Chapter 1082 Divorce (6)
"Is it really just a coincidence?" Elliot was suspicious, clearly not inclined to believe her.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Sitting across from Elliot, Lawrence glanced at Leah with resignation and chimed in to explain. "Well, Rose and her friends didn't know whichcompany I worked for. So it was quite surprising to run into them at Harper Group."
Elliot's doubts were mostly dispelled by this explanation when he heard Rose's soft voice. "Lawrence, after you finish discussing business matterswith him, let's have dinner together."
Lawrence smiled upon hearing her words and turned towards Rose with a genteel demeanor. "It would be my pleasure.”The man watched their interaction with furrowed brows and obvious displeasure.
But Rose paid no attention to Elliot's expression whatsoever; she simply saw that Lawrence had agreed and turned towards the man seated in themain chair. "You guys talk business; Leah and I will leave first.”
Without waiting for Elliot's response, she stood up and left the office directly with her daughter.
After the mother and daughter left, the atmosphere in the office became even more tense
Under Elliot's intimidating gaze, Lawrence smiled lightly as he spoke first, "Mr. Harper, shall we discuss business matters now?"Elliot responded coldly, "Do you have the contract?”
Upon hearing this question from him, Lawrence couldn't help but smile wider as he calmly replied, "My boss said that you haven't passed RH's thirdtest yet, so we can't sign any contracts.”
Elliot was slightly taken aback by his response, "Wait... you're not the CEO from RH?"
Lawrence shrugged nonchalantly. "My boss is wise beyond measure, someone who I could never compare myself to."
The man sitting across from him pursed his lips but remained silent.
It made sense though - if he hadn't even passed RH's third test yet, then how could RH's CEQ possibly come over himself?"So what is your third test exactly?"
Lawrence chuckled softly before responding, "My boss is no ordinary person; He has strong sense of justice along with his own principles when doingthings.”
"Amongst these principles,” He continued on while briefly flashing a mocking grin that went unnoticed by the other man. "The most important one isthat my boss only works together with people who have good character traits such as loving their wives or families.”
Elliot furrowed his brows and remained silent for a moment before asking, "When did I stop loving my wife and family?"
Lawrence adjusted his sleeves and spoke slowly, "My boss heard about your previous scandal of infidelity. Therefore, he hopes that you can publiclyapclogize through live broadcast, admitting your mistake of betraying your ex-wife."
"If you can gain forgiveness from your ex-wife and correct your mistakes, then you will pass the third test.”Although Lawrence appeared calm on the surface, he was actually wary of Elliot's pressure
In the business world, Elliot was considered a genius. He inherited Harper Group at a young age and was able to navigate among experiencedbusinessmen with ease.
Upon hearing this request from Lawrence now would surely anger him.
Sure enough, as soon as Lawrence finished speaking, Elliot's eyebrows furrowed. His face turned dark as he stared at the man sitting across fromhim. The anger in his heart boiled.
Was RH playing him all along?The first two tests were childish; now they were making such an impolite request!When did he ever cheat on anyone?
This man had an obvious motive this time around; there must be something wrong with it.
Elliot glared at.Lawrence with a coldexpression and said in an icy voice,
‘I don't care: what your purpose ishere today. I don't have time to playgames, with you guys anymore,Harper Group does not welcome younaw nor do we plan to cooperatewith RH." Content belongs toNovelDrama.Org
He sneered disdainfully without any patience left, "And RH will soon pay for these childish tricks of yours.”

Elliot laughed mockingly as if hearing some joke. "Who do you think is your boss? Why should I want to see him?"His voice was full of coldness,"Here, I'm calling all shots! Even if God himself came here, I wouldn't want to meet him!"At this moment, Elliot didn't know that the so-called God who he didn’t want to meet right now was actually his own son.
And Lawrence who knew about it remained silent for half a moment before saying gently, "Mr. Harper, you should reconsider our offer. My boss willstay at Anderrish Hotel for one month".
Elliot frowned unhappily at Lawrence's words‘Doesn't that mean Lawrence will have to stay here for a month too?" he thought'Will he be bothering Rose all the time?"
Elliot couldn't help but recall the uncomfortable scene when Rose and her daughter met Lawrence earlier.
On the other hand, as Rose walkedout of the office, she thought abouthow coincidental it was that Elliotand Lawrence were working <together.

Rose furrowed her eyebrows in thought for a moment before smiling at her daughter."Leah, did you know your godfather was coming over?""Nope!" Leah answered without hesitation. However, her guilty eyes betrayed her true feelings
Rose saw through Leah's attempt to hide something and became even mare certain of what she suspected. She pursed her lips and turned around toface Leah with a serious expression on her face.
"A child who lies is not a good child,” she said sternly. "If you really didn't know your godfather was coming over, then how did you help Ellict pass thelevels before?"
Leah became flustered upon hearing this question and nervously grabbed onto her mommy's hand. "Mommy..."
