The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 721

On Saturday, Winona finished her meeting at the Locke Group's R&D department and prepared to leave.

Camille Locke was waiting for her by the conference room door.

"Winona, let's talk."

The look in Camille's eyes had lost its usual arrogance, replaced by respect and friendliness.

Winona smiled.

In Camille's eyes, the only people worthy of respect were those with a matching family background.

Winona stepped into Camille's office.

There was a manual espresso machine in the room. Usually, Camille only brewed coffee herself for her most esteemed clients.

Today, she made a cup for Winona for the very first time.

Winona was slowly beginning to realize that once she became part of the upper crust, those who had originally looked down on her would instantly change their tune.

It wasn't that they didn't understand respect, kindness, and tolerance; it was simply that, in their eyes, people from the bottom of the social ladder weren't worthy of their goodwill.

Camille spent five minutes carefully preparing the coffee.

Winona didn't touch it.

She was pregnant, so she wasn't drinking caffeine—and she certainly wasn't going to consume anything offered by a Locke.

Seeing her abstain, Camille assumed she was still holding a grudge over the past. She offered a smile. "Winona, you're a shareholder of the Locke Group now. We're all in the same boat. Having an extra friend is always better than having another enemy, isn't it?

"As long as you can help us nail the HSV-121 project, we can keep collaborating. The terms are highly negotiable, and we can make money together. Isn't that great? As for Yulen, if you don't want to deal with him, you can just work with me from now on. I promise I won't do anything to make you uncomfortable."

Winona had guessed she would say exactly this.

But what Camille definitely couldn't guess was that Winona had absolutely no intention of continuing to work with the Locke Group.
