Chapter 13 What took you so long!
“No, you are a modern exploiter who would squeeze everything from the hard laborer to ensure you reap the most benefits.”.
Men curled his lips, “Thank you for your compliment, it's an honor.”.
Louie got up and said, “Next month Alfred will return, he had begun to withdraw F&R Group's shares to the mainland. When the time comes, you would be able to meet your uncle. Prepare well, Alfred is no longer the same Alfred from the past.”.
The man watched Louie leave, smiled gently, and said to himself,
“Jacob Chapman is no longer the same Jacob from those years.”
As soon as he said it, the phone rang, and when he picked it up, his face sank. There is even some gnashing of teeth.
“Check for me, who just transferred five million to my account, I give you ten minutes!”.
Ten minutes later, the man stared at the phone with a gloomy face.
Johnny Collins, Nova’s childhood sweetheart.
“How did you get this title deed?”
After the meeting, Ewan caught up with Nova to ask about his doubts. Yesterday, it was obvious that everything was a matter of course, but he just told Nova about Tian Haiwan. Not long ago, he received a phone call saying that H. Group had sent someone to sign the purchase. He faintly felt that Nova knew the whole thing. H. Group just bought it yesterday, and today she got the title deed. It feels strange to think about it.
“Mr. Robinson, since this project is entrusted to me, I naturally have my way, you should be concerned about the later planning of the resort rather than holding onto it at this point.”
Nova paused for a moment and her expression was a little displeased.
Ewan frowned and said in a deep voice, “I am also one of the person-in-charge of this project therefore I have all the rights to ask about it.”.
Nova frowned, and coldly said, “Then I can only say no comment!”.
After that, she will quickly step on the elevator and blocked Ewan out.
The colleagues in the surrounding company all looked over curiously, and Ewan's expression was a little ghastly as he stood in place.
Back at the office, Nova glanced at the newspaper on the table, threw it aside, and laughed at the idea that the advertising fee of Tian Haiwan Resort was saved, and the deal was a sure win.
“Knock knock”
“Come in.”
“Nova, Toby asked me to give it to you.”
Secretary Lee looked a little unnatural, he gently placed the photo in his hand on the table and left without waiting for Nova to speak.
Nova saw the photo and her face immediately became cold, and she picked it up and threw it in the trash.
She shook the mouse twice, then stood up in annoyance and took her coat out. When she passed Secretary Lee's office, she said lightly, “If Toby always asked and said that I went to see the client.”.
“Alright.”
Secretary Lee watched Nova leave, he tightened his fist, took out his mobile phone, and dialed a number. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Ella, Nova left alone.”
Nova was distraught. Under Lucie's ‘successful temptation’, Toby seemed to have made up his mind to let her get married. In less than ten days, there were already no fewer than fifty photos sent to her office. It was a lot of effort.
It's not like she did not want to leave the Graham family. However, if the consequences were for Graham’s name changed, she couldn't afford it. This was her promise to her mother. She suddenly wanted to laugh. At this time, she couldn't find one person to talk to. Emilie was being urged to get married by her family, so now she can't get out. Emilie is a person with a family, so naturally, she can't come to accompany her. She's all alone.
The was a lot of background noise in the bar. Red and green lights shone on the faces of the drunken. Nova drank another and went to the bartender.
“Another cup of a depth charge.”
The bartender smiled and kindly reminded, “Beauty, this is your third cup, if you continue to drink, you would be drunk.
Nova suddenly smiled with amorous feelings all over her face, mockingly said, “It's good to be drunk, it's painful to be awake."
The bartender shook his head and wanted to say another word when suddenly someone said, “Isn't this Nova, why is she drinking alone?"
Nova looked over carelessly, her mind was a little dizzy. She didn't recognize the man who was standing in front of her who had a frivolous expression, and she simply didn't speak.
Ayan didn't care either, he pushed the woman next to him away and stretched out his hand to support his chin and looked at Nova with interest.
“I'll buy you a drink, drink as much as you want, and I'll send you home later.”
The bartender knew Ayan so he didn't dare to speak anymore. He made the cocktail and passed it over. He looked at Nova with pity in his eyes.
Nova was unaware. She took the glass and drank it silently and her face gradually flushed.
Ayan squinted his eyes. Just by looking at her cold expression could already cause him to react, this woman is good! The more he thought, the itchier his heart became.
After drinking this glass of wine, Nova wobbled up and was about to leave.
How could Ayan let go of such a good opportunity? He immediately came forward to pull her.
“Nova, you're drunk, I'll take you back.”
Nova frowned, the alcohol was starting to take effect, and the more she was unable to concentrate. She disliked the strong cologne smell in her nasal cavity and struggled to say,
“Let go.”
Ayan curled his lips and smiled. With evil thoughts in his eyes, he suddenly hugged her horizontally and whispered.
“Be good, I'll send you back.”
Nova was groggily taken into the car. She could feel that she was not safe, but she couldn't lift the strength to break free due to the alcohol. Of course, Ayan wanted to get her in the car, but the Graham family was not easy to mess with. He must be fully prepared to let Nova lie under him without a chance to resist.
HX Hotel.
“Simon, Elliot will stay with you tonight. I can't go back tonight. Yes, ok. Tell the old man, yes, hanging up.”
The man hung up the phone and went to the door of 2304, just as he took out the key card, he was stopped.
“Sir, is that what you just asked for? “
The man turned to look at what turned out to be sexy underwear, he frowned and said,
“No.”
The person said sorry and knocked on the next door.
The man opened the door and as soon as he was about to go in, he heard someone complaining next to him.
“What took you so long to come!”
The person said sorry, the man had no intention of listening and was just about to go in when he suddenly heard a woman's soft cry from next door,
“Water~~”
Ayan quickly stuffed the tip to the person and shouted ‘baby’ as he closed the door.
The man frowned and with faint anxiety in his heart, he pushed open the door and threw his jacket on the sofa. He untied his tie, and it still did not calm his heart. He picked up the phone and dialed Nova's number, which only rang twice before it was hung up, and then shut down. His anxiety became more and more intense.
After a few minutes of silence, he could not help but get up and got out.
On the other side, Ayan installed the camera and looked at the bed with the face of the woman. Losing all patience, he was just about to take off his clothes when the doorbell rang. He frowned and scolded as he closed the bedroom door and went out.
“Who are you?”
As soon as he opened the door and saw the man who had to disturb him, Ayan's face sank.
