Chapter 141
"How's what?" Diane had been trying to tolerate everything all this time and did not want to say anything because everyone present was her parents.
But Christopher eventually becomes bolder and more arrogant and ends up getting carried away.
What does he mean? Did he say that Diane was shameless and had used some despicable means to earn money?
What kind of elder is he?!
"Dian, what are you doing?!" Sherry yells at him before Christopher answers. "Is that how you talk to your parents?"
"Are you behaving like an old man?" Diane was so angry that she started smiling. "Since we entered, you have demeaned us and also demeaned my parents. Does our family owe you anything?"
"Or are you upset that you realize that we're doing better than your family right now?"
Diane glared at Sherry and did not hold back anymore. "Yes, my family is rich, VERY rich. And this money is all from my husband. Wh why? You got a problem with that?!"
He really can't take it anymore.
He always treated Sherry and Christopher as parents, but did they ever treat him as a family?
They even went so far as to say something like that!
Diane was kind, but that didn't mean she would let anyone bully her.
Ethan sat there and said nothing.
This was the first time she had seen Diane getting angry, and she knew Diane had to be angry now.
He didn't say anything because he wanted Diane to understand that kindness was for those who deserved it, and not just anyone.
"You ..." Sherry was angry now and stood up to point at Diane. "You're so rude! You think I'd be jealous of your family? What a joke!"
"Your mother was stupid then! He married a paralytic and ruined the rest of his life. I didn't manage to persuade her, but now you're even more stupid to find a man to marry in the family! The reputation of our Baker family is now in tatters because of you and your mother!"
Sherry was furious, as if Diane had guessed what was in her heart. "What to be jealous of? You say your family is rich, but how rich can you be? Richer than me? Huh uh?!"
Neither Jared nor Cheryl imagined that Christopher would say such a thing.
They could have given Diane one or two pointers as an older person, but it was still inappropriate to say this kind of thing.
Besides, Ethan's still here.
Jared was furious when he heard these words as well. No elder should speak of such a younger member of their family.
"Sorry to interrupt, but our family is really richer than you," Ethan spoke softly before Jared could step up to speak for Diane.
He stood up and grabbed Diane's hand, and Diane immediately regained her composure.
"As the heir to the Palmer Group, Diane is now worth about a few billion. Not much compared to some people, but definitely much more than yours."
"The Palmer Group's Heir?" Sherry was silent for three seconds, as if she had been hit by a cannonball. Then he started yelling again, "That's impossible! That useless William is unlikely to inherit the Palmer family's assets!"
"Are you still trying to fool me ?!"
"The old Palmer Group has collapsed. There's a new Palmer Group now, and my father-in-law is the chairman while Diane is the CEO" Ethan continued calmly. "You mean First Aunt doesn't know about this?"
Sherry's face was red with anger. He refused to believe all this.
April doing better than him?
That's not possible!
"Actually I don't want Diane coming here, because eating with people like you is right below us" Ethan was disrespectful again.
"Grandma, Diane and I have something, so we're not going to eat with you today."
Since things have become like this, Ethan knows that Diane is not in the mood anymore to stay here, so he holds Diane's hand and turns to leave.
Chapter 142
"Diana!" Jared's after them. "Don't be angry!"
Diane shook her head and said nothing.
"If he wants to go then let him go! Don't tell me we can't eat just because he's gone?" Sherry sneered, "Our house is too small for the Palmer Group's heirs!"
Christopher also snorted and sat back down.
He had heard some news about how there was a big change in the Palmer Group of Greencliff. But he never expected that the Palmer Group now belonged entirely to the Diane family.
How rich were they then?
No wonder they could afford a nice car and buy her mother-in-law such an expensive bracelet. So they purposely came to show off today!
After hearing what Sherry said, Diane sighed in her heart. He was still trying to treat his oldest aunt as a relative before this, but now he decided to let go of everything.
"Let's go." Ethan is calm.
Just as the two of them were about to leave, there were cheerful voices coming from outside.
"Manager Lawton! Lawton's manager is really here!"
Some people came laughing and carried a basket of fruits and baskets. "We heard that Manager Lawton's mother-in-law was celebrating her birthday, so we decided to stop by!"
