Facade

Chapter 97 

Amelia felt ashamed of her blunder and lowered her head in embarrassment. 

Terence felt irritated and succumbed to smoking one cigar alter another until the office was shrouded in heavy smoke and the ashtray overflowed Amella coughed uncontrollably, and she opened the window to clear the alt. She urged Terence to smoke less, but her words fell on deaf ears. 

At that moment, a lock sounded on the office door, and Zyler entered 

“Dad, why are you smoking in here again?” 

He coughed, choking on the thick smok 

ཇི ཎ ཇ ཇ བྷ ཝཾ ཥ ཥ རྗ ཆ ཥ 

Terence extinguished his cigar 

“Zyler, how did it go?” 

and stood up. 

“Here. Have some water first before you tell us,” queenie offered him a glass. 

Zyler took a sip of water and said, “He refused to seeme” 

That night at Lucent Hotel, Adrian was also forced to leave after Lily was ousted. This left Adrian feeling embarrassed and furious, leading him to sever ties with the Bourne family. 

Zyler waited for two days, hoping to give him time to cool down before attempting another visit. However, Adrian still refused to meet him. 

“How could this be? Don’t people operating in the black market prioritize money above all? Terence questioned. 

Desperate times called for desperate measures. They wouldn’t choose to work with those in the black market unless the situation were dire 

“It was because….” Zyler recounted the incident at Luxent truthfully. 

Queenie’s expression darkened immediately. 

While those in the black market might prioritize money, they were also proud individuals who valued their pride above all else. 

It was no wonder Adrian was furious. He was kicked out by Luxent. It was alde to a slap in his face. 

But Queenie also gleaned a significant piece of information. Hera had hooked herself up to Donglas Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Heral It’s her again!” 

Queenie clenched her teeth in anger, 

A thought then crossed her mind, and shesneered, “A country bumpkin will always be a country bumpkin. She could do nothing else but pester Bernard’s personal assistant!” She wondered if Hera thought she could escape scrutiny by attaching herself to Beard’s assistant She felt that destroying Hera would be as effortless as crushing an ant 

Zyler felt a strange discomfort hearing her words. 

“With things getting to this point, we can only pay laven a hundred times the price, Terence concluded 

“Amelia, you handle it. It’s best if Raven solves our problem by tomorrow. The fools in our company won’t hold out much longer.” 

Despite all the trouble, not a single penny was saved, and they ended up offending others. Queenie was further disappointed in Amelia 

However, the thought of Raven’s power sparked another idea in her mind. 

“Give me Raven’s contact. I’ll handle this personally, “Quente demanded 

Amelia looked at Queenie in surprise. 

Amelia was the one who negotiated with Raven, securing the deal at a hundred times the original price. If she could finalize this deal, the credit would be hers, and the shareholders would regard ber more favorably. 

Tel, Queenie sought to take credit for her daughter’s achievement at this critical moment. 

*No “buts“. Isn’t my authority greater than yours?” 

Queenie glared at her. 

Amelia felt resentful but still complied. 

“Yes. I’ll send you the contact information right away.” 

Hera stayed with the Everetts over the National Day long weekend. 

On the first day back to school, Herafelt her phone constantly buzzing at the breakfast table. She glanced at in 

It was a message from Piglet saying, “Raven, the Gaskell family has agreed to pay a hundred times the price! However, this time, it was Mrs. Gaskell who contacted me Should I ignore her for awhile and then pretend to reluctantly agree?” 

She replied, “No need.” 

“True. It’s better to receive the nine–figure su sooner. I’ll agree to her offer immediately,” Piglet texted
