Chapter 116 Modesty Will Pay Off

“I… I really don’t know…”

Joshua was embarrassed.

Alexia explained, “I thought you knew. The keys to the villa and the ownership certificate are kept in the drawer on your left.”

Joshua opened the drawer.

Sure enough, there was a chain of keys lying inside. Just by looking at it, Joshua knew it must be high- end.

Below the keys was the ownership certificate.

Joshua felt awkward.

He often used the drawer on the right side and did not notice the things in the left drawer.

Why was Alfred able to buy the villa and get the ownership certificate without Joshua appearing?

Joshua did not think much about it. Alfred was powerful and had a lot of connections in New York. He could easily solve that problem.

Alexia introduced, “Fragrance Villa is the most luxurious villa district in New York. It is built on Fragrance Mountain, and the villa area is divided into ordinary villas and sumptuous villas. Ordinary villas are built at the foot of the mountain, and the sumptuous ones are built on the mountainside.

“Of course, the price difference between them is big. The price of an ordinary villa is between 16 to 5 million dollars. But the price of a sumptuous villa is at least 5 million dollars. The highest price is 16

million dollars. And your villa is the most expensive one!”

Joshua was a little shocked. It was 16 million dollars!

Joshua was looking forward to what the most sumptuous villa in New York would look like.

He hoped that it would be able to surprise Pamela.

At the same time, under the building of Maple Properties.

The security captain was patrolling the gate with two security guards.

Because he got familiar with the new president, though he had offended the new president, he was forgiven.

The security captain was very happy about that.

He thought that after he made a few more contributions, he would be more trusted by Joshua, and it would not be a problem for him to get a promotion and a raise.

Then, several young men walked over from the opposite side of the road.

They walked in an arrogant and aggressive way.

Years of work experience told the security captain that those young men weren’t friendly guests.

Therefore, the security captain stood at the door and stopped those people. “What are you doing here?”

These young men were Rayon’s friends.

They found out last night that they were going to become the directors of Leafage Group. Plus, Rayon made them a lot of promises.

So, those people became extremely arrogant.

It felt like they were the most awesome people around.

Therefore, those young men did not take the security captain seriously at all. They replied in a bad tone, “We came to see someone!”

“Who?”

“One of your security guards!”

“What’s his name?”

“Joshua Palmer!”

The captain’s pupils contracted slightly. He immediately became alert and asked, “Why do you want to see him?”

Maxton looked up and down at the security captain. “You are just a security guard. It’s none of your business. Just call him out quickly!”

“Sorry, you are not my boss. I don’t have to listen to you!”

“Damn it!”

Maxton shook his neck and deliberately made sounds with his bones, threatening, “I’ll count to three. If you don’t hand over Joshua, we will break in and find him. You’ll be the ones in trouble by then!”

The security chief said lightly, “I will also count to three, Go back to where you came from. This is Maple Properties, not a place where you can make a mess!”

“Damn you!”

Maxton spat on the ground, waved his hand, and beckoned his friends behind him to break in.

At the same time, one of the fellows behind the security captain had already called for other security guards to come over to support them through the interphone.

The security guards came very quickly.

Almost 20 of them gathered in an instant, each of them tall and strong.

Seeing that, Maxton was a little afraid. His face turned pale. He explained in a panic, “Guys… This is just a misunderstanding. I…”

“Fuck you!” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

The security captain didn’t bother to say anything else and ordered the security guards to beat Maxton and the other young men.

Those young people held their heads and screamed miserably,

After beating them up, a security guard asked, “Captain, how should we deal with these people?”

“Wait for me to make a phone call to the boss and ask.”

The security captain walked to the corner and called Joshua’s office.

After Joshua answered the phone, the captain quickly told him what had happened.

Joshua asked the security captain to detain Maxton as well as the others and let go of them after knowing their real purpose.

Hanging up the phone, Joshua asked Alexia, who was standing opposite him, “By the way, you just said that you have something else to report to me. What is it?”

Alexia replied respectfully, “Here is the thing. I heard some news. The Hill Group and the Windsor family have begun to cooperate recently. The Hill Group has ordered some construction materials they need from the Windsor family, so as to ease the awkward situation where the Windsor family has hoarded too many construction materials to sell. At the same time, the Windsor family gave some of the supplier resources to the Hill family. It seems that they are going to work together against the Leafage Group!”

Joshua snorted, “As I expected, our two enemies have really joined hands. What do you think about this?”

“Currently, the Hill Group and the Windsor family have a lot of influence on the building materials market in New York, especially the Hill Group. After all, they have been in the construction business for a long time. Even if they have not won the bid, they already have a lot of ongoing projects. If they work together against the Leafage Group, many other construction companies will take their side.

“By then, it will bring a huge challenge to the Leafage Group! It is very likely that the newly-integrated company will fall apart!”

“Your answer is very blunt!”

Joshua narrowed his eyes slightly. “Although this is a huge challenge for the Leafage Group. From a different perspective, this is also a good opportunity for the Leafage Group to integrate the entire construction material market in New York. I am looking forward to them making this battle fiercer.”

The Leafage Group.

In the high-level meeting of the group in the morning, an important personnel decision was made.

Rayon became the general manager of marketing.

He happened to take over Keith’s position.

Other higher-ups were very confused about why such a young man was promoted.

But they didn’t dare to question Pamela’s decision.

After all, Pamela, the new president, seemed to be very tough. Several days ago, she defeated Keith, who had to clean the washrooms now. The leadership watched that happen.

At that moment, in the office of the general manager of the marketing department.

Rayon sat on the soft chair and looked at the luxuriously-decorated office. He was so excited.

Rayon quickly took a picture of himself and the office.

He posted it on Timeline and said, “My first job, the general manager! Modesty will pay off! I’ll keep going!”

Soon, Rayon received a lot of likes and comments.

There were all kinds of flattering and envious comments.

Rayon was pleased and placed his feet on the desk.

He whistled happily.

But Rayon was confused about why Maxton and the others didn’t give likes or comments.

Normally, no matter what Rayon posted on Timeline, they would always give likes and comments within five minutes.

Maybe they are teaching that idiot Joshua a lesson!

Rayon thought that to himself.

“I have nothing to do. I can watch porn for fun!”

Rayon logged in and opened a classic video, watching it with relish.

Suddenly, there were sounds from outside.

Someone knocked on the office door.

A sweet female voice came from outside the door. “Mr. Windsor, are you in there?”
