Chapter 1226

Penulis: Love Berries
Tessa’s fists tightened.

She was Walton’s eldest heiress, yet here she was, forced to lower herself like this.

And all of it was Aurora’s fault.

If Aurora had properly wrapped up the handover, she wouldn’t have to swallow her pride and haggle with this lecher now.

“Mr. Lewis, here is the contract proposal I drafted for you.” Tessa handed him the folder.

“There’s no need for me to look at that right now.”

Daniel raised a hand, uninterested in even glancing at the papers.

Tessa frowned. “But if you don’t review the contract, how will you know Walton Corporation’s sincerity?”

“Previously, Aurora was the one negotiating with me. I assume the terms are more or less the same, so whether I read it or not makes no difference.”

He clearly didn’t care—after all, he had no genuine intention of partnering with Walton Corporation anymore.

With Aurora gone, there wasn’t much point.

For him, this meeting with Tessa was little more than a way to pass the time.

He wanted to see if the company still had

    “For the project, I already have an answer.”Hearing Daniel’s voice, Tessa felt a rush of excitement.“So, Mr. Lewis, you’ve decided to work with Walton Corporation?”Her tone carried an obvious note of joy.But Daniel’s next words poured cold water over her.“Of course not. After considering everything, I’ve decided your company doesn’t align with my vision for cooperation.”He added with a smile, “My suggestion is that you look for a project that suits you better. On my end, it’s really not a fit.”“Why?” Tessa clenched her fists, unable to believe it. “Mr. Lewis, are you dissatisfied with the terms I offered? If you’re not happy, we can renegotiate. As long as we can work together, everything can be discussed.”Her demands weren’t high. What she needed most was to prove herself in front of her mother and the board.Beyond that, she didn’t care about the profit.Securing this project would show she was no less capable than Aurora.So why was Daniel refusing to work with her?She had

  • Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO   Chapter 1233

    The difference in strength between men and women was obvious, and with Joseph’s tall frame towering over her, the secretary felt an overwhelming pressure.She thought for a moment that he had forgiven her and was about to thank him.But the next second, his hands clamped around her throat.Her head jerked up, meeting Joseph’s dark, icy eyes. His lips curved into a chilling smile. “So, you’re defying me while pretending obedience, is that it?“Every word I say, you argue back. If you’re that good with words, why didn’t you join a comedy troupe instead of applying here as a mere secretary? Seems like quite a waste of your talent.”“No… I didn’t…”She struggled desperately, her eyes wide, her breathing ragged.It was the first time she had seen the general manager lose his temper like this.In the past, he might smash a few things, but his anger would quickly cool.Now, though, he had turned violent, and terror seized her.“Let me go,” she gasped, clawing at his hands, slapping at his wr

    Wouldn’t saying something like that out loud just make him a laughingstock?Joseph was about to correct himself, to admit he’d misspoken, when Daniel’s voice came through.“As long as you understand it, that’s enough.”Joseph’s mind went blank.So, the one pulling the strings behind Daniel really was Lucas?What kind of power did he have, to make Daniel obey so willingly, even gladly?Joseph tried to press further, but Daniel cut him off. “My advice is not to pry. I’ve told you all I can. Stay away from Lucas or you’ll regret it.”And with that, Daniel hung up, not giving him a chance to respond.Exhaling, Daniel felt a weight lift.He was sure he’d made the right choice. Since he’d decided to follow Lucas, there could be no wavering.He couldn’t afford to do anything Lucas disapproved of. The first step was clear: cut ties with Joseph completely.As a man, one could sacrifice many things but never the path to profit.Joseph stared at the dead line, still unable to process it.He tried

    How had he never noticed before that Daniel was such a two-faced man?Joseph snapped back quickly, “I already said I’m willing to let the past go. But if you want me to truly drop my anger, you’ll have to give me twenty percent of the profits.”“Mr. Hunt, twenty percent is out of the question,” Daniel replied, deliberately toying with him.“Then how much are you willing to give?” Joseph frowned, irritation rising.This time, Daniel had been the one to reach out to him.So, what if he set a few conditions? Wasn’t that only fair?But Daniel’s tone stayed leisurely. “Not only will there be no profit concessions, but I won’t be giving you the project at all.”Joseph’s brows furrowed, but Daniel’s answer came firm and unyielding. “Because I never intended to work with you on this project in the first place.”Anger edged into Joseph’s voice. “Daniel, what exactly do you mean by that?”He didn’t even bother with the formal Mr. Lewis anymore.The patience he’d been feigning collapsed in an in

    But he never spelled it out directly.Some things had to be figured out slowly by others.Otherwise, if the wrong path was taken, they’d only turn around and blame him.After hanging up, Daniel fully understood the meaning behind Desmond’s words.He was no fool.He knew well enough what would benefit him and what would harm him.And besides, Lucas’ standing in the business world was unshakable.Only someone with a death wish would try to go head-to-head with him.Now that he understood Lucas’ stance, Daniel felt it was time to give Joseph his answer.Better to settle it quickly than let it drag on and risk second thoughts.The longer things stalled, the messier they would get.With that in mind, Daniel dialed Joseph without hesitation.The call rang for a while before it was finally picked up.Joseph did it deliberately, making Daniel wait.He knew perfectly well—if Daniel was calling, it meant he was ready to hand the project over.Now the roles were reversed. Daniel needed him, so wh

    “Mr. Carter, what should we do now?”Lucas glanced at the message, his expression calm.“This doesn’t require my opinion. Ask Daniel—whoever he thinks is suitable, he can work with.” He paused, then added, “It doesn’t matter who he partners with, but absolutely not Joseph.”Hearing this, Desmond immediately understood.“Mr. Carter, don’t worry. I’ll make sure she gets the instructions clearly.”“That’s fine.”Lucas lifted his hand, signaling Desmond to handle it.With a small nod, Desmond left the office.Back in his own office, Desmond sent Daniel a message.“Handle the project as you see fit, as long as it’s not with Joseph.”Daniel had been waiting anxiously for a reply.When he finally saw the message, he didn’t text back—he called directly.Desmond hesitated for a moment but eventually answered.The moment the line connected, Daniel’s voice came through in a near-complaint. “Mr. Watson, what should I do? Miss Walton from Walton Corporation came to me today—it was Tessa.”Worried
