Chapter 0361
“Damn that little girl, and damn Alexander!”
The MPV roared along the outskirts of the highway, with Carmela sitting in the passenger seat furious.
“We were so close to succeeding. The old lady had spoken, but it was all because of that brat. Olivia. If
she hadn’t cried and made a scene, Susanne would’ve agreed!”
What was the big deal about setting boundaries anyway? Without Susanne, she would still survive!
“Mom, don’t worry.” Cirroc drove the MPV, his teeth grinding. “Once I join Harmony Group, I’ll work
hard, become the regional manager, become the general manager, and bring down New Chesire
Group!
“I’ve been promoted quickly recently. In less than half a year, I can enter the mayor of Ol‘ Mare’s office
and become a prominent figure beside Mister Christian.”
Gavin’s eyes were bloodshot, tightly clenching his fists. “During the old lady’s 80th birthday. Mister
Christian personally celebrated. Wasn’t the relationship between the Chesire family and Mister
Christian rather amicable? When I get into the mayor’s office, you’ll see how I’ll bring them down! In the
face of power, wealth is nothing-”
The words were only halfway spoken when they stopped. His pocket vibrated with the buzzing of his
phone, indicating an incoming call.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGavin took out his phone and checked the caller ID. “The mayor’s office?”
He quickly answered the call with a respectful air. “Hello, this is Gavin…”
Before he could finish, an exceptionally stern middle–aged man’s voice interrupted him. “I know you
are Gavin! By the order of the mayor, all your positions are relieved, and your reemployment
qualifications are canceled.
“You should fend for yourself from now on.”
The call ended abruptly.
Wait, what was happening?!
Gavin held the phone as if he had lost his soul. His mouth opened and closed, but he could not
produce a sound.
He knew who the man on the phone was–the real power figure in the mayor’s office, in charge of
personnel arrangements for the entire city of Ol‘ Mare, representing the authority of the mayor.

“This can’t be reall This can’t be
Gavin felt a chilling sensation throughout his body, growing more frightened as he thought about it.
Trembling, he desperately dialed another number, forcing
a smile.
“Hey, Tom, it’s me, Gavin! I wanted to ask you something, see. I’ve been promoted three levels in a row
in the past half month. Weren’t you saying that Mister Christian wanted to transfer me to the mayor’s
office? But Just now…”
His words were interrupted again.
On the phone, a man named Tom chuckled softly and said, “Gavin, do you lack common sense? If it
weren’t for New Chesire Group, how could Mister Christian have noticed you?! Don’t you
understand the situation after what happened today? Also, don’t call me again, or I’m blocking you!
The call ended, and all Gavin could hear was the beeps that indicated their conversation was
done.
Gavin sat in the back seat of the MPV. His whole body felt cold as if plunged into an ice cellar. The
color started to drain from his lips.
His promotion in position was all because of New Chesire Group?! The outcome, however…
Thinking about this, he almost fell into madness, shouting at Cirroc repeatedly, “Go back! Drive back
immediately! We have to find Alexander and Patrick! You must apologize to them immediately…”
His words were once again Interrupted.
Cirroc drove, just turning the steering wheel when the car’s central control screen lit up. displaying a
contact named ‘Manager of Harmony–Mister Guntor‘, who was calling.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mister Guntor!” Cirroc shivered and quickly pressed the answer button on the intelligent steering
wheel. “It’s me, Cirroc!” he greeted flatteringly. “Do you need something? …”

Mister Guntor’s voice came mercilessly through the car audio. “Harmony Group is a partner of New
Chesire Group. We have a mutually beneficial relationship, advancing and retreating together.
“As for your employment offer, we retract It. Harmony Group will never hire you! Oh, by the way, I’ll also
inform you that everyone within Ol‘ Mare will no longer want to be associated with your family. Don’t
ask me why; the answer is classified!”
Ther
call ended, and the car’s central control screen went pitch black.
Retracted Retracted…” Cirroc stiffened, slowly parking the car on the side of the road. He
faces pale with despair as they saw it in each other’s eyes.

Should they apologize to Amber’s family when they go back? Perhaps they would not even be
allowed through the door.
Even if they were brain–dead, they understood that the moment they severed ties with Susanne,
their fate was sealed.
Their whole family was finished.
