Cole stood up and poured a glass of red wine for Myles, saying, "Mr. Tam, that was a funny joke. When my baby divorced her ex-husband, he was so stingy that he didn’t give her a penny. In that case, how could he help her?"
"Not a single penny?" Myles looked at Amber in surprise.
"No, not even a house or a car. So, Mr. Tam, how about you take some pity on her and sell her Maxmatch?" Cole took Amber's shoulder.
Amber shook his hand off, "Mr. Tam, ignore his nonsense. Back then, I volunteered to forsake everything."
When she was about to say something, a couple walked over arm in arm from not far away.
"Mr. Tam, so you are here. Ms. Reed, Mr. Lyon, you are here as well. What a coincidence." Makenna greeted them with a coquettish smile.
Cole stretched, "Not a coincidence. I don't want to see you guys at all."
Makenna looked awkward for a moment before quickly adjusting her expression, "Mr. Lyon, you are as impolite and straightforward as ever."
Covering the back of his head with both hands, Cole leisurely spun his chair, "No way. For the people I dislike, I have always been like this. Ms. Gardner, unfortunately, you are one of them."
"Cole Lyon..." Makenna's face turned pale with anger.
Jared embraced her in his arms, looking sullen.
Seeing this, Amber pulled Cole, "Well, let's stop here. Don't forget what I told you during the day."
"Don't worry. I have a sense of propriety." Cole shrugged his shoulders.
They talked intimately and closely, a scene which Jared found irritating.
Letting go of Makenna, he looked at Myles, saying, "Mr. Tam, regarding the acquisition conditions I mentioned last time, what do you think of them?"
"I'm still considering them." Myles pointed at Amber, adding, “Your ex-wife wants to acquire my company as well. She is negotiating with me. Her terms are the same as yours. I thought you gave her the idea."
Jared’s eyes imperceptibly flinched. He said, “No! I am determined to acquire your company. No way that I will let others get it.”
Hearing these words, Amber twitched the corner of her mouth, no longer feeling suspicious in her mind.
Yes. Jared found her an eyesore. How could he help her?
Moreover, God proposes, man disposes. If Jared could figure out such an idea, in her opinion, Z could as well.
Seeing that Amber was no longer suspicious out of the corner of his eyes, Jared was relaxed.
He had expected that her coming to talk with Myles would make her suspicious of Z's identity.
That was why he made this trip and made such a statement just now, which was to dispel her doubts.
"Unfortunately, Mr. Farrell, I am determined to get Maxmatch as well." Amber raised her head, looking at Jared.
Jared’s face didn’t change. He said lightly, "Is that so? Let's see which one Mr. Tam will choose!"
"Of course, he will choose Goldstone Co.." Cole rested his hand on the chair behind Amber.
Makenna lightly ruffled the hair at the temples of her ears, smiling, "Practically, the Farrell Group is a better choice. While Goldstone is on the edge of the cliff. What do you think, Mr. Tam?"
Amber put down the wine glass, saying with a sullen look, "Ms. Gardner, do you know what first come, first served means? Goldstone is now negotiating with Mr. Tam. You came uninvited, asking Mr. Tam to reject Goldstone. This isn’t appropriate, is it?"
"Exactly." Cole sneered at Jared, "Mr. Farrell, your fiancée doesn't know the rules, violating a taboo in the business field. You wouldn't be ignorant of that too, would you?"
Seeing that Cole was mocking him enigmatically, Jared felt uncomfortable in his heart, pulling Makenna's hand, "Let's go."
Makenna bit her lips, "Jared, did…did I do something wrong?"
"It's not a serious mistake. Just pay attention to it in the future."
They two walked away in unison.
Cole skimmed his mouth, "Sure enough, that guy defends Makenna so much that he can forsake his principles."
Feeling the sorrow in her heart, Amber didn’t respond.
Jared regarded Makenna the love of his life.
Of course, he would defend her.
