Chapter 242: Jonathan Kerr
Chapter 242: Jonathan Kerr
"Your dog is quite different," says Lily. "It doesn't stick to its master."
Louis smiles, "Aren't you its master?"
It takes Lily a while to understand. She continues to cut vegetables, with her face uncontrollably
blushing.
She is busy in frying the fishes, so she teaches Louis how to make meatballs.
It is difficult for the first time. He can't shape it round, making Lily somewhat impatient.
"Rub it! Not pinch it!" Words fail her, "Rub it like this. Why are your hands so inflexible, while your
handwriting is so good?"
"They are different."
"Don't stop!" she shouts and patted on his head, "No dinner if you can't make it!"
"..."
Never talk back to a woman.
When they know that the meatballs were made by Louis and see his helpless expression, Chloe laughs
wildly, "Louis is actually weak in cooking! I'd die laughing!"
Then she prays laughably, "Please give Louis a daughter. It would be best if she is a devil in human
shape and tortures Louis to death!"
"Chloe." Louis frowns, "How dare you?"
Coffey says, "I'm her backup."
"Dinner first!" Lily is afraid that it will turn into a battlefield, "Stop talking. You guys are spraying the
dishes."
Louis pulls the dish in front of him closer.
After dinner, Lily kicks Louis to wash the dishes, while she follows Coffey to the courtyard.
"I found this." Coffey gives an envelope to Lily. "Twenty-five years ago, a jewelry shop in Italy received
a customer. He gave the shop an uncut sapphire, said that he was getting married and hoped that they
could make a set of jewelry for him."
"They made a three-piece set. And there was his wife's name abbreviation on the ring. The man is
Armand Smith and his wife is Ashley Bray."
Pausing for a moment, Coffey continues, "The information about their jobs was destroyed. I can't find
any clues and only know that he committed suicide. Also, I've seen the photos of them."
Lily smiles, "Is he very similar to Louis?"
Coffey nods.
Lily briefly tells him Louis' story.
"So that's what it is." No wonder Lily asks him to check the ring's background. "But it seems that you
want to know more."
"Do you have any clues about the necklace or earrings?"
"Earrings were auctioned in Boston ten years ago. They are now in the possession of a lady. As for the
necklace, I haven't found any clues."
"What a pity," Lily says regretfully.
Coffey has found a lot, but not the one she wants to know.
"Tell me what you want. I'll go for a try."
"No need." Lily smiles and shakes her head. She is not sure about it either. After all, there are not so
many coincidences. "Maybe I am thinking too much."
Coffey no longer asks more.
Chloe acts like in her own house. After dinner, she turns on the stereo and roars with the microphone,
causing Louis about to be deaf.
He couldn't stand it anymore and kicks them out.
Really annoying!
Lily is watching Rich eating. He walked over and teased, "Miss Lily, do you want to snatch food from
the dog?"
Lily ignores him.
He is a little puzzled. He squats down and finds that Lily is staring at the ground sadly. "What's wrong?
Is there anyone hard on you?"
"What?" Lily turns to look at him, as if she has just regained her senses.
Louis is both angry and wants to laugh, "You look like you want to cry. I ask if you were bullied."
"No." Lily wipes her face. "You are too stingy. There are so many genius in your company, but you
refuse to borrow me some."
Louis thinks that there is no one more generous than him.
He opens his notebook, logs in the company system and pushes it to her, "Pick the one you want."
Lily can't believe it, "Really? I can pick anyone I want? President Smith, you don't have any
conspiracies, do you?"
"Yes."
"What?" Lily holds her breath, "Expensive?"
Seeing that she is so nervous, Louis wants to tease her, "Well, I wonder if you can afford it."
"Our company is quite powerful."
"Do I look like I'm short of money?" He gets close to her, and the top two buttons of his shirt are
unbuttoned. He looks seductive, "You can pay in another way."
Her hand rests on his chest and the warmth makes her heart beats faster.
He is quite handsome.
"If President Smith wants, it's feasible." Lily barely stays awake and says hesitantly, "But Mr. Alfred is a
little fat. I'm afraid…."
Louis' face darkens and he loses his good mood. "Miss Lily, you're good."
"Need me to call him?"
"No, continue picking your persons!" Louis goes upstairs.
He'll be pissed off if he stays with her a little longer.
Lily is pleased.
After being bullied so many times, she finally strikes back!
...
Having the genius from the Smith Group, it is giant leap of the team. The tenders they make are
completely different from the previous ones, which could be models.
She couldn't help but sigh. It is undoubted that ninety percent of the talents are in the Smith Group.
On the D-day, they get to the venue.
It is a big project and there are many companies participating. Apart from the Smith Group, most of the
large companies in the industry send people over. It is very lively.
Lily has learned in the Smith Group for so long and represents the HZ Group to win this bid. She
behaves gracefully and confidently. Quite a few people come over and want to know her.
"Are you President Lily of the HZ Group?"
A tall man walks over. He has charming features, short golden hair and dark blue eyes.
A foreigner, but his Mandarin is quite good. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
"Hello, I'm Lily from the HZ Group." Lily doesn't know him. Out of courtesy, she shakes hands with him.
He gracefully smiles, "Jonathan Kerr. I just came to Country Z three months ago and bought a few
companies. I got the invitation and come for a look."
When he says, "I bought a few companies." His tone is as relaxed as he bought something not worth
mentioning at all. Lily doesn't know what to say for a moment.
Maybe it is like buying foods for rich people.
Lily gives a smile, "Mr. Jonathan is quite confident."
"I just came for a look." His meaningful gaze keeps focusing on Lily, "I guess that the HZ Group will
win."
Lily subconsciously frowns and feels uncomfortable.
The man is gentleman, elegant and charming, but his eyes make her tremble. She feels that she is
being stared at by a poisonous snake.
