The Rise of Dragon Temple

Chapter 47

Joseph and Paige went home to rest. When Paige was driving, Joseph was sitting next to her, causing

her heart to race. Especially without the presence of Chloe, her heartbeat was even faster, as if she

had just fallen in love. Sure enough, everything that Joseph had done for her today deeply moved her.

At this moment, even though she was driving, she would occasionally glance at him from the corner of

her eye. When she saw his sharp side profile, her face became redder. After they got home, Paige

coaxed Chloe to sleep and avoided having too much interaction with Joseph. During bedtime, Chloe

slept happily in between Paige and Joseph while Paige couldn’t sleep. From time to time, she would

secretly catch a glimpse of Joseph. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that he was

charming… For a night, the two of them did not speak. However, in the meantime, Joseph’s decision

had once again caused a stir in Olpen. A huge one. Joseph had decided to bring forward the wedding

date to three days later. In fact, that wedding involved more than a hundred cities and more than a

thousand couples. Moreover, the couples and service personnel alone would amount to a few thousand

people, not to include the couples’ friends and relatives. When the time came, there would be more

than ten thousand people, or maybe a hundred thousand,(This novel will be daily updtaed at

www.noveljar.com) or even more. As it was such a grand occasion, citizens—who had time in their

hands on that day-would probably come and spectate the event too… Therefore, after Joseph gave the

order, Dennis and Ernie immediately rushed to the headquarters from home. The same went to

hundreds of executives from Gempoint Group and Mysticorps Group-who just got off work and hadn’t

even arrived home. As Joseph issued a death order to Alpha 1, Alpha 1 gave even more strict orders to

Dennis and Ernie. With that, Dennis and Ernie—the top leaders in Oplen-ended up giving the most

demanding commands to their executives. They not only ordered the executives to come back for an

emergency meeting on that very night, but all hundreds of executives and ten thousand over

employees also had to work overtime to prepare for the upcoming wedding. Even so, everyone would

have ten times the bonuses.” And this night, both Dennis and Ernie—who rushed back to the

conference room

-were about to go nuts. Three days! There were only three days left! “I don’t care what ways you use! I

want all of you to stay up all night and speed up the preparations! Also, we will double the budget! So

no matter what, do your best to complete everything in three days. From now on, every department will

report one progress in every hour. I will be staying here for the next three days! Hurry up!

Hurry up! Get the ball rolling!” Dennis instructed his executives as soon as he arrived at the conference

room. Half an hour later, Ernie—who looked ferocious and anxious-rushed into Gempoint Group with a

bright machete, followed by hundreds of his executives. Of course, he did not come to fight but to

discuss the wedding. From time to time, employees from both companies would have to discuss

important details, and face to-face communication was always the fastest. After greeting Dennis

breathlessly, Ernie jumped on the meeting table and chopped off a large piece of it. With murderous

intent, he roared to the executives, “If Mr. Drake gives you ten times the bonus as an encouragement, NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

then I’ll give you ten machetes instead! I’ll put them here tonight. I don’t care who you are and what

background you have, but from now on, if anyone of you loses your momentum, I’ll chop you up! Don’t

forget what made me who I am today!!!” Boom! With Ernie’s words and his murderous look, all

executives were scared. Sure enough, everyone knew what was behind Ernie’s achievement. Although

Dennis had some dirty means too, he was nothing compared with Ernie. At this moment, under the

combination of interests and fear, employees of both

companies began to work frantically. In three days, the grand wedding that involved one thousand over

couples—which had never happened since Frogua was founded—would take place in Oplen. However,

because it was the largest event in the history of Oplen, there were too many works and sub-sect

projects-tens of thousands of participants, the decorations of the venue, lights, color theme, carpet,

flowers, media, food, accommodation, etc. It was countless. Besides, the total expenditure for

hundreds of thousands of people on that day would be huge beyond imagination. After all, it would

require a generous number of suppliers and materials. After Ernie finished his words breathlessly, (This

with Ernie to coordinate their executives. Once they exchanged glances, Dennis uttered seriously, “Mr.

Green, since the wedding is brought forward, we must do it well for Mr. Dawson, or else it will be hard

for us to face him in the future… As for our past conflicts, I shall apologize to you. Hopefully, we can go

through this together! We can’t let Mr. Dawson down!” Solemnly, Ernie nodded and replied, “Don’t be,

Mr. Drake. I am the one who kept finding your fault in the past. So, I should apologize too. From now

on, you will be fully in charge, and I will give you my full cooperation. Feel free to dispatch thousands of

my men at any time!” When Dennis heard this, he was greatly relieved. “Cool, I am glad to hear that…”

At midnight, after hundreds of executives planned for three hours, they went out. With that, the entire

Oplen was bustling with people. The executives of both

companies barged into every suppliers’ house and threw them a briefcase of money. “Call your workers

now and proceed with the production. Quick!” Meanwhile, at Olpen’s church-which was already under

construction-people from different areas delivered countless headlights here and fixed all of them within

minutes. Instantly, the area near the church was as bright as day.

