After helping Aunt Linda clean the house in the morning and having a simple breakfast as usual, Charles Wellington went to work at the Logan's family company.
Yvonne and her father were the bosses of the company, so they had flexible working hours, which Charles Wellington couldn't compare with.
After leaving the villa area, Charles looked around on the roadside and found that there was no car waiting for him.
It seemed that what Melissa Quinton said yesterday about picking him up for work was just a joke.
Charles couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that Melissa Quinton would pester him.
Although Melissa had a pretty face, a good figure, and was a good choice for having children, unfortunately, she was the fiancée of his so-called "brother," Maxwell Wellington.
Charles Wellington was not afraid of his brother Maxwell, nor did he care about the power of the Wellington family. He just...didn't want to have any entanglements with that family.
Some people are better off not seeing each other and not bothering each other.
Half an hour later, he arrived at the company and started his security work.
However, what Charles didn't expect was that after he arrived at the company, he found that everyone was talking about the downfall of the Crimson Reapers gang and the imprisonment of Victor LaGraine.
"Brother Charles, have you heard?"
"The troublesome Crimson gang is finished!"
"The popularly known Grim Reaper was beaten to death on the spot."
"I heard from my friend at the police station that Victor LaGraine claimed that he killed the Grim Reaper himself."
Upon seeing Charles Wellington, Wallace Thompson and the rest immediately came to tell him the news.
Charles just smiled faintly, not interested in these rumors and speculations.
"By the way, now that the Crimson Reapers gang has fallen, Tristan Group should not dare to provoke us anymore, right?" Charles asked.
"Boss Charles, you also know about the conflict between us and the Tristan Group?" Wallace was slightly surprised.
These things were only known to the top management of the group.
Charles Wellington has only been here for only one day, and he already knows about these things.
"Oh, I just heard about it," Charles explained.
Wang Kaixuan and the others did not delve into it, just shaking their heads and saying,
"I think it's still uncertain. Marcel Ridge, the CEO of Tristan Group, has a wide network. Although the Crimson Reapers gang has fallen, he may still find other ways to deal with us."
"Since ancient times, the business world is like a battlefield."
"As companies in the pharmaceutical industry, the medical market Orange county is only so big. If we make more money, they will make less money."
"Marcel Ridge wants to monopolize the pharmaceutical industry in Orange county. If he doesn't destroy us, he won't stop."
"Oh, really?" Charles Wellington thought that after dealing with the Crimson gang and avenging Yvonne's grandfather, this matter would be over.
However, it seemed that there would be more to come.
.......
In the afternoon, Yvonne Logan and her father james Logan came to the company.
Since Victor LaGraine and his Crimson Reapers gang had fallen, the father and daughter were in an unusually good mood, looking radiant.
But as soon as they arrived at the company's entrance, they ran into Charles Wellington and his group who had just come back from lunch.
"Charles sorry about today. I spilled wine on you by accident," Wa apologized with regret to Charles Wellington, not noticing Yvonne Logan who was looking over.
Charles immediately signaled to him and snatched the tissue to wipe Wallace Thompson's coat.
Only then did Wallace Thompson notice Yvonne Logan and her father. He straightened up and, with a bossy tone, scolded Charles Wellington.
"You little brat, be more careful when offering a toast in the future!"
After lecturing Charles, Wallace and his group quickly went over to greet Yvonne and her father.
"Did you drink alcohol?"
Yvonne ignored them and looked directly at Charles Wellington, who still reeked of alcohol.
Charles was about to explain, but Yvonne Logan cut him off.
"It is against company rules to drink during work hours. You will be fined 12,000 dollars, deducted from your salary."
After speaking, Yvonne walked into the company without looking back, leaving Charles behind with a helpless expression.
"Boss Charles, why didn't you explain?" Leonard Jefferson and the others were anxious.
"We were the ones who drank the wine. The wine on your clothes was spilled by us" Wallace Thompson explained.
"Never mind, let her keep it. After all, it's her family's money." Charles didn't care about these things. He never intended to take the salary in the first place.
In the CEO's office.
Gwen Ryder was organizing documents for the board meeting later.
"Hahaha, it's really satisfying! That damn Crimson Reapers gang, daring to kidnap the three of us, got what they deserved?"
"I just wonder who the hero who saved us from the bloodbath at Crimson Reapers gang is?" Gwen Ryder was happily chatting while organizing the documents.
"Alright, it's time for work. I'm going to the board meeting. You go to the finance department later and deduct ten thousand dollars from my salary to give to Charles Wellington." Yvonne Logan got up as she prepared to leave for the meeting room.
Gwen was puzzled.
"Why are you giving that stinking country bumpkin money?"
"It's a way of making up for what I did." Yvonne replied back.
Although she disliked Charles Wellington, she didn't listen to him when he came to pick her up last night, and even drove him away. Later, something happened.
Now, she felt a little guilty.
She decided to pay the fine for him to make up for it.
"Damn it! Why do you have to feel guilty about to a wild boy from the countryside? I really don't understand you..." Gwen's voice sounded confused, but Yvonne Logan had already walked away.
The board meeting of the group was held on time.
This meeting was initiated by James Logan and his daughter, mainly to discuss the supply contract of the Orange county city Hospital.
