She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1142

Chapter 1142 Unexpected Beginning

Seeing Kevin's still calm expression after facing him, Jacob glared at him, wanting to rush up and tear him apart!

And seeing him glaring at Kevin angrily, Markus stood up and made a pressing motion to Kevin. Then he got up and said to Jacob calmly,

"Mr. Wood, we have known each other for a long time. You don't need to go through so much trouble to visit me, do you?"

"Do you also know that?!" Jacob turned his head and glared at Markus, questioning in a stern voice, "In your eyes, is an old acquaintance a relationship where someone stabs you in the back?"

Markus laughed at his excuse and asked without any concern,

"Mr. Wood, what you said is wrong. What is stabbing in the back? I didn't do anything to harm you."

"No?!" Setting up this foundation was originally a collaborative project that Mr. Wood had discussed with you beforehand. We had already submitted our proposals, but you turned around and partnered with Fabulous Dav's instead. Isn't this disrespectful to Mr. Wood? Mr. Hale, you are an old friend of the Wood family. Isn't resorting to such tactics beneath you?" Before Jacob could even speak, Leon angrily listed Markus' charges.

Even in the face of Leon's aggressive questioning, Markus remained calm and had a smile on his face. At this moment, Kevin next to him stood up and insincerely said,

"Mr. Hale, let me explain this to Mr. Wood myself. Otherwise, it would be too difficult for you."

He wanted to take the opportunity to mock Jacob, but...

"No, thank you," Markus waved his hand politely. He smiled and said, "Mr. Wood, I think you've misunderstood. Although Tready Threads is not a big company, it still ranks among the top ten in the state's financial industry. We have numerous financial investment projects under our umbrella and while it's true that we are collaborating with Fabulous Dav's, I don't see how that affects our relationship with you? Our project hasn't been terminated either."

As soon as Markus said this, not only Jacob but also Kevin beside him looked stunned.

What... What did it mean?

At this moment, Jacob and Kevin had the same thought in their minds. They both stared at Markus, with their eyes wide open. Jacob was confused, and the others were even more puzzled.

Markus's smile grew even wider as he continued speaking,

"Mr. Wood, I have known your father for a long time. How could I possibly do something that would disappoint him? Working with Fabulous Dav's is for another project. You have really misunderstood the situation."

"Mr. Hale!" Kevin frowned. It was different from what he had agreed with him!

Recently, Kevin heard that StandHill was interested in partnering with Tready Threads Finance. Kevin got involved and contacted them indirectly through Nia's friend, hinting at his willingness to collaborate and lowering the cost of cooperation to a minimum. He thought he had secured the project that Markus wanted to work on with Jacob!

But now what was this supposed to mean?!

Markus seemed prepared for Kevin's reaction and smiled as he looked at him, saying, "What's wrong? Do you also misunderstand?"

He was clearly doing it on purpose! As soon as Kevin heard this, he knew he had fallen into a trap. But why would Markus do this?

Jacob was cunning enough to instantly understand what Markus meant by his words. His stiff features slowly softened and he said with a smile, "Oh, I misunderstood! I thought you gave our project to Fabulous Dav's."
