A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 224: My Woman Can Do What She Wants Wherever and Whenever!

Lily looks in disbelief at their argument and realizes that the situation isn’t as what she thinks.

Lily hands a paper napkin to Jessie, “Why was your breakup so intense?”

“Don’t you know how despicable he is?” Jessie cries until her glasses fog up and she takes it off to

wipe. She says as she weeps, “To think that he uploaded those types of videos onto the internet. He…

he… I’m a woman. What if those videos were seen by people who know me?”

Lily knows what she is referring to and she understands why Lily is so angry, “This is too much…”

She gives her opinion after some thoughts, “Although Leigh is flirtatious, he isn’t the type to do such

perverted things, otherwise he wouldn’t have come over to explain to you.

Jessie replies, “It happened where he lives. Who can it be if it wasn’t him?”

“Now it’s almost impossible to guard against those voyeurs.” Lily said, “Perhaps someone installed a

micro camera at Leigh’s house and he didn’t notice it and that’s how this happened.”

“I will never forgive him, regardless!” Jessie is determined, “He can look for anyone he likes.”

Lily scoffs.

Alas, she shouldn’t interfere too much with a couple’s problems.

Lily drives to send Jessie to the Smith Group. As soon as they reach the office, an assistant rushes

over, “President Lily, Mr. Alfred is looking for you.”

“Okay, I’ll go over immediately.”

Lily goes to the director’s office to see Mr. Alfred and after some pleasantries, Mr. Alfred gives her a

file. He smiles and says, “A high-speed rail station will be built at the Eastern District. We’re in the

bidding process now.”

“This is great.” Lily browses and closes the file. Her eyes glimmers, “If our company gets this program,

it will be very beneficial to our plans to expand overseas.”

“I want you to take charge of it.”

“Mr. Alfred, I don’t have experience in this area.” Lily is stunned and says, “I think you should hand it to

Mr. Lennon. With him, I’m sure we’ll be awarded this program.”

Mr. Alfred laughs, “He is excellent but so are you. Lily, you just came over from the Smith Group. If you

can secure this program, it will let you establish yourself firmly in this sector.”

Louis arranged for her to go over to him for her to have a decent platform for her to grow.

After some considerations, Lily agrees but she says, “Thanks for giving me this opportunity and I am

willing to try it out but this program is too big and if I were to feel that I’m overwhelmed, I would like you

to give it to Mr. Lennon‘s team. I’ll accept this if you are agreeable to this.”

“Okay, I will inform Mr. Lennon.” Mr. Alfred is very happy, “We’re all depending on you for the success

of this program.”

“Thanks, Mr. Alfred.”

After returning to the office, Lily immediately forms a team. This program is enormous and even when

she utilizes all the suitable staff it isn’t enough.

Mr. Alfred’s network is extensive and brings Lily out for dinner and introduces several friends to her.

After some discussions, Lily seconded six from the company to beef up her team and signs a non-

disclosure agreement with them.

Lily didn’t want to be a killjoy and drinks a couple of glasses of wine with the bosses but she informs

Jessie about her intentions before doing so.

She didn’t drink much but the wine is strong and she started to be tipsy.

Mr. Alfred’s friend sees her lean against Mr. Alfred and jokes, “Alfred, you really know how to spoil your

precious sweetheart.” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Stop your nonsense!” Mr. Alfred glares at him and it’s a good thing they are among friends, “I’m not

stupid enough to touch a person like her. She has a strong and influential background.”

Mr. Gerben says, “What background? Didn’t she simply work once at the Smith Group? I don’t believe

that she’s so capable. Who doesn’t know that the legal team and the public relations department is

renowned for their abilities? With such a good team, it’s immaterial if Louis is at the Smith Group.”

“Hush, stop your yapping.” Mr. Alfred refills his glass to stop him from speaking, “It’s the young people’s

world. Lily is great at handling her work and is very intelligent.”

Mr. Gerben laughs, “There are plenty of beautiful women but not necessarily intelligent.”

Mr. Alfred is afraid that Lily hears these words and he is trembling inside. Now he is only a regular

salary worker. HZ Group secretly became part of the Smith Group and had just signed a contract

without making it public.

Mr. Alfred says, “Watch what you say, she is President Smith’s woman.”

“Alfred, look at what you are saying, we didn’t bully her and only worry that she isn’t capable enough

and drag us down. If she is Louis’ woman, then he should just keep her by his side.”

“Yeah, the high-speed rail station at the Eastern District is enormous and you intend to let this woman

take charge of it? Aren’t you worried that she would be rejected from the bidding process?”

Mr. Alfred is getting a headache from all their naggings.

If it wasn’t for Louis’ instructions, he would never have asked these people out for dinner. He is only

concerned by what he needs to do and will not bother about what they say.

Mr. Alfred is about to ask for the waitress to come in when the door is opened. A tall man steps in

wearing a crimson red shirt and black trousers. His posture is relaxed but serious.

“Louis, President Louis?”

No one expected Louis to come and everyone hurries to their feet.

The Smith Group is a titan in the business world. What Louis did in these couple of months is highly

regarded by everyone.

Louis smiles calmly, “Please don’t be so formal. I was just discussing business at this restaurant and

heard that Mr. Alfred is here so I came over for a look.”

Mr. Alfred has a bad feeling about this.

Someone pours a glass of wine for Louis with a joyful expression eager to please and socialize with

him. Louis didn’t reject and finish the wine.

After drinking, he didn’t put the glass down and uses his finger to rub the glass and says, “The Smith

Group is flushed with money. If you don’t wish to continue running your companies, you can sell them

to me.”

“Mr. Gerben.” Just as everyone is reacting to the statement, he looks at Mr. Gerben, “I heard that your

investment resort at Yanking has reaped healthy returns these couple of years.”

Mr. Gerben laughs and his hand starts to tremble, “The accounts are done for show. The resort is

losing money and I still owe the bank some money.”

Louis laughs, “Since it is losing money, why don’t you sell it to me. I have too much money and don’t

know how to spend it.”

“Please don’t joke with me, President Louis.” Mr. Gerben’s expression starts to waiver, “How could that

resort interest you?”

“It’s possible.”

The atmosphere in the room becomes tense and at that moment a waitress comes in, “Mr. Alfred, what

would you like?”

“Please send President Lily home.” Mr. Alfred glances at Louis and says to the waitress, “It’s

inconvenient for us men to send her home.”

Louis says, “There is no need, Mr. Alfred.”

He walks over to Lily and prepares to carry her up. Lily is still conscious of what is happening and slaps

Louis. The crisp slap shocks everyone in the room.

She dares to slap Louis!

Louis’s expression darkens and says, “You can’t even hold your liquor. Sooner or later you’ll be sold

without your knowledge.”

Mr. Alfred, “…”

I’m innocent!

Louis struggles to carry Lily up and he glares sternly at everyone before he left, “My woman can do

whatever she wants wherever she wants. The Smith Group will back her. Everyone here better not play

games because I have a short temper. Perhaps when that day comes, I will not go easy on you

anymore.”
