Chapter 60 Helping the Father–in–Law
Eric said, “I simply can’t stand that scumbag ”
Was that really the case?
I didn’t think so, but he didn’t want to elaborate, so I didn’t press further. Regardless, the situation was currently in my favor. As long as Jeremiah paid for his actions, what did it matter what kind of gridge Eric held against him?
“By the way.” Eric suddenly spoke again and handed me my phone, which I had dropped earlier.
At the same time, he pulled out his phone. After a few quick taps, I received an email. “This is a project that was previously a collaboration between Flint Group and Comell Group. After careful thought, I’ve decided to hand it over to Brown Group
“If you’re willing, you can communicate this to your parents on my behalf. I’ll have someone deliver the contract soon.‘
I was stunned, and my eyes were wide in disbelief. “Are you really going to cooperate with us?”
Eric leaned in closer, his obsidian–like eyes locking onto mine with a hint of a smile crossing his face.
“You and I almost got married, so if I don’t give the project to my father–in–law’s company, who else would I give it to?”
I could tell he was teasing me, and my face immediately flushed. I quickly stepped back and put some distance between us.
“Just speak properly. Why make things sound so ambiguous? But don’t worry, I’ll talk to my parents about it.”
With this collaboration, Brown Group’s development would surely be taloon to new heights.
Il over the
After Eric left, I made sure to post the video of Jeremiah harassing me online. That night, the scandal exploded, and Jeremiah’s actions were all over the news. The Cornell family called me several times, but I didn’t answer any of their calls.
Though the Comell family had been kind to me over the years, Jeremiah was still their precious son, and I had no reason to back down when I knew I was in the right.
When my parents found out about the incident, they were livid, “I can’t believe Jeremiah is so shameless. How dare he lay a hand on you? If we had known, we never would’ve let you marry him!”
“Fae, finalize the divorce as soon as possible. The Brown and the Cornell families should have nothing to do with each other from now on!”
A warm feeling surged through me. From my previous life to this one, the only people who supported me unconditionally were probably my parents. I then repeated what Eric had said verbatim.
After hearing this, they were equally surprised. “I didn’t expect Eric to be so thoughtful. Since he’s willing to cooperate with Brown Group, your dad can just sign it once the contract arrives!”
I smiled and sat down next to Dad. “Aside from Eric’s matter, there’s another thing I want to discuss with you, Dad. There are a few shares I’ve been looking at. They’re showing signs of a big rise. Dad, why don’t you and I invest in them together?”
Dad gave me a look, his hesitation clear in his eyes. “Jae, didn’t you want to start your own business? When did you start caring about shares?” Lawlowardly scratched my nose.
I couldn’t exactly say that I knew which shares would rise sharply and help us make millions if we bought them due to what I learned from my past lite, right?
“Dad, trust me. If you invest, you’ll definitely make money. If you’re really unsure, you can start with a small investment. Once we break even, you’ll know if I’m telling the truth or not”
I kept persuading him. After all, such a good opportunity to make money couldn’t be missed.
Mom and Dad exchanged a glance,
Mom patted his shoulder, saying, “Since Jae is so keen, why not invest a little?”
Dad sighed but eventually agreed and invested a few million dollars.
Just then, I noticed a figure sneaking into the living room.
