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 630 The Orphanage 1
Moreover, after she turned 20, her father often said that as soon as Alan was found, she had to marry him—because it was a promise her father had made to his late friend, benefactor, and brother. Juliet had unconsciously accepted this arrangement over the years. For all this time, she had always believed she would find him, never imagining that he was already married!Alan cleared his throat and apologized, Juliet, I do bear responsibility for this. I owe you and Uncle Omba an apology…An apology? Juliet snapped angrily. If you want to apologize, then regardless of my father being your elder, at the very least for the years he spent searching for you, you should apologize to him in person! What do you mean by not letting me tell my father that we’ve found you?Looking at her furious expression, Alan said earnestly, Juliet, think about it. I lived in the Pless City Welfare Home for a full ten years, yet Uncle Omba came to Pless City to look for me time and again and never found me. Why
Chapter 629 Alan’s Doubt 2
In other words, the Smith family must have known all along that I was living in the Pless City Welfare Home.It is even highly possible that I have never escaped the Smith family’s surveillance all these years.This explains why Kendall was able to find me so easily in the hospital.The true reasons hidden behind this seem to be growing more and more complex...Seeing Alan fall silent once again, Juliet asked with great concern:Brother Alan, are you suspecting that there is some conspiracy behind this?Alan nodded:I feel that something is not right, but I haven’t sorted it out yet.Juliet quickly said:Shall I call my father and ask him to come over at once!With that, she reached for her phone.No, don’t! Alan stopped her hastily.Don’t tell anyone about seeing me, not even your father!Juliet was very confused.She thought that her father had been searching for Alan for years, tormented by the fact that he could never find him, and consumed with guilt over it.Now that she had acc
Chapter 628 Alan’s Doubt 1
And in his memory, this girl cried all the time. Every time he tried to shake her off, she would burst into tears, leaving the young, playful Alan utterly exasperated.What’s more,whenever Juliet cried, Alan’s mother would say to him seriously:Juliet will be your wife in the future, so you must not bully her, understand?The moment he heard those words, Alan felt uncomfortable all over. Back then, he spent his days playing with all kinds of toy guns and having a great time—how could he have thought about getting married? And the thought of marrying a crybaby who followed him around like a shadow made him resist even more.But that was just a childish triviality after all. After leaving Neon City and ending up in Pless City, he spent every day thinking about how to survive, and never gave another thought to Juliet, whom he had already found somewhat annoying.Yet he never could have imagined that the little girl who used to snivel so much back then had now grown into a stunningly col

That’s impossible!Juliet blurted out. I can’t be wrong. Your features and your temperament still show how you were when you were little!Alan was even more surprised inwardly, but he said firmly,No way. I’ve been an orphan since I was little and grew up in a welfare home. How could you possibly know me?Juliet was about to say more, but seeing the warning look in Alan’s eyes, she sighed and said,Maybe I really did mistake you for someone else. You look so much like a childhood friend of mine who disappeared many years ago.Alan nodded and smiled. The world is so big; it’s perfectly normal for two people to look alike.Juliet followed his lead and nodded. You’re right, Mr. Alan.Berg and Auretta, who were standing nearby, didn’t think much of it after hearing this.Berg introduced them to Alan,Master Alan, let me introduce you. This is Miss Juliet, the famous superstar from Neon City, and beside her is Miss Auretta, her agent.Alan nodded and said politely,Miss Juliet, Miss Aurett

After a short pause, Berg continued:But traditional Chinese medicine is not a chemical product. It is a combination of many different Chinese medicinal herbs, blended in fixed proportions to achieve therapeutic effects. Such formulas are extremely difficult to patent, and cannot be effectively protected by patent law — it is even hard to sue others for infringement.Take Banlangen Granules, for example. Everyone knows it. Its main ingredients are just Banlangen (Isatis Root) and sucrose. How can you patent a formula like that? If the recipe leaks, ordinary people can even make it at home. How could a pharmaceutical company sue all of them?Auretta said: Even if you can’t sue ordinary people, you can at least sue other pharmaceutical companies for infringement, right?Berg shook his head. Miss Auretta, you’re being too naive. First, substances that exist naturally in nature are almost impossible to patent. For instance, rice is a staple food across almost all of Asia. If one day resea

Alan waved his hand. Kara is not my disciple. She is my friend, or strictly speaking, the daughter of my friend. I’ve only been her temporary coach these past few days, giving her some guidance.Ito Keiko asked in surprise, Mr. Alan, you’re not a professional coach?Alan smiled. Of course not. I’m just an unemployed man with no occupation.Unemployed?Ito Keiko’s face was filled with shock and disbelief.Alan, whose power was beyond imagination, was actually an unemployed man with no job?Just as she was about to ask further questions, the referee stepped onto the ring and announced, Thirty seconds countdown for the second round!Alan said to Ito Keiko, Focus on your match. I’ll be leaving now.You’re leaving, Mr. Alan?A sudden sense of loss welled up in Ito Keiko’s heart.Alan added, Oh, by the way, the bet with Ichiki Yamamoto is over. Once he’s discharged from the hospital, he is free to leave Pless City.With that, Alan did not stay any longer and turned to leave without looking
