This was the first time Renee had heard Miyamoto’s voice which was deep, loud and pleasant to ears. He spoke the language not very fluently since he was a Japanese. She didn’t expect this indifferent man would help her.
“Who are you?” Lennie felt a little stunned when this man who was more handsome and stronger than Callum held her wrist.
Callum said to Renee in a low voice, “Renee, I’m sorry.”
“Miyamoto, forget it.” Renee shook her head and put on a self-mocking smile. She had nothing to talk about to that kind of woman.
“Daddy!” Owen walked out of the bathroom, lifting his cute pants. Miyamoto released Lennie, and threw a sharp and disdainful gaze at Callum.
“Owen, let’s go!” Renee held Owen’s hand, “Go to wash your hand!”
Once Lennie was let go of, she could not help but mock Renee, “So she wants to be a stepmother since nobody wants her.”
“Stop it!” Callum shouted, “Can you be quiet for a moment?”
Renee bit her lips stubbornly and pretended not to heart that. She opened the faucet and washed Owen’s hand, “Owen, wash your hand. Come. Let me give you some hand sanitizer.”
Lennie was taken away by Callum. Miyamoto turned his head to look at Renee who was washing his son’s hand. A hint of tenderness flashed across his dark eyes. He felt that Renee had the same misfortune as him.
He was surprised by his own thoughts.
“Auntie, thank you.” Owen expressed his sincere gratitude to Renee.
Renee stroke his head, “You are welcome. Look at you. You’ll be a gentleman when you grow up. Many girls will take a fancy to you!”
“I’ll love a girl devotedly.”
“Well.” Renee was stunned. Even a kid was constant in love. It was sarcastic that Callum, that two-timer, didn’t know it. Renee shook her head to stop thinking about Callum. She raised her head and met Miyamoto’s thoughtful gaze, “Thank you for your help.”
“You are welcome.” He said indifferently, turned around and walked to the private room.
Renee sighed and thought that she was the bitchiest. Otherwise, how could she fall in love with Callum?
“After a halt to stock trading and some bad news spread, I am worried that the company’s share prices will fall when the market opens.” Arthur was talking about business with Vincent.
Miyamoto, Renee and Owen walked in together.
Before Vincent spoke, Miyamoto sat down and looked up to Vincent, “I can invest 1 billion yuan to your company to help you get through this crisis? What’s your opinion?”
Hearing that, everyone was stunned.
Vincent was also surprised and raised her eyebrows, “You’re going to help me?”
“Miyamoto, why are you so kind?” Arthur said in a mocking tone.
Miyamoto fell into deep thoughts and raised his head after a few minutes. He said to Vincent, “I’ve evaluated your company. Frankly, if your company was not capitalized, you would not get through this crisis, so I decide to help you.”
“What do you want?” Vincent put on a thoughtful look. He didn’t think that he would pay no price.
“I want the land west of your resort.” Miyamoto stared at Vincent.
“The bid price of that land is 1 billion. It’s now worth 1. 2 billion. Why do you think that I’ll give it to you?” Vincent said calmly, “Businessmen don’t undertake non-profit business. That’s true. You even covet that land!”
“Yes, I only want it.” Miyamoto was resolute. “Give me the land. 1 billion will be into your account at once.”
“That land is full of potential. As long as it’s developed, many investors will be attracted. So, it’s another way to gain capital. As long as I announce it will be developed, I can get 1 billion very soon. Moreover, even if I want to sell that land, I don’t have to sell it to you at such a low price.”
Miyamoto took the cup on the table and took a sip of the tea, “It’s up to you. I don’t have to buy it anyway.”
Leila frowned slightly. Did Miyamoto take this advantage to get that land?
“I won’t sell it.” Vincent affirmed.
“Can the White Group give enough funds for such a large-scale project?” Miyamoto continued.
“Let’s not talk about business at the table. Let’s have lunch.” Vincent prevented Miyamoto from talking more.
Arthur and Vincent exchanged glances. Arthur smiled, “Miyamoto, you are good at playing different roles. You can do well in both underworld and business field.”
Miyamoto rolled his eyes and said bitterly, “I cannot succeed in doing everything, such as making my relationship go smoothly.”
Hearing that, people present was moved. We could become leading roles in all kinds of fields, but we may get obstacles in the path of pursuing love, because love was unpredictable.
