In a spacious car park located on the hillside.

The people from Jenkins Corporation had already arrived. Luke Jenkins waited for the rest calmly.

Charlotte Jenkins was looking into the distance from the side while checking her watch as if she was extremely anxious.

All of a sudden, Charlotte beamed with joy. She could not help calling aloud, "They're here, they're here. The people from Lanyard Construction are here." 1

Luke raised an eyebrow and stood up.

A few chartered vehicles stopped steadily.

The door of the frontmost chartered vehicle was opened. Julian Shaw took the lead to get down from the car.

Charlotte could not refrain anymore such that she wanted to run to him.

Yet, Julian reached out to the inside of the car.

Someone else was inside the car?

An ineffable feeling flooded Charlotte's heart abruptly.

In the next moment, Susan Shelby appeared before the crowd with an embarrassed expression.

Luke's pupils suddenly constricted.

Susan's hair was in a mess and her face was flushing scarlet at the moment. Her lips were swollen in an abnormal way. 3

Her appearance was simply a declaration of what happened between them in the car.

Luke felt as if his heart was grasped tightly by a pair of hands.

He suddenly felt like he was suffocating.

Susan did not belong to him anymore.

She was married to Julian now.

He had always known this. He was also under the assumption that he was mentally prepared for this already.

Yet, his mind went blank instantaneously upon witnessing the scene in real life.

Luke had no idea how much determination he had to exert in order to control the expression on his face.

He looked at Julian calmly. "Mr. Shaw, you're late."

Julian took a glance at his watch. "I'm not late. The appointed time is nine and it's nine now. You're early, Mr. Luke. It's not always good to be early - sometimes being there at the right time is the best." Julian's statement seemed to contain some hidden meaning behind it.

Luke narrowed his eyes and raised an eyebrow

nonchalantly. "Mr. Shaw's words are truly philosophical. Let's go and take a look at the selected site."

"Sure," Julian answered then joined Luke to walk over first.

The rest of the people followed suit as well.

Susan seized the opportunity to return to her colleagues from the design department naturally.

"Hey, Susie..." Susie had just returned when one of her colleagues approached her. "Did something ineffable happen in the car with you and Chairman Shaw?"

"What are you thinking! That's indecent!" said Susan righteously.

"I'm indecent? Here, allow me to lend you a mirror?" The colleague passed her a mirror.

Susan took a glance, then she had a mental breakdown.

M*th*rf*ck*r. 2

Her hair was a mess and her face was flushing like a promiscuous girl. Even she felt that something ineffable must have happened between them.

She was incapable of seeing how she looked, yet Julian could!

The b*st*rd definitely did it on purpose.

Susan was especially sad and resentful at this very moment.

"Susie, stop hiding. What is the relationship between you and Chairman Shaw actually?" Someone tried to gossip.

"No, there's nothing between us." Susan shook her head and denied it at all costs.

"I bet she wishes she can develop a relationship with him." A female colleague said enviously, "Mr. Shaw doesn't look like a married man regardless. If I have to say this, I think that the Jenkins Corporation's young daughter is a rather good match for Mr. Shaw."

The female colleague pouted. "These two people make the perfect couple when they stand together, right?"

Susan took a glance and found Julian and Luke walking at the frontmost with Charlotte standing next to Julian. Their silhouettes looked rather harmonious from behind.

"Susie, do you agree?" The female colleague continued to look at Susan on purpose.

"Hey, Queeny, aren't you good friends with Lily?

However, Lily was fired for plagiarizing Susie's work so why are you victimizing Susie?" Chance Hamilton interrupted the conversation.

Queeny Lewis' expression changed and yet she said," I'm only telling the truth. A man like Chairman Shaw will certainly marry the daughter of a renowned family like Charlotte if he were to get married! Even if he is treating Susan well now, he's only doing that to fool around with her. Susan, I know that Mr. Shaw is breathtakingly attractive, but you should think twice too. You're a married woman too." Queeny made her statement righteously.

Susan could not refrain herself from rolling her eyes. "I met an old woman over a hundred years old who is still very strong and healthy. Do you know why?" "Why?" Queeny appeared baffled.

"It's because she doesn't meddle in other people's business," replied Susan casually. Then she did not pay attention to Queeny anymore but she looked around her. Her purpose in coming here was to see the selected site in real life and not to quarrel with Queeny.

Susan's carefree temperament hurt Queeny completely. She cast a ghastly glance at Susan then let out a heavy, cold grunt.

'Not just once, but you were lucky enough to get on top of Chairman Shaw a few times. And yet you really think that you're some important personnel!'

She would teach Susan a good lesson sooner and later when she had the opportunity. 2

Julian and Luke were checking out the site on their own silently.

"Julian, what do you think of this site?" Charlotte could not refrain herself from speaking.

Julian took a glance at her then said nonchalantly,"

It's fine. The mountain should be good as a getaway for the summers, but the topography of this mountain is quite complicated. We should pay more attention to the safety of the location. I'll have to get a safety specialist to examine the location later and perform a n evaluation for the different types of dangers and then produce a solution as soon as possible."

Luke said, "I've already planned this too. At the beginning of next year, I'll send in the safety specialist and come up with a formal report."

Julian was about to speak when he suddenly raised his head and married his eyes.

A few snowflakes drifted down the sky without his notice.

"Huh. This is the first now of the year, right?" said Charlotte in a crisp voice. 2

However, the snow was falling heavier and heavier half an hour later. In a short while, it was about to turn into a blizzard.

They were rendered incapable of inspecting the site anymore.

"Let's wait it out in the house. There was a small village here originally. I've already purchased the entire village and the residents have already been relocated. However, the houses are still here so it'll be nice for everyone to stay for the time being," said Luke.

"Good." Julian nodded while he cast a glance at Susan without drawing any attention.

Then, he turned back his head and soon pulled a long face.

The woman named Susan was having so much fun watching the snowy scenery with her colleagues. She had not even darted a look at him.

Luke summoned his assistant and ordered him to make arrangements for the accommodation.

Then, he took a glance at Julian. "Mr. Shaw, let's discuss the safety issues in detail."

Julian nodded and they entered a house first.

Charlotte did not follow them but she turned her head to the side to replace out the accommodation allocation.

There was a total of over a hundred people from Lanyard Construction and the Jenkins Corporation for this trip. Fortunately, a large number of houses had been left behind. There was one room allocated for every two people basically.

The people from the Jenkins Corporation would be arranged according to the name list.

Unfortunately, Queeny and Susan were arranged to live in the same house due to their name order.

"I want to switch rooms!" Queeny called aloud on the spot, "I don't want to live in the same house as Susan!"
