Chapter 390 In Astonishment
Two hours later, the New Year's Eve dinner ended amidst laughter and joy. Everyone was full andsatisfied.
The group then spent about fifteen minutes cleaning up the dining room together. Fletcher Knightand his wife were responsible for washing dishes, while Stout and Judge took Tasha to thecourtyard to set off fireworks. Felicia went with Casey to join in on the fun.
"Billy, I'm so happy!" Harleen couldn't help but exclaim as she watched her family happily enjoyingthemselves. It was the happiest New Year's Eve she had experienced in years.
"Harleen, I promise that you will always be this happy from now on." Billy smiled and huggedHarleen tightly.
"Mm-hmm!" Harleen nodded slightly. "I believe you, husband!"
"What do you think of the capital city?" After watching fireworks for a while longer, Billy asked hersuddenly.
"The capital city?" Harleen was slightly taken aback. "It's neither good nor bad. Why are yousuddenly asking me this question?"
"If one day you were asked to live in the capital city, would you want to go?" Billy continued hisquestioning.novelbin
"What do you mean?" Harleen was confused again. "Billy, is there a change in your job? Are wegoing to move there soon?"
"Mm-hmm," Billy nodded his head before continuing, "There is a possibility of it happening butnothing has been confirmed yet. Even if I have to go eventually, it won't be several months later so Iwanted your opinion first."
"Really? Then please put your work first, if we have no choice then let's go! The conditions in allaspects of life are better in the capital than Ozin, and that would benefit Tasha's growth as well.Don't worry too much about me, since we're officially married now I'll follow wherever my husbandgoes. As long as our family can stay together it doesn't matter where we go, as for my job I canalways find another one when we get there."
"Harleen, you've finally established yourself at SunPark Group after working hard all these years,it'd be such a pity if you gave up your job now that everything is going smoothly."
"I might feel some regret or hesitation but compared with our family it isn't that important anymore.To me both your and Tasha are everything, anything else doesn't matter."
"Darling, there's something I've been keeping from you." Billy said with a smile before kissingHarleen on the forehead.
"You keep so many things from me!" Harleen rolled her. "So which one are you going to confesstoday?"
In the six months since they had met, she had only believed that Billy truly loved her and theirhome. Everything else was questionable. This husband of hers kept so many secrets!
Even the fact that he was the leader of SHADOW would have remained hidden if she hadn'tdiscovered it herself in Shenford last time.
Billy's mouth twitched slightly before he continued speaking. "Actually, my relationship with Mr Hinesis slightly closer than what I told you last time. I not only saved his life but also gave him some
money as capital for his comeback. He didn't disappoint me and finally made World Groupsuccessful."
"What do you mean?" Harleen was confused. "Honey, are you telling me that you're actually the realboss behind World Group?"
"No, Mr Hines is still the boss," Billy replied calmly. "But in some important matters, he listens to myadvice. And he is someone who repays kindness with gratitude, he has offered to transfer all ofWorld Group's shares to me several times already, I just haven't agreed yet."
"What?! Are you joking?" Harleen widened her beautiful eyes and exclaimed incredulously.
World Group was worth billions. And according to what she knew, they recently acquired coreindustries from three major families in Enssea and bought part of the Domans' industry as well.Conservatively estimating it meant that World Group's total output value exceeded 500-600 billion.
And now Billy told her that Mr Hines wanted to give such a behemoth away for free?!
Harleen found it hard to believe.
"Of course, I'm not joking." Billy smiled again. "In addition, I asked M Hines n to come open abranch office in Ozin because I want to fulfill my foster father's wish and complete Ozin Towerproject perfectly. The series of acquisitions by World Group later on were also done by Mr Hines atmy request."
"Including Sunpark Group?" Harleen took a deep breath to steady her emotions before responding.
"Mhm," Billy nodded and added, "But let me reiterate one thing, honey. Your promotion and salaryincrease at SunPark Group have nothing to do with me. It's because Mr Hines recognized yourtalent."
"I don't believe you! Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" Harleen glared at Billy. "If it weren't foryour relationship with Mr Hines, he wouldn't even know my last name!"
Although she was a confident woman, she never overestimated herself. There were plenty ofpeople in Ozin branch of World Group who were more capable than her. If it weren't for herhusband's influence, there was no way she would have landed the CEO position.
After some thought, Harleen looked back up at Billy and asked, "Honey, you didn't just tell me thisinformation without any ulterior motives did you?" She knew Billy well enough that he wouldn'tmention anything without having another purpose behind it.
Billy laughed in response. "My smart wife! Mr Hines has been trying to transfer the ownership ofWorld Group to me but I've refused several times so he stopped asking. But recently he proposed anew idea which made me feel guilty so I verbally agreed."
"Are you trying to tell me that Mr Hines is settling for transferring Sunpark Group directly under myname?" Harleen immediately caught on.
"My clever wife!"
"Nope!"
"Why not?" Billy touched her hair while asking. He already knew what kind of reaction Harleenwould give; it was expected from someone like her.
"You helped out Mr Hines, and that's just friends helping each other out." After taking another deepbreath, Harleen continued speaking, "Just like how he helped promote me into this CEO position,that's also friends supporting each other, which can be understood. But giving us Sunpark group asa gift is too much! Don't forget its current value is almost one trillion dollars. We can't accept suchan expensive gift!"
