CHAPTER 26: CHAPTER 26: A BIT HARDCORE

Miles Jacobs was quite taken aback by Nathan Jacobs’ bold move to try to fire the big boss, and he was momentarily at a loss for words.

But Nathan Jacobs, thinking his reasoning was solid and that his uncle Miles Jacobs had tacitly agreed to his proposal, said, "I’ll have the finance department settle his salary now, and you can notify him of his termination later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Miles Jacobs sternly exclaimed, "Who exactly is the CEO, me or you?"

"Of course, it’s you, Uncle."

Nathan Jacobs was quick to lower himself, as his uncle was the one calling all the shots at The Jacobs Group.

If he truly infuriated him, Nathan Jacobs might have to pack his bags and head home.

Even so, Miles Jacobs wasn’t appeased.

"I thought you hadn’t realized this before. Since you know the company is ultimately under my management, don’t interfere with my people."

Nathan was momentarily stunned.

Because he understood that his uncle meant he didn’t want to fire Assistant Keaton.

"But, Uncle, I think Assistant Keaton’s attitude is far too arrogant, he doesn’t respect you at all."

"Why do I need him to respect me?"

Actually, what Miles Jacobs wanted to say was: How dare he let that man respect him?

After all, that certain someone could cause a financial storm just by stamping his foot.

Miles Jacobs was able to hitch a ride on that man’s coattails because they happened to be roommates for a year while studying abroad.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t even be qualified to speak with that man.

And Nathan Jacobs’ earlier words made Miles realize that this guy couldn’t stand that man.

Afraid that this guy might bring catastrophic disaster to the Jacobs Family, Miles Jacobs had no choice but to issue a direct warning in front of the other company members.

"Nathan Jacobs, if you want to keep your position as General Manager, don’t provoke him. Otherwise..."

Miles didn’t finish his sentence.

But Nathan Jacobs knew that if he really fired that assistant, Miles would definitely remove him from his position as General Manager.

At that moment, Nathan’s face was extremely grim.

Because Miles Jacobs’ words were directly spoken in front of others, it was like announcing that his nephew was far less important to him than Assistant Keaton.

These people were all shrewd.

Going forward, in their eyes, Assistant Keaton would surely be more sought after than he, the CEO’s nephew.

Actually, since Kyle Keaton became Miles Jacobs’ assistant, Nathan Jacobs had felt his status plummeting.

No matter the project, Miles Jacobs would bring along Kyle Keaton.

Even for the Caelan Sea, the biggest project since the company’s inception, Miles Jacobs seemed to always heed Kyle Keaton’s advice.

His attitude towards Kyle Keaton was almost sycophantic.

If not for Miles Jacobs’ well-known history with his 250 model ex-girlfriends, Nathan would think Miles Jacobs fancied Kyle Keaton.

If he doesn’t fancy Kyle Keaton, then why is Miles Jacobs so protective of Kyle Keaton?

Nathan Jacobs couldn’t figure it out, and Miles didn’t give him an answer, directly announcing, "The meeting will continue tomorrow."

Then, Miles Jacobs left the conference room.

Leaving behind only a gloomy Nathan Jacobs.

Simple and modern small apartment—

As soon as Kyle Keaton entered the door, he heard lively music coming from the living room.

When he stepped into the living room, he saw July Quinn dancing to the beat.

That wasn’t the main point, the main point was that July Quinn was wearing a super-short modified JK uniform.

With her dancing, the outfit she had just sent him photos of was teasingly visible.

Kyle Keaton’s Adam’s apple involuntarily bobbed.

He couldn’t deny that this temptation was quite hardcore...
