Chapter 804 Mental Preparation
She glanced at me. "I don't feel like I'm above her. But every time it involves Trinity, I become secondary."Like this time, he promised to accompany me to Bourdamun... but Trinity had something come up, and she disappeared entirely. I get it. The matter is crucial, involving life and death. But is it too much to call and inform me?” She suddenly sat up, looking at me as if seeking an explanation.I felt that Jared did indeed go too far this time. Regardless of the urgency, he should have informed Ivanna before leaving."Even if it's a waste of time, can't he spare this bit of time for me?" Ivanna then suddenly sighed in despair. "But no, he hasn't given me any notice, and he even started playing the disappearing act.“Does he really care about me? What if something happened to me? If I'm in danger now, who do I contact?”Ivanna's words left me feeling a sense of helplessness. I completely understood Ivanna's point. As a lover, Jared's actions were indeed a bit too much.At th
Chapter 805 Shares Transfer Agreement
I softly comforted her, "Wait for him to finish his tasks, and then let him give you a proper explanation. There's no way for you to contact him right now, so being angry only affects you."You're not a child. Be calm, since you're prepared not to rely entirely on him. Don't make yourself look lost. Even in deep love, learning to be independent is a wise approach. That's what you advised me back then.”"Heh... I underestimated you. I forgot how you felt when you first discovered Matthew’s affair," she teased me, "Feeling ignored is terrible. Chlo, I'm a bit tired. I can't understand him. It's exhausting."Her words were undoubtedly her true feelings. Jared was indeed a person not easily understood.With her head drooping, she sighed, "I'm going. I want to go home and sleep. This damn job is truly inhumane."After saying that, she stood up and fixed her hair, still tired."Well, you go back and rest. What do you want to eat tonight?" I observed her, knowing she was in a bad mood
Chapter 806 Worthless
My words were sharp, and I knew it. But I intentionally chose to speak this way."I really want to transfer those shares to you, Ms. Chloe. After all, moving forward, I hope to have a long-term partnership with Tanum. I've carefully weighed the pros and cons, and Tanum is more than capable of meeting my requirements. So, I find that my previous blind investment was quite naive.""There's no need for me to correct your mistake," I said bluntly."I don't want you to do that. But I think you’ll have some ideas for Ardora." Melvern was trying to convince me.Who did he think he was? Did he think I was a fool he could manipulate at will? Even if I were interested in Ardora, this wouldn't be how I acquired it.Ridiculous! What was he thinking?"I don't know what you’re thinking, but I know myself! I believe you also know I've never been interested in anything that belongs to someone else, especially Ardora. I don’t intend to work with Liora.”I spoke candidly, "It seems as though ther
Chapter 807 No Mercy
He walked in and said, “Chlo…”He paused, noticing the guest in my office, but then continued walking in.Melvern, who was seated on the sofa, glanced at him, smiling as he spoke, "So it's you, Mr. Arnold. Long time no see."Arnold looked at him and smiled back. "Mr. Melvern! It's been a while. You're still alive?"It was clear that they were very familiar with each other.Arnold, with his usual lack of formality, asked Melvern, "What are you doing here?""I came to talk to Ms. Chloe about something," Melvern replied, maintaining a polite demeanor and shifting in his seat.Arnold walked over confidently and took a seat on the sofa. He looked at Melvern and asked, "What business do you have with my sister? She's engaged in legitimate business, and you’re a person of questionable integrity. What legitimate business could you discuss? Stop messing around."I almost laughed when I heard what Arnold said. It looked like my younger brother was the true expert in straight talking."D
Chapter 808 Dirty Tricks
Melvern looked at me delightedly. "Yes, Ms. Chloe?”I stood up, picked up the document bag he had brought, and handed it to him. "You forgot this, Mr. Melvern.""I don’t need that. Those are copies. You can keep them. If you need anything, please let me know." Melvern smiled at me."It’s fine. I'll just contact you if I need something.”"Alright then." Melvern took the document bag helplessly. "I'll take my leave now."He then walked decisively toward the exit, and I saw him to the door, instructing Carol to escort him out.Carol nodded and followed Melvern while I returned to my office.Arnold looked at me and asked, "What did he come here to discuss?""Ardora’s equity. He wanted to transfer the shares to me, but I declined," I said casually. "I really don't like him. He left thanks to you."As I finished speaking, Carol knocked on the door and walked in holding a familiar document bag.“Mr. Melvern just gave this to me again, Chloe. He said you should keep it. He thinks you
Chapter 809 What Happened Back Then
When I heard what Arnold said, I was certain that he knew what happened. It seemed I had chosen the right person to ask about this."It’s a long story, and it’s complicated because it involves many people from prominent families and even led to loss of lives. That’s why those who involved coordinated their testimonies, swiftly suppressed the incident, and have maintained a unified stance to keep it under wraps."Arnold's explanation was starting to shed light on why this incident had been suppressed."The root cause and key figure of this incident was Melvern, so the wealthy families of Foswood joined forces to attack him. The Sunny family feared further investigation and was forced to move away from Foswood under joint pressure from those families. It was to appease public outrage."As I listened to Arnold's detailed account, the gravity of the situation became apparent."But the way you describe it, it sounds like Foswood's elite turned against him. What did he do to incur the c
Chapter 810 They’re All the Same
I was shocked, and completely forgot any embarrassment. "That’s outrageous. No wonder no one wants to talk about it."Now that I understood the true nature of the incident, it was clear why no one wanted to speak about it. That was truly a dark chapter in Foswood's history.I looked at Arnold in disbelief, feeling awkward as I asked, "Were... were all the participants voluntary?""How could that be? There’s no way that all of them volunteered. Even if they had, it wouldn't change the fact that they were manipulated. If we hadn't left in time, we would have been victims too," Arnold said without confirming or denying anything."You mean... you mean they used some special methods?" I guessed, trying to understand the situation."Yes. They initially used those methods on girls with no status or family background. But the more they indulged, the bolder they became," Arnold elaborated.As I pieced together the incident with what Arnold was telling me, I thought about Melvern's demeano
Chapter 811 A Shocking Scandal
"You might as well say that you're smart. That's the crux of the matter," Arnold teased. I wasn't affected at all. "Exactly. Wasn't it supposed to be super exclusive, as Melvern prepared it? How did they get caught?""At first, the parents involved in the event suspected us, the Beringer brothers, because only a few of us left the gathering. The leak could only be from us," Arnold explained. "All fingers pointed at us. That's a typical reaction.""Are you saying someone reported this?" I asked curiously. It seemed unbelievable, as the informant had to be one of the attendees.I glanced at Arnold, asking, "Was it someone from here?""Yes, it was someone with inside information." Arnold didn't deny it. "You don't think it was us, do you?"He looked at me, teasingly smiling. "At that time, all accusations were directed at us. Grandma warned us not to say anything. So, regardless of how the outside world criticized the Beringer family, we just ignored it.""Grandma Rose is indeed
