Everyone was absolutely gobsmacked.

The two receptionists were startled as well. That was the Ring Avenue in Bayside City; one wouldn’t be able to buy even a square meter of property there without spending at least 40,000 or 50,000 on it. Right now, Stanley was planning to give the apartments to them to… quease their fears?!

The next day, everyone showed up to work at an abnormally punctual time; the incident last night hadn’t scared any of the employees away. As they worked, they kept an eye out for news about last night’s ‘compensation’ for the receptionists’ fear.

When noon camed, they could see that the two receptionists had posted stories of themselves signing the contracts for those apartments.

Everyone was stunned at this. Why was their boss so rich? Why weren’t they the ones who got paint splashed on them last night?

Sophia came to work at noon. It was only then did she find out that Stanley had kept his employees’ loyalty by gifting them apartments. Although they had lost a few million, they still managed to keep their employees. Although the landlord had been arrested, the man stubbornly refused to speak. He wouldn’t admit who sent him to sabotage the company, getting his lawyer to do everything instead. Sophia knew who was the mastermind behind all of this, but she couldn’t scrape up any proof.

When she returned to her office, her lawyer—Mr. Fields—was already waiting for her. The two of them talked about last night’s incident for a while before Sophia sent him off. She then returned to her office, but then a thought suddenly struck her. She proceeded to make a phone call.

“It looks like Harper is being really active. I see that he’s got a lot of savings on hand!” Her voice was abnormally chilly and filled with contempt when she spoke.

Xyla was in the middle of a manicure when Sophia called. She gave a cold chuckle and said, “Didn’t you want to use me in order to take Richard on, Sophia? I told you—there’s no chance!”

Xyla was now a winner in life, for she was already in control of the Harper Group’s board of directors. She had kicked all the Harpers out from the board. That was why Richard had recently invested into other professions, such as the online gaming industry. In addition to that, he had also received a large investment with no clear origins.

 

Xyla knew why this happened, and she also knew about the crisis that Sophia was currently facing. She couldn’t stop herself from mocking the latter as she said, “Hehe! I’m sure you didn’t expect this, did you? You tried to use me as a weapon against Richard, only to have me turn back and bite you. Just sit back and watch your company go bankrupt! I will definitely not help you.” She seemed to be very smug as she added one last bit. “By the way, don’t even think about getting your stocks back,” she said.
