Chapter 11 Mr. Andrew Arrives

Jennifer’s derogatory remarks with a B word stunned Jessica. Jennifer, who usually communicated with Brittany, had not had the chance to interact with Jessica before, so she did not recognize her. Feeling insulted, Jessica put down her burger and asked coldly, “Who are you?” “You, a cheap woman, dare to ask who I am? Fine then, let me tell you, I am Jennifer, the president of Zen Byte!” “The president of Zen Byte? You’re calling me a cheap woman?”

“If you’re eating with this loser, what else should I call you?” “Heh,” Jessica scoffed, choosing not to engage further with Jennifer. The press conference was about to start, and she needed to prepare. Before leaving, she turned to Daniel, “Daniel, you’ll decide the partner list for today.” After she departed, Jennifer laughed mockingly. “Loser, you and that cheap woman suit each other! All big words, who does she think she is, saying you can decide TMO’s partner list?” As Jennifer was speaking, her phone rang. The noise in the venue made her step outside to answer the call. Suddenly… The announcement on the large screen on the stage read: “Healthy Land Strategic Cooperation with ArmCorp.” “Signing Ceremony and Press Conference.” Reading these lines, everyone in the venue was perplexed. “ArmCorp? Shouldn’t it be TMO?” Suddenly, the venue was bustling with dozens of workers quickly laying out red carpet, tidying up the space, swapping the regular bottled water on seats with imported premium water, and replacing ordinary flower baskets on the stage with high-quality fresh flowers. Then, a group of stunning women in slit gowns, exuding charm and charisma, walked into the hall. They lined up on either side of the entrance, creating a strikingly beautiful scene. In unison, they bowed and greeted with sweet voices, “Welcome, Mr. Andrew!”

Andrew arrived, dressed in a custom Armani suit and looking every inch the business elite. Jessica stepped in front of him and demanded, “What are you doing here?” “Disrupting? I’m not causing any trouble. I’m here on behalf of ArmCorp to sign a strategic cooperation agreement with Healthy Land and to hold a joint press conference.” At his words, the room exploded with confusion and disbelief. “Wasn’t TMO supposed to achieve strategic cooperation with Healthy Land? How did it switch to ArmCorp?” “We signed with TMO to indirectly connect with The Grants through their influence, right?” “Now that The Grants are not cooperating with The Matthews, does that mean our investments so far are down the drain?” … The entire hall erupted in a cacophony of voices, and Jessica was left dumbfounded, unsure of what to do. That’s when Daniel stepped forward. “Everyone, please stay calm. Healthy Land will indeed sign with TMO.

If the final contract is with ArmCorp instead of TMO, we are prepared to pay ten times the indemnity to all partners.” “Who are you? Can you make such promises on behalf of TMO? Even if you could, do you have the authority?” Seeing Daniel offer such an outrageous condition, Andrew couldn’t help but laugh. “He’s Jessica’s assistant; he has full authority to represent her. So, if Healthy Land doesn’t sign with TMO but with ArmCorp that I represent, I assure you, hold TMO to get ten times the breach of contract payment!” With such a high indemnity, TMO would not just go bankrupt; The Matthews would be utterly ruined. Anxiously pacing like ants on a hot pan, Jessica had no other options. She had been calling Healthy Land’s contact but got no response. What was going on? Andrew leaned in close to Jessica’s ear and threatened, “Jessica, I’ll give you one last chance. Agree to marry me now, and I’ll ensure Healthy Land continues to sign with TMO. Otherwise, TMO will only face bankruptcy, and your family will be ruined!”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
