Chapter 70
No way. Christine didn’t like Lindsay because she loved money. Christine liked Lindsay from her heart.
Lindsay pushed Anna away forcefully and ran away agitatedly.
Anna fell to the ground, but she was not unhappy at all. Instead, she smiled coldly.
Anna was the most precious little princess in Archiland. Lindsay was a little dumb girl. So what if Lindsay became the heir of a billionaire? She was ultimately just a little dumb girl.
Sensing that Oliver’s conversation had ended, Milo hurriedly walked in to ask about the situation.
“Oliver, how is it? How’s the negotiation going?”
Oliver frowned slightly and said, “We will buy Reeves Group’s industrial raw materials at a premium of 20%. Moreover, 60% of the project’s profits will be shared with Reeves Group.”
When Milo heard this, he was about to explode in anger.
“Oliver, the prices of industrial raw materials have already been inflated by Reeves Group. Why do we have to purchase from them at a 20% premium and even share the profits with them? It’s outrageous!”
Oliver rubbed the space between his eyebrows and said helplessly, “I haven’t seen anyone more shameless than our scumbag.
dad!”
“That’s right. How could he ask for a 60% profit from us?”
Milo knew that Oliver had no choice. Their scumbag dad was too despicable.
Oliver’s eyes were deep. “Our scumbag dad now controls all the maritime transportation. If we don’t agree to his conditions, the project can only be suspended, and we have to pay huge compensation for breach of contract. Most importantly, this is our first project to enter Archiland. We can’t fail. In a word, I underestimated our scumbag dad. This is the price I should pay
Milo knew that Oliver had always been invincible in the business world. This was the first time Oliver had failed.
Oliver was inevitably depressed. Milo patted Oliver’s shoulder with his small hand and said in a cute voice, “Oliver, it is fine. We still have two projects to do. We won’t let our scumbag dad be smug for too long.”
After all, Milo was Oliver’s younger brother. There was no need to say anything, and Milo could understand Oliver.
“Yes” Oliver nodded slightly. Then, he suddenly remembered the commotion at the door and asked curiously, “Who were you talking to just now?”
“Little Tail wanted to see you, but I stopped her.”
“We lied about being sick. She’s probably worried. Let’s go back to class.”
“Yeah.”
Milo and Oliver walked out one after another. At this moment, Oliver discovered a ball of paper on the ground. He was a clean freak and would never pick up anything on the ground. However, he felt that the color of the ball of paper on the ground was very similar to what Little Tail usually used, so he picked it up.
It was written on the paper.
“Milo, why do you hate…
It was obvious that Little Tail hadn’t finished writing, but Oliver knew that Lindsay was going to write, “Milo, why do you hate me?”
At this moment, Milo, who was walking in front, realized that Oliver had suddenly stopped walking and was still reading the note. Milo turned back and asked curiously, “Oliver, what are you looking at?”
Oliver handed the note to Milo. Milo realized that although the words on it were not finished, he knew that Little Tail was sad.
They were just half–siblings, and they didn’t have to care so much about her.
But for some reason, when they saw Lindsay’s note, they suddenly felt as sad as she did.
“Oliver, Little Tail seems to be very sad.”
“Yeah.”
“But I didn’t do anything wrong. If she went in, your business would be ruined. I can’t let her go in. Besides, she is just our half–sister. Oliver, we don’t have to care so much about her.”
What Milo said seemed to be directed at Oliver, but it was also to convince himself. He felt that he cared too much about this half–sister. However, there was no need to do it.
Chapter 70
Oliver patted Milo’s shoulder and said. “You don’t have to blame yourself. It’s fine.”
When Milo realized that Oliver did not blame him, his mood relaxed a little, but he still felt a little suffocated.
Milo didn’t throw away the note in his hand. He just casually put it in the small pocket of his pants.
They would protect Lindsay from anyone bullying her because she was their half–sister. And because they were only half–siblings, they didn’t need to get too close to Lindsay
Milo tried to convince himself.
In Healthstone Hospital
Elizabeth suddenly stared at Daisy, making Daisy’s heart tingle.
Why was Elizabeth suddenly staring at Daisy?
Daisy asked in confusion, “Mrs. Elizabeth, what’s the matter?”
“Can you make soup?”
Daisy was instantly stunned. Ever since Daisy married into the Reeves family, she had not cooked for thirty to forty years. How could she know how to make soup?
“Mrs. Elizabeth, I don’t know how to make soup. Do you want to have soup? I will ask the chef at home to make it and send it
over.”
Elizabeth frowned and sat upright. “Do you know that Mrs. Foster just brought over the chicken soup she made herself for Nancy to drink? I heard that Nancy drank it all, not leaving a single drop of soup. You actually don’t know how to make soup. We will lose.”
Daisy felt a little awkward when she heard that, but she was angry at the same time. Sabrina was really too proactive. Sabrina actually came to Nancy again.
“Mrs. Elizabeth, Mrs. Foster is so cunning! She secretly gave Nancy soup! I’m going back now to learn how to cook soup. It’s not a big deal to learn how to make soup. I’ll definitely be able to do it. I can make a soup that tastes just as good as hers. You can trust me. I will win Nancy’s heart”
It had been so many years, but Randall was only interested in this woman. If they couldn’t be together, it must be even more difficult for Randall to meet a person he loved again.
When Elizabeth saw Daisy’s determined face, the anger on her face finally calmed down a little.
Elizabeth was still sitting upright, her eyes cold. “Forget it. She came prepared. Since she gave Nancy soup first, even if you go to learn how to make soup, and it tastes better than her, we will also lose.”
Daisy was a little anxious.
“Mrs. Elizabeth, what should we do now? We can’t just watch Nancy get snatched away by Mrs. Foster.”
Elizabeth’s expression was solemn. The reason why they came to the hospital was that they wanted to win Nancy’s heart as soon as possible. They also wanted to keep an eye on Nancy and not let anyone snatch her away.
However, these people had lots of tricks. First, it was Duncan who sent flowers, and now, even his mother came to deliver chicken soup. They were quite good at playing these bewitching tricks.
“When I came over just now, I thought I saw a five–star hotel near the hospital.”
“Yes. There happens to be a five–star hotel 330 feet from Healthstone Hospital.”
“No matter what price we have to pay today, buy that five–star hotel.”
“Mrs. Elizabeth. why did you suddenly want to buy that hotel?”
“Of course, I will buy a hotel to give to Nancy. She can eat whatever she wants in her own hotel. Those bored people in the hospital are right. Someone of Nancy’s status is indeed not suitable to eat work meals with them.”
Daisy finally understood and nodded repeatedly.
“Mrs. Elizabeth, you will help at this critical moment every time. You’re right. I’ll do it immediately.”
In terms of cooking soup. Daisy couldn’t beat Sabrina, but they could make Nancy drink whatever soup she wanted and eat whatever she wanted.
The five–star hotels would even be Nancy’s. She could eat whatever she wanted.
The Reeves family was just that generous.
