Mia turned to look at her husband, and there were tiny glimmers in her eyes. He is my husband, and you have no right to humiliate him at will.
Rod's smile froze on his face, and his fingers turned white from pinching. "Fine, very well." He suddenly turned around and said, "Just you wait and see. Don't come begging me when you mess up the project!" Ivy stamped her feet, chased after Rod to take a look, and when she came back, her chest heaved violently. "Look at what you've done!" Her finger almost poked Alan in the forehead. He came here with good intentions to offer help, but you've ruined everything! What else can you do except hold us back? Alan quietly watched his mother-in-law lose her temper, and his knuckles unconsciously rubbed the armrest of the sofa. This was the fabric sofa that he had carefully chosen himself, and now it had already been worn until it turned white. Mom, he suddenly spoke up, his voice as light as a feather. The Valley family won't be able to get the project from the Delaney Group. "Bullshit!"They said they can get a third of it... What do you know!
Alan sneered in his heart. I don't know what the Valley family is capable of, but I know that my Delaney Group will never have any cooperation with the Valley family! Mia had no idea what Alan was thinking, and she said to her mother, "Mom, don't blame Alan. Let's talk about it after I come back from the Delaney Group!" Sigh! Ivy let out a long sigh. She just felt that fate was unfair. She herself had married a good-for-nothing husband, and now her daughter had married an even more good-for-nothing man. What kind of sin had they committed!In the morning light, Mia stood in front of the hundreds-meter-high Delaney Group building, holding the cooperation plan that she had worked on all night. She didn't have the slightest bit of confidence in her heart.
The Mill family was so weak. How could this huge enterprise possibly look up to the Mill family?
The contract worth 30 million was like a dream that was out of reach.
She clenched her fists. Since she had taken on the task, she could only push through despite her misgivings.
Seeing that she was nervous, Alan said, "Don't be nervous, honey. You will definitely succeed."
Mia said helplessly, "I hope so! You wait for me here."
She took a deep breath and turned to step into the revolving door. The sound of her high heels hitting the ground was particularly clear in the empty hall.
After Mia's figure disappeared into the elevator, Alan leaned against the outer wall of the building and took out his phone to dial a number. "Vivian, my wife has gone up. Proceed as planned."
After a pause, Alan asked again, "By the way, I heard that the Valley family has a deep cooperation with the Delaney Group?"
Vivian said, "They did have a relatively deep cooperation with the Delaney Group in the past.
For our new project this time, they also want to cooperate deeply and are submitting the materials for the cooperation application to me.
But now it still depends on your intention, young master."
Alan said coldly, "For this new project, I don't want to see the Valley family get involved, and there should be no further cooperation with them in the future."
Vivian quickly said, "Okay, I will definitely handle it well!"
On the other side, Mia was holding the appointment slip at the reception desk, and the sweat in her palms almost soaked through the paper.
A graceful assistant suddenly appeared. Ms. Mia? Vice President Vivian is waiting for you. Please follow me. Mia was stunned. Could it be that Vivian knew she was coming? That's impossible... How could such a famous person like Vivian know that she was coming? Although she couldn't figure it out, Mia knew that this was a rare opportunity and quickly followed the assistant. The female assistant directly led Mia into Vivian's office. When she saw Mia, Vivian stood up from her seat with a smile. "I've heard so much about you, Ms. Mia. I'm Vivian, the vice president of the Delaney Group." Mia suppressed her panic and said respectfully, "Hello, Vice President Vivian. I'm here to discuss the hotel project with you. Although the Mill family is small, we are very dedicated in the field of decoration." As she spoke, she nervously handed over a document. She said, "Vice President Vivian, this is the relevant introduction and qualification documents of our Mill Family Group. Please take a look." Vivian quickly browsed through the documents and directly said, "I think we can cooperate." Mia suddenly looked up and said, "Is it true? I can't believe it. You agreed so quickly? How could it be this simple?"Vivian smiled and said, "Of course it's true.
