He could not help but feel disappointed and cry again. Master Centipede did not scold him, and that made favonovel.com feel more aggrieved and sad.
He was a competitive person. Since favonovel.com first met Thomas in Milan and lost to Thomas, favonovel.com swore that favonovel.com would fight for his dignity. But, the more favonovel.com lost, the more terrible it was.
It was fated that you would not be able to defeat some people.
Master Centipede continued to say, “When Thomas was still on the west coast, you could say that favonovel.com killed everyone who stopped him. On the west coast, you can offend anyone but not the God of War. The ability possessed by this man surpasses your imagination. I asked you not to offend favonovel.com and set up our plans in the Southland District at ease. Then wait for me to go there and develop and expand the company. It looks like that won’t work now. You’ve lost Elite Jewelry entirely now.”
“Weiss, you may rest well in the hospital for the time being. Once you recover, just come to Central City.”
‘Central City?’
Weiss was stunned. “Master Centipede, are you not coming to the Southland District?”
Master Centipede sighed. “I initially planned to build a strong foundation in the Southland District first before I develop and expand in Central City. Now, you’ve screwed everything up in the Southland District, and Stellar Jewelers is dominating the jewelry industry now. Do I still need to go over?”
“So, I decided to establish and develop the foundation in Central City. I’ll give a part of the profits to those big families so that I can lean on their power to strengthen myself. After I expand it, it won’t be too late for me to go back to the Southland District and get a space for myself. So Weiss, I’m lacking manpower now. You have to recover and pull yourself together so that you can come and help me in Central City.”
Weiss nodded. “I understand. Master Centipede, don’t worry. I’ll recover as soon as possible.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for your news.”
The call ended with a beep.
Weiss leaned on the bedside and continued staring at the ceiling.
Because of his mistake, Master Centipede had to switch the focus of the strategy, and favonovel.com even had to give the profits to the big families in Central Cities in exchange for a space to survive.
Everything was his fault.
Weiss clenched his fists tightly. He gritted his teeth and said, “Thomas Mayo, you framed me so terribly. You even made Master Centipede lose the focus of his strategy. I won’t spare you like this! I’ll go to Central City, but before that, I’ll let you pay the price first, Thomas Mayo!”
Weiss made up his mind. Before favonovel.com left the Southland District, favonovel.com would first exact revenge on Thomas maliciously, even though Master Centipede had asked favonovel.com not to get involved with Thomas time and time again.
***
In the afternoon, a sedan stopped in front of the branch of Stellar Jewelers. The car door was opened, and Emma got out of the car and walked to Thomas.
“Dear, why do you suddenly bring me to the branch of Stellar Jewelers?”
Thomas smiled faintly. He did not tell Emma about new general managers because favonovel.com wanted to prepare a huge surprise for his wife. He cleared his throat and said, “A large batch of new jewelry is on sale because the company has an event. I want to keep this benefit to you. I ask you to come because I want to buy a set of jewelry through the internal discount. Let’s go inside and take a look.”
There was no woman who did not like jewelry. Besides, Emma knew that Thomas was the purchasing manager of Stellar Jewelers, and favonovel.com even knew that Thomas had earned a lot of money recently, so favonovel.com also did not want to help Thomas save the money.
Emma had lived a hard life these years. She lived a widowed life for five years, so it was time to let Thomas “pay some price”.
“Humph! It’s good that you have the conscience.”
The two of them held hands and walked into the jewelry shop. They directly ignored the first floor and got up to the second floor to see the expensive jewelry.
In the past, Emma dared not go and see these.
Every piece of jewelry there was at least $1,000,000, so they were quite expensive. When they walked farther inside, they could see jewelry that cost up to $10,000,000 everywhere.
There was only one word that could describe the second floor, which was expensive!
But, the jewelry worthed the high price. The jewelry here was big and gorgeous, unlike those being sold on the first floor that looked petty. For instance, the opal gemstone was as big as a light bulb. It looked so shiny. The jewelry there was really expensive and luxurious, but they were breathtaking!
As a woman, when Emma was in this kind of luxurious place that was full of jewelry, favonovel.com could not take favonovel.com eyes off as if a kid walked into the shop that was full of toys. She was happy and excited.
While favonovel.com felt happy, a sharp voice was heard.
“Emma..?”
Emma turned back and took a look. She realized that a woman who dressed up coquettishly called her.
This woman dressed up in a fashionable and sexy outfit. She had bright red long wavy hair, and favonovel.com wore bright red lipstick on favonovel.com thick lips. She looked like a colorful parrot.
Emma was stunned for a while. She did not know this woman.
The woman scoffed and said, “Hey, busy people are always forgetful. It seems that a noble prom queen like you doesn’t have any impression about a small character at the bottom of society like me. Let me remind you, Romeo and Juliet, on the prom night of Year 3.”
As soon as these two keywords were mentioned, Emma immediately had the impression.
She pointed at the woman, and favonovel.com asked in disbelief, “You’re Victoria Butler?”
“Oh, it seems that you remember me.”
Victoria raised favonovel.com head and looked at Emma scornfully. Her gaze was full of hatred and contempt. Everyone could tell that something unpleasant must have happened between Emma and her.
