I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 357
“You made me sit here for over half an hour, and I’m pregnant. Is this how you treat your friend?”“Alright, alright, I can’t argue with you. Cassia, I really do see you as a friend. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have continued my business with Yonder Trading. While we’ve worked together for years, your price isn’t exactly the lowest. Other companies have offered me lower prices recently. Why should I spend more money?”“Really? You’re in the import-export business, but you’re still trying to be cheap? Aren’t you worried that one of these new companies could mess up your goods? You won’t be able to recover them.” I took a bite of the steak. It was so tender and juicy.“That kind of thing happens once in a hundred years. I’m not that unlucky.”“You get what you pay for. Don’t you know that?”“Cassia, I’m telling you this because we’re friends. Zach doesn’t deserve you. We can’t stand seeing you running around helping him while being pregnant.”“We?” I paused and put down my fork. “Frankli

I had filled my glass to the top with deep red wine.I picked it up and slowly got to my feet. Franklin thought that I was going to toast him, so he adjusted his seat and sat up straight. “Whoa, whoa, whoa. You’re pregnant. Take it easy.”“I poured this wine for one reason.” I licked my lips and said with a grin, “To throw it at you.”Before he could react, I splashed it all over him. Seven grand a bottle, and I dumped it right on his head.He just sat there in stunned silence.Some wine splashed onto my clothes, so I turned to the shocked waiter and said, “Please bring me a towel.”Then, I grabbed Franklin’s phone and snapped a picture of him dripping in wine. I sent it to the group chat and tossed the phone back. “Maybe this photo will help them feel sorry for you and give you more money, bookie.”The waiter soon handed me a towel. I wiped my hands and clothes before I walked toward the door with my bag.Just as I reached it, Franklin finally exploded. “Cassia! Do you realize

I heard that Fame had been treating Cecilia well lately. He gave Wilson Corporation a lot of deals.However, they were just small deals. They might keep Wilson Corporation going for a little while, but they would not fix the company’s problems.Why was Cecilia so proud? Fame was only keeping them afloat and not really helping. Yet, she thought that she was set for life?I looked at her blue fox fur coat. “Do you know how they make these fur coats? They rip the skin off a live fox. Cecilia, don’t you feel like those foxes with no fur are crying at the foot of your bed when you sleep at night?”“Stop lecturing me about morality, Cassia,” Cecilia said. “No one else but you would dig through trash. If you want to play saint and save Zach, go ahead. But don’t forget that no matter what you do for him, he’ll never love you.”“So, you think he loves you, even though you cheated on him?”The hotel lights flickered across Cecilia’s face, and she looked embarrassed. “Cassia, even if you gi

The woman in the photo looked almost forty. She had blonde hair and deep wrinkles around her eyes.“How old is she?”“She’s 37.”“Fame got married so young. He’s only 26.”“His dad lost a lot of money in Australia, and he met his wife there. She’s rich, and she owns a huge farm. But she refused to help him for free, so Fame married her.”Fame’s wife was abroad, so he lived off her money and pursued a wild lifestyle here.He probably thought that he could get away with it since his wife was far away and oblivious.“Anything else about Fame?”“Honestly, it’s crazy.” Sophie kept scrolling through the photos. “This one’s Zoey. Fame met her in a nightclub. She’s pretty well-known there. She’s gorgeous, and she has a great figure. She got together with Fame even before Cecilia, and Fame really likes her. My company signed this one as a model before. After her contract ended, she switched over to Fame’s company. That’s when he got involved with her. Then, there’s this one, and this on

Sophie was sitting by the window and staring outside.“What are you looking at?” I asked.“The stars.”“Are you okay?” I looked outside. “It’s going to rain tomorrow. There aren’t any stars tonight.”“If there are stars in your heart, you’ll see them.”I patted Sophie on the head, but she pushed my hand away. “Go to sleep, pregnant lady.”“What’s wrong with being pregnant? Don’t make fun of pregnant women.” She could keep looking if she wanted. I lay down to sleep.Just as I was about to get comfortable, her phone rang.She checked it and declined the call. “Was that Lance again?” I asked.“Yeah.”“Did you tell him?”“I did. I told him that I don’t like being with a player.”“What did he say?”“He said, ‘you have to try everything life offers.’”“And how did you respond?”“I told him he’s never tried dying, so why not try that?”Sophie and I were skilled at arguing. No one could match us, but what did it matter? Life was not a debate where the winner got everything.

