Chapter 67
"That's right! Our customers have been taken away before we even realised. Before that. we didn't receive any news at all!"
Xenophilius looked really grumpy, "Giltstone's Enterprise and I have never interfered in each other's business. Lambert's Enterprise has been avoiding them in product development. I didn't expect Augustine Giltstone would compete with me.”
"President Lambert, what did you do to offend Augustine?”
"Yes! Augustine Giltstone didn't look like he’d be interested in shipping industry!"
"Hmph, Giltstone Enterprise is interested in everything that makes money.” Another manager retorted. Xenophilius's face sank. Finally, he sneered coldly, "Look into it. I want to know the reason behind." "Yes." A group of high-ranking executives responded instantly.
On the way back to the office, Xenophilius thought carefully about every interaction with Augustine in the past. Although they were both well-known families in City A, Augustine had only been in the
Giltstone Enterprise for a few years and had very few chances to meet him. Occasionally, they would meet at the banquets once or twice, and they were always being courteous with each other. How did he offend him?
That incident made Xenophilius sense some danger. Not long ago, Augustine bought a large company. His means were domineering. It could be said that he was ruthless and merciless.
Moreover, Augustine didn’t only acquire those company that people didn't manage well. Instead, everything that he had interest in would eventually become his.
Xenophilius did not dare to be careless. Yet, he couldn't figure out why and how he had offended Augustine.
When he returned to the office, he saw a copy of a payment slip sent by his assistant. He glanced for a few seconds and realized that it was Jessamyn's design fees, which was actually 4.8 million dollars and was paid in one go.
Xenophilius signed with a sullen face and then picked up his phone and called Jessamyn
"Hello, honey! Aren't you busy?"
"Did you buy any diamond rings recently?”
Xenophilius queried expressionlessly.
Jessamyn was stunned for a few seconds, "Honey, I just ordered a diamond ring as your present for me on our wedding anniversary. What's wrong?" Xenophilius was a little anxious but his tone was still a little soft, "Nothing!"
"One more week till our wedding anniversary. Honey, I'm looking forward to it!”
Xenophilius sighed and felt tired, "I'll leave it to you!"
"Great!" She nodded
"I'm busy now." Xenophilius hung up the phone. Augustine had stolen his clients. that made him agitated!
In a beauty salon, Jessamyn hung up the phone and stayed blank for a few seconds. How could she not hear the displeasure in Xenophilius's tone? Did he think that the diamond ring she had designed was too pricy?
It was less than five million dollars. Why did he start to be petty to her?
She couldn't help but think of what Xenophilius had said last time, he wanted to compensate Vivianna. He wanted to be generous to Vivianna but petty to his wife?
Or, had Vivianna been playing any tricks recently? She had to warn Vivianna again, so that Vivianna would keep a low profile and mind her own business.
Thinking of that, she looked at the time. It was over three o'clock in the afternoon. It would be almost half-past four by the time she reached at Vivianna's company, just the right time to catch her.
Jessamyn drove her sports car to Vivianna’s company.
Vivianna was focused on her drawings when the phone beside her rang. She picked it up and thought that it was from Augustine. “Hello?” She picked it up
“Our son is finishing school at half-past four. Stop your work and I’m picking you up."
"Okay!" Vivianna nodded. Her job was relatively flexible, she was only required to hand in her work on time.
Vivianna tidied up the table and planned to go downstairs to wait for Augstine.
Vivianna waited at the door. Augustine had not arrived. Instead, she saw Jessamyn getting out from a sports car. Jessamyn spotted Vivianna. Hatred flashed in Jessamyn's eyes and she walked up to her.
Vivianna looked at her with a cold face, "What can I do for you, Mrs. Lambert?" “You know d*mn well that Iam Mrs.
Lambert, Vivianna. Let me warn you, you'd better stay away from Xenophilius." Jessamyn stared at her fiercely in her delicate makeup. "I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in sc*mbags." Vivianna said with disdain.
"Good. I don't know what tricks you've been secretly using. I heard that you have a son. Is it true?”
Vivianna's face became tense instantaneously, "It has nothing to do with you."
"I don't know whose illegitimate child it is. Viviane you're really good. You gota sornas soon as you went o abroad. A ire you that lonely and. = desperate?” Jessamyn thoughtthat shegot pregnant abroad andgave bin to her son overseas. ©
Hearing the word "illegitimate", Vivianna was so enraged that she slapped Jessamyn on her egotistical face. She didn't slap her last time, but that day, she couldn't hold it.
Jessamyn cried out in pain and stared at Vivianna in disbelief, covering her face. She was about to explode, "Vivianna, how dare you hit me.” Vivianna jeered, "If you dare to demean my son again, I will never let you go.”
Jessamyn's face turned pale as she was extremely angry. She raised her arm and wanted to fight back. However, as soon as she raised her hand, a huge yet strong palm grabbed her hand, she could not hit her.
Jessamyn was shocked. She turned around in a split second and saw that the man who held her hand was... Augustine Giltstone.
Oh God! She exclaimed to herself.
Before she cowd even react, a force threw her several steps away. She choked and took a couple of steps-~ back. Augustine did not know hers He tumed his gaze at Vivianna’s: facecarefully and asked, ‘Areyou okay?" S
"It's okay! Let's go!" Vivianna did not want to be entangled with Jessamyn. She opened Augustine's car door and sat in.
However, Augustine did not get on the car immediately. He stared at Jessamyn with a pair of icy-cold eyes, with a silent warning and danger under his eyes.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Ever since Jessamyn become Mrs. Lambert. she had never been afraid of anyone. However, at that moment, her heart was trembling with fear. That man was someone one shouldn't be messing with.
"Don't let me see you bully her again. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences." Augustine's voice was as cold as ice, every word was firm and laced with threat.
Jessamyn was so frightened that she took a step
back.
At that time, Yivianna had been waiting in ther car for a while. The isolation effect of the window was-~ excellent-She did nothear = Augustine’ Ss warning to Jessamiyn, Shepressed down the windew and said, ' ‘Augustine, we shouldveave."
