Kapitel 22: Talk to You at Night
"You can do it."
Amelia looked at Ethan in curiosity. What made him talk big? He was only a clerk. His house and car were both given by his boss. Did that mean his boss worked for Grand Group, and the boss was the friend Ethan mentioned?
"Can you find me a job in Grand Group?"
"Yep."
"What can I do? Are you the employee of Grand Group?"
Amelia was curious about her white-collar husband. She only knew his house and car were borrowed, but she didn't expect Ethan could arrange her into the company.
Ethan nodded, "I'm a director of Grand Group. You can also be a project director."
"That's too easy, but I know nothing about that."
"Don't worry. They will teach you."
Hearing that, Amelia grabbed tightly the glass in her hand. It was a chance for her to know about Harper Group. She thought it over and nodded.
...
The Harper family, the Burke family and the Steele family were the three leading families in Keadow. Hearing that the Harper family reached cooperation with Grand Group, they were celebrating at Chinchol Manor.
"Congratulations, Charles. It's alarmingly good news that you cooperate with Grand Group."
"Thank you, Matthew. We three families are noble in this place. This time, we got the opportunity, and you'll make it someday."
The eldest son Matthew Burke from the Burke family smiled, "Thanks for your lucky words. It will be appreciated if you can recommend us to Grand Group."
Andrew Steele smiled scornfully, which drew the attention of others.
"Why do you laugh, Mr. Steele?" Matthew stood there with the glass in his hand.
"Nothing. I just feel like we won't get such an opportunity."
"Why do you say so?"
Charles thought his tone was weird, so he kept his voice low and looked at Andrew.
Andrew stood up and stared at Matthew, "You want an opportunity like they do, but do you have sisters to negotiate the contract?"
Then Andrew left as he laughed out.
At this moment, the air froze. Charles's face was full of embarrassment and fury.
Matthew mediated at once, "Charles, forget it. He is just jealous. Don't get mad at him."
Charles snorted. Seeing the empty seat of Andrew's, he gradually wore a fierce look.
Andrew came to the lobby of Chinchol Manor. He carefully selected among those famous liquors.
Amelia passed by at this moment. She didn't notice Andrew, so she bumped into him.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Amelia apologized immediately.
She looked up at the man, and it was Andrew.
Andrew looked at Amelia in a despised look,
"I didn't expect I would meet Ms. Amelia here. I've intended to congratulate you on getting the half share of Harper Group at your birthday party. However... Hahaha"
"Are you happy with that? What benefit can you get from that?"
Amelia retorted scornfully. Andrew's younger brother Michael was Amelia's ex-boyfriend. To her surprise, Michael betrayed her and helped Bella.
Andrew sneered, "Of course, it's beneficial to me. At least there is one less woman to play the badger game, and we can have a fair competition. The Steele family is inferior, and we don't deserve a woman from the Harper family."
Hearing that, Amelia gave Andrew a contemptuous look,
"The two sons of the Steele family are losers. One is conceited, the other is a fence-sitter. No wonder you fail all the time in businesses. I suggest you blow your own horn when you have business talks in the future. Ask your brother to applaud you. I bet you can make every negotiation possible."
"You... You are such a tough girl. I remember what you said today. Let's wait and see."
Seeing the arguing scene, Ethan sneered. Amelia was indeed tougher than before. Amelia had a fierce look on Andrew's back, and she walked back to Ethan.
"Why are you mad at him?"
Amelia wore a dark face and didn't say a word.
"Don't worry. His company will be in crisis in three days. "
The chilly light showed up in Ethan's eyes, but he still wore a light smile. All of a sudden, Amelia felt he was unfathomable.
...
The next day.
The sunlight shone on Amelia. She opened her eyes and found Ethan had gone.
"Did he get up to cook?"
After washing up, Amelia walked downstairs to help Ethan.
When she just walked to the study, she suddenly heard Ethan's voice. Seeing Amelia's figure, Ethan said, "I'll talk to you at night." Then he hung up the phone.
Amelia wondered whom Ethan was talking to. He hung up the phone as soon as he saw her, did Ethan cheat?
"Milk and pizza are done. Enjoy the breakfast."
"Don't you eat with me?"
"I'm in a hurry. I'm afraid I can't eat with you."
Amelia had breakfast alone. She had an unspeakable feeling in her heart. The scene Ethan hung up the phone kept swirling in her mind.
"It's just his private affair. We are a nominal couple. Why do I think so much?"
Amelia persuaded herself, but she still couldn't control the curiosity and worry.
...
"Dad, I heard Andrew..."
"Hum. He can only judge others. He failed many times, but he is so arrogant. Ignore him. I've told many of his clients. His business will be on the line in the following days."
"But Michael... Michael helped us to deal with the bitch. Is it too much to treat them like this..."
Bella thought of Michael. She found some photos of Amelia through Michael, and made them into evidence of Amelia's chaotic life. Bella always felt Michael had a thing for her, and she could take advantage of him.
"It doesn't matter. Although Michael doesn't have power and has always been suppressed by Andrew, ask him to join you, and he will definitely benefit us."
Those words made sense. A thief in the family was difficult to detect. Charles was scheming, and he wouldn't let go of any worthwhile resources. Seeing Charles's ferocious look, Bella was clear that Andrew would pay his price for the mockery yesterday.
Michael, the Steele family. Now Bella was one step closer to defeating Amelia.