Freeman Corporation was a family business. So, anyone with the last name, “Freeman,” had shares in the company.My dad and uncle each owned 30%. The other 40% was split between Sophie, Bryce, Oliver, and me, with each of us having 10%.Since Bryce passed away without children, my uncle decided to give his 10% to Sophie. However, she did not want it, so that 10% was still sitting there.The executives were all eyeing it. The company had a rule that executives who had worked there for 20 years or more could receive shares as bonuses. My dad and uncle had planned to give 5% each as bonuses, but they did not need to anymore.That 10% share was a prize that everyone wanted.These bonuses were useful. It helped keep people loyal to the company. Big companies were worried that experienced employees who knew the company well might leave. This would result in a big loss.It also helped to keep the shareholders in check.However, Oscar was not friendly with me. He was probably worried tha

According to my knowledge, Freeman Corporation had taken over Cameron Hill, but I was not sure about the details.One of our branches handled land development, so I called Sophie. She had just arrived at the office and had not even taken a sip of water.“What’s up, Ms. Chairman?”“Check the details on Cameron Hill.”“Okay, hang on.”A while later, Sophie called me back. “Cameron Hill is government-allocated land. Zach didn’t pay the full amount previously. The contract says that if construction doesn’t start within six months, the government can reclaim the land, keep the money, and re-auction it to other companies.”“Zach agreed to that? He must’ve been really confident about the project back then,” I said.“Everything was fine until Cecilia screwed it up.”“Got it.”“Why are you so interested in Cameron Hill?”“It’s one of your branch’s key projects for the second half of the year.”“What? I haven’t even looked at the plans for the second half yet!”“There’s no rush. Just

“Yonder Trading won’t just last five months. It’ll last five years or more. As long as I’m alive, Yonder Trading will survive,” Zach said while he looked at me. It was as if he was making a promise.This was an office, not a wedding. I did not need such dramatic declarations.I smiled and took a sip of water. “Talk is cheap, Zach. You’ve been in business long enough to know that words don’t prove anything. But I’ll keep the contract. Once I’ve decided, I’ll let you know.”“Alright.” He placed his hands on the table but did not get up. Instead, he asked, “Want to have lunch together?”“I’m eating in the company cafeteria. If you don’t mind that, you can join me.”Most of the executives ate in the cafeteria unless they had appointments. I needed to get to know everyone better for them to accept me.“Sure,” Zach said without hesitation.When we entered the cafeteria at lunch hour, everyone stared at us.The cafeteria had two sections: one for regular employees and one for executiv

With that, I called Mr. Pepper. I felt bad for waking him up in the middle of the night, but thankfully, he lived in our house.He was still groggy, but he helped me downstairs after he washed his face with cold water.My legs felt weak, and Mr. Pepper tried to comfort me. “Don’t worry too much, Ms. Freeman. Mr. Jenkins is young. He should be fine.”However, his reasoning was not sound. Death did not care how old you were. It would just take you when it was your time.When I arrived at the hospital, Zach was waiting for me at the entrance.He held my arm and probably noticed that I was shaking, so he reassured me, “He’s in the ER. The doctor said he passed out not long ago. He took some medicine when he first felt ill, so it should be okay.”I looked up at Zach under the bright hospital lights. He took off his coat and wrapped it around me.I had left in such a hurry that I ended up wearing one yellow shoe and one white one.Soon, Austin was brought out of the ER and into a reg

“You can eat them if you want. Otherwise, I’ll just throw them away.” “Don’t waste food.” She picked up an escargot with two fingers and sucked on it, like she was eating a field snail. I sat across from her and watched her eat.“Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I’m cute?” “Yeah,” I said. “You look like a cute little pig when you eat.”“Why are you being so mean? Are you upset because of Cecilia? Are you worried that Zach might go back to her?” I got up from the couch. I was not going to waste my time worrying about Cecilia.I was actually thinking about Austin’s pale face.“Take your time eating. I’m going upstairs to hang out with Rachel.” I nodded at Kingston.Soon after, Cameron called. He was going to Switzerland for business, and he would drop by West City once he was done.Rachel quickly said, “Dad, don’t pick me up yet. Cassia’s taking good care of me. Don’t worry.”Cameron sighed on the phone and laughed a little. “Cassia, I don’t know if I should

I switched seats in the hall three times, but Cecilia stuck to me like glue. I could not get rid of her.By the time Zach finished his interview and came over, she was still challenging me. “Cassia, it doesn’t matter how much you do for Zach. Even if you give him everything, including your heart, he’ll come back to me as soon as I smile at him,” she said.Just then, Zach appeared next to our table. Cecilia kept going, as she was completely caught up in her own delusions.I looked up at Zach and said with a smile, “When did you become a butcher who took hearts?”Since he showed up, I took the chance to escape. I stood up and said, “Well, Zach’s here. Cecilia, why don’t you charm him and give him that smile you were talking about?”Then, I quickly slipped away. All evening, she had been annoying me like a fly. It totally ruined my appetite.I found a quiet spot and placed my food on the table. As soon as I sat down, Zach came over and sat across from me. I looked behind him and

