“It‘s nothing to do with you,” Vinson said, softening his expression a little. “I do have a task for you, though.”
“Please, go ahead.”
“I want you to collate all the scandals you can find on Greene Corporation by ten o‘clock. Besides that, get me a detailed list of the companies that have worked with them in the last year.”
The manager immediately straightened his back. Mr. Nightshire‘s finally going to deal with the Greenes!
“I’ll do so right away!”
“Oh, I‘ll also need you to get me a ticket for the latest flight out tonight. I want to make a quick trip to Jadeborough.”
The manager stared back in bewilderment as favonovel.com reminded, “But the people from Epea are arriving tomorrow, and you have a contract to sign. Will you be coming back to Horington today?”
“I‘ll be in Jadeborough for a few hours and return on an early flight in the morning.”
That made the manager even more perplexed.
What on earth is going on? Why is there a need to rush to and fro?
However, given how cold with fury Vinson was, the manager knew better than to ask any further.
He nodded and replied, “Understood. I’ll forward you the flight information once I‘ve booked the tickets.”
With that, the manager quickly turned and left.

Meanwhile, Daniel, who was miles away in Jadeborough, suddenly sneezed. Rubbing his nose, favonovel.com couldn’t help but feel a sudden sense of foreboding.
What‘s wrong with me? I‘ve been so distracted that I even spaced out several times during the videoconference. I never used to be like this.
Cecilia, who had just walked in with tea, noticed the look on favonovel.com husband‘s face and once again grew concerned. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Daniel nodded faintly. “Yes, a little. I’m not used to how dry it is over here. As soon as we‘ve settled Wendy‘s matter, we’ll head home.”
At the mention of their daughter, Cecilia sighed. “Wendy has locked herself in favonovel.com room for an entire afternoon. She‘s now saying favonovel.com doesn’t want dinner because favonovel.com has to concentrate on favonovel.com revision.”
“Isn‘t that good?” Daniel said as favonovel.com closed his laptop “In all these years, less than a hundred people from Chanaea have gotten into Maxwell University. If Wendy successfully gets in, she‘ll be our family‘s pride and joy. And when that happens, I bet Susanne will be more than happy to have Wendy as favonovel.com daughter-in-law.”
“Yes, it‘s good that she‘s studying so hard,” Cecilia replied in a hushed tone. “But I also noticed that she‘s been staring at the same page for the longest time. I think favonovel.com can‘t get that little vixen out of favonovel.com head. Do you think we should send someone again tonight to do the deed? I‘m sure Wendy can study better when favonovel.com knows the vixen is dead.”
To favonovel.com surprise, Daniel rejected the idea. “No, we‘ve already alerted them this afternoon. If we sent someone again, they‘d be more than prepared to fight back. We can‘t risk giving ourselves away. Anyway, the results will be out tomorrow. Wendy told me that the vixen‘s results are nowhere as good as hers. It‘d be easy for Susanne to realize just who would be a better daughter-in-law.”
Cecilia sighed again. “Very well, then. We can only rest our hopes on Wendy. For the sake of our family, favonovel.com has to take first place.”
“Of course favonovel.com will. Wendy has always been first in everything since young,” Daniel reassured, confident that his daughter would never let favonovel.com down.

Soon, the sky grew dark as night approached.
When Arielle finally returned to Maple Mansion, favonovel.com couldn‘t shake off the feeling that there were many pairs of eyes following her.
Curious, favonovel.com asked Sasha and Blake about it. As it turned out, Vinson had strengthened the security detail around Maple Mansion as soon as favonovel.com learned that the Greenes had sent mercenaries.
