âWhatâs going on here?â
âDid Jack Trent actually sign a contract with this b*tch, Lady Dorothy Assex? Why? How could this
happen?â
âWhat did Lady Dorothy do to Jack? Could she have slept with him last night?â
All these thoughts running through Anderson Assexâs mind made him feel as if he would soon have an
emotional breakdown. When he looked at Lady Dorothy Assex, his eyes were filled with hatred. He felt
that the only way Lady Dorothy could have convinced Jack to do what he did was because she slept
with him. Otherwise, how could she have accomplished that?
It couldnât be anything else apart from her good looks and her willingness to take off her clothes.
Madame Joanne and Lady Emma Assex both sensed something major was about to happen, and their
facial expressions changed drastically.
âMr. Trent, hereâs what happened. From what I know, Thousand Leaves only has one store in every
main region. Our Assex Construction is the only primary distributor in California. The rest of the
secondary distributors would need to go through us. But Lady Dorothyâs company didnât get our
approval. Thatâs why I thought she forged the permit and tore it apart.â
Anderson quickly smiled apologetically.
âI really had no idea that Mr. Trent signed the authorization letter for Lady Dorothy. Otherwise, I
wouldnât have dared to destroy it.â Anderson added.
At this point, Anderson was still very self-aware. He didnât start shouting right away.
If he did, he wouldâve made Jack Trent upset and Assex Constructionâs business would be affected.
âThatâs right, Mr. Trent. Thatâs exactly what we intended. We were trying to protect Thousand Leavesâ
reputation as the primary distributor in this region,â Madame Joanne quickly said.
âLady Dorothy Assex is my granddaughter. As her grandmother, Iâm very aware that she doesnât have
what it takes to run a business. She was selling Thousand Leavesâ products without our permission.
We were worried it might affect Thousand Leavesâ reputation. Thatâs why we rushed over here. It
turned out to be a misunderstanding,â she added.
When Alex Rockefeller saw how Madame Joanneâs tone changed to one of extreme politeness in front
of Jack, he found it ridiculously funny.
Since Madame Joanne said those things, Jack had no reason to be too mad. âSince itâs a
misunderstanding, letâs end it here! Coincidentally, Iâve signed a new permit for you, Ms. Assex. On top
of what the primary distributor is earning in the main region, Thousand Leaves is willing to offer your
company an extra 10% share of profits. In fact, this will be an international
permit, â Jack said.
âWhat?â Anderson exclaimed. He nearly tripped and fell.
Was Jack crazy?
A 10% profit share was a lot of money. With a snowball effect, it could amount to a sum they could only
dream of.
Madame Joanne began to panic. If Lady Dorothy received this permit , Assex Construction would
definitely be affected. What if Lady Dorothy received a better price and developed further as a lower-
level distributor? Would the Assex family be forced out of business?
Madame Joanne immediately spoke up. âMr. Trent, the City South Subsidiary is one of our branches. I
think you should transfer this permit to Assex Construction!â
âMadame Joanne, I donât know what you think of Ms. Assex, but I personally find her a very capable
person. To be honest, just based on sales, Thousand Leaves hasnât seen too much development from
Assex Construction. On the other hand, Ms. Assexâs company has been performing well. In the pas t
six months, 70% of your sales came from Ms. Assex,â Jack said.
âThatâs because we assigned Lady Dorothy this specific task previously,â Madame Joanne said.
âIâve already made up my mind. If you donât agree with my decision, I can withdraw the permit from
Assex Construction and issue all of it to Ms. Assex.â
âOn top of that, Ms. Assex, I suggest you change your companyâs name. âSubsidiary of Assex
Constructionâ is not suitable for a global distributor. People might misunderstand. If itâs hard to change
your companyâs name, you can start another one. Thousand Leaves is willing to sponsor you without
any cost. In fact, we are willing to lend you 100 million without interest if need be,â Jack said
generously.
When the members of the Assex family heard this, they were thoroughly dumbfounded.
What was Jackâs relationship with Lady Dorothy? Even if Lady Dorothy slept with Jack, there wasnât
any reason for him to help her this much, right?
The only reasonable explanation was that Jack fell in love with Lady Dorothy, and he wanted to marry
herâ¦
This would make more sense.
