Chapter 236 He Didn't Know the Man behind the Scenes


Early in the morning.


Jared was woken up by the phone call from his secretary.


He picked up the phone and listened for a while. Suddenly, he sat up with a jerk and asked in amazement, "What did you say?"


Roxanne was woken up by his voice.


She opened her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"


Jared didn't reply to her, just opened the quilt and got out of bed.


While getting dressed, he asked his secretary on the phone, "Hasn't a consensus been arrived at? What did the people at AT Group say? Holding a meeting? Why? The project has been finalized, and the initial funds have been invested..."


Roxanne guessed something was wrong.


While dressing Jared, she asked, "Jared, what's wrong?"


Jared was in such a bad mood that he pushed her away!


He didn't even look at her. He just took his coat and went out of the room hurriedly.


Roxanne quickly got up from the ground and saw Jared leave the house. She was upset, so she took out her mobile phone and called another shareholder of the company.


At the beginning, the shareholder didn't answered the phone. After a while, a middle-aged man said on the phone, "Why did you call me in the early morning? My wife is still here!"


Roxanne said coldly, "You think I want to call you? Tell me! What happened to AT's project?"


The man was stunned, asking, "AT? What can AT... Wait a minute. I have a phone call."


Their conversation stopped for a while.


Then, the man's voice came again, "I'll hang up the phone. Something really happened to the project. I have to rush to the company for a meeting. Bye."


"Wait!" Roxanne hurriedly shouted to the man, "We've invested our money into this project..."


Patter! The phone was hung up.


Roxanne was so angry that she held her phone tightly with wide eyes!


In the hotel in a small county town at the moment.


At breakfast, Lloyd looked at Ebony who was sitting opposite.


Seeing that Lloyd peeped at her sometimes, Ebony asked after sucking a mouthful of porridge, "What are you doing?"


Lloyd frowned, "You cried?"


Ebony burst into laughter, but she laughed like a duck because she cried herself hoarse last night.


She said arrogantly, "Cry? What could I cry for? I'm happy! I'm rich now!"


He frowned tightlier.


Ebony, however, buried herself in having breakfast and said nothing.


After breakfast, they left for Sluvale.


On the plane, Ebony wore an eye mask to help her sleep.


When she was sleeping, someone covered her with a blanket.


She knew that it was Lloyd who did that for her, but she didn't say anything or even move a little.


After a while, she felt that he touched her hair, and then a voice of deep sigh came to her ears, "When will you be willing to trust me..."


Ebony didn't think that Lloyd's words were right.


In fact, she had trusted him so much that she pretended not to know that he installed a location virus in her mobile phone.


Ebony knew very well whether there was GPS in the computer.


Because the computer was not Lloyd's, but Aunt Grace's.


She deliberately gagged with him yesterday to make excuses for him. After all, it was not suitable to reveal that.


She was so considerate but Lloyd still thought she didn't trust him.


It was hard to get on with him...


When thinking about that, Ebony turned her back to Lloyd and continued to sleep.


For the next three days, Ebony stayed at the Vasquez family's house all the time.


Early in the morning on the fourth day, Ebony was about to go out.


Lloyd sat on the couch and looked at her, asking, "Go out?"


Ebony replied, "Yes."


Lloyd frowned, "Why are you so sure that you can go out?"


Ebony said while changing her shoes, "I've asked Aunt Grace. She said I could go out."


Lloyd said calmly, "You should know that her words don't count."


Ebony looked at Lloyd and shrugged, "What a coincidence! She said the same words as you."


Then she opened the door and went out.


Lloyd, "..."


When Ebony arrived at the company, Dolores was waiting for her in the office.


Seeing her coming, Dolores pointed at the gift box on the couch and said, "It's your evening dress."


Ebony went to open the box, looked at the dress, and said, "Thank you."


Dolores looked at her and asked, "What party are you going to? Do you want Janet to accompany you?"


Ebony said, "Thank you, but it's just a private party among friends."


Dolores frowned, thought about it for a while, and then advised, "When you are there, don't drink and eat the things that others give you. Do you have enough money? I'll give you two hundred dollars. Then don't eat as much as possible at the party like you haven't eaten for hundreds of years!"


Dolores took out her mobile phone and wanted to transfer money to Ebony.


Ebony stared at Dolores for a while. Then she suddenly got up from the couch and sprinted to Dolores!


Dolores was almost knocked down by her!


