The President's Darling Chapter 724
Suzanne and Caroline had spoken a lot when Suzanne had visited the Quigley residence. Both of them had a good relationship with each other. So, Suzanne was certain that if she got together with James, the Quigleys would approve of her. But would James choose her? Suzanne replied, "James and Summer seem to love each other a lot. A marriage involves two people. Even if Aunt Caroline likes me, it won't help.""Caroline likes you, so she will help you. Do you think that you won't be able to defeat Summer?""That's not it." Suzanne was confident of her abilities. When she had been in Mystoria, many rich scions had wooed her relentlessly. After she had returned to her native country, she had also received invitations from many prestigious families in hopes that she could go on a blind date with their sons. So, she was definitely more attractive than Summer.Finally, Suzanne made up her mind. "I got it, Mom. I'll try my best to get what I want. Since I like him, I'll have to work h

At this moment, the phone on the table buzzed. It was a text from James that read: "Darling, can I pick you up after work tonight?" There was a heart emoji at the end of the message.After they had gotten married, James had learned to be romantic. Now, he often made plans for them to go out for dinner, which was quite nice.Although cooking and eating together at home was a good experience, dining out added more to the atmosphere.Summer quickly replied to the text with one word: "Okay."Honestly, she was looking forward to dinner that night. It had been a month since they had gone out for dinner together. But it wasn't entirely Summer's fault. Every night, she had to go to the Quigley residence to endure Caroline's torturous training. She barely had the time to have dinner with James, let alone go out.Since she had decided to go out for dinner, she needed to ask Caroline for leave.Before the training had started, Caroline had told Summer that she would have four days off each month

But since she had already decided not to go, there was nothing she could do. She called James and explained the situation.She couldn't tell him that she had to attend classes in the Quigley residence, so she pretended like she had work to do at the company and couldn't join him for dinner.After explaining, Summer repeatedly apologized. She genuinely felt sorry toward James, who had always been accommodating her throughout their marriage.James responded in a gentle, pampering tone, "It's okay, Summie. If you have something to do, go ahead. Our date is not urgent; we can go out another time.""Okay, then… Let's each focus on our own work. Take care of yourself, and don't overwork.""Okay."After she hung up, the office became quiet once more.In the president's office of Quigley Group, James wasn't as disappointed as expected. Instead, he was smiling, seemingly filled with joy.His secretary, Xyla, wondered what he was smiling about. She asked, "Mr. Quigley, did something good

On the other end of the phone, Suzanne sounded hasty—she even sounded a bit nervous. She was a confident woman. However, she would become unusually anxious when speaking to James. She sat on her sofa at home and waited for his reply. James was hesitating as well. Since this was not a small project, he couldn't believe that David Camberwell handed it over to his daughter. The Xomus Business and Trade Tower was the biggest joint venture between Quigley Group and Camberwell Group. Their goal was to build the first-ever entertainment and cultural center in the country. The building was 150 levels high. It was easily one of the tallest buildings in Rosseera City.Even for the Quigley Group, the Xomus Tower project was extremely significant. How could the Camberwell Group put Suzanne in charge of such an important contract?If that was the case, he couldn't possibly reject her now. He had to separate professional matters from his private life."Oceanview Restaurant, Ms. Camberwell.

James preferred quieter settings. Especially since they were here to discuss the contract, he would rather just book out the entire place. Additionally, he had security guards stationed outside the building, too. He didn't cause such a commotion because he thought highly of Suzanne. Instead, he chose to do so because he valued the contract greatly. The project was worth hundreds of billions of dollars and was one of Quigley Group's most important ones.He was seated as he waited for her arrival. Suzanne was punctual as well. She was wearing a white mini-dress that showed off her legs. Her slender figure and silky hair made her look elegant and refined, reflecting the poise of an upper-class woman.She approached James. "Hello, Mr. Quigley. I hope I'm not late.""Not at all," he responded as he pulled out the chair for her. As a gentleman, he would've done so regardless of who was on the receiving end. After they were both seated, he delved straight into the business. "The total

"The Camberwells are indeed benefiting from Quigley Group's status, Mr. Quigley. However, since we're partners, shouldn't we aim to have a mutually beneficial relationship? In regards to that, I feel like dividing the profits into equal shares would be the best way to go about this."Suzanne spoke in a soft and gentle tone. She was hoping that James would give in out of consideration for the two families' long-standing friendship and cooperation. To her dismay, he scoffed in response. "Have you ever heard of the saying, 'there are no family ties in war,' Ms. Camberwell? This is especially true in the business world. Do you think I would do you this favor?" Since they were discussing partnership plans, James wasn't planning to go easy on her. The business industry was ruthless and cutthroat—no one was willing to offer handouts of any kind. When it came to business dealings, he was extremely resolute and relentless. The Xomus Tower was a huge project. Losing out on even a small pe

It was just as she explained—if she didn't choose to comply, James wouldn't have gone through with the partnership. If someone had to give in, Suzanne chose to do so voluntarily. It was the only way they could both benefit from the situation. Subsequently, she added, "You've been in talks with my father about profit shares for a month now. On typical occasions, something like this would've been settled within three days. "The both of you were taking too long, and the market is extremely unpredictable. If you hadn't come to a consensus soon, something could've happened and impacted both sides negatively. Do you think I'm right, Mr. Quigley?""You are." James didn't deny it. Her analysis was incredibly spot-on. This surprised him. He was under the assumption that Suzanne Camberwell was the sheltered daughter of a rich family. Upon returning from overseas, she should be living a pampered lifestyle. He had underestimated her—he didn't expect her to be so knowledgeable.His impres

After a moment, David asked in a serious manner, "How are things going with James, Suzanne? I heard about it from your mother—do you really think you could get him to like you?"He was concerned about this. He only gave her such a huge project because Layla told him about the situation.At the current moment, the Quigleys and the Camberwells were close partners. However, that was still a professional relationship. If James and Suzanne could get into a marriage of convenience, it would greatly benefit both of their families.The Quigleys were one of the four most prestigious families in the country—there were plenty of people who wanted to be associated with them. Suzanne, on the other hand, seemed extremely confident. "I should be able to make him like me. At the very least, I think I'm a much better catch than his wife is.""That's great. You should try your best to make our family proud.""Of course, Dad." She smiled softly. Suzanne looked overjoyed, but her expression was lac
