CHAPTER 9

“Would you like a tour of the Apex Z Group facilities while you’re here?”

Louis shook his head. 

“Not today. I have other matters to attend to.”

What was more urgent now was to determine who the real owner of the doll was.

If Vivian’s doll was in the attic, that meant the person who saved him years ago wasn’t Vivian at all, but someone else.

Who was it, then?

He needed to find that girl as soon as possible.

“At your command, Sir. I’m always here to await your arrival.”

John said with a bow.

He then indicated that he would see Louis off, but Louis politely declined.

As Louis turned to leave, the entrance door swung open and a young woman rushed in.

She wore a blue and white business outfit, her figure stunning and her beauty exceptional.

Her long hair was pulled up in a high ponytail, looking vibrant and bouncy.

She walked briskly, almost bumping into Louis. 

“Oh! I’m so sorry!” she gasped, looking up at Louis with wide eyes.

“It’s f—fine,” Louis said curtly and hesitantly, stepping aside.

For some reason, the moment Louis saw this woman, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

However, he was sure that he had never seen this woman during the years he got married.

So where did this familiarity come from?

Meanwhile, the woman didn’t linger for long.

After apologizing to Louis, she immediately headed toward the elevator.

However, just then, she caught sight of John Wales behind Louis, and she stopped abruptly in her tracks.

A look of surprise quickly appeared on her face as she walked toward John.

“Mr. Wales, nice to meet you. I didn’t expect to meet you here. I’m Juliet Beaumon.”

Apparently, she was here to meet John Wales.

“Hello, Miss Beaumon.”

John said, nodding casually. 

“But isn’t your appointment later next week?”

“I know, Mr Wales. Sorry for the interruption,” Juliet said, her voice anxious but steady. 

“I just wanted to submit this proposal in person.” 

“This is the project proposal that we’ve carefully prepared. Please take a look and give us at Beaumon Group a chance. I promise you won’t be disappointed.”

She handed Louis a folder, her hands trembling slightly.

She felt a surge of anxiety, as this was the last hope for saving her family.

The Beaumons were once a prominent force in Apple City.

Although they couldn’t compare to the few top elite families, they were certainly not weak.

However, recently, her grandfather was framed and fell into huge debt, while her father’s business plummeted, leaving the Beaumon Family on the brink of disaster.

If it weren’t for their deep family roots, they would have already fallen apart.

And now, the only hope for turning things around was to seize the opportunity to partner with the Apex Z Group, relying on their financial strength and influence to reverse the Beaumon Group’s decline.

For this reason, Juliet hadn’t rested well for a fortnight.

She meticulously revised the proposal to ensure it was flawless.

Therefore, she was very confident about the proposal.

However, John merely glanced at the cover of the proposal before handing back the folder.

Juliet’s heart sank inevitably.

“Mr Wales, could you please take a careful look? I promise the contents inside will definitely satisfy you.”

After trying to calm her anxiety, she suggested urgently.

However, John shook his head, his tone firm. 

“Miss Beaumon, to be honest, we never considered partnering with the Beaumon Group. And I’m sure you know the reasons.” 

“The Beaumon Group’s financial state hasn’t been stable for the past few months...”