Christopher looked up and there was a smile on his face. This is his subordinate at work.
He had sent them a message in the morning to say that he was celebrating his mother-in-law's birthday today, and these people immediately understood what Christopher implied.
"Hello Grandma Baker, we're a subordinate of Manager Lawton, and we're here specifically to wish you a happy birthday!"
"This is just a small gift from us, we hope you like it, happy birthday!"
Some of them are good at talking and keep adding words of congratulations.
"It's been pretty good to come, why bring a gift," Christopher deliberately put a stern expression on his face, but there was no way to hide the excitement in his eyes. "Don't do this next time!"
This is the connection he has! This was the influence he had!
He deliberately glanced at Diane. Even if Diane's family is now rich, in this small town of Park Creek, her position is more useful than Diane's money.
Sherry was very happy. He immediately pulled out a few more chairs for them to sit on.
These men came to prove her husband's ability.
Before they could sit, there was another horn outside, and it sounded like more than one car.
"There are a few more people coming?" Sherry is shocked but then excitement soon overwhelms her face. He deliberately turned to Christopher and pretended to be angry, "What are you doing? It's just my mom's birthday, why are you calling so many important people?"
"I didn't call many of them, just a few of them in my jurisdiction. They said they wanted to drink" Christopher sat up straight and his eyes were smiling now. "I'll go out and take a look."
He deliberately walked past Ethan and Diane arrogantly while walking out.
Jared was angry when he saw this and wanted to say something, but his wife stopped him.
Diane is expressionless, while Ethan feels amused. He felt like he was watching some clown that looked cute and naughty.
There were several cars parked outside the house, and the first one out was Mayor Tyson!
The rest were all people in the top positions in Park Creek. They get a notice that Mayor Tyson is coming at the last minute and quickly runs out. They had no idea why the person controlling the entire Greencliff had suddenly come to their small town.
Christopher was stunned for a moment when he saw all the Park Creek higher-ups. He was only a department head and there was no way he could get all these important people to come!
When he sees the Park Creek higher-ups respectfully following a group of men, Christopher feels goosebumps, especially when he sees Mayor Tyson's face. It was the face he often saw on TV, and Christopher's legs started shaking.
"Palmer CEO!"
Mayor Tyson looked at Ethan and nodded slightly but did not greet him. Instead, he quickly walked up to Diane and shook her hand. "I'm in your office looking for you, but your secretary told me that you're in Park Creek to celebrate your Grandma's birthday, so I'm rushing in right away."
"Am I still on time to wish your grandmother a happy birthday?"
Chapter 143
Dian stunned.
Christopher was also surprised. Everyone in the house was equally stunned.
The lower ranked leaders behind Mayor Tyson all held their breaths and it took them a long time to finally react.
Mayor Tyson came rushing to Park Creek just to wish an old lady a happy birthday?
That's insane!
But before anyone could react, Mayor Tyson approached Grandma Baker and shook her hand warmly, "Grandmother Baker, happy birthday!"
Grandma Baker is still in shock. But when she saw how Christopher was paled in fear, she realized that this man must be someone of high standing.
"Thank you! Thank you! You are so good!" Grandma Baker quickly replied.
All the leaders of Park Creek quickly came up with wide smiles and gave a warm greeting and good wishes to Granny Baker one after another.
For Mayor Tyson, they were just low-ranked leaders. But for Christopher, none of these people had the right to talk to him.
All of Christopher's colleagues did not dare to say anything. They stood to one side as if they were afraid of being seen, and were extremely agitated.
"Why did so many important people suddenly appear?"
"I don't know either! What the hell's going on? Because of that young woman, CEO Palmer?"
The two whispered to each other with hearts pounding. They're really scared.
Everyone in the Baker family was equally shocked.
Sherry opened her mouth to ask but Christopher glared at her to shut up. Can't he tell me what's going on?
Sherry shut her mouth again.
She could clearly feel the nervousness and uneasiness on her husband's face. This expression only appeared when he was dealing with people whose rank was much higher than his.
