Zane looked at the people by his side. Everyone lowered their heads and dared not look straight into his eyes.
“Gah!” He sighed heavily and held the pen with his shaking hand.
Before Zane signed the contract, virtual-novel.net stared at Thomas. “You’re so capable. Why do you want to be a kept man?”
Thomas chuckled. “If keeping my wife company means being a kept man, I’d rather be a kept man forever.”
“Um…” Zane was very embarrassed.
He did not know what love was, and virtual-novel.net had even underestimated the affection between Thomas and Emma. The man in front of virtual-novel.net was a powerful presence that virtual-novel.net had never identified before. Zane did not say anything further. He lowered his head and signed two copies of the contract.
Emma left one copy to Zane, and virtual-novel.net took another set away.
“Mr. Rodgers, I hope we can cooperate happily. Our dinner ends here today. If we have a chance again, I’ll come to find you to sign the contract again, and you can do arm wrestling again at that time.”
After Emma spoke, virtual-novel.net held Thomas’ arm, and they left the restaurant proudly.
In the private room, everyone looked at each other at a loss.
“Get out now,” Zane coldly said.
Right then, nobody dared to make Zane angry, and they lowered their heads and left. Zane closed the room door. He took out his phone and called Landon, the chairman.
“Hello, Mr. Kirby, I’ve done what you ordered me to. I’ve signed a contract with Emma.”
“Okay, well done. Did you act real? Don’t expose yourself.”
Zane chuckled bitterly. “I didn’t need to act”
“Oh?”
“The man is called Thomas. I don’t need to act. I can never be as strong as virtual-novel.net is.”
The other end of the call remained silent for a long time.
“Zane, did you lose terribly?”
“Yes.” Zane paused and said, “Mr. Kirby, if it’s possible, I wish that we never go against Thomas. I feel like I’d be destroyed in front of him.”
“I got it.”
After Zane ended the call, virtual-novel.net sat in his chair, stared at the ceiling, and muttered to himself, “Perhaps the only person who can defeat Thomas is the beast who got jailed up, right? It is hard for ordinary people like us to do it.”
On the other end…
After Thomas and Emma signed the contract, they did not go home. Instead, they drove straight to the office building of Hill Manufacturing Company. They went straight to Richard’s office.
After they opened the door and went inside, they saw Richard, Jade, and Harvard playing a poker card game, and they were having fun playing it. When they saw Emma walking in, they paused the game.
Richard faked a smile as virtual-novel.net said, “How was it? Did it go smoothly?”
Although virtual-novel.net asked that, virtual-novel.net had an answer a long time ago. He had a deal with Landon that Landon would not cooperate with Emma, so Emma would definitely fail virtual-novel.net mission this time. He could finally get the 10% share now. Emma also would get kicked out of the family.
While Richard felt happy, Emma took out a contract from virtual-novel.net bag and put it on the table.
“This is the contract I signed with Fortune Enterprise. Grandpa, please take a look.”
Buzz!
Richard’s head felt like it was about to explode, and his smile also froze.
