Chapter 14 Master Daniel’s Wife

“Healthy Land would never offend Jessica. Oh, that’s right! Today was

supposed to be the joyous day of signing the cooperation with TMO,

and my no–show was indeed a broken promise. That was inexcusable

of me; I apologize to Jessica.”

To show sincerity, Joshua quickly stood up and bowed deeply to

Jessica.

“Josh, are you pretending to be blind? Or are you too old to catch the

point?”

“I’m not! Isn’t my absence the point?”

“You’re not? Then you must be illiterate. Can’t you read the big letters

on the screen?”

Joshua turned and saw the writing, his face immediately flushed with embarrassment. He glared at Anthony and demanded, “What’s going

on?”

“I–I don’t know! It was Brandon’s doing!”

Anthony’s unexpected deflection caught Brandon off guard. Was Anthony blaming him when it was Anthony who forcibly changed the agreement from TMO to ArmCorp? Now Brandon didn’t dare to object.

If he revealed the truth, it meant trouble for both Anthony and himself, plus he had also profited from the deal with Andrew. If he shouldered this, both Anthony and Andrew would owe him favors.

After all, he was just an employee; he could get paid working for

ArmCorp if he couldn’t at Healthy Land, right? And if he handled this well, maybe he’d secure an even higher salary,

With this rationale, Brandon stood out.

“Master Joshua, our initial partner indeed was TMO, but The Matthews isn’t what it used to be. Their power has declined, which is why we ultimately chose ArmCorp. ArmCorp’s rapid growth in recent years surpasses TMO. Healthy Land partnering with ArmCorp is the

better choice.”

“Enough! In your eyes, am I, Joshua, someone who only cares for

benefits? Someone who will partner with whomever is more powerful?

“I

“Sir, that’s not what I meant.”

“You’re fired! Healthy Land can only partner with TMO–no, not just

Healthy Land and TMO, but The Grants will engage in a deep partnership directly with The Matthews. All of The Grants‘ future investments in Delvin Hub will be handled by TMO!”

Joshua turned to Jessica again, his face full of flattery.

“Jessica, the people underneath have been disrespectful, I’m sorry they upset you. As an apology, I’ve decided to add an extra fifty billion to the pre–agreed collaboration. You’ll control all the funds.”

Happiness arrived so suddenly that Jessica couldn’t believe her ears.

She was rooted to the spot, stunned into silence. A returned

partnership and an added investment of fifty billion from The Grants were like pulling The Matthews straight from hell to heaven. It was

too fantastical, too unbelievable.

“Jessica, if you’re still upset, I can’t borrow Master Daniel from you,

can I? How about I add another fifty billion, making it a hundred

billion in total?”

Jessica’s mouth dropped in shock before hastily clarifying.

“Master Joshua, you’ve misunderstood me. It’s not just a matter of

having lunch with Daniel, you can even take him back to Washington

if you wish. The strategic collaboration between Healthy Land and

TMO will follow what was agreed upon earlier. If you wish to add to

your investment, you can do so once TMO has proven results.”

Her response greatly impressed Joshua. Truly fitting for Master

Daniel’s wife, the woman his Master had chosen. She was

exceptional!

Upon returning to the venue after her call, Jennifer was petrified to learn that she had insulted Jessica. By offending Jessica, the path to cooperate with TMO for her company was now cut off.

In a desperate move, Jennifer stepped forward. “Master Joshua, you can’t collaborate with TMO!”