Although the conditions of the Mill family itself don't meet the cooperation standards of the Delaney Group, our chairman has a very positive opinion of Ms. Mia and is willing to cooperate with you."
Mia asked in surprise, "May I ask who our chairman is?" Vivian said, "Our chairman is the young master of the Smith family in Neon City." "Smith?" Mia murmured and repeated, "I don't seem to know him." In her mind, apart from her husband, she has never known anyone else named Smith. Vivian nodded slightly. Alan had instructed her not to reveal his identity information, so this was all she could say.At this time, Vivian said again, "Ms. Mia, I see that the intended cooperation share filled in your document is $30 million?"
Mia nodded hastily and asked with some uncertainty, "Is it too much?" Vivian smiled and said, "Our chairman has instructed me to increase the cooperation share to $60 million." As she spoke, Vivian took out a contract and handed it to Mia, saying, "Look, the contract has already been prepared in advance. It's a total of $60 million.If you have no objections, we can sign it now."
Mia was really stunned. The Delaney Group, which the Mill family has tried so hard to get close to, actually took the initiative to prepare a contract for her!Moreover, the contract amount has doubled!
Grandma's target was $30 million, but the contract actually stated $60 million!
She suddenly remembered that during last night's meeting, her husband, Alan, had firmly asked her to take on this task. Why was he so confident?Also, when they were at the entrance of the Delaney Group earlier, she had been very unconfident, but he had seemed full of confidence.
Did he already know the result? At that moment, a crazy thought suddenly flashed through Mia's mind. Could the young master Smith that Vivian mentioned be her husband, Alan Smith? But upon reflection, she thought it was too unbelievable. How could that be! Alan was an orphan who had grown up in an orphanage! However, apart from Alan, who else in the world would be so kind to her? The other party had directly offered a contract worth $60 million... She couldn't help asking Vivian, "Vice President Vivian, may I ask if your chairman is named Alan Smith?" Vivian thought to herself that the young master had instructed not to reveal his identity, and she could only say that the chairman was the young master of the Smith family. If Mia guessed it right, wouldn't she be held responsible? So she quickly said, "Ms. Mia, please don't ask any more questions. Our chairman is from a renowned family in Neon City. His identity is highly confidential, and I have no right to reveal it." Mia nodded slightly. The words "from a renowned family in Neon City" that Vivian had said made her come to her senses. Alan was an orphan and couldn't possibly be from a renowned family in Neon City. It seemed that she had been overthinking things...

Chapter 161: The Decoration Summit
Although Jared felt somewhat uncomfortable, the thought that the Mill family would soon be tied to a powerful ally put his mind at ease. Just make your own decisions about this, he said. We have no objections.Nora voiced a hint of disapproval: Mr. Gaisley, I heard you have a family. Tasha is still unmarried—if word gets out about her being with you, how will she face others in the future?Gaisley immediately replied, Sister-in-law, rest assured. When the time is right, I will formally marry Tasha.At these words, the family erupted in excitement. Marry Tasha? That would mean the Mill family was fully aligned with a listed conglomerate! This was incredible.To show his sincerity, Gaisley added, In fact, you may not know that I have businesses across the country. In the future, I will definitely help the Mill family in many ways and make it a top family in Pras City.The Mill family members wept with joy. In front of her grandparents, parents, and brother, Tasha clung to Gaisley's wais
Chapter 160: Investment
The old lady of the Mill family took Tasha's hand and led her to sit on the sofa. She said earnestly, "Tasha, you know our family is facing enormous difficulties now, right?"Tasha nodded. "I know, Grandma.""You were also dumped by the Hardy family, becoming the laughing stock of Pras City. Although Grandma hates to bring it up, it's the truth, and you must be aware of that too."At this, Tasha couldn't hold back her tears. Everyone in Pras City knew she was the woman jilted by the Hardy family. Thus, marrying into another wealthy family in her lifetime was almost impossible—at least, impossible in Pras City. Her future had suddenly grown bleak.The old lady wiped away her tears and said solemnly, "Tasha, you were a little princess in our family before. I doted on you, your parents doted on you, and your brother doted on you. That's why you didn't study hard and refused to work after graduation, which was fine at the time.But now our family's situation has changed. You must transfor