"CEO Palmer, those investors are here and insist on meeting with you, so I should come looking for you soon," Mayor Tyson said with a smile. "There are some big projects in hand that insist on only working with the Palmer Group, and they don't want anyone else."
Dian nodded. "You just called me, really. I'm so sorry you had to come all the way here personally."
He was too polite and Mayor Tyson gulped. He steals a look at Ethan and sighs a sigh of relief in his heart when he sees that Ethan is not angry.
"Oh no, no problem at all. Working hard to develop Greencliff's economy is my responsibility, so there's no problem at all."
"So .." she paused for a moment and looked at Diane. "When can CEO Palmer go back to Greencliff?"
Dian looked back. He wanted to leave a long time ago.
"Let's go now."
"Grandma, we go first." He doesn't want to say it anymore.
Mayor Tyson shook Grandma Baker's hand again and was filled with guilt. "Grandmother Baker, I'm really sorry for interrupting your birthday celebration. But some of these projects are really very important and I really need CEO Palmer to get things done, so I have no choice but to ask him to go with me."
Grandma Baker just kept nodding her head. "Your problem is very important, don't worry about it, don't worry."
Grandma Baker was stunned.
Since when was his grandson so amazing?
Ethan drives a car with Diane in it and Mayor Tyson and the others follow him.
After their entire group left, the house was still deserted.
"Then uh, Manager Lawton, we have something, so we go first," Christopher's subordinate quickly waved and left.
They can say that something is wrong in the air, and they just hope that coming here to support their department heads does not result in their future being destroyed.
Christopher's expression was very evil, but he wasn't angry. She was scared.
He was only a department head, and any leader who followed behind Mayor Tyson could kill him at any time, let alone Mayor Tyson himself.
But he had seen for himself how those leaders had followed Mayor Tyson so closely and did not even dare to fart!
Chapter 144
"Diane's really okay huh?" Jared's wife was the first to break the silence. His eyes shone and he spoke with great admiration, "I just know he'll make it!"
"Jenny, did you see that? Your cousin graduated from a very famous university, and look how well he did! You have to study hard and also succeed in the college exam!"
"okay!" Jenny nodded seriously.
Jared took a deep breath and looked at his own wife and daughter.
Of course he knew the people who had just come. He had also seen how Christopher's face had completely paled and lost all the arrogance he had before as head of the department. Christopher awkwardly smiled to get help for half an hour and his cheeks might be stiff now, but no one cared about him.
Sherry said nothing.
He was defeated this time.
Diane's family is amazing now!
He secretly asks Christopher a question, but Christopher just shakes his head and says nothing. The blow he suffered was even greater.
He had tried to show off in front of Diane before, but all the leaders with much higher ranks than her all respected Diane very much.
They're not stupid. They can sense that Mayor Tyson is not only courteous towards Diane, but also looks respectful towards Ethan.
Absolutely right! That's an honor.
The food suddenly felt bland.
"Geez I'm so late, I'm so late!"
Cheryl's husband took the lead with two men behind her carrying massage chairs into the house. He saw everyone sitting at the table but no one was eating, and he joked, "Why, waiting for me?"
Cheryl glared at him and said, "For what?"
Her husband was not angry. After the two men put down the massage chair, she went to Grandma Baker for compliments.
"Mom, I already bought you a massage chair, it costs more than $8,000!" He had a proud expression on his face. "It's time for you to enjoy your old age!"
He then looked at the bracelet on Grandma Baker's wrist and he immediately felt that this bracelet must have been very expensive.
Cheryl quickly cast a glance at him to tell him to stop humiliating.
Is a massage chair worth more than $8,000 is something fun?
Diane has given her mother a bracelet worth $56,000!
"By the way, I thought you said April wasn't coming but Diane was coming?" Cheryl's husband turned to look at her and smiled. "You asked me to introduce someone to her, right? I went to call ..."
"Have you finished talking?" Cheryl could not hold it anymore and her voice was loud. "Sit down and eat! Is all this food not enough to fill your mouth?!"
Introduce someone? Anything to!
Does Diane need Cheryl to introduce her to someone?
