Don't Fall For Me, CEO-Chapter 1119: Having It Both Ways?
On the other side, Andre has been waiting for Roman Kidd in the lobby of the hotel he resides in for two days.
Despite being a prominent figure in Desrozin City, he lowered his status significantly, causing people around to whisper about him behind his back.
"Andre has hit a wall, waiting for two days and he’s still being shunned."
"If the strategic cooperation plan is completely shelved, Andre and his family will become enemies of all Desrozin City."
Everyone else sees this clearly, so how could Andre not understand what the strategic cooperation means to him and his family?
The past two years haven’t been great for Desrozin City, with many small and medium-sized enterprises closing.
And the cross-national strategic cooperation brought by Roman Kidd could rejuvenate the entire Desrozin City.
Many enterprises are eagerly anticipating the swift implementation of this strategic cooperation, so if it is shelved, it would mean the shattering of dreams for all the citizens of Desrozin City.
By then, they certainly wouldn’t support him or the entire Pitt Family anymore.
However, Andre is confident. By lowering his stance like this, Roman Kidd will surely see his sincerity, will surely forgive him, and will surely continue the strategic cooperation.
But Andre never expected that after waiting for two entire days, he would be informed: "Mr. Andre, His Excellency Kidd has already left the hotel at noon to return home; please go back first."
"His Excellency Kidd has already returned home?" Andre’s face turned pale.
He thought Roman Kidd would at least give him some face, but now it seems Roman Kidd just trampled on his face like a rag and rubbed it hard.
Not being respected, and the possible halt of cross-national strategic cooperation, caused Andre to return home in a foul mood.
Originally, he intended to go home and give Anna a scolding, as he believed the current situation was all Anna’s fault.
But as soon as he entered the house, he was shocked by Anna’s appearance.
Her hair was a mess, resembling a bird’s nest, with some bruises on her forehead.
Moreover, her gaze was unfocused.
Andre had never seen Anna like this; for a moment he was flustered and couldn’t bother to reprimand her.
"Anna, what on earth happened? Why are you like this?"
"I just did as you asked, went to that woman to apologize. But she and Laura Quinn teamed up to humiliate me..."
Seeing Andre, Anna burst into tears on the spot.
In fact, her grievance was only part of it, while the other part was her wanting to use Andre to seek justice for her.
The servants, under her eye signal, quickly came over to embellish the story.
"Sir, you don’t know how arrogant Ms. Quinn was today. She even picked up a fruit basket to throw at Miss Anna and pushed her. If it wasn’t for us protecting Miss Anna, Ms. Quinn would have surely killed her today."
Andre was furious: "That damned woman."
In Andre’s eyes, no matter how wealthy Laura Quinn was, she was just a businesswoman.
Outside of Desrozin City, the Pitt Family’s influence indeed wasn’t as strong as the Quinn Group with its various international businesses.
But within Desrozin City, for Laura Quinn to dare touch someone from the Pitt Family was simply courting disaster.
"Doesn’t she fear that I’ll inform the Marsden Family about her and her illegitimate daughter’s matters?"
Under Joseph’s effortful facade, Laura Quinn appears to be a woman who would resort to any means to advance the Quinn Group.
Relying on the Marsden Family, she even uses her marriage as bait, yet refuses to marry Joseph, a classic example of hypocrisy.
Andre obviously viewed Laura Quinn this way too; seeing such a vile person using her influence to bully others, he decided: "Since they won’t take the soft approach, we’ll give them the hard one."
