"Graduated from a prestigious school, impressive resume," the assistant answered.
But what he found was only Charlotte's domestic resume.
Felix was dismissive. "What's a good resume going to do? The Frost family is wealthy and powerful. they don't need their wife's resume to make an impression."
The assistant guessed, "Well... maybe Mr. Frost just prefers this type of woman?"
Men have different tastes and preferences. Some like red roses, while others prefer gardenias.
Felix took this in and, flipping through the documents, pondered, "So she's in Jeswood now?"
"Yes."
"Let's go."
Felix grabbed his car keys and was ready to leave in a hurry. The longer he delayed, the greater the chance the project would fall into someone else's hands. And he was determined to win it.
"Mr. Lennox..." The assistant hesitated. "We... we can't afford to offend them either."
Felix paused for a moment. "What do you mean?"
It was just the founder of the Charlotte Jewelry. Besides, he wasn't going to do anything extreme. He was just going try to persuade or coerce Charlotte to come back to Jelaston and continue to be Mrs. Frost.
The assistant handed him his phone, showing recent news. "Do you know who owns the property Charlotte is staying in Jeswood?"
"Who?" Felix glanced at the phone and was immediately infuriated. "The Smith family? Didn't he die two years ago? Even if Charlotte has some connection with him, I'm not afraid of a dead man!"
"Recent rumors say he's not dead."
