The CEO’s Billion Dollar Bride
Chapter 1033 - 1013: Simply put, you’re asking for it!

Chapter 1033: Chapter 1013: Simply put, you’re asking for it!

The four words "Miss Gordon" caused Hanny Josh’s brain to plunge into a state of panicked emptiness!

The whole of Andras City knew the might of the Gordon family; a single Jensen family was enough to throw her entire life into disarray. The Gordon family, towering above both the Jensen and Smith families, could be said to control the economic lifelines of the entire Andras City. Exterminating the Josh family was as easy as crushing an ant!

What she hadn’t expected was how simplistically Miss Gordon dressed. Although her demeanor was always noble and elegant, her attire and entourage seemed even humbler than hers. Who would believe that the number one socialite of the Gordon family would be so low-key?

"Are you sure that’s Miss Gordon of the Gordon family?"

Even though a question mark was used, the series of reactions from this morning had already convinced Hanny Josh that this woman was indeed Miss Gordon.

No wonder the Jensen family’s Rino Hotel was so arrogant—refusing even to send clothes to her, decisively declining to do business with her. Allure International’s reporters appeared so precisely at their hotel room door because the woman she had offended was Miss Gordon!

Unlike the overbearing female CEO who climbed to the top by usurping her brothers’ inheritance rights as a mistress’s daughter, Miss Gordon was born a princess. She was the darling of the family, showered with love and privileges in the Gordon household. Mr. Gordon’s famous dictate from years ago, that the purpose of having younger siblings was to provide someone for Miss Gordon to pick on, was still circulating.

It showed just how high the eldest daughter’s status was in CEO Gordon’s eyes; even after having sons, Miss Gordon’s favor only increased. She was once widely regarded as the happiest woman in Andras City because she was so well-protected that most people had never seen her true face.

She had crossed words with Miss Gordon without realizing who she was. Miss Gordon’s low profile made it unimaginable that the number one socialite would live like this!

Wait a second... hadn’t she married off to Corda City?

Why was she still in Andras City?

The wedding of Bella Gordon and Roy Thompson had once stunned the globe, as had this one, but only a side face was captured, never the full face. Not even the names were reported, just a brief mention in a simple and extravagant way. Yet even that was enough to send shockwaves around the world.

She married off to Corda City?

This question had just flashed through Hanny Josh’s mind when it was replaced by another thought: the heiress of the Gordon family married into Corda City’s number one military, political, and business powerhouse—the Thompson family. The Thompson family? Roy Thompson?

The moment these words surfaced in her mind, Hanny Josh’s brain completely shattered. Oh heavens, the out-of-town man she had unwaveringly pursued was none other than Young Master Thompson, Roy Thompson...

Hanny Josh slapped her own forehead. How could her usually keen brain be so slow? The Executive CEO under Josh Enterprises had the last name Thompson, and she still hadn’t guessed that it was Young Master Thompson of the Thompson family!

If only she had known he was Young Master Thompson of the Thompson family, even if she liked him, she wouldn’t dare to have an affair with him, because she wasn’t worthy at all!

Aside from the disparity between the two families, it was rumored that Young Master Thompson and Miss Gordon had been childhood sweethearts, having met at the age of five and then getting married. The relationship and power of these two families alone could crush her. She had initially wanted to seek revenge, naively thinking he was just a rich son-in-law from a wealthy Andras City family and that ruining him would be easy.

The Thompson family, ten Josh families wouldn’t be enough to rival them. Military, political, business—the mere sight of these three words was breathtaking.

She had dared to offend them?

Hanny Josh was somewhat dazed by this realization. From the time the incident happened, she had always felt she was losing because of bad luck. However, now she realized it wasn’t bad luck—it was a huge disparity in power!

A Gordon family combined with a Thompson family, a mere sneeze could crush her, how did she end up offending both families all at once?

She always said that men’s lust could lead to trouble, now she knew that women’s lust could do the same, considering Roy Thompson was the eldest son of the Thompson family. Forget that he was already married, even if he weren’t, she could at most drool over him, nothing more. How could she be moved at all!

At this thought, Hanny Josh felt an overwhelming sense of regret that one misstep could lead to everlasting hatred!

"Call Mr. Thompson back, I will go to his company to find him immediately. As long as he does not acquire Josh Group, anything is negotiable!"

The fact that he had been framed for rape was one thing, but now the most important matter was to save Josh Group.

"Yes!"

As soon as Hanny Josh returned home, she hurriedly took a shower, changed her clothes, and rushed straight to Roy Thompson’s office. She didn’t even have time to tend to the wounds inflicted by Adrian Watkins. This time, her visit to his office was unexpectedly quick; the secretary directly led her into the office.

But as soon as she entered the office, before she even had the chance to speak, the document for the acquisition was thrown at her, and a deep, chilling voice made her shiver without feeling the cold, "Sign this, and then get out!"

Roy Thompson didn’t even look up. He kept his head down, looking at and flipping through the documents in his hands as he spoke.

"Apart from signing this, I can accept any other conditions!"

Even though she already knew Roy Thompson’s identity, the domineering aura honed from years on the business battlefield still made her speech confrontational, despite the fear and concern in her heart.

"The moment you thought about touching my wife, you lost the right to choose!"

How dare she touch his treasure and still talk to him about conditions?

He had always kept a low profile and was generous. He never pursued those who committed minor mistakes. However, when it came to those who crossed his bottom line, he was never lenient. To kill was to kill thoroughly; what was the point of leaving an escape route?

"The one who attempted to rape your wife wasn’t me, it was Adrian Watkins. Why are you charging this to my account?"

Years of negotiation experience on the mall had taught her that you need to be confident during negotiations and not lose your presence. After all, Miss Gordon had not suffered any harm, and as the victim, she should approach the negotiation with confidence, the only way she might have a chance to win, "Every debt has its debtor, surely Mr. Thompson won’t only take action against women, right?"

"I don’t think arguing with me now makes any sense. You can choose to sign and agree to the acquisition, or you can wait until I destroy Josh Group and saddle you with debt you’ll never be able to repay in your lifetime!"

Roy Thompson still did not lift his head. Even while saying this, his demeanor remained nonchalant, as if, to him, this major issue was as simple as having a meal!

"Roy Thompson!"

Hanny Josh lost her temper again, "Don’t push me too far. Nothing happened to your wife, but I was raped. Do you understand how serious this is for a woman? I could sue you!"

"Sue me?"

Roy Thompson finally narrowed his eyes and looked up from the documents, "Was it me who raped you? This is called ’those who commit injustices will bring about their own downfall.’ To put it plainly, you had it coming!"
