Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO Novel

Chapter 425 Chapter 426 Melvin let out a snort and gave his son a light kick. "Relax. Even I wouldn't go that far as to commit a crime." Joseph chuckled. "Just trying to lighten the mood." "Don't worry, I'd never actually do anything illegal. I'm a law-abiding citizen, you know." Melvin smiled. "You little punk, stop trying to joke your way through everything." "What I want is simple-I'm assigning you a position in the company. You're to start immediately and work from the ground up. One step at a time. No shortents. No slackit" Joseph stood there, stunned.

He couldn't believe it had been resolved so easily. Had he really just reached an agreement with his father like that? If it had been this simple all along, why had things between them become so tense before? That thought made Joseph feel a little guilty. He quickly nodded and promised, "Don't worry, Dad. I know you have your reasons, and I'll take it seriously. I'll work hard." "Then I..." He lowered his head, unsure how to bring it up. Melvin waved him off. "Go. Go find that woman.

And that fancy seafood bisque you picked-what, is it supposed to serve someone as useless as you?" Lucas snapped with his usual venom. Then he realized-why was Leonard still walking beside him? "Wait a minute, why are you still here? You're coming back with me? What exactly are you trying to do?" Lucas let out a sharp laugh, exasperated. Leonard really had some nerve. Chapter 426 No matter how much time passed and where he went, that man was always around. Lucas had reached his limit. He'd seen people with thick skhi, but Leonard? He redefined it.

And what made it worse was that this was supposed to be between him and Aurora. How did Leonard manage to wedge himself into it like he had a place? | + 25 BOHUS Lucas came to a halt, straightened his posture, and looked im dead in the eye. "Do I really need to spell it out for you?" Leonard turned his head, clearly confused. "What exactly are you trying to say?" "You already know, don't you?" Leonard followed his gaze, looking down at himself, then asked, "What am I supposed to know? Stop playing riddles. Just say it." "Fine.

I will." Lucas slowly set down the things in his hands, then stared at Leonard with a rare seriousness. "Aurora and I are family. Your presence here is unnecessary. Worse than that you're in the way. "And you-what place do you think you have in all of this? Lucas' jealousy burst out in full force, and he launched straight into a scathing confrontation.
