"Actually, I don't consider it a threat. But if that's what makes you happy, then be my guest. Be that way." Edward glanced at Shaun coldly before stepping away from him. It was unnecessary for him to explain to Shaun. It all came down to his own judgement. Shaun, of course, could choose to interpret his words otherwise, but it didn't seem worth the price to pay if he was wrong!

  "Remember what you said today, Edward, because that's what exactly I want to tell you. You'd better pray as hard as you can that you will always be a rich, young CEO, that you can keep your company running smoothly. If you don't, you'll lose everything and live as a dog, working for others, going wherever they kick you." Shaun murmured those words through clenched teeth while staring daggers at Edward's back as the CEO of FX walked away. A wicked smile broke across Shaun's face as if some evil idea had occurred to him.

  Edward paused when Shaun said that. He didn't even turn his head but simply replied,"Don't worry! If I lose everything, so will you." After saying this, he left without hesitation.

  "Damn it! You are not better than me! All you have is your pretty-boy appearance and your money that you got from your parents! Edward, you have nothing. You are nothing. All you have is your mom and dad. You're not worthy to insult me!" Shaun spat and cursed behind Edward's back as he walked away. Compared to Edward, Shaun was destined to be a loser the moment he was born, as a handsome face and a wealthy family would only be fantasies in his mind. He couldn't hold a candle to Edward.

  Luke ran to the CEO as soon as he stepped out of the offices of Kompass Group. His darkened face immediately caught Edward's attention.

  "What's wrong, Luke? You look so worried!" said Edward with a frown. Something must have happened when he was inside the offices of Kompass Group for the meeting. Judging from Luke's expression, it didn't go well.

  "Mr. Mu, we have been misled by Jessica this time. I was informed just now that she planned to attack your parents," Luke said, flustered. He could not help but feel worried for Edward's parents, although he was fully aware that they were safeguarded by the Mayfly guys. In Luke's opinion, Edward's parents were more than just his bosses. In addition to offering him a job, they took care of him and

  ld invest here, both for Shaun's sake. As a businessman, he had to seriously consider the economic environment of H City. He needed to see some return on that investment, as that was by no means a small amount of money. He sincerely hoped that his investment would inject some vitality to this city, which would, of course, make his wallet fatter.

  Jessica never imaged that the shares she acquired were fake. It was true that she'd failed to seduce Shaun and trap him. Instead of taking Jessica's bait, Shaun succeeded in swindling her. Jessica scolded herself for her stupidity. She would have known nothing about the fake shares if she hadn't read the news about the cooperation between FX International Group and Kompass Group. Her confidence in Shaun's trust in her was totally a joke. He played her.

  Edward's predictions came true. She never posed any kind of threat to him. Instead of getting men to surrender through her charms, she ended up being used by them. In Jessica's opinion, this was all Edward and Daisy's fault. But she jumped the gun, and decided on stupid actions without considering the risks. Since it was difficult to teach Daisy a lesson, she changed her plans and set her sights on Edward's parents. The investigation she conducted secretly when she stayed in the city revealed no bodyguards around Edward's parents. They were completely unprotected. Jessica had made ruining Edward the sole purpose of her life, the only thing she could do. She was homeless now. She would never give up her revenge until Edward was homeless too.
