Chapter 191 An Unromantic Sister-in-law
Whether her brother agreed to cooperate with the Grant family or not, the Jovano family would fight for this business with Empire Y.
For many years, the Grant family and the Jovano family had always been the two most powerful families in Tempe City, one based in the south and one in the north.
The impact of this business was profound. If any family won the business alone, the situation in which the two families were evenly matched in Tempe City would be changed.
Hellen drove back to her home.
After greeting her mother, she went back to the bedroom to take a shower and change into a set of loungewear.
Everet hadn’t come home from work. Hellen turned on her computer and searched for information about that duke on the Internet.
She didn’t get much information, so she logged into the forum of Green Mansion.
The group chat was quiet as Hellen typed on the keyboard.
Mud Crab, [Recently Duke Wilson of Empire Y is coming to Tempe City. @Orpheus, help me investigate his specific purpose, his experiences, preferences, and all his information.]
After Hellen sent the message, she logged into another medical website to check her previous post.
She wanted to gather a group of elites who could study Everet’s illness and find a solution.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Fortunately, Professor Harlana was so famous that her post received a lot of replies.
Hellen opened the forum mailbox and saw that many medical majors had sent resumes to her.
Hellen did not intend to gather a lot of people. She scrolled through the resumes but found only one pretty good assistant. Then, she sent this person an e-mail back.
As for the rest of the people, she rejected all of them tactfully after expressing thanks in emails.
Then she clicked open the forum of Green Mansion.
Orpheus had already replied.
Orpheus, [Does this duke have time to visit Tempe City?]
Heartless Hooligan, [I know Duke Wilson. He is a well-known hen-pecked husband in Empire Y.]
Hellen smiled.
She replied, [How did you know?]
Heartless Hooligan, [Everyone in Empire Y is aware of that. Duke Wilson is a relative of the royal family and can be considered the cousin of the first prince. He can’t be any closer to the prince than anyone can be. In addition, Duke Wilson had an outstanding appearance when he was young. He used to be the dream lover of all girls in Empire Y.]
Orpheus, [Don’t spread gossip.]
Heartless Hooligan, [How is this gossip, Orpheus, are you jealous of my information?]
Orpheus, [Funny!]
Heartless Hooligan, [What’s so funny? Where are you now, Jena City? Wait for me! I will kill you soon!]
They were chatting in the group chat.
Orpheus sent a compressed file into the group chat and Hellen immediately downloaded it.
There was a lot of information in the file bag, all about Duke Wilson.
As Hellen watched them chatting in the group chat, she was also carefully reading the files.
Heartless Hooligan was right. This duke was recognized as someone important in Empire Y. He was 48 years old this year.
But judging from the photo, he was only about 38 or 39 years old.
Duke Wilson had a wife, who came from a famous family in Empire Y, and a 19-year-old son.
Hellen looked at the photo of Duke Wilson’s son. He was outstanding in appearance. The dukedom of Empire Y was hereditary. So, this person was also very noble.
Hellen looked at the group chat. Orpheus and Heartless Hooligan were still arguing.
Tisch: [Mud Crab, why are you interested in Duke Wilson? Are you in danger?]
Hellen bursts out laughing. Tiffany has been on vacation recently.
Mud Crab, [No, you should rest for a few days.]
After Hellen sent the message, she no longer paid attention to the ‘battle’ within the group chat. She sent Duke Wilson’s profile to her phone and looked at it seriously.
The story of Duke Wilson and his wife was like a romantic fairy tale.
Since Wilson loved his wife so much, Hellen memorized his wife and son’s preferences.
From hobbies to a favorite food.
Hellen went downstairs after she finished reading the files.
Everet just arrived home and was sitting in the living room talking to Joanna.
“Duke Wilson’s purpose in coming here must have been…”
Hellen approached them and raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard her brother, “You also know this business with Empire Y?”
He should have known. If Hans got the news but the Jovanos knew nothing, she would be worried instead.
Hellen sat on the sofa and told them about Hans’ request for cooperation.
Everet frowned with a hesitant look on his face.
“If the rumors are true, he came here for the business of those diamond mines, and whoever cooperates with him alone will be targeted by the other party, so that neither family will have a good result,” Joanna said.
“Yes, in fact, I think that cooperation with the Grant Group is the best way out,” Hellen added, “Although we have been rivals for many years, we can see from this cooperation on the Weststadt District project that the Grants are not unscrupulous. They can be regarded as qualified partners.”
After that, she saw her mother and brother looking at her.
Hellen felt a strange sense of guilt, “What is it?”
Everet was very worried. In his heart, his family ranked higher than the Jovano Group.
“Have you been getting too close to Hans lately?” Everet asked suspiciously.
Hellen laughed. “I’m in charge of the reconstruction of the Weststadt District. Isn’t it normal for us to get closer? Don’t you need to meet partners?”
She quietly clenched her fists beside her.
Everet’s question made her feel guilty and nervous for no reason.
If her brother knew that not only was she close to Hans, but she had also kissed him…
Hellen coughed softly.
Fortunately, her mother was deep in thought. She frowned, “Everet, I suggest that you agree to cooperate with the Grant Group.”
“The situation at hand is that the two companies will become even stronger if we choose to cooperate. Something will surely happen if we fight for the deal alone. When that happens, even if one of us gains a partnership, a heavy price is inevitable.”
Joanna thought that two families should make money together.
Everet sighed, “I know cooperation is the best choice, but…”
However, Hans was like a thorn in the heart of the Jovanos. The Jovanos could let go of how he treated Hellen during that time, but they could not forgive him.
After the discussion, Hellen told Everet that she would be attending the seminar with Hans the day after tomorrow.
Joanna looked at her belly worriedly, “You’re seven months pregnant, but you still have to go on a business trip.”
Hellen chuckled, “It’s all right. I’ve had a pregnancy check-up a while ago. The baby is particularly healthy.”
After negotiating with her family, Hellen went back to her bedroom and sent a message to Hans.
Hellen, [My brother agreed.]
Hans, “OK.”
After a while, Hans replied with a cute emoji, which did not fit his usual cool style.
Hellen thought about it and sent the files about Duke Wilson that Orpheus gave her to Hans.
Hellen, [This is the information about Duke Wilson and his family. I’ve memorized some of it. Take a look.]
Doing business required knowing each other’s preferences.
After a moment of silence, Hans replied with an emoji of a little bear rolling around.
The furry little bear rolled on the ground and hugged one of its legs. Its eyes sparkled as it said, “Thank you.”
Hellen sent him a question mark.
Hans, [What’s wrong? Hellen.]
Hellen held her forehead, [Did your account get hacked?]
In the Grant’s, Hans read Hellen’s message and looked up at Taylor-a self-nominated wingman.
Taylor waved her hand.
Why didn’t her sister-in-law get her?
This emoji was so cute!