Cheryl wants Diane to thank him, but after seeing her husband, it is clear that Ethan is not an ordinary man. Women are more detailed and there are a lot of things she learned that Christopher doesn't have.
Ethan is definitely not a simple person.
In fact, Diane's family situation may have changed so much precisely because of her.
They all knew Diane's family situation very well. It had been the same for over a decade now, so how could it change so drastically in such a short amount of time?
Her husband was a little surprised and did not know what was going on. But obviously something was wrong, so he didn't say it again.
The air in the house was a bit strange, but Jared and his family were feeling very relaxed now.
"Come on, come on, let's eat!" Jared took his wine glass. "Mom, happy birthday, this is a toast to you!"
None of this bothered him. After all, she had never bothered or said anything bad about Diane's family all this time, and had actually shown great attention to them.
The big red packet Ethan gave Jenny made her happier.
She knows that April remembers the worry she's showing her.
"Too weak to eat? Why don't you take your chopsticks? Sis? Christopher?"
Chapter 145
Diane didn't say anything on her way back.
After a long time, he finally turned to look at Ethan. "Am I so stupid?"
"How could my wife be stupid?"
"You always say that I'm kind, but being too good is like being stupid, right?" Diane laughed bitterly at herself. "My first aunt always looked down on my family. I don't like her, but I can't force myself to hate her just because she's my aunt."
"But there are people in this world who don't deserve my kindness, right?"
"You didn't say anything today because you wanted me to understand this, did you?" he looked at Ethan and asked in a serious tone of voice.
"I just told you that my dear wife isn't stupid, even you're very smart" Ethan laughed.
That's what he thinks.
Dian is too kind. If he remained under his protection, it was fine to continue like that.
In fact, his kindness is the most beautiful thing in the world, and it is something Ethan wants to cherish and cherish throughout his life.
But now, Diane would not be under her protection forever. He wants to grow and be perfect.
Now William leads the Palmer Group, but what about it? What about the future?
Ethan won't put all his energy into a small company. The company will be Diane's responsibility.
After Ethan answers her, Diane says nothing.
He looked out the window, and took a deep breath after a long time.
"Ethan, I realize I'm starting to like you a little bit."
He doesn't look at Ethan, but these words make Ethan's heart jump in excitement. But he only nodded slightly and replied calmly, "Stay that way."
When they reached the entrance of the Palmer Group, Diane got off and everyone behind her also got off their car.
"CEO Palmer, all the investors are already on their way and said they want to talk to you personally, so I'm not going up." Mayor Tyson smiled. "If you need anything, just call me."
"Thank you Mayor for your support," Diane thanked him sincerely.
Shortly after she leaves with Ethan, Ashley tells him that some investors have come to meet with Diane.
"Return the meeting room."
Diane has cleaned herself up.
He knew what kind of path he had to go through now.
There were five people in the meeting room. The team leader was a man and a woman who both looked quite young, but looked quite impressive.
"I didn't expect that the Palmer Group of Greencliff actually changed hands" Rion Page was quite surprised. "The old Palmer Group was purchased recently, and I heard that the transaction price was kept secret."
If he found out that the price of his transaction was not even a hundred dollars, his jaw would definitely fall.
“Despite whether it is a new Palmer Group or an old Palmer Group, it never hurts to try to see if there is an opportunity to work together. This Palmer group has been working really well recently, so I think they have quite a strong power.the backers."
The other is Blake Price. He was very handsome and charismatic, and it was clear that he also had quite a high standing.
Blake Price turned his head when he heard the sound of high heels coming from outside the room.
When she saw Diane's extremely pretty face, her breathing paused for a while and her eyes did not leave her face at all.
"Sorry to keep you all waiting," Diane smiled as she greeted the team. Then there was a shocked expression on his face as he said, "Here you are?"
Blake Price looked at Rion Page. There were as many surprises on Rion Page's face as Diane did.
"CEO Palmer Group is you?"
Obviously Rion Page never expected that the person he met today was Diane. Diane had been her rival since they were at university, but Rion Page had never acknowledged it.
"That's right, I'm the CEO of Palmer Group," Diane nodded. "You're the representative of the Citadel Group?"
