“I must say, I’m quite disappointed in you, Levi! You used to be a dark horse! Now, you’ve resorted to relying on your connections!”
“Logically speaking, Morris Group should be yours. How did you end up as a small-time technical consultant?” Lauren let out a derisive laugh.
She was in a particularly good mood now.
She was initially prepared to fight a hard battle.
But in the end, it was her ex-fiancé from during her childhood, Levi Garrison, who had turned up!
Not to mention, a completely ruined version of him.
She was ecstatic and felt fully confident about the negotiation that was about to begin.
“Wait, Ms. Fletcher! Something’s wrong. If Morris Group sent a useless person like him here, it means that they’re not taking this negotiation seriously at all!” her assistant exclaimed.
The smug smile on Lauren’s face immediately vanished.
She had actually thought about this too.
Did Morris Group deliberately send a useless person here?
Doesn’t that directly reflect their thoughts about this negotiation?
Even if they’re the ones who have the upper hand, they’re blatantly disrespecting Triple Group!
“What is Morris Group trying to do? Did they send a piece of trash over, to humiliate us?” Lauren threw the question to her assistant.
She purposely raised her voice so that Levi could hear her.
Her assistant replied, “Ms. Fletcher, I’ve just received the confirmation! Levi Garrison is the person they had sent to negotiate on the company’s behalf! He is authorized to make any decision!”
“In that case, let’s begin!” Lauren ordered in a cold tone.
While everyone was setting up the venue, Lauren approached Levi with a sneer. “Levi, I really never expected us to meet again like this! I had never believed the statement that people had said, stating that everything in life is temporary until I had seen you once again. Oh, how things have changed!”
Levi nodded. “Yeah! You’ve grown so much since the last time I saw you.”
“I know, right?” You’ve changed even more though! The Garrisons were clearly billionaires who had successfully listed their company. What happened in less than a month to make them fall so low? Now, all of the Garrisons are barely scraping by! They’re all just a pathetic bunch!
They used to be so high and mighty. Even though your father and mine were good friends, I knew that your father looked down on my family and saw us as peasants!
“But now, my family has a market value of two billion! I’m also the general manager of Triple Group in Erudia! We are the ones looking down on your family now! Including you! All of you are merely fit to lick the dirt from our boots!”
Lauren abruptly changed the topic. “Of course, you’re not doing too bad. At least you can still fulfill your basic needs, but you’re still considered a low-life!”
Levi who remained silent the entire time sighed softly when she was done.
Reality is simply too cruel.
A pure and kind little girl had turned into this kind of person…
One side of Lauren’s mouth lifted. “You can sigh all you want, but the reality is a b****! Don’t look down on others, because you’ll never know when they would rise and walk all over you! That’s what we Fletchers are doing right now; walking all over the Garrisons!”
Levi wasn’t angered by her words, but Seth on the other hand, couldn’t continue listening to her insults anymore.
When Lauren noticed that, she announced with a smile, “Alright, enough talk about this. My wedding is in five days! I’m marrying Lee Jung-jin, the nephew of Triple Group’s regional general manager, Park Cheon-shin! You must come, yes? Here’s the invitation!”
Levi accepted the invitation from her hand, with surprise sprawled across his face. “A Keerean?”
“Yeah! He’s a greatly valued executive of Triple Group and owns company shares too! Even the old you can’t compare to him!” Lauren flaunted arrogantly.
Levi smiled in response. “Sure. I’ll be there.”
