Chapter 88 A Pleasant Cooperation

“Seeing that I was doubtful, Sean just smiled and said no more. When we saw each other a decade later, he had made his fortune in software systems, and I was still learning the

ropes.”

“Software systems?”

“Oh, that’s right. The Mullen family has turned to showbiz and finance for some time now. What I’m talking about is something more than ten years ago. After Sean made the first 16 million dollars in his life, he quit while he was ahead and set his sights on the financial world. Back then, I was so envious of him, so I asked him to give me some

suggestions.

“He smiled enigmatically and pointed to the TV hanging on the wall of the private room. Two hosts on TV were doing a law show.”

“I’m done, Grandpa.”

Luciana organized the reports and handed them to him.

“Instantly, I knew what he meant. Then I immediately set about building the current Lionale Law Firm,” Conrad continued as he took the reports.

Only then did Amelie realize how talented Sean was when it came to business.

“I still remember what Sean said. Business is about finding demand, but more

importantly, creating it.”

Conrad sighed and looked out of the window without speaking for a long time.

The three people in the room were silent for a long time, and in the end, it was Luciana

who broke the silence.

“Grandpa, I’ve been through both of these reports. As Ms. Mullen said, the company’s growth prospects are promising, and it doesn’t have excess financial liabilities. The

company’s risk rating is tentatively A.”

“Alright.”

Conrad nodded with satisfaction and looked at Luciana with a smile. “Look carefully. Don’t let your relationship with Ms. Mullen cloud your judgment.”

“That won’t happen. I was looking at these two documents with strict principles.” Luciana curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

“You girl.” Conrad poked her forehead helplessly. “You think I can’t do anything with you because you’re the only child, don’t you?”

Although it sounded like he was blaming her, Amelie could tell that his tone was full of pride and love.

The negotiation lasted more than an hour, and the progress of cooperation was surprisingly smooth. Conrad was very satisfied with the proposal that Amelie prepared, and they would officially sign the contract in a week.

Before leaving, Conrad stretched out his hand to Amelie.

“Ms. Mullen, since Sean passed away, our families have drifted away. I sincerely hope that this cooperation will promote exchanges between our families and renew our friendship.”

“Sure thing!”

The two shook hands, and Amelie got up to send him off.

One after the other, Conrad and Luciana got in the black car they had arrived in and disappeared down the sunlit road.

“Luciana, both of you come from a noble family. When can you learn to do your own

business like Amelie?” Conrad sighed.

“Stop! Stop, Grandpa!”

Luciana looked over his shoulder at the fast–passing street scenery. “We agreed, didn’t we? If my career as an artist has no improvement in ten years, then I’ll go home and take over the business. You are the pillar of our family, right?”

Luciana thought, I’m a bit envious of Amelie. She has six brothers, and any of them can inherit the family business. She gets to do anything she likes.

“Easy for you to say! I’m an old man. When something happens to me, you will have to take over!”

“Phooey! Phooey! Phooey!”

Luciana quickly turned around and covered his mouth. “Old man, what the heck are you talking about? I’ve found a fortuneteller before. He said you still have at least fifty years

to live.”

Conrad grinned.

He did not say anything. Instead, he was just staring at the emerald on his walking stick, lost in thought.

Beep!

Amelie was still in the coffee shop, thinking about the upcoming cooperation’s direction. Suddenly, her thoughts were interrupted by a call.

“Aaron?”

“Amelie, come to the hospital now! Rex has been insisting on leaving the hospital no matter what we said. I’m afraid you’re the only one who can persuade him now.”

Before she could ask what was going on, Aaron had already hung up the phone.

Without time to think much, Amelie immediately packed up the reports and rushed

downstairs.

Since she was so anxious, she bumped into a man at the corner of the stairs.

“Uh… I’m sorry!”

After saying that, she left hastily.

“Hey! You… dropped something.”

The man held a small card and shouted in the direction she left. However, a group of old men was passing on their way upstairs, so his voice was drowned out in their loud talk.

“Starry Sea Entertainment?”

The man looked with interest at the description on the card.

“Mr. Capet!”

Two bodyguards came up to him with anxious faces. “If you keep running around, we will be blamed by your parents once we lose track of you.”

“I’m here for some coffee. Go and do some digging about this company, Starry Sea Entertainment.” The man who was called Mr. Capet threw the business card at them.

The two looked at each other, standing in situ without moving.

“What is it? I’m a grown man. Do you think I will get lost?” The man’s tone instantly

became cold.

“Not at all. We are on it.”

Of course, Amelie was unaware of any of their conversation. She stepped on the accelerator and arrived at the hospital.

“Not until you recover!”

“Stop being so stubborn!”

Amelie had hardly entered the ward when she heard noisy quarrels coming from inside.

After she pushed open the door, she saw that Rex was being held by Daron and Tyler, and Aaron was standing in front of them with a sullen face.

“Rex…”

Amelie walked in tentatively.

“Amelie!”

Rex’s eyes had long turned red, and his voice was a lot hoarse because of the loud

quarrels. “Tell me! Is it true that I can’t return to the organization?” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Amelie thought, sure enough. That’s what this fuzz is about.

Amelie tried hard to smile and walked over to sit beside Rex.

“Rex, don’t think about that now. You just came out of surgery…”

“Answer me!”

Rex was practically roaring.

Seeing Rex like that, no matter how many things Amelie wanted to say, she couldn’t utter a word.

She thought, for as long as I can remember, Rex has always been staying out of home for a long time.

In other words, Rex has been working in that mysterious organization for more than twenty years. For him, his peers in the organization may be more familiar to him than us, his family.

Now he has suddenly been told that he can’t return to the organization. I don’t think anyone can handle that well.

“Yes. It’s hard for you to continue to do a high–pressure job with your current condition.” Amelie heaved a sigh of relief and decided to be straightforward with him.

“Amelie…”

Rex murmured. His scarlet eyes gradually dimmed.

Rex thought, yes, I already knew that, actually.

Even before the vacation, I had a vague feeling that something was wrong with my

body, but I had been reluctant to face it.
