The arrival of Dean Kingsley calmed the tense atmosphere. Vincent set aside the issues he addressed to accommodate the old man. He glanced at his father-in-law, nodding at Jacob before he shifted his gaze to Chairman Kingsley and said, "Sir, let me lead the way to the conference hall." Dean nodded and happily followed Vincent. Left behind in the conference lobby, everyone had a baffled expression on their faces. They did not expect Vincent to have a good relationship with Chairman Kingsley.…-

"You must be crazy, Mr. Shen! Do you believe the employees would not protest?" Mr. Layne could not just stand, so he chimed in. He would not allow Vincent to embarrass mainly his son. 'Who he think he was!' Mr. Layne thought inwardly. And after what he commented, a few stakeholders also threw questions at Vincent, which didn't budge, but his face only exhibits how determined he is that what he said isn't a joke. With all the big bosses, the shareholders, corporate officers, the managers, and…

"Mr. Shen, are you threatening us?" The man seated on a single couch had gathered the courage to question Vincent. Looking at the man downward, Vincent opened his mouth and roared. "Threaten? Are you questioning your new CEO after you were caught gossiping about his private life? Whose wife are you dishing? Isn't mine? Locked her up and kept her on the bed? Who's husband would ignore after he found out that my company's directors actually had dirty thoughts for his wife? Not to mention she is your…

"I know you just wanted the best for me, mom. Without the advanced lessons and constantly nagging to focus on my study, I would not have become a competitive student, achieved academically, and succeeded as a businessman. Now my knowledge is going to be challenged. In this battle, I have to show everyone what I'm capable of without relying on you, dad and dad Jacob." "So stay back, mom. Let me prove to my father-in-law that he is not mistaken in trusting me," Vincent added. Hilda resigned, completely…

"Then, I will give them the beating myself!" Hilda blurted out. It infuriates her to think that people doubt her son's capability. And because of them, Vincent wants to join the Mafia Association. "Mom, calm down. Let me handle things by myself now." They were not in P Country, which he needed not to do anything but his name enough to make someone tremble. Only a few dared to challenge him, which, of course, it was easy to intimidate them. He isn't just known in the country because of the Shen…

Soon, Hilda arrived at the hotel. Kian, the hotel director, has been waiting to usher Hailee's mom-in-law toward the presidential suite. Vincent wondered what was with the shopping bags a few bodyguards carried following his mom entering the hotel room. "What with this many plants, mom?" "They're herbs!" Hilda snapped, glaring at her son. "I'm making Hailey some tonic." "Oh, okay." Vincent knew his mom would make Hailee a tonic, but he didn't expect that it would need an entire market to make a…

After Pitt shared what happened last night that he didn't know Hailee overheard him, Vince cursed inwardly. So, indirectly, he was also the reason Hailee bleeds after she was exasperated and gone distressed. In this situation, it also saddened him that Hailee kept this a secret from him, which they promised to be honest with each other, but she chose to keep it herself. "Mr. Shen, either the princess feels worse or feels better. Please, take her to the hospital for an ultrasound. I'll be there on…

"I'm fine, hubby." said Hailee and explained, "Said that I would experience such difficulties in breathing, and it will be hard for me to have a proper sleep on some nights." "Did you not have some sleep? Why didn't you wake me up? How long did you stay awake?" Vincent fires Hailee with a series of questions as worries written all over his face. "You don't have to worry a lot. It says it's normal." Hailee tried to pacify Vincent, but he insisted… "No. At least you wake me up to accompany…

John tightened the grip on his phone as frustration surged his chest. His father has only scolded him after telling him about the encounter he had with Vincent Shen, which didn't go well. Instead, he was warned twice by the couple in a separate conversation. "Dad, Miss Hailee... I mean, Mrs. Shen. She heard my conversation with Vincent and warned me not to be in the same place as her..." John paused when his father spoke. "But Mrs. Shen clearly declares that we should take our hands off her husband.…
