Chapter 332 Dylan's Plea
Still, Dylan didn't have the audacity to do as his heart told.
"What's your problem?"
Hearing Hanson's haughty question, Dylan decided to give his last-ditch effort. "Jones Enterprise was established by my family and is now suffering from a capital chain rupture. Because of that, we might need to close down the company. My father has fallen sick because of the tremendous pressure. So, I truly hope that President Luke will save our company."
Dylan's visage slumped in dejection as he couldn't bear to see the imminent demise of his business. How could he possibly survive once he lost everything he had?
Acting as if he finally understood the situation, Hanson merely threw an objective comment. "Your incompetence is to be blamed for the bad management."
Then, he held his cup while sniggering, "It is time for you to bid your business a sweet goodbye."
Dylan's neck turned crimson as rage was bubbling inside him. It was his first time being rubbed with insults to the face, and the opponent was none other than Hanson.
Just as Dylan, whose body was trembling in seething anger, parted his lips to rebut the statement, Hanson waved his hand to stop the conversation. He didn't want to waste his precious time on something so trivial. "Alright. It's time for me and my sweetheart to return home to rest now."
Obviously, the matter that had driven the nail into Dylan's coffin was insignificant to Hanson.
Sweetheart? Return home to rest? Are they living together?
Not only was Dylan ridiculed, but his dignity as a man was also disparaged. He had never held hands with Vania before, yet she was already living together with Hanson as they spoke!
Almost instantly, the displeasure in him morphed into jealousy and hatred. However, the couple ignored him as they left with Hanson's arm on Vania's shoulders. The affectionate sight inflamed the fire in Dylan. Even though Dylan didn't like Vania, he felt sour for being unable to obtain what others have.
Now that they were gone and he had lost his appetite for good, he strode toward his car with angry footsteps.
Before he could reach for the door, someone appeared next to the car out of the blue, scaring the daylights out of him. "Who are you?!"
When the figure approached him, he recognized the person right away. "Melanie? Why are you here?"
Five years ago, they had conspired against Vania to have her dismissed from the Greyson Family. So, the engagement had changed to his and Melanie's.
However, Melanie was coerced into marrying another person, so they eventually lost contact with each other.
After that, Dylan moved on with his life by putting her in the back of his mind, since he started the relationship at first to satisfy his sexual urges.
"Why can't I be here? Do you think that Vania will be here instead?" Melanie snorted coldly as she came up to him to whisper into his ear. "What's wrong? Have you fallen in love again after meeting for the first time?"
She scored a bullseye and successfully ticked him off. Furious, Dylan pointed at her. "Stop beating around the bush."
Giggling, she pushed his finger lightly and said coquettishly, "Don't be mad. It's just a joke. I'm here to help you, of course. Tsk tsk tsk... Look at your vile temper."
In fact, their separation was in Melanie's plan as well. There was no bad blood in between since it was a loveless relationship to begin with.
Looking at the baffled man, Melanie inquired, "I've heard what had happened to Jones Enterprise. And you were seeking help from Vania, weren't you?"
He spared a glance at her, confirming her guess without even uttering a word.
