Whitney nodded and admitted, "Yeah. I didn’t know at first. I only met him after arriving."Mr. Lionheart still understood her personality and knew she wouldn't lie."Did your ex-husband have any intention to invest?"Whitney truly didn't like to lie, and she couldn't hide her emotions either.In the end, she said, "He didn't invest, he went because he was worried about me."Mr. Lionheart said, "Such a good relationship, yet divorced?"Whitney didn't like to talk about her private matters, "That has nothing to do with work."Mr. Lionheart didn't ask further, after all, this involved the Hilton family, and Dianne a higher position than him."Actually, the development zone was already confirmed to be given to Tristan, but now I've received news that the only son of the Chase family from Hesterfield also wants the development zone in Jeral. They even submitted bidding documents."Whitney asked, "You're telling me this because...""Do you know if Zain knows your ex-husband?""He
Caleb said, "I already said, you can prepare a big gift for her.""It really is impossible to communicate with you."Caleb raised his hand and rubbed his thumb against the space between his eyebrows. "My bad. But I have to explain for myself — I really didn't know it was her birthday today. After all, she's not my girlfriend, and Blake didn't come either, nor did he ask me to help."Whitney suddenly caught something.No matter how busy Blake was, he would never miss Yvonne's birthday, since he liked her so much."So it's not her birthday today. Then, what is it — a trap dinner?"Caleb patted her head. "Smart."Whitney didn't have many friends and didn't want to think so badly of others.She believed Yvonne had her hardships and didn’t have any choice."Need me to give you some advice?"Whitney rubbed her head. "I'm really not refusing to help, it's just not up to me. That bidding agreement of yours isn't very useful either."Back then, no one invested when needed, now someon
"Then why did you still came to find me? Why are you telling me all this? Isn't what you're doing forcing me to pick sides?"These three questions confused Caleb.He couldn't help but laugh, his shoulders shaking.Whitney withdrew her hand, her voice clear and cold, just like her."No comment."Caleb's long fingers tapped on the keyboard, and he didn't say anything more.This was Whitney's room, yet he was rightfully working here.She didn't care and just looked at her phone nearby.When the time was about right, they went out to eat.Caleb put away his computer and went with her.On the way, he quietly asked, "Are you really not going to take a look at the bidding plan for me?"Whitney said nothing.Caleb also kept silent.At the restaurant, Yvonne was already waiting."Over here."Whitney saw the cake and asked, "Yvonne, is it your birthday?"Yvonne nodded. "Georgina happened to be busy and couldn't celebrate with me, so I came to you. It's a bit sudden—I hope you don
"It’s not like that. Tristan wasn't a good person. Yvonne, there was no such thing as what should or shouldn't be. Since you decided to escape, that place must be somewhere you didn't want to go back to. That development zone might not necessarily go to Tristan. Caleb and the others would have their ways."Yvonne smiled, but then tears fell down her cheeks. "If I didn’t exist, none of this would have happened. I didn't want them to fight because of me. I'm a person who shouldn't have been born."Whitney didn't understand her past and didn't know what to say.She just held her hand tightly, thinking of giving her strength."Don’t worry, Yvonne. Nothing bad will happen. Don't overthink it. Just enjoy the present."Yvonne looked at Whitney.Whitney felt puzzled. "What's wrong?"Yvonne wiped her tears and patted her head. "Come on. Your face is so red. I don’t want you to faint."It seemed as if the one who had been fragile just now wasn't her.Whitney didn't ask more.Yvonne sai
When this area couldn't be developed into a heavy industry, they had approached both the Hilton Group and the Scholfield Group.But neither of them invested.They also contacted foreign investors, who said they would invest only if heavy industry was developed.Because other ventures were unprofitable, businessmen wouldn't want to be the fools losing money.Moreover, no matter what business they did, having so many elderly residents who resisted whenever there was trouble meant ongoing headaches.So this area was left abandoned.There were even old men and women farming nearby.It was likely that Tristan wouldn't have an easy time building a theme park either.But he took advantage of this loophole.He had studied the area for a long time and already taken action.He was confident he could secure the deal.Watching him and Whitney wasn't really out of concern that he might snatch the area.It was just habit to keep an eye on people and avoid any slip-ups."So I asked you t
Whitney just didn't want things to be so ambiguous.She still needed time to think about whether to become Caleb’s wife again.She also wanted to spend more time with him, to let him calm down properly.But it ended up like this again."We'll talk tomorrow. I want to rest now.""Sleep here."Caleb pinned her down on the bed, and she said, "Then you go out.""I can't go out.""Why not?""Because I have to protect you."Whitney took a deep breath, too tired to respond, and pulled the blanket over herself.But the next second, she got up again.Seeing him go into the bathroom, she could only wait for him to finish.She didn't expect to fall asleep while waiting.When she woke up, the sun was already up.She saw Caleb on the sofa.This room was a couple's room, and the sofa was not a proper sofa.He was tall with long legs, and sleeping on it looked uncomfortable.One leg was still on the floor.But she didn't care about him, nor did she feel pity.Even if her heart fel