Rion Page also nodded.
Ethan stood still on one side without saying anything. He didn't expect investors to include someone Diane knew.
"I don't think we need to discuss this project any further" Rion Page shook his head before Diane could continue. "Blake Price, let's go. This Palmer Group is not worth our investment."
Dian frowned a little.
Blake Price was a little surprised. They had just met and did not say a word but Rion Page spoke like that. So he knew that Rion Page knew Diane but they weren't friends.
"Miss Page, what's going on here?" ask Blake Price.
"Because the CEO of Palmer Group is Diane, then I am very suspicious of the ability of this Palmer Group," Rion Page went straight to the point. He was still smiling, but he did not hide the disgust in his eyes. "As far as I know, CEO Palmer's capabilities are limited and he's not capable of handling such a large company. I'm afraid this Palmer Group will suddenly collapse and affect our plans."
"Rion, that's outrageous," Diane furrowed her brows.
"Not at all" Rion Page continued to smile. "CEO Palmer, we're all old friends so you don't have to pretend anymore. You were never as good as I was at university, and you were far from the mark in every aspect, so it was tantamount to doing business. I'm feeling very risky to work with you."
He was so direct and so embarrassing.
Rion Page wanted to leave after he said all this.
He had just taken a few steps when a hand blocked his path.
"What do you want?"
Ethan stood there and looked at Rion Page calmly. His eyes were as calm as the surface of the lake, and this calmness made Rion Page's heart tremble and feel uneasy for some reason.
"You've had nose surgery, done something with your lips, and your eyelashes are planted artificially. Your jaw is also shaved, right?"
The expression of Rion Page changed. He becomes more anxious than angry, but Ethan does not wait for him to argue.
His eyes moved downward and continued to speak without restraint, "This part was once flat like an airport runway, so how much silicon is in here? Is there any part of your body that is still genuine?"
"You ... Who are you?!"
Rion Page's face was all red and he was furious. Ethan has properly demonstrated all the plastic surgery he's done. But..but how does Ethan know?!
“That's right, nothing real. Besides, you're also pretty free, so it stinks down there, right? Even if you use an expensive perfume to cover it, I can still smell the smell of dead fish coming from there. "
Ethan even deliberately waved his hand in front of his nose and looked at him with disdain. "People like this want to compare themselves to my Diane? Do you still have respect for yourself?"
"You!!"
Rion Page was so angry that he was about to faint. And he's so embarrassed.
How does Ethan know that there's a smell in his nodes? What the hell's going on?
He saw another man staring at him and he wished he could fall into the hole now.
"Oh, ups, I've just shown you all your plastic surgery, so I guess you've lost all respect for yourself." Ethan then turned to Diane and said very seriously, "CEO Palmer, I suggest that we not work with them on this project. If we have to work with someone who doesn't value himself, I think it'll work out.be very risky."
Ethan took Rion Page's words earlier and reused them on him, and he even added insult to him without restraint!
"Diana!" Rion Page screamed like he was a vengeful ghost. "This is the type of person your company employs? Just wait!"
He then taunted and angrily stormed in his high heels.
"Have the cleaning lady come in and spray a little air freshener here. Why is the smell of this dead fish so strong?"
Rion Page had just stepped one step into the elevator when he heard this and almost vomited blood from anger!
Chapter 147
Diane almost laughed out loud when she saw how Rion Page was about to go crazy from anger.
His secretary and the other staff could not stand it anymore and laughed out loud along the corridor until they cried.
"Brother Ethan! You're so rude!"
"You dead fish? That woman probably had to shower 20 times today, right?"
"Brother Ethan, your eyesight is amazing! You can even tell where she had the surgery!"
Diane held him back and did not laugh even after he got to her office. It was only when he walked to the window and looked out, that his shoulders finally started to tremble with laughter.
"How do you know that she had plastic surgery?" He turns to look at Ethan after a while.
"Too clear. The doctor who led the operation was probably just a student" Ethan replied with a flat face.
His observation skills could even detect if one wore a mask made of human skin, so it was unlikely that plastic surgery performed poorly would escape his eyes.
"Then what about his free lifestyle and the smell of dead fish on him?"
