Love Together, Be With You Never

Chapter 42 Taking Over CH Unexpectedly

I watched coldly as Marvin made a phone call. I wasn't worried at all. How could Marvin know Kieran's

personal number? Marvin was just playacting. From NôvelDrama.Org.

"Okay, yes, we'll be expecting you tomorrow night!" Marvin hung up the phone with a brilliant smile. It

was too hard to ignore.

"Rachael, Mr. Charles has agreed. Come with him tomorrow night!" Marvin patted me on the shoulder

cheerfully.

I dodged but was uncertain. "Marvin, don't lie to me. How could you have his number!"

Marvin smirked. "Rachael, you underestimate Dad. My company is doing business with Universal

Group. I don't have his personal number, but I can have his work number!"

"Rachael, do come home with him tomorrow night for dinner. Don't be shy!" Shania also said with a

smile. Then, they got into the car and left happily.

They took me by surprise.

Why would Kieran agree to have dinner at my father's house? I watched them driving away and felt a

little disturbed. However, I had signed a contract with Kieran. It stipulated that during the contract

period, I had no right to interfere with his decisions.

I shook my head. Davidson's safety was enough for me. I didn't care about anything else, let alone a

dinner at Marvin's house.

I went back to my apartment with that in mind. Perhaps because Davidson was safer now, I slept

soundly tonight. Unfortunately, I received a call from Marlon as soon as I arrived at the company the

next morning.

"Come over, now!" Marlon ordered on the phone.

I really wanted to hang up on him, but Marlon said indifferently, as if he had read my mind, "It's about

CH!" Immediately after, the call ended.

I was stupefied for a moment holding my phone. I worked my ass off for the CH project, but it didn't

seem to work out. I didn't understand why Marlon called me about the CH project. I wanted to ignore

him, but I felt jumpy sitting there, so I grabbed my purse and went to Marlon Group.

I had to admit I was holding onto a glimmer of hope. Perhaps Marlon finally decided to sell CH to

Universal Group!

"Ms. Cornell, Mr. Redford is waiting for you in the office!" The minute I entered the building, the

receptionist greeted me and politely walked me upstairs. From the look of it, this was Marlon's

arrangement.

His office was on the top floor. The door was closed. I pushed it open and walked in. Marlon was not

reading files but sitting on the sofa savoring red wine. When he saw me, he smiled faintly and said,

"Hello!"

I was surprised by that smile. I couldn't remember how long I hadn't seen it. It felt long enough. Or

rather, he charmed me with it when we first met.

Obviously, his smile was bewitching. It melted the heart with just the right amount of allure, like the best

whiskey, pure at sight but pungent in taste. It could make a woman lose herself.

I took a deep breath, calmed down, and smiled as I walked over. "Mr. Redford, I wonder if you've

decided to entrust CH to me."

Marlon slowly took another sip of wine before putting down the glass. "Yes, I gave it some thought and

think it's best it is in your hands!"

My mind went blank. Taking over CH from Marlon felt like a pipedream to me. I had been just testing

the water, and his agreement was beyond my anticipation.

"Mr. Redford, I hope it is not a joke. I remember you were determined not to sell it to me no matter how

hard I begged you!" I suppressed my excitement.

Marlon played with his wrist. "It is different now. Alicia got tired of CH, so what's the point of keeping it!"

I wanted to laugh. Sure enough, there was always something else behind a good deal. I took a deep

breath and smiled, "The market value of CH is more than 500 million, but that number is the highest

that Universal Group can offer!"

Marlon looked up at me with calm eyes. "Rachael, I also took what you said that day into consideration.

You worked for me for four years, so we should part ways on good terms. I think it's proper to sell it to

an old friend than a stranger. Consider this a settling of scores!"

My heart ached out of the blue. I smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Redford, for being so considerate!"

"Take a look. If there's no problem, sign them." Marlon pushed two contracts in front of me. I took a

closer look and found the terms detailed and fair to Universal Group.

"What's this?" The last two pages were written in English.

"This is the English translation of the contract. Marlon Group and Universal Group are both influential,

so translation is in order!" Marlon said.

Although my English was average, I understood most of it. Marlon was right. It was a translation of the

Chinese contract. I quickly signed it, because I didn't want to give Marlon the chance to regret his

choice.

To be honest, although I was quite grateful to Kieran, Kieran was an unfathomable demon. I was afraid

he would play Judas. Moreover, everyone knew he bought me, so I was under a lot of pressure. If

possible, I preferred leading a normal life.

Besides, I would be worried if Davidson was out of my life. His five years in this world had been cold

and devoid of love. I couldn't bear to see him spend another day like that.

Moreover, my contract with Kieran stipulated if I were to obtain CH, it would become null. After I signed

this contract at hand, I would be free from Kieran and be able to pay off Davidson's 100,000-yuan

operation fee. After that, his rent wouldn't be much of a problem.

"Alright, I hope we can work well together." Marlon also signed his name on the contracts and extended

his hand to me.

I looked at it and hesitated for a moment. Finally, I reached out and held this long-lost warm hand. "Mr.

Redford, I do, too. Also, thank you!"

Sunlight shone through the huge French windows, and my heart finally stopped bleeding. This person

had caused me too much pain. I had loved him, and I still did. It was like an instinct. Just like

Sunflowers were destined to follow the sun, and without it, they would wither. However, let the thick soil

bury my love six-feet deep and never reveal it again.

All the heartbreak and love were buried here in this sunshine. At least, this was a good way to say

goodbye to him.

In the end, he showed me mercy.

I took the contract and happily returned to Universal Group, straight to Kieran's office.

"Mr. Charles, I have signed the contract for the acquisition of the CH Project!" I placed the contract on

Kieran's desk. Kieran flipped through it and didn't say anything.

"Mr. Charles, thank you for looking out for me during this period, but I think our contract should be

rescinded since I have got CH!"
