LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Could it be that these two people went to the underground parking lot for a secret meeting? Are they going to have a rendezvous in the car? Or are they leaving the scene, ignoring the numerous guests, and having a secret meeting in the car?

Damn it! They didn’t even take me along!

While Theresa Hale was thinking like this, the top executives of the bank, led by Mr. Stewart, were already shocked beyond belief.

What does it mean…

The position arranged for you by your spouse?

Who is this so-called spouse…

Are you referring to Jun Chester?

Realizing this, Mr. Stewart and the others re-evaluated Theresa Hale.

Today, Theresa Hale was also wearing a cheongsam.

However, unlike Lyvia Harding, Theresa Hale’s cheongsam had blue borders and embroidery!

Everyone present had a refined cultural background.

At this moment, without exception, they all understood one thing.

That is…

The spouse that Theresa Hale just mentioned is undoubtedly Jun Chester!

The reason is simple!

As the ancients said, a person is judged by their clothing!

What does that mean?

In ancient times, the women of prominent households would distinguish their status through their attire.

If they were the legitimate wives, they would wear red clothes.

The concubines were not allowed to wear clothes with red fabric under normal circumstances!

Otherwise, it would be a great disrespect to the legitimate wife.

But there were exceptions.

If the concubine’s son achieved the highest score in the imperial examinations!

On the day of the son’s return, his mother could dress like a legitimate wife, wearing a red outfit!

But only on that day could she dress like that!

This was the concept of “the mother’s status depends on the son’s achievements.”

Although it was a feudal relic, it was a rule that existed in the long river of history!

Now…

Lyvia Harding, who just accompanied Jun Chester to the underground parking lot, was wearing a phoenix cheongsam with a red border.

And in front of them, Theresa Hale.

She was wearing a cheongsam with a blue border and embroidery!

This was enough to indicate…

Theresa Hale had become Jun Chester’s woman!

Realizing this, Nelson Stewart, Mr. Stewart, and his subordinates no longer dared to look at Theresa Hale so brazenly.

Especially for Nelson Stewart.

At this moment.

His emotions became extremely complicated.

He almost wanted to cry.

Jun the Accursed, Jun Chester, had appointed Theresa Hale as the Deputy Chief of the bank…

How could he dare to interfere with her work in the future?

This was Jun the Accursed’s woman!

Jun the Accursed’s woman had become his subordinate?

This…

Was truly terrifying!

Theresa Hale seemed to have seen through Mr. Stewart’s thoughts and smiled warmly.

“Mr. Stewart, don’t take my words to heart. Although Jun Chester arranged for me to join the headquarters, when it comes to work, you can command as you see fit without hesitation. Don’t hold back!”From NôvelDrama.Org.

“In other words, if I don’t perform well at the headquarters, I won’t be able to explain myself to Jun Chester when I go home. If he gets angry, he will truly treat me as nothing. He also said that if I’m capable, I should do it, and if not, I should get lost!”

“In terms of ethics and reason, both internally and externally, after joining our headquarters, I cannot neglect my duties. Please rest assured of that, Mr. Stewart!”

After hearing these words, Mr. Stewart forced a smile that was even more awkward than crying.

“You’re right…”

Theresa Hale seemed to think of something and added another sentence.

“Oh, by the way, don’t be fooled by my appearance today. It’s just my wishful thinking and has nothing to do with Jun Chester’s intentions.”

Mr. Stewart looked resentful.

“Is that really the case?”

Theresa Hale sighed.

“I also hope it’s not the case, but… forget it. Family matters and your nagging as my superior are things you wouldn’t understand.”

Mr. Stewart said with a bitter face.

“I understand, really! Don’t worry, your dreams will definitely come true in the future!”

Theresa Hale smiled.

“Then, should I take your words as good luck?”

Mr. Stewart still wore a bitter expression.

“Madam, don’t make fun of me. I know what contributions you’ve made to Skyhowl over the years, and I’ve never doubted your abilities! Whether your relationship with Jun the Accursed is what it seems is not important! Today, in front of all these people, I can say that your opinions at the headquarters are the same as mine!”

