Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire novel Chapter 124

On a Monday evening, Adrian and Riley rested early. They had already fallen asleep when Adrian's phone suddenly rang.

Adrian took the call because it was from Engineer Philips. Adrian asked, "Hello? What seems to be the matter?"

"Mr. King? Mr. Wright of Braeton City is having cold feet," Engineer Philips revealed.

"Cold feet? How?" Adrian got up from the bed, immediately massaging his temples.

"We don't know, Sir. He apologized and said he is considering another company to work with," Engineer Philips answered.

"No. No." Adrian instructed, "Since you are already in Braeton City, meet him first thing in the morning. He can't go wrong with us. Instead of Wednesday, I'll fly out to see him tomorrow. I'll have Clint charter a flight for me."

"Tell him that if he still feels we are not the best firm for the construction after our meeting, then I will accept his decision," Adrian expressed.

"Got it, Sir," Engineer Philips agreed.

Adrian called Clint to arrange his flight. When he was done, Adrian felt his wife's touch. She asked, "You are going to Braeton tomorrow?"

"I'm going to have to move my plans forward, Honey. Kyle Wright suddenly wanted to cancel our meeting. It seems like he wanted to collaborate with another company," Adrian revealed.

"Oh, no. You have to get it, Hun," Riley said before pouting.

"I know, but since I'm leaving tomorrow, does that mean you can't join me in Braeton?" Adrian asked.

Riley bit her lip. A famous jewelry blogger would feature the store tomorrow, which was equally important. She answered, "I don't think so, Hun."

"It's fine. I won't be gone for long. Just make sure, wherever you go, bring Max with you," Adrian instructed before kissing Riley's lips and settling back in bed.

"Got it," Riley said before closing her eyes.

The next day, In Braeton City, Engineer Philips did his best to salvage the potential partnership with the Wright Diamond Corporation.

Their meeting was held at the First Diamond Hotel conference room. Before Kyle Wright and his assistant, the engineer, presented all of ACE Construction's acquired projects.

"These are huge, Engineer Philips," said Kyle, CEO of the Wright Diamond Corporation. "The profile of ACE Construction Firm boasts numerous high-level projects."

"Megaworld Entertainment Plaza?" Kyle complimented, "Very impressive."

"It is a hundred billion-dollar project, Mr. Wright. It is going to be one of the best entertainment plazas across the country, and we have been entrusted to build it," the engineer proudly said.

"Okay, you have my attention," Kyle said, closing the ACE Construction profile folder. "I apologize for trying to cancel my meeting with your CEO, but I'm glad he made time to meet with me today. I prefer to get to know him personally."

"Partnerships aren't just about financial benefits," Kyle represented. "Sometimes, you need the right mix of compatibility. In other words, we need to get along, at the very least."

"You see, I met someone during my trip to Hawaii, and I am considering giving him the contract," Kyle revealed. "Someone you probably already know, given that your company is based in the same city."

Engineer Philip's eyes rounded. He asked, "Who is it, Mr. Wright?"

"Do you know Adrian King?" Kyle inquired.

"Adrian King? As in Adrian King?" Engineer Philips clarified.

"I believe there is only one: the wheelchair billionaire with his hair up to his nape. He has a tan complexion, I guess, from all the sports that he does," Kyle described.

Next, he was on the phone speaking to his wife. Kyle asked, "Give me Miley King's number, Beautiful."

Engineer Philips, "???"

"What? It is Miley! Smiley? Ripley?" Kyle asked his wife on the phone, confusing Engineer Philips altogether.

"Why? Because I am seeing Adrian King's Doppelgänger. Just give me the number," Kyle demanded, and finally, he got the number he requested.

After calling his wife, he called Riley and said on the phone, "Mrs. King, this is Kyle Wright. Do you mind giving me your husband's number?"

Engineer Philips, "???"

When he finally got Adrian's number, he called the man's phone.

Adrian had to pick up the call and answered it, "Mr. Wright. It's me, Adrian King. The one and only."

Kyle ended the call. He pointed at Adrian, saying, "I was only playing with you. I knew it was you all along. Haha!"

"Wow! Adrian King is not only a stand-in CEO of The King's Enterprises, but he is also the CEO of ACE Construction Firm?" Kyle said. He buttoned up his coat and said, "Just so you know, The Wright Diamond Corporation is a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate with many companies under it. I am the CEO of all those companies."

Adrian laughed. He answered, "And I praise The Wright Diamond Corporation for its continued growth under your leadership, Mr. Wright. One day, I hope to learn from you. How is little Kenneth?"

When the young Wright boy was mentioned, Kyle's expression softened. He smiled and said, "My son is loving the water. Thank you, Adrian."

"I guess this means we are partners!" Engineer Philips excitedly claimed.
