Chapter 4 The Louis Family's Demon
- Chloe called Jaden's number.
- The phone answered after ringing twice.
- "Hello, may I speak to Mr. Clarke?"
- "I'm Chloe!"
- "Mr. Clarke, how did our Ramona Company offend your company?"
- "Why did you suddenly cut off all business cooperation?" Chloe asked.
- …
- Jaden remained silent on the other side. He listened to Chloe until she finished speaking and sneered.
- "Doesn't Ms. Sallow know better?"
- Jaden suppressed his anger. Chloe who started everything, was still pretending to be innocent up till now!
- "We cooperated with Ramona Company out of courtesy. Of course, I had to give him an explanation!"
- "Since this person is no longer here!"
- "What's so special about your Ramona Company?"
- "Do you really think that Skylark Group needs a small company like yours?"
- Chloe bit her lip. Her hand which holding the phone was trembling.
- "We have a contract. If you don't fulfil it, I can sue you!"
- Jaden sneered. "Go ahead!"
- "It's not unusual for a lawsuit to last three to five years. Skylark Group can form a team of lawyers to slowly play with you!"
- "However, does Ms. Sallow's Ramona Company can hold on for three to five years?"
- "That's it, Ms. Sallow!"
- "You don't have to call me anymore!"
- "I'm very busy and don't have time to answer!"
- Jaden hung up the phone. As the busy tone came through, Chloe's eyes moistened.
- Why?
- Why is this happening?
- Ramona Company.
- Chloe sat dejectedly in her chair.
- Her eyes were full of despair.
- Ramona Company was going to bankrupt soon.
- But at this moment, Skylark Group had blacklisted Ramona Company, and Chloe didn't know who could save her.
- She looked out the window helplessly, seeing the leaves falling in the autumn wind, and everything withered.
- The mobile phone on the table suddenly rang.
- Chloe took a look and saw that it was her best friend, Celine Smith.
- "Hello, Celine!"
- Celine's cheerful voice came through. "Chloe, I heard you are divorced!"
- "I must congratulate you for this joyous event!"
- "Do you want to come out and have fun tonight?"
- Chloe sighed. "Forget it, Celine. I'm not in the mood. Let's do it another day."
- Celine sighed. "My dear Ms. Sallow, what's wrong with you?"
- "You are divorced. Why are you still unhappy?"
- "Don’t tell me that you are in love with that loser Aaron?" Celine teased.
- …
- Chloe smiled bitterly. "How is that possible? There is a problem with the company. Skylark Group has cut off our follow-up funding. If this continues, our capital chain will be interrupted. I'm afraid we will go bankrupt."
- Celine laughed. "Don't worry about that!"
- "Let me tell you. Tonight's banquet is exclusive. All wealthy men in Lagoon City will be there. Since you're already divorced, find someone to accompany you and let him give you some money. Problem solved, right?"
- Chloe was tempted. Saving Ramona Company from this crisis seemed more important than her feeling.
- If this is all that is needed to save Ramona Company, then it is not a bad idea.
- "Okay."
- Chloe agreed.
- Celine nodded. "See you later! Eight o'clock at Peony Hall of Dynasty Pavilion."
- Celine hung up the phone after finished speaking.
- Chloe looked at herself in the mirror, which seemed a little haggard.
- Chloe had to go home and put on some makeup.
- ...
- ...
- Skylark Group.
- Office on the 19th floor.
- Aaron smoked cigarettes one after another. The ashtray was filled with cigarette butts. He might not have smoked as much for the past three years.
- He was depressed.
- Just as one worry disappeared, another arose.
- How could a seven-year relationship be ended overnight?
- However, Aaron also understood that he had lost in this relationship. The best choice was to leave.
- Leave this city and never come back!
- Therefore, Skylark Group's relocation plan is already in progress.
- Aaron turned his chair towards the window. The sunlight shone warmly on this face through the glass. Aaron closed his eyes, and the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated.
- Aaron subconsciously took out his phone and glanced at the message.
- "You b*stard, I've already arrived in Lagoon City. See you at Peony Hall of Dynasty Pavilion at eight o'clock!"
- Aaron frowned slightly. After thought for a while, he replied, "I'm not going."
- …
- The mobile phone vibrated again after a while, and another message came through.
- "You can choose not to come, but explain to your father about your marriage to the Sallow family later!"
- Aaron hates this Carol so much!
- The Louis family has many members, not just him.
- Although Aaron is the eldest son and grandson, he also has an older sister.
- The Louis family's demon, Carol!
- How did this demon find out about his marriage to the Sallow family?
- Tony Louis even let her come to Lagoon City alone.
- Aaron quickly dialled Jaden's phone number.
- Jaden answered the call.
- "Mr. Louis!"
- Aaron took a deep breath. "Prepare the car. We're going to Dynasty Pavilion!"
- "Okay."
- Jaden nodded.
- Aaron stood up from the chair.
- "Carol, oh Carol, I‘m already planning to leave!"
- "Don't you dare cause any trouble for me at this time!"
- Eight o'clock in the evening.
- Dynasty Pavilion.
- Chloe was pushed into Dynasty Pavilion by her best friend, Celine. "Come on, Chloe. There are many important people coming today."
- "If you can hook up with any of them, your company will survive!"
- "You do your best!"
- Chloe nodded. "Sure!"
- However, Chloe felt a bit absent-minded today.
- Chloe was always looking down while walking. Therefore, she didn't see the man walking towards her and bumped into his arms.
- "Sorry, sorry!" Chloe quickly apologized and raised her head.
- The man looked at Chloe and smiled. "It's okay!"
- "Are you both going to the Peony Hall?"
- The man looked at both of them. Chloe was much better than Celine in terms of looks and figure, so he naturally set his sights on Chloe.
- Chloe nodded. "Yes … yes."
- The man took out a business card and handed it to Chloe. "This is my business card. See you later."
- Chloe took the business card. The man turned and left.
- Celine snatched the business card.
- "Chloe!"
- "You're so lucky! Do you know who he is?"
- "Vincent Bradley!"
- "The famous wealthy young man in Lagoon City."
- Celine looked at the business card and seemed couldn't let it go.
- Chloe wasn't as excited as Celine. She didn't know this person, but Vincent's well-dressed and polite demeanour did leave a positive impression on her.
- After all, men with no ambition, like Aaron, are probably rare.
- However, Chloe didn't know that at this moment, outside Dynasty Pavilion, a Rolls-Royce was parked by the roadside.
- The driver got out of the car and opened the back seat door.
- "Mr. Louis, we have arrived at Dynasty Pavilion."
