After the security guard finished speaking, he signaled another guard, saying, “Mister Triston is tired. Hurry up and take him
to rest.”
The other security guard immediately understood and dragged Mister Triston out of the room.
go
“Let of met How dare you stop me? Do you know who my father is? He’ll definitely take revenge for what you’ve done to me!” Triston shouted angrily.
“Mr. Melendez, I apologize for the inconvenience. I’ll explain everything to Mister Triston later and make sure he apologizes to you. Please don’t take it personally. I won’t bother you while you enjoy the art exhibit,” the security guard said, trying to smooth things over.
“This time, I’ll let it slide. But don’t let this kind of madman in again, or it will lower the standards of your exhibit, Joshua said coldly.
Christy looked surprised.
She didn’t expect Joshua to have such influence, even a security guard recognized him and was willing to help.
To be honest, if Joshua hadn’t been following her relentlessly today, she would have had more trouble.
“Thank you…” Christy couldn’t help but say it again.
“With our relationship, saying thanks is too formal,” Joshua said with a wicked smile, hugging Christy. “You don’t need to thank me. Just offer yourself to me in return.”
Ugh!
Joshua had just saved her, and she had a moment of gratitude for him, but he showed his true colors within seconds.
“So, everything men think about are such shallow things. What’s the difference between you and that guy just now?” Christy said angrily, struggling free from his embrace.
How much longer did he intend to take advantage of her?
“What’s the difference?” Joshua said with a mischievous smile. “The difference is huge! You had a child with me, but not with him.”
“You!” Christy glared at him, furious. “Shameless!”
“I just love being shameless with you.” Joshua laughed again.
“I think you really need a shameless person like me to be your protector. I’m right, aren’t I?”
“Joshua, can you just be quiet for a moment?” Christy couldn’t stand it anymore. “This is a museum!”
Christy turned to leave, but her heart was pounding after his words.
She was scared.
What if she couldn’t help but fall in love with him?
Joshua was a devil.
Six years ago, he had treated her so badly that she almost died at his hands. And now, he was pursuing her as if nothing had ever happened.
Once she truly trusted him, he would reveal his devilish side, and she would only end up getting hurt even more.
Christy was running away.
As Christy walked away, her beautiful figure fading into the distance, Joshua’s eyes darkened,
She was still so heartless toward him, using him and then kicking him aside every time.
Was he just fooling himself all along?
Joshua hated this feeling.
Because of Christy’s indifference, the raging beast within him was getting harder and harder to control….
At the art exhibition.
Every piece had a story behind it..
The atmosphere was filled with art, but after Joshua’s outburst, Christy was too distracted to appreciate the exhibition.
Strangely enough, since scolding Joshua, he hadn’t shown up again.
That chilling feeling of being watched had also disappeared…
Chapter 117
Had Joshua really left?
Christy found herself looking back occasionally, but in the bustling exhibition hall, she couldn’t find Joshua’s tall figure.
She sighed with relief.
Was Joshua finally tired of her and willing to let go, or was he just planning a more intense hunt?
Christy couldn’t tell.
In fact, Joshua hadn’t gone far. He was standing behind a pillar not far from Christy, hidden from her view.
He watched her with interest and a dangerous glint in his eyes.
Today, Christy was his prey.
Joshua was like a lion on the hunt, slowly waiting for his prey to fall into the trap he had carefully set.
This move was called playing hard to get.
Joshua was planning to give the arrogant Christy an even bigger surprise.
Many people had noticed earlier when the security guard, afraid to offend Joshua, had thrown Triston out.
Joshua believed that no one would dare to harass Christy now.
However, compared to waiting for Christy to take the bait, Joshua had something more important to do.
Triston had truly angered Joshua earlier.
With his personality, there was no way Joshua would let Triston off easily.
With that, Joshua made a call.
“Mr. Melendez, what can I do for you?” The person who answered the phone was Lorene.
“Cancel the new contract with Woodlan Group immediately.” Joshua ordered coldly.
“But, Mr. Melendez, we’ve already settled the contract and scheduled Mr. Walyer to come this afternoon to sign it. Why cancel it at the last minute? This is a 700–million–dollar deal…” Lorene was very confused.
“I don’t care! From now on, remove Woodlan Group from Stellar Group’s list of partners. They’re just a supplier. We can find another one. There are plenty of people waiting in line to work with Stellar Group!” Joshua declared firmly.
“Alright, Mr. Melendez, I’ll take care of it right away.” Lorene sighed.
Lorene knew that once Joshua had made up his mind, there was no changing it.
Lorene wondered when Woodlan Group had offended Joshua….
After hanging up, Joshua’s expression grew even colder.
If he hadn’t come to Olivia City, he would never have known that Mr. Walyer’s son was so “talented, not only failing to recognize who Joshua was but also daring to harass a woman in public.
To be honest, even if Triston hadn’t harassed Christy, Joshua’s decision would have been the same if he had witnessed the incident.
As the saying went, like father, like son.
Triston’s behavior was the result of Mr. Walyer’s indulgence. How could Joshua trust a 700–million–dollar project to a family
like that?
However, the fact that Triston had messed with Joshua’s woman only made him angrier!
For Woodlan Group, a 700–million–dollar deal was not a small amount!
At this moment, Mr. Walyer was eagerly preparing for the signing.
Recently, Woodlan Group had been struggling, facing significant losses and insufficient cash flow. Meanwhile, Triston had been spending money recklessly, and Mr. Walyer himself had been financially supporting several mistresses, leaving the company short on funds.
The Stellar Group deal was like a lifeline for Woodlan Group.
If the deal went through successfully, it would stabilize their sales for the year and resolve their cash flow issues.
In short, this deal was crucial and could not be lost.
However, just at this critical moment, a top executive from Stellar Group suddenly called and informed Mr. Walyer that the deal was off
Mr. Walyer urgently inquired about the reason behind this decision, hoping there might be a chance to salvage the situation. But the response from Stellar Group was firm. The deal was canceled without any explanation.
In that instant, Mr. Walyer felt as if the sky was falling!
Losing this deal meant that Woodlan Group’s bankruptcy was now dangerously close.
