Chapter 189

Her cheeks were burning hot.

Paula patted her face and walked forward in confusion when she suddenly saw a tall figure coming out of the elevator.

It was the "scumbag" August, whom she unexpectedly bumped into.

Paula shrank her head slightly, pretended not to see him, lowered her head, and walked quickly towards the elevator.

Suddenly, she heard a voice, "Wait a minute."

Paula was stunned for a moment and looked back at August.

She looked around at the empty surroundings and said, "You're talking to me?"

August nodded lightly.

He took out a business card from his pocket slowly and handed it to her, "If anything happens to Lucia and she needs help, you can call me."

Paula hesitantly stretched out her hand to take it.

Just as she was about to ask something, August turned around and walked away quickly.

What...what was going on? Could it be that Lucia and this scumbag had made any substantial progress? Or something had happened between them just now...

Paula didn't dare to think more about it.

She dragged her "half-disabled" leg and immediately got into the elevator.

If she found out that Lucia had been bullied when she went back, she would teach August a lesson! In the apartment, just when Lucia was hesitating whether to go out and look for Paula, the doorbell rang.

She immediately went over to open the door and saw Paula holding a bag of medicine outside the door.

She was startled and asked quickly, "What's the matter with you, Paula?"

Paula shook her head, but pulled her nervously and asked, "I'm fine.Lucia, that scumbag didn't molest you, right?" Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

When Lucia heard this, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

She shook her head and said, "No.But why are you injured?"

Seeing that Lucia was fine, Paula was relieved.

She hopped to the sofa and said angrily, "It's because of Burton! He's a sick bastard!"

Hearing her scolding like this, Lucia couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?"

A blush flashed across Paula's cheeks, and she quickly faltered, "It's...it's alright.By the way, where's the fondue?"

When Lucia heard her words, she was at a loss for words and couldn't answer, "Well..."

Paula looked back at her in surprise, "You didn't eat it alone, did you?!"

Lucia gritted her teeth and said, "No, August..."

"What?"

Paula's eyes widened in disbelief.She looked at Lucia and asked, "What was he here for? Was he here for free food?"

Lucia smiled helplessly and remained silent.

To be honest, she felt the same way.

On the other side, Burton drove out of the community.

Burton was sitting in the driver's seat, and he somehow felt a faint smell of fondue.

Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Mr.Adams, do you smell fondue?"

August's eyes narrowed and he looked a little awkward.

A second later, he replied, "No, what's wrong?"

Burton was confused, and said to himself, "Maybe it's my illusion..."

August paused for a moment, cleared his throat deliberately, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you talked to the media?"

When talking about business, Burton looked serious, and immediately said, "It's all arranged.They're just waiting for tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, August nodded.He raised his eyes and looked out the window, and his eyes were a little deep.

In another ten hours, the Kelly Group would see a good show.

The next morning, in the conference room of Kelly Group, Martin made a promise in a firm tone, "As long as we can cooperate, we can negotiate other details.Our purpose is mutual benefit.I promise your company will not suffer any losses."

Mr.West nodded and said, "I know this, Coster Group has cooperated with your Kelly Group before, but the plan you have provided is not detailed enough, including consumer portraits and expectations for the next three years.The data evaluation is not perfect enough, and we want to know more before making a decision."

"Of course.This is just a preliminary plan.If you are interested in the Welsh Garden project, we will provide a more detailed plan as soon as possible."

As soon as Martin finished it, Mr.West's cell phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the screen and smiled at Martin apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr.Kelly, I'm going to answer a call."

Martin smiled, "Go ahead please."

Seeing Mr.West go to the side to answer the phone, Martin turned to look at Merlin, who looked weary at his side, and his brows tightened, and his eyes darkened a little.

Merlin didn't come home again last night.

If it weren't for the negotiation this morning, maybe he wouldn't come to the company at all! Martin stared at Merlin angrily.

But he couldn't lose his temper because his partner was there, so he had to suppress it.

Merlin didn't realize it.

He flipped through the plan in front of him and yawned like no one else was around.

At this moment, Mr.West hung up the phone and walked over.

He looked at Martin, and smiled apologetically, "Mr.Kelly, the situation has changed.I'm afraid we may not be able to continue this cooperation."

"What?"

When Martin heard this, his eyes widened and he quickly stood up, "Mr.West, is there something wrong?"

Mr.West decided to leave.

He shook his head.

Without a word of explanation, he packed up his things and walked out of the conference room with his two subordinates.

Martin lowered his eyes, paused, and coldly ordered his assistant to see Mr.West out.

As soon as they left, Merlin stood up immediately and couldn't help cursing, "Damn it! What are these people from Coster Group doing? They just came and left? They don't take our Kelly Group seriously at all."

Martin's face was extremely gloomy.

He pursed his lips and said nothing.

At this moment, a secretary walked in with a bit of panic on her face, and reported in a low voice, "Mr.Kelly, something happened."

She handed the tablet computer in her hand to Martin.

Martin took it with a sullen face.

When he saw the headline of the news on the screen, his face instantly turned pale.

He swiped and saw the photo attached below.

His hands trembled slightly with anger.

Merlin didn't know what was going on.

He stepped forward and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Before he could finish his sentence, Martin turned around, raised his hand, and slapped Merlin hard in the face.

It was so hard that the secretary beside him bowed her head and took two steps back.

Merlin was stunned when he was slapped.

He looked at Martin's angry face.

Before he could ask, Martin threw the tablet computer at him, "You bastard, look at what you did!"

Merlin came to his sense and immediately picked up the tablet on the ground.

When he read the news on it, he was immediately dumbfounded.

[The son of the president of Kelly Group was out with a young model late at night, and they spent a night together in a private villal]

The photo below was the photo of him and Cecile Brown walking into the villa intimately! He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Damn these paparazzi!"

Next to him, Martin's face was contorted with anger.

He stretched out his hand, pointed at him tremblingly, and said, "Merlin, I'll see how you're going to handle this matter!"

Then he waved his hand and strode out.

He finally found a company that he hoped to cooperate with.

Unexpectedly, Merlin's scandal broke out before an agreement was reached.

As a result, the reputation of the Kelly family was damaged.

Who would dare to cooperate with them?! Merlin froze there.

His head was buzzing after he was slapped.

He clenched his fists.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

He and Cecile had been dating for a while.

Why was it exposed at this time? No! Something was wrong! Suddenly he thought of something.
