Kevan was not marginalized because of that. On the contrary, everyone wanted to curry favor with him.
Dylan knew that once Kevan had decided on something, no one could convince him to give up. Either way, he still tried and did exactly what a good friend would have done. This was as far as he could go.
But there was one more thing â
âWhy am I the one to remind Sharon? Itâs not like you donât have her phone number!â Dylan lost his temper.
Kevan said lightly. âSheâs your fiancée, not mine. If you donât want to remind her, then forget it. I wonât even need to give out the timeframe
of hall a month, which is even better.â
Without waiting for Dylan to react. Kevan ended the video call
Dylan was so mad that he was gritting his teeth and shouted several strings of profanity. He sulkily called Sharonâs number after he had calmed down.
The next day at work, Larissa was summoned by the general manager. He was waiting for her in his office, rubbing his hands with an
unnatural smile on his face.
Larissaâs heart skipped a beat and she immediately became highly alert
âI heard about what happened last night.â The general manager put out a look of concem. âYouâve suffered a grievance, and itâs natural for you to seek justice. I do support you, butâ He paused, looking a little uncomfortable. âYou are the hotelâs housekeeping manager as well as my choice of candidate to succeed in my position. I hope you can take the hotel into consideration, Summer Entertainment has collaborated with Regal Dynasty for several years and is one of our biggest clients. The annual profit they create for us is quite significant
Larissa could not be bothered to mince words with him. âMr. Compton, just tell me what you want me to do.â
The general manager inhaled and lowered his gaze, probably out of regret.
âMr. Cole came to me early in the morning and said that he wanted to settle things with you privately.
He is willing to pay you a huge compensation as long as you agree to withdraw your lawsuit.â
âHow much is he willing to pay? Larissa was interested,
Jay had been unwilling to pay live million for the dowry then. This time she wanted to see how much Jay thought his biological sonâs
future was worth.
This question stumped Mr. Compton.
I donât knowâ he said. âYouâd have to discuss it with Mr. Cole.â
Larissa really went to find Jay
Jay was rather generous. âName your price.â
Larissa made an exorbitant demand. âFive billon.â She just heard from Dylan last night that Microworks paid five billion in compensation for all the top talents they had pilfered from Summer Entertainment.
Jayâs expression shifted immediately, but he did his best to contain his rage.
âI really canât take out five billion for you. How about this. He negotiated with her. âI pay you 50 million, alright?â
Larissa got up to leave. âMr. Cole, if youâre not sincere and are not capable of paying, then donât ask to discuss this with me. I canât afford to waste your precious time.â
âLarissa!â Jay quickly caught up with her, âCanât you let Dorian off for the sake of your aunt and Mr.
Seymour?â
Larissa laughed. âIl I really did do it for their sakes, I would have made Reuben stay in jail forever! Also, Mr. Cole, Iâm aware of your familyâs trivial matter. If you continue to harass me or force my superior to pressure me, I Texpose your sonâs true identity. By then-â She dragged out the last word. âYour reputation must be even worse than before, hmm âYourâ Jayâs eyes widened from his glare as his face began to twitch from his fury.
âYou can complain about me to Mr. Compton or threaten him with never collaborating with our hotel ever again.â Larissa straightened up. litting her chin. Her attitude was neither humble nor submissive.
Im not afraid. The worst that could happen to me is to get fired. youâre capable of doing so, feel free to let every single company in the country know that they should never ever hire me.â
