Flash Marriage: My Penniless Billionaire Husband
Chapter 357: It Is My BusinessJanice couldn’t help but want to get angry when he mentioned this incident, but thinking about the baby in her belly, she held back and said, "You sent someone to investigate the mother and daughter. Do you have any news now?" Christopher said, "There are some, but they are still being confirmed."
"Well, you urge them to make sure they find Vanessa. My father wants to see her." Christopher nodded. Seeing that she didn’t seem to be in a good mood, he said, "What? Are you angry?"
Janice pursed her lips, "I’m not angry. I just think he is so insensible. At this time, he still keeps talking about Vanessa. Am I not his daughter?" Janice pouted, and her cheeks flushed with anger.
Christopher tried to comfort her, "Don’t be angry. It’s not good for your body." He walked to the side to pour Janice a glass of water, handed it to her, and said, "Actually, your father’s behavior is understandable. In the end, it is his flesh and blood. What’s more, it is said that when a person is dying, he will let go of a lot of things. Maybe he has forgiven Vanessa."
"You’re right, but I still feel upset." Janice drank the water and said. Christopher chuckled, "Since you are upset, then we will ignore this matter."
Hearing this, Janice looked down, paused, and said, "Forget it, let’s find her. He is dying. Why upset him now?" Christopher smiled, "You indeed have a soft heart."
"Oh, you left in such a hurry. Was there something wrong with the company?" Janice asked. Christopher raised his eyebrows slightly, "It’s okay. I can handle it. Let’s go home."
Yvonne returned to the apartment and smelled something nice as soon as she opened the door. She walked in and saw James was busy in the kitchen in his apron. "You’re back." James poked his head out of the kitchen.
"Yes."
"I’m cooking. How about we eat at home tonight?"
Yvonne nodded, "Okay."
Seeing her look listless, James asked, "What happened to you?" Yvonne shook her head, "Nothing."
She changed her shoes and walked inside. Upon seeing this, James quickly untied his apron and followed her. "Is something wrong?" He asked.
Yvonne paused, and then asked, "Did White Group ask to work with you on a project?"
James thought for a while, "There seems to be such a thing." Yvonne wanted to ask him if he could think about cooperation, but she hesitated. Seeing her hesitation, James asked tentatively, "Do you want me to help the White Group?" Yvonne was still silent.
James saw something and asked, "Grace found you?" Yvonne nodded. "She threatened you?"
Yvonne lowered her head and pursed her lips, tacitly acquiescing. James frowned, "Leave it to me. Wash your hands and eat." He turned around and was about to go back to the kitchen.
"James..." Yvonne stopped him, "I’m sorry I’ve caused you trouble."
James helplessly said, "Nonsense! You are my wife, and your business is my business."
After dinner, Yvonne went back to the room. James called Christopher, "Let’s meet."
Not long after, the two met in Daniel’s club. "How about it? Do you want to cooperate with me? I heard that you just got pulled out of a deal."
...
James said as soon as they sat down in the box. Christopher chuckled, "I can’t hide anything from you. how do you want to cooperate?" He took a glass of wine and handed it over. James took it and smiled mysteriously, "Trust me. It’ll be a strong alliance."
With that, he toasted. Christopher frowned as if understanding his meaning. He clinked glasses with Christopher, "Deal."
At this moment, Daniel opened the door and frowned, "Why did you wait for me? What are you two doing behind my back?" "Chris and I are ready to join forces and form a strong alliance," James said meaningfully.
Daniel frowned. It was a pity that he didn’t have any projects lately, or he would have to step in. "Danny, I need to ask you one more thing. " Christopher said suddenly.
Daniel said, "What’s the matter?" Christopher paused and said, "You know a lot of people. Help find someone."
"Okay, give me the specifics later and I’ll let them take care of them immediately."
Christopher nodded, remembering something, and asked James, "Oh, James, what happened on your wedding day?" After so many days without his explanation, Christopher couldn’t help but ask curiously. James put down his wine glass, "Oh, nothing. We just temporarily changed our minds and went to get the marriage certificate."
"Well, how could you stand us up and go to get the marriage certificate?" Christopher smiled speechlessly.
"It happened suddenly, so I didn’t have time to tell everyone."
