"Oh, alright," Leona said as she sat down and picked up the pen to sign the contract.Just as she was about to sign it, she suddenly stopped and looked at Ernie suspiciously."Did Matthias send you?"Leona was not foolish; only Matthias could orchestrate something like this.The thought made her a bit angry, as she did not want to rely on Matthias' influence; she wanted to achieve success on her own."Matthias? Who is Matthias?" Ernie asked, genuinely confused.Victor had not mentioned anyone by that name.However, Ernie was quick on his feet and replied with a smile, "Ms. Whitney, I don't know anyone named Matthias. I'm here to sign the contract not because of you but because Blair's behavior was so awful that I wanted to deal with someone else."As a shareholder of Wealthtrack, signing this contract is like moving my money from one account to another."Just sign the contract. I have other matters to attend to."Ernie sat back in his chair with a haughty expression, though h

"Leona, while you've been doing nothing for the past three years, I've been pushing forward. I'm way ahead of you now!"Blair's tone was laced with disdain, and she felt a surge of satisfaction as she finally avenged the humiliation she felt earlier.Leona bit her lip, obviously affected by Blair's words.She had not been doing nothing for the past three years. In fact, she had worked harder than anyone else, never taking a single day off and juggling multiple part-time jobs!All because she had to hide from the Whitney family while supporting Danielle.Even though it made her life demanding, it was also fulfilling."Honey, is this your colleague? How do you work with someone who has such a foul mouth? It's unbearable!" Matthias chimed in.He put his arm around Leona's shoulder, his gaze coldly fixed on Blair.Blair's expression darkened immediately.She glared at Matthias with contempt and retorted, "Shut up! Who do you think you are to talk to me like that? You're just a nob

A month had passed since Leona started her job, and thanks to Ernie's deal, Blair could not openly trouble Leona anymore.However, Blair still abused her manager's power to make Leona run errands and handle various insignificant tasks.Throughout the month, Leona was burdened with mundane chores in the sales department.Her colleagues also took turns ordering her around, whether fetching packages or taking out the trash.Despite that, Leona held no complaints.The tasks, though tiring in Blair's eyes, were a far cry from the part-time jobs Leona had taken over the past three years.Alpha would also report to Matthias about Leona's situation daily.A few times, Matthias almost retaliated against those mistreating her, even contemplating severe punishment for them and their families.However, he restrained himself as he knew that if he acted out, Leona would not feel grateful but resentful.Their relationship had finally improved, and he did not want to jeopardize it."Remember

Leona's expression remained unchanged as she fixed her gaze on Joseph, her fists clenched tightly."I'm from the Griffin family of Havenwood. You might not know what that means, but let me put it this way—the Wealthtrack Financial Corporation, which seems so powerful to you, is nothing compared to the Griffin family," Joseph said, looking at Leona with disdain.Leona's eyes flickered with a hint of confusion, but she was clearly taken aback.The Griffin family was also one of the top families in Havenwood."Mr. Griffin, since you're from the Griffin family, 150,000 dollars should be a drop in the bucket for you. Why make things difficult for a mere employee like me?" Leona took a deep breath, her face marked with resentment.Joseph laughed. "Of course, 150,000 dollars is nothing to me. Sometimes, my expenses in a single night exceed that amount."Then, he stared at Leona, his gaze intense."Why am I making things difficult for you? Don't you understand?"Leona's eyes widened wi

In his office, Joseph slowly approached the unconscious Leona.His two men stood guard, smirking as they anticipated him to finish quickly so they could enjoy Leona themselves.Joseph had done that many times before, and they had benefited handsomely from associating with him.Suddenly, footsteps echoed down the corridor.Before they could react, a figure swiftly approached.One of them shouted, "Who's there? Are you looking for trouble? Mr. Griffin has important business tonight. If you don't want to die, get lost!"Just as he said that, his eyes widened in shock.The intruder had reached him and had him by the throat!Matthias tightened his grip and kicked the other guy.Within seconds, both of Joseph's men were lifeless.Matthias kicked the door open with force.Joseph had just reached Leona and was about to strip her when the door was kicked open, causing him to freeze in terror."Damn it! Are you trying to get yourself killed? Don't you know I have important business t
