Chapter 131
Since Callum had inherited Sebastian’s inheritance, the sexual temptations around him have gradually increased in number.Whether it was a sexy dominatrix like Nancy or charming young flowers like Margret and Eva, he has had his fair share of beautiful women fawning over him.All he had to do was give them a phone call, and these ladies would obediently strip naked in a hotel room, waiting for him to come to them.Nonetheless, Callum had never done anything like that to them, because he wanted to find a woman who really loved him for him and not a woman who loved his money. If Callum really engaged in such a relationship with these women under the context of money, he may not be able to get rid of them.Plus, he had held back for Ivory's sake. Although Ivory was reluctant to go public about admitting that Callum was her fiancé, Callum had always wanted to pursue her. To him, since he had promised to marry Ivory, he had decided to take full responsibi

Despite the persistent ringing of his phone, Callum chose to ignore it and continued to undress himself.“Callum, your phone is ringing.." Madeleine hesitated for a moment and stated the obvious.“To hell with it!” Callum replied with a blank expression on his face.“It must be something serious if someone is calling you so late. You'd better pick up and find out what's going on. We have all night. Don't worry!” Madeleine reasoned."Huh...” Callum took a deep breath, and after cursing whoever was calling him under his breath, he retrieved the phone from his pocket.Once Callum saw the name on the phone, he took back his curses, stunned because the person who was calling him was none other than his fiancée Ivory.“It's so late, why are you calling me?” Callum picked up and asked the person on the other end of the line.“Your company...”“I'll send you the company address b

In Ivory's company building, Callum was surprised to hear that Abby had told him that he had something to do with the problems going on in Ivory's company. If it were not for today's visit, Callum would not even have known that Ivory was running a cosmetics business.“I have never even been to this company. What do the problems in this company have to do with me?” Callum looked at Abby and asked.“Don't act dumb. You’re the very reason things have gone so downhill in this company. If it weren't for you, would James have withdrawn his investment in Ivory's company? If James didn’t withdraw his investment, would these shareholders have come here to make trouble?” Abby said softly with a pout.“James?” At this, Callum could not help being taken aback, and then he recalled that the rich heir who proposed to Ivory last night seemed to be called James.“Abby, can you tell me in detail what this matter has to do with
Chapter 134
In the conference room of Ivory’s company, a middle-aged man in a suit shouted at Ivory with an extremely furious expression, “Ms. Holland, you must settle this matter today no matter what, or we won't leave!”“That's right, if we don't get the money today, we won't leave!”“Yeah, we’re not leaving!”The other shareholders began screaming at Ivory one after another.“Mr. White and Mr. Gordon, will you give me a few more days? For my father’s sake? I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation in three days," Ivory said to everyone with a very tired expression while stretching out her hand and rubbing her temples."You want a few more days?” Once the middle-aged man heard this, he could not help but sneer.“Ivory, Ivory, we had invested in your company on behalf of our friendship with your father, and it was for your father's sake that we let you manage this company!"&l
Chapter 135
In the conference room, right after Callum threw the folder in the middle-aged man's face, everyone was stunned, shocked expressions splayed across all their faces.They did not expect Callum to be so bold, to dare to throw things in their faces.Ivory had completely lost her cool now. She finally understood that Callum was here to make trouble, and his appearance had only made matters worse for her today.After the middle-aged man had collected himself, he turned and reprimanded Callum with a shout, "How dare a kid like you throw something at me?""Weren't you just laughing happily a moment ago? Why don't you keep going?" Callum narrowed his eyes and said coldly to the middle-aged man."You… you..." the middle-aged man was trembling with anger now, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Ivory, you deliberately asked this kid to humiliate me today, didn't you? I originally planned to give you a chance for your father's sake, but now that this has happe

Since Callum could not reveal his identity yet, he was planning to find a place where he could be alone to call Salem and ask him to come over so that he could handle the situation.Nonetheless, before Callum had walked out of the conference room, a young man in a white suit strolled in languidly.Callum glanced up at the young man and found that this young man was none other than the rich heir, James, who had confessed to Ivory in the bar last night."Mr. White!""Mr. White!"Noticing the rich heir, everyone hurriedly got up from their seats as if their asses were on fire and clambered to greet him courteously.The way they had reacted to his arrival as if they were already expecting it, made it obvious that these people had been in collusion with him for everything that had happened today, up to this point. Otherwise, they would have at least seemed surprised."Ivory, what's going on? Oh, is there a party here today? So many people have gathered,

After Callum had left the conference room, he walked to the corner of the corridor where he would not be disturbed, then dialed Salem's number on his phone.Ring...After a few rings, Salem picked up."Mr. Bowman, how can I help you today?" Salem asked courteously."I need you to help me invest in a company right now. Prepare an investment of a hundred million dollars!" Callum replied with a blank expression on his face."All right, tell me the name of the company, and I'll arrange for someone to handle that right away!" Without missing a beat, Salem responded immediately."This matter cannot be handled by anyone other than you. I'm going to need you to see to this personally. I also need you to come over to Elianto Cosmetics Limited right away. This company belongs to my fiancée, Ivory, and I'm worried that she'll suspect my true identity if she knows that I'm behind this. That's why I need you to come over and discuss the details of the investm

Initially, Ivory had no choice but to become Callum's fiancée in order to solve a crisis in her father's company.Although Ivory had made an agreement in black and white with Callum, promising that they would be husband and wife on paper, the two had agreed to live their own lives without interfering with each other's.However, in fact, Ivory was unable to act that way. There was no way for a soft-hearted woman like her to have a husband on paper and be with someone else in private, so Ivory had been investigating and trying to understand Callum in secret, trying to accept Callum in her own time.Through Ivory's recent investigations into Callum's background, she deemed that Callum was actually not a bad person, despite his poverty.That was why Ivory had called Callum to her company that day so that they would go and get their marriage certificates completed and make their marriage official once and for all.She had plans to let Callum move into her

In the conference room, Ivory walked over to Callum and reached out to pick up the contracts, and then asked Callum with a very puzzled expression, "Callum, you do know what it means for you to sign these contracts today, right? These contracts are legally binding, and this is a large sum of money we are talking about!""Of course, I know what it means. I will bring an investor over tomorrow at noon. Don't worry!" Callum replied in a very calm tone."Dude, how can you be sure that you'll be able to bring someone over tomorrow? And even if you find someone to come, how are you so sure that they will really invest in my company?" Ivory widened her eyes and asked Callum, the absurdity of the situation truly dawning on her now."Yeah, go ahead if you want to go to jail so badly. Why implicate Ivory? Don't you dare bring her down with you!" Abby curled her lips and warned Callum sternly."If I fail to find someone to invest in your company tomorrow, I'll cancel our en
Chapter 140
At eight o'clock the next morning, Ivory made up her mind after an entire night of tossing and turning in bed.Her father was not wrong. Since Callum was a liar, marrying him would be just the same as marrying James. She had given up on finding happiness through marriage anyway, so why not maximize the benefits of her marriage?The White family was well-known in Solbury City, their business was worth hundreds of millions in assets. If she married James, she would not only be able to solve all the problems she was facing now, but also ensure that the Holland family would never have to worry about money ever again in her lifetime.However, if she married Callum, it would only solve her father's company's crisis, and that was it. In the future, Ivory would have to worry about providing for both Callum and herself, making her workload twice as heavy.Thus, if she had to make a choice between these two people, even a fool would know to choose James over Callum.A
