Just then, Chadâs phone started ringing.
He looked at his phone screen and realized that it was a call from his uncle, Douglas Hunter. His heart
dropped to his stomach.
Chad knew that Douglas was the actual general manager of Sunshine Co.. He only bluffed in front of
Heather a while ago.
âIf Uncle is calling me now, does that mean this punk had actually called him?â
He took a glance at Nicholas, but didnât dare to not answer his uncleâs call.
After picking it up, he said respectfully, âUncleâ¦â
Right after that, a loud and harsh scolding came from the other line. âChad, you f*cking piece of shit!
What are you trying to pull out there? Have you offended someone? You better kneel before Mr.
Hudson and the people in front of you and beg for forgiveness so they would reconsider acquiring
Sunshine Co.! If you donât, Iâd break both your legs! You know Iâm a man of my word!â
âU-Uncle, you⦠Youâre joking, right?â
âWho the f*ck has the time to joke around with you? Give me your location right now! Iâll be there as
fast as I possibly can!â
Chad was shocked. He knew his uncleâs temper well it was true that he was just as cruel to family
when heâs mad.
âIf he said heâd break my legs, heâd actually do it.â
After Chad told him his location, Douglas hung up immediately.
Chad choked as he turned to look at Nicholas and Alex. He stuttered. âW-Who are you people?â
At that moment, Chloe was done being a mere spectator and spoke up. âMr. Hunter, you may not know
this, but the acquisition of Sunshine Co. has not been approved yet. Thereâs another corporation
competing against you. But it seems that Sunshine Co. has no chance against them now.â
Heather was shocked. âChloe, how did you know about this?â
Chloe relied. âAunt, do you know where Iâm currently working at?â
Heather had no idea and turned to look at her sister, Scarlett.
Scarlett said, âChloeâs working in Lush Cosmetics.â
Heatherâs mouth was agape. âLush Cosmetics? Is it the Lush Cosmetics that had Daya in their
commercials?â
Chloe nodded. âYep!â
Heatherâs eyes widened. âReally? But thatâs Lush Cosmetics! A bottle of their cream sells for hundreds
of thousands! You actually work there? Wait, but what does this have to do with Sunshine Co.?â
Chloe shook her head. âIt does. Lush Cosmetics is the company that was hoping to acquire their
company. The inspector of Sunshine Co. is my boyfriend. And this man⦠Heâs Alex Rockefeller, my
boss and the young director of Lush Cosmetics.â
The formal introduction shocked Heather and Chad to their core.
Scarlett and her husband were so shocked that they stood up as well, not knowing where to place their
hands. They didnât expect their daughterâs boss to attend her birthday celebration.
Twenty minutes later, a man rushed over hurriedly. Without hesitation, he slapped Chad across the
face. âYou bastard! Kneel down right now!â
