Chapter 41

Jim was confused when he heard Winona say that Spencer Group managed to secure the deal with Draken Group.The confusion only grew when he heard Winona thanking him profusely over the phone.He hadn’t even started calling people and pulling strings. How could Spencer Group secure the ten-billion-dollar project so quickly?However, when he heard Winona expressing her gratitude and even asking him out for a meal, he immediately agreed to it without explaining to her that it might all be a misunderstanding.Subsequently, when Jim saw how Winona believed without a doubt that he was the one who helped her secure the deal, he requested her to divorce Edward in return for his help.That was when Winona immediately sought Edward out to sign the divorce papers.She had been displeased with Edward’s meagre contributions in washing, cooking and cleaning over the three years of their marriage. When she heard that she had to divorce Edward to secure the ten-billion-dollar deal, she did it wit

Jim praised himself inwardly for being so smart and quick-witted.Once again, he had proved to be the brightest of them all.Naturally, Winona had no clue about what was going on in Jim’s mind. All she could see was Jim anxiously trying to distance himself from the deal, which she thought was an attempt to shut Edward up.Jim’s seemingly righteous behavior, juxtaposed against Edward shamelessly stealing credit for what another man did, made Winona realize just how much better Jim was compared to Edward.Winona glared at Edward and said with fury, “See how much more sensible Mr. Wilson is compared to you. He chose not to claim credit for something he did just to shut you up.“You, on the other hand, insist on shamelessly stealing Mr. Wilson’s credit. I’m incredibly disappointed with you.”Winona turned to look apologetically at Jim.“Mr. Wilson, don’t you worry. I know for sure that you’re the one who secured this ten-billion-dollar deal for me. I won’t shortchange you.”Jim smi

Stephanie immediately fell silent, subdued by the air of authority Jennifer excluded. She looked stunned at Jennifer who was at the peak of her anger, not daring to utter a word.Everyone in the crowd pulled their phones out to search for Draken Group’s official website, where they found information about Jennifer in no time.“Wow, looks like she really is a senior executive in Draken Group. She’s only 35 years old, but she’s already the vice president of Draken Group with a market value of one trillion. That’s impressive.”“Jennifer Lindt, Bridgeview University graduate and holder of a double master’s degree in finance and management in Winchester University.”“Jennifer Lindt has such a stellar resume, no wonder she made it to the top as the vice president of a company with a market value of one trillion. She’s amazing!”Everyone started looking at Jennifer in a different light.They had all assumed right from the start that Jennifer was but an actress that Edward hired, which e

Jim’s face froze at Jennifer’s words, but he quickly recovered and said laughingly, “Ms. Lindt, you’ve misunderstood. I never said anything like that. I kept saying just now that I had nothing to do with this deal.”No one in the crowd looked shocked at Jim’s declaration.They thought Jim was denying all responsibility because he saw that Jennifer and Edward knew each other and was worried about Edward making things difficult for him.They did not doubt for a second that it was Jim who secured the ten-billion-dollar project with Draken Group for Winona.Given Winona’s capabilities, how could she possibly clinch the deal by herself?Winona had misunderstood Jennifer as well, thinking that she was forcing Jim to deny all involvement in this matter for Edward’s sake.“Ms. Lindt, although you are the vice president of Draken Group, you can’t be so biased toward Edward just because you know him.“Everyone, not just me, knows that it’s all thanks to Mr. Wilson that my company could cl

Jennifer heard Edward’s suggestion to call her chairman.Although she wondered why Edward wanted to call Skyler, she didn’t dare question his instruction and quickly pulled her phone out to dial Skyler’s number.“Jennifer, aren’t you supposed to be busy hosting the signing ceremony? Why are you calling me?”Everyone’s faces turned solemn and somber upon hearing the voice of Skyler Dawson over the phone, the chairman of Draken Group with a market value of one trillion.Although everyone here was respectable figures in Havaria, they knew they weren’t even fit to carry the shoes of a bigwig like Skyler Dawson.When Jim heard Edward’s suggestion to call Skyler, a bad feeling overwhelmed him.That feeling grew even more intense when he saw Edward looking at him with a smug smile.Jennifer replied to Skyler respectfully, “Mr. Dawson, I am at the event right now. It was Mr. Channing who wanted me to call you.”Skyler’s tone immediately turned respectful when he heard Jennifer’s explan

