Chapter 991 Exploitable Value
While talking, I heard a sweet voice saying, "Grandma, I'm hungry!"I saw her joyfully running in, tumbling her little legs as she ran.She was happily surprised when she found me in the living room. She turned to face me quickly and said, "Mom, why did you return so early today? No social event today?"She threw herself into my arms, kissing me.I reached out and rubbed her head. "Why did my baby come back late today?"She raised her little face and said, "There was traffic on the way. The driver said the road was blocked due to an accident, so we waited on the road, and that's why we came back late."She enunciated every syllable.Then she climbed into my arms, hugged my neck, and didn't even mention hunger. I hadn’t spent much time with her lately.Jenny walked in carrying Ava’s backpack. Holding two things alone seemed quite strenuous for her. After all, she was just a bit older than Ava.I quickly told Ava, "You have to carry your backpack from now on. Don't make your sis
Chapter 992 To Take The Bull By The Horns
"Does Wesley still have value?" Grayson asked."Perhaps Wesley could be useful in a critical situation! It seems that Adelaide Mcclain must have come with a mission!" I was led to this conclusion after she eavesdropped.Grayson warned, "Keep an eye on that outsider.""I'll ask Carol to watch her more closely. Let's keep her for now. She might be useful." I also said, "Since she went through all this trouble to come, we can't let her go away empty-handed."After hanging up the phone, I wondered if she dared to arrange a spy around me.It seemed that Liora was still afraid of me! Unfortunately, she might not be able to enjoy her freedom for much longer.Afraid Ava would overeat, I briefly rested and played with the kids in the yard while thinking about today's events.It was very late when Atlas returned, and Ava had already slept.I had just finished showering and was about to see what my mom was doing when he walked into the room with a faint scent of alcohol on him.He came
Chapter 993 He Has Something on His Mind
I was confident this was true, even though it was simply conjecture.There was not much left in Bibury. It's just that my dad was most reluctant to leave behind his books."We'll set out in the next few days and return as soon as possible! We'll see how things go," my mom said."You must settle it when you return, or I'll take charge. Whatever needs to be given away, give it away. Your home is in Foswood, and Bibury was never your home. Why hold onto it?" I said this intentionally.My mom's face stiffened momentarily, and she sneakily glanced at my dad.Afraid they might overthink, I quickly added, "Am I wrong? I am your home, right? I've stayed in Foswood, so why do you want to return to Bibury?"My mom looked relaxed after I said those words, so I knew my theory was correct. Bibury was not their hometown."When we're not here, come back early to care for Ava," My mom said, looking quite worried."Got it! I'll book your flight tickets, and if you want to send things back, yo
Chapter 994 Blatant Bribery
After a lengthy conversation, my father said, "Okay, time to rest! Our flight is tomorrow!""I'll send you off tomorrow!" I sat up from my mom's embrace and asked, "Do you need someone to pick you up there? I can ask Mr. James to go to the airport for you!""Don't bother others. We can take a taxi ourselves!" My dad quickly said, "You don’t need to send us off. The driver will take us to the airport! You take care of Ava, eat, and rest on time while we're away!""I know! I'm not a child!" I clung to him playfully, "Dad! Why are you being so persistent like Mom?"We headed upstairs together as we conversed.Back in the room, I didn't see Atlas. I then went to the study room.It turned out that he was in the study room, organizing stuff. "Finished chatting?" he asked with a smile as soon as he noticed me entering."Yeah! My parents are returning to Bibury tomorrow, and I've already booked their plane tickets."I walked over, and he had also finished packing. He lifted me withou
Chapter 995 There Is No Other Option
He has been treating me like this, almost like a real older brother, since I arrived at Foswood University.I heavily relied on him in my career. I felt uncertain and exhausted if he was not in the company for a day.In response to his question, I replied thoughtfully, "Actually, it's not just you. It includes Eleanor and Grayson. We need to address your concerns. Dynasty Court has rather spacious floor plans, ideal for the parents to live in.""In addition, there's Eleanor, who’s a competent assistant. The current state of the market is quite good!" I excitedly shared Eleanor’s outstanding achievements with Ryan.He also expressed his approval of her, stating, "Indeed. She has strong business capabilities, meticulous management, and is particularly insightful. You chose the right person.""I want to give you all a solution to the housing problem! Furthermore, Grayson shouldn't be living with you all the time. You three are the only ones without a place to live right now. Things w
Chapter 996 Plans, Plans, Plans
However, I could tell that Jaxfood Doors was willing to work with us because they had done their own background search on us.But this was also definitely to Eleanor’s credit. She was a skilled negotiator."But they’d like to meet you," Eleanor said."No problem. We’ll meet them. It'll be an opportunity to understand them better. I still want to visit their factory to avoid what happened with Yorksen. I’ll feel more at ease after seeing their production base." I looked at Eleanor and said, "Quality must be ensured.""Can we do it tonight? Their representative has invited their boss over to ensure a smooth discussion with us." Eleanor added, "They didn't expect us to take the initiative to contact them.""Tonight?" I hesitated.When Eleanor saw my hesitation, she quickly asked, "Do you have other plans?""I do, but it's not that important. If it has to be tonight, can we push it back a bit?" I tried to think of a solution.This time, Eleanor hesitated. I quickly suggested, "Why
Chapter 997 A Purposeful Meeting
When I entered the private room Michelle mentioned, I realized they were already there. But it wasn’t just her and her boyfriend. There were two men who looked like they were in their forties or fifties, and both of them looked pretty sleazy.Michelle noticed me coming in and immediately stood up, approaching me with a smile. She couldn't help but glance at the door with a hint of dissatisfaction. She remarked, "Didn't Atlas say he'd come with you, Chloe? Why are you here by yourself?"I looked at her disdainfully. I had no intention of playing along with her charade. "When did I say Atlas would come with me?"She didn't expect me to refute her and discreetly squeezed my arm. I reacted as if stung by a scorpion, shaking off her hand and glaring at her. "What are you doing? That hurts!"She quickly laughed it off. "You're becoming more hot-tempered, Chloe. You weren’t like this when we lived in the dorm back then."I didn't bother to reply and walked over to the table, taking a sea
Chapter 998 Ignorance is Not Always Bliss
I smiled. "Really? I suppose it’s an honor for me to meet Mr. Benedict today. How lucky am I?”Michelle immediately came over and wrapped her arm around my shoulder, excitedly saying, "You're absolutely right, Chloe! Mr. Benedict is the CEO of Havenhill Corporation. Do you know Havenhill? He practically has a say in everything.”I replied decisively, "I’ve never heard of it."The air grew awkward. Michelle responded quickly, "You don't know Havenhill? I can't believe it, Chloe. You're in the business world, and you don't even know Havenhill?""Yeah, that's why you're disappointed. I've told you before, I'm just in construction, and I’m a complete country bumpkin. How would I know anything? I don’t even know who the big shots are."I just wanted to get out of this situation quickly as my 7 o'clock appointment was the real deal. Staying here with them wouldn’t get me anything.Benedict seemed displeased when he heard what I said. "Your friend doesn't seem very knowledgeable, Michel