“You are right. Love is hard to get.” Arthur said and threw a glimpse at Leila who leaned against Vincent like a good bird.
Renee’s eyes darkened.
Love was hard to get! That was true.
Leila also had that feeling. It was uneasy for her and Vincent to get together and go through all that trouble.
When Leila picked up her phone to answer Theodore’s call, she just visited her father, walked out of the hospital and was in the backyard of the hospital, since the driver parked the car at the gate of the backyard. She rushed over but her phone rang.
“Leila, this is Theodore. I want to talk to you. I’m in the car 10 meters in front of you.”
Leila frowned and glanced at that car in the backyard. She saw someone wave his hand. Leila walked over and saw Theodore. He sat in a luxurious touring car.
“Theodore?” Leila was surprised.
“Get in.” Theodore said.
“Welcome back.” Leila smiled and got into the touring car. Theodore became more mature, dressed in high-end handmade suit that fit him and foil his tall figure.
Leila was stunned slightly when seeing Theodore. She smiled at him politely, “What’s up?”
Theodore looked up, glanced at Leila for a few seconds and turned his gaze to the scenery outside the window. He said in a deep voice, “Leila, I heard that Vincent’s company was in crisis.”
Leila was surprised. “How do you know that?”
Theodore didn’t explain but lit up the cigarette with a lighter. The sound of the lid being opened was very clear and broke the silence.
He took a puff and blew out smoke.
The smoke was in front of his eyes and his handsome face became hazy. However, his gaze was still sharp and he was staring at her as if he had seen her through.
Leila felt something wrong. Theodore seemed to appear in front of her with a noble identity.
“I heard that Silver Breeze bought 10% of the shares of the White Group and Vincent’s mother planned to sell another 20%.” Theodore said in a deep voice, showing how shrewd he was.
Hearing that, Leila remained silent and frowned. She was wondering how he knew it.
She had nothing to say with Theodore. Though his words were implying something, she could not get it.
“I don’t know how to do business. I don’t want to ask about it. I believe Vincent can handle it well.” Leila smiled lightly. With that said, she was about to get off the car.
With a cigarette in hand, Theodore frowned and said, “I didn’t expect that you would be with him after he dealt with your family. Don’t you feel guilty about what you’ve done to your sister?”
“What do you mean?” Leila paused and looked at him in confusion.
“I just worry about you.” Theodore said calmly.
Leila sneered, “Theodore, I’ve made my point. Thank you for your kindness. I’ll go if there’s nothing else!”
Theodore saw her disdainful expression, but he could not help but get close to her. Why did she still attract him like a magnet after so long?
Theodore thought that she had broken up with Vincent!
He didn’t expect them to be together. She was so independent that she kept away from others. He liked her delicate and beautiful face, and charming figure wrapped by T-shirt and jeans. She was so beautiful that he couldn’t take his eyes from her.
He liked Leila, that cool girl in campus, who was indifferent to him and refused to betray her husband.
“You don’t want to know the boss of Silver Breeze?” The moment Leila got off the car, Theodore said.
Leila had to stop, “Who?”
“My wife!”
“You got married?” Leila was shocked.
“Yes!”
Leila was stunned, “Your wife bought 10% of the shares of the White Group?”
“Yes!”
“Why?” Leila’s lips moved and felt quite suffocated, “Theodore, why did your wife buy the shares? Did you require her to do so?”
“What do you think?” Theodore chuckled, threw a cold gaze and said, “To make it clearer, I did that. I will buy the other 30% percent of shares of White Group soon. Vincent only has 35%. Arthur has 15%. As long as Nora sells 20% to me, the other shareholders will support me. I may have the same number of shares as Vincent and Arthur.”
Leila was stunned. Theodore was crazy!
Though she didn’t know what it meant, she felt it terrible. She didn’t want to talk nonsense but remained calm. She didn’t want to be upset by his words. “Have you finished? Can I go out?”
Staring at her soft and fair face, Theodore took a puff and squinted. He sneered, “Do you look down upon me?”
Leila turned a cold gaze at him and smiled, “Yes, I despise you!”
She was so thin, but she had a strong vibe at this moment. She smiled at him and said in a calm and rational tone, “Nothing will change even if you have the same shares as Vincent does. Vincent and Arthur can obtain achievements by themselves no matter what business they are in. How about you? You can only live off a woman. Will your wife let you do whatever you want?”
