Dwayne sank back into his chair, frustration etched across his face. "Mr. Johnson, do you have any other pressing matters? We need to address the companies' finances first! They hold the purse strings, and every penny we spend must pass through their hands!"He felt stifled beyond measure. Despite it being his own money, control slipped from his grasp into the Pentras' hands. Allowing them control was one thing, but needing their consent for every expenditure? It felt like the greatest mockery he had ever endured."What's the rush?" Eric interjected. "Your company remains under your control in every aspect except finances. Besides, without your approval, can they truly move any money?"Eric continued. "The Pentras are aware of our meeting here. Their delay tactic is to observe our response and take action."Eric had a suspicion about the Pentras' next move. The Combat Department had recently visited their premises—they wouldn't dare threaten the distributors' families. Most likely,

Mark seethed with anger!Were they seeking death, these slaves destined for doom?John clenched his teeth. "Mark! Who's the one living off others? Your Pentras are the ungrateful ones! We've generated so much wealth for your family, how have they treated us?"Mark's expression turned dangerous as he looked at John. Upon seeing Sylvia, however, he hastily put on a smiling face, though his words remained somewhat impolite. "Ms. Williams, you can't do this. These distributors are all part of our Pentra family!"Shall I take them back? I can make that decision myself and only take 50% of your profits!"He was truly going all out to resolve this matter!Compared to the Innova Group, the distributors held more significance. After all, the profits they made belonged to the Pentras!Upon hearing that, the five distributors panicked.Would the Innova Group hand them over? Wouldn't that be a death sentence?Sylvia hadn't even stood up yet when she grinned. "Mr. Pentra, do you own all th

Little did Mark realize that the Innova Group dared to take him on!Despite bringing along a few skilled fighters, the Innova party proved to be even more formidable. He ended up battered and bruised, his face a swollen mess."Get lost!" Vince exclaimed arrogantly. "Don't let me catch sight of you again, or I'll beat you every time!"Mark felt like his once handsome face had been completely wrecked. He left in humiliation with his Pentra entourage, swearing under his breath, "Just you wait! You bastards will pay for this!"He was furious. As the Pentra heir, he was used to getting his way in all matters. Who had ever dared to deal such a blow to him?John and his companions turned pale. This turn of events was beyond their wildest expectations.John said, "Mr. Biscus, Mr. Johnson, Ms. Williams... you guys... are in trouble! Big trouble!"Having dealt with the Pentra family for years, John knew precisely the sort of family they were: vindictive to the core. Would they remain indi

"Do they think I'm just a nobody?" The words had barely left Bryce's lips when his phone rang. It was someone from the company he had arranged things with, so he quickly answered, "Make sure you keep an eye on them. Don't let them collaborate with the Innova Group, and certainly don't let the Westlake distributors slip from our grasp!"He was giving orders. But the next moment…"W-What? You've been fired?" It was quite a ludicrous question.The individuals arranged by the Pentras to control the companies and monitor the distributors' movements had been dismissed. The Pentras primarily controlled the companies from a financial standpoint, ensuring they knew exactly how much money the distributors made.Who would have thought those people would be fired?!Ultimately, the companies still belonged to the distributors, who had complied with the Pentras out of fear. However, they had now turned against the Pentras. With the Innova Group leading the charge against Mark, it felt like they

Bryce felt somewhat powerless. He hadn't anticipated the Innova Group resorting to such tactics, and most importantly, he couldn't manipulate them.Mark began to suggest, "Dad, I think when Sylvia arrives, we should take them all down. After capturing them, we'll strip her naked and take explicit photos from every angle without leaving any blind spots!"Hmph! And if we capture some more stimulating scenes, I don't believe she will still resist!" He looked smug.While he was thinking his plan was ingenious, Bryce slapped him."Foolish!" Bryce uttered coldly.Mark wore a puzzled expression. He thought their plan was brilliant, so why did Bryce call it foolish?Bryce sneered. "Have you ever considered the Innova Group's structure? Slvia is just an employee they've hired. She doesn't own the company. Holding her hostage, threatening her, what good would that do?"She is expendable. If the Innova Group wishes, they can easily replace her as CEO today! How much impact would that have
Chapter 1425
Sylvia maintained a composed expression. "You call them underhanded tactics, but are they really? Besides, we haven't manipulated them. We're simply conducting business as usual. Isn't this the structure of business in various cities?"On the contrary, I've heard a lot of negative things about the Pentras from them. Mr. Pentra, could this be true? Are they slandering you?"Bryce's expression fluctuated.Sylvia had said too much, leaving him unsure how to respond."How exactly does minding our own business concern the Pentras?" she asked.If Bryce admitted to it, wouldn't it mean acknowledging that the Pentras controlled the Westlake distributors?Finally, he slapped his thigh. "Right! You're absolutely right! The Pentras stand upright. How could there be anything negative to say about us? Slander! They're just slandering us!"Those ungrateful bastards! Without my family, would they be living so well now? Ingrates!"He advised, "Ms. Williams, Mr. Johnson, I suggest you refrain f
Chapter 1426
Bryce was furious."Damn it!" he cursed through gritted teeth. "A bunch of ingrates! Why are they all hell-bent on opposing our family?""Dad!" Mark approached. "Let's take decisive action! Didn't you say that Sylvia isn't important to the Innova Group? Let's just grab her and have some fun! If we get tired, we can bring in 10 or 20 more men to deal with her!""What if she resists?""Hmph! I have connections in Catellon. We can sell her there for filming. I'm sure she'll fetch a good price!"Bryce raised his hand and delivered a resounding slap. "Are you out of your mind? Our family's authority and reputation are under severe challenge!"These bastards think they can defy us just because the Innova Group is backing them? If they succeed, how will others see us? Do we still have any standing left? Send some people to warn John and other distriputors."They must know that we are not to be trifled with!"He had no mood for women now.-At John's company.These past few days had
Chapter 1427
Outside John's company offices, a group of men in sharp suits arrived with determined strides. As they approached the reception desk, they forcefully shoved past the receptionist before a word could escape her lips."Out of the way! One more word and I'll lay you out! Don't think I won't hit a woman!"The receptionist recoiled, instinctively retreating behind the desk.Observing them heading upstairs, she hurriedly dialed John's number. "Mr. Dede, some very aggressive men are heading to your office!"Ever since John began managing finances for them, he had been granting them raises. Now, someone was causing trouble for their employer? That couldn't be allowed!If they messed with John, wouldn't their chances of getting another raise go down the drain? They might even lose their jobs. They had to secure their livelihoods!-In the office, John pondered how fortunes had changed when he received the call from the receptionist.It startled him. Although he knew the Pentras would se
