"Did you do it for me?" Ava was furious.The last thing she wanted to hear right now, was that her mother had her interest at heart."Of course, I do it for your sake." Seeing her daughter blow at her repeatedly, Amelia also felt embarrassed.Amelia said, "Yes I admit I want to hold the money in my hands. However, it's not that I'm keeping it for myself. In the end, that money is for you two.Ava pursed her lips angrily and said, "Mom, I'm telling you this, James did not ask for any money. Even if he did ask for the money, it won't be for you because that money belongs to James."What belongs to him? Hearing Ava's words, Amelia was not happy. She said you're his wife, is it necessary to distinguish everything so clearly?"Amelia muttered under her breath. How unfair it is! Why didn't you two distinguish everything like this when he lived in our house for free like a loser?"Ava didn't want to argue with her mother. She understood James' personality well. He would never ask others for
Lia Campbell is the fourth child of the Campbell family.She is now the head of the Campbell family.Mr. Campbell had three sons, he loved his youngest daughter, Lia the most and she is the apple of his eye.Lia became one of the most well-known leading people in the antique market of HonorGrave through her influential family name and gorgeous appearance.She has once been publicly recognized as the most beautiful woman in HonorGrave."Of course, I wouldn't dare refuse an invitation from Ms. Campbell!" James said and smiled lightly. The woman was persistent, she wasn't going to stop him from trying to poach him from Life Long Group.What she didn't know was that she was unable and unqualified to persuade James to resign from Life Long Group and join her company instead."Mr. Miller, it seems you know me." Lia smiled and said charmingly, "if so, please give me a chance to treat you to a drink."Ms. Campbell, your beauty is nationally famous, of course, I've heard of you, James smiled b
It is done," Jenny said to Lia, who was sitting opposite her. "Thank you so much, Jenny. Lia grabbed her best friend's hand and said, "Once I have gotten rid of James Miller, let's go out and have fun." "You know we are best friends, so there is no need to thank me. Come to think of it, Jenny was the one feeling greatful. I have to thank you for stopping dating Kent Zinolesky. You know, I should not have blamed you for that. "Now, I finally see him for who he is. If I found out too late, it could have been a disaster. "Hey, you are my best friend, of course, I don't want to see you upset. Lia answered with a smile. The truth was, the reason Lia stopped jenny from dating Kent in the first place was actually that she did not want the two families to join together. If the marriage between the Jefferson and zinoleskies families was successful, there would have been a significant impact on the Campbell family. Jenny broke up with Kent after James embarrassed him profoundly at the Ful
"What kind of big secrets? Can you tell me?" James raised his eyebrows slightly, expressing interest as he spoke."It is..." Lia took out a thin lady's cigarette from the cigarette case on the table in front of her, then lit it up and smoked it skillfully.The blue smoke soon wafted out of her crimson lips and filled the room. Inside, the haze she looked more and more seductive.The lavender scent on her body mixed with the smell of cigarettes, flowing through the entire VIP room.The smell was so powerful that James felt somewhat dazed."Henry Meyer is not the business genius people think he is. Leo Meyer sent him abroad to fix him up so that he would be able to take over the group." Lia exhaled more smoke as she spoke."It is a pity that Henry Meyer turned out to be a disappointment. Leo Meyer had to call him back because he caused a lot of trouble overseas. After that, he spent a huge sum of money to help him start this collection company.""So, Leo Meyer is fully involved because
"Ms. Campbell, if you are looking to start an internal war, don't use me as a sacrifice. James said with a faint smile.'internal war' lingered in Lia's mind,As did the word sacrifice.Her fingers which were holding a lady's cigarette trembled slightly, causing the white ash to fall onto her red nails.It seemed that she had underestimated James.She had not expected him to know about the war in the Campbell family.Jenny's face turned pale. She knew very well that the war between the Campbell family, and how Lia rose to power, were the greatest taboo in her friend's life.After all, the fact that Lia had sacrificed her three brothers for her stardom was not exactly honorable or presentable.It would be disastrous if Lia gets angry."James, what are you talking about?" Jenny shouted at him from the side, "Don't you see that you're still in HonorGrave? It is fine that you refused to take Ms. Campbell's generous offer, how dare you be so disrespectful?""I am just saying the truth. He
I have told you I don't want to be friends with you. James pursed his lips irritably. He then snapped, "Are you deaf?"James, you are crossing the line. Jenny had planned to keep the peace today.James' behavior had utterly appalled her.James might have made it rich and become Meyer's family's esteemed guest. However, he had also offended Lia. There was no way he would ever be allowed to strive in HonorGrave.James had even boldly threatened to snap Lia's neck earlier.He was simply digging his own grave at this point."Ms. Jefferson, watch your words. James shook his head in displeasure, he then uttered, "It sounds like you are challenging me to do something even worse."James proceeded to declare arrogantly, "I came here fully prepared. There's nothing for me to be scared of.""Oh, how valiant," Lia scoffed coldly. "James, you're such a reckless boor. if you had any brains, you have held me hostage and made your escape. You wouldn't have ended up in this state.She continued, "I th
Before Lia could even reply, a slight murmur www heard coming from the corner of the room."G-Got it... Jenny who had crumpled on the ground in fright answered with a trembling voice."Look at her." James moved his wrist up so that Lia could face him. He raised a brow and let out a chuckle. Ms. Jefferson is such a sensible girl.Apart from the fear that had gripped Lia's heart, anger surged within her.She was the ruthless head of the Campbell family. Yet, within a single day, she had been threatened by the same man twice.Just a moment earlier, James was ready to strangle her to death. Now, he was pointing a gun at her throat.This was an utter humiliation to Lia. Unfortunately, she had no choice but to discard her pride to save her life."Got it," Lia muttered through clenched teeth. At that moment, her dignity as the head of the Campbell family had been ripped into shreds. Her arrogance had vanished. James berated her as if she was an elementary school student. Lia lowered her eyes
James smiled and shook his head as he heard the number."5.2 million dollars?" Ava asked. She felt that no matter how rich Life Long Group was, they couldn't auction an item that was worth tens of millions of dollars. Even if it was Divine's auction house, the most acclaimed and renowned house, their most expensive collection would only be worth 13 million dollars."Nope, it's more than that!" replied James shaking his head once more.More than that!" Said Ava as her eyes opened in astonishment. The lights on the ceiling illuminated the eyes, making them seem even more striking and mesmerizing."Yes... I guess that there are around 5 to 8 auction lots that are worth tens of millions. As for those that cost more than 5.2 million dollars... There should be about ten of them, for items that are less than 5.2 million dollars, there should be countless of them, remarked James nonchalantly."Wow!" She nodded, amazement was still clear in her eyes. She added, "so if we calculate, everything
