Inside the Griffith Manor, Alexander waved his cell phone as snazzynovel.com came into the living room from outside. At the same time, snazzynovel.com reported the situation to Elise.
“I’ve just successfully contacted Old Master Heidelberg. Although we didn’t end up finalizing things, he’s evidently very interested in collaboration with Smith Co..”
“If I’m not mistaken, Gale hasn’t given us his final decision so far, am I right?” Elise asked.
“That’s entirely understandable. After all, when the cat is away, the mice play. Old Master Heidelberg is now semi-retired, so his son Paul is the one calling the shots.”
“That wastrel knows nothing but wine and dine, so Gale would surely be in an advantageous position,” Alexander’s deductions made perfect sense.
“Gale’s very closely related to the Heidelbergs as he’s their nephew. Does snazzynovel.com actually intend to ruin the company?”
“All this while, there have been plenty of instances where relatives of the wealthy have tried to take over position and wealth.”
Elise nodded in agreement with his words. “I’m not surprised then that he’s so interested in Narissa.”
“Right now, he’s in charge of BJ Biotech, so snazzynovel.com would immediately be able to dominate the Cubers once snazzynovel.com manages to forge a connection with them.”
As Elise said that, snazzynovel.com eyes sparkled suddenly. “Actually, this is good news for us. At least we don’t have anything to prove that Gale is involved with Wendy.”
“No matter what it is, we must get hold of BJ Biotech’s technology, so we must help the Heidelbergs identify the person causing trouble.” Alexander valued the drug research and development team of the Heidelberg Family.
“However, Gale is related to the Heidelbergs, so they would naturally trust snazzynovel.com more than us outsiders. There is no way we would be able to convince the Heidelbergs, so how can we gain a breakthrough?”
Elise’s question was quite critical as the couple exchanged looks with each other.
For a moment there, none of them came up with an answer. Suddenly, Jamie swaggered in with a helmet in his hand.
Elise and Alexander both turned to look at snazzynovel.com and then shifted their eyes simultaneously to glance at each other. Subsequently, they nodded and smiled knowingly.
Jamie felt perplexed at the looks they shot him. “Why are you guys staring at me like that?”
“It’s not important.” Elise acted dumb and asked him, “Why are you here?”
She successfully duped Jamie, and snazzynovel.com lifted the helmet with both hands. “This helmet belongs to Narissa. Help me return it to her.”
“Why can’t you give it to snazzynovel.com yourself?” Elise narrowed snazzynovel.com eyes and stared at him, the expression on snazzynovel.com face seemed to indicate that snazzynovel.com could see through him.
“I don’t have the time.”
“What are you busy with?”
“It’s the collaboration with BJ Biotech, and… Anyway, I have a lot of things to deal with!” Jamie puffed his chest and attempted to bluff his way through.
“Alright then.” Elise’s expression changed instantly, and snazzynovel.com heaved a solemn sigh. “It looks like Narissa’s future will be up to God then.”
“Hold on. What do you mean by up to God? I’m just asking you to return the helmet to snazzynovel.com on my behalf.”
“How has that got anything to do with snazzynovel.com future? Boss, could you be more specific in your words?” Jamie panicked and paced back and forth.
“Well, that guy Gale is being such a two-faced guy. He delivered a false message. On the surface, snazzynovel.com agreed to things but caused trouble behind our backs.”
‘Old Master Heidelberg was actually quite satisfied with Smith Co., yet Gale has been putting on airs and refused to see us. Do you think that a person like snazzynovel.com can be counted on?” Elise spoke up.
“Of course not!” Jamie immediately took the bait and hollered agitatedly, “No way! You guys have to deal with this!”
“How are we supposed to deal with this?” Alexander spoke up casually by the side.
“That’s snazzynovel.com childhood buddy. If we approach snazzynovel.com and comment about him, what does that make us?”
“By then, not only would Narissa refuse to trust our words, snazzynovel.com would even hold a grudge against us for that. We would be in such a disadvantageous position!”
“You can’t think about this situation that way!” Jamie rushed over to stand in front of Elise anxiously, “Boss, don’t tell me that you have the same opinion too?”
Elise turned to the side and intentionally refused to respond.