James was somewhat helpless. After all, it was too sudden. Daniel was confused, "What are you talking about? I don’t understand anything. What wedding?"
Christopher looked over, "You naturally didn’t know because you weren’t in Tomaville at that time. James got married." Daniel looked incredulous, "What? James, you didn’t tell me when you got married? Were you my friend or not?"
James scratched his head with some guilty conscience, "We didn’t have a wedding."
"That’s not a good excuse. Who is the unlucky girl?" Daniel snorted.
James frowned, "She’s the luckiest girl."
Daniel snorted lightly. "Okay, introduce her to me."
"You know her," James said. Daniel thought for a while, "The girl from the White family?"
James nodded.
Daniel was slightly surprised, "You kid took her down?" James was very speechless,
"We love each other."
Daniel sneered, "Okay, whatever you say. But the White Group is not doing very well. It is not a good thing that you have a relationship with them at this time."
"I know."
James didn’t care at all, and said, "The White Group is indeed not doing well, but no one has stipulated that I must help them, right?" Hearing this, Daniel and Christopher looked at each other.
"So, are you ready to stand by?" Daniel asked.
James frowned, "Whether I will stand by or not is still too early to discuss. All right, I’ll go back after this glass of wine is finished." He took his glass of wine and drank it first. Christopher drank his wine immediately, and the two left together, leaving Daniel sitting there with a speechless expression on his face. Christopher left early, which he found normal. But what was wrong with James?
...
Was it just because he was married now? Daniel looked speechless. Did a man automatically become like this when he got married? Was James another henpecked husband? Daniel looked speechless. He was the only bachelor now. On the way out of the club, James told Christopher about his plan to deal with the White Group.
When Daniel asked about it in the box just now, he didn’t say it clearly, because he thought that the fewer people who knew about it, the better. Besides, at present, he needed Christopher’s help, so he thought he should tell him the truth of the matter to prevent him from standing on the wrong side. Christopher was somewhat surprised when he heard James’s plan for the White Group. After all, in the business world, the best way to consolidate one’s position was marriage to form a strong alliance. He hadn’t expected that James would do the opposite.
However, given the fact that he had usually heard some grudges against the White family from Janice, he could understand something. It was just grudging in a rich family. Wasn’t it the same for him and his father? Thinking of this, Christopher said, "How to do it, you make a decision. Just tell me when you need my help."
That was what James had waited for and he said, "You’re a good friend." After the two separated at the entrance of the club, they went home separately. When James arrived home, Yvonne was sitting in the living room watching TV. Hearing the sound of the door, Yvonne stretched out her head vigilantly and looked over. She was relieved to see that it was James who came in. She glanced at the time and found that it was less than ten o’clock, and she was startled.
When she came downstairs and found that James was not there earlier, she had thought he would come back very late.
But he came back before ten o’clock in the evening.
However, with a doctor’s sensitivity, she immediately noticed the smell of a nightclub on his body. "Did you drink?" Yvonne asked.
James subconsciously sniffed his body. Before coming in, he had deliberately tried to drive away from the smell of alcohol on him by staying outside for a while, but she still smelled it. He could only admit it, "I drank a little."
Yvonne didn’t say anything. She was just asking it casually. "Oh, go take a shower."
Yvonne turned her gaze back to the TV screen. James glanced at her, and then walked upstairs, feeling somehow upset. Before long, a shout came from upstairs. At first, Yvonne thought she was having hallucinations, and deliberately muted the TV, and only then did she hear it was James’ voice. She hurriedly put down the remote control, went upstairs, and went into the guest room. She heard a sound from the bathroom, walked over, and knocked on the door. "Did you call me just now?" Yvonne asked.
"Yes, I called you. I didn’t bring anything when I came in. Can you help me get it? My shorts and a bath towel."
"Wait a minute." Yvonne didn’t think much and walked to the closet. She opened the door, but suddenly a pile of messy clothes fell on her face like a collapsing hill. Yvonne was dumbfounded.
Her wardrobe was usually messy enough, but he was even messier than hers. How could she find it? She frowned, but squatted down to find a bath towel and a pair of underwear among the piles of clothes and knocked on the door. The bathroom door opened from the inside, and the heat mixed with the pleasant smell of shower gel came out of it. Yvonne was surprised. She turned back quickly and passed the clothes over.
