Secret Marriage:The Wolf And The Sheep Chapter 59
Advertisement
As Xie Eun's words reverbated through the silent room,shocked I'm drawn breaths could be heard.The old and upright businessmen could hardly believe that the old chairwoman would stoop to such lengths to place Yeona on the top. Both the girls were her granddaughters and yet she would mercilessly hurt one to give success to the other.Shan Shan turned to look at Yeona and could not help but sneer.This woman had so many tricks up her sleeves. She only knew how to win with her cunningness.Others may not know the truth, but she could detect the hurt that Young Master Si must have left her with..What a despicable man he was..he had seemed so decent and respectable in the past.Shan Shan could only lament that, not all outwardly beautiful people were also beautiful on the inside. After giving everyone a moment to collect their thoughts, Xie Eun grimly continued,"You thought to suppress me and defeat me by using love.But it was love that also saved me.My father was dying and did not wish to leave me alone in the world so he got me married so that I would still have family when he was gone.Today,in fact,is my second marriage anniversary. When the lot of you came to our house,I always wondered why my father did not consider you my family. Why he told me nothing of you.I guess, he was clear on the definition of what constitutes a family. So chairwoman Lu,I have been married much longer than your precious granddaughter...And brand reputation?I wonder how much of a reputation she would have once the fact that she is married is made known.Many brands have strict regulations regarding the relationship status of their ambassadors.If this news is leaked, you can forget getting a litigation, you will be busy paying contract breach fee..and the so called reputation will be dirtier than dirt..A business needs capital to stay in business and goodwill to last long.A fleeting and cheap branding is merely for show and not long lasting.I,on the other hand have brought the much required capital to a presently flailing Lu Enterprises.The name commanded by the Alpha Group of Companies is enough to have all the banks and financial institutions give us loans if we need and all our partners and suppliers who have abandoned us will be lining up at our door.The only drawbackthat I can see is that I have yet to finish my fomal education.I would have asked old chairwoman who is more experienced to guide me but I can see that she would rather not.Anyways, the company is in such straits under her leadership and not really doing that well,so..."

Leaving that sentence unfinished, Xie Eun sat back and stared down at the fuming women..The first person to clap for her was Neil Long, followed by Shan Shan and then the rest.She had made valid points and was clearly aware of her own shortcomings as well as her own strong points.And she could give as good as she got.The older men also felt a glimpse of their old comrade in her.In business,it was not enough to have all this.One should also be able to retaliate well in case of an attack...Yes,old chairwoman Lu had made some bad decisions and risky ventures but who did not do that in business.However,she had also protected the business well these years.Her fierceness had kept the competitors who would have swallowed them when their comrade passed away.Xie Eun had come across as a naive and demure girl to them,last night.But now,they could see that it would be a good decision to pass the stocks in her name.
Lawyer Wen, after the round of applause, cleared his throat and pointedly looked at Lu Yeona."Miss Lu,would you like to add anything to influence the trustee's decision?"
Lu Yeona could only fume and glare at the people before she stood up from her chair,snatched a few papers from the lawyer and left the office in a huff.
Neil Long leaned back in his chair and looked at the little girl.Wolf told him to come save his little lamb..but this one..ha!Poor Wolf...he had found a She-Wolf in sheep's clothing...

The Granddaughter of Time
Teresa Hargrove was okay with giving up. She knew the Earth was doomed and there was nothing to be done about it. What she was not okay with was the Future, an enigmatic woman nearly fanatical in her devotion to making a difference, dragging her along — seemingly, to prove her wrong. It turns out though that the Future is very hard to understand. This story contains heavy themes, including mental illness, existential crisis and death. However, I still tried to eventually convey a message of hope. Several mythical and metaphorical beings in the shape of humans will appear in most chapters. However, they are not meant to be of a specific ethnicity or social background and are instead perceived differently by people around them. For your reading pleasure, feel free to imagine them any way you’d like, even if your imagination contradicts descriptions from the story. Enjoy!~

Magic is a fickle thing, hard to grasp and even harder to truly master. Mana flows through everything in the world, every rock, plant, and human. They all breath, grow and influence their surroundings in their own right.Join Teo, a bright young boy with a gift for Arcane Magic, through his journey to tackle the Elements, master his Craft and climb to the very peak of magic itself.Who will he meet, friends or foes? Trusted companions or bitter rivals? Will he be able to find his answer and get to the real meaning of magic, all while wrestling with the complex laws of nature and his own unripe emotions?There is only one way to find out.The story will start with a few chapters of introductions in volume 1 to establish the characteristics and the nature of the world the characters live in. After that, it will probably become a lot more fast-paced and incorporate real story progression. My goal is to fuse the common magic advancement system in a weak-to-strong fashion, together with elements of naturalism, magic combat action and little bits and pieces of science, wherever necessary, to form a bright and interesting story about a boy chasing his dreams about magic.
