Why are you calling? It&#8217;s late at night. What&#8217;s the matter?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Todd, you are fired. You don&#8217;t have to go to work tomorrow. Just come to the Personnel Department to settle your salary for this month.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Todd was shocked.<\/p>\n<p>He asked doubtfully, &#8220;Mr. Deon, are you kidding? I have been working hard in Eastwood City Storage. Why does the company fire me?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ask yourself. Our president just called to fire you. Think about what you have done. Alright, it&#8217;s enough. I have to inform Louis about his promotion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Deon hung up.<\/p>\n<p>Todd had no chance to say more.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at Bryson again, he was frightened.<\/p>\n<p>The man sitting in the living room who was scolded by him &#8230; was the CEO of the Cordova Group?<\/p>\n<p>While Todd was in a daze, Louis received a call from the director of the Personnel Department.<\/p>\n<p>Todd was desperate.<\/p>\n<p>He fell to his knees in front of Bryson, &#8220;Mr. Bryson, please, please don&#8217;t fire me. I have to raise my parents and kids. I really need this job. Please, let me stay in the company!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bryson looked at him coldly, &#8220;The Cordova Group will never treat any capable employee unfairly. And we also don&#8217;t tolerate irresponsible employees. If you continue to say, you may not only be on our blacklist.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Todd was frightened.<\/p>\n<p>He understood what Bryson meant.<\/p>\n<p>He had no chance to work in the Cordova Group if on the blacklist of the group. But he couldn&#8217;t find any job in Peace City if he was on the blacklist of faithless employees.<\/p>\n<p>He didn&#8217;t dare to beg Bryson anymore. He quickly got up from the ground and left.<\/p>\n<p>After Todd left, Louis looked at Bryson with hesitation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr. Bryson, are you really going to appoint me as the director of Eastwood City Storage?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bryson smiled slightly, &#8220;Do you think you are not competent enough?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Of course not!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just said that the Cordova Group will never treat any capable employee unfairly. Since you have been helping Todd with his work, you are the best candidate for his position.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Louis looked gratefully at Bryson, &#8220;Mr. Bryson, I must work hard and live up to your expectations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Very good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the evening, Audrey, Bryson, and Harold had a very happy time. During the meal, Maria kept giving them food, treating them like her own kids.<\/p>\n<p>When they came out of Maria&#8217;s home, it was dark.<\/p>\n<p>Maria also came out.<\/p>\n<p>Before they got into the car, Maria gave a red envelope to Bryson.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing the red envelope, Bryson frowned and subconsciously wanted to return it.<\/p>\n<p>Maria held down Bryson&#8217;s hand and said, &#8220;Since Audrey&#8217;s mother and grandmother passed away, I can be considered Audrey&#8217;s family. This is your first time visiting us. It&#8217;s our custom to give a red envelope to our son-in-law. Not much money in it. Hope you don&#8217;t mind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey was lost for words.<\/p>\n<p>Bryson withdrew his hand.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thank you, Maria!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My home is Audrey&#8217;s home. Come here often!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Words failed Audrey.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey had always felt that Bryson came here for something else. What Maria said just now was Bryson&#8217;s final goal, right?<\/p>\n<p>Unexpectedly, they met her family like this.<\/p>\n<p>After getting into the car, Audrey frowned and stared at Bryson.<\/p>\n<p>When William saw Audrey, he looked a little embarrassed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Audrey, I have something to ask you!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After that, he entered the reception room. Audrey returned to the room after sending the client off.<\/p>\n<p>Just as she sat down, William said, &#8220;I want you to be my lawyer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey was surprised.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From what I know, your lawyer is Deegan. You want me to be your lawyer. Is that appropriate?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Deegan? He&#8217;s nothing! I don&#8217;t want to see him. You will be my lawyer!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well&#8230;&#8221; Audrey looked embarrassed.<\/p>\n<p>William looked at her unhappily, &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry. I will give you twice as much as what I gave to Deegan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey coughed lightly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr. William, it&#8217;s not about money.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If it&#8217;s not about money, then what&#8217;s the problem?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey hesitated for a moment and said, &#8220;Mr. William, I have accepted another client&#8217;s request. I can&#8217;t be your lawyer. If I accept your case, it will be against my agreement with others.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>William&#8217;s face instantly darkened. He fiercely asked Audrey, &#8220;Who? Who didn&#8217;t allow you to take my case? Is it Blair?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey didn&#8217;t look at him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr. William, don&#8217;t make wild guesses. Anyway, I can&#8217;t accept your case!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although Audrey did not give a clear answer, William looked at her and roughly knew the truth.<\/p>\n<p>He slammed the table.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Blair, you and your father want to ruin my life? If I lose everything, you will be ruined too.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3571","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
