Taking Turns in Love Chapter 35
Corbyn had laughed and asked, "Do you really think that someone would scheme against me?""I don't know," Pearl had replied. "All I know is that 'if you fail to plan, then you plan to fail'."Despite her youthful appearance, she always spoke in a very mature manner, spouting proverbs all the time.And it would be proven that Pearl would be correct. Her prediction had come true.Corbyn and Pearl brought the drafted agreement to the Abraham Exam Board but were bluntly refused from entering at the door. Surprised, Corbyn tried to find out what was wrong, but the other party remained aloof and didn't answer.Pearl immediately gave Paxton a call. Paxton was a human resources expert, so he was very well-informed. However, due to the time difference, they had to wait for nearly half a day before Paxton found the root cause. "The Autumnverst Education Group told the Abraham Exam Board about the counterfeit textbooks incident. The Abraham Exam Board are very unhappy with us and said they

Amanda chuckled softly and said, "Sure. In that case, I'll have to make a trip to Merunica. Since you've been working so hard lately, you should get some rest for the time being and spend time with your boyfriend."When Corbyn heard that, he had a bad feeling. "It would be very troublesome for you to fly back and forth. Since I was the one who caused this trouble, I should put in the effort. Only when we're at our last resort should I make you come all the way here.""Alright, but there's no time to lose. I'll give you a week, and I hope to hear good news afterward," Amanda said.Pearl had listened to the entire call. After it ended, she couldn't stop herself from asking, "Why didn't you let Mandy come?""I suddenly felt like she'd agreed too readily, as if she'd been waiting for me to beg her." Corbyn pondered it. "She was the one who gave me this project, and I ran into an issue, having caused the problem in the first place. If I then asked her for help, and she immediately fle

Compared to Amanda, Corbyn was indeed considered a novice. He also didn't have much control over the company. However, he had his strengths too. Besides being Vlad's favorite grandchild, he had two other trump cards as well—the Bloomberg Group's young all-knowing genius, Paxton, as well as the Bloomberg Group's veteran all-knowing genius, Veronica. The two of them weren't particularly good at operational tasks, but they were social butterflies who could find out all sorts of information. What was even harder to come by was that even though they both loved to tell Corbyn off, they were also undeniably loyal to Corbyn.Corbyn asked the two of them to find out who Amanda was the closest to among the Abraham Exam Board.Right after he sent the question, Veronica replied nearly instantly, "You don't need to go and ask Paxton. I already found out for you this morning."Veronica was speaking nearly too calmly. A hypothesis formed in Corbyn's mind. "Don't tell me you already knew that

"You're so naive," Veronica said with a small laugh. "Once you've spent enough time in the business world, you'll learn that it's not a crime if you're not caught.""Fine, then just consider it my ambition!" Corbyn said with a smile. "What's the point of quietly bribing a mere Head of Office? If I really wanted to cough up a huge sum, I would only be satisfied if I'm bribing to the President of the Abraham Exam Board.""Hah, you're just talking big," Veronica said mockingly.Despite that, she didn't force her own thoughts on Corbyn. She seemed eager to see how Corbyn would try solving this matter without spending an exorbitant amount of money within a week.Corbyn spotted a familiar face on banking systems in a café.He should make it clear that when he went to Merunica to study, it hadn't just been because of Dean. He had also made quite a number of friends. Even though Kelvin had looked down on Corbyn's school, it was still a well-reputed school by universal standards and far

Corbyn averted his gaze so that he wouldn't get lost in Dean's eyes.Liesel noticed that small detail. Corbyn had come without telling Dean and couldn't seem to look him in the eye. It seemed like they were having problems.Corbyn had also noticed the interest in Liesel's gaze. Even if he really had problems with Dean, he wasn't willing to let an outsider make fun of him at his expense. Smiling, he brushed past Liesel and grabbed Dean's arm. "Are you surprised?"Dean was still dazed. "Yes."Even after being pushed to the side, Liesel still kept an awkward but polite smile on her face.Corbyn then introduced Dean. "This is my boyfriend, Dean. Dean, this is my former classmate, Xavier Poole."Dean also introduced Thomas and Liesel to him, and the few of them exchanged name cards.When Xavier received Dean's name card, he was astounded. "Y-You're a business partner at M-Global?""Yes." Dean nodded slightly. "You became a partner so young. That's amazing!" Xavier turned to Corbyn

Rebecca was also shocked to find Corbyn and Pearl standing outside her condo. "What are you doing here?" she said in a heavy New Jorkian accent.Pearl stepped forward and introduced herself in perfect Yinglish. However, this was pointless because Rebecca recognized them. She said with a disgusted look, "You thieves, don't show up on my doorstep. I'll call the police.""Thieves?" Corbyn arched an eyebrow unhappily. "What exactly did we steal?"Rebecca chuckled coldly. "Your company uses counterfeit teaching materials. Isn't that stealing? How despicable.""Do you have proof that we use counterfeit teaching materials?" Corbyn said. "This never happened. You may be throwing around groundless accusations based on fake news that you heard."In reality, they hadn't gotten caught for purchasing counterfeit teaching materials. Neither the Autumnverst Education Group nor the Abraham Exam Board had concrete evidence to prove it. However, Rebecca didn't need concrete evidence. She just nee

Corbyn laughed derisively. Considering Rebecca's character, he knew that she had done more immoral things besides those that he just said. However, he didn't have the luxury of time to investigate further. He could only focus on these two incidents and use the evidence to threaten Rebecca into complying. "This is the invoice for the janitorial work and a recorded testimony. On the other hand, this is the receipt for the furniture as well as an audio testimony from the furniture salesman. If necessary, they can also come here personally to provide their testimony. "Now that I have both witness statements and physical evidence, do you think I should report you directly to the police or just inform the Abraham Exam Board?"Although the 50 thousand dollar furniture and the part-time housekeeping didn't make up a huge sum, the Abraham Exam Board had a zero tolerance policy for this kind of behavior. If Corbyn really submitted the evidence he had at hand, Rebecca would definitely ge

Rebecca already promised to move forward with the contract tomorrow, so there was no point in spending any more time there.Both Pearl and Corbyn returned to the hotel. Of course, Pearl was going to get some rest, while Corbyn had to run to Dean's party.Coincidentally, the dinner party was being held at Corbyn's hotel.Corbyn always treated himself properly—he had booked himself a five-star hotel. This hotel usually hosted all sorts of high-end events, so it wasn't out of the ordinary for Dean's dinner party to be held here.To look good, Corbyn had even dolled himself up.He chose to wear a business casual suit. The exquisite light blue suit hugged his figure perfectly, highlighting his slim waist. There was an inconspicuous logo stitched into his sleeve, and he completed his outfit with a pair of classic Brogue shoes. In his smart get-up, his charming face added a hint of liveliness to offset the formalness.Seeing Corbyn show up looking like that, Liesel—who was wearing a d