Then, a famous interior designer in Oplen rushed to the church overnight and began decorating At the

same time, groups of wedding crews, musicians, dancers, and so on also hurried here. Having not

much time to rehearse, they sped up their preparation. In addition, the screening process for 1314

couples also began. From Oplen to other hundred cities of the central region, all the news media were

also reporting about the grand wedding being held in advance… At that moment, countless people

throughout Oplen were called out from their sleep and returned to their positions. The Police

Department also mobilized all the police to ensure the safety of the venue. Following that, all kinds of

construction machinery hurried to the wedding site. Various designers and their assistants also started

to adorn the wedding site and the whole city. While everyone was busy, Serena was lying on her bed,

watching soap dramas. Just as she was preparing to sleep, hundreds of news popped up on her phone

screen. “Oh my God!” She jumped up from the bed. Reading the news articles, she ran to the window

and opened the curtains. With that, she noticed that lights had filled the quiet city. “Oh my, what is

Joseph planning to do?” She swallowed her saliva in shock and subconsciously looked toward the

direction of Joseph’s room. On the other side, a smile appeared on Joseph’s face as he kept his eyes

shut. Listening to those noises outside, he naturally knew that most of the people in Oplen wouldn’t be

able to sleep tonight. Well, this was the speed he wanted. He didn’t want to fight with those snobbish

people from the Mooney family any longer. Besides, Oplen was too small. How could he let his wife

and daughter stay here for long? Hence, he had made up his mind. A few days after the wedding, he

would take Paige and Chloe to a broader place-Usmait. In the morning, Joseph sent Paige downstairs

as usual. As Paige didn’t sleep well last night, she yawned a few times. Seeing that, Joseph said with

some pity, “If you are too tired, you should take a day off. You didn’t rest for the past few days.” Paige

smiled at Joseph and responded, “It’s okay. I haven’t been working for a long time. So, I have a lot to

catch up on. Also, I still haven’t completed one of the three conditions Grandpa set for me…”

With a frown, Joseph asked, “Didn’t your grandfather appoint you as the channel director? It’s an

official one at that.” Smilingly, Paige nodded, “Well, indeed, but I want to give Grandpa’s conditions a

shot. Don’t worry, I will try my best…” After a moment of silence, Joseph asked, “What is the third

condition then?”

company has failed to negotiate for years…” Upon hearing that, Joseph nodded and continued to ask,

“Alright, which one do you want to complete then?” For a while, Paige pondered before she muttered

casually, “Aceshine Group has rapidly developed these years, but in the end, it still has too little

foundation as we could only cooperate with some small enterprises. Grandpa has always wanted to

cooperate with Gempoint Group and Mysticorps Group. Lily also keeps visiting Gempoint Group for the

last few days. Since Rory’s father has a good relationship with Tobias Drake-Gempoint Group’s vice

president and also Dennis Drake’s younger brother-it seems that Lily is bound to win this time. She is

upset that I won over her these days.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)” After

saying that, she paused before she smiled at Joseph, “Don’t worry. I’ll go to Gempoint Group and see if

I can secure this collaboration. I studied their information yesterday, and I want to have a try. During

yesterday’s meeting, Grandpa also mentioned that whoever secures the partnership with Gempoint

Group or Mysticorps Group, that person will become the Vice President. Even if Lily has connections,

she might fail. But if I fail this time, I’ll have another try in Mysticorps Group.” “Okay, do your best. I

believe you can do it. Chloe and I will also be counting on you to feed us in the future, hehe…” Joseph

slightly narrowed his eyes and jested. “Alright, I shall head to work then. You… Take care…” Paige

blushed and murmured bashfully. After Paige left, Joseph laughed meaningfully, “Hehe, Gempoint

Group and Mysticorps Group? She just took up the job yesterday, and yet Leonard asks her to discuss

the collaboration. What’s more, he even lured her with the vice president’s position and let Lily compete

with her. Is he suspecting something?” Joseph uttered to himself. At this time, Serena came over from

behind with Chloe in her arms and asked, “Joseph, do you mean Grandpa suspects it was you who

secretly helped Paige?” Joseph nodded and then shook his head. “I’m not sure, but he has been in

charge of the company for so many years, and he is astute. So, it wouldn’t be weird if he has some

doubts…” Furrowing her brows, Serena concerned, “Are you going to help Paige again this time? If

you are, won’t Grandpa be more suspicious of you?”

Hearing this, Joseph chuckled gleefully, “Well, it doesn’t matter. The wedding will be held in three days

anyway. Haha..” “Help me look after Chloe. I’ll personally meet Dennis and Ernie. I have some other

matters to discuss with them too…” Then, Joseph left after saying goodbye to Chloe.

Even if Leonard doubted Joseph, so what? Joseph did not intend to hide his identity for long. Before

that, he only did it to ease Paige’s sorrow and change Estella and Yahir’s impression of him.

Nevertheless, after he bought a house for Estella, she and Yahir no longer held any grudges against

him. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)In this case, why should he continue to

conceal himself? To let that group of contemptible fools run amok in front of him? What a joke.
