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...Latest Chapter

Huh?The husband and wife were both stunned speechless the moment they heard this.Alan looked equally awkward and said earnestly, I’m so sorry, Uncle Omba, Aunt Nancy.

You were only eight when you were forced to wander alone in the world. You must have had no say in many things. Let’s put the engagement aside for now. Tell me in detail how you survived all these years.That’s right, Nancy chimed in with a nod. We can take our time to talk about the engagement later. Let’s sit down and have lunch first, chat while we eat.Omba took Alan by the hand and seated him beside his own chair.As soon as they sat down, he warmly urged Alan, Alan, let’s eat first.

Among the scarce standalone villas located in the city proper, Oceanfront Mansion ranks as one of the most exclusive high-end villa compounds.Every villa here is priced at no less than two hundred million US dollars, grand and extravagantly furnished.Even so, it still cannot hold a candle to the Smith Family’s mansion.In Alan’s memory, the Smith Family residence was not a luxury villa built by real estate developers, but the former royal mansion of a Qing Dynasty prince.It embodied true understated luxury and magnificent grandeur. Alan recalled that the dozens of golden nanmu pillars alone inside the mansion were priceless treasures.It was said that as early as more than a decade ago, a single such pillar was already valued at over a hundred million on the market.Juliet drove the car back home. The courtyard gate and the garage door slid open automatically.A maid in her forties hurried into the garage, opened the car door for her, and asked respectfully, Miss, Madam has finishe
Chapter 684 Reunion with Juliet
Luckily, he had run into Juliet again at just the right time. If their reunion had waited until after Omba passed away from his severe illness, there would have been nothing he could do to save him.He then comforted her gently, Don’t worry too much about this. I’ll sort everything out for you once I arrive.Juliet said in a choked voice, Thank you, Brother Alan. Just having you come to see Dad will make him so happy!Not wanting to talk too much and risk Caroline beside him catching any important details from the conversation, Alan said, I’ll let you go for now. The plane is about to take off, and we need to turn off our phones.Juliet replied quickly, Alright, Brother Alan. I’ll wait for you in Neon City!After Alan hung up the call, Caroline beside him couldn’t help but smile and tease, You’re really something now, Alan. No wonder everyone calls you Master Alan. From the way you were talking just now, it sounds like someone’s waiting for you to rush over and save the day!Alan gave

Avi nodded with an ingratiating smile and said, Then make sure you stay safe on the way!Watching Alan walk out the door, she quickly called out after him, Dear son-in-law, if you come across anything nice in Neon City, bring me a little gift back by the way!Mm, alright.Alan gave a perfunctory reply and stepped out of the house.Plus City AirportAlan had no luggage with him, so he went straight to get his boarding pass and passed through security.Since Claude had booked him a first-class ticket, he headed directly to the VIP lounge after clearing security.The flight was scheduled to take off at 10 a.m. At nine twenty, a lounge staff member personally escorted him to board the plane ahead of time.Alan was the first to get on board.

She couldn’t help walking over to Alan, snuggling gently into his arms. Gazing up at the twinkling stars scattered across the sky, she said with a look of pure happiness, After the New Year, it’ll be our fourth year of marriage.Yeah. Alan couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Four years already. Time really flies.Does it feel fast? Mia said earnestly. To me, time hasn’t passed quickly at all. So many things have happened in these four years, and you’ve changed more than anyone.Alan scratched the tip of his nose. Oh? Have I changed?Mia nodded. Of course you have! Your whole demeanor, aura, and bearing are completely different from when we first got married.She murmured softly, It’s strange though. When I think about it, the changes are huge… yet at the same time, it all feels so natural. It’s as if you were always meant to be this way.Alan let out a soft sigh and said to her, By the way, honey. The feng shui consultation trip to Neon City is all set. I’m leaving tomorrow morning.
