Chapter 887: Chapter 887 She He Loves Came Back (Part 1)_1
Howard Coleman: Before I fell in love with you, I didn’t understand what carved into one’s bones and engraved on one’s heart meant; before I lost you, I didn’t understand what heart-wrenching agony was.
Madeleine: Being by your side, even the pain feels like a beautiful dream.
–
Oceania, Paris.
At a seven-star hotel by the Seine, Pristine’s Enterprises’ successful IPO celebration banquet was underway.
The master of ceremonies stood on the brightly lit stage, and in proper French, announced with seriousness and grandeur, “Now, let us welcome the CEO of Pristine’s Enterprises, Ms. Madeleine!”

As the MC’s words came to an end, Madeleine, dressed in a long red gown, approached the stage with graceful and poised steps and stood beside the MC.
In just three years, the young oriental woman who masterminded a successful engineering project going public was, surprisingly, not very tall and petite compared to Europeans, with a beautiful and delicate appearance, eliciting a wave of astonishment from the audience, followed by a burst of countless camera flashes.
Madeleine gracefully took the microphone handed to her by the MC and began to speak in fluent and pure French, calmly addressing tonight’s guests and media, “I am delighted that amidst your busy schedules, you could attend the successful IPO celebration banquet of Pristine’s Enterprises, a joint project between Pristine’s Enterprises and FRESH. After three years and six months, we have finally reached a successful conclusion.”
As Madeleine’s voice paused, thunderous applause erupted throughout the venue.
The camera flashes grew even more intense.
Unruffled by the nerves or constriction, Madeleine waited with a smile for the applause and flashes to settle down before continuing calmly, “I would like to extend special thanks to all the employees of Pristine’s Enterprises. Thank you for your unwavering commitment and full effort over the past three years, allowing Pristine’s to create another brilliant miracle in Oceania!”
Although it was just a few simple words, they reminded the employees of Pristine’s Enterprises of the three and a half years of unity they had shared in overcoming one challenge after another to achieve this success. The applause grew even warmer.
Once Madeleine got off the stage, the celebration for the IPO officially began.
All the employees present came forward to toast Madeleine, who did not refuse any of them and cheerfully accompanied each one, draining every glass.
Although the alcohol content was not high, after dozens of glasses, Madeleine still felt somewhat overwhelmed, so she found a suitable moment to slip away to the balcony.
Leaning on the balcony, Madeleine could just see the glistening waves of the Seine, while behind her was the noisy banquet hall. The French are warm and jovial, and laughter was in the air, yet Madeleine, holding her wine glass, looked a bit forlorn.
“Ms. Madeleine, so you were here?” Just as Madeleine was lost in thought, a dry male voice suddenly came from behind her.
Madeleine turned her head to see Andrew Henris, who had been sent by FRESH to collaborate with her on the Pristine’s Enterprises project.
Andrew Henris was a French citizen of Chinese descent who had come to Oceania with his parents as a young boy.
Seeing Andrew, Madeleine quickly masked her emotions and offered a slight smile, “Mr. Henris.”
Andrew walked over to Madeleine, looking out at the night view of the Seine for a long while before speaking up, “Do you have to go back to China? Can’t you stay in Oceania?”
The smile on Madeleine’s face was unwavering, “I’ve already booked the flight. It leaves tomorrow.”
Andrew swirled his glass of alcohol and then asked, “Is there a reason you must return to China?”
Upon hearing these words, Madeleine silently tightened her grip on her glass, and the image of that man instantly flooded her mind…
PS: Because I hadn’t planned the spin-off for Madeleine and Howard in advance, the storyline is a bit choppy. I need to smooth out the plot~~~ I will resume updating around ten o’clock tomorrow morning. If possible, I will update with 15 chapters to make up for today’s shortage, and if I can’t finish 15 chapters by tomorrow, there will be at least 12 chapters~ 11 more chapters the day after tomorrow~ Finally, anyone looking forward to the spin-off for Madeleine and Howard, show yourselves~ It would give me some motivation~
