Back From Prison!

Chapter 16:

The issue of her daughter was a thorn in Adela's heart, but how could she hope to find her daughter in this vast sea of people with her own limited means?

"Are you married?" Jonathan asked after a pause.

Roger hadn't told him this news.

Adela's voice turned cold: "That's none of your business, just answer me, can you help me find my daughter?"

"How old is she now?" Jonathan didn't answer her directly.

Adela thought for a moment and then said: "She's five years old now!"

Jonathan muttered to himself, thinking the five-year-old probably had little to do with him, likely Adela's child with someone else.

"I'll do my best with this matter, what about the others? Like rescuing your mother?"

"Let's finish the first task and then talk about that."

Adela's tone was cold. Asking Jonathan for help was like clinging to her last hope.

Besides, he had a responsibility to find her daughter!

Jonathan nodded, sipping his tea: "Let's set aside the compensation for now. Now, I'll speak about my requirements from you."

"You have demands?"

"Of course, I do. Regardless of how much I hurt you in the past, legally speaking, I've served six and a half years, owing no further compensation. My desire to make amends comes from conscience. So, it's not unreasonable for me to have a few demands, right?"

Adela's smile turned colder, suspecting Jonathan of having ulterior motives: "So, the fox shows his tail! Hmph, let me tell you, I won't agree to any outrageous demands!"

Jonathan shook his head: "They're not unreasonable, just two work-related requests."

"First, you need to work at M&N fashion company, not as a fashion designer but in business operations. If you become the top sales employee in three months, I'll agree to any request you have. Including asking me to leave this city!"

"Are you trying to challenge me? I studied fashion design, not sales! M&N's retail division is full of elites, how can I compete?"

Asking her to become the top business employee in three months was like a pipe dream!

Jonathan's face showed contempt: "That's just your lack of confidence. Every era has young talents who surprise. If you're determined, you can do it! What, are you scared of such a small request? Or have you grown addicted to the feeling of selling fish in the market?"

Provoking rather than inviting!

Adela, hating Jonathan's condescending tone, resolved: "Fine, I agree. If I achieve the top sales record in three months, you leave this city!"

She was already low enough, what more did she have to lose?

Jonathan nodded indifferently: "If you can do it, so can I. The second thing, as a thank you for this job, from today, you'll need to pick up and drop off my daughter from school for free, and tutor her as well."

"You should know, students these days are different, especially since my daughter is in a higher class at kindergarten, soon to be in first grade. Without proper preparation, it's hard to keep up."

"I've been worried, unable to find a good tutor. To put it nicely, a tutor, but bluntly, a nanny."

Hearing this, Adela felt a surge of anger: “What did you say? You want me to pick up and drop off your daughter from school, and act as her tutor and nanny?”

“Is there a problem?” Jonathan asked with a smile.

“I disagree!”

Adela quickly refused without a second thought. She couldn’t bear the idea of taking care of the daughter of her enemy.

“No problem, if you disagree with this, then any promise I made to you before, I also disagree with, including helping you find your daughter.' Jonathan coldly stated, then suddenly remembered: "Oh, and there’s also the matter of the $200,000 debt note with high interest in your possession. If you don’t agree, believe me, this note will be the last straw that breaks the camel’s back.”

“You will be very desperate!”

Feeling intensely humiliated, Adela glared at the man, wishing she could tear him apart.

“You're devil!”

She was trapped in this situation by Jonathan, and he still wouldn’t let her go.

Jonathan's face remained expressionless, silently waiting for Adela’s response.

“I, I agree with you!” Adela finally conceded in humiliation.

She had no other choice!

Jonathan indifferently said: "Go to the business department to report, and leave work at three in the afternoon to pick up my daughter with me.”

Bang!

The office door was slammed shut, and Jonathan felt Adela’s anger.

He also felt he had gone too far, but what could he do?

He hoped that his compensation to Adela wouldn’t be just material.

He also hoped that this girl could once again step onto her own stage and shine with her unique brilliance.

Jonathan stood still for a long time, then took out his phone to call Roger, asking him to investigate Adela’s daughter.

After hanging up, Jonathan went to the meeting room for an emergency meeting with the senior executives of M&N Fashion Company, obviously about the change in the CEO position.

“Director Wang, I’m not feeling well these days and need to take a few days off. I’ve already reported this to Director Jacob, he won’t disagree, right?”

After the handover was completed with the previous CEO, Edgar Jones suddenly stood up, his attitude mocking.

Although others didn’t know what Edgar Jones was thinking about taking leave at this time, they could guess that with Edgar’s “personality.' it wasn’t anything good.

“Director Wang, two days ago, Deputy Director Jones already talked to me about his health. He is really sick; he doesn’t need to worry!” Raphael also stood up to cover for Edgar.

Jonathan chuckled, his voice carrying a deep meaning: "Alright, Director Jones, take as long as you need to rest.”

Whether he was sick or not, Jonathan could tell, he just didn’t care to bother about it.

“Then I can rest easy, but Jonathan, running a company isn’t child’s play, don’t beg me to come back after just a few days!”

Edgar sneered continuously, already envisioning Jonathan being ousted from the company.

Stepping out of the company building, Edgar immediately called David Joseph, laughing loudly: "Director Joseph, you’re not busy tonight, right? How about I treat you to a massage?”
