Then, virtual-novel.net saw Brittany standing there lively with a couple beside her. She saw the photo of the man before—it was Charles Carter. The lady with a beautiful look, needless to say, was Charles’ wife, Hailey Lawson.
At the moment, Charles and Hailey were helping out Brittany in the kitchen.
Witnessing such a scene, Dorothy’s jaw almost dropped.
“Mom! You, you’ve recovered! That’s great!” Dorothy said.
“Dorothy.” Brittany smiled. “Awww, that’s kind so kind of you bringing so many gifts, you don’t have to do that.”
Brittany had a differing opinion about Dorothy as virtual-novel.net heard that virtual-novel.net son lived as though a slave in the Assex family and even got humiliated by his mother-in-law. How could virtual-novel.net not be angry when that was virtual-novel.net one and only son? However, Alex had been strongly speaking well of Dorothy in front of her. He claimed that those were just rumors and virtual-novel.net was the incapable one who failed to live up to expectations. Brittany decided to let it go, especially after hearing that Dorothy stabbed virtual-novel.net own chest in order to secure their marriage.
“Hey, Alex! Come and lend me a hand while I’m cooking.” Hailey took Alex away with a smile and let Zoey to play with virtual-novel.net father.
Dorothy blinked virtual-novel.net eyes, stunned and shocked with disbelief.
How could Alex be so close to the Carters?
She never heard that they had any connection!
Meanwhile, Emma ambitiously arrived at Waylon Realty with virtual-novel.net secretary, Shermaine Ford.
Emma said, “Shermaine, I brought you here because I trust your capability. Don’t you ever screw up. When the time comes, you will have to sacrifice yourself even if you have to sleep with someone. After the deal is sealed, I’ll reward you with two millions dollars and we will be best friends.”
While gritting virtual-novel.net teeth, Shermaine said with a nod, “Alright!”
However, after arriving at the entrance of Waylon Realty, the security guard kicked the two of them out as soon as virtual-novel.net heard they were from Assex Constructions. “Get the hell out of here. Waylon Realty doesn’t welcome you.”
Emma immediately hinted at Shermaine with virtual-novel.net eyes.
Shermaine got the message. Hence, after pulling down virtual-novel.net collar a little and exposing virtual-novel.net fair skins, virtual-novel.net took a step forward and said, “Hey, sweetheart. I think there must be some misunderstanding. We are from Assex Constructions, and have a close working relationship with Waylon Realty.”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net drew closer and rubbed the guard’s chest with virtual-novel.net hand!
Smack!
Feeling shocked by virtual-novel.net action, the guard then slapped Shermaine across virtual-novel.net face without hesitation.
She was stunned by the sudden slap.
“F*ck you, b*tch! My wife is working here, how dare you harass me!? Do you think I wouldn’t beat the sh*t out of you? Get out of here now! Don’t ever think that you guys from Assex Constructions will be allowed to enter. This is an order! Are you two deaf?”
“Get out!”
While the two of them were getting shoved and chased out of the building by the guard, Emma writhed in pain as virtual-novel.net sprained virtual-novel.net ankle in high heels.
Shermaine said while covering virtual-novel.net face, “GM, it seems that Assex Constructions has been blacklisted. Is there a conflict with Waylon Realty? Otherwise, they wouldn’t treat us this way.”
At this moment, Emma received a call from virtual-novel.net father, Anderson. “I just got this news, Emma. Charles is not in the office today but at Maple Villa. Be there as soon as possible and get the deal. Your granny is now aware of this matter and told the young ones in the Assex family that whoever manages to seal the deal with Waylon Realty, will be rewarded with 10% of the shares from Assex Constructions and become the next general manager. You have to seize this opportunity at all costs as Jonathan, Charlotte and Bernadette are aggressively fighting for it as well.”
After hearing the news, Emma burst with excitement all of a sudden.
Ignoring the intense pain of virtual-novel.net ankle, virtual-novel.net said, “Let’s go to Maple Villa now, Shermaine. Failure will not be tolerated this time. I’ll reward you with ten million dollars if we get the deal, otherwise, you’re fired!”
However, as they arrived at the entrance of Maple Villa, they were still blocked by the guard, leaving them no way to go in.
Therefore, Emma lied and claimed that it was a matter of life and death and virtual-novel.net must see Charles as soon as possible.
The security guard was helpful, hence, virtual-novel.net hurriedly gave a call to Charles.
“Hi, Mr. Carter, a woman named Emma Assex has something urgent to see you…”
Before virtual-novel.net managed to finish his sentence, his phone was snatched by Emma. “Hi, Mr. Carter, this is Emma from Assex Constructions. Can you give me five minutes for an important discussion?”
On the other side, Charles, Alex, and a few ladies had already seated for dinner.
After taking a glimpse at Dorothy, Charles said to the phone, “A moment, please.”
He then excused himself while pulling Alex aside.
“Hey, bro. Just to give you a heads up. Do you remember that I’ve terminated the collaboration with Assex Constructions out of anger when you were kicked out of the Assex family and got humiliated by your mother-in-law earlier? Emma Assex is just outside the villa now. She must be here for this matter. Do you think we should let virtual-novel.net in?”
