Luna glanced at the poker–faced Lucy and Matthew triumphantly, relieved that Timothy had spoken up for her. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Then, she turned her attention to Timothy and affectionately looked at him. “Tim, who are you taking me to meet?”
Timothy patted Luna’s head lovingly. “I’m taking you out with me for business. When you get home, change into the dress I bought you. We’re meeting someone very important to discuss the investment issue–the CEO of Leon Corporation.”
Luna covered her mouth in shock. “Leon Corporation? That’s the richest and most influential multinational conglomerate!”
Timothy nodded. “Let’s go.”
“Wait a minute. There’s no need for you to go.” Matthew nonchalantly stopped Luna and Timothy.
Timothy turned his head with annoyance. “What is it now, pretty boy?”
Matthew calmly said to Timothy, “You don’t have to go there. Leon Corporation will never invest in Lucas Corporation.
“Not to mention, from today onward, Lucas Corporation will be blacklisted by Leon Corporation.”
Timothy looked him up and down disdainfully. “Who are you to say. that?”
Matthew stared at Timothy while he took out his phone from his pocket to make a call.
The call immediately went through, and Matthew gave instructions right away.
“Cancel any scheduled appointments we have with Lucas Corporation.
today.
“Add Lucas Corporation to the company’s blacklist and sever all ties. with them immediately.”
Matthew hung up the phone while Timothy gaped at him.
Before Timothy could say a word, his phone rang..
An ominous feeling was growing inside him.
Timothy answered the phone, and his secretary’s anxious voice came from the other end. “Mr. Timothy, things are not looking good. The CEO of Leon Corporation canceled our appointment.
“Not only that, but all projects we have with Leon Corporation have been unilaterally terminated by them!”
Timothy felt his world go dark. Trembling, he asked his secretary, What did you just say?”
Just as his secretary was about to repeat, Timothy interrupted, “You don’t have to tell me that again. Just tell me how much our share price has dropped.”
A voice that sounded like the Grim Reaper came through the phone. Mr. Timothy, our shares have hit the limit down. I just heard from the HR department that many directors are planning to sell their shares.”
Timothy hung up the phone in utter despair.
He looked at the icy–cold Matthew, and for the first time, he felt hopeless.
It turned out that he was the CEO of Leon Corporation–the richest
man in the world.
Not only did Timothy just call him a pretty boy, but he also called him
a kept man earlier. It was over for him…
Luna was close to Timothy, so she heard everything from Timothy’s phone call.
She looked at Lucy with jealousy and resentment. Why did she always get to have nice things? How did Lucy manage to hook up with the richest man in the world after she stole her boyfriend?
How could she stoop to such tactics for revenge, asking her rich husband to cut off Timothy’s source of income? How vile!
