Chapter 23: The Fish Has Taken the Bait

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Lawrence familys manor was still as lively as ever.

After the luncheon ended, most of the people stayed for entertainment.

The Lawrence Residence also had a large and luxurious entertainment venue. Monica liked to play mahjong. After lunch, she called Nox and Jeanne to play mahjong with her. Of course, she did not dare to invite Fourth Master Swan. It just so happened that she was short of one, and Eden suddenly volunteered to join them.

Monica thought about how she could not get revenge on Eden when he cheated on Jeanne previously. Today, she had to make that b*stard lose terribly.

Jeanne did not want to join in the fun, but she could not resist Monicas hospitality. She let George go back to his room and followed her to the mahjong room.

The Lawrence familys mahjong room was also a private room. When they walked in, the maid immediately went forward and asked respectfully, “What would you like to drink”

“Ill have black tea,” Monica said, “Jeannie likes lemon juice, right”

“Yes.” Jeanne nodded.

“Ill have coffee,” Nox said, “Coffee boosts my energy.”

“Given your mahjong skills, its useless even if you take stimulants.”

“Monica, do you have poison in your mouth” Nox was displeased. “I abandoned Fourth Master Swan to play mahjong with you, yet youre being ungrateful!”

“Youre more addicted to mahjong than I am. We met at the mahjong table back then. Dont give me that crap!” Monica did not appreciate his kindness at all. She looked very serious as she asked, “Tell me honestly, are you and Fourth Master Swan a couple”

Nox rolled his eyes.

Jeanne was also speechless.

The waiter asked at the right time, “What would you like to have, Eldest Young Master Swan and Second Young Lady”

“Milk,” Monica answered for them, “Since he likes a cow, of course, hell have milk..”

Nox could not help but laugh.

He was quick to realize what Monica was implying.

At that moment, Jasmines expression changed. In order to show her upbringing, she forcefully swallowed her anger.

Jeanne also could not stop laughing.

It was worth noting that Monica was truly astonishing sometimes!

Eden pretended not to hear it and said to the waiter, “Jasmine and I will have coffee. Shell have a cappuccino with more sugar, and Ill have a latte with less sugar.”

“Okay.” The waiter left respectfully.

Monica clicked her tongue. It was obvious that she was sneering at Edens deliberate thoughtfulness and gentleness.

Once they were done ordering their drinks, the game began.

Everyone became serious right away.

Jeanne had not played mahjong for a long time. Her skills were not good, to begin with, and her luck seemed to be very bad today.

She had two crucial tiles at the moment. Just as she was trying to figure out which tile to play, a phone suddenly rang.

Nox stopped her for a moment and picked it up. “Fourth Master Swan.”

“Where”

“Playing mahjong. Didnt I tell you just now Monica asked me to play mahjong with her.”

“I asked where.” The voice from the other end of the call seemed to have turned a little colder.

“You want to come” Nox raised his eyebrow.

“Yes.”

F*ck, since when was he interested in playing mahjong

“Where are you Ill go get you.”

“The main hall.”

“Okay.” Nox hung up the phone and said to the others, “Wait for me for a while. Fourth Master Swan is coming. Ill go get him.”

“Hurry up!” Monica urged.

Nox nodded and left quickly.

The other three people laid down their mahjong tiles. Jeanne said, “Im going to the washroom.”

“Go, go, go. Remember to wash your hands to get rid of bad luck. Your luck is too bad today,” Monica urged.

Jeanne also wanted to get rid of bad luck. She would be unhappy if she kept losing.

She got up and walked out of the mahjong room and into the public washroom outside.

As the washroom was shared, she heard two familiar voices from outside.

“Mom, its boring for me to watch you play mahjong here. I dont want to play mahjong either. Just let me leave. Ill be back before dinner!” It was Theduss voice.

“Brat, its Old Master Lawrences birthday banquet today. How can you leave If your dad finds out, hell beat you to death!” Octavia said fiercely.

“Isnt he discussing business financing with Uncle Lawrence Why would he care about me Just let me leave. Im so annoyed whenever I see that woman, Jeanne!”

“Im also annoyed whenever I see that woman.” Octavias face was unsightly. “Just thinking about how she embarrassed us in public today makes me want to strangle her to death!”

“Thats why I want to take revenge on her!” Thedus said in a softer voice. “Im going to go meet another woman...” Thedus responded.

“Are you crazy!” Octavia still had a sense of propriety. She knew she could not do anything out of the ordinary at this time.

“That woman doesnt know whats good for her. Dont worry, Mom. Ill be careful.”

Octavia still wanted to say something else.

Thedus said, “Dont tell me you really want your son to fall in love with that woman, Jeanne...”

“Alright, alright! Dont cause any trouble for me!”

“I know you treat me the best! Dont worry, once Jeanne marries me, Ill surely take it out on her for you!” Thedus said with a fawning look on his face.

Octavia grinned.

The two of them left.

Jeanne walked out of the bathroom emotionlessly. She took out her phone and typed a message: [Help me keep an eye on Thedus.]

[Got it.]

Jeanne put her phone into her pocket, washed her hands, and wiped them.

The moment she walked toward the private room, she suddenly stopped. She turned around and walked through a corridor into an elegant tea room at the innermost part of the room. She hid behind a pillar and heard the conversation inside, “Alex, I heard that Asias largest e-commerce company, MUK group, is preparing to enter Harkens market. Theyre currently looking for our local companies to finance an e-commerce project. Instead of us doing e-commerce ourselves, we might as well use this platform.”

“MUK Its naturally a good thing to be able to cooperate with them!” Alexander was a little excited. “That said, how can you guarantee that theyll choose us Once everyone knows theyre going to enter the market here, the local companies will rack their brains to compete with each other, right”

“Thats why we have to take advantage of the fact that the news has yet to be released. We have to be one step ahead of them. I have an old friend who has a good relationship with the person in charge of MUKs project. As long as their conditions are met, theyll consider cooperating with us! Dont worry, I have all those conditions. Once I meet them, Ill take the initiative to discuss the collaboration with them. By then, the other companies wont stand a chance! Its just that...”

“Whats the matter”

“Didnt we agree to give your family 300 million dollars to develop an e-commerce project Now, in order to meet MUKs conditions, I wont have enough funds, so the financing will be slightly delayed. Dont worry, as long as the collaboration with MUK is settled, itll be a piece of cake to get funding from the bank.”

Alexander thought for a moment and said, “Working with MUK is the priority, of course. In any case, its all for working on an e-commerce enterprise together. Isnt there a platform that suits our needs now! By then, well have both your collaboration with MUK and the Lawrence Enterprise.”

“Dont worry. As long as the collaboration is successful, Ill let you work on a 300 million dollar project for free.”

“Thatll be great!”

“Well be a family in the future... but your daughter, Jeanne, really needs to be taught a good lesson.”

“Its true that I didnt educate her enough. Dont worry. Before she gets married, Ill make her apologize to the Lockes properly...”

Jeanne turned around and left.

She did not want to waste any more time on unimportant matters.

The corner of her mouth suddenly curled into a sneer.

The fish had taken the bait. It was that simple!
