Chapter 412
Nolan drove them straight to the apartment that Cherry’s dad had given to them. Inside the car, his aunt kept holding the key tightly in her hand, like if she loosened her grip, it would disappear. His uncle kept looking at the gift card over and over again, still finding it hard to believe.They had been living in a very uncomfortable house all their life. The house was not just small in size, it was also very old. The paint on the walls had peeled off long ago. Some parts of the ceiling were cracked and the doors made noise whenever they opened or closed them.Most of the things inside the house were either not working properly or had already worn out completely. The sofa had sunken in the middle, the kitchen cabinets were loose, the fan in the sitting room made a loud sound whenever it was turned on.The house was filled with mold in some corners, especially during the rainy season. There was always a musty scent inside and no matter how much his aunt cleaned, the smell never truly

“We don’t even need to sit down for a meeting before I know what you want to talk about,” Cherry’s dad said with a small chuckle. “It’s about your company. You want us to be partners, or you want me to invest in it. I already know. I’ll do it. I don’t mind. I can agree to basically anything you want.”“What… just like that?” Peter asked immediately, his eyes widening in shock. He even blinked twice to be sure he heard correctly.Mary was just as shocked as he was. Her mouth fell open slightly as she stared at Cherry’s dad.“Is this true?” she asked quickly. “Do you really mean it? You’re really going to make us partners?”“You’ll be a strategic partner,” Cherry’s dad said with a confident smile. “I promise you.”Peter felt like his legs were about to give way. He wanted to kneel down right there and thank Cherry’s dad. He couldn’t believe what had just happened. He knew very well what it meant to become a strategic partner of Princeton Holdings. That was not a small thing and was not

In just a few words, Cherry’s dad had dismissed him completely.“You can’t do this… you can’t,” Peter said desperately. “I was among the first set of companies to reach out to you. I was one of the first to suggest that we meet and collaborate. You can’t just do this.”He tried to move closer, panic clearly written on his face, but before he could take another step, Cherry’s dad’s bodyguard pushed him back again.“Are you deaf?” the bodyguard barked. “Didn’t you hear the words of the CEO clearly?”Peter staggered slightly but managed to steady himself. He knew that if he didn’t push further, he would lose everything. This was not something he could afford to lose. Not after how much effort he had put into trying to revive his company.So he did the only thing he could think of.He turned and rushed toward Nolan.“Nolan, please,” he said urgently. “My dear nephew, you are someone of importance to the CEO. Please help me beg him. Please plead with him to give me a chance. Just one chanc

Peter, on the other hand, wasn’t happy at all. He didn’t like what he was seeing. He didn’t like that Nolan’s uncle and aunt were the only ones benefiting from Cherry’s dad. He didn’t like that all the attention was on them alone.He wanted the focus to be on him too. He wanted Cherry’s dad to notice him, to acknowledge him, to give him gifts too, or better still, engage him in a proper conversation.Watching Cherry’s dad show Nolan’s family so much respect made him feel uncomfortable inside him. He felt ignored and overlooked, and he hated it.“Sorry, Mr CEO…” Peter said quickly, forcing a polite smile on his face. “Since you’ve finished your business with them, do you mind if we talk for a minute? I’ve wanted to see you since I entered the city. My name is Peter Reef, and I would like us to talk about business..”He didn’t even get to finish his sentence.One of the bodyguards that came with Cherry’s dad suddenly stepped forward and stood right in front of him, glaring at him with
Chapter 408
Nolan’s aunt and uncle couldn’t believe what they were seeing. As they both stared at the key in their hands, it felt unreal, like they were trapped inside a dream they might wake up from at any moment. Everything happening in front of them felt too good to be true.When they thought about it carefully, if they combined both the gift card and the key to the new house that Cherry’s dad had just given them, it wasn’t going to be a small amount of money at all. It would easily be over five to six million dollars.For their family, that amount was unimaginable. It was money they had never thought they would ever touch in their entire lives. Even dreaming about such money felt unrealistic to them.Nolan’s uncle cleared his throat, his voice shaking slightly as he spoke.“I’m so sorry, but… this is too much,” he said, shaking his head slowly. “This is too valuable for us to accept. We really can’t. It’s too much.”“Oh no, no,” Cherry’s dad said immediately, waving his hand. “You have to acc
Chapter 407
Mary had always been the kind of woman who married into wealth and became rich overnight. While her sister married into poverty and suffered every day, she lived comfortably. Because of that, she always felt superior. She always felt like she was above her sister and her family.In her eyes, her sister’s family were peasants. People who needed her help just to survive. That was why she brought her family’s unwanted clothes and gave them out like charity, feeling like she was doing them a huge favor. She believed her sister should be grateful.But now, as she watched what was happening with Nolan, she was completely stunned.Her husband had told her earlier that day that he needed to befriend Cherry’s dad no matter what, because it would benefit his business greatly. He had been trying so hard. Yet, Cherry’s dad wasn’t even paying him any attention.Instead, all his attention was on Nolan.That realization hit Mary hard and It infuriated her. At the same time, shame washed over her.He
