FULL NOVELXO Chapter 68
Chapter 68
Yvonne’s brother. Jeremiah Xanthos, led a group of people into the restaurant. Jeremiah was respectful. “Mr. Quain, this way, please!”
Caroline more or less knew the man Jeremiah was referring to as ‘Mr. Quain. He was Donald Quain, the head of the Quain family. The Quain family was one of the four new families that rose in Jipsdale. He was known to be a ruthless character in the business world.
Donald’s expression was cold. His suit was well–ironed, and he looked extraordinary. He walked without looking around. Jeremiah fawned like a lackey. “Mr. Quain, I must thank you for showing up tonight. We have to discuss this project properly later. I promise you that choosing Lewis Group is definitely your best choice!”
Caroline saw Jeremiah inviting Donald and a few others into a luxurious private room.
Now, she could guess that Jeremiah wanted to rope in the Quain Group. He hoped to facilitate the project cooperation. between the Quain Group and the Lewis Group.
Since Jeremiah wanted to show off in front of Harry, Caroline naturally had to help him.
When Vivian went to the washroom, Caroline called Yohan from outside. “Coleman, there’s something I need you to do now. Contact Mr. Quain of the Quain Group…”
After settling the matter, Vivian came out of the washroom and asked, “Caroline, are you not going to the washroom?”
“No, thanks.”
“Alright then, let’s go back to our room.”
Vivian held Caroline’s wrist, and the two walked back to the private room.
John was very efficient and had already ordered. When they returned, the waiter had already begun to serve the dishes.
Vivian looked at the sumptuous dinner and said awkwardly, “John, you don’t know me at all. You know I’m as fat as a ball, yet you still ordered my favorite dishes. Why are you so bad?”
John smiled and said, “They’re not for you! You can just look at them!”
“No way! There’s so much delicious food. They’re all for Carol?”
John smiled without saying anything. Vivian said to Caroline, “Carol, look at how well my brother treats you. Think about it and consider being my sister–in–law!”
It wasn’t like Vivian had not thought about that before. She wanted Caroline to be her sister–in–law. That thought had grown even more now. She felt it would be best if she could match the two of them together..
“I’m sorry, I’m afraid not.”
“Why? My brother is not bad–looking! He’s still single because…”
John interrupted in time. “Alright, stop nagging. Caroline and I are very good friends now. Besides, Caroline is already
married.”
“Huh?” Vivian widened her mouth in shock until it was as if her mouth could fit an egg-
When she came back to her senses, Vivian felt regretful, but she couldn’t help but ask, “Who is it? Who is the person that Carol married?”
“Quintin Ziegler of the Ziegler family.” John said.
“Quintin Ziegler? Is it the one who got into a car accident a while ago?”
Vivian had also heard about that while on the phone with her family. “Wait, that’s not right. Didn’t they say that he’s already turned into a vegetable? Did you marry him to flush out the bad luck in him? Doesn’t that mean you jumped into a fire pit?” Her heart ached at the thought that her best friend would be a widow in the future.
“No, Carol, you’re still young. Why did you marry Quintin Ziegler?
“I heard he’s dying. What kind of happiness can you have with him?”
John reminded her, “Vivian, don’t talk nonsense. Mr. Ziegler is awake now. He went to the hospital for a checkup today. I saw him. He’s recovering well.”
“You said, ‘He’s recovering well. That means that he hasn’t fully recovered either. If Carol follows him, she definitely won’t be happy!”
Vivian was worried as if she was Caroline’s mother. “Carol, don’t be silly. Can you divorce him as soon as possible? Give my brother a chance. Although we are not as rich as him, I’m sure he will be better to you than Quintin Ziegler!”
Chapter 68
Vivian was supportive of her brother. She was definitely the best sister in the country.
However, it was also because Caroline’s life was too tough. Vivian’s heart ached for her. Now that she saw how Caroline had married a bad man. she felt even worse.
Caroline knew that her good friend was being considerate of her. She smiled and said, “Alright, don’t worry about me. about yourself.”
Think
Vivian didn’t want to think about herself. She was urged to return to the country precisely because her family wanted to arrange a blind date for her.
She thought, “What blind date?
“Who would like someone like her?”
She didn’t want to embarrass herself.
At that moment, in another luxurious private room. Jeremiah was doing his best to get onto Donald’s good side.
To invite Donald to the banquet, Jeremiah had even gotten someone to open the 1982 Lafite.
Exquisite and sumptuous dishes were served, and expensive red wine was poured.
Jeremiah raised his glass and stood up to toast Donald. “Mr. Quain, let me toast you first! Thank you very much for your trust and support for our Lewis Group!
“Don’t worry. As long as we sign the contract. Lewis Group will be able to start production very soon. It will definitely bring you rich returns and we won’t let you down!”
Donald also raised his glass, and the two prepared to clink glasses.
However, at this moment, Donald’s assistant suddenly came in and whispered into his car.
Donald was shocked when he heard the news.
Seeing this, Jeremiah realized something was wrong and asked, “Mr. Quain? What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Donald stood up, put down his glass, and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Xanthos. I’m afraid I can’t sign the contract today!”
Upon hearing that, Jeremiah’s mind exploded.
“Why can’t you? Mr. Quain, what’s going on?”
He had spent a lot of time and effort on this project. Seeing how the fruit of his hard work was about to be ruined, he was
anxious.
He had to get to the bottom of this.
“We found a more suitable partner. It’s a pity!”
With that. Donald picked up his coat and was about to leave.
Jeremiah quickly stopped them. “Mr. Quain, please wait! Listen to me! We haven’t signed the contract yet. Everything can be discussed again. Please give me another chance, okay?
I’ve been waiting for a long time for this project. You can’t just say that you won’t sign it!”
Donald replied, “I’m sorry. Mr. Xanthos. I understand your feelings, but discussing projects is the same as buying groceries. We have to compare you with other options.
“What’s more, this is such a big project. We naturally have to choose a better company. I’m really sorry!”
It seemed that there was no room for negotiation, but Jeremiah still had to figure out what was going on.
“Mr. Quain, even if you can’t sign the contract with us today, I wish to know which company overpowered us Lewis Group?” No matter what, Jeremiah had to find out the reason. He had to know what kind of company would suddenly snatch their project.
Donald didn’t say anything. His assistant explained, “Mr. Xanthos, the person who just contacted Mr. Quain was the CEO of Lucent Venture Capital! They are the partners that the Quain Group truly wants to work with!”
After he finished speaking, they left the private room.
When Jeremiah heard that, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
He thought, “Lucent Venture Capital?
“Was it the venture capital company that Yvonne had visited last time?”
In the end, not only did Lucent Venture Capital not agree to collaborate with Lewis Group, but it also turned around and snatched the Quain Group’s project from Lewis Group.
Chapter 68
Jeremiah was tugging on his hair so much he was about to go bald. He couldn’t figure it out. It wasn’t easy for him to obtain a project, but Lucent Venture Capital cut him off.
He thought, “How could such a thing happen?
“What exactly is this Lucent Venture Capital?”
