My Billionaire Husband

The Fords had a meeting with the reps of Atlas Beauty at 10 am.

Caroline and her mother, Rebecca, were already waiting outside the International Commerce Center by nine.

Caroline spared no effort in dressing up and putting on the right amount of makeup. It was not just to leave a good impression of the CEO of Atlas Beauty at the important meeting but also because she had a date with Dwayne O’Brien afterward.

It had been a few days since they met, and they had been getting along well. The O’Brien’s had also agreed to help them secure a celebrity spokesperson, thereby solving their problem.

Suddenly, an Audi stopped in front of Caroline and her mother, and a man in a form-fitting white suit stepped out. His charming expression made Caroline’s smile even wider.

“Over here, Dwayne.” She waved at him.

Dwayne walked up to them and greeted them politely. “Rebecca, Caroline. Sorry, I’m late.”

“It’s okay. We just got here too.”

Rebecca’s face was full of smiles. “Dwayne, how’s the celebrity spokesperson thing going on? Has it been solved?”

“Don’t worry, Rebecca.”

Dwayne took out a document with a smile. “This is a document from my father. This has information on all the artists under Cleo Entertainment. Miss Henderson can screen it later. It’s a win-win for both our companies.”

Dwayne had purposefully approached Caroline during the wedding but naturally, it was not because he had fallen in love with her at first sight.

The news that the Fords won the bid to partner with Atlas Beauty had been spread all over Emerdale. It went without saying that the O’Brien’s wanted a piece of the pie.

The Fords and O’Brien’s had reached an agreement to split the profits in half after the end of the project.

“That’s good.”

Rebecca breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Let’s go in and wait.”

The three of them entered the reception area of the International Commerce Center.

Drinking the tea prepared by the waitress, Rebecca looked at the various offices and buildings that made up the business industry in Emerdale and felt an unprecedented sense of pride.

The Fords would rise again as long as their partnership with Atlas Beauty went well, and she and her daughter would be their family’s saviors! The business broadsheets would be singing their praises.

“Looks like we have to thank that trash for our fortune right now.”

She picked up the teacup and took a sip, the corners of her mouth curving into a cold smile.

Once she and her daughter gained control over the family, kicking Leo out would be their priority!

William could protect him for now, but not forever.

Nicole Davis thought that the matter was over.

She had met many people, and knew exactly what to say to each of them. In her opinion, Leo was just a regular guy who knew how to brawl a bit. It seemed that Lydia Henderson was truly desperate for the 10 million balance to hire some street fighter.

Still, she solved it without any problem at all. Sneering at the thought of it, she took out a bottle of expensive wine and sampled it.

Soon, the door opened and a man with gold-rimmed glasses walked into her office with a smile. “You’re really the Black Widow of the underworld. You managed to drive the Atlas Beauty reps with just a few words.”

The smile on Nicole’s face deepened at Neil O’Brien’s generous compliment. “They’re just some simple-minded hooligans. No challenge at all, really.”

An overjoyed Neil sat beside her, picked up her fair hand, and gently massaged it. “Regardless, you’ve done me a big favor. I’ll definitely reward you for that.”

Nicole’s eyes burned with eagerness at the mention of getting a reward. “What about the 10 million you owe Atlas Beauty? Can that be my reward?”

“Look at you, you little gold-digger.”

Rather than getting mad, Neil wore a suggestive smile instead. “10 million is a lot of money, but it’s not completely unrealistic. Well, as long as you do a little extra, that is…”

His expression became lascivious as he spoke.

Naturally, Nicole understood what he was getting at. She played along and arched her back with a seductive smile. “Please be gentle with me, Neil.”

“Come on, you don’t really want that.” Neil laughed. “If you weren’t already Frank’s woman, I would have made you Dwayne’s stepmother.”

A hint of malice flashed in Nicole’s eyes, but she didn’t say anything.

It went without saying that Neil was referring to his son, Dwayne. Both were despicable men who had slept with many celebrities not just in Cleo Entertainment but the entire industry.

Nicole seemed to have forgotten how much she slept around, too. When it came to people whom she had sex with, her achievements were better than Neil and his son combined.

There was a saying that men conquered women by conquering the world, while women conquered the world by conquering men. To Nicole, men were just a way for her to climb her way to the top of the food chain.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Bad news, Miss Davis!”

Suddenly, the office door opened and a woman rushed in.

If Leo were here, he would have been surprised because it was none other than Mrs. O’Brien, the rich woman who had threatened the teacher to expel Emilia from kindergarten.

The couple worked in Cleo Entertainment. In fact, most O’Brien’s worked here.

With his plan for the day ruined, Neil frowned and shouted, “Look at you, looking all nervous and making a fuss!”

Mrs. O’Brien was visibly taken aback when she saw that the patriarch of her family was in the office.

“What is it?”

Taking advantage of her confusion, Nicole tidied up her appearance and went back to looking indifferent.

This reminded Mrs. O’Brien of her purpose and she said, “I just got a call that the nightclub on B2 has been completely wrecked.”

“What?”

Nicole’s expression changed greatly.

Neil was shocked as well. He slammed his hand on the table in rage. “Who is it? Who fucked with my place?”

“It’s a man with dyed blonde hair,” Mrs. O’Brien replied weakly.

“Dyed blonde hair?”

Neil racked his brain but could not figure out who it was.

Meanwhile, Nicole had already rushed out of the office with a gloomy face and gritted teeth.

Seeing this, Neil yelled, “Call the guards! Inform Frank as well!”

Then, he entered the elevator as well.

When Nicole arrived, the entire club was in a mess.

Fragments of glass bottles were everywhere, tables and chairs had toppled on the floor, and alcohol was spilled everywhere.

The sight of the mess almost caused her to faint. She screamed with undisguised anger, “Stop!”

The burly men turned around, but ignored her and continued to destroy the club.

The sound of breaking glass continued.

“Stop! Stop! My goods!”

Nicole felt like she was bleeding out. She had spent a lot of money to buy all that alcohol!

She wanted to run over and stop them herself, but how could her strength compare to these guys?

The men did not pay her any heed, and acted as if she did not exist. One of them even shoved her to the floor.

It was at this point that she understood that no matter how hard she tried to stop them, they would never listen to her.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the grim-faced Chris downstairs. He was with Leo, who was drinking liqueur calmly. Her pupils constricted as realization dawned on her.

She did not know who Chris was, but she knew how to read people.

It was apparent from Chris’s clothes and mannerisms that he came from an affluent family.

And yet, he was with Leo at this club. There was no doubt that he was here to back Leo up.

This was a tremendous shock to Nicole. She stared blankly at the indifferent Leo, who had been focused on his drink from beginning to end, and the corners of her eyes twitched.

Her intuition told her that she had offended someone she shouldn’t have.
