After sending the message, David quickly left the house.He arrived at the nearest ATM, inserted the card, and entered the password.His hands trembled as he punched the numbers in.‘Please be right, please be right…’He closed his eyes and prayed desperately.After a few seconds, he opened his eyes.Seeing the ATM interface, he was so overwhelmed with excitement that he let out a cry of happiness. Quickly maneuvering the interface he tapped button after button and selected the option to check the bank balance.‘One, two, three, four, five…’He counted the number of zeroes in Thea’s bank balance and gasped giddily.After he had confirmed the amount in Thea’s balance, he quickly removed the card.Carefully putting away the card, he walked away from the ATM, and lit up a cigarette. The cigarette seemed to do wonders for his frazzled nerves and he felt way calmer after he finished smoking.Then, he sent a message to Alyssa.[Darling, I’m ready to transfer the money to my car

The next day.Thea got up early.She stood in front of the mirror and styled her hair.While doing her hair, she spoke to James who was still in bed, “Honey, since Pacific Group is back on track now, I think now’s a good time to change its name. I’m planning to rename it to Century Group. What do you think?”James glanced at Thea from behind.He smiled as if admiring a piece of beautiful art and replied, “Sounds good, hun.”“It’s settled then. I’ll arrange for the company name to be changed at noon. Today will be the founding day for the Century Group. I’ve sent invitations to some prominent figures to attend the founding ceremony of the Century Group.”Originally, Thea had not intended to tell James about this decision.However, the Pacific Group was bought with his money. Now that she wanted to change the name, she had to inform him at least.“Do you need me to contact some people to show up for support?” asked James.James knew it was important to invite more people to t

James read through the messages.He rested his fingers on his nose pensively.Thea had not discussed the name change with him and only informed him about it in the morning.Yet, here she was asking for the opinion of Mr.Caden of the Majestic Corporation.Despite the two having a happy marriage at home, treating each other with respect, and living harmoniously, Thea had never told him about anything regarding work.James casually threw the phone on the table.Newton stood aside and inquired, “Will you be going, Mr. Caden? You’ve resigned as the Black Dragon, but everyone already knows your identity as the chairman of Majestic Corporation. It’s also public knowledge that you’re the person helping Thea from behind the scenes. Not to mention the rumors about you…”Newton hesitated.“Go ahead if you’ve got something to say,” snapped James.Newton hesitated for a moment before explaining himself, “Various companies have been putting pressure on the Majestic Corporation in the past f

The Pacific Group Headquarters was not far from the industrial area.Initially, the Pacific Group was just a manufacturing factory, and the headquarters was a simple four-story building near their factory and not centered around town.According to Thea’s plan, the Pacific Group will continue to expand and aim to build a new office building in Transgenerational New City after its name change.Ten in the morning.Century Group Headquarters.The headquarters was a four-story building.Outside the building was an open space with tables. Many Century Group employees were busy making preparations.A red banner hung grandly at the top of the building. Century Group’s Establishment Ceremony.A stage was set up outside the building, and many seats were set in front of it.“Ms. Thea, it’s already ten o’clock. Why hasn’t anyone arrived yet?”Larry was nervous, seeing that the venue remained empty. He turned to Thea and nervously suggested, “Why don’t you follow up on your invitations?

“Stop this behavior!”Gladys approached and chided everyone, “Thea is someone highly respected. Plenty of bigwigs are dying to meet her. Just you wait! A lot of influential figures will be arriving soon. Celestial Group, Longevity Pharmaceuticals, and other major company bosses will be here!” “Mom, shut up,” David pulled Glaydys aside and whispered.“Everyone knows that the Black Dragon was behind Thea’s success. After he resigned, he’s now no longer part of the Five Commanders. Rumors say that he was demoted or was under pressure from his higher-ups. The Black Dragon has fallen.”“He…”Gladys lost her confidence.Lex looked over at Thea, nodded, and walked toward the front-row seats with his cane.He came to verify the situation with his own eyes.Rumors were circulating that Black Dragon had fallen and was completely at the mercy of his enemies right now. Were people no longer going to respect Thea anymore?He might as well toss in his coin with one of the factions now.Ch

The Great Four established Oceanic Commerce.The purpose of their collusion was to oppose James’ Majestic Corporation.Everyone knew James of the Majestic Group had a close relationship with Thea. Thus, Oceanic Commerce had deliberately come to cause trouble during the establishment ceremony of Thea’s Century Group.They deliberately came to give James a warning.The Pacific Group’s factory and headquarters were on rented property.Thea stood up and refuted, “Our rental contract is still valid for three more years. Even if you have the land deed and are the current owner of this area, you still have no right to ask me to leave.”“Is that so?”The middle-aged man smiled menacingly.“By the way, I haven’t introduced myself. I’m Wade Xavier, the vice president of Oceanic Commerce. I’m here on behalf of the commerce to inform you that the land now belongs to us. Thus, your previous contract is now null and void.” Wade glared at James, who was nearby as he spoke.He personally wi

In an instant, the place was once again empty. Only Thea, Trevor, and some other employees stayed behind.‘Is there no other way but to move our equipment?’ Thea was unwilling to back down. She had wanted to leave her mark in the business world. Century Group was supposed to only be the beginning. Yet, it seems as if everything was crashing down even before she could take off.“Granduncle.”“Go ahead, Chairman.”Thea thought for a while and proceeded, “Rent a new warehouse immediately and transport all our current equipment there. We’ll have a chance to bounce back from this as long as our equipment remains intact. I’ve still got some money on my card. We’ll find a new site and build a new factory.”“Chairman, this…” Larry floundered helplessly.“The company still has plenty of unfished orders right now. We won’t be able to fulfill our orders in time and will violate our contracts if we move right now. We’ll lose a lot of money. Plus, don’t we have the lease contract? We ca
