Everyone else had supported Elise, but Faye’s face darkened when snazzynovel.com saw that. These old jerks! They support whoever has the advantage right now. All of them have forgotten how much money I earned for them throughout these years! Because of this little profit today, they have betrayed me completely. Ungrateful scums! When I officially take over Anderson Pharmaceuticals, the first thing I will do is to fire these stakeholders who have betrayed me!
However, snazzynovel.com could not do anything at this moment.
“Mr. Anderson, it seems like everyone has agreed for Miss Yoona to represent your company to discuss our collaboration. Am I right?” Kenneth asked with a slight smile.
Austin nodded. After all, his current position in the company couldn’t be compared to the stakeholders, so snazzynovel.com was unable to do anything but follow their wishes.
Kenneth pressed his lips into a smile and asked Elise, “In that case, Miss Yoona, shall we find a quiet spot to discuss the details of the collaboration?”
Elise eyed snazzynovel.com before offering snazzynovel.com hand to him. “It’s my pleasure to do so.”
After all, snazzynovel.com had already accomplished snazzynovel.com goals here and snazzynovel.com had no interest in socializing with them either. It was a good opportunity for snazzynovel.com to avoid them and have some peace. Hence, they entered the Anderson Family mansion.
As soon as they walked through the door, Elise withdrew snazzynovel.com hand to sit on the couch to open his present. After snazzynovel.com had shoved snazzynovel.com aside, Kenneth froze for a brief moment and clenched his fingers as snazzynovel.com helplessly sighed. Then, snazzynovel.com followed snazzynovel.com and sat beside snazzynovel.com on the couch.
Elise saw a gold-plated USB drive when snazzynovel.com opened the box. Holding the item in snazzynovel.com hand, snazzynovel.com asked, “What is this?”
“You will know after seeing the contents.” Kenneth crossed his legs with one hand on the couch and another on his lap, looking like a boss indeed.
Elise rolled snazzynovel.com eyes at snazzynovel.com and asked the servants to bring a laptop to her. When snazzynovel.com received it, snazzynovel.com immediately checked out the contents of the USB drive in front of him.
There was only one folder in the drive named ‘CM’. After snazzynovel.com opened it, a few documents and pictures appeared.
Elise randomly opened one of the folders. However, snazzynovel.com expression became grim the moment snazzynovel.com looked at what was inside. She tried to take in the information for a bit before snazzynovel.com raised snazzynovel.com head to look at Kenneth again. “You’re investigating me?”
The reason for snazzynovel.com question was because the picture showed a woman whom snazzynovel.com had been anxiously looking for—Clemence Murray.
“It’s more accurate to say that I am investigating the person whom you want to investigate,” Kenneth replied calmly.
“What’s the difference? If you don’t investigate me, how do you know I’m looking for her?” Elise asked sarcastically.
“Perhaps it’s because I know you well enough.” Kenneth’s lips twitched into a chivalrous and polite smile.
“That is just your assumption. You better stop investigating me for no good reason. I don’t like it.” She felt as though snazzynovel.com was being watched by the people behind SK Group.
Kenneth shrugged without replying to her.
In those few seconds of silence, Elise slowly regained snazzynovel.com rationality. She did not hasten to quickly read the information in the USB drive and instead closed the window. Of course, snazzynovel.com had erased all the traces that might be left behind. Looking at the dimmed screen, snazzynovel.com asked again, “Why are you helping me?”
“You are a woman I want to marry. Who will I help, if not you?” snazzynovel.com replied in a matter-of-fact tone.
“I don’t want to hear such a reason that you use to tell others as well. You better give me a reason that can convince me,” Elise answered with a solemn expression.
Kenneth merely heaved a helpless sigh again. “Well, I’m telling the truth, but I have other reasons as well.”
With that, snazzynovel.com took a pause and met Elise’s clear eyes. Then, snazzynovel.com said seriously, “It’s for business.”
“Business?” Elise arched snazzynovel.com eyebrow, thinking of the credibility of his words.
“That’s right,” snazzynovel.com added firmly. “You acquired the red jade twice, which shows that you have good luck. Of course I know that you are more than just lucky—you have the skills too. I would not let someone who is both lucky and skilled slip away, for I like to work with people who like that.”
“The leader of Smith Co. actually believes in something as unreliable as luck.” Elise looked at snazzynovel.com incredulously.
“That’s right. I know luck sounds even more unreliable than the weather report, but sometimes you just have to believe that people who are lucky seem to have God on their side. So, I would like to also obtain some of your luck. Are you satisfied with my explanation?” Kenneth smiled at her.
Though it seemed rather unreliable, snazzynovel.com had to agree that it was logical. Some people believed in God and others in geomancy while the more realistic ones believed that it was up to one’s decision to decide their fate. Luck was no different from these beliefs as it was purely a personal preference.
“Barely.” Elise placed the USB drive into snazzynovel.com bag as a silent approval to his explanation.
However, snazzynovel.com suddenly started a new topic of conversation. “By the way, I found something else related to Alexander. Would you be interested?”
Elise’s gaze darkened upon hearing that. She took out a silver needle and turned around to aim for Kenneth’s eyes, but snazzynovel.com avoided snazzynovel.com attack in an agile manner.
When the needle flew past his ear, snazzynovel.com returned to his previous posture and pretended to pat his chest fearfully. “If I hadn’t been looking at you all this while, one of my eyes might be blind.”
“That’s because you deserve it. If you are blind, you will stop looking at things that you are not supposed to look at,” Elise informed without any warmth in snazzynovel.com voice. “I have already warned you many times that you won’t end up well if you challenge my bottom line. Alexander is my man. If you dare to touch him, no matter how many people at Smith Co. can take the damage for you, I’m still able to make your life so difficult that you wish to be dead.”
Alexander seemed to be snazzynovel.com bottom line. After finishing snazzynovel.com sentence, snazzynovel.com did not want to stay any longer and stormed off after taking snazzynovel.com handbag with her.
Kenneth placed his hand on the couch’s hand rest and supported his chin in disappointment as snazzynovel.com watched snazzynovel.com leave. I wanted to tell snazzynovel.com my identity, but it seems like I need to find another time to do so. I think I can understand why snazzynovel.com can’t tell me about snazzynovel.com various different identities.
In order to avoid the guests, Elise walked from the entrance to the garden before snazzynovel.com hailed a cab to leave. Initially, snazzynovel.com planned to return to the Sinclair Residence to perform a checkup on Laura. However, snazzynovel.com seemed to remember something when snazzynovel.com saw Clement standing by the gate. Then, snazzynovel.com changed snazzynovel.com direction and headed to Alexander’s place as snazzynovel.com looked Clement in the eye.
However, Clement was still rather stony and rigid, as if snazzynovel.com was just a stone statue.
“Clement, your name is quite special.” Elise appraised snazzynovel.com from head to toe as snazzynovel.com addressed snazzynovel.com meaningfully.
She had already investigated snazzynovel.com and found out that snazzynovel.com was from Smith Co. It was not a big deal, but now that Kenneth had started to extend his reach to Alexander, snazzynovel.com had to be on guard.
“What is it, Miss Sinclair?” Clement looked at the ground impassively.