She quickly grasped the desk and roared, "What's wrong with you?"


Ebony clung to Dolores's neck, kissed her face heavily, and then said, "Dolores, I'm rich now."


Dolores stared at her with a suspicious look.


Ebony giggled a little, stood up, picked up the box carrying the evening dress, and ran away.


In Sweet Dream Club at six o'clock in the evening.


A lot of well-dressed men and women crowded in the beautiful and bright grand banquet hall.


The sponsor of the party was delivering a speech on the stage with a microphone.


Outside the banquet hall, Ebony, dressed in a black strapless evening dress, took out an invitation letter from her handbag and handed it to the receptionist.


The receptionist read the invitation letter, and then respectfully extended his hand to her to invite her in.


When Ebony walked into the hall, the sponsor was still speaking on the stage.


Ebony took a quick glance at the sponsor and looked at the crowd.


Then she easily saw Jared, who was whispering with an enterprise boss at the front of the crowd.


This was the first time that Ebony had seen Jared since her rebirth.


Maybe because Ebony was a little far away from him, she suddenly felt that Jared was so small.


He was totally different from the person she remembered. He was not so hig and terrible as a monster blocking the sky.


When a waiter went to her with red wine, Ebony picked up a glass of wine and walked to the rest area not far away.


After a while, the sponsor's speech was finally over.


Jared immediately said to Mr. Pitt, a boss, around him, "What do you think about the project I just introduced to you? If you are interested in it, let's go over there and have a further talk."


Mr. Pitt said frankly, "President Gibson, I know your current situation. Your cooperation with AT failed, and your Rhonten Group's share price keeps going down. But I really don't think I am able to help you. You need to find someone else."


Jared hurriedly explained, "It's just a little internal fluctuation. The stock price will soon return to normal. As for the project of AT, we actually didn't lose much..."


"Not much?" Mr. Pitt said with a smile, "You are realy one of the Gibson family. In your eyes, the working capital of 100 million dollars that can tie up all the ongoing parts of the project is not much. Now that your Group is so strong, it's not worth cooperating with a small business like mine."


Jared said gloomily, "No need to speak like that..."


"President Gibson, I'd like to tell you something."


Mr. Pitt waved his hand and said, "I think there is something strange about the unsuccessful cooperation between you and AT Group and the falling share price. I heard that AT changed its mind because it used its funds for another financial bidding project. So the first question is why it chose that project. The second question is why the stock price of your Group plummeted even though there was no news about your failure to cooperate with AT. Someone must have done something bad to the your shares."


Jared, of course, knew that he had been tricked, but he had not found the person behind it!


Mr. Pitt then said, "President Gibson, do you know Vice Chairman Gibson is here today?"


Jared was stunned, asking, "Who?"


Mr. Pitt tutted, "He is the CEO of Gibson Corporation in the Asean-Patasic region and the Executive Vice Chairman of Gibson Corporation in North Merrica. His name is Jon Gibson."


"Jon Gibson?"


Mr. Pitt sneered, "It seems that you are really not well-informed. You only know that the party is held by Mr. Duncan of Luckee Group and that you are here to find a way to live. Why don't you know that Mr. Duncan and Vice Chairman Gibson are college classmates? Look, he is there."


Jared looked at the direction at which Mr. Putt pointed and saw Jon flash through the crowd!


According to the seniority, Jon was Jared's nephew, but Jon was the direct descendant of the Gibson family. Jared was just a distant collateral one, so he had no qualifications to get along with Jon.


Jared hesitated for a long time. Did he really have to resort to Jon?


Thinking of the current situation of Phonten Group, Jared gritted his teeth and decided to go ask Jon for help!


At the moment, Jared suddenly noticed that Jon kept looking at the rest area while talking to Mr. Duncan.


So Jared turned to look at the rest area.


Suddenly, he saw the face that he would never forget even though it turned into ashes!


Ebony!


Why was she there?


Looking at Ebony and then at Jon, Jared suddenly got an idea.


It was no use to know why Ebony was at the party, but it could be seen that Jon was obviously interested in Ebony.


So Jared thought if he sent Ebony to Jon's bed, he would surely win Jon's favor!


He believed that Ebony was not the child of the Gibson family and had no blood relationship with Jon. No man could refuse when seeing such a beautiful woman like Ebony being naked!


The more Jared thought about it, the more feasible he thought his plan was.


So he immediately walked towards Ebony.