Ethan realizes that Diane looks more like she's interrogating him.
How does Ethan know about such personal matters? Or is Ethan part of that free lifestyle?
"You mean you didn't kiss her?" Ethan fleshed his nose. "It was so strong, I think even Ashley's face had turned green because of it."
Diane did not hold it in and just laughed out loud.
He knew Ethan was defending him and would not let anyone bully him in front of him.
"Rion Page was my classmate at university and his grades were always not as good as mine, so he always rivaled me in every way. After graduation, he got into a big company in Fairbanks and got promoted very quickly, while I started working for Steven. Our positions are miles apart, so he's happy for a long time."
Diane did not tell him about how Rion Page had mocked her in front of his classmates many times and said that Diane would always be stuck downstairs and working for someone else.
At university, Diane was more prominent than Rion Page in every way. Even the number of boys who seduced Diane far exceeded the number of Rion Page. There was even a boy that Rion Page had liked for four years, but still refused to accept it even after Diane rejected it.
After graduation, Diane had no choice but to enter the Palmer Group, while Rion had already joined the Citadel Group. Rion had utilized his body to reach the position of Assistant General Manager of the investment department in just a few years, so naturally he was elated.
"But since she's not as pretty as you, she's got to have plastic surgery," Ethan doesn't even have to guess. "It's a pity that she got worse with each operation, and now her face has become stiff."
"His love?"
"No, no!" Ethan quickly corrected himself. "There's no point in doing so many operations. The smell of a dead fish on him was enough to kill."
Diane is very concerned about Ethan, the man who is married to his family.
When Ethan is cold and ruthless, he can defeat the troops alone, and everyone who tries to make trouble always ends up crying and howling on the floor.
When Ethan is sweet, April will laugh endlessly and hope that she can soon accept him as a godson.
Ethan now shows his naughty side again.
This guy is really just a little adorable. Yup, just a little bit of it.
"So we might not be able to finish this project," Diane turned the topic back to serious business.
Citadel Group is a large company in Fairbanks and is very well known in the industry. If Palmer Group wants to expand into Fairbanks, then working with Citadel Group is actually a very good opportunity.
But since the one in charge was Rion Page, then Diane was unwilling to work with him. Moreover, after what Ethan said about the smell of his dead fish, Rion might want to kill him instead.
"Diane, that's where you're wrong" Ethan replied. "Now is the time for others to come begging us to work with them."
Chapter 148
On the first floor of the Palmer Group, Rion had completely gone mad from anger.
Airport runway filled with silicone, dead fish smell ...
Ethan has actually exposed the most personal part of his life in front of so many people.
His face is still red.
"Basic bastards! Low class! He's a lowly man!" Rion could not help but curse. "So the Palmer Group is this kind of company? How disappointing!"
Blake Price stood to one side and frowned slightly.
"Miss Page, the company sent you here to talk about investment projects, so you shouldn't be swayed by your own personal problems" Blake Price was a little unhappy.
"Blake Price, you see it for yourself. The staff at Palmer Group have poor standards, so who knows what the other horrible people at the company are hiding? This just proves that there is a problem with the business culture at Palmer Group and it is not worth our investment."
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. "Again, I'm very familiar with Diane and I'm sure she can't handle this company. Even if he wanted to try, he had no right to discuss business with me."
Blake Price frowned deeply.
If the company had not instructed him to let Rion Page lead this journey, he would have said a few more words.
What happened to Dian?
She's prettier than Rion.
"Since you insist, then I will report everything that happened to the big boss and see what he said," Blake Price replied. "The big boss has put a little bit of importance on this project, and I think it's not impossible to work with the Palmer Group."
Rion was surprised and he looked straight at Blake Price. He knew that Blake Price's status was unusual. Although he only treated his time in the Fort Group as training, his words were more weighty than his words. If he insisted on working with Diane, Rion Page probably wouldn't be able to stop him.
"Blake Price, I'll report to the big boss myself."
"That'd be better."
Blake Price turned around and slightly scrunched his nose. Rion immediately flushed and turned around as well.