When Zach saw Wilson Corporation’s bid, he tossed it aside. This meant that it had been eliminated.Wilson Corporation did not have enough funding, so they would not make it to the next round. If they could not keep up in terms of cash flow, it would delay the whole project.However, it would not be fun to eliminate them in the first round.I picked up Wilson Corporation’s bid again. Austin looked at me and asked, “What are you doing?”“Just having some fun.”Wilson Corporation would not make it to the final round anyway. At least, they could enjoy making it to the next round.When the names of the qualified companies were announced, Cecilia’s expression was strange. She looked both nervous and confident at the same time. It was like she had a split personality.The moment Zach read Wilson Corporation’s name, Cecilia quickly stood up and turned to me.I saw pride, satisfaction, and joy in her gaze.She raised her chin as she walked up to receive the bid from Zach. She was acti

There was nonstop clicking from the cameras, and their flashes were so bright that they almost made my eyes water.Just then, Zach handed me a pair of glasses. I put it on, and another reporter asked, “There’s a rumor that Zach was recently fired from Gordon Corporation’s board? Is it true?”Tyler laughed. He looked at Zach and then at me before he said, “You just said that it was a rumor, right?”I scanned the crowd and quickly spotted Cecilia. Her face was pale, and it looked like she was about to cry.At this point, she should realize that Zach had not been fired. He was not the nobody she thought he was.He was still the same Zach. In fact, he was even better. While he was away from the spotlight, Zach set Yonder Trading up for the next five years. Even without Gordon Corporation, he could still succeed in the business world with Yonder Trading.Cecilia was dumbfounded, but it did not seem like she could cry. It was almost funny.Her attitude had been completely different

Cecilia walked toward me in her high heels. “Cassia, you’re acting like a saint again. When Zach’s career fell apart four years ago, you stayed with him for three years. Now, you’re getting back with him again? You love him that much, huh? I’m telling you that Zach is a lost cause. No matter what you do, he’s not going to make a comeback unless you hand over Freeman Corporation to him. Other people date for fun, but you? You’re ready to risk everything for him.”“Cecilia.” I looked her straight in the eye. “That’s enough. No matter what, Zach used to be completely devoted to you. Not only have you dumped him, but you’re trash-talking him behind his back.”“Behind his back? I’d say the same thing to his face.” Cecilia raised her chin. “Sure, Zach loved me, but I don’t want some lovesick fool. It doesn’t matter that he turned against the Gordon family for me. Did I ask him to? If his life is a mess now, it’s his own fault.”“His fault is falling in love with you.”Cecilia smiled smug

The past few days had been particularly hectic. The signing of the Cameron Hill project was around the corner, and we were going to open for tender on the signing day. Once the project began, we would subcontract to many construction companies. We had a few construction companies under Freeman Corporation. However, it was going to be hard for us to tackle such a big project on our own. Hence, we needed to look for subcontractors. Doing both the signing and the tendering on the same day was a first in the industry. Actually, I did not want to rush things like that, but Austin wanted to be quick. He was afraid that his body would give up on him. Meanwhile, I was afraid that I would accidentally tell Sophie the truth one day. Sophie could not make it to the signing. She could not walk well, and she was basically resting. We had released the news about the tender a few days ago, and I had received tenders from many companies. Wilson Corporation was one of them. I glanced at the

While I was staring at Lucy’s photo, my father called me. He and my mother had been away for a really long trip. They left when it was winter, and it was already spring, but they were still not back. My father said, “The proposal that you sent me regarding Cameron Hill is very detailed. I think it’s a good project. You can sign on my behalf.” “Dad, are you guys not coming back yet?”“You’re good at your job. I feel at ease when you’re in charge.” “Dad, don’t forget that my baby’s due in two months.” “Well, aren’t there two months left, then?” I was speechless. My father was trying to make use of me until the day I gave birth. He seemed to be in a good mood. Yesterday, my mother called and told me that Aunt Lauren and her husband were feeling much better than before. It was especially so after they learned that Sophie had gotten into a relationship. Before I ended the call, my father gave me some encouraging words, “Oscar called me yesterday and praised you for being a

Rachel really liked the pastries that Kingston had bought. “I’ve never had such good food before,” she said.She was always surprised by our food, as she grew up overseas with a different type of cuisine. Zach had promised to finish building the castle with Rachel, so I sent her to Yonder Trading in the morning. I held her hand as we walked into his office. He had just finished laying the game mat on the floor. Rachel ran over to him happily. “Zach!” Zach immediately carried her and lifted her over his head. Rachel giggled. She was usually quite lonely, so she loved to spend time with us adults. After I dropped her off, Zach passed me a folder. “It’s about Lucy.” He was extremely quick in his investigation. I took the folder and only found a few pages inside.Lucy was not originally from West City. Instead, she came from East City. It turned out that she had taken her mother’s last name.Her mother was a lounge singer, and there were a few old photos of her in the
