At two o'clock in the afternoon, Violette got a call from Ramsey.
"Violette, let me know when you're free. The other party has agreed to meet with us. They want to a chat. Oh, by the way, do you have proof of assets? The market value of this building is at least 500 million."
Ramsey's words stunned Violette, "I remember the initial selling price of this building was 200 million US dollars."
"Yup, it's in a prime location. With the skyrocketing housing prices in recent years, its value has increased too."
"Alright. I'm not available today. Let's meet tomorrow!"
"Got it. I'll let them know right now."
Violette has an appointment with Odette in the afternoon.
Over the years, they kept in touch. Although they didn't talk often, their friendship remained strong.
The two met at a restaurant.
Odette held a bouquet of roses in her hands. Upon seeing Violette, she gave her a warm hug.
"Violette! You're finally back! If you didn't return, I would've considered cutting ties with you!"
In these four years, they had met twice.
Both times, Odette went abroad to find Violette.
Violette picked up the roses, sniffed them, and praised, "These flowers smell amazing."
"Violette, I wanted to pretend not to know you, but I couldn't help it! You haven't been back once in these four years!" Odette escorted her to the sofa. "This time ,you're back. you won't leave the country again, will you?"
"Of course, I'll leave again! Like for vacations and stuff."
"You seem to be in a good mood! Where are you living now?" Odette ordered a few signature dishes and handed her the menu.
Violette glanced at the menu and handed it to the waiter.
"Violette, I'm curious, why did you divorce Elijah? Did he cheat on you? But I've never heard of him having another woman! In the years you've been abroad, he hasn't had a new girlfriend either." Odette had been too shy to ask before, but now that Violette was here, she asked all her questions.
"Odette, if Ramsey had another woman in his heart, but she never appeared in your lives, could you accept it?" Violette asked back.
Odette suddenly understood, "You mean Elijah had another woman in his heart?"
Violette took a sip of water and said, "It's all in the past. We've been broken up for so long, now there's just the divorce procedure left."
"I never thought he could deceive himself like that. His friends think you hurt him, they think he's the most sincere man in the world, and you're the most vicious woman. I feel like throwing up now."
"Don't vomit, don't ruin my appetite." Violette's mood was calm, no fluctuations could be seen on her face.
"Alright! Let's not talk about that unpleasant man anymore! What are your plans for your next career plans ?"
"I plan to rebuild my father's company."
