Chapter 1501 Slapping the Shrew
"She’s just stating the facts. We're in this mess because of her. She blatantly disregards business rules and has no integrity whatsoever. If people like her stick around in this market, we might as well quit.”"We're all barely making ends meet, trying to solidify our market share. Especially now, we should stick together to maintain a harmonious market order. People like her aren't here for real business.""Exactly, she's just disgraceful!""Look at her, trying to dominate here, rallying these thugs. What's her game?"The crowd grew more infuriated, shouting louder.I gave a cold look at Andrea. She was visibly flustered across from me, and I asked, "Is this what you call malicious competition?"Andrea immediately pointed at the surrounding crowd and shouted, "Shut up, all of you!"Then she turned to me, pointing, "Chloe, who do you think you are? You’re just a cheap woman relying on a man's authority. How dare you talk back to me?"As she ranted, she shouted at the men aroun
Chapter 1502 Mighty Bodyguard
I exclaimed in shock, "Carol!”Carol, upon hearing my exclamation, suddenly turned around and froze in place. It was too late to dodge, but just as the bat was about to strike her, Tristan grabbed another hefty man in the nick of time.The man was flung out and crashed into the man wielding the bat. With no footing, both burly men fell heavily to the ground, emitting a muffled thud.Carol jumped aside in astonishment, watching the two men tumble to the ground. Then she gaped at Tristan.Even the onlookers were surprised by Tristan's actions. Nobody could understand how he, with his slender frame, effortlessly knocked down the two hulking men. It was evident how powerful his force must have been.Andrea was also stunned by the scene. She covered her face, watching the rolling men on the ground, then pounded her chest in anger. "Useless! What are you all doing? Just watching them fight? Hit them! I'll show you who's boss today. Get them!”The men seemed to snap out of their daze, c
Chapter 1503 Julius and Andrea
I smiled knowingly at Eleanor. I knew Aidan very well. He had been in this market the longest. Back when I was just starting out in business, he was already making a name for himself, running the largest store here.Aidan was protective, loyal, and had a good reputation, making him more suitable and influential than Eleanor to lead this matter.Kicking them out wasn't a solution without concrete evidence and involving contract issues. We needed to uncover the facts and have everyone join forces in filing complaints.After everyone dispersed, Eleanor pulled me back to the small office in our store.She looked at me and said, "Chloe, thanks for your timely arrival, today wasn’t a disaster. While I can repair the store if it's damaged, I can't handle her constant trouble. Since they moved into the market, it's been one problem after another."I can't directly approach the market management. After all, this market belongs to ATL Empire. If Tanum's store gets into trouble, it reflects
Chapter 1504 Leaving Traces Behind
I figured Julius was an opportunist. His words to Eleanor were likely just a front.Maybe he wanted to leverage the influence of Andrea’s family for himself."Julius used Andrea's family's support to start a lime factory in the area. He got to know the construction industry while running sales. Later, he gradually got into floor tiles. But wasn't it because of this kind of pestering that Julius..." Eleanor glanced at me but didn't finish."Don't make excuses for Julius. Eleanor, everyone walks their own path. Since you've escaped that mess, don't entertain thoughts of him anymore.“If he binds you with such methods, it shows he's not worthy of being your partner. You'd better realize that." I was straightforward, knowing Eleanor's past.Eleanor blushed and nodded earnestly. "I understand, Chloe. I won't let you down. Since the day I left Surface Solutions, I've been determined not to be fooled or used by anyone.""Eleanor, determination is good, but letting go of thoughts about h
Chapter 1505 Gifting a House
I looked at Eleanor and smiled as I said to Aidan, "Then please take care of each other. I'm busy and can't always come here, so I'll leave Eleanor to you all. We old friends must get along well.""Hey. Don't say that. She not only focuses on your own sales but also brings us a lot of business. It’s mutually beneficial, so we all can't just watch her being bullied. “That woman is simply a troublemaker. With our joint effort this time, we'll drive her out. You can rest assured," Aidan said enthusiastically, showing that Eleanor had a good reputation in the market."In that case, I'll be relieved. I have other matters to attend to, so you guys continue your discussion." With that, I pushed Eleanor lightly. "Don't send me off, and just get back to work."Eleanor smiled at me and Carol as we left, then turned back to attend to her duties.As I stepped out of the store, I couldn't help but think that perhaps Eleanor would manage this largest building materials market in Torado in the
Chapter 1506 Heartwarming Little One
I also firmly believe that Ryan was truly valuable to me. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to have his own accomplishments overseas.His mother was a great mother-in-law too. She pulled Joyce over and remarked, "Joyce is the best. She’s reasonable and understanding, unlike those materialistic women. She's not only excellent at work, but also very virtuous.""Exactly!" I quickly agreed.In this regard, Joyce was truly exemplary. After all, although she was of Etrian descent, she had grown up abroad, and she had a different mindset from other girls in Zydan.I was very grateful that Ryan had met Joyce.Time passed quickly, and if Carol hadn’t reminded me to go see the little one, I would have forgotten.After buying some snacks and toys for the kids, I knocked on the Reese family’s door again.To my surprise, Charlie was running around the house. When I walked in, he froze on the spot, staring at me blankly.Then, he abruptly dropped the toy in his hand and staggered toward
Chapter 1507 The Tallest Tree
My heart felt content as I saw the relieved smiles on the faces of the Reese family members."Yeah. I have him doing quality inspection now, and he's doing a great job. Actually, it's a tough job," I said truthfully. I looked at the little one. "He can’t even spend time with little Charlie every day.”Carol chimed in. "I went to Bourdamun with Mr. Ryan a few days ago. We saw him, he's doing well. He knows the quality standards inside and out.""Yeah. He's changed. He’s really different now. He wouldn't even speak before, but now, he's so respectful to us old folks. It's all thanks to you, Mrs. Chloe." Donovan sighed."Don't say that. You don't know the love of a parent until you have a child, right? Besides, he wasn't really bad. He was just a bit rebellious, which led him astray. “It's a good thing he's back on track. After all, he has a son now." I looked at the little one calling me mommy with his face upturned toward me. "He's a lucky star. Look at how cheerful he is.""I us
Chapter 1508 Unexplained Anticipation
In the garden, bathed in golden sunlight, my mother's white dress took on a golden hue. She looked ethereal and breathtakingly beautiful against the backdrop of the rose-purple water lilies.As she stood up and looked at me reluctantly, she told me she had to leave and asked me not to forget the tallest tree.Feeling sad, I rushed toward her, but she had already turned decisively and left, disappearing into the golden sunlight.I wanted to call out but couldn't. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t move to catch up with her.I reached out to grab her, but a black mist enveloped everything. The figure suddenly turned back, looking at me with a grimace and uttering in a low growl, "You will regret this!"It was Celine. I was startled and shouted, "No! No! No!"I sat up abruptly, but a pair of large hands lifted me up. In my scattered gaze, I saw Atlas's mesmerizing face.He lovingly pulled me into his arms, soothing me gently. I closed my eyes, recalling the dream I just had."
