Chapter 970
Charlie and ire sat down on Mrs. Lewis''s righthand side at her request. The others took their
seats one by one.
As soon as everyone sat down, Mrs. Lewis nced at all of them and donned a gentle smile. "Kids,
I''m so happy and thankful that you still remember me for all these years and even visit me!" 2
Everyone on the table quickly said, "Mrs. Lewis, what are you talking about? It''s what we should
do."
Mrs. Lewis asked, "How have you all been all these years?"
They answered with a smile, "Thanks for your concern, we are doing quite well.”
After leaving the orphanage for many years, everyone led their own lives in the direction they could
head, but in general, they were just ordinary people.
Regardless of the ideology and ambitions in the past, all of it diminished by the cruel reality. They
eventually returned to ordinary life.
Everyone had changed a lot. As they talked about their lives, they sounded casual and rxed, but
the listeners fell silent. Apparently, not all of them were leading a happy life.
Without family support and background, they could only rely on themselves in a harsh and realistic
society. It was considered good for achieving what they were at now, but it was unrealistic to dream
big and far. 6
Someone asked, "Max, I heard that you are now the director of a listedpany, is it true?"
Maxughed in delight. "Yeah! I''ve been a director for six months now!”
Many people gaped in astonishment. "Wow, a director i n a listedpany! Your annual sry must
be at least a few hundred thousand, right? Max, you''re amazing, no wonder you can afford a Merc!"
9
Max said in a smug tone, "So-so. Frankly, my annual sry is only several hundred thousand, it''s
just enough to make a living!”
Then, he pretended to sigh regretfully and said, "You may think it''s a big number, but it''s just enough
to pay for my necessities. I depend heavily on themission and bonus.”
He sucked a breath and continued, "I have an insider deal, I am currently in charge of a big project.
Once it i spleted, I''ll be able to share a million dors bonus!" 5
Everyone gaped their mouth wide, astounded. "Wow, Max! Oh, wait, Mr. Wyatt! Where do you
work? A million dors? They are so generous with their bonus!" 5
A smug smile was pasted on Max''s face. "Hold your jaw. I''m now working under the famous White
Group!
They have a very diversified business division, for example, Spikeworth Corps is also one of their
subsidiarypanies. Sometimes, the profit of a project can hit up to tens of millions of dors, and
the bonus of the project I''m partaking in is considered less!" 6
Charlie frowned. The White Group... wasn’t that thepany under Zeke White’s family? 7
Was Max the White family’s employee? It was getting more interesting now. 7
Since Charlie was awfully silent, Max asked in a mocking tone, "By the way, Charlie, what do you
do now? Don''t tell me you''ve been mooching on your wife ever since you married into their family."

Hisckeysughed sinisterly upon his remarks.
No matter how patient Charlie was, he was starting to get annoyed by Max''s continuous
provocation. He red at Max and said tly, "Yes, I have to do theundry, cooking, and clean the
house every day. It is quite a busy yet fulfilling life, I don''t have the time to find a job.”
Charlie was telling the truth, but it became the funniest joke when it resonated in Max''s ears. He
laughed out loud and mocked, "Oh please, Charlie, stop saving your face. Everyone knows how
awful it must b e to you, stop pretending as if being a househusband i s the most enjoyable life you
can have!" 7
Then, he said in a deliberate tone, "Oh yeah, since we are childhood buddies, I''m offering you a job.
I am looking for an assistant recently, why don''t youe and join Scott to help me out?”
