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
Chapter 567 The Mill Family Buys a Car
The miserable Jess finally had the ruby necklace removed from his intestines after undergoing surgery.Fifteen days of strict bed rest awaited him, so he had no choice but to lie obediently in the intensive care ward of his family’s hospital.The pain pump could not be used continuously, as it would harm his body, so it was removed on the second day after the operation.Thus, he was left writhing in unceasing agony in his bed.The more intense the pain, the deeper his hatred for Alan grew.He longed to recover quickly, then rush to Plass City to settle the score with Alan—preferably to tear him limb from limb. Otherwise, he would not live up to his title as the Third Young Master of the Dewinsell family.But Alan did not give him a second thought at all.Mia’s high school classmate was getting married on the weekend, and Alan had promised his wife that he would borrow the two luxury cars to be the wedding cars for her classmate. So on Friday, he called Bert directly and told him to ar
Chapter 566 The Surgery
Virtually no prominent clan refrains from intermarrying with other such clans; in fact, some large and prosperous clans forge marital alliances with multiple prominent families all at once.This is much like the European royal families. In those old monarchical states of Europe, all the kings and queens are related to one another—a result of centuries of intermarriage that has bound the entire European aristocracy into one vast extended family.Jess’s mother, Rebecca, was once a young lady of the Meloan clan and is also Caroline’s aunt.She married Jess’s father, Townsend, thirty-five years ago.When the Dewinsell and Meloan clans formed their marital alliance back then, the Meloan clan was even slightly more powerful than the Dewinsell clan.In the years since, however, the Meloan clan has been in a steady decline, while the Dewinsell clan has gone from strength to strength. Gradually, a gap has opened up between the two families.Even so, the patriarch and matriarch of the Dewinsell
Chapter 565 The Hidden Truth
Thankfully, Mom, Dad, Grandpa and Grandma had arrived just in time. If they hadn’t, and he’d ended up getting her pregnant without any protection, he would have been finished.He said to Rebecca with a penitent tone: Mom, don’t worry. I’ll never do anything like this again......Rebecca sighed and said earnestly: It’s no use saying that to me. You need to apologize properly to Grandpa later and make sure he forgives you. Do you understand?I understand, Mom...... Jess nodded his head vigorously, then asked with immense frustration: Mom, why did you all get here so fast? I thought you’d be at least another 20 minutes.Rebecca shot him a glare and said crossly: We’d originally planned to drive over, but when Grandma heard what happened, she was so worried about you that she suggested we take the helicopter instead. Who would have thought we’d walk in on something like this? Hurry up and get changed, then go check on your grandma.Jess was consumed by remorse. When he heard his mom tell
Chapter 564 The Family Bloodline
One specialist said, Third Young Master, your father and mother are on their way and will be here shortly. We’ll first take you to the ward to wait, and in the meantime, we’ll prepare the surgical instruments and formulate the surgical plan. It’ll be just right for you to meet them before you go into the operating room.Jess asked, They’re coming?Yes, the specialist replied. They’ve already set off to rush over here.Jess could only nod his head.He was then taken by a nurse to the intensive care ward.Inside the ward, a pretty young nurse bustled about him—one moment changing him into a hospital gown, the next wiping his body down.At the sight of the beautiful nurse, an evil thought immediately crossed Jess’s mind.It would probably take his parents half an hour to arrive, and he wouldn’t be able to have sex for the next three months anyway. Why not take this chance to hook up with this pretty young nurse before he went under the knife?As the young nurse was changing his clothes,
Chapter 563 The Operation
All the members of the Green family except Clyde and Edwin burst into warm applause.They had also figured out the rationale behind this.They knew Lucia must have won Alan’s deep affection—otherwise, he would never have helped her so many times, and what was more, he had given her two Rejuvenation Elixirs just for her sake.After all, a single Rejuvenation Elixir had been sold to Blair for 600 million US dollars; the actual value of two such elixirs must be at least 1.2 billion US dollars, wasn’t it?Now that Lucia had become the family head, Alan would undoubtedly help her even more in the future. With Alan’s help and guidance, the Green family would surely go from strength to strength.Watching everyone clap enthusiastically, the head of the Green family felt immense comfort in his heart.His greatest fear was that Lucia would fail to win the obedience of the clan after becoming the family head.If the clan members below harbored resentment and resistance toward her, it would spell
Chapter 562 The Wedding Car
Mia said earnestly, This high school classmate of mine has had a tough lot in life. Her family has always favored sons over daughters and never paid much attention to her. What’s more, she’s marrying because she’s pregnant, so her in-laws don’t think much of her either. She asked me today if I could drive my BMW as the lead car in her wedding send-off convoy. She probably thinks a BMW is already a luxury car, but you know how it is in the city now—for wedding convoys, the lead car is at the very least a luxury vehicle worth over a million yuan. No one uses a BMW 5 Series as the lead car. So I’m begging you, could we borrow one of the two luxury cars from Mr. Gustav and Mr. Burt that you have for her to use as the lead car...Alan asked in surprise, Borrowing a car is no problem at all—I haven’t driven them since that auto show. But honey, I’ve only ever heard of wedding processions that pick up the bride, never ones that send her off. What kind of custom is this?Mia explained, This c
