The Runaway Groom

Chapter 319

It was not going to be a typical day, as Light Group was prepared to invest their first batch of capital in

Eastdawn!

The initial investment was 80 million-an amount that Light Group could still afford at the moment.

After the transfer, lan Jefferson and James Cross shook hands.

“Here’s to a beautiful partnership. Let’s take our respective companies to new heights-may your component be unveiled to the world soon.”

James chuckled. “For sure. Once it hits the market, you shall be the biggest winner!”

lan laughed heartily-certainly, with Eastdawn’s development already in the final stage and the money- burning phases now almost over, investing in them now was basically getting a cut of the profits for free!

There was no question he had won big here.

James sighed in front of him just then. “Well, things are going to get awkward with my old friends now that we chose you.”

Ian smiled and patted him on the back. “I’ll be your friend from now on.”

“Indeed.” James was watching him with a twinkle in his eye.

It was almost eerie, but lan did not care since he was too busy basking in the delight of securing the partnership.

He is convinced that this investment was an assured success, and the profits would soon come rolling in.

As he is in a good mood, he could afford to take a break to visit Robin Lynd.

Nonetheless, she was not about to be nice since he only came to see her after a long while.

“I thought you’d already forgotten about me.”

“You know I’m busy after taking over Light Group,” Ian said, snaking his hands around her. “Are you upset? Fine-just tell me what you want. I can buy it for you.”

“I don’t want a thing-I’m happy just being with you.” Robin leaned into his arms.

She was genuinely in love with him.

“By the way, my mom has accepted you now. She even told me to bring you home for dinner before,” lan told her.

“Really?” Robin exclaimed chipperly.

“Of course. Why would I lie?” lan said. “How about tonight?”

“Oh, but I’m not prepared at all…” Robin was suddenly nervous. “I can’t go empty-handed, can I? I should at least bring something.”

“They don’t need anything anyway.” lan countered.

“That won’t do. Going empty-handed is really impolite.”

Robin really cared about making an impression, so lan had to play along. “Alright. Let’s go get something now, shall we?”

Robin nodded, and they drove to a large mali.

Quincy was a fan of gems but also picky, and since Robin did not actually have much money, it was lan. himself paying for the gift.

It took a long while for them to find the right gift, and when they stepped out, lan saw a car he recognized.

It belonged to his father Greg, but just as he was about to go up and greet him, a woman carrying shopping bags of various sizes walked past him and headed straight inside.

lan froze.

Who was that woman? Why was she getting into his father’s car?

“Wait here,” he growled, letting go of Robin’s hand just then and heading straight to the car. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

He opened the door to find the woman was with Greg, and glowered right then. “Dad, who is she? Why is she in your car?!”

Greg was surprised that lan caught him, but warned, “Pretend you saw nothing. And don’t tell your mom.” lan was left bristling right then!
