Alice shouted, "Are you brainless or something? All you do is eat."Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Robert sneered in agreement and chimed in, "Don't think that just because you've earned Mr. Miller's trust, you can act all high and mighty."
He continued, "Mr. Miller has a complex background and connections with some shady people. If something goes wrong, not only will you gain nothing, you might even end up in serious trouble."
Jerome nodded. He took on the tone of an elder and began to lecture Yolanda, "Exactly! This isn't the old days. We live in a society governed by laws now. Associating with people like Mr. Miller won't benefit you.
"Sticking to the right path is what truly matters. In my opinion, Daniel won't stay powerful for long. He might offend the authorities and have his business shut down.
"If you want to establish yourself in Riverdale City, you need to be practical, like Robert, and get a job at a legitimate company....."
Hearing this, Robert's expression softened a bit. He glanced at Yolanda with a hint of smugness and said, "You bumpkin, you don't understand anything at all."
Joe had recently secured an order from the Miller Group. Hearing the Lawson family talk this way made him uncomfortable.
However, he found Yolanda distasteful, especially after she had become arrogant since getting close to Daniel. Despite this, he chose not to speak up.
Paul saw an opportunity to strike while Yolanda was down. "Anyway, you're going to drop out soon. You'd better think about what you're going to do next.
"If you continue to drag on like this, you'll only embarrass the Hendersons. If Grandma decides to expel you from our family, don't expect us to plead for you!"
When Daniel and the others had left earlier, they hadn't closed the door to the private room.
As Paul finished speaking, Robert's peripheral vision caught sight of a group of people in the corridor outside.
Upon seeing the middle-aged man at the head of the group, he immediately stood up. He rushed to the door in three quick steps.
"Mr. Liddell, what a coincidence!"
Yolanda turned her gaze toward the door upon hearing this.
She saw that the man entering the hotel with a group was none other than Samuel, the greasy middle-aged man who had

Today, Samuel was impeccably dressed.

Despite his high-end suit, Samuel still had a greasy appearance. The plaster cast on his arm made him look even more ridiculous.
Yolanda frowned in distaste and quickly averted her gaze.
Meanwhile, Robert tried to keep his

tone respectful and polite. "I didn't expect to run into you here, Mr Liddell. I'm grateful for your recognition. I wonder if you have
time to join me for a meal?" Content

The relatives in the private room noticed Robert's gesture and set down their cutleries.
They cast approving glances at Robert's behavior. His rapid rise to the position of HR manager was closely tied to his social skills.
Samuel glanced at Robert with mild disinterest. "Robert? Oh, it's you..."
He seemed uninterested in Robert's invitation. Just as he was about to decline the invitation, he noticed Yolanda near the door.
Samuel's expression sharpened, and he straightened his back immediately.
His previous expression changed instantly from disdain to enthusiastic friendliness. He quickly took a few steps and entered the private room.
Robert assumed Samuel had
accepted his invitation and eagerly moved to show him to the main seat. He even introduced him to Alice
and the others. "This is
Mr.
Liddell, the manager of the Fusion Group's branch. He's also my direct supervisor." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
At this moment, Neil and Elena puffed out their chests, showing off their pride.
Joe even approached Samuel, ready to shake his hand.
However, to his surprise, Samuel didn't glance in his direction. Instead, he walked straight over to Yolanda.
In the next moment, under everyone's astonished gaze, Samuel awkwardly shuffled his large, clumsy body and bowed respectfully to Yolanda.
