A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 183

"Louis, I brought dozens of people to build a pool for you in the middle of the night. Shouldn't we get paid?" Leigh grumbles, "I didn't even ask you for an overtime pay!"

"No."

Leigh cries and then shouts, "Louis, are you kidding?"

"I'm serious," Louis says coldly, "Also, I suddenly want to plant flowers again. Bring back the flowers you dug up and plant them in the yard outside the villa."

"Louis, don't make fun of me." After Jessie picked out the flowers she liked, he threw away all the other flowers. They probably already died a long time ago. "Did I do something wrong? Just tell me!" Leigh cries.

Louis just says, "I know all the flowers I planted. Plant them back in three days. If I find one flower missing, you'll be screwed."

"Louis, I'm wrong. Please spare me!"

Leigh shouts for a long time, but there is no sound from the other side. Seeing that the phone has been hung up, he throws himself onto a chair with an expression of despair.

He hasn't met Louis recently, why Louis suddenly hates him?

--

Lily takes a few days off and returns to the Smith Group freshly. Meghan comes to meet her with a solemn expression.

"What's wrong?" Lily asked.

"Here." Meghan gives her some documents.

Lily flips through the documents and her expression turns gloomy immediately. She did not expect that Richard would actually sell all the primitive shares he had painstakingly collected, and the price was directly made public.

And the buyer is John.

"Damn it!" Lily curses and closes the document holder heavily.

What is Richard doing? Why does he suddenly sell his shares at such a low price? To John? Does he reach some sort of agreement with him?

Meghan secretly glances at Lily and says calmly, "President Lily, apart from Master Smith, this Mr. Dawn has the most shares in the Smith Group."

Lily closes her eyes and says, "OK, I get it. You can leave."

When there is Lily alone, she flips through the documents again and thinks of the chicken soup and the card that John sent over.

The reason why he keeps that card is because he knows that after he accepts the Smith Group's shares, she will definitely come to see him.

After being away for a few years, he has even more wicked tricks.

Three hours later, Lily takes out a business card from the drawer and makes a phone call.

The call is to John. "How about French food? See you in Friday Restaurant at seven o'clock in the evening," John says straightforwardly.

Lily answers, "Alright."

This call does not change Lily's mood. Soon, she is busy at the meetings as usual. After she gets off work, she sends a message to Louis and heads to the restaurant.

Lily is led by the waiter to the dining hall and sees John sitting by the window.

"Long time no see."

John stands up and gives her a hug. He wears a white shirt with a grey vest and a pair of grey trousers. He looks elegant and noble.

Lily is not accustomed to being hugged, and her body stiffs slightly.

The man gently pulls the chair for Lily. Lily thanks him and sits down. She then notices that there is a bunch of white camellias with fresh fragrance on the table.

John seems to like camellias very much. There are always camellias beside him, and he usually gives her that flowers. He can never get tired of smelling them.

John hands her the menu and says, "Order whatever you like."

"Mr. Dawn, I'm not here to eat," Lily says and wants to put the menu aside.

John holds her hand firmly and says, "We can't talk without having dinner, right?"

Lily has no choice but to open the menu and casually orders a few dishes. Only then does John's expression improve.

After the waiter serves the appetizer soup, Lily takes out a contract from her bag and pushes it to John, saying, "Three million yuan and two houses in Cloud City and Tourmaline Community."

She has won these two houses from President Scott. Lucy still owes her four million yuan, but Lily won't have bothered asking her for that money, because she is afraid that Lucy may make a false countercharge.

Lily says, "You know the Smith Group's situation. It is impossible for you to save it from the dead. The shares in your hands may one day become a pile of waste papers."

"I can buy the shares of the Smith Group in your hands at a normal price. If you want, the money and houses in this contract will be yours. This is our private transaction."

John smiles and asks her, "So, President Smith can't hold on any longer?"

"Yes," Lily purses her lips and says, "He is so sick that he has been resting at home. Otherwise, he won't let me help run the company."

"Darling, it's only been three years. Why do you become so stupid!" John leans towards her and says gloomily, "Is that what I taught you in the past? Being a henchman?"

"My name is not Darling."

John stares at her tightly and says in a cold voice, "Even if you change your name, what can you prove? Can you feel free? He just lost a pair of legs in a car accident. Do you have to feel distressed?"

Thinking that the woman he taught becomes so stupid, he is furious. "Why did Louis surrender the Smith Group, allowing Richard and the others to buy its shares? Is he a fool?"

"As the Smith Group collapses like that, it's reasonable for shareholders to sell their original shares," Lily says, "He doesn't need to take bets on his life with everyone."

"What if that's the case?"

Lily purses her lips fiercely, unable to refute.

Seeing her like this, John laughs and says, "Look, you even suspect that he might do this. It's all lies. Why can he be forgiven?"

"I don't want to rake up the past." Lily's expression is calm. "Mr. Dawn, do you want this transaction?" she asks.

"No," John refused, "I know what Louis is thinking. After the Smith Group's shuffle, I can become the second largest shareholder of the Smith Group. Why should I give up such a good chance?"

He is telling the truth. After the Smith Group's shuffle, these shares will worth a lot.

If John becomes a shareholder of the Smith Group...

Lily does not dare to think about it. She is silent for a long time, and then she looks at John, saying, "Mr. Dawn, what do you want if I need you to sell the Smith Group's shares in your hands."

John says, "Come back with me to Country Y."

"John, I'm not your toy!" Lily directly gets up and says, "Take the shares. I don't want them anymore!"

She is leaving, but John suddenly says behind her, "Accompany me to Hanchi for a week. After returning, I will give you the shares for free."

Lily stops.

She really wants to refuse, but she can't let go of the Smith Group's shares.

John notices her hesitation, he adds, "I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do. I just need someone to walk around with me."

Lily hesitates whether to refuse or agree. The scene of the car accident flashes through her mind and she can't help but curse in her heart.

In the end, she sits back and faces John.
