Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 84

"Douglas" took the document from her and said indifferently, "In case you forget, your major has nothing to do with business."

Summer was tongue-tied.

She knew that he had already investigated her when they got married. It was not a surprise that he knew her major and the fact that she was utterly ignorant of doing business.

"Douglas" skimmed through it before putting it aside. He frowned.

Summer asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Douglas" glanced at her and said, "There’s nothing valuable in it. The Jarrett Group won’t secure the project."

Dishes were served and Leonardo picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

Summer picked the document up doubtfully and read it again. She was unable to wrap her head around.

However, since she asked "Douglas" for help, she should trust him. Summer didn’t ask any question.

...

In the afternoon, Vicky went to negotiation along with her team.

The company that they were going to cooperate was Tengsen Ltd., a medium-sized business in Hoover City. Its business prospects were better than the Jarrett Group.

They waited at the conference room. The person in charge of the project came after a while.

The manager was a middle-aged woman in her forty. Her hair was dressed meticulously. She seemed to be very competent.

Vicky stood up and greeted her in an arrogant manner, "Ms. Flora, nice to see you again."

Ms. Flora glanced at her and sat down, ignoring her greeting. She cut to the chase, "I made it very clear last time that you need to show your sincerity for the negotiation to continue."

Vicky turned to look at Summer and said to Ms. Flora, "My father, the chairman of the Jarrett Group, sent his two daughters to discuss the project. Isn't this enough?"

Ms. Flora darted an impatient look at Summer and her expression became even gloomier. She hated people who pulled strings. She had never liked Vicky. The fact that Vicky brought a useless sister to the negotiation annoyed Ms. Flora even further.

"Sorry, I have a meeting at three o'clock. Excuse me." Ms. Flora stood up and left.

"Douglas" said the Jarrett Group would not secure the project. Summer finally knew why.

Ms. Flora was not a pushover and she looked down on Vicky. But Vicky put on airs as if she was someone very important, and even brought Summer to the negotiation, which annoyed Ms. Flora.

Seeing Ms. Flora leaving, Vicky said, "Summer is inexperienced, but she is very hard working. Ms. Flora, why don’t you give it a second thought?"

Ms. Flora's footsteps quickened.

Summer frowned and had a vague idea of why Vicky brought her here.

Ms. Flora should be in the management of the company. She was experienced and a senior leader. But the Jarrett Group sent Vicky who wasn't capable enough. Now, Summer made things even worse.

This was an insult to Ms. Flora and a disregard for the project.

When Ms. Flora was out, Vicky turned around with a long face and scolded Summer, "Daddy values this project very much. Now that you've screwed it up, let’s see how he will punish you!"

Summer didn’t expect that.

She clearly didn't say a single word when Ms. Flora was here. How come she was the one who screwed up the project and left to bear the blame?
