Semua Bab The President's Darling: Bab 721 - Bab 730

Caroline felt a little awkward. Initially, she had invited Layla and Suzanne to have a good chat. When she had realized that Suzanne knew James, she had been very happy. However, James just treated her like she was invisible. To diffuse the awkwardness, Caroline asked, "Suzanne, since you recognize James, why don't you two introduce yourselves to each other?" Then, she said, "You can't be rude, James. The Camberwells and our family have many collaborations. You're the president of Quigley Group, and Suzanne will take over Camberwell Group in the future. So, you two have to establish good connections with each other."Caroline spoke very seriously, and it seemed like an order. Actually, James knew what she was thinking, but he didn't expose her. After all, she was right. Quigley Group and Camberwell Group had many collaborations with one another. So, they had to introduce themselves to each other properly. He placed his fork down and looked at Suzanne seriously. "Hello, Ms. C

Suzanne had just returned from overseas, so she hadn't known that James was married. If not for the call earlier on, she would have assumed that James was single. Caroline wanted to smooth things over, so she smiled tenderly. "James is married, but his partner isn't that perfect yet. We're still keeping an eye on her."Her words evidently implied that she disliked Summer. Yet, James replied coldly, "I like Summer, and I'll like her forever."The mood was ruined, and everyone became unhappy. No one knew what to say. That was exactly what James had wanted; he had wanted everyone to know that he was married so that they wouldn't come up with any strange ideas. After finishing the meal, James dropped Suzanne and Layla home. Yet, none of them spoke in the car. Layla and Suzanne knew that James was upset, so they didn't dare to speak at all. Once they returned to the Camberwell residence, Suzanne became very angry. She complained, asking, "Mom, what's going on? Why is James marri

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

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.

"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
