“Well, of course, after all, you are Mr. Humphrey’s brother, and for the sake of Mr. Humphrey’s reputation, we still have to give a little.”
Anton lightly chuckled as he swirled his glass, his voice faintly tinged. with a hint of sarcasm.
Winston remained silent and simply tightened the hand at his side.
I took a slight breath and smiled at them, saying, “Mr. Schultz, Mr. Esparza, actually, our Mr. Humphrey is also very talented. Reynaldo just succeeded earlier, but it doesn’t mean that Mr. Humphrey cannot be successful.”
“Is it so?”
Suddenly, a familiar soft laughter came from the entrance.
My heart trembled fiercely, and I suddenly lifted my head…
I saw Reynaldo, wearing a suit with a leather collar, coming in from outside.
The man exuded an air of nobility, with a hint of authority and. aloofness in his cold and distant gaze.
He looked at me with a light smile, his lips slightly curved with a hint of mockery.
I was stiff all over, from head to toe, and felt cold.
What happened?

How could Reynaldo have appeared?
Wasn’t Johnathan the biggest investor? Why did Reynaldo come instead?
I mechanically looked at Winston.
Winston lowered his eyebrows and squinted, making it difficult to discern his expression.
So who can tell me why it was said that I would discuss investment with Johnathan, but now it has become Reynaldo?
At this moment, I wanted to escape, but my feet felt as if they had grown roots and couldn’t lift a step.
As soon as Reynaldo arrived, the other two executives also respectfully stood up to greet him.
The two bosses didn’t dare to sit down until he had taken his seat.
It can be seen that he now holds a dominant position in the business world.
Reynaldo glanced at me and chuckled lightly at Winston, “Is she… your newly hired secretary?”
The word “secretary” came out of his mouth, carrying deep meaning.
I tightened my grip on the hand by my side and said to him, “It’s not what you think.”
Reynaldo chuckled lightly, his gaze towards me was icy cold.
true word in your mouth!”
He said, “Esmeralda, there wasn’t a single true word in

That tone, filled with utmost disappointment, anger, and sarcasm, felt like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into my heart.
I took a deep breath uncomfortably and said to him, “Many times I told you the truth, but you didn’t believe me.”
He gave a light sigh, exhaled smoke, which was his even more mocking sneer.
The two bosses glanced at him, then glanced at me, and then whispered to each other in discussion.
The murmurs of astonishment and anticipation could be faintly heard.
“I suddenly remembered, this woman seems to be Mr. Humphrey’s ex- wife, right?”
“Yeah, I didn’t notice it earlier either, but how did Mr. Humphrey’s ex- wife end up working for him again?”
“You still don’t understand this. Before this woman married Mr. Humphrey, it seems like she had some unclear relationship with him. Now that she has divorced Mr. Humphrey, she naturally rushed to him.”
“Wow, she was really bold. Isn’t this equivalent to provoking Mr. Humphrey?”
“Yeah, you’re right. The way Mr. Humphrey looked at her, it was as if he wanted to tear her into pieces.”
“Huh, Mr. Humphrey’s ex–wife got involved with Mr. Humphrey’s younger brother. Now, there’s some drama to watch.”
Bang!

Reynaldo carelessly placed the glass on the table, his voice not loud, but it definitely startled the two whispering individuals.
The two of them hurriedly smiled at Reynaldo and said, “Mr. Humphrey, we really didn’t expect it to be you at this investment negotiation meeting. Nice to meet you.”
The two of them spoke and respectfully raised their glasses to Reynaldo.
Reynaldo casually lifted his glass, but his icy gaze remained fixed on
me.
If looks could kill, I would have died a thousand times.
Winston laughed and said to Reynaldo, “Yeah, bro, I remember inviting Mr. Dunlap from Crown Group. I wonder why he didn’t come and instead asked you to come?”
What does it mean?
So Winston didn’t know in advance that it would be Reynaldo who was coming?
Reynaldo chuckled softly and sarcastically remarked, “Doesn’t little. brother know that Johnathan is the president of Crown Group, and I am the hidden boss behind the scenes?”
Just like you and Mr. Pruitt, one is the president of Clicks Media on the surface, and the other is the big boss behind Clicks Media.
I think you were very familiar with this operation, Second Brother.
I looked at Winston, and I was already feeling a bit confused in my mind.

Remembering how persistently he tried to persuade me to invest, a chill ran through my heart.
Did he really not know that Reynaldo is the big boss of Crown Group?
