Chapter 117: Adding Another Fire
Lexie clenched her fist, her eyes like a pool of stagnant water, unperturbed.
“Does staying by my side make you so reluctant and ungrateful?”
Alan suddenly remembered the wedding night, when he first saw her, she was so soft and quiet, a pair of eyes innocent and kind.
Extreme hatred and pity tangled, and finally grew the idea of keeping her forever captive.
Lexie clenched her fists and didn’t say a word.
Myles’ death is a dead end in her mind, even if Alan didn’t kill him, he broke one of Myles’ legs and indirectly caused his death.
She couldn’t forgive the man in front of her, but of course, he probably didn’t even need her forgiveness.
“Get out.”
After the three concise words fell, Lexie did not hesitate to turn around and leave.
‘Click’ the sound of the door closing echoed through the study.
The lighter hit several times, smoke curled up behind the desk, blurring the man’s cold, gloomy face, and his brow furrowed fiercely.
A week later, the Mitchell Group’s pharmaceutical products destined for overseas were investigated at a special airline shipment, revealing problems with the quality of the drugs and instantly causing a furore in the news and public opinion.
A large group of agents appeared at the door of the Mitchell Group to demand a refund and payment of breach of contract.
“Lexie, you have to help Dad this time, if Alan doesn’t help, these agents will make a scene and the Mitchell Group will be finished.”
Lexie poured a cup of tea and handed it to Peter.
You don’t want to be in a hurry, no one wants such a thing, aren’t you familiar with the people of the Drug Administration?
“Now if these public opinions are not resolved, who dares to help? What’s missing is not people, it’s money!”
Peter was so anxious that he was sweating, and this time it was even worse than last time.
“Lexie, you are now the majority shareholder of the group, you have the responsibility and obligation to help solve the problem, otherwise this is not good for you either!”
[Are you threatening me?
Hearing this, Peter’s face stiffened, “I … didn’t mean that.”
Lexie turns around and pulls a file out of the cabinet.
“What is this?”
The solution to the problem, after the accident I have thought about it first, depending on whether you are willing to do it or not.
After opening the file and turning a few pages, Peter’s face gradually stiffened.
“You want me to cede the land in the southern suburbs of J City? Is that what you want or what Alan wants?”
[I’m not that capable of making you ask for Alan’s help without cutting any meat at all.
Lexie looked pale, [By the way, isn’t Edith also in the Howard Group? If you think I can’t help, you can look her up, maybe she can talk better than me.
Peter’s face sank.
If Edith could really talk to Alan, why would he come here to find Lexie?
That Alan, clearly is coaxing her, spend some money to buy her some gifts only, this girl can not see through herself.
“I’ll take it back and think about it.”
[Okay, then you take care.
Lexie rang the bell at hand and the secretary quickly opened the door from outside and escorted Peter out.
When he left, Lexie sat down and on her phone was a message from Alan.
“Did he say yes?”
“Not yet, but it should be a yes.”
“Then add more fire.”
Looking at the text message content, Lexie slowly clutched her phone.
Shares of the Mitchell Group plunged before the market closed on Friday, falling at one point.
the Mitchell family.
Peter slammed the contract on the table, “This is trying to push me to the edge.”
Edith hastened to persuade, “Dad, you take a sip of tea to calm down, I have already told you, this Lexie can’t be trusted, she is now doing everything to please Alan.”
“Eating inside out!”
Thinking about this period of time, Lexie step by step to the current position, even he had to look at her face to act, Peter felt that he had been played, almost a breath of air can not come up.
“Dad, don’t worry, I’ll find a way to get Lexie out of the Howard Group.”
“No need for you.” Peter clenched his fist, an old face wrinkled, the corners of his eyes twitching slightly, “It’s also time to show her that staying around Alan is not such an easy thing to do.”
“Dad, what do you want to do?”
Peter made a call out, “Tim, have someone go to Laoshan and pick up someone.”
J City South Suburb.
After signing the land transfer agreement with Peter, Alan and Lexie went to the southern suburbs together.
Jack pointed to a distant piece and said, “According to the plan, that piece was originally to build a hot spring resort, but we can reduce the scope of the resort and repair the resort hotel, and this large piece of land is very suitable for a golf course.”
Alan nodded and glanced at Lexie, “What’s your opinion?”
Lexie froze for a moment and said with a straight face, [I think if we simply build a golf course, it won’t be competitive with the golf course in the western suburbs. Nowadays, people like to be quiet, and this is very close to the temple, so we can actually consider incorporating Buddhist elements to make a mountain resort.
The morning bell and the evening drum, the mountain does not know that the years are deep.
It is close to Elephant Hill, and the sound of monks ringing bells can be clearly heard from the hill.
Alan was thoughtful.
“Alan!”
Lydia trotted over from the distance and took Alan’s arm, saying gleefully, “I saw the horses over there, is there going to be a horse farm here?”
“You want a horse farm to be built here?”
“Yes, in that case, you can come over and ride horses. How big is this place? If it’s finished, it must be the biggest horse farm in J City!”
Alan gave Jack a look and instructed, “Go do it.”
Jack was stunned, looked at Lydia in dismay, then looked at Lexie, finally swallowed what he wanted to say, and sighed silently in his heart.
Lexie pursed her lips, a little bitterness in her throat.
If you don’t intend to take her advice, why ask her?
Lydia was not aware of the previous conversation, once she heard that a horse farm could be built, she cheered happily, “Come on, let’s go see the horses over there, it’s still early, let’s go riding!”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Alan was dragged far away by Lydia.
Lexie stood in place, or Jack took two steps and called back to her, “Ma’am, let’s go check it out together.”
[Hmm.]
“In fact, the final may not build a horse farm, here to build a horse farm, the investment is large return is small, the degree of risk is very high, the final feasibility program out, nine out of ten is Mrs. You said the program can be better implemented.”
[I just mentioned it casually, none of this has anything to do with me.
Lexie’s face was unfazed as she followed the two joking figures in front of her towards the stables.
Jack followed up, “Ma’am, have you ever ridden a horse?”
Lexie shakes her head.
“Then pick a tamer one for you later, so that you don’t have an accident.”