"Miss Page, I think you should go back to the hotel and rest." Blake Price jumps into his car. "Oh and shower too."
Blake Price then left.
Rion's body trembled and even his neck was red now.
Blake Price also had a problem with the smell on his body!
"Flake of dead fish ... Blake Price is stupid!"
Rion screeched at Blake Price's car, "The words were meant for you, right?"
He stomped his feet and was so angry that he wanted to cry. He wanted to hit Diane and humiliate her in front of everyone so that she would look better in contrast. But Ethan just needs to mention the smell of dead fish and now he's a laughing stock.
He did not think about it anymore and immediately hailed a taxi to return to the hotel to take a shower. On the way, he used his bag to cover his lower abdomen, afraid the driver would smell something and ask why there was a smell of dead fish in the car again.
…
In hotel.
Gentry standing in front of the French window.
"Yes boss. I think it's better if I'm in charge of this matter. Miss Page seems to have some personal issues and I'm worried that it will affect her judgment" Blake Price said on the phone. "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely solve this problem."
After hanging up the phone, Blake Price turned to look at Diane's photos and information on the table. He asked someone to check all of this before he arrived at the hotel.
"Diane's. She's very pretty. The girl who looks pure," Blake Price licked her lips. "Women like this are gonna be a lot of fun, huh?"
"A woman with such beauty actually found a man to marry into her family. Did he want to use a useless piece of trash as a shield? What a great idea."
Some people do not like to be bothered, so they use this kind of method to politely resist any progress. Blake Price has met people like that before.
It doesn't bother him anyway.
He originally wanted to take this opportunity from the office to sleep with the talented woman of that company, Rion Page. But earlier when he was standing next to Rion, he could actually smell the faint smell of dead fish and immediately let go of the idea.
Especially after he saw Diane, this Rion was not even worth mentioning, and he did not even want to take off his pants now.
"Change the proposal for Palmer Group now and follow the requirements I set ..." Blake Price immediately sent instructions to the secretary.
"Diane, no woman who catches my attention can escape me!"
Chapter 149
In the next room.
Rion Page lay in the bathtub and the entire bathtub was filled with soap bubbles. He had poured the entire bottle of soap and the fragrance filled the bathroom.
His expression remained dark and he would sniff occasionally, afraid that there would be another smell.
"Diane! I'm not letting you go! And that jerk! Just wait!"
The phone starts ringing.
As she saw that it was a phone call from the boss, she picked it up and her voice became soft and chanted, "Honey~"
He dragged the word out enough to make the old man on the other end of the phone shiver, and a part of his body immediately reacted.
"Geez, don't call me that when we're talking about work. What if someone else hears it?" The voice on the phone reprimanded him, "Call me boss!"
"Papaaaa~"
He replied in another word that was dragged out, making him feel numb.
"Ehem!" The man across the line changed his sitting position. Obviously this way of calling him made him unable to sit still.
He would not continue this kind of conversation over the phone. He changed his tone and spoke seriously, "Rion, I've handed the Greencliff project to Blake Price, so you just need to help him."
Rion was shocked when he heard this and it took him a while to respond.
"Fashion…"
"I said call me boss!"
"Boss, but why? Didn't you say you put me in charge of this project so I can gain more experience? Why are you ..."
Rion was angry and frustrated. Did these old men really forget everything after they put their pants back on?
He had put in a lot of effort these days to get help from this boss and he had used every move he had to get him to agree. He had just reached Greencliff and he had taken up his leadership status with just one sentence.
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future," the other party replied casually. "Then it's done. If you're not too busy there, come back early. I got something interesting, we can have fun."
Then he hung up.
Rion was so angry that he almost smashed his phone to the floor.
He had taken so much effort to get the help of this old man and he thought that everything must be in order. But who knows, he's very angry now!
He's so mad!
"Definitely that stupid Blake Price! He must have gone to tell me first!"
Rion's expression was all dark. Blake must have told the boss about how he had a personal feud with Diane, so the boss didn't want her to be the leader anymore.
He knew that Blake was from the Price family in Fairbanks and had a fairly high standing. He came to the company just to train himself, but of course everyone followed him because he was from the Price family.
