feedback from the Smith Group will be Winifred’s responsibility.” “Even if they want to send her to jail, let it be done immediately!” The Zea family management officers expressed their opinions. No one was willing to stand up for Winifred and redress her grievance. Winifred was feeling lost. Who were these people? A lot of these people were her closest relatives. Why did each of them want her dead so badly? “Grandpa…” “Don’t call me Grandpa!” Jorge roared. “This project will temporarily be handled by Iris. Wi