"This supply contract is the key project of our group this year, and is expected to bring huge profits to our group. This project is fully supervised and managed by the company's CEO Yvonne Logan. I just hope that all departments and directors can actively cooperate with Yvonne's work."
The chairman of the Logan Group, James Logan gave a speech, stating that the focus of the group's work will be on this project.
"Mr chairman, as far as I know, Tristan Group is also interested in the supply contract of the city hospital, right?"
"Tristan Pharmaceutical is one of the top pharmaceutical companies in our city, a giant in the industry. Chairman Marcel Tristan Ridge is also a prominent figure in the city with great influence. Isn't it unwise to compete with them for the project?"
"At that time, I'm afraid that our Logan Group will be completely suppressed by Tristan Group, and may even be forced to bankruptcy."
Several board members voiced their opinions.
"I suggest that we transfer this contract to Tristan Group for free. This way, we can avoid being suppressed and also sell a favor to Tristan Group. Why not?" said a young man.
This person was no other than Logan Zachary, the newly appointed general manager of the group, the grandson of Logan Group's second founder, Dennison Logan.
"Zachary, what are you talking about?. This supply contract was obtained by my grandfather at the cost of countless time, money, and effort. And now, you want us to give it away for free?. Don't you think it's ridiculous?" Yvonne Logan suppressed her anger.
Zachary shook his head.
"You have a narrow-minded view. You only see the immediate benefits, but you don't see the long-term crisis that our group will face. Do you really think that if the Crimson Reapers gang falls, Marcel Ridge will have no way to deal with our Logan Group? If this contract angers Marcel Tristan Ridge and leads to significant harm and loss to our company, how will President Yvonne explain it to our directors and shareholders?"
Logan Zachary smiled, but his words were aggressive.
Yvonne Logan was so angry that she trembled. Her uncle and cousin didn't give her any face at all, and even openly called her a woman.
Indeed, the other directors began to hesitate.
At this moment, Yvonne stood up and said.
"In front of all the board of directors, I, Yvonne Logan make a military order. I will take full responsibility for this supply contract, no matter what consequences it brings to our group."
"Good! I hope that if something goes wrong, CEO Yvonne Logan will take the initiative to resign." Logan Zachary sneered.
Yvonne ignored him, snorted, and left.
........
On the other side, outside the prison where Victor LaGraine was detained, a luxury car stopped.
The door opened, and Marcel Ridge got out of the car and went straight to the prison.
"Mr Ridge, the bail process has been completed. You can take Victor LaGraine with you now," the prison manager said politely to Marcel Tristan Ridge.
"Thank you. This is my business card. If you need anything in the future, feel free to contact me."
Marcel nodded and handed over a business card.
Then, under the guidance of the staff, they prepared to take Victor LaGraine out of there.
Although the headquarters of the Crimson Reapers gang had been bloodied, most of its members were still there. As long as he could rescue Victor LaGraine and call on them, there was no reason why they couldn't rebuild the Crimson Reapers Gang.
"LaGraine, you've suffered these past few days. I've sorted out all the connections for you. Come back with me, and I'll help you rebuild the Crimson Reapers gang" Marcel Ridge said in a deep voice outside the cell, looking at Victor LaGraine sitting in the corner with disheveled hair and a dirty face.
He had thought that Victor LaGraine would be extremely excited to hear that he was going to regain his freedom and would be grateful to him.
However, to everyone's surprise, Victor LaGraine refused.
"'m not going out. I'll stay here. I'm not going anywhere."
"You...you're not leaving?" Marcel Ridge was stunned.
He even suspected that Victor's brain had been damaged by someone.
Who would want to stay in jail?
"I'm not leaving. I killed someone, and I'm turning myself in. I want to go to jail." Victor LaGraine insisted.
Marcel was so angry that he clenched his fists.
"Damn it, how much money did I spend to get you out? And now you're telling me you're not leaving? How can it be up to you?. Guys, drag him out for me!"
Marcel Ridge ordered.
Two of his men immediately went in to try to take Victor LaGraine away by force.
But surprisedly Victor LaGraine held onto a pillar inside and refused to come out.
In the end, Marcel Tristan Ridge had no choice but to leave and come back in a few days to check on him.
"Damn it! I've never seen such a stupid person before!"
In the car, Marcel Tristan Ridge cursed in anger.
"Boss, don't you think something's strange? Even fools know that it's better outside than in prison these days" one of his men said.
"But Victor LaGraine refuses to come out. Do you think it's because there's something outside of prison that scares him more?" another speculated.
Marcel narrowed his eyes. He also thought it was possible.
The current state of Victor LaGraine's mental health was clearly due to fear.
But what kind of ruthless person could scare a terrorist gang butcher who had been in the underground world and had taken dozens of lives in his hands?
"Have you found any leads on the force that wiped out the Crimson Reapers gang?" Marcel Ridge asked one of his subordinates.
His subordinate shook his head.
"No boss. The police are still investigating."
"Never mind that for now. The contract with the city hospital is important. I've arranged to meet with the Lance family tonight. Book a high-end hotel and find a few college girls to come along" Marcel Ridge said.
"As long as the Lance family speaks up tonight, the Logan Group will be finished. Are they trying to compete with me? Logan James and daughter are still too inexperienced!"
Marcel Ridge's pupils flickered with a cold light.
He had been eyeing the supply contract with the city hospital for a long time, and he was determined to snatch it away from the Logan Group no matter what.
