Reborn on Wedding Night: Flirting the Cold Bigshot into Blushes-Chapter 418: The Unattainable Is Always Restless
Last time Marsh Smith encountered Nancy Allen and Julius Shaw at the hospital.
He felt upset.
How could Nancy Allen be involved with Julius Shaw?
If even that useless Julius Shaw could be, then why couldn’t he?
If Nancy Allen no longer liked Godfery Shaw, then he thought he still had a chance.
After the outburst at the hospital, he didn’t see the result he wanted; those rumors were quickly suppressed.
Lately, Marsh Smith has been looking for opportunities to get close to Nancy Allen, hoping to talk to her alone.
But he couldn’t get near the Imperial Garden, so he could only find Nancy Allen’s flower shop.
But Nancy Allen wasn’t at the flower shop, so he left his contact information with the woman at the store, sent some gifts, provided some benefits, and discreetly inquired for information.
But Nancy Allen still never came, and this woman contacted him from time to time, which was starting to make him impatient.
But today, he finally received news about Nancy Allen.
Marsh Smith was delighted and immediately got up to find Nancy Allen, even ignoring the college pretty boy.
Then he received another message.
"You said that my store owner isn’t anyone important, yet she goes out with bodyguards, scolding others at will. If I were born privileged like her, I’d surely be gentle and approachable, but since I come from a poor background, life is different. Are you coming by tomorrow?"
Reading this message, Marsh Smith stopped in his tracks.
Nancy Allen had bodyguards with her; if he rashly ran over, he still wouldn’t be able to be alone with her.
Right now, the most important thing was to make Nancy Allen see the true face of Julius Shaw.
If it were Young Master Shaw, Marsh Smith would naturally watch from afar and wouldn’t interfere in the slightest.
But as for this notoriously horrible and violent Young Master Shaw, why should he be by her side? Since Godfery so shamelessly handed Nancy Allen over to his brother, he couldn’t blame him for taking her.
So, Marsh Smith sent the news of Nancy Allen shopping with the young student to Young Master Shaw.
He spent quite some effort to get Young Master Shaw’s contact information and wouldn’t let it go to waste.
When that strange-tempered Young Master Shaw arrived, with his perverted possessiveness, he would surely cause a fuss with Nancy Allen.
Years back, he didn’t treat Nancy Allen well, and she held grudges against him, but maybe when compared with the even worse Young Master Shaw, Nancy Allen might see his change.
Marsh Smith couldn’t help but think so.
That’s how people are; they are always troubled by what they can’t have, and they can’t forget what they could never own.
While Marsh Smith was doing all this, his phone was constantly buzzing with messages from Alva King, making him frown.
He didn’t directly admit that he was gathering information on Nancy Allen, afraid of stirring her displeasure, so he approached that store clerk, offered some incentives, and subtly inquired. Now it seemed this woman was becoming a bit too greedy.
Impatiently, Marsh Smith directly transferred 10,000 to Alva King via WeChat, and the messages quieted down.
Thrilled over the transfer, Alva King was overjoyed; this wealthy man suddenly being so good to her, surely he had taken a liking to her, Alva King pulled out a mirror, satisfied to look at her face, and continued to practice makeup.
The news quickly reached Julius Shaw.
Julius Shaw was currently in the conference room of the company.
He was impatiently sitting in the main seat, listening to this group of people talking.
"Boss Shaw, I am questioning your recent decisions. We are in a great position; it’s a perfect time to expand, so why are we holding back?"
"You have always acted decisively and effectively. Although we are based in this small Riverwood City, none of the four major families in the Capital City dare to underestimate us. Now that you want to hold back, I think you should consult everyone’s opinion."
"Boss Shaw, you should focus more on business. Lately, we haven’t been able to find you, leaving Basil Smith to hold down the fort; how is that possible? While Basil Smith is capable, ultimately, he is an outsider."
Basil Smith was present at the meeting.
Lately, with Godfery Shaw absent, almost all company matters were handled by Basil Smith. Those old-timers in the company had long been dissatisfied with him.
Today, with Julius Shaw’s presence, all the pent-up grievances erupted, directly labeling Basil Smith as an outsider.
Of course, no one knew that the person sitting in the main seat was Julius Shaw.
Basil Smith was somewhat apprehensive; not about the accusations against him, but worried about the Second Young Master’s uncontrollable anger.
Julius Shaw didn’t quite understand these company decisions, nor was he as scheming as these old foxes present. He only knew how to respond maliciously to maliciousness aimed at him.
And sitting in this main seat, he felt maliciousness coming at him from all directions.
This covert malice made it difficult for Julius Shaw to contain his inner violence.
Why did Nancy Allen want him at the company? What’s so good about this company? He couldn’t understand what these people were saying; those messy reports and data were annoying.
At that moment, Julius Shaw suddenly felt that perhaps his brother’s life wasn’t so joyful either.
Julius Shaw had always harbored resentment against Godfery Shaw.
He felt like a ghost hidden in malice, while Godfery Shaw could live a glamorous life under this city’s neon lights.
Godfery Shaw could have all beautiful things.
Godfery Shaw could also have Nancy Allen.
Now, seeing all this, he suddenly felt that maybe it wasn’t easy for Godfery Shaw either.
At this moment, Julius Shaw’s phone rang. Few people knew his phone number, so he directly took out his phone to check.
The people around were even more dissatisfied.
"Boss Shaw, we’re having a meeting; can’t it wait until after the meeting to deal with it?"
"We hope Boss Shaw can focus on the company."
It was almost as if they were directly saying, don’t neglect your duties for a woman.
Julius Shaw opened the phone to see the news about Nancy Allen, and his face instantly darkened.
Nancy Allen was shopping with a young college student.
Before, on the court, he noticed Nancy Allen liked those lively young guys.
Suddenly, it felt like his heart was sour as if overturned by a jar of vinegar.
The old guys in this meeting were still chattering, making him upset.
Fearful, Julius Shaw smacked the table hard.
Basil Smith’s eyelid twitched, ready to intervene.
Yet Julius Shaw didn’t resort to violence; instead, he coldly said, "If you are so dissatisfied, you can take the president’s seat yourselves."
As those words fell, the conference room instantly quieted, and everyone became tense.
Cloudglow’s shares were different from other companies.
No major shareholders could influence the president.
All shareholders combined held less than half of Godfery’s shares.
To put it directly, it meant Godfery’s words were the final say.
But with Godfery Shaw being absent for so long and everything handed over to Basil Smith, all of them couldn’t bear it, jointly questioning.
After all, listening to Godfery Shaw was one thing, but taking orders from Basil Smith was another, right?
Godfery was steady and strong, always keeping everything under control, never giving these people so much opportunity to speak, much less saying things like you can take the position yourselves.
Meanwhile, Julius Shaw was arrogant and irritable; these people’s ramblings for so long were already an eyesore to him.
His sharp gaze swept across the conference room crowd, coldly speaking with hostility: "I’ve appointed Basil Smith to run the company, anyone have objections? Simple, anyone with an objection, just take your money and get lost; there are plenty of people wanting to join Cloudglow; kicking some out can free up space."
