Chapter 70
*Let me make it clear. Christy is my woman. Don’t let me see you appear in front of her again. Otherwise, not only will 1 make Barnett Group bankrupt, but I will also make it impossible for you to find any job in this country. Whichever company dares to hire you, I will make that company go bankrupt!” Joshua said coldly with a dark expression.
So, this was the real threat…
Kellen felt desperate and helpless.
The man in front of him was as domineering as a cruel king, while he was just an ant. He would lose all his superiority in front of Joshua.
Just by Joshua moving a finger, he would die a horrible death.
Kellen’s palms were sweating again.
“Mr. Melendez, I was wrong. I only admired Miss Christy before, but I haven’t been so obsessed with her to the point of disregarding everything else. Compared with my future, this is nothing. Kellen said with a sad face.
“I promise that I won’t have any ideas about Miss Christy, won’t talk to her, and won’t show up in front of her again. If I see her from a distance, I will avoid her. Mr. Melendez, please spare me!”
Seeing Kellen finally bowing down in front of him, Joshua’s mouth curved into a satisfied smile.
Whoever dared to compete with him for a woman, he would make that person pay a painful price:
He really wanted that stubborn little woman to hear Kellen’s words. Just for an order, for a little money, Kellen abandoned her without hesitation. He didn’t even have the courage to talk to her.
What was the point of liking such a man?
If love could be measured by money, it couldn’t compare to a contract in Kellen’s eyes.
What right did this little woman have to say that he didn’t understand love?
His appearance, financial resources, wisdom, and his feelings for her were far better than Kellen’s. Was that woman blind?
Joshua truly had a revengeful attitude toward Kellen.
The more Christy favored a man, the more he wanted to completely defeat that man, make him beg for mercy, and submit to him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t ease his hatred.
“Very good. I am satisfied with your answer, Joshua said coldly, “You should feel lucky. If you had shouted and questioned. me when you saw me, Barnett Group would have gone bankrupt already. You were calm and knew how to back off and avoid the tricky situation. This is a good thing.”
I have already paid a heavy price for my ignorance. How could I dare to gamble my career and the life or death of the company out of spite? Thank you for giving me another chance, Mr. Melendez.” said Kellen humbly.
However, Joshua’s words made Kellen feel a little relieved and surprised.
He thought that Joshua would definitely bully him to death and give him no way out at all.
Unexpectedly, Joshua actually had some appreciation for him. While teaching him a lesson, Joshua also gave him another
chance.
Not only was he shrewd, but he was also unfathomable. He could run Stellar Group so well not by luck but by truly having outstanding intelligence.
When he was in the restaurant, he was not convinced when Joshua used the money to bribe him. However, now he had a little admiration for Joshua.
On the other hand, Nelson had no idea what Kellen and Joshua talked about.
Seeing Kellen didn’t come out for a long time. He was worried that the deal had failed and had already made the worst plan. He picked up his phone and dialed a phone number.
At this moment, Gloria was feeling very depressed.
Even Joshua’s assistant, Terence, wouldn’t answer her phone. If this was Joshua’s instruction, it meant that Joshua really cared about the rumors about her smearing Christy on the Internet.
She had been waiting here for almost an hour, and fourteen minutes ago, she had finally seen Joshua’s car return.
She had wanted to get out of the car and go talk to Joshua, to explain things properly, but from a distance, she could tell that Joshua looked angry. Something seemed to have upset him.
If she rushed over, she would definitely become the scapegoat.
So Gloria had to keep waiting in the car.
Chapter 70
She knew that Joshua would be very busy as soon as he returned to the company. It was hard to say when he would come out of the president’s office.
There might be no chance to see him today.
Just then, Gloria’s phone rang.
It was her uncle, Nelson.
Nelson was a businessman, and he wouldn’t come to her for no reason.
Gloria answered the phone.
“Gloria, it’s Nelson! Here’s the thing. I’ve run into a big problem with my business. The big project I was working on with Stellar Group has hit a snag, and the situation is very urgent!
“I know that you have a good relationship with Mr. Melendez. Can you help me talk to Mr. Melendez? If this works out, I will definitely not treat you badly…” As an elder. Nelson’s tone was already subservient,
Gloria found it amusing!
Joshua didn’t even allow her to enter the company. It was obvious that he didn’t want her to interfere in any of the
company’s affairs. How could she help Nelson save the contract?
She couldn’t help him at all.
As Joshua’s girlfriend, Gloria had become a beloved princess in the entertainment industry, with top resources at her fingertips and without having to pay any hidden costs.
But now she was treading on thin ice and had her own difficulties. However, how could she tell her difficulties? If others found out that her relationship with Joshua was not as close as it seemed, she would lose face and might even be ridiculed by others.
So Gloria impatiently said, “I’m sorry, but I really can’t help you with this. You’ll have to find a way yourself!”
Nelson had expected Gloria to show him some respect, but he didn’t expect her to be so apathetic.
He said angrily, “Gloria, no matter how famous you are outside, I am still your elder. How can you treat me with such a cold. attitude?”
“If you don’t have anything else to say, I’m going to hang up now,” Gloria said indifferently, then hung up the phone.
“Gloria!”
Nelson wanted to say something more, but the other end of the line had already turned into a busy tone.
“Damn it!” Nelson’s face turned livid with anger.
Nelson cursed in his heart, “Whether she can help me is one thing, but she should at least show some basic respect to her elders! When she becomes famous, she becomes arrogant and looks down on everyone. She doesn’t even care about her elders, as if I’m just a bigger to her.”
The more Nelson thought about it, the angrier he became.
At this moment, Kellen came out of the president’s office.
Nelson hurriedly went over and asked anxiously, “Kellen, how did the contract negotiations go?”
Kellen sighed. “Mr. Barnett, we closed the deal. Stellar Group is willing to continue working with us, but the condition is to complete the rectification within three days, and the penalty for breach of contract has been increased from 1.4 million dollars to 14 million dollars. Mr. Barnett, I’ve promised this contract on behalf of the company, and if we can’t get it done in three days, I’ll take full responsibility and resign.”
