All Chapters of Pampered by the Dominant Billionaire After My Divorce: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

This meal was probably the most painstakingly calculated of Monica's life.But for reasons she couldn't identify, Vince's mood had been poor from the start — and from the moment they entered the private room, she kept hitting walls."I've heard Mr. Boucheron likes golf. I enjoy it quite a bit myself — my father taught me. I wonder whether we might arrange a round together sometime soon."Monica was doing her best to subtly communicate her position in the Harrison family — hoping to score points for herself. She even made sure her eating was more refined than usual.Vince lit a cigarette, glanced at her, and said: "I don't have time lately."Monica's body stiffened slightly, but she quickly smiled through it. "That's perfectly understandable — Mr. Boucheron is very busy. We can discuss it whenever you have time. By the way, Mr. Boucheron, what do you think the chances are of Harrison Group collaborating with Boucheron Group on the Crystal Springs Estate project?"His coming to Harrison

Cecily looked steadily back at his eyes — those eyes, still and lovely as a moon on an autumn night, with not a trace of anxiety in them. Something about them inexplicably soothed the turbulence inside him, made him want without thinking to believe her.Vince suddenly looked away.Seeing this, something bittersweet spread through Cecily's chest layer by layer. She pulled him into her arms again and said softly: "The truth is, I can't bear to leave you. I only said it to make you tell me to stay. Vince… the person I like now is you. So the thought of you believing I still like Adam — that hurts me too."Feeling the man in front of her go stiff, Cecily's eyes grew warm. She tilted forward slightly and kissed the corner of Vince's mouth. "Laura told me that men need to be coaxed too. I've come all this way to coax you — and you still won't forgive me?"She looked directly into his eyes. Those eyes, as cool and deep as always — but now holding something complicated and hard to read.Durin

This time, Jessica took a deep breath and answered quickly. A man's voice came through immediately — unctuous and vicious: "Jessica, you've been back this long — have you found yourself a new toy boy? Forgetting me so fast, and not picking up my calls!"Hearing that slick, cruel edge in his voice, Jessica's hand trembled involuntarily. She forced a cool tone. "Mr. Quinn, I broke up with you before I left. I'd appreciate it if you didn't call me again. It's becoming a problem for me.""Ha…" On the other end came the coy sounds of a woman, along with an unmistakable rhythmic backdrop. Jessica knew exactly what was happening on that end. She felt sick to her stomach, but she bit her lip and didn't hang up — then heard his cold, displeased voice: "A problem… so you really have found a new man. But here's the thing — when you came to me, this game stopped being one you could walk away from on your terms. Found someone better and want to leave? You haven't asked whether I agree."The man's

That afternoon, Darren gave Cecily a new assignment — to win the Coastal Bridge project from the city government's recent open tender. The Coastal Bridge was one of Harrison Group's two most important projects for the second half of the year, alongside Crystal Springs Estate. Harrison Group set great store by it. When Cecily received the brief she was both surprised and took it seriously.That evening, before Vince had a chance to call, she took the initiative and called him first, letting him know she'd be working late tonight and would be back late.When Vince received the call, he had already driven to the block outside Harrison Group. He was leaning against the car door, one hand in his pocket, smoking with relaxed ease. In his suit and tie with the front button of his jacket undone, revealing the white shirt beneath, his usual composed and severe air took on a faint edge of rakish cool. The curls of cigarette smoke made his handsome face even more vivid and distinguished.It was

Monica recovered her shoe in a fury and put it back on, and by the time she walked back out there was no trace of Vince's car to be seen.She kicked her foot against the ground in frustration, then could only get back into her own car.……After leaving The Onyx Club, Vince made a call to Frank. When the call connected, his brow creased slightly. "Look into Serena Harrison's pregnancy."Frank had it on speaker, so the other two heard as well. Jeffrey laughed. "I wondered why Vince was bothering to deal with that woman at the entrance — turns out he was gathering intelligence."Vince's face held no expression. He hadn't originally intended to waste any time on Monica. But she'd been stupid enough to walk into him herself, so he'd taken the opportunity to ask a few questions. And indeed, as he'd suspected, there were some problems here."Rumour has it that Darren's current wife is carrying a boy — and knowing how particular and sharp Darren Harrison is, whether it's a boy or girl, this p
