Chapter 78

Jeremy felt a bit frustrated. He knew that the reason his mother didn’t want him to come to Norxton was simply because of his face which resembled Neville. He pondered, ‘Once Neville sees my face, he will inevitably have a quarrel with Mommy. I don’t want to bring trouble to her.’ Thinking of this, Jeremy took out his phone and sent messages to Ross instantly, [Ross, help me. I’m trapped in the restroom by that b a s t a r d.]

Upon receiving the message, Ross realized the seriousness of the situation at once. He abandoned the documents in his hands, rushed to the restroom, and saw Neville kicking the restroom door angrily. “You brat, get out of there! Let’s settle the old score!”

Neville had always maintained a good image in front of the media. However, due to the mischief of a kid, he ended up trending and became the subject of ridicule by netizens for a while. He had spent millions to silence the rumors and make embarrassing photos disappear from the internet. Now, seeing this little rascal again, he felt indignant.

Ross, panting heavily, accompanied by a smile, said, “Mr. Preston, sorry about this. The kid doesn’t know any better. Please don’t argue with him.”.

Neville frowned. “Your boy?”

“Mr. Preston is really overestimating me. I’m not married yet, so of course, I don’t have a kid. But this boy considers me his godfather, which is almost like being a father. I have to take responsibility for him,” Ross explained.

Neville suddenly remembered that Jeremy used to call Ross Daddy and Madison Mommy, leading him to mistakenly believe that Madison was playing the role of a stepmother. As a result, he even humiliated her. It seems like a misunderstanding. But the misdeeds committed by this little brat are intolerable, thought Neville. Then, he coldly said. Those who commit crimes at a young age often lack proper education. If someone guides them appropriately at this time, it’s like giving them a helping hand.”

Jeremy, hiding in the restroom, felt a surge of frustration, bellowing inwardly, “Do I really need this b a s t a r d to teach me a lesson?’

Ross couldn’t help but curl his lips, inwardly mocking how Neville had dumped the troubles on his own son. “Mr. Preston, it’s not entirely my godson’s fault. Blame it on his heartless dad. The child has never seen his father since birth. His mom had to raise him alone, changing diapers and all sorts of annoying baby feeding kinds of stuff, and all.”

Learning that it was a single-parent household, Neville couldn’t help but show a hint of sympathy. However, he wasn’t about to have a feud with a little brat. “Since you’ve taken on the role of his godfat lucate him properly!”

Ross bowed with a smile, agreeing, “Certainly, certainly. Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Preston”

As Neville reached the door, he suddenly turned around and asked, “Have you ever tried to find the kid’s father?”

Ross was momentarily stunned, then replied, “We did try, but the guy has found someone new. Every day, he’s all lovey- dovey with the new flame, and who knows, they might even have a child together soon. Who needs this drag?”

Neville couldn’t help but scoff, “Such a s c u m!”

Ross suppressed a smile, joining in the criticism. “More than just s c u m. He’s the ki n g of s c u m!” Internally, he chuckled, relishing the fact that he openly insulted Neville for the first time, right in front of the man himself. It was quite a satisfying

moment.

After Neville left, Ross knocked on the door. “Kid, come out.”

Jeremy then opened the door, his eyes emitting a sinister light, a perfect copy of Neville. “Annoying baby feeding kinds of stufl? A drag?”

Ross awkwardly smiled. “Don’t pay too much attention to these details. I just invoked the Godfather card to make Neville go

easy on you.”

Jeremy, thinking about the incident where Ross trolled Neville, reluctantly let Ross off.

Ross wrapped his suit around Jeremy, suggesting. “Leave quietly from the back door later. Don’t let anyone see your face.

“Don’t worry, I know what to do. Jeremy left through the garage entrance. As he was leaving, he suddenly thought of something, turned back, took out a tool from his bag, and went back.

In the meeting room, Ryan didn’t see the familiar figure and said, “I am interested in Elianna Atkins’s style, so the negotiations must be conducted by her.”

Ross smiled awkwardly as he said, “Please wait a moment, Mr. Blanton and Mr. Preston. He then left the meeting room, intending to call Madison for her opinion.

Ryan turned to see Neville casually flipping through a magazine. He took the magazine away and spoke up. “Neville, is my approach to your liking.

Neville remained indifferent. “Fliwip is registered and operated under your name. I am just a joint shareholder. You can decide on these matters.”

“Oh, I thought you came here specifically to see your ex-wife, so I found an excuse to bring her over. It seems I was overthinking it.” Ryan teased.

Neville coldly said, “You know she is just my ex-wife. She is already a thing of the past. So, don’t mix personal feelings with business when negotiating.

Ryan just smiled and mocked internally, “Who was the one who dropped everything and rushed over upon hearing about my visit to Loveille’s headquarters?”

By now, Ross had called Madison, “Hey, the people from Fliwip have arrived, and they want to discuss collaboration.”

This news surprised Madison. She thought the collaboration with Fliwip was hopeless, considering that Neville was more inclined to support Alison rather than her. “Are you sure?”

“They are already at the headquarters. Do you want to come back?” Ross asked.

Madison looked at Ethan in front of her and whispered, “I’ll be back at the company shortly.” She thought to herself, “If multiple companies collaborate with Loveille, it will maximize our benefits. Despite my personal grievances with Neville, I can still work with him for the sake of mutual interests.”

Madison then pushed the contract in front of Ethan, saying, “I’m sorry, Mr. Collins, I came to Collins sincerely seeking cooperation. However, the conditions you proposed are too harsh, and I can’t accept them.”

With the news from Fliwip, Madison now had some confidence. Just now, she deliberately put the call on speakerphone so that Ethan could understand that Loveille was not a desperate entity. It had many options.

Ethan’s eyes

es brightened as he said, “I appreciate Miss Guzman’s personal talents and am willing to make concessions.”

Madison took out the prepared cooperation agreement, adding a clause at the end, that read, “The collaboration between Loveille and Collins is non-exclusive, and either party can terminate the collaboration if there are objections.”

Ethan glanced at it and smiled. “Miss Guzman, are you planning to cooperate with both Collins and Fliwip at the same time? Isn’t that a bit opportunistic?”

“Mr. Collins should be aware of Loveille’s shortcomings. These cannot be resolved in the short term. However, Collins and Fliwip are different. Both of your companies have strong capabilities and sufficient production capacity. Our collaboration is

mainly in creative design, and there is no conflict. I can guarantee that the design concepts I provide to both of you will be unique. If there are similarities, I am willing to take full responsibility.” Madison gave a logical statement.

Ethan considered for a moment and signed his name. “I admire Miss Guzman’s courage and am willing to give Loveille a chance.”

Madison breathed a sigh of relief. With the collaboration with Collins settled, she could use this as leverage to secure Fliwip. As she was about to take the agreement, Ethan suddenly grabbed the other end of the agreement. His charming blue eyes carried a touch of allure. “Can I date you?”
