A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 131

Lily's words are very intimidating to Chloe. "You..." Chloe doesn't know what to say. Lily doesn't want to waste time on her anymore, so she left.

It's not until Lily has driven away that Chloe comes to her senses and realizes that she is so intimidated by Lily. She screams and stomps her feet in anger.

She wants to put Lily down, but why is she bullied by Lily?

Damn it!

At Lily's command, several reporters quietly release the news about President Duke Davis of Beta Company, which causes a great sensation on the Internet within a few hours.

It’s too late for Beta's public relations department to contact reporters to block the news. The police have gone to Beta Company to arrest Duke. Reporters photograph the scene of Mr. Duke Davis being taken away. Beta is on the brink of the storm, and its stock plummets to the limit on the third day.

As the public attention is attracted by the Beta affair, the Smith Group quietly withdraws from the limelight. Some high-level officials fly to some remote and underdeveloped places to do public welfare activities, so as to stabilize the stock.

Maybe it was because Lily taught her a hard lesson that night; Chloe also knows that the Smith Group is more important. So, when she follows the crew to promote the new film, she indicates that she has agreed to star a documentary about the growth of children in the remote areas with no income. Her team also advertises that she had donated tens of millions to build schools in several underdeveloped areas.

Chloe's beautiful appearance has attracted many fans. With this news, many people supported Chloe, and some rich people directly buy stocks of the Smith Group.

With the help of so many people, the Smith Group's shares rise slowly.

During this period of time, Lily has been busy with the Smith Group's affairs. Not only does she deal with outside affairs, she also has to calm down and appease the anxious shareholders.

After the Smith Group's stock stabilizes, she feels relieved. Sitting on the chair, she flips through her Instagram and sees Chloe's video of promoting the movie.

Fortunately, Chloe is not stupid and knows to use her status and fans to help the Smith Group.

Lily feels regretted at the thought of Chloe giving her the check that night.

Regardless of who the "boyfriend" is Chloe mentions. Isn't she unclear whether she has boyfriend? Why was she tearing up the check of 20 million? It is so stupid.

"Huh?" Seeing a familiar figure in the video, Lily immediately sits up in her chair, switches back the video, and pauses to take a closer look.

The video is released by the official website so it is of high definition. Although the man is wearing a hat and mask, his figure and silhouette is almost the same as Coffey.

How did Coffey end up in a place like this?

The video can't be enlarged more. Lily squints and is about to take another closer look when someone knocks on the door.

"Miss Lily, what are you doing?"

As soon as she looks up, she sees Mr. Smith standing at the door of the office. She quickly puts down her cell phone and goes to meet him. "Mr. Smith, you can call me Lily.”

She gives up her comfortable chair to Mr. Smith.

Mr. Smith waves his hand and sits down on the wicker chair opposite her. He puts the insulated bucket on the table and talks to Lily. "Are you busy with the company these days?"

"Yes, everybody is busy!" Lily smiles slightly and says, "The PR department is the busiest. Miss Chloe has helped us a lot in calming down the affairs so fast."

Mr. Smith nods, "Chloe, that girl is always arrogant, but she still knows what should be put on the priority. She did a good job this time, but you worked the hardest."

"I know you have to deal with the shareholders other than the Smith Group." Mr. Smith says, "The acting President has to deal with a lot of tricky things."

Lily has been in the workplace for so long. What she meets is more of calculation. Except for her previous minister Leon, no one cares about her so much. Hearing Mr. Louis's words, she feels that the exhaustion in her heart is wiped out.

"Here, try the pigeon soup." Mr. Smith opens the bottle and smiles. "The cook at home is very good at making soups, and Louis loves it the best. He always has two bowls when he comes home."

"Thank you. Take a seat. I'll do it." After all, Mr. Smith cares about her, and Lily does not refuse him. Seeing that he has already filled the bowl, she quickly takes the soup.

The pigeon soup smells so good.

Lily takes a sip and her eyes light up. "It's really delicious," she says, "Thank you for bringing me the soup, Mr. Smith."

"You are welcome." Mr. Smith waves his hand and looks at her with a gentle, tender look, like looking at his own child. "If you like it, I will send the cook to the Smith Group. Anyway, there is someone in charge of your meals. No one else will gossip about it."

"Thank you, Mr. Smith, but it is not necessary." Lily laughs, “The chefs Mr. Louis has assigned to us are all from five-star hotels, and the cooking is excellent."

When Lily says that, Mr. Smith has to give up.

Mr. Smith chats with Lily for a while, and then talks about the hot pot meal, feeling regretted, "Well, if I had come to the Smith Group earlier, maybe I will recognize you."

"I didn't expect you to work at the Smith Group and Louis trusts you so much."

Lily is a little embarrassed to hear him say that.

After all, she has been married to Jason, and she did not expect that Mr. Smith is Louis’s father.

Suddenly, Mr. Smith asks, "Lily, do you like Louis?"

“Ahem! Lily chokes by his words. She quickly draws two tissues to wipe the corners of her mouth. Her ears turn red out of embarrassment. "Mr. Smith, I respect Mr. Louis very much."

"Just respect. Don't you like him?" Mr. Smith persists.

Lily nods awkwardly. "I am very grateful that Mr. Louis trusts me, but he is my boss. Mr. Louis has a good vision, and Miss Stella is gentle and beautiful."

Mr. Smith is somewhat disappointed.

Well, Stella is nice and dutiful, and she often visits him, but only Louis likes her. Lily is his favorite daughter-in-law as she's nice and smart.

It's a pity that...

Mr. Smith doesn't stay here long. The hospital calls and asks him to go to the hospital for check. Lily sends Mr. Smith out and arranges for Meghan to drive Mr. Smith to the hospital.

"Lily, you may consider it." Mr. Smith doesn't give up even before leaving, and says to Lily, "My son is really good. He is good-looking. He has no bad habits, and he has a lot of assets."

"Louis is five or six years older than you, but he is mature in every way, and you don't need to teach him. He is dozens of times better than Jason. It won't hurt you."

Lily forces a smile. "Ok, please go with Meghan to the hospital."

After Meghan leaves with Mr. Smith, Lily also comes into the office. She turns around so fast that she doesn't notice that Meghan looks back at her. She feels embarrassed to hear Mr. Smith’s words.

With Louis’s status, if he wants to get married, there is no shortage of excellent girls. In a word, Mr. Smith is afraid that he cannot get a wife, so he is like a salesman to marry his son out.

What a lovely and open-minded Mr. Smith.
