Chapter 344 - 343

Chapter 344: Chapter 343

Jonah Wiles and Ivy River exchanged glances.

Neither wanted to speak first.

Gale Wiles hesitated for a moment before saying, "Dad, last night Ivy had something to attend to, so she couldn’t come..."

"Care to explain what you were busy with? Why couldn’t I reach Leon’s phone either? What kind of big business were you involved in?"

Jonah Wiles sneered.

He knew things weren’t that simple.

"I called the company yesterday. You didn’t go back for the meeting. What on earth were you doing, Gale Wiles?"

"And you, Ivy River, you sent me a message before heading out saying you’d made soup for me. Where’s the soup, where’s the person?"

Hearing Jonah Wiles’ relentless questioning, Ivy River sighed helplessly.

"Last night, I had a sudden meeting with Leon, Noah, and Grace. You can check if you don’t believe me. I have shares in Jade, and I’m a bit talented in design, you know that, Dad."

Jonah Wiles nodded, "Right, I know. So where’s my soup?"

"Isn’t the soup you’re drinking now the soup I made? I couldn’t bring it to you last night because things came up suddenly, and I had to attend to them first."

Ivy River continued to bluff.

"Why didn’t you call to tell me? Not even a minute to make a phone call? Just say what really happened."

Seeing the old man wasn’t easy to fool, Ivy River continued, "Charlotte Yeaton can verify. I gave her two new pieces of clothing before, so she reached out to me last night."

"Really?" Jonah Wiles looked skeptical and directly said, "Gale Wiles, call Old Man Yeaton. I’ll ask him myself."

"Dad, Charlotte was with me last night, asking Uncle Yeaton won’t help, it’s useless."

Ivy River kindly reminded.

Jonah Wiles snorted, "I’m worried you’ll cook up some story if you use your phone. I’ll have Old Yeaton ask Charlotte directly."

With that said, he showed the cunning of the old fox, turning to make the call himself, adding:

"Ivy River, you better hope you didn’t mess up, or you’ll see what happens!"

Gale Wiles felt a surge of anxiety watching this unfold.

The Yeaton Family’s eldest daughter is hard to deal with, and they hadn’t seen Charlotte today.

Charlotte has always been fair and just over the years.

Black is black, white is white.

Ivy River consoled him with her gaze.

After a short while.

Jonah Wiles returned quite pleased, "Well done, Ivy. You did well with this matter. Dad should praise you, deserving encouragement! What do you want, tell me."

"You promise anything?"

Ivy River teased.

Jonah Wiles waved his hand grandly, "Of course, when has Dad ever gone back on his word?"

"Well, then give me the Jade Edwin Blake gave you earlier. I can take it home since I’m missing one."

As soon as Ivy River spoke, Jonah Wiles hurriedly tucked his Jade into his chest.

"No, this can’t be given to you. Anything else is fine, but this is my recent treasure, how can you just take it from me?"

Jonah Wiles gathered the Jadeite tighter into his chest.

Ivy River smiled, "You said I could have anything. Alright, I don’t want your crappy stone. If you like it, I’ll buy you even better ones next time."

"Good, girls are indeed nice. Gale Wiles, learn a thing or two, see how your sister is wonderful."

Gale Wiles was taking hits for no reason, really annoyed. He said directly:

"Dad, what did Uncle Yeaton exactly say?"

Mentioning this, Jonah Wiles couldn’t help but beam.

He patted Gale’s shoulder, "Your Uncle Yeaton said yesterday Ivy’s proposal was excellent. For someone of Charlotte Yeaton’s stature, receiving her praise is not easy."

"Just that?" Gale Wiles filled with questions.

"Of course not, seems like Charlotte agreed to cooperate with Jade, and Jade wants to collaborate with the Wiles Clan too, so the three families will cooperate, and we’ll directly knock out the Blake Clan Group!"

Jonah Wiles was inspired by this revelation.

Gale’s brow raised, suppressing a smile, "Alright, I’ll review the contract when done. If there’s no issue, we’ll directly cooperate, the Yeaton Clan isn’t bad, they have some reputation."

"This doesn’t require your review, I’ve decided. Ivy, you’ll sign it directly when the time comes."

Jonah Wiles was elated.

Ivy River seemed to be coaxing a child, "Alright, I’ll surely deliver a perfect result."

"Good, good, very nice!" Jonah Wiles noted, "Wait, you didn’t go for the meeting with Jade, so where did you go? Gale Wiles, you didn’t go to the company last night either."

Gale Wiles: "..."

His body tensed up in shock.

His father’s success wasn’t random, the insight was like a blade still sharp.

Seeing him silent, Jonah Wiles continued questioning, "Where did you go, why aren’t you speaking? What is it that you can’t tell me, hiding even from me now?"

Gale’s mind raced, "I went to a bar last night."

"What were you doing at the bar?"

"What do you do at a bar? You keep urging me to find a partner, I really went to see the scene, and now you’re against it."

Gale began to feel unhappy as he spoke.

Jonah Wiles scrutinized Gale closely, noting his earnest expression, after a moment, he chuckled, "Alright, alright, not bad. You finally got the hang of it, shows Dad cares."

"Anything else, Dad? I have to visit the company in a bit, I haven’t been today, Ivy’s heading back to Seaton tomorrow."

"Heading back tomorrow?"

Ivy River explained, "Yeah, Dad, I really have to head back tomorrow. The kids staying at Edwin’s place aren’t ideal, I’ll bring them back after some time, alright?"

"Not alright, why don’t you come over on the weekend? Won’t you be signing the contract then? Bring the kids over when you sign, I miss them."

Jonah Wiles sighed deeply, "You know, all these years I’ve hoped you’d have kids, now that you do, you’re not bringing them home."

"Alright, alright, when I sign the contract, I’ll surely bring them home for you, okay, Dad?"

Ivy River really couldn’t handle her father’s persistence.

"Alright, it’s settled then. If the kids aren’t back by then, I’ll be asking you about it. I’ll even send someone to fetch them from Seaton."

Jonah Wiles laid down the terms bluntly.

After repeated assurance, Jonah Wiles finally relented.

"Alright, Dad, me and Gale will go check on the contract. Rest assured, I’ll bring the kids next time, even if I don’t come, they’ll come themselves, okay?"

"Go on."

Once they stepped outside.

Ivy River dropped the facade, kicking Gale Wiles, "Can you be more reliable? Hurry up and have a kid, or else Dad keeps tormenting me."
