After leaving the hotel, Lily returned to Hamilton Group with her face still slightly flushed. She went to her office and sat down, thinking about what had just happened. After a moment, she picked up the contract she had prepared that morning. Lily reviewed the contract and calculated the cost of changing investors. Seeing that the expense was manageable, she fed the contract into the shredder. Then, she picked up the phone and called, "Tarry, I think your company is more suitable for this project. The terms will remain the same as what you offered." After a brief pause, Lily laughed, "Or, how about you bring the contract tonight, and we can discuss it further?" For Lily, switching investors wasn’t a big deal. As long as the project succeeded and the company profits were maintained, it was a closed case. This was her way of working; as long as the company made money, the project was deemed successful. Clearly, Tarry was in her considerations. Or at least, for now, she couldn’t
Diana felt frustrated because changing investors wasn’t something easy to handle. Moreover, the party they’d been negotiating with all along was Buka Group. So, how could they suddenly be unsuitable? She hadn’t even heard of Applo Group before. “Why don’t you let me ask more questions?” Diana asked, stepping closer. Dixon poured her a cup of tea. “Have a cup of tea and clear your throat,” Dixon chuckled. “She's come prepared, so whatever you ask, she'll have an answer. You’ll run out of things to ask.” “There must be a problem,” Diana sighed. “Of course there’s a problem,” Dixon replied, pulling out his phone. He’d sensed something was wrong since Lily had started talking. When Dixon heard that the investor was being switched to Applo Group, he immediately sent the name to Paulo, asking him to investigate the company’s background as quickly as possible. “There’s a big problem here. Just see for yourself,” Dixon said, handing his phone to Diana. Diana put her tea down and looke
“Who is it?” Lily shouted impatiently. “Don’t bother me!” A voice came from outside the door, “I’m here to deliver the red wine.” Lily’s heart raced. She hurriedly opened the door. Standing in front of her was a hotel staff member with a friendly smile, holding a tray with a bottle of red wine, two glasses, and an envelope. “Give it to me,” Lily took the tray from the staff and quickly shut the door. She opened the wine bottle to let it breathe, poured two glasses, and waited. Spotting the envelope on the tray sparked her curiosity. Why was there a letter? Could it be a love letter? Tarry truly had a knack for romantic surprises-Lily thought. Without further delay, she opened the envelope and began reading it on the bed. Lily’s expression changed as soon as she started reading the document. Her face paled, and her hands trembled as she gripped the paper. Fear, regret, and panic filled her eyes as she read to the end. The bathroom door opened, and Tarry emerged, dressed i
“You mentioned wanting to change the investor, so the Buka Group feels that their offer isn’t good enough. They want to discuss this further with Diana. Director Lily, do you think we still have a chance?” “Yes, we definitely still have a chance! YES!” Lily responded firmly. “We must fight to secure more benefits for Hamilton Group!” “If they want to partner with Hamilton Group, then we need to get more advantages. I took this step deliberately so we could come out on top!” Lily clenched her fist with determination. “We must get this deal signed! And we need to sign it as soon as possible! I’ll go speak with them right now!” Lily couldn’t wait any longer and immediately rushed into the restaurant. Diana had invited the investment team from Buka Group, but she hadn’t informed them about the change in investors. She only mentioned wanting to discuss further details before finalizing the agreement. The team from Buka Group clearly had no intention of compromising and was prepared to
Zokhu closed his eyes, took a deep breath to calm himself, then opened them sharply. He glanced at his men standing nearby. “Find the people I asked for.” “Mr. Zokhu, we’ve found them. They’re locked up in the warehouse now.” Zokhu stood up. “Let’s go.” They headed straight to the warehouse. The warehouse was dark and silent, with almost no sign of human activity. This place was used by Zokhu specifically to detain people. Currently, Steven and his son-Sonny, were stripped of their clothes and tied tightly to a metal rack with ropes. The temperature inside the warehouse was freezing. Both were soaked in tears and snot, shivering from the cold. “Please... please let us go...” Sonny sobbed desperately. “I beg you, we’ll give you all the money you want!” “Help us! Please!” Steven whimpered weakly. But there was no use in shouting. No one would hear or care about them. “Shut up!” Zokhu barked sharply. Steven gritted his teeth, his body covered with scratches from the t
Reddof City, At Airport. Twenty men in black suits rushed out of the exit, each with a serious face as if they were about to fight a formidable enemy. They reached the sidewalk outside the airport. A young man of thirty was sitting on a long bench, slowly exhaling cigarette smoke from his mouth. He is Dixon Edric. "Young master Dixon, welcome." Edy respectfully spoke to Dixon as he stood about three steps behind him. "Mr. Abraham hopes you can come back, he misses you a lot." In front of others, Edy had a high standing as a leader, and no one dared to go against him. But in front of Dixon, he felt so low! Dixon turned slightly with a flat expression on his face. "Did he miss my power? Or my money?" If anyone else said something like that, Edy would hate it. How could the rich and powerful Edric family of Reddof City ever covet someone else's power and money? But the man in front of him is different. He is the sole heir of the Edric family! Thus, Edy must respect h
The door opened and a man walked in. William and his wife couldn't bear to look at him. They knew that Steven would definitely choose the worst man to be Diana's husband. But, Diane turned to look. She wanted to see who would be her husband. Dixon looked into Diana's eyes. He walked right across the hall and everyone was staring at him. Steven smiled condescendingly and said, "Dixon, congratulations! You're going to be husband of one of the Hamilton family's grandchildren!" Steven added, "You don't have to thank us, we just hope you'll take good care of Diana." Steven walked over to Diana and gently took her hand, "Come, Diana." He took Diana's hand and brought her in front of Dixon, then placed his hand in Dixon's hand. All the guests started clapping again when they saw this, as if they were attending a happy wedding ceremony. But, William and his wife knew that everyone was just laughing at them! Tomorrow, all the people in Reddof would know that a useless man had married
Diana was dumbfounded, in her heart she said, "Dixon dares to slap Sonny?" Diana's face immediately paled with fear. Because, Sonny will kill Dixon because of this! "Why did you obey what I wanted to do?" Diana asked Dixon with a panicked expression on her face. "It's because you're my wife now," Dixon replied casually. I'm just saying it as a form of emotion, not that you should slap him." Diana explained. Diana stared in shock at Dixon. She never expected Dixon to slap Sonny for her. Sonny immediately got up and punched Dixon. All this time, no one had dared to hit him, and even worse, the one who slapped him was Diana's husband: a useless man! His fist had just reached Dixon's chest, but Dixon used one hand to grab Sonny's fist. Dixon suddenly exerted force and the next thing Sonny felt was his wrist breaking! "Aaaa! This hurts!" Dixon whimpered in pain. "Diana is my wife. No one will bully her from now on." Dixon only let go of Sonny's hand after saying this, th
