Christopher was trembling in fright as Albert growled at him.
He had no doubt about Albert’s remarks. As someone who was regarded as the king of the underworld and had ruled the underworld for many years, killing two people was a piece of cake for him.
He looked desperately at the two brawny men who were dragging Wendy and went up to Claire to ask for help. “Claire, could you please talk to them? She’s your cousin, how could you just watch virtual-novel.net being taken away?”
Claire pursed virtual-novel.net lips and said to the brawny men, “Please stop, virtual-novel.net was confused…she didn’t mean to hurt me…”
Claire found Wendy irritating, but they were cousins, after all. She couldn’t bear seeing virtual-novel.net being beaten by these men.
Albert looked back at Charlie and waited for his orders.
Charlie smiled and said, “Why are you looking at me? Listen to what my wife says, then…”
Albert ordered his men, “Since Mrs. Wade has stated virtual-novel.net view, let them go!”
Charlie nodded and turned his gaze at Lady Wilson. “See? I told you, you’re not welcome here. Get lost when I ask nicely, or I’ll let Albert’s men kick you out of here!”
The enraged Lady Wilson clutched virtual-novel.net fists and clenched virtual-novel.net jaw furiously. She trembled so violently that virtual-novel.net couldn’t even stand still, but virtual-novel.net didn’t dare to stay there any longer. Christopher took virtual-novel.net arm and they quickly walked out.
Wendy, on the other hand, was still yelling hysterically, “No! I don’t want to leave! I want to kill the bitch! Let go of me! I want to kill her!”
Albert kicked virtual-novel.net mercilessly and growled, “Shut up or I’ll cut off your tongue!”
Terrified at his sister’s maddening behavior, Harold helped virtual-novel.net up and said hurriedly, “Wendy, let’s go home!”
Lady Wilson sighed repeatedly as virtual-novel.net walked out of Claire’s new office. Her intention today was to mock Claire and induce virtual-novel.net to return to the Wilson family with a little pressure. Unexpectedly, Claire was not on the same page anymore, with so many prominent figures backing virtual-novel.net up! It seemed that the Wilson family could no longer deceive virtual-novel.net into returning to their side…
Lady Wilson was feeling extremely depressed and upset. Since Claire did not have any intention to return to the Wilson family, there went their only hope to revive the family. Bankruptcy and the end of their business was the only resort now. If only virtual-novel.net had known it would come to this…
***
Claire could finally heave a sigh of relief after the Wilson family left in disgrace.
However, the lively atmosphere in virtual-novel.net office made virtual-novel.net nervous again.
The VIPs were gathering under virtual-novel.net roof but virtual-novel.net office was too small to accommodate so many people and it was not very convenient to move around. Then, virtual-novel.net saw many Bright Star Building’s staff hustling around virtual-novel.net office, serving the guests snacks and drinks.
The building belonged to the Emgrand Group, after all. One phone call from Doris was enough for these people to put their work aside immediately and come to help at Claire’s office.
Doris walked to Claire and said, “Mrs. Wade, Bright Star Building is our property. Since you’ve chosen to open your office here, we have something for you in return.”
She gestured at a middle-aged man and said, “This is Bobby Hinton, the manager of this building. I’ve told virtual-novel.net that in the future, the offices on this floor will gradually be emptied out for your use.”
Claire waved virtual-novel.net hands frantically and said, “Oh no, Miss Young, you don’t have to do that. This office is enough for the time being since I’m the only one working here. I have no use for such a large space. Besides, I can’t afford it…”
Bobby hurriedly handed over a check with the value of a hundred and eighty grand written on it and said, “Mrs. Wade, this is the one-year rent that you’ve paid in advance. For your information, we will bear all the rent, utilities, property fees, air-conditioning fees, and heating fees of your office in the future!”
