Chapter 111
It was long after the appointed time and Rufus didn't come. Orlando called Rufus's assistant.
"What?" Orlando was angry, but he didn't lose his temper on the phone.
He hung up the phone and looked at Arya. "He won't come because of another company."
Orlando almost dropped his phone. "What the hell is going on? What's the S&H Inc?"
Selena was also puzzled. "We didn't investigate the S&H Inc before. Why did it suddenly appear? And
why can its boss meet Mr. Gates first?"
This company didn't appear until they dated Rufus, obviously in order to stop them from meeting Rufus.
'Is it a coincidence or a conspiracy?'
"Do they want to bid by cooperating with the S&H Inc?" Orlando could only think of this reason.
Arya looked at Orlando. "No matter whether it's a coincidence, we have to figure it out."
Orlando nodded. Otherwise, he would not be willing to give up what he made great efforts to get.
Orlando called Rufus's assistant and asked where they were.
Rufus's assistant was bribed by Orlando, so he told him.
It seemed that the boss of the S&H Inc knew Rufus well and met him in the Dark Night Bar, where all
kinds of services were provided. Orlando went in for information. And Arya waited for him outside.
Arya parked the car in a covert place in order not to attract attention.
Another car was parked not far away from the roadside. No one got off. Due to the light of the passing
cars, Arya could see the car clearly. 'It's Jacob's. Why is he here?'
Arya was confused, but she didn't look for him.
She didn't know if it was going well. Orlando didn't come out. Arya didn't dare to call him because she
was afraid of causing trouble for him.
A few hours later, a man came out, followed by Orlando. He got into the car and told Arya, "It's him. He
met Rufus first. I heard from Rufus's assistant that they have agreed on the cooperation…"
Of course, Arya saw the man get into Jacob's car. 'What's the relationship between him and Jacob?'
Arya did not understand why the Jones Group needed to cooperate with the XWX Group. They were
powerful.
'Is there a plot?'
Arya asked Orlando to wait for her in the car. And then she got out of the car and walked towards
Jacob's car. Jacob was about to leave. Arya stood in front of the car to stop him.
Jacob was not surprised to see her. In fact, when Arya found him, he saw Arya too.
He didn't take the initiative to greet her. He was waiting for her to come to him.
Jacob was so competent, so Orlando wouldn't have found anything about him if he hadn't wanted him
to know it.
The reason why he did this was to inform Arya.
He didn't understand why Xavier didn't let Arya know it after helping her.
Jacob felt wronged for Xavier.
So he decided to let Arya know it by herself.
He pretended to be surprised and asked, "What's wrong, Miss Harrison?"
"Can I have a few words with you alone?"
Jacob said, "We have nothing to say."
All of a sudden, he changed the topic and looked at Arya sharply, "It seems that you have nothing to do
with my boss, right? What else can we say?"
Jacob was discontented with Arya and felt that she was sorry for Xavier.
Over the past years spent with Xavier, he had never seen Xavier treat any woman so well as her. But
she was a woman of no self-respect.
She was infamous and had a child. It was disgusting.
Suddenly, Jacob didn't want to tell her. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
'Will she be complacent if she knows it? She has treated Xavier so badly, but he's still so good to her.'
Arya pretended not to understand what he was saying. She glanced at the person next to him and
asked directly, "Why did you sabotage my meeting with Mr. Gates? What's your purpose? I don't think
the Jones Group needs to cooperate with them."
Arya believed that Xavier wouldn't care about the cooperation. But why did Jacob do it?
Without Xavier's permission, Jacob didn't dare to do it.
"I'm sorry. I can't tell you!" Jacob honked the horn. "Please don't get in my way."
It seemed that Jacob didn't intend to say anything at all, and Arya could only step aside.

Even when she was eating cookies made by Ryan at home, she was absent-minded and thinking of
this thing.
"What are you thinking? Are you going to eat the mold?" Ryan saw that Arya was holding the mold of
bear biscuits.
Arya came to her senses. She looked at the mold and laughed.
"Today a man…"
"Ryan, stay here. I'll make a phone call." Arya decided to figure out why Jacob did it.
She called Orlando and asked him to investigate Rufus and the S&H Inc.
But he found nothing. The S&H Inc. was mysterious. It was powerful but very low-key.
And he couldn't find anything about Rufus, either.
But Xavier knew what the Gates Family did, though it was hard for the public to find it.
If anyone could find what illegal things Rufus had done, the Gates Family would have been ruined.
Orlando was unwilling to give up.
Selena was also depressed. "Is the S&H Inc deliberately against us? The case was passed by the
board of directors. If we fail, they will nag!"
Orlando looked up at Arya and said, "We didn't offend anyone, did we? I think no one will be against
us."
Arya was stunned. 'It seems that I have offended Xavier. Is it because of him?'
She felt it was possible. After all, Jacob appeared there.
And he was close to Xavier.
Arya pressed her brows and saw that Selena and Orlando were in distress. She took a deep breath
and said, "Leave it to me. Maybe I can figure it out."
"Do you have a solution…" Selena was curious.
Orlando deliberately interrupted her. "Go to my office with me. I have something to ask you."
Arya sat in the office alone for a long time. Then she drove to the Jones Group to see Xavier.
Her company couldn't lose this opportunity because of her personal affair. And she couldn't make what
Orlando and Selena had done in vain.
