Semua Bab The Ex-Husband's Revenge: Bab 711 - Bab 720

The Wicks were one of the most powerful families in all of Springfield City with a total assets of over billions. Jensen, as the future leader of his family, was almost as mighty as a god to people in Springfield City and could not possibly know an ordinary man like Leon in Ava's point of view, so she could not bring herself to believe what Leon said."I'm not joking. I meant it-" Leon tried to explain himself, but was immediately interrupted by Ava."Enough! I don't want to hear any more of your lies! Whether you meant what you said or not, Wick Group focuses on working with high-end brands and our brand does not fit into that category, so they will never work with us!" Ava dismissed him.She had a great first impression on Leon at first, thinking that a man who won Janice's heart would be someone reliable, yet Leon bragged about being friends with powerful figures of the city and Ava felt nothing but disgust for him."It's fine if you don't want to believe me." Leon scowled in an

"You're finally here, Mister Lynch!" Ava forced a smile and stood to welcome him."Miss Addice, I'm a busy man. I'm sure you'll forgive me for being late," remarked Mister Lynch casually, knowing that Acme Group would be willing to wait since they were the ones begging for his help.Ava, though frustrated, could not let it show. "Have a seat, Mister Lynch."They all took their seats, and Ava called the waiter in to prepare drinks and snacks."Miss Addice, who is the beautiful lady next to you? What's her name?" Mister Lynch's eyes lit up at the sight of Janice."Mister Lynch, allow me to introduce her. This is the sales department manager, Janice Lynch, and that's Leon Wolf next to her," Ava introduced them briefly."It's a pleasure, Miss Lynch." Mister Lynch stretched out a hand to shake Janice's, all the while ignoring Leon since he concluded that Leon was merely an employee."Hello, Mister Lynch..." Janice hesitated before reaching out to shake his hand.Mister Lynch took th

"If you come to dinner with me alone, I can lower the rate to five percent!" continued Mister Lynch.As Ava predicted, Mister Lynch did not dare to do anything to Ava or Janice since Leon was present, and since he failed to get what he wanted, he decided to put all the cards on the table."What? No way!" Both Ava and Janice shot up from their seats.None of them were naive enough to think that Mister Lynch wanted only a dinner with Janice."Miss Lynch, you better think this through before refusing. Eight percent and five percent might not seem to have a big difference between them, but a difference in billions is involved! If you save the company billions, forget a raise—I'm sure you'll receive a lot more benefits from them! Beautiful women ought to utilize their gifts and for just one night with you, you'll save yourself decades worth of hard work..." Mister Lynch said proudly, feeling confident that Janice would cave before the temptation of money."Why you—!"Janice and Ava ha

Janice Lynch did not know what to do next."Did you hear that? Scram!" Leon commanded."Y—Yes..." Mister Lynch crawled his way out of the room and turned to shoot the three a resentful look before leaving.He was the vice president of Westpraise Group and had never been humiliated in such a manner. He swore to make Leon pay for the humiliation that he felt and toy with Ava and Janice as he pleased to vent his anger.Ava snapped out of the initial shock after Mister Lynch left and slammed her palms against the table. "Look at what you've done! Are you trying to get us killed or something?!"Though Mister Lynch had stepped out of the line, she could have ended the meeting by accepting to pay an extra eight percent of Acme Group's profit. That way, Janice would not need to sell herself out and Ava would be able to answer to the firm's board.However, since Leon had injured Mister Lynch, the collaboration between Acme Group and Westpraise Group was destroyed. Once the board found out

"Hello, Mister Wick," greeted Ava and Janice in unison, albeit nervously.Jensen was a powerful figure in Springfield City, and the two felt anxious to be in such close proximity to him.After a brief exchange of pleasantry, Jensen asked, "Mister Wolf, is there anything you need from me?""Here's the thing. I've just ruined the meeting between Acme Group and Westpraise Group. As compensation, I'd like to get them a chance to work with Wick Group instead..." Leon explained."Sure! That's not a problem," came Jensen's swift reply.Seeing how close Leon was to the Wicks, Jensen could not possibly refuse to help on such small matters."T—That's it?" Ava gaped in disbelief. She would have to be a fool to know that Leon truly was a friend of Jensen. However, since Acme Group's products did not belong to the category that Wick Group usually worked with, she thought that Jensen would refuse or at least propose conditions that would be hard to fulfill. To her bewilderment, Jensen agreed t