Chapter 159: The Shameless Old Lady
However, the old lady wouldn’t put it that way. In her version of the story, all the blame fell on the unfilial Gilmore family of four—they had betrayed the clan, betrayed their bloodline, and even forced the old lady to kneel and plead.Upon hearing this, Gaisley felt a twinge of indignation and sighed, “To think there are such unworthy descendants. It’s simply outrageous!”Wiping away a tear, the old lady of the Mill family looked at Gaisley and pleaded, “Mr. Gaisley, as the chairman of the Gaisley Group, if you could lend us a hand, the Mill family will surely rise again.”Gaisley smiled awkwardly and said, “Well, to be honest, investment is a very cautious matter. I need to first understand the specific situation of the Mill family’s company, assess its investment value, determine how much to invest and when it can break even, so that I can decide whether to invest or not...”The old lady knew perfectly well that the Mill Group was now a mess. If anyone examined its specifics, no
Chapter 158: Reversing Right and Wrong
Gaisley’s expression froze. So they really are poor relatives, he thought. They’re asking for money before we’ve even said three sentences?However, since he was here to fulfill the old man’s vow, he couldn’t be too unkind. So he went with the flow and asked, “Madam, what kind of trouble has your family encountered now?”The old lady of the Mill family hurriedly said, “We originally had a company specializing in decoration projects called the Mill Group, which was operating well. But now we have a problem with our capital chain and are on the verge of bankruptcy. We’re currently trying to raise funds...”Gaisley nodded and smiled, “The old lady of the Mill family has a blessed face at first glance. Don’t worry, I believe the Mill family will definitely turn bad luck into good fortune!”After hearing this, the old lady of the Mill family felt like cursing.I’m saying all this because I want you to give some money as a token of gratitude—after all, we saved your father’s life!But inste
Chapter 157 Hope Appears
The middle-aged man said, Back then, the Mill family was large, and the entire clan lived in a small town. Later, when war broke out, everyone fled in all directions. My father and the ancestors of this family escaped together. My father was hit by a stray bullet and nearly died, but the old man of this family carried him to safety.The assistant exclaimed in surprise, So there's such a connection.Yes. The middle-aged man sighed, Go knock on the door.Inside the Mill family mansion, the whole family was sitting together, weeping sorrowfully. Suddenly, hearing the doorbell ring, Jared hurriedly dried his tears and went to the courtyard to open the gate. Seeing a middle-aged man a few years older than himself, with a haughty demeanor, accompanied by six bodyguards and two Rolls-Royces parked behind, he knew this was an important figure and couldn't help asking, Whom do you seek?The middle-aged man smiled and asked, Are you a descendant of the Mill family? Jared nodded involuntarily, Y

Alan said flatly, In front of Mia, my father-in-law, and mother-in-law, tell us the true purpose of your visit. If you're sincere enough, I'll spare them. If not, I'm sorry, but this gang hunt order is set in stone!Upon hearing this, Carlson, who was kneeling on the ground and scared out of his wits, cried out, Grandma, tell the truth! Tell Alan the truth! Otherwise, I might lose my life, Grandma! Jared, fearing he would be implicated, also hurriedly pleaded, Mom, just tell the truth.The old lady of the Mill family had now given up struggling. With a sigh, she looked like a rooster that had lost a fight and said, Alan is right. I did come here to trick you back and deceive Mia into returning to the Mill Group.Now that you've spoken, you can leave. The old lady glared at him venomously and said, You should at least let me finish. I have my own difficulties...Alan said coldly, You have no difficulties, only cause and effect!The old lady was utterly dejected. She nodded weakly, full
