Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 221

In short, no matter how they were truly feeling on the inside, every one of them appeared joyful and friendly with one another on the surface.

Celine lowered her gaze to the ground. She could hear the thumping beat of her heart as happiness pumped through her entire body. She thought she was going to faint out of great delight.

On the other hand, Jason had also recovered from his initial surprise and he understood his father’s intention within seconds.

His face tensed up. Despite feeling extremely reluctant, he could not express his mind at this moment.

Thomas and Sylvia settled on the important details before the former took his leave with Jason.

Once out of the Jennings residence, Jason could not hold it any longer. “Dad, why did you agree to their proposal? Weren’t you against me marrying Celine prior to this? Why the change of heart?”

Thomas replied indifferently, his face overcast. “Do you think I want this? But the situation doesn’t allow us to do as we please!

To be frank with you, the Morton Corporation is facing a critical crisis at the moment. A mysterious company from abroad with abundant funds has been trying to buy us out. Fortunately, I have the support of your uncles to overcome the problem.

However, they recently started to purchase the loose stock of our company. You don’t need me to remind you of those board members. Which one of them is not money-minded apart from your several uncles?

The other party will eventually break through the weak defense of our board members as long as they offer a generous sum. When that happens, even I will have no choice but to watch helplessly as they claim Morton Corporation as their own.

You’re my only son. I preside over the corporation for the time being but it’ll eventually be passed onto you. Those old foxes are still observing the situation. I should be able to hold them down as long as I take extra care.

But what would they think of your reputation if the scandals reach them somehow?

If you could mindlessly abandon an ex-fiancée of six years, in which those two years she spent tirelessly managing Fenghua Entertainment, do you think those loyal board members would still have faith in you?

Trust is difficult to earn but easily lost within seconds. Jason, we can’t make a wrong move this time! Therefore, we have to give in even if that means for you to marry that woman.”

Jason had no idea that Morton Corporation, which seemed functioning smoothly, had fallen to this state.

Despite being overwhelmed by the shocking news, he still refused to resign to the decision.

“But…”

“No more but! It’s just a woman, for goodness sake. If you really don’t want to see her that much then just think of her as a decoration to the house.

Besides, weren’t you falling head over heels for that woman before this? What’s with this hesitation now? It’s upsetting to see that you’re not taking on responsibility like a man!”

Thomas entered his car after the long speech.

“Bang.” He slammed the door, shutting out the remaining of Jason’s words.

The latter parted his lips as he watched the black car sped away in front of his eyes. He had failed to utter the rejection in the end.

With no other alternative, he heaved a helpless sigh and went for his own car.

Leith Corporation.

Gideon was sitting in the president’s office. The air in the room was tense.

Opposite of him stood Matthew who looked nervous. He was trembling with fear upon witnessing the President’s face darkened even more than before.

He suggested tentatively, “President, everything is within Missus’ control! You don’t have to concern yourself too much. Didn’t Missus call to inform you last time as well?”

Gideon laughed coldly.

“Within control? Did she plan for those idiots to abuse her as well?”

“…”

Matthew kept silent.

There was no correct answer to this question!
