I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 372
We headed to the parking lot, where Mr. Pepper was waiting for us in the car.As we drove past the restaurant, Cecilia suddenly threw herself in front of the car, with her arms stretched out.It had only been a few days, but she was acting like a maniac. Thankfully, Mr. Pepper was not driving fast, or else, he would have hit her.“Oh, my God!” Mr. Pepper slammed on the brakes. Luckily, we all had our seatbelts on. “What’s going on? She scared me half to death.”Cecilia stormed over and banged on the window. “Cassia!”I rolled it down, and her furious face was right in front of me. “Cassia, is this your doing?”“What does it have to do with me?” I laughed. “Are you crazy, Cecilia?”“It has to be you! Why else would Julian lose his mind and buy that dumb restaurant?”“Go ask your brother.”“Cassia, you’re ruthless! How could someone as vicious as you be a mother?” Cecilia screamed and tried to grab me through the window.Oliver immediately pulled me behind and pushed her away.

Oliver calmly listened to her. After he asked for the address, he hung up and called the police.I think he handled it well. If I had not suddenly felt sorry for Mabel and decided to take her with us in the afternoon, that would not have happened to her.It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future.The next morning, I checked the system before going to the office. My project application was still untouched. No one had reviewed it.My dad called me last night to ask if everything was going well, and I told him that it was fine.I did not tell him the truth. My dad’s influence might have helped me once, but I could not rely on him all the time. I needed to prove myself to those people.Otherwise, the old geezers would say that I could only run crying to my dad for help. They might even say it to my face instead of behind my back.I ran into Zach in the parking lot. Freeman Corporation shared the same lot with the building across the street, so it was not surprising to

Benjamin’s phone rang again, and he said, “Sorry, Ms. Freeman.”“It’s fine. Go ahead.”He left to take the call, and I sipped my tea.Soon after, my phone buzzed as well. It was a message from Zach. [The florist delivered hydrangeas today. Do you like them?]I instinctively turned around and picked up the binoculars on my desk. I saw a red hydrangea bouquet on Zach’s desk. They were in a white vase.I smiled, but I did not reply.He did not think that I still liked him, did he?He was probably just used to me having a crush on him.When Benjamin returned, his hair was a mess. He even made a few mistakes in his report.I marked the errors in red and showed them to him. “Is something wrong at home?”He scratched his head, which made his hair even messier. “Sorry, Ms. Freeman. I shouldn’t be handling personal stuff at work.”“We work for a better life.” I smiled. “Is it about your son’s kindergarten registration?”“Um.” He looked down. “Registration starts today. I thought tha

I smiled and gave him a piece of curried fish. “Mr. Hanson has all the resources but doesn’t know how to use them. If he did, he would’ve started his own business by now.”Benjamin looked up at me. “That’s true.”“Mr. Harrison handles HR and finance?”“Yes. Mr. Harrison and Mr. Hanson control the most important parts of the company. They’re powerful when they stick together.”No wonder they looked down on us heirs. To them, we were just lucky, while they were the ones who built the company.“And Mr. Lewis—”“Let’s take it slow. You’re telling me too much at once, and I can’t keep up.” After I was done eating, I put away my utensils and said, “Take your time eating.”I dropped off my tray and ran into Mr. Hanson as I walked out. He was with some other executives. He walked ahead with his hands behind his back, like the boss.When he saw me, he ignored me. I did the same and walked past him.“She’s got some nerve. She didn’t even say hi to Mr. Hanson,” one of his people said in

“Ms. Freeman, Cecilia is something else. She came crying to Mr. Gordon. When I went in with tea, I noticed that she had a bruise on her face.”Fame had probably hit her. Julian spent twenty million last night, so Fame took out his anger on Cecilia.It was sad when you thought about it. This top socialite had become some rich guy’s mistress and a victim of abuse.She ruined the Cameron Hill project, but Zach did not punish her, even though he lost a fortune.Cecilia seemed to have Zach in the palm of her hand. She cheated on him, yet she still went running to him for help when she was in trouble.“What did she want from Zach?” I asked.“To complain about her problems. She was crying a lot.”“What did Zach do?”“Mr. Gordon just sat at his desk in silence. After a while, Cecilia left.”Hearing about Cecilia’s drama made one question everything.“Alright, Cecilia—” As I started to speak, Benjamin knocked and entered. “Ms. Freeman, Ms. Wilson is here to see you.”Could it be Ceci

