Damien showed the attitude of a man of the house. Daniel and Gloria did not have the intention to stay any longer.
They then left with their kids.
Upstairs. Miley stepped out of the shadows. She stared at the back of Daniel and his family as they left. “Don’t they have any manners?! You’re the eldest son! How dare Daniel’s kids disrespected you! Too presumptuous!”
“Okay, stop talking.” Damien scolded. He was afraid that Mr. Riddle Sr. would hear what Miley said.
‘I haven’t been treated like this!’ Miley thought. Her face could not resist but turned blue instantly. “You only dare to be tough against me! Daniel had been giving you a hard time recently! But you didn’t even dare to fight back! I completely can’t count on you!” Damien was fed up. He slapped her with the back of his hand immediately.
Pow! Miley’s face was swollen!
“H-How dare you hit me?” Miley looked at Damien in astonishment. ‘Damien has never hit me before ever since we’re married! How dare he slapped me?!
“So what if I slap you?” Damien’s eyes were cold. “I lost ground so quickly in the Riddle family because your family was defeated. You should reflect upon yourself!” He then walked upstairs after he said that leaving Miley behind. She was covering her face as she wept frustratingly.
‘Rogers family was removed from the circle of the great families. That was why even Damien dare to treat me badly!’
‘Who else can I count on?’
‘Right now, the only person I can count on is Chloe… "
In the Chairman’s office of Johnston Group. The atmosphere there was tense.
Jared sat on a black leather couch with a laid-back attitude. Three men were sitting opposite him.
They were Murphy, Castor, and a middle-aged man who was drinking his tea casually. He was Jared’s eldest uncle, Henry.
Jared was the acting president after he came back. Henry was working at a subsidiary. He rarely came to the headquarter. But he looked like he came here to dispense justice.
But Jared looked like he did not care at all. He gently sipped on his coffee as he glanced at Henry coldly. “Uncle and my cousin brothers. You came here to my office early in the morning just to welcome me back. I’m flattered.” Henry pretended to be polite.
Murphy was impatient. He scolded, “Jared, stop pretending! You left your position as acting president to hang out with a beauty overseas . Do you think you can hide it?”
“Hide?” Jared’s eyes were filled with darkness. “I don’t need to hide the things that I want to do from anyone.”
The pressure in the office dropped sharply due to his cold words.
Murphy’s expression changed slightly. He wanted to speak further. But Castor gave him a look to shut him up.
Castor then smiled cunningly as he said, “Jared, you’re a different person ever since you came back from overseas.”
They were overwhelmed by Castor’s attitude. Jared’s courage came out from nowhere. 1
His eyes were filled with coldness as he glanced at Castor. “Likewise. You were doing very well overseas too. You came to the headquarter right after you just returned. Do you want to become the acting president too?”
Castor’s facial expression changed. ‘I didn’t expect Jared to expose me so directly.’
“I should be the one who asks you this question. You were living peacefully overseas for years. Isn’t that good?
Castor’s eyes started to fill with doom. Jared smiled as he saw that. “I wanted to stay overseas too. But… Granddad asked me to come back. I can only obey.”
The three of them did not look good after Jared said that.
