Jojo gritted her teeth as she recalled when she got slapped at the Hart Manor.She had to put a lot of foundation on her face to cover the marks.Earlier on, Jojo heard from Matilda that Chad was out to deceive the Hawthornes after returning from the Hart family.Jojo could not wait to expose Chad, so she approached him."Chad Jennings. Never thought I'd see you walk out of the Hart Manor alive. I thought they'd beat you to death."Chad glared at Jojo, then turned to Matilda who stood nearby. He said calmly, "I cured their father of his sickness. Why would they do that to me? To thank me, Mr. Hart even offered me ten percent of Supreme Financial Group's shares. But I turned it down!""Hahaha!"Jojo burst into laughter."Chad, are you crazy? You should know your limits even if you're making up these stories! Do you know how much ten percent of Supreme Financial Group's shares are worth?""About 13 billion dollars. That's about the amount written on the contract."Chad said c
Hahaha. I've been watching all of you the entire time. I'm so amused!"A hearty laugh broke out and a handsome man in short hair walked out.He was Martin Conrad from Summer. He walked up to Matilda. "Ms. Sachs, it's been a while!"Matilda shook his hand with a grin. "Mr. Conrad, it's been ages. I'm glad you came."The Summer Investment Bank run by the Conrad family engaged with Bellenuite Group two years ago, though eventually, it did not fall through.After having small talks with Matilda, Martin turned to Ivy.He teasingly said to the Hawthorne siblings, "Ivy, Bill, it's been too long. I never knew Ivy was already engaged. Looks like I've missed my chance."Jojo chuckled and came forward."Mr. Conrad, don't mind them. How could Ms. Hawthorne get engaged with someone like him?"You may not have heard. This is Chad Jennings, Ms. Sachs' ex-husband. A useless thing."He just got divorced by Ms. Sachs yesterday. Perhaps he didn't take it too well, he's gone crazy!"Ivy glanced
Janette Lawson saw the signs and asked, "What's wrong? Is there someone you know over there?""It's my ex-husband Chad Jennings, but it doesn't matter anymore."However, Janette Lawson asked, "Is it the guy who is smoking?""Yes!" Matilda Sachs did not wish to talk further about Chad Jennings, she changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about him. Welcome, President Janette!"However, Matilda Sachs did not notice an intriguing smile flash across the corner of Janette Lawson's lips."Brad Young, from the Young family in Sunset. It's my pleasure to meet President Matilda.""I'm Audrina Young. Hello, sister Matilda Sachs."Ivy Hawthorne became energetic immediately when she heard the voice. She trotted up to Audrina Young, and said excitedly, "Audrina, why didn't you tell me you are here in Bloomington?""I pestered my brother for a long time before he agreed to bring me here. Why are you here in Bloomington too?"Audrina Young had very big eyes, she looked nice when she sm
Brad Young nodded solemnly and whispered to stop Martin Conrad."Mr. Martian, please don't talk nonsense about Mystic Pavilion."Martin Conrad wiped the cold sweat from his head as he spoke with lingering fear."Yes! I didn't expect that the Hawthorn family's history is so complicated."Brad Young nodded in agreement and said, "So, I'd better call home and check about it. After all, I came here to discuss the Bellenuite Group as a favor, seeing that Matilda Sachs's husband is Chad Jennings."Martin Conrad nodded and said, "I shall make a call to check."After they spoke, the two of them found a quiet place separately and called home."Dad, let me ask you something!"Brad Young contacted his father and told him about Matilda Sachs's divorce.After Brad Young finished speaking, there was silence on the other side of the phone for a long time.Just when Brad Young was getting impatient, a voice came from the phone."Brad, come back. We will not be participating in Bellenuite Gr
"You didn't even inform me about your divorce. Are you not planning to tell me if I am not here in Bloomington?"Janette Lawson said as she sat down next to Chad Jennings. She looked as if she was very close to Chad Jennings.Chad Jennings smiled with embarrassment like a young boy, "I am wrong. I shall accept my punishment."Janette Lawson hugged Chad Jennings's shoulders like a close buddy as she joked, "Alright then. I shall punish you to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with me tomorrow for marriage registration."Chad Jennings was speechless for a while. He looked at Janette Lawson with extreme confusion.Janette Lawson's family were old residents of Templer Road. Ten years ago, Janette Lawson's father's business improved. Her family then moved away from Templer Road.Nine years ago, Fred Lawson died in a car accident. Janette Lawson was forced to take over the Lawson Group.From that onwards, Janette Lawson changed Fred Lawson's conservative style and began to invest extensi
"Don't worry! You will find her sooner or later."However, Chad Jennings clenched his fists. He blamed himself extensively in his heart.To break the silence, Martin Conrad bit the bullet bowed his hands, and said respectfully, "Master Jennings, on behalf of Summer Investment Bank, I would like to inform you that we have withdrawn from the financing initiative.""Master Jennings, me too. Sunset Investment Bank has also withdrawn from the financing initiative."Chad Jennings was really upset. He frowned slightly when he heard that, and said casually, "This is all matters of your investment banks. It is not necessary to inform me."The both of them finally sighed in relief when they heard his reply."Mr. Young and Mr. Conrad, please leave if there is nothing else, this is a private party."Janette Lawson's words were clear that she meant to chase them away. However, Martin Conrad and Brad Young were surprised.They just noticed that Janette Lawson had her arms around Chad Jenni
Chad Jennings always thought that he was responsible for his sister's being lost.Janette Lawson's words at that time made him realize that someone kidnapped his sister.Janette Lawson glanced at Chad Jennings, patted Chad Jennings's back gently, and continued, "And, the last phone call my dad made before his car accident was to."She took a deep breath at that juncture before continuing, "It was a call to your father. However, the call was not connected before the car accident happened. As such, that was not an accident, but a planned murder instead. I also investigated the person who called my father. He died in a car accident too, just like my father. Both accidents occurred just two hours apart."Janette Lawson wiped her tears gently after she spoke. The private room was in complete silence.After a long time, Chad Jennings asked coldly, "Why didn't you tell me back then?""How can I tell you that my father was killed because he found out some leads about Snow Jennings?""S
When Matilda saw how Janette was acting, she hurriedly greeted, "Ms. Lawson, you're being too kind. This time, Bellenuite is offering some very good conditions. Allow me to explain.""There's no need!" Yet, Janette immediately stopped her, "The Lawson Group will be investing 140 million dollars into Bellenuite!""What?"Matilda was completely stunned, but Janette walked onto the stage and grabbed the microphone before looking at Matilda and saying, "I said that Lawson Group will be investing 140 million dollars into you. Of course, there are some conditions attached! Ms. Sachs, if you're interested, then we can talk about it in private!"Those words caused a gasp of surprise across the venue. That was because an investment of that level was no different from just buying Bellenuite over.Matilda did not dare to agree on the spot and fell into silent thought instead.In her eyes, that investment was not going to come easy.However, Jojo reacted very quickly, immediately approachin