“Is that so?”

Theresa Hale’s smile deepened.

“You give me face.”

Mr. Stewart immediately breathed a sigh of relief, bowed slightly, and made a gesture as if inviting her to the entrance of the hall.

“Please.”

Theresa Hale smiled brightly, shrugged her shoulders, and let out a sigh of relief.

“Really, it’s my first day taking office, and there’s still some pressure. It’s not like me! Sigh, I don’t even know if I can double Lordran’s economic output within three years!”

Mr. Stewart looked a bit regretful.

“Doubling Lordran’s economic output in ten years would already be quite an achievement! Lordran is not what it used to be!”

Theresa Hale looked a bit resentful.

“If it takes ten years to double Lordran’s economic output, then I won’t even have the qualification to act coquettishly in front of Jun Chester in the future.”

“…”

Mr. Stewart was speechless for a moment.

But the most speechless person was Katherine Snee.

It was only now that she finally understood something.

Theresa Hale hadn’t been abandoned by Skyhowl. Not only had she not been abandoned, she had even climbed up the ladder!

She directly became the Deputy Chief Economist of the Lordran headquarters!

“What is this concept?” Katherine Snee couldn’t help but doubt Theresa Hale’s abilities for the first time in her life. After all, managing an entire country’s economy is not as simple as running a business, even if Skyhowl is a massive corporation. But just as Katherine was lost in her thoughts, Theresa turned her head and glanced at her, saying, “What are you standing there for? Come on!” Katherine was struck by lightning. She was both shocked and honored. Did she have any qualifications to continue being Theresa Hale’s friend?

Theresa Hale, with a smile on her face, walked back to Katherine, took her hand, and said, “Don’t think about starting your own business anymore. Come to the headquarters and be my assistant. Also, what your Snee family went through is nothing. I helped you.” Katherine felt like she was dreaming.

Suddenly, Theresa Hale took out a black card from her handbag and smiled at Katherine. “There’s at least four trillion inside, given by Jun Chester. From now on, we’ll spend it together, but we can’t spend it recklessly. Let’s strive to use every penny for the welfare of the people. You’ve always aspired to have enough money to give away in the mountain villages of Lordran since you were young, and now it seems… it’s within reach!”

“Spending money requires using your brain, and it’s also hard work. As a younger sister who returned from studying in the Four Nations, others may not treat you well, but Theresa Hale, I do!”

Unintentionally spoken, but with a meaningful impact, regardless of Katherine Snee’s reaction upon hearing those words. However, the gaze shifted to Halbert Chan in the square in front of the hall.

His face had turned dark, and his expression was extremely grim. Every word that Theresa Hale had just spoken had reached his ears. For Halbert Chan, this was not unusual. As a half martial artist, he possessed sharp senses, which were his basic abilities.

One could say that the reason Halbert Chan had come here today was to publicly reveal his feelings to Theresa Hale!

He believes that after being abandoned by Skyhowl, Theresa Hale will undoubtedly become a wretched woman. Under such circumstances, she will see herself as a lifeline once she leaves the Imperial Hall No. 1. But now, she has transformed and become the Vice Chief Economist of Lordran Bank. And to make matters worse, it’s all connected to Jun Chester, who is revered as Jun the Accursed, someone above tens of thousands of others. The hatred, the overwhelming hatred!! The greater the hatred, the crazier Halbert Chan becomes.

Jun the Accursed, huh? Heh, it’s nothing special! It’s insignificant in front of a true martial arts expert. Theresa Hale, the Vice Chief Economist of Lordran Bank, is also nothing to boast about. She’s just a weak woman. After you’ve had your moment of glory, you will eventually kneel before me like a dog.

As Halbert Chan thinks in his madness, Kit Chan, who is standing beside him, angrily says, “What are you still doing here? Get out of the capital city!” Unexpectedly, as soon as Kit Chan’s words fall, Halbert Chan suddenly glares at Kit Chan. His gaze is venomous, like that of a demon. Halbert Chan chuckles.

“Within three days, you will witness it for yourself. Jun the Accursed, as you see him, will undoubtedly die!”