“Yeah, I’m busy making a sign that says, ‘No entry for Austin, Cecilia, and mad dogs.’”“If mad dogs could read, they wouldn’t be biting everyone.” He actually cracked a joke, which was rare.I glared at him. “What do you want?”“I mentioned it on the phone yesterday. It’s about the Cameron Hill project.”“Don’t talk to me about anything above a hundred bucks.”He crossed his arms and stared at me gloomily.“Stop giving me that cold stare.” I felt like throwing the crystal display on the desk at him.“Your position has changed. Everything you do now has to benefit Freeman Corporation,” he lectured me. “I’ve looked into the Cameron Hill project thoroughly. If it didn’t benefit Freeman Corporation, I wouldn’t bring it to you.”“Cut the act. You want me to help you take the project from Gordon Corporation, don’t you?” I knew what he was up to. All businesspeople played games, but I used to think that Austin was different.“It’s a win-win situation, right? Besides, Gordon Corporat

After Austin left, I sent Sophie a message. [Austin just came to discuss the Cameron Hill project.]Sophie replied, [Hasn’t he been trying to get that for a while?]Benjamin booked a seafood bistro opposite Freeman Corporation for me. I sent the location to Tyler’s driver and went there early to wait.I ordered the food based on Tyler’s preference. While I was going over the menu with the manager, Tyler arrived.He walked in confidently and reminded me of a middle-aged Zach for a moment. Out of all his sons, Zach looked and acted the most like him.Although Tyler did not show it much, I knew that he cared about Zach the most.I was about to stand up, but he motioned for me to remain seated.“Tyler,” I greeted him.He smiled and nodded. “Traffic was a little bad. Have you been waiting long?”“I just finished ordering. Let me know if everything’s okay.”“You always make good picks.” He handed his coat to the waiter and sat across from me.Tyler was a serious man, but he woul

“Yeah?” I mumbled while I chewed on my pie. “Go ahead, Tyler.”“The guy from Jenkins Corporation...”As soon as Tyler spoke, I knew that he was talking about Austin. He must have learned that Austin wanted the Cameron Hill project.“Austin,” I said.“Yeah, Austin. He has good judgment, and Cameron Hill’s a solid project. If it works out, it’s a guaranteed win. He came to see you today, didn’t he?”“Yes, he came to discuss a partnership.”“What did you say?” Tyler looked at me.“I was about to reach out to you, but you came to me first.”Tyler smiled and said, “So, you’re thinking about having our three companies work together?”“We can split the profits and share the risks. There won’t be added pressure on our own companies, and we all benefit.”Tyler looked at me for a while, and I just focused on eating my dessert. Honestly, I liked the pie crust more than the filling.Then, Tyler said, “You can finish the crust. Don’t worry about the filling.”“Is that okay?”“Why not?

Suddenly, I felt as if I did not know Austin anymore.The Austin I knew was cold, both inside and outside.Sophie once told me that he was like a thermos. He was cold no matter what.Perhaps that was true for others, but he had the warmest, most loving heart for Sophie.I did not know what to do with his request. Austin’s fingers felt so cold in my hand, like they would never warm up.I did not even remember how I left the hospital. As Zach drove, I curled up in the passenger seat and pressed my face against the window.He glanced at me and nudged my head away. “Isn’t your face cold?”My heart felt even worse.Why was life full of sickness and sadness?Love seemed like a joke. When two healthy people met, their feelings were not mutual. But once they finally loved each other, there was cancer, car accidents, or other heartbreaks.Was this a TV drama or some kind of soap opera?By the time I got home, it was 7 a.m. The weather was beautiful, with the sun shining brightly.Th

“There’s still another round of bidding for the project. You should stay in the hospital and leave it to your team.”“Cassia, you’re so bossy. You can control Zach, but don’t try to control me.” Even though he was weak, I still felt like hitting him every time he spoke.“Austin, when someone dies, they lose everything. If you don’t take care of yourself, who will?”“My body never listens to me,” he said softly. “If I can’t find a donor, should I just kill someone for their heart?”“Just stay in the hospital and wait for a donor. You’ll get one within three months.”“Even with a transplant, there’s only a 30% chance of success. That’s how bad my condition is.” He closed his eyes and looked tired.“At least there’s a 30% chance.”He remained silent, and I was having a headache from lack of sleep.I heard that Zach had arranged for a nurse to stay with him 24/7. I needed to go home and rest.Before I left, I told Austin, “If you try to leave the hospital, I’ll tell Sophie.”He i

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