But that was all it took to pick up something he had worked so hard to get. Rion Page was filled with hatred!
She actually intended to use herself to try and seduce Blake Price as well. On the way here, they had exchanged some friendly views. But just because Ethan mentioned the smell of his dead fish, Blake Price's gaze instantly turned cold.
Rion Page wanted to cry.
It wasn't easy for him to get to where he is today. But now he had nothing after seeing Diane.
He is filled with hatred!
She was filled with hatred for Diane!
"It's all your fault! Diane! You're the cause of all this! I know you're a fucking carrier! I hate you!!"
Rion Page slammed his hands into the water violently and his messy, wet hair made him seem like a vengeful spirit.
Immediately after, he became calm, but his expression was extremely cold. "Look how I destroyed you!"
……
Someone from the Citadel Group called Diane again.
This time, the attitude is clearly different from before. Blake Price personally made this call.
Chapter 150
"CEO Palmer, I'm in charge of this project right now, and I really have to apologize to you," Blake Price sounded very sincere over the phone. "Rion Page brings his own emotions to work and says all those bad things to you. I've reported this to my company and we'll take the necessary action, I hope you won't be angry again."
"Citadel Group is eager to cooperate with Palmer Group and help Palmer Group enter the Fairbanks market. Why don't we both have dinner tonight to discuss the details? What do you think, CEO Palmer?"
Diane took a few seconds to consider, then she agreed, "OK."
He wanted to say that since they were going to discuss business, then the office would be a better place to discuss.
But eating will be more relaxed and easier to discuss problems, so it's also not a bad idea.
He put down the phone and turned to Ethan, "Go with me."
Ethan replies, "I'm your follower, so I'll go wherever you go."
Dian blushed. He's used to having Ethan by his side. That's so scary!
He hasn't even known Ethan that long!
Blake Price decides where to eat. He decided to dine at the Aegean Sea Hotel, and his name alone sounded quite romantic.
Dian was a little surprised. This is a place where couples love to go on dates, so why would Blake Price choose a place like this to discuss business?
"It looks like this Blake Price is very sincere," Ethan's eyes sparkled.
"Don't let your mind go wild" Diane replied firmly. "He's from another city, so he doesn't know these things."
Ethan just laughed. Only men know what other men think.
The two of them entered and the waiter led them to a quiet table in the corner.
When Blake Price sees that Ethan has come along, he freezes for a while. But he still stood up and extended his hand.
"Hello CEO Palmer!"
"Hello Mr. Price."
Diane reached out her hand and shook her hand gently, then pulled her hand back. He notices that Blake Price is alone and has to ask, "Where are others from your company?"
"It's just me." Blake Price only paid attention to Diane, and there was an unbearable desire and desire emanating from her eyes.
He notices that Diane doesn't look too happy with him, so he turns to look at Ethan. "And this is…?"
She thought Diane would come alone, but it turned out that someone was coming along. How insensitive!
Since they were going to discuss such a big project, most of the top-level management staff would not have the right to come along, so who was this bastard?
Moreover, he had said very clearly that this food was for the two of them, and did not intend for him to bring anyone else.
"My husband," Diane replied very calmly.
Blake Price was stunned when he heard it.
"What?"
He thinks he heard wrong.
"Athan's hunt." Ethan reached out and introduced himself.
"You're the guy who married into his family?"
Blake Price's face was filled with contempt. He has no intention of shaking Ethan's hand at all and seeing Ethan from top to bottom. "I heard you're homeless and something's wrong with your brain?"
No wonder Ethan had revealed everything about Rion in front of so many people. So he's a madman!
Ethan's expression did not change, but Diane became very upset.
He doesn't like to hear people say bad things about Ethan.
No matter what, Ethan is her husband now!
"Get out, you're not worthy of being CEO of Palmer, and you're definitely not worthy of sitting with me" Blake Price continued without letting Diane say anything. "A man who should marry into his wife's family actually wants to shake hands with me? What a joke."
"You're just CEO Palmer's dog, so it's good enough to wag your tail if he gives you a bone to eat. But if you intend to sit down with your owner, then it's over the line!"
