FROM DIVORCED TO BILLIONAIRE HEIR

CHAPTER 10

“... and therefore, isn’t reliable enough for us to consider a partnership at this time.”

John got straight to the point as he didn’t want to waste the time.

Juliet’s heart sank to the bottom.

Her face fell and her lips went pale. 

But she didn’t dare back down. 

This was, after all, her last hope!

Also, the Beaumons’ last hope!

How could she give up so easily?

“I understand the concerns, Mr. Wales.” 

Juliet continued, her voice trembling and rapid.

“If you’re not at ease, I can offer all of Beaumon’s overseas assets as collateral.”

“I can assure you they are completely legitimate and without risk.” 

“Additionally, to show our sincerity, we’re willing to offer a 60%—uhm, no, I mean a 70% discount. We just need a chance to prove ourselves.”

Juliet? Beaumon? J and B?

Just then, a light bulb went off in Louis’s mind.

Of course!

He remembered!

Wasn’t that the name of Vivian’s best friend, the daughter of the Beaumon Family?

Moreover, and most importantly, if he remembered correctly, the doll’s sole had two very small, crooked letters sewn onto it.

And weren’t they “J” and “B”?

He had never thought much about it before, assuming it was just an ugly trademark.

But if those were the initials of a little girl’s name, sewn by herself ...

... then it all made perfect sense!

And combined with the inexplicable sense of familiarity at first sight ...

Could she be the girl back then? 

... Louis thought, his mind racing at full speed like a rocket.

He now had ample reason to suspect that the woman before him was the girl who had once pulled him back from the brink of death.

“I’m sorry, Miss Beaumon. Although your proposal sounds attractive, I can’t take the risk.”

John sighed.

Meanwhile, Louis also snapped back to reality.

“Mr Wales, please have faith in me, I promise I won’t let you down.” 

Juliet pleaded, her eyes filled with sincerity and desperation.

She couldn’t afford it if John Wale declined her proposal.

However ...

“Sorry again, Apex Z Group is not a charity.”

John shook his head firmly.

He had his own responsibilities and couldn’t agree out of momentary softness.

That was not what a qualified General Manager should do.

“Sir, please ...”

Juliet pleaded, for the sake of the whole Beaumon Family.

But as her eyes met those of John’s, she sensed his impatience and determination.

And her voice faded.

She knew that continuing to press would only make John Wales completely annoyed with her.

It wouldn’t lead her anywhere nice or hopeful.

“Sorry for the inconvenience, Mr Wales, I understand your concern. And thanks for giving me the chance to talk to you.”

Juliet felt a profound sense of loss.

However, she had no choice but to give up.

The exhaustion from without rest overwhelmed her in an instant as she stumbled to prepare to leave.

However, just then, Louis spoke up.

“Mr Wales, why don’t you reconsider and take a close look at Miss Beaumon’s proposal? It wouldn’t hurt, would it?”
