Chapter 243
\nA Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 243<\/p>\n
“Then thanks to your lucky words.” Lily adjusts her feeling and smiles confidently, “We have worked hard for the bid. Winning the bid is a recognition of our company.”<\/p>\n
“Miss Lily is really beautiful, capable, and so tempting.”<\/p>\n
“Thank you.”<\/p>\n
Lily does not want to chat with him. The bidding is about to begin. She wants to walk away tactfully but does not expect Jonathan to block the way.<\/p>\n
He bends over slightly with a perfect smile on his face. His voice is soft and deep, “Miss Lily, there is a present for you. I hope you will like it.”<\/p>\n
Lily trembles for no reason. By the time she regains her senses, he has long gone away.<\/p>\n
She frowns.<\/p>\n
The man makes her feel very uncomfortable.<\/p>\n
At ten o’clock, the bidding begins.<\/p>\n
All famous companies want to win the project. The competition is intense. Not only Lily is there, other companies have also sent women leaders, valiant and powerful.<\/p>\n
Lily is not confident at the beginning. After she has people from the Smith Group, as well as the outstanding tenders, she believes the winner would definitely theirs.<\/p>\n
After two-hour encouraged competition, the bid finally belongs to the HZ Group. Others congratulate them and hand their business cards to Lily.<\/p>\n
Lily keeps a polite smile until after it ends. She is so exhausted and asks a colleague to drive her home.<\/p>\n
She can’t wait to tell Louis the good news.<\/p>\n
“Thank you, President Smith, for you generosity. The bidding is over perfectly. The HZ Group won!”<\/p>\n
“Your poor company…”<\/p>\n
“President Smith, even you helped me, pleased be polite. Our company is also one of the best in the industry, okay? The market value is high!”<\/p>\n
“Alright. Congratulations, Miss Lily. Your efforts have paid off.”<\/p>\n
“Can you give David half a day off? I’d like to treat him to dinner and thank him.”<\/p>\n
“Shouldn’t you treat me?”<\/p>\n
“Didn’t I cook for you last week? Brazen guy! If isn’t for David’s data and patient help, I wouldn’t have improved so much. That\u2019s what I should do.”<\/p>\n
Louis is very unhappy.<\/p>\n
He has always been the one to help her, okay?<\/p>\n
“President Smith.”<\/p>\n
David comes in by chance. He doesn’t notice Louis’ bad expression. He puts a few documents on the table and says happily, “President Smith, I’m taking Elizabeth to a cat party this afternoon. Your schedule has already been arranged well. I want to leave at two, okay?”<\/p>\n
“I’m afraid not,” Louis refuses.<\/p>\n
David is confused, “Why? Is there anything wrong?”<\/p>\n
“There’s something wrong with a food factory in Hanchi Branch. Go and check.” Louis says coldly, “By the way. Bring back their financial statements for the last quarter.”<\/p>\n
“President Smith, I’m a special assistant, not the one from the Finance Department….”<\/p>\n
“I know.” Louis interrupts him and says in a nonnegotiable tone, “Ask the secretary to book your ticket. Go there as soon as possible.”<\/p>\n
David wants to cry. He doesn’t make any mistakes. Why his boss treats him like this? He is about to leave sadly.<\/p>\n
Louis stops him and hands him a paper with words.<\/p>\n
“Then I followed his footsteps and found that the ring is one of a three-piece set. It came from an Italian jewelry shop 25 years ago. I sent someone to Italy and learned something from the designer.”<\/p>\n
“The designer said it was a young man who was getting married and wanted to make a set of jewelry for his wife, using the gemstones from the auction.”<\/p>\n
Leigh hands another photo.<\/p>\n
The picture is old and blurry. He could vaguely tell that it is a young man and woman. When he looks more carefully, his eyes suddenly widen.<\/p>\n
“The designer took a picture for them and wanted to give them when it was developed, but the man never came again.”<\/p>\n
Seeing Louis’ calm expression, Leigh feels more depressed.<\/p>\n
“Where are they?” Louis asks.<\/p>\n
“Dead. They were staff of a research institute. I don’t know what exactly their jobs were. We can’t find any information but their names.”<\/p>\n
“What are their names?”<\/p>\n
“Armand Smith, Ashley Bray.”<\/p>\n
Louis stares at the photo and doesn’t ask any more questions.<\/p>\n
“Louis, maybe it’s just a coincidence.” Leigh knows what he is thinking. “I didn’t find any connection between Armand Smith and the Smiths, Master Smith.”<\/p>\n
“Does anyone else know about this?”<\/p>\n
Leigh shakes his head. “No, I came over when I got the photo. Even Daniel doesn’t know.”<\/p>\n
“Don’t tell him.” Louis takes a book and puts them inside. Then, he puts the book into the drawer. “There’s no need to continue investigating it.”<\/p>\n
“Do you want me to retrieve this ring?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2180","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
