Chapter 56 I'll Celebrate With Fireworks When You're Dead!
The rest of the Johnson family also scolded and complained about Sarah. Some said she fled at the critical moment and didn't fight for the Johnson family's interests. Others claimed that she hadn't prepared anything these past few days and knew she didn't have the strength to compete, so she just didn't bother coming!
Just as everyone was about to head towards the Maple Real Estate gate, a red Mazda pulled up, and Sarah stepped out of the car.
"Sorry, I'm late!"
For this proposal, Sarah had been writing all day yesterday and into the night, then woke up early to change clothes and put on makeup. That's why she was a bit late.
Abigail was the first one to approach her with malice in her eyes. She said, "Sarah, you're getting bolder and even dare to be late for such an important business cooperation with the Johnson family! I think you really don't want to stay in the Johnson family!"
Sarah replied without any goodwill, "Whether I'm in the Johnson family or not, it's not for you to decide. With all this spare time, why don't you go make your TikTok videos!"
"You..." Abigail's face turned pale and then red from being verbally attacked. She had the impulse to scratch Sarah's face right then and there.
"Stop arguing, everyone!"
At this moment, Grandpa Johnson came forward to mediate, furrowing his brow as he said to Sarah, "Is the bidding proposal ready?"
"It's ready," Sarah answered.
As she looked at Grandpa Johnson, Sarah couldn't help but think about the night before last, when she heartlessly sold herself to Sam. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't feeling aggrieved but so what?
Grandpa Johnson always had the final say in the Johnson family, even if he had humiliated her repeatedly, she could only endure. It was precisely because of this that Sarah didn't tell Ernest's parents about what had happened that night. Even if she did, it wouldn't make a difference!
Grandpa Johnson extended his hand and said, "Let me have a look at the proposal and supporting documents you've prepared."
Sarah handed over the document bag.
Grandpa Johnson opened it and took a quick look. Nodding, a glint of cunning flashed in his eyes. "Alright, I'll hold on to this proposal for now."
"Grandpa, I wrote this proposal, so shouldn't I keep it?" Sarah felt a bit hesitant.
Andy, with a confrontational tone, provoked, "What do you mean, Sarah? Don't you trust Grandpa? Do you think he's trying to harm you?"
Sarah quickly shook her head and tried to explain, "That's not what I meant, actually..."
"If that's not what you meant, then keep quiet! Both Abigail and I have given our proposals to Grandpa. Don't act special!"
"Fine," Sarah reluctantly nodded.
Although she wasn't sure why Grandpa suddenly needed this business plan, she had a faint sense of impending trouble.
Grandpa Johnson glanced at Sarah and instructed everyone, "Now that we're all here, let's go in. For such an important matter, we must be early and not leave a bad impression on Maple Real Estate."
"Dad! Wait, wait!" Just then, Ernest and Karen came running from the other end of the parking lot, panting heavily.
Matthew, unhappy, asked, "Brother, why did you and sister-in-law come? You haven't been responsible for your family's branch company for years!"
Ernest scratched his head, feeling embarrassed. "It's true that I'm not responsible, but Sarah is still in charge. Since today's matter is so important, we thought of coming to support Sarah! Let's strive to win the bid!"
Matthew frowned and turned to Grandpa Johnson, asking for his opinion.
Grandpa Johnson scolded impatiently, "The two of you who can't handle anything properly, don't even understand the bidding process. Where do you get the confidence to support us?"
Everyone burst into laughter. Ernest wanted nothing more than to disappear into the ground.
After all, Ernest was Grandpa Johnson's least favored son, so he was used to such sarcasm.
Ernest plucked up his courage and said, "Mom! Let us go in together. We promise not to cause any trouble!"
Grandpa Johnson impatiently replied, "Then go in first... Don't blame me if you cause any trouble, just get lost immediately!"
Ernest nodded repeatedly.
The group arrived at the entrance. Grandpa Johnson looked up at the grand office building of Maple Real Estate and couldn't help but sigh, "When will the Johnson family have such a magnificent office building? Even if I die, I won't regret it!"
As soon as he finished speaking,a familiar voice sounded, "If you die now, I'll go out and buy two buckets of fireworks!"
Grandpa Johnson and the others instantly turned grim.
They turned to see Ryder walking out of the security room, wearing a somewhat cheap-looking black suit, followed by seven or eight uniformed security guards.
Grandpa Johnson's gaze became sharp.
This bastard Ryder was indeed the head of security at Maple Real Estate!
Matthew, with an unpleasant expression, scolded Ryder, "You good-for-nothing! What were you just saying?"
Ryder shrugged indifferently, "Couldn't hear? Shall I say it again? If once isn't enough, I can go buy more fireworks!"
Matthew was so angry that his mouth twitched. He pointed at Ryder's nose and cursed angrily, "Ryder! You despicable person! Do you believe that I'll kill you?"
"Kill me?" Ryder squinted his eyes slightly. His black gaze was fixed on Matthew. "If you dare, go ahead and try. Let me remind you, I still remember the debt from the other night!"
As soon as the words fell, the security guards behind them stepped forward.
Their expressions were unfriendly, as if they could immediately rush forward and beat someone at Ryder's command.
Seeing this, Andy's legs trembled in fear.
He had personally experienced the fierceness of Maple Real Estate security guards many times.
He quickly approached Matthew and whispered in his ear, "Dad! Don't argue with them. These uncivilized security guards don't reason, they just resort to violence!"
Matthew nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva and coughed. He took two steps back.
Even if Andy hadn't reminded him, he was already intimidated by the approaching security guards!
At this moment, surprisingly, Grandpa Johnson didn't lose his temper immediately. After all, the bidding today was important, and he didn't want any unpleasantness to happen.
So she smiled and said, "Truly my good granddaughter and grandson-in-law, who have become the head of the security department at Maple Real Estate. How impressive!"
"That's necessary! If we're not impressive enough, certain narrow-minded people would ridicule us! Especially a certain old mouse who is getting on in years. Just seeing him makes me sick!" Ryder immediately responded.
Grandpa Johnson's eye twitched uncontrollably. How could he not hear Ryder's mocking tone? This little bastard was simply going too far!
Matthew, Andy, and the others had faces ashen with anger!
Ryder's audacity had exceeded their imaginations. Only Karen secretly rejoiced in her heart.
She was pleased that Ryder, this useless person, dared to mock the person even she wouldn't dare retort against, Grandpa Johnson.
What a satisfying feeling!
Sarah felt a bit sorry and discreetly pinched Ryder's arm. "Say less! Don't anger Grandpa!"
"At your command!" Ryder grinned.
In Grandpa Johnson's eyes, this scene was Sarah intentionally provoking him!
Just as Grandpa Johnson was brewing to suppress Ryder and Sarah,
Suddenly, not far away, a discordant mocking voice sounded, "The Johnson family? This trashy and insignificant family dares to compete with the Windsor Group? It's simply laughable!"
