Chapter 1847 JibeThat night, Shawn received a phone call from his family and endured a torrent of scolding for half an hour.
Coralie also wore a grim expression as she knew Shawn's failure to manage the company well would mean she had to return tothe north and face those decrepit old folks again.novelbin
The northern climate was too dry and had deleterious effects on her skin.Nevertheless, her mood remained upbeat because she had successfully invited Jonathan for a meetup.
Coralie had asked him out by using the excuse of wanting to reimburse him for the car damage, but he had rejected her flatly.Then, after a bit of coaxing, he finally agreed to let her treat him to a meal as an expression of her apology.
Through constant inquiries with Frieda, Coralie finally understood Jonathan's personality better. He was a relatively rigid person.Regardless, she found his cool character to be attractive.
When Shawn exited his room, Frieda hurriedly served him a glass of coffee, not daring to say much as she worried that anyattempt to comfort him might only upset him further.
"Shawn, it's just a few hundred million. There's no need for them to be so mad. | don't know what those old folks at home arethinking, fussing over this insignificant amount of money. Competing with Farwell Group is bound to involve losses. Didn't youalso cause Lucian to lose money recently? This just proves that he's a worthy opponent."
Coralie's consolation struck a chord and immediately calmed Shawn down.Even his tense expression somewhat relaxed.
"You're right! Still, we can confirm Lucian is targeting us now. In that case, there's no need for us to be furtive anymore. We shallface him head-on. But I'm curious why those Epean clients are so hard to sway. Are they really that loyal to Lucian, or does hepossess some dirt on them?"
This time, Shawn suffered a loss without fully grasping the reason behind his defeat.Coralie contemplated for a few moments but couldn't provide him with an answer either.
Frieda hesitated to speak. Noticing that, Shawn flashed a faint smile and said, "If you have something to share, go ahead. Youprobably know more than we do."
Only then did Frieda begin to explain in a soft tone, "| heard from my brother that Lucian personally nurtured these Epean clientsfrom scratch, so they likely reported to him right after we contacted them. | ever suspect Mr. Paolo's visit was specifically tolocate us."
Coralie narrowed her eyes andchimed in, "So, Mr. Paolo deliberatelypretended to be a lecher to lower-ourguard.

A group of three clientswas just right-not too many to raisesuspicion, yet not too few to make usfeel unmotivated." The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
After listening to her analysis, Shawn mulled over his erroneous judgment. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Ultimately,we underestimated Lucian."
"Indeed. Lucian's working style is verycomplicated, sometimes sincere,sometimes domi egri(g, aacO a8)sometiheScuinning, making himhard to predict," Frieda saidobjectively after she noticed Shawnhad regained his rationality. Thecontent is on NovelDrama.Org! Read

Coralie curled the corner of her lips into a sneer. "Shawn, he really is your biggest rival in this lifetime. You must try harder toavoid suffering overly humiliating defeats."
Shawn shot a cold glance at hissister, warning her, "That goeswithout saying. I'll bear my own

The siblings jibed at one another in a lighthearted manner.
Frieda figured she would need more time to adapt to that kind of atmosphere. To the best of her recollection, her arguments withher own brother would always escalate quickly.
