A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 127

No one has ever trusted her so much, except Louis, and Mr. Smith is the second one to be so.

Lily no longer hesitates, but nods cautiously. Her eyes are very firm, and she says in determination, "Don't worry, I will be the acting president and help the Smith Group go through the difficulties!"

Mr. Smith is very satisfied with it, so he asks Meghan to draw up a letter of appointment and send it to him. He signs his name on the letter and later the document would be notified to the whole Smith Group by electronic file.

With the chairman of the board signing on the appointment letter, no one dares to disagree.

As for who would be the "acting President", after nearly three-hours of discussing, it finally draws a conclusion. The shareholders and the top management have left, and Mr. Smith is not well, so he leaves, too.

Lily personally sees off the shareholders. When she comes back, she meets Jason who is going to leave, but she does not get out of the elevator. After Jason comes in, Lily presses the elevator button on the first floor.

The elevator descends with a faint noise.

Standing there without looking back, Lily calmly asks, "Why did you speak for me in the meeting?"

When Jason came to the meeting room, she found him more haggard than when she has seen him in the hospital. He has lost his former high spirits, and with these actions today, she feels that he has changed a lot.

"I was not defending you. What I said is the truth. It was my fault." Jason says.

He looks over as if forcing himself not to look at anything, but his eyes still fall on Lily. He looks at her deeply, with complication, guilt and remorse in his eyes.

Lily purses her lips.

After the elevator reaches the first floor, she finally turns to Jason and holds out her hand. "Anyway, thanks, Jason. We have gotten even now."

Jason hesitates and holds her hand. He realizes that they have been married for more than a year, not only have they been sleeping apart, but he has only held her hand very few times.

The woman's hands are warm and delicate, with light fragrant, and he doesn’t want to let go.

Jason stares at Lily. Her eyes are moisturized, and her lips press indifferently. His Adam's apple moves a bit and then he says, "Lily, if I say I regret it, do you believe me?"

"I do." Lily has seen through everything from his eyes, but she is clam. She pulls out her hand resolutely, "But it doesn't matter anymore."

The little affection she has for him has long vanished with the passing of time.

The elevator doors open to both sides, and Lily moves two steps aside to make way.

Jason sees that she lowers her eyes. He moves his lips and wants to say something. Finally, he just says, "Goodbye." Then he walks out of the elevator in frustration.

It is he himself who let go of Lily. He can’t blame anyone.

As it happens, Olivia and Richard descend from another elevator, and when Olivia sees Lily, her face darkens again and she follows Richard out of the Smith Group in a huff.

Olivia is surprised and doesn't say anything right away. She only reminds that, "It's too risky to do that with half the shares in Mr. Smith’s hand."

Richard says, "Carmen, the vice president, has been thinking of swallowing the Smith Group for a long time, but he fears Mr. Smith. We two will cooperate with him. He wants the company, and we can take the shares and the money. It’s a win-win cooperation. Even if there is any risk, it is he who bears the consequence.”

"Do you want to spend your life abroad, living without power or money? We went to great lengths to expand the Smith Group, and it turns out to be Mr. Smith's adopted son. Olivia, you should consider for Jackson."

Olivia bows her head, lost in thought.

Because Louis gets in the way, so her son has not been promoted for a long time. If this plan is successful, Jackson can get promotion effortlessly.

"Yes, nothing ventured, nothing gained." Olivia soon makes up her mind and smiles, “No matter how much we do for the Smith family, Mr. Smith will not think it important. Besides, the adopted son's legs are incapable now, and he has not yet woken up in the hospital. The future of the Smith Group is unknown. It is better to make a living for ourselves."

"He just has a problem with his legs. He will wake up sooner or later. He can work even if he is in a wheelchair. Maybe Mr. Smith will send him abroad for treatment. I have to think of a way." Richard says.

"Brother, what do you want to do?" Olivia glances at him and warns, "He's Mr. Smith’s adopted son. Louis’s friend got lots of guys to guard the inpatient department. If you really do something and get caught, we can't even keep our current wealth, and our plans would fall through."

“What friends?

Olivia thinks for a moment. "I don't know," she says, "It seems like some guys in New York are worried about Louis, but doesn't want to get involved with the Smith Group."

"Even if they want to, Mr. Smith won't agree." Richard snorts, and says with some confidence, "After we settle this matter with the Smith Group, we'll take the New York branch."
