Love At The Right Price

Chapter 43

At the Hardy Group, Evan arrived for work early in the morning and prepared the necessary documents for the handover process. There seemed to be a fervent look in his eyes as he did so.

The Colt Enterprise had developed quite progressively over the past few years, and the company was mainly involved in international trading and the design of high-ended female attire. They were also partly involved in the jewelry business. Their business scale was comparable to the Hardy Group back then when the Hardy Group had just taken over the Randall Group.

If it weren’t for Colt Enterprise being recently taken over by another company and a large-scale appointment of new management-level staff, the Hardy Group would not have stood a chance at collaboration.

“President Hardy, the director of Colt Enterprise will arrive shortly. We’re quite fortunate to have been able to get this opportunity to collaborate with them. If we can succeed in cinching this deal, then our financial issues will be a problem of the past.”

Evan’s personal assistant was full of smiles and he was in a very relaxed mood at the moment. In the past, Evan had built up the company slowly and worked hard to run the place. Though he couldn’t quite achieve a booming business, based on the Hardy Family’s background in the corporate world, he could still easily maintain the business in its current state.

However, Evan then got together with Lily, and she was a troublemaker who couldn’t stop comparing herself with the others. She tended to spend money recklessly, so Evan had given her a position in the company to ensure that she spent her time meaningfully.

Nonetheless, Lily was completely clueless about the ways of running a business, and she had made several investments in industries that went downhill. Furthermore, she had lost more than tens of

millions to some scam. In the end, the Hardy Group ended up with a cash flow issue because of her mismanagement, and they were forced to bring in some investment to maintain the company profile.

“Why am I not included in such a major matter?” Presently, Lily suddenly walked in. She was dressed in a white lace dress with beautiful patterns on it, and it accentuated her slender figure.

Five years ago, after a series of incidents, Evan had publicly revealed Lily’s true identity in order to stay out of the public eye.

He had publicly stated that she wasn’t in fact his biological sister but merely an adopted daughter of their family.

Three years ago, the two of them had gotten married. However, the news of their marriage didn’t cause a ripple because they had taken time to slowly develop the relationship.

At that moment, Evan curved his lips into a smile. “Yes, I know. You’re so capable, so of course I have to bring you along!”

Just then, Evan’s personal assistant snorted coldly deep down.

Lily had made use of her position as the president’s wife and she had caused a lot of trouble in the company. She had even come up with all sorts of excuses to fire many of those pretty and capable young ladies working for the company.

At the same time, she had also gotten involved in the company’s finances, and she had mismanaged five million and used it for her own interest.

After her misdeed had been uncovered, Evan merely dealt with it in a lenient manner despite initially making a huge fuss about it. He had basically instructed Lily to pay back the amount she had taken,

and the matter was then considered resolved.

Just then, there was a knock on the door and Evan’s expression suddenly turned solemn. At that moment, he exuded the aura of a domineering, rich, tycoon.

“Come in.”

Lily quickly checked her appearance. She knew that Director Randall was a woman, so the former didn’t want to appear less appealing.

At that instance, a woman entered the room and instantly, there were looks of surprise on Evan and Lily’s faces.

Tamara walked into the room dressed in a black lace dress and it perfectly highlighted her curves. Her dainty face was milky-white and there was an alluring look in her eyes. In the past, Tamara had been quite beautiful too. However, over time, she was now much more irresistible and left a long-lasting impression on one.

“Tamara? Why are you here?” Lily revealed an utterly shocked expression as she involuntarily took a few steps backward.

She turned around to look at Evan and she caught the look of admiration in his eyes. In response, she clenched her fists tightly.

Tamara, on the other hand, disregarded Lily’s question and turned to look at Evan. “President Hardy, you must have been too occupied with work. Have you forgotten that you were supposed to sign the agreement with Colt Enterprise?”

“Are you the director assigned by Colt Enterprise?” Lily’s voice immediately turned shrill.

–

After her outburst, she suddenly realized that she was behaving abominably, so she quickly collected herself and her expression changed immediately. With a smile, she mentioned, “Evan, look-since Tamara is the director of Colt Enterprise, then we don’t even need to go through the agreement. We should just head off for lunch and let the others check on the agreement terms. Surely Tamara has our best interests at heart.”
