After the lawyer reviews it, he keeps one agreement for himself and the other for them.
Then, Burnell takes a blue enamel jewelry box from the butler.
"Winona." Burnell hands her the jewelry box. "I haven't given you a gift since you came to the manor. How about this set of jewelry?"
When Lily sees the enamel jewelry box, she feels very familiar with it, as if she has seen it once in an auction album. It is valuable.
The box is very expensive, not to mention the jewelry inside.
However, Burnell gives Lily this box in front of so many people. She can't refuse him. So she has no choice but to take it.
"Thank you, Uncle."
Burnell smiles, "It's nothing. We're family, right?"
John, who is sitting beside Lily, looks at the jewelry box. His gaze darkens, but he doesn't say anything.
Soon the lawyers leave with their briefcases.
Jonathan is sure of that he will be the final winner of the VAM, so he always shows a cunning smile. During dinner, he even tells John that he can offer help if John needs.
Lily can't bear his hypocrisy and she feels unhappy. The dinner also ends in such an unhappy atmosphere.
After dinner, Lily goes upstairs with John.
After closing the door, Lily immediately asks him, "Which company did your father give you? He loves you so much, so he can't give you the company in Continent F, right?"
" ... No."
"Then where is the company?" Lily asks. Seeing that John doesn't look good, she also feels very nervous. "In the Middle East? It's good if the company is in the Middle East. The investors there are very rich."
John hands the document to her and forces a smile. "One is in the Capital of Country Z, and the other is in DB City of Country R."
Actually, he regrets it as soon as he sees the document. He wishes he can exchange it with Jonathan.
Because country Z is his hometown.
"Asia is the most economically developed region, and it does very well in export trade. The business of Krislier Group has never reached Asia, and it hasn't made any money in Asia," Lily reads the document and makes a quick analysis.
"The companies your father gives you are all in the first-tier cities with developed economy. As long as you make good plans and find investors, the company will grow quickly!"
"John, your father is paving the way for you! As long as you exploit the market in Asia, even if Jonathan wins three years later and gets Krislier Group, he will earn much less than you!"
Compared to Lily's excitement, John looks very calm, and he seems to be upset.
Of course he knows Burnell's intentions, but....
"I will draw up a strategic plan and take the best elites with me." John looks at Lily and says, "Lily, you've been rushing around after me for too long. I hope you can have a good rest during the pregnancy in the manor."
Lily shakes her head and refuses. "The manor is not ours. Jonathan will come back occasionally. He's a very thoughtful person. After a long time, he will definitely find some clues."
John steps towards her and says urgently, "I've bought a few houses elsewhere. You can come with me and see if you want to live there."
"John, I want to help you." Lily interrupts him, "Three years passes quickly. It's easy for Jonathan to put his spies in your company. You need someone you can trust to help you with the companies in Asia."
"There are many people I can trust. Victor can go with me." John places his forehead on Lily's hand. "I just don't want you to be so hard since you're pregnant. I...."
Lily knows what he's thinking about. She purses her lips and says, "I've broken up with him and I've told you that I will take good care of the babies. I've only called my mother twice since I left. I miss her."
