A senior executive who was reporting froze in place, looking at Reginald with panic written all over his face.Oh no, did he say something wrong? Were the performance metrics insufficient? Was the management not stable enough? Did he mispronounce something? What to do...He looked to Ben for help, and Ben, standing there, cast him a glance. The senior executive seemed on the verge of wetting himself.The entire conference room was on edge, everyone glancing at each other, unsure where to put their hands and feet.Meanwhile, Reginald, oblivious to the small-scale tsunami he caused, continued examining the incoming call, completely unaware of the turmoil he stirred.The call was about to be disconnected.Reginald raised his gaze, showing impatience as he looked at the anxious crowd. "Still here? Should I invite you out one by one?"Did they all want to stay and eavesdrop on his phone call?Ben, standing by, softened the tense atmosphere with a gentle tone. "Today's meeting ends here. I

Next to Coral, someone engaged her in conversation, and Coral responded attentively, not holding Darnell's hand or displaying any overtly intimate gestures.With everyone in their seats, the auditorium lights gradually dimmed, leaving the stage illuminated.The curtains were slowly drawn back, revealing Brady walking confidently to the central podium in the bright lights, embodying the demeanor of a future decision-maker for the PHOENIXFELL Empire.Amidst enthusiastic applause from the entire audience, Brady began his speech.Simultaneously, numerous live broadcasts spread across the internet.Brady, being well-versed in public speaking, delivered a witty and humorous address, earning thunderous applause from the university students.Pleased with the effect, Brady concluded his speech passionately an hour later, "The PHOENIXFELL Empire will undoubtedly stand at the pinnacle of the world, and the students of the PHOENIXFELL EMPIRE will be the elites at the summit of the world!"Another

Reginald leaned back in his chair, the high-quality fishing rod set aside, while his slender fingers played with a smartphone.His complexion wasn't looking great, especially considering there hadn't been the fourth or fifth call today. No calls at all.Did that damn woman think he could run wild just because he wasn't around?Reginald gritted his teeth, a dark shadow casting over his eyes. Not only did he ignore anyone trying to talk to him, but he also paid no attention to the fish that might be biting.After waiting for a while, Reginald crossed his left leg over his right, then switched, and then switched back again.Suddenly, he picked up his phone and dialed Heloise's number.The call went through, but it was like dropping a pebble into the ocean—utter silence.Fine.Very well!Reginald dialed again, and Ben hurried over, "Mr. Wordsworth, there's big news.""Get lost!"Reginald frowned impatiently."It's about the young lady from the Hyacinth Garden," Ben quickly added.At the m

Heloise, originally a small insect used to ward off disasters, should not have died, and the calamity was brought about by the Brook family."Oh... oh."Coral nodded repeatedly, trying hard to remember Brady's words, her eyes turning unusually red, tears streaming down."Listen." Brady leaned in and whispered to her, "If it comes to this point, dealing with Heloise, you go find Darnell, let him marry you. Among the young masters you've been involved with, only Darnell has good character, genuinely cares for you, and the Smith family's influence is not small. If the Smith family is willing to support me, I might still get out. Do you understand?"But this chance is extremely slim, and it all depends on whether Coral can win over Darnell."..."Upon hearing this, Coral suddenly remembered what Heloise had said in front of Darnell, mentioning that she would soon propose to him.It turns out that Heloise had already anticipated the next steps for their family.While crying and wanting to

"Such cheap concern," Heloise sarcastically smiled, slowly turning her head to face Grace."Raising poultry to slaughter poultry, do the poultry need to be grateful to you?"This was an acknowledgment that she was indeed Heloise.Just acknowledge it.Grace's gaze softened as she looked at her. "Heloise, words aren't that simple. Puppies and piglets can survive when thrown on the ground, but if you toss a baby outside with no one to care for it, would it survive?"No, an unattended baby would have only one fate – death.Heloise stared at her, truly surprised that her "mother" had such eloquence."Whether you care or not, you have to consider the fact that the Brook family raised you. Otherwise, you would have died long ago," Grace asserted, each word hitting its mark.In the end, she was just an abandoned baby, unwanted even by her own parents.At Grace's words, Heloise slowly approached them, hands pressed on the table, looking coldly at Grace. Word by word, she said, "Sending me to t
