The Dragon Seal

Chapter 21 - You Kept Us Waiting

Come afternoon, it rained in Halmont city. Augustus was waiting in front of the preschool gate with an umbrella.

"Daddy!"

Skylar spotted Augustus in the crowd from one glance and ran over with an adorable smile.

Augustus picked her up. "Skylar, did you have fun in school today?"

"Yep! I had lots of fun!"

At that moment, Grayson, who had come out of school with Skylar, snorted. "What's so fun about it? Don't you see that it's raining? Your dad brings you around on an electric bike. You'll definitely end up a drowned rat!"

Skylar pouted very unhappily and said, "I don't mind being a drowned rat! It's none of your business!"

Augustus smiled. "Don't worry, with Daddy around, Daddy won't let you become a drowned rat!"

Then, he conjured a car key from his hand.

"Wow, it's a Mercedes!"

Skylar's eyes sparkled with excitement.

The corners of Augustus's mouth twitched. It seemed like children these days knew quite a lot of stuff. They could even distinguish car brands so easily.

"Okay, let's see which is ours."

Augustus passed the key to Skylar.

Skylar quickly pressed the unlock button.

"Beep beep!"

Parked by the roadside, the headlights of a Mercedes-Benz S-Class AMG lit up!

"Wow, amazing! I can finally come to school in a car! Daddy, you're so amazing!"

Skylar was so happy that she hugged Augustus's face and gave him a big kiss.

Augustus smiled from ear to ear.

Standing by the side, Grayson's little face was at a loss.

The car in front of him was big and new, obviously much better than his family's car.

He immediately became unhappy!

"Daddy, I wanna ride in this kind of car too! Hurry up and change our family's car!"

Wade just arrived when Grayson pointed at Augustus's car and made a fuss.

Wade was embarrassed. "Our car is good enough. Why should we change it?"

"No, I wanna change it! Didn't you say our family is richer than Skylar's? Why do we have to drive this stupid car when Skylar's family is driving a Mercedes? Besides, don't you sell Mercedes? Why can't we buy one? I want one! I want one!"

"Buy your foot! I'll smack you if you continue to make a fuss!"

Wade snapped angrily and looked at Augustus with eyes full of fear.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cross…"

"It's fine. Children are like that."

Then, he carried Skylar and got into the car.

From a distance, they heard the sound of Grayson crying.

Wade was also quite unlucky today. Because of the rain, someone collided their car with his, and poor Grayson had to walk home with Wade in the rain.

Augustus naturally would not stick his nose into another person's business. On the way back, Skylar was in a constant state of excitement, fiddling with the seat and telling Augustus to play the music. It was clear how elated she was.

Seeing the joy on her face, the corners of Augustus's mouth raised in a smile.

As long as his daughter was happy, he felt like anything was worth doing!

Ten minutes later, in Felix District.

After Jeanne parked her car, she was about to go upstairs when she got home.

At that moment, a voice called out to her.

"Jeanne, you really kept us waiting!"

Jeanne turned around and saw two figures, one of which was her cousin, Carter Harrington.

Standing beside Carter was a beautiful lady.

She wore a tight red dress, displaying her enchanting figure to the fullest. Her long and snowy-white legs were even more eye-catching, peeking through the slit of her skirt..

This hot body could only be described with one word: alluring.

This woman was the daughter of Jeanne's third uncle, and also Jeanne's cousin. Her name was Iris Harrington.

Iris was very beautiful and was definitely considered a stunning woman. However, she could not be compared to Jeanne.

Because of this, Iris had always regarded Jeanne as her enemy, feeling like Jeanne stole her limelight.

Seeing Carter and Iris appearing together, Jeanne could not help but frown.

Although these two people were her cousins, they both saw her as a thorn in their flesh. Nothing good would come out of them appearing at the same time.

"Do you need something?"

Iris smiled. "Of course. I'm here today to get the official seal of the sales department from you!"

"The official seal?"

Carter sneered and said, "Grandma has ordered Iris to take your place as the director of the sales department in Harrington Corp!"

"What…"

Jeanne froze.

Iris did not even work hard in school and only studied until junior college. With that kind of diploma, she was not even qualified to be a sales manager in Harrington Corporation, but now she was going to take Jeanne's place!

"Hahaha, I bet you didn't expect this, Jeanne. So what if you worked hard when you were in school? You'll still have to answer to me now!"

Now that Iris finally had a chance to trample Jeanne under her feet, she naturally would not let go of the opportunity to kick her while she was down.

"Your dividends were cut and your bank cards were frozen. Is it hard living life with no money?"

"It was you?"

"Yep, it was me who suggested to Grandma to freeze your bank cards. You and that useless husband of yours almost made Harrington Corp lose their foothold in Halmont City. This is considered a light punishment!"

Iris's face was filled with the pleasure of getting revenge.

"Jeanne, we're still cousins after all. You must be very poor now that your dividends have been cut and you're demoted. If you really don't have any money, you have to tell us! Don't try to be courteous!"

"That's right, we can still afford to lend you one or two thousand! Hahaha…"

Carter and Iris were extremely pleased with themselves.

At that moment.

"Beep beep beep!"

A piercing horn rang aloud as the latest model of the Mercedes S-Class AMG slowly approached.. The brightness blinded Carter and Iris as the headlights shone on them.
