Chapter 43 Crystal Necklace
At that moment, behind a screen, a man heard their conversation.
This person was none other than Steve Collins. He narrowed his eyes slightly. Ethan, who had always prioritized profit above all else, had terminated all cooperation with the Davis Family for Kristen.
Steve smirked. “Don’t tell me that my unreasonable little brother has fallen in love with Kristen? Interesting, very interesting.”
Steve put down the coffee in his hand and stood up without hesitation. Just when Sheldon was about to leave, a voice resounded from behind him.
“Mr. Davis, can we talk?”
……
When Sheldon returned home, Taylor and Jason hurriedly surrounded him.
“Dad, how is it? Did she agree to leave?” Taylor asked anxiously.
“No.” Sheldon shook his head and fell into deep thought. Then he said slowly, “Taylor, will you give up Ethan?”
When Taylor heard this, she was stunned. “Dad, what are you talking about? I can’t give up on him!”
Ever since she met Ethan at a banquet at the age of twenty, she had fallen in love at first sight. It had been three years, and she had tried all kinds of ways to get close to him. She would never give up.
“He’s been with Kristen for a year. Did you know? Ethan was helping Kristen with the matter on the Internet. It’s also possible that he ordered your accident at the Rocky Mountain. Is such a man worthy of your love?”
After hearing his words, Taylor fell onto the sofa and said in a trembling voice, “Have they been together for a year?”
Therefore, the person behind Kristen had always been Ethan. At this moment, Taylor felt like she was a joke in front of Kristen and she was shedding tears.
Jason felt sorry for his sister and tried to persuade her. “That’s right, sis. It’s been three years and he’s never given you any response. Just give up. You’re a well-educated and polite woman of the Davis family. It’s not a problem for you to find any man.”
Sheldon recalled what Steve had just said and did not intend to hide it. He said directly to the two, “the Collins Group and TNK Group are not as simple as they seem. I just met Steve Collins. the Collins Group and TNK Group are not going to give up until they achieve their goal. Do you think TNK Group can defeat Steve, who has a hundred-year foundation?”
Taylor paused. Part of the reason she liked Ethan was because of her vanity. She wanted to be the superior wife of TNK Group’s CEO.
Jason frowned slightly. “Dad, are you planning to cooperate with the Collins Group? Is that why you want my sister to give up on Ethan?”
“Yes, Ethan has terminated all cooperation with us, so I naturally have to find a way out for myself.”
Taylor sighed. She wiped her tears as if she had made up her mind.
Moments later, she said slowly, “Dad, I can give up Ethan, but I won’t let Kristen off!”
She must be better than Kristen!
“Dad promises you, Kristen is alone. As long as Ethan no longer has feelings for her, she will have no one to rely on. When the time comes, you can do whatever you want.”
Right at this moment, Jason seemed to have thought of something. “Sister, I have a plan…”
……
Kristen didn’t know that she had become the target of someone else’s plan. After leaving the cafe, she went to TNK Group and took a private elevator from the garage to the top floor.
Before she entered the office, a woman in a professional suit came out. Kristen, who was wearing a mask and sunglasses, felt that she looked familiar. “Where have I seen her before?”
Their eyes met and they brushed past each other without saying a word. Kristen walked into the office and thought for a moment before remembering. “Wasn’t she one of the people who exposed Jason on the Internet?”
This woman’s name was Kara Baker. She was a female streamer. Jason wanted to pursue her back then, but she never agreed. Later, she was banned from the industry. She stood up for herself only after Kristen exposed Jason.
“Why was she here at TNK Group?” Thought Kristen.
Just as she was wondering why, the voices of Ethan and Jacob came from outside the door.
“President, there’s going to be a shareholders’ meeting later. You’ve terminated your cooperation with the Davis Family. I’m afraid…”
“It’s okay.”
Ethan said coldly. He pushed open the office door and his expression softened when he saw Kristen.
“Is the meeting over?”
Kristen nodded and walked over. She tugged on the sleeve and asked worriedly, “Would it affect the company if you suddenly terminated all cooperation with the Davis Family? I’m worried that you’ll be put in a difficult position at the shareholders’ meeting.”
“Worried about me?” Ethan played with her hair with a faint smile.
“That’s right. I’m afraid that if you go bankrupt, you won’t have enough money to buy a bag for me in the future.” Kristen blinked her eyes. “Why don’t you restore the cooperation with the Davis Family? We don’t have to do things that harm others without benefiting ourselves.”
Hearing this, Ethan felt a little embarrassed.
“Don’t worry. we won’t go bankrupt. I can afford to support you.”
With that, he walked to his desk, took out a box from the drawer, and handed it to Kristen.
“You bought me a gift again?”
Kristen took it and said with a smile, “Did you buy me a gift again? It’s a CAER’s product?”
Gavin’s brand.
“Well, didn’t you say you liked this brand very much before?”
Kristen opened it and saw a crystal necklace. The black gemstone sparkled under the light, looking pure and mysterious.
“It’s really beautiful. How much does it cost?” Kristen exclaimed. She had always paid attention to Gavin’s brand. This was neither the new product nor the old style. It was estimated that it was custom-made by Ethan.
It looks like another man earned a lot of money from Ethan…
Ethan did not answer her. Instead, he picked up the necklace and helped her put it on.
“Thank you, my honey!”
After putting it on, Kristen turned around and hooked her arms around his neck, giving him a gentle kiss on the lips.
She was about to ask Ethan why he was so nice to her during this period, but at this time, someone knocked on the door. It was Jacob.
“President, it’s time for the meeting.”
Ethan touched her head and said, “Wait for me here. Let’s have dinner together after the meeting. Tell Jacob what you want to drink.”
“Okay, go ahead.”
After Ethan left, Kristen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the floor in boredom. She stretched her back. At this moment, the phone in her bag rang. It was Trisha Sylvie.
“Hello, Sylv? What’s wrong?”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Kristen asked casually. Although Trisha was in Nangania, as usual, she was out of reach.
“I’m injured. Do you have an apartment in Nangania? Please tell me the address.”
Kristen’s expression changed when she heard the cold and weak voice.
