Chapter 949
Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Adler, with a sly grin, said, âRemember when heâd ignore me if I asked for a document? Now, his wife tells him to manage the company, and heâs all in!â
âWell, they are married, after all.â
Jenna then turned to Colby, âHey Colby, Grandpaâs still not done planning the wedding. He insists on having the ceremony first, then the registration.
He wants it to be grand. Thatâs how the Costello family shows its respect.â
Colby sighed, âI just want to get the registration over with. He needs to hurry up, or Iâll take over the wedding planning myself.â
âNo way! Grandpaâs been looking forward to this. If you take it away from him, he might throw a fit in public, and heâs seventy! You really wanna risk that?â
Colby felt a headache coming on. He shouldnât have let Grandpa handle the wedding plans in the first place. Now, the wedding plans were holding up the registration.
Sophie reassured him, âRelax. Weâve got a lot on our plate right now. Do you really think we wonât make it to the wedding day?â
âItâs different. Iâll handle it myself and make sure you have the wedding of the century.â
Sophieâs face lit up with a smile at Colbyâs words.
The romantic atmosphere between them, as if surrounded by floating pink bubbles, was too much for Jenna. She finally said, âShould we leave you two lovebirds alone?â
Just then, a knock came from the office door. âItâs me, can I come in?â
Recognizing Julianâs voice, Sophie replied, âCome in.â
Julian entered, followed by Booker.
The Julian standing before them now was a far cry from the trainee he was a few months back. He radiated a mature and seasoned demeanor.
Seeing the room full of people, Julian hesitated, âUh... did I come at a bad time?â
Adler quickly raised his hand, âOh, thatâs on me. I invited them. Wasnât the Cloude family always under Ricardoâs thumb? But after he signed off on a massive debt he couldnât repay, the board voted him out. Now, Julian here is the new CEO of the Cloude family. Plus, weâve got a long-term partnership with them now. We've gone from foes to friends, turning the tide!â

ï¤Chapter 948 Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace)
ï¤Chapter 782 Previously, the Cloude family and S Corporation were at each otherâs throats. But Sophie had played her cards right, replacing Ricardo with Julian.
Julian turned to Sophie, âI owe it all to you. Without your training, I couldnât have taken over the Cloude family so quickly.â
Jenna, puzzled, asked, âBut didnât you always want to be famous? And now youâre a top-tier celebrity. Are you really giving that up to run the Cloude family?â
Julian paused before answering, âMs. Sophie was right. Being a star, constantly in the spotlight, just makes you a moneymaking tool for others.
Youâre forced to do things you donât want to do, take jobs you donât want. But by becoming a major player, I can clean up the industry. I want to be in control, to make a change and fix the chaos in this business.â
