Chapter 191
Back at the villa where she lived with Baldrick Anderson, Baldrick was still awake and looked surprised
when she came in. “Why are you back so soon?”
Leaning against the wooden fence, Winnie smiled and said, “Sorry to disappoint you, but Schilder didn’t
show any interest in me”
Disappointed and confused, Baldrick asked, “Why not?”
“Guess I just don’t have the charm to make
Schilder cheat on his wife.” She shrugged, walked towards her room, and said, “I’m tired, gonna hit the
hay.”
“You go rest, Baldrick replied.
She didn’t look back, went straight into her room, closed the door, and collapsed, sheding tears silently.
The next day, Estelle woke up in Jonathan’s arms. The sun was shining brightly on her face, looking wa
rm and inviting.
They’d gone a bit overboard the night before, and Estelle was feeling pretty rough, especially from the
aftereffects of the alcohol.
Jonathan coaxed her into having breakfast, and while they were eating, someone from Baldrick’s entou
rage came to invite Jonathan over, saying President Anderson had something important to discuss.
Jonathan wasn’t in a rush to see Baldrick, so he finished breakfast with Estelle first, and had a servant
make a nourishing soup for her.
Estelle said, “Mr. Anderson
probably has urgent matters to discuss with you, otherwise he wouldn’t come to see you so early. You d
on’t need to worry about me.”
“Alright, just lie down in bed and have a good rest if you’re feeling unwell, I’ll be back soon. He kissed
her cheek and left after instructing the servants.
With her thighs aching and her head pounding, Estelle didn’t want to go out. Once Jonathan had left, s
he went back to her room to read a book.
At Baldrick’s villa, Winnie was called away by Mrs. Macy, so the study was empty except for Baldrick.
When he saw Jonathan, Baldrick came out and asked with a smile, “Is Ms. Macclain alright?”
Jonathan smiled back. “She’s just feeling a bit unwell from drinking too much last night, nothing serious
.
“She definitely needs to rest then, Baldrick said with concern.
“Indeed.”
After some small talk, Baldrick got to the point, “I’ve received some intel that Schilder seems to have c
onnections with others as well. Our two families aren’t his only or final choice.”
Jonathan wasn’t surprised. “Schilder has been preparing for his domestic expansion plan for years. He
won’t easily commit to a partner.”
“But we have the upper hand, and we can’t let such an opportunity slip through,” Baldrick took a bottle
of wine from the shelf, got some wine for Jonathan, and said, “We must make Schilder sign the agreem
ent as soon as possible.”
Standing by the window, tall and refined, Jonathan smiled and asked, “President Anderson, what’s your
clever plan?”novelbin
Holding his wine, Baldrick raised an eyebrow and smiled, “It’s just a matter of catering to Schilder’s pref
erences, making him happy and showing our sincerity! I do, have an idea, but I don’t know if you’d be
willing to go through with it?”
Jonathan fixed his deep gaze on Baldrick and asked, “Go ahead.”
Baldrick lowered his voice, “Schilder likes local girls here. I’d be willing to give him Winnie, but unfortun
ately, he wasn’t interested.”
He sighed with regret, looking at Jonathan suggestively. “I heard that he prefers young girls. As far as I
know, Ms. Macclain bears some resemblance
to a younger Mrs. Macy If Mr. Lamont is willing to let Ms. Macclain sacrifice herself for
the deal, I believe Schilder would swiftly sign the agreement. Once this deal is done, I’ll give up 2% of t
he profits.”
The Al they planned to create would monopolize the domestic market for decades, and 2% was the larg
est amount of profit Baldrick could offer.
Jonathan stared at him, his emotions unreadable on his calm
and handsome face. He looked up at Baldrick and said softly, “Could you pass me the wine, please?”
Thinking that Jonathan had agreed, Baldrick turned to pick up the wine bottle, intending
to pour it for him.
Suddenly, Jonathan reached out and grabbed the bottle, raising it and smashing it hard onto Baldrick’s
head.
