"Send her overseas?"
"Yes, you need to be prepared. He won’t let you see Eleanor and William easily again."
After expressing her gratitude to Maya Chant on the other end of the phone, Chloe Sullivan finally hung up.
Chloe clutched her cell phone tightly, her knuckles turning white from the excessive force.
Her face was grim.
With a furious swing of her arm, Chloe swept all the items on her desk to the floor.
"James Thompson actually plans to send Eleanor and William abroad!" Chloe’s voice was filled with rage.
Tears slid uncontrollably down her cheeks; that man was truly heartless.
Why did that despicable woman, Julia Land, have to come back to life!
Just wait and see!
She wouldn’t let them get away with it!
Their dreams of living happily ever after? Not a chance!
*
The next morning.
Chloe, looking haggard, went to the Bell Family’s home.
Madame Bell was startled by Chloe’s gaunt appearance and asked with concern and apprehension, "Little Chloe, what happened?"
As soon as Madame Bell began to ask, Chloe couldn’t control herself and hugged her, sobbing, "Godmother."
"Oh dear, why the tears? What happened? Tell godmother quickly."
Madame Bell asked with a heartache, turning her head towards Connor Bell, with a hint of confusion clearly displayed in their eyes.
"Godmother, James Thompson is going to send Eleanor and William overseas. He... how can he be so cruel! The children are still so young, and he won’t let me see Eleanor anymore."
Chloe cried so bitterly that she broke free from Madame Bell’s embrace, her eyes misty and choked with sobs.
Madame Bell furrowed her brows, "Little Chloe, don’t panic, sit down and tell me slowly. Why does James Thompson suddenly want to send Eleanor and William out of the country?"
Choking up, Chloe wiped away her tears, her voice trembling, "Godmother, yesterday at Pearwill Restaurant, I should have apologized to Eleanor and to Julia Land and her daughter on their behalf."
Madame Bell’s expression turned stern in an instant, "Is James Thompson seeking revenge for Julia Land and her daughter? The incident at the restaurant wasn’t Eleanor’s fault to begin with. Why should our Eleanor humble herself to apologize?"
"That girl bumped into Eleanor and fell over by herself, we didn’t fuss over it, what is he fussing about!"
"It’s utterly preposterous; Eleanor is his daughter too!"
Madame Bell had never seen such a scoundrel.
Chloe covered her eyes, "It’s all too late now, he’s suddenly decided to send Eleanor and William abroad. They’re so young and are about to leave me for a foreign country. I really can’t bear it."
Madame Bell gently patted Chloe’s shoulder, her brow furrowed in comfort, "Little Chloe, don’t be sad, we’ll figure something out together, I can’t bear to part with the children either."
Madame Bell looked to Connor Bell, motioning for him to speak.
Connor Bell nodded, pondering for a moment before saying, "Little Chloe, calm down first, I’ll have a talk with James Thompson."
Chloe shook her head, "It’s no use, even Uncle Thompson can’t persuade James Thompson. He’s determined not to let Eleanor and William get in the way of Julia Land and her daughter."
"I was thinking of going directly to Julia Land to talk, but she probably doesn’t want to see me."
The more Chloe spoke, the more bitter she sounded.
Madame Bell held Chloe’s hand, "Stop crying. If we can’t talk to James Thompson, then I will talk to Julia Land."
She refused to believe it.
Chloe took a deep breath, trying hard to compose herself, and wiped away her tears, looking gratefully at Madame Bell and Connor Bell, "Godmother, godfather, I’m so glad you’re here. If all else fails, I’ll take Eleanor to apologize to Julia Land myself."
Madame Bell was truly disgusted with Julia Land. A small quarrel between two children, and yet it led to James Thompson sending the children overseas.
How ruthless.
She picked up the phone and called Maxwell Bell, her words tinged with anger, "Arthur, do a favor for your aunt, please call Julia Land for me, I want to meet with her tomorrow."
Maxwell Bell, a bit puzzled, casually asked, "Aunt, what do you need from Julia Land?"
Madame Bell scoffed curtly, "James Thompson wants to send Eleanor and the others overseas; he’s taking revenge for Julia Land and her daughter."
"James Thompson and Julia Land?" Maxwell Bell, always busy with the company affairs, wasn’t aware of these details. He had another meeting soon and didn’t have time to delve deeper into the conversation, "Aunt, I’ll call Julia Land later."
Julia Land was somewhat surprised when she received a call from Maxwell Bell.
She waited for him to finish.
Why would Madame Bell suddenly want to see her?
Julia Land checked with Assistant Scott about her schedule for tomorrow and agreed to meet with Madame Bell.
They set a time and place.
After hanging up the phone, Julia Land stroked her chin, pondering. She guessed Madame Bell wanted to talk about Chloe Sullivan.
"The Chairman, the CEO of Asia Cloud Group, Isaac, has arrived," Assistant Scott recorded Julia Land’s itinerary for the next day and looked at his watch, "His car is about to arrive at the Moore Family’s place."
"Let’s go, descend to receive our distinguished guest, the materials are prepared."
"Ready."
Julia Land personally going down to receive the CEO of Asia Cloud Group indicated the importance of this collaboration between the two companies.
Isaac stepped out of the car; he was tall and embodied a Westerner’s physique, handsome features.
"Welcome, Mr. Isaac, good to see you."
"Hello, Ms. Land."
They shook hands politely and made small talk as they walked into the company.
Inside the conference room.
Isaac sat calmly at the other end of the conference table.
His gaze was sharp as he looked at the documents in his hand.
The Moore Family and Asia Cloud were negotiating an important business cooperation.
It was an agreement regarding cloud computing development.
And Julia Land, sitting opposite him, was dressed in a dark-colored business suit today.
Her demeanor exuded composure.
This cooperation wasn’t simple.
They took turns engaging in business negotiations, a battle of wits.
Since it was a partnership, there were many aspects involved.
Isaac hadn’t expected Julia Land to be so tough.
Every one of her questions was well-thought-out, and she was also well aware of the hidden risks.
Honestly, because of the Moore Family’s newly appointed Chairwoman, Isaac originally didn’t plan to choose to cooperate with the Moore Group, intending only a preliminary discussion today.
But now, he might have to seriously consider the Moore Group.
"Mr. Isaac, if we collaborate, it will involve the long-term development of our two companies, and I will consider every detail in the negotiations carefully."
"I’m very optimistic about the future trends of cloud computing."
Julia Land’s statements consistently revealed a sense of calm and collectedness.
Isaac looked at Julia Land with profound eyes.
This cloud computing project negotiation wouldn’t possibly be concluded today.
During dinner, as the hostess, Julia Land invited Isaac to dine with her.
Isaac opened the car door for Julia Land, saying gentlemanly, "I’ve always wanted to try Chinese cuisine."
Julia Land smiled, bowed, and got into the car first. She had Assistant Scott book a Chinese restaurant and turned to Isaac, "You’ll get to try Chinese dishes in a bit."
Isaac responded with a polite smile.
Julia Land led Isaac into the Chinese restaurant and coincidentally ran into James Thompson.
Julia Land pretended she wasn’t familiar with James Thompson as she passed by him.
