Chapter 1838
After the meeting, Gregory and Justin walked toward the entrance of the Salvador Corporation building, flanked by their secretaries and bodyguards.
Though related by blood, the father-son duo were more distant than strangers. They did not exchange a single word the entire time.
As they stepped outside, Gregory finally spoke in a commanding tone. "Join me on the private jet to South City. I have a golf appointment with Chairman Sinclair tomorrow morning and a business banquet in the afternoon. These events are crucial for our future projects in South City."
As Justin was about to speak, a sharp, clear honk interrupted him.
A majestic Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy stopped right in front of them.
Justin's eyes curved into a smile, his heart pounding.
Just then, the luxury car door swung open in front of Gregory. He could not see the person inside, but he heard a sweet and pleasant voice.
"Chairman Salvador, you wouldn't mind if I picked up Justin from work, right?"
As soon as Gregory recognized Bella's voice, his breath hitched.
Before he could respond, Justin had already eagerly slipped into the car without a word of farewell.
Once inside, he intertwined his fingers with the woman he had been longing for and kissed her soft hand.
His lips were gently caressing and nuzzling his beloved.
Gregory's face darkened with anger as he silently cursed, 'How shameless and disrespectful!'
"Sorry, Chairman Salvador." Justin wrapped his arm around Bella's slender waist and said calmly, "I'm afraid I won't be joining you in South City to play golf with Chairman Sinclair."
"Justin, don't forget about your position and responsibilities!"
Gregory's face turned icy with anger, his teeth gritting. "Our project in South City is crucial for the Salvador Corporation's future development in the southern coastal cities! You can date anytime, but this project is of paramount importance. How can you prioritize romance over the company's interests? You're becoming increasingly unfit for your role as CEO!"
"I've spent nearly five years propelling the Salvador Corporation to the top in Savrow, earning the title of the richest man in town. I did this so we could negotiate business deals confidently, not to waste time playing golf or attending boring banquets."
Justin gazed deeply into Bella's eyes and kissed her forehead tenderly. Then he spoke with a soft voice." I'd rather spend my time at home with my wife than waste it on such trivialities."
Gregory clenched his fists in fury. He felt a surge of anger rising in his throat.
Bella leaned gracefully from the car, glancing at Gregory. "Chairman Salvador, if you're going there to discuss the Night City commercial complex project with Chairman Sinclair of the Sinway Group, you don't need to make this trip."
Gregory frowned. "What do you mean?"
"Just three days ago, Chairman Sinclair agreed to co-develop the project with KS Group." Bella smiled radiantly. "There, I've saved you the cost of a private jet trip."Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
"What... How is that possible?!" Gregory was stunned.
Justin's expression remained calm. "Chairman Sinclair has a close personal relationship with Chairman Thompson. Besides, the Sinclair Group and KS Group have collaborated multiple times before. I was well aware of this from the beginning. It's just that you never believed me."
With those words, the car door closed. The Rolls-Royce sped away, leaving Gregory standing in a cloud of dust, stunned, and breathing in the exhaust fumes.
