Ryan frowned. ‘This fellow probably does not know what happened at the family banquet this morning.’

The company was named Mears Corporation, but in reality, Lumi and Ryan had bought most of the shares from the Mears family members.

Lumi and Ryan were now in control of the company. Lilian, Lumi’s aunt, had lost power in the company. So, what made Albert think he could still hang on Lilian’s coattails.

“Get out of my sight!” Ryan’s face darkened. If Albert wanted to stop him from going in, so be it. But he should be more polite and not rude like this. He thought Ryan was still that easy-to-bully, live-in son-in-law?

“Heck! You are just trash picked up from the garbage dumpster. Stop thinking so highly of yourself. Otherwise, I will knock sense into you!” Albert hissed.

While speaking, Albert wielded a stick in his hand and was about to strike Ryan in the chest.

Ryan had that killer look in his eyes. He moved in a flash and struck Albert in the chest with a sidekick, sending Albert flying backwards for several meters before crashing into a wall.

Albert almost passed out from the blow. “Damn it! I can’t believe that you hit you. People, get him and beat him to death!”

Several security personnel had gathered at the entrance. They saw what was going on and were all in shock. Since when Ryan knew martial art? He had been a weakling all this while, hadn’t he?

The security personnel hesitated to follow Albert’s instructions. “Really, Boss? Mr. Fletcher is President Mears’s husband. We are afraid that this is not so appropriate.”

Albert reached to touch the blood in the corner of his mouth and hissed. “President Mears my foot! My aunt told me yesterday that the company changed its management. Lumi is no longer in charge. My aunt and second uncle have gone in just now. Just wait and you all will see Lumi being kicked out soon.”

Lilian and Jerome had come to the company?

Ryan instantly put two and two together. The reason they came to the company so hurriedly was to tie up their dirty loose ends and to make a last-ditch effort to plunder the company.

But since Lumi had arrived first, she must have a way to deal with the situation. He need not worry about Lumi, with whom he had full confidence.

The security personnel exchanged a glance with each other. Albert’s aunt was seizing power from Lumi, and the company would change its management?

But they were still afraid to act recklessly.

The elevator door in the lobby opened while they were still hesitating. Lilian and Jerome, escorted by several security personnel, were quickly heading toward the exit.

“You callous woman, Lumi! You can’t just drive us away like this!” Lilian was yelling back inside as the security personnel escorted her out.

Jerome said nothing, still holding a box full of his belongings in his hands.

It looked like he had been fired.

Behind the security personnel, Lumi was looking on with no expression on her face as Lilian and Jerome were escorted out. “Aunt Lilian, Uncle Jerome, you two have no business in the company anymore. So you’d better not make trouble here.”

Albert had still no idea what was going on. When he saw Lilian coming out, he hurried up to her like a crybaby. “You are here just at the right time, Aunt. Get Lumi out of here quickly. Ryan just hit me. You have got to make him pay for it!”

After emerging from the elevator and seeing several security personnel surrounding Ryan, Lumi quickly came up and curled her hand around Ryan’s arm with a concerned look in her eyes. “Are you alright, Ryan?”

She then chided the security personnel without waiting for Ryan to respond. “How dare you all want to hit my husband? Do you all want to lose your jobs?”

Albert became foolhardy with Lilian at the scene. “Don’t be intimidated, you guys! Lumi has been fired! Am I right, Aunt? Beat the daylights out of them both—”

He was too excited and had not noticed that Lilian’s face had darkened. Before he could finish his sentence, Lilian gave him a good slap on his face with the back of her hand. “Shut up, idiot! Get out of here!”

The slap was so hard that it sent a big man like Albert spinning on the spot several times.

Albert was completely struck dumb. “Isn’t Lumi kicked out of the company, Aunt? Why did you slap me?”

Things had gone wrong for her today. Coupled with having such a dumb nephew, she could not be more furious. She grabbed the box from Jerome’s hand and threw it at Albert. “Are you blind or something? Didn’t you see I am the one who is kicked out? Stop embarrassing yourself here. Get the hell out of here”!

“I…” Albert dodged the box. He was in disbelief when he saw the stationery strewn all over the place.

‘So Aunt and Jerome failed in their bid to overthrow Lumi, and it is not Lumi but Aunt and Jerome who are sent packing?`

He was finished.

“It was my fault, Lumi, Ryan…” Albert’s expression took a one-eighty turn as he desperately went down to his knees to apologize to Lumi and Ryan.

Albert did not have a high educational qualification and could only work as the head of the security team. Earning a salary of $10,000 a month was easy money. And he did not want to lose this job.

“Stop the crap. Get your salary from the finance department and leave!” Lumi hissed.

The nepotism going on in the company had long bothered her. No way she would keep Albert, since Lilian had been fired. Not to mention Albert had wanted to hit Ryan just now.

Lilian grabbed Albert by his collar and lifted him up before he could say anything. “You idiot! Do you have any self-dignity? Follow me and leave!”

Gasping Albert with her, Lilian and Jerome headed out the door. Lumi and Ryan went into the elevator and headed straight to the president’s office on the 18th floor.

…

Smack!

Five minutes later, in the president’s office, Lumi placed a pile of bills on the table. “These are the invoices that Newlane hasn’t settled with us. They all add up to over twenty-one million dollars. It would be good if you can collect the money back. If not, that is entirely fine. Safety first.”

After chatting about their blood transfusion when they were young in the car earlier, Lumi had since become closer to Ryan. She was now looking at him and gently tidying up his collar.

They had eye to eye, their bodies pressed together, feeling the breathing of each other. They both felt the temperature in the room rise as a sensual feeling pervading the air.

The silence got louder when they finally realized that the emotional barrier that had been standing between them for ten years of living together had come down for the first time. She hooked her arms around his neck as her lips slowly moved closer to his.