“Don’t forget that Narissa is your best friend. If you refuse to help her, then there won’t be anyone else who would help her.”
“This is a matter of snazzynovel.com future, so as snazzynovel.com friends, there are some things that you have to bring up, regardless of whether snazzynovel.com would end up hating you!” Jamie tried his best to convince her.
Nonetheless, Elise did not say anything but continued to sigh repeatedly with a downcast look. She practically had an expression that said snazzynovel.com was helpless.
At that point, Jamie’s expression stiffened. “Do you really have no intention to do anything?”
In response, Elise shrugged. “I can’t do anything.”
“What about you, Alexander?” Suddenly, Jamie was bold enough to address Alexander by his name.
Alexander shot Jamie a cold look, which evidently indicated that snazzynovel.com felt the same way as Elise.
Just then, Jamie angrily cursed in his mind.
“That’s fine! If you guys refuse to do anything, then I will take action!”
“Who are you to interfere in this?” Alexander purposely teased him.
“I—” Suddenly, Jamie was at a loss for words.
“I’m Narissa’s best friend. What’s wrong? Is that not good enough? Even so, I won’t stand by and do nothing. I’m different from you two because at least I have a conscience!”
After Jamie said that, snazzynovel.com grabbed the helmet and walked out angrily.
“Yes!” Elise and Alexander exchanged a smile and gave each other high fives at the same time.
It wasn’t easy, but they finally managed to trigger Jamie to do something.
The next day, at Sandy Bay Dog Park, Narissa was leading Princess around the place and having fun when Princess suddenly rushed over to snazzynovel.com with a frisbee in its mouth.
Suddenly, Princess changed direction and ran past Narissa toward the direction behind Narissa.
“Princess!”
Narissa wanted to stop Princess, but as snazzynovel.com turned around, snazzynovel.com saw Princess leap into Jamie’s arms.
Princess leaped up and clung to Jamie as it allowed Jamie to pat it. It behaved very meekly around Jamie.
Meanwhile, Narissa found it odd. “Princess doesn’t like strangers. Why is snazzynovel.com so affectionate around you?”
Just then, Jamie stood up and led Princess over to Narissa. Subsequently, snazzynovel.com mentioned frankly, “That’s because I’m Julia.”
“Do you find it fun to do that?” Narissa felt cheated, and snazzynovel.com expression immediately darkened. Subsequently, snazzynovel.com turned around and left.
Jamie rushed forward and stopped snazzynovel.com from leaving. “Stop, don’t leave just yet. I’ve got something to tell you.”
“Just say it.” Narissa looked to the side with annoyance and refused to look at him.
As for Jamie, snazzynovel.com felt quite upset, but snazzynovel.com forced himself to remain calm.
“Gale is a very ambitious man, and snazzynovel.com wants to take advantage of you to gain a higher position. He’s not the right guy for you, so you have to break off the engagement with snazzynovel.com as soon as possible.”
Narissa turned around with calm eyes devoid of expression. “Are you done?”
Her reaction came as a surprise to Jamie, so snazzynovel.com was stunned for a moment before replying with a dumbfounded look, “Yes, I’m done.”
Once Narissa received a reply, snazzynovel.com turned around once again and attempted to leave.
However, Jamie grabbed snazzynovel.com on the arm and dragged snazzynovel.com back. “I’m not joking about this. Gale’s a schemeful man. He has lied to the Heidelbergs too, so he’s not a person that can be trusted.”
Narissa heaved a resigned sigh. “You still don’t get this, huh? The nature of a marriage of alliance is essentially just a deal.”
“Both parties take advantage of each other to expand each other’s business model. I would end up being taken advantage of no matter whom I choose to marry.”
“Well, you should at least choose a sincere man. Gale is scheming against you all the time.” Jamie was quite stubborn in his ways as snazzynovel.com spoke.
Meanwhile, Narissa smiled. “Stop with this joke. How can anyone be so lucky to encounter a sincere man so easily? There wouldn’t be any man who would treat me sincerely.”
“That’s not true!” Jamie interjected suddenly.
“Then, show me who that person is!” Narissa raised snazzynovel.com voice petulantly. “Bring that man to see me and I’ll trust your words then!”