Chapter 46

Everyone looked at Jim in shock when they heard what Skyler had said.The chairman of Draken Group had made it clear that he gave the ten-billion-dollar project to Spencer Group only on account of Edward.It really had nothing to do with Jim.As it turned out, he was the one blowing hot air and stealing the credit when he claimed to be the one who helped Spencer Group clinch the project.“You even said that Mr. Dawson will give me the deal on account of one condition, that is for me to divorce Edward, yet now Mr. Dawson said that he doesn’t know who you are. What’s going on?”Winona’s words made a huge commotion break out amongst the crowd.They finally realized that Winona divorced Edward because Jim had her fooled.Everything, including that one condition, was a damned lie.Jim had clearly lied to win Winona over and she had foolishly believed him.Everyone looked at Jim with scorn and disdain.Although Jim was the eldest son of the Wilson family and they couldn’t afford to

“Is that not the case?” Winona said with a look of superiority in her eyes.“You came here and kicked up such a big fuss today so that I would know that you’re the one who clinched the ten-billion-dollar deal for me and then seek reconciliation with you, right?”“Haha…”Edward burst out laughing at Winona’s speculation, disappointment visible in his eyes.He never expected Winona to think that of him even at this point in time.“Edward, what are you laughing at?” Winona asked, her face dark with displeasure.Edward looked sardonically at Winona and said icily, “Winona Spencer, you really think very highly of yourself. The thought of remarrying you never crossed my mind.“Not just that, even if you wanted to remarry me, I wouldn’t give two hoots about it.“So please don’t flatter yourself. Do you really think I fancy used goods, just like Jim?”Fire burned in Winona’s eyes at Edward’s words as she clenched her fists in anger.Jim, on the other hand, smiled gleefully when he sa

Chapter 48

Everyone gasped when they recognized the middle-aged man as Gerald Wilson, the head of the Wilson household. They then turned their attention back to Edward, looking eager and excited at the scene unfolding before them.Edward had insulted the Wilson family and given Jim a good beating.Now that the head of the Wilson family, who was also Jim’s father, was here, they were in for an exciting show.Jim’s heart filled with joy when he saw his father walk in.“Dad, you’re here! Quick, get rid of this rascal for me,” he started yelling.“Not only did he hit me, but he kept insulting our family. Don’t let him off lightly.”Gerald’s face turned dark when he saw Edward stepping on his own son and he looked murderously at Edward.“Where did this country bumpkin come from? How dare you insult my family and humiliate my son like this. Stop right now and get on your knees!”Jim looked smugly at Edward.“Edward, my dad is here and you’re doomed.“Take your foot off me right now! I’ll show

Chapter 49

“Exactly. Even though Draken Group is bigger and more powerful than the Wilson family, its sphere of influence lies in Zarconia. It’s stretching it to say that they can exert their influence all the way here in Havaria. Edward is not acting very wisely.”“Seems like Edward’s in hot soup. Gerald Wilson would never see his own son literally get stepped all over and humiliated and do nothing about it. I’m afraid even God won’t be able to save Edward.”Winona knew that Gerald was losing it and entertaining thoughts of killing Edward and she turned to look coldly at Edward.“Edward, you’re really courting death this time.“It’d be useless even if I were to speak up for you and ask for mercy. You might not live to see tomorrow, now that you’ve offended the head of the Wilson family.”Stephanie looked gloatingly at Edward and said with a chuckle, “Ms. Spencer, don’t waste your breath on him. He’s going to be a dead man in no time.“It’s better with him dead, lest he does something else

Jim looked contemptuously at Edward and burst out laughing, too.“Edward Channing, you’re out of your mind. Shall I give you some pocket money to see a doctor?”Everyone looked at Edward with incredulity and derision.They thought that Edward must be blowing hot air once again.The Wilsons were a very influential and powerful family in Havaria. How could they become bankrupt just like that?Pigs could fly if Edward were that powerful!Winona scoffed, “Mr. Wilson, don’t stoop to Edward’s level.“He’s doing this just because he’s jealous and trying to take revenge on me, seeing that we have such a good relationship.“I’ve known him for three years and I know his background in and out. He’s just putting on an act.”Edward looked disappointedly at Winona and said, shaking his head, “Winona Spencer, I was truly blind to have married you.“You made a huge mistake. I wasn’t blowing hot air and I’m not bankrupting the Wilsons because I’m trying to take revenge on you. Don’t think so
