I heard Chloe kept dragging things out.
Fortunately, Jack wasn’t in a hurry either. He wanted to
but // it for the public opinion to die down before proceeding with the divorce.
He said as long as he didn’t have to see her, he wouldn’t be ed.
For rich heirs like him, once they don’t want to see someone, they have a hundred ways to get rid of them.
Don’t answer calls, block on SnapChat.
When Chloe called Lin, the assistant, he always said Jack was in a meeting.
Only Jack’s lawyer eagerly urged her to name a price.
The once inseparable lovers were now separated by class.
But Jack wasn’t completely free of troubles either.
His uncles and senior executives used his romantic scam to question his ability to lead the company:
“If he can’t even see through such a crude trick, how can he handle the schemes in the business world? He’ll suffer big losses.”
“He’s in the news headlines every day, affecting the brand image.”
“Young Master J is still too inexperienced. He needs more tempering.”
The uncles first made a fuss to Grandpa, then argued at the board meeting, seemingly about to sideline him.
At this point, Jack thought of me again.
Our farmilies had always worked closely together.
As long as my family backed him, his position as heir would be secure.
I agreed very quickly:
*Sure, give me an extra 3% on this deal, and my family will support you.”
“If that works for you, go to the legal department to re–sign the contract.”
He looked at me, his eyes full of mixed emotions.
He asked:
“Zoe, is business all that’s left between us?”
I wanted to say: What else could there be?
Bad he spoke again, his eyes showing a hint of affection:
“Actually, whatever percentage you want, I’m willing to give.”
د
I laughed lightly:
“I’ll take whatever you dare to give, but romantically, don’t hold out hope.”
He asked me:
“Are you serious about that Ryan guy?”
I felt a bit offended:
“Jack, I’m serious about every relationship I’m in.”
“I hope you won’t ask such impolite questions again, or make
H
any inappropriate requests.”
“You should know that in your current situ you’re no longer good enough for me.”
He lowered his head and said quietly:
“Yes, I gave up halfway.”
