Chapter 149

Zachary sounded earnest..

Howard looked surprised for a brief moment. He respected Zachary Zachary’s words surprised him a lot.

In such a dire situation, Zachary didn’t see him as a lifesaver. Instead, he told Howard everything. That was out of Howard’s expectation.

Howard gave a mild smile, his eyes sparkling with something mysterious.

He thought. The boss is never in need of money and good projects!

Howard lowered his voice. “Mr. Chambers, I’ve figured out that to save the Chambers Group, you’d need about 5 billion dollars.

It’s not a big number for me oney will be in your bank account by tomorrow. As for the promising projects that you mentioned, if you’re interest, incre’s a department in my company that focuses solely on developing games. We’re planning to collaborate with FastPulse Technologies in Mysonna. I can transfer the entire department to the Chambers Group.

They’ll be your team. With them, the Chambers Group can start all over again. If you want, everything will be ready by 8 PM tomorrow. What do you think about it?”

Zachary’s hand twitched and then his coffee cup slipped from his grasp, falling onto the expensive carpet. He looked bewildered.

Lucas thought, ‘Has this whole world gone mad?

Liam thought, “Yes, the world has already gone crazy Howard was expressionless. He didn’t care about the consequences of his words at all.

Zachary nervously said, “Mr. Yates, surely, you’re not joking, right?

Howard gave Zachary a mild smile. He sounded casual just now. It seemed like things like this were as casual as eating or drinking to him.

Zachary couldn’t keep calm anymore. He thought, ‘He decided to invest 5 billion dollars just like that? He decided to give me his core team just like that? Why is this once–in–a–lifetime kind of thing happening to me?

After calming himself down, Zachary thought about it for a moment and said, “Mr. Yates, are you planning to acquire the Chambers Group? If that’s your plan”

Why would I acquire your company? I am not like the Smith family or the Carter family. They’re crazy, Howard thought, interrupting Zachary Howard said, “Mr. Chambers, perhaps I didn’t it explain very clearly just now. I’m not interested in the Chambers Group and I don’t want to acquire it. The money is a no–interest loan for the sake of Ms. Chambers. It has no conditions attached and no deadline. The team and technology are free. You don’t need to feel pressured. Just agree with it and I’ll tell my team to start preparing everything immediately. It’s that simple. Don’t overthink.”

Zachary nodded stiffly. He was not a fool. If he refused this kind of gift from heaven, he would be an idiot Seeing that Zachary was nodding, Howard felt relieved.

He finally completed the task that his boss gave him.

If Zachary were as careless about money as his boss, he would have been very anxious.

In the next two hours, Howard and Zachary worked out the details of the collaboration. They would sign the contract tomorrow, resolving the Chambers Group’s crisis.

After their discussion, Zachary insisted on treating Howard to a meal, Uncharacteristically. Howard didn’t refuse him.

On the way to the restaurant, Zachary’s phone suddenly rang. Zachary answered it and heard a familiar voice.

Nellie angrily threatened Zachary not to leave her or she would destroy the Chambers family.

Hearing this. Zachary immediately hung up the phone.

Zachary thought. This crazy woman has been harassing me lately by calling through various numbers.

He felt like he was dealing with someone with schizophrenia. She was sometimes soft and sometimes irritable. She sometimes threatened him and sometimes cried her eyes out, begging him.

Zachary gave Howard an–apologetic smile.

Nellie’s voice was so loud. It was har Howard looked serious ilove it.

He guessed that the person who called Zachary just now was his audacious ex–wife.

If his boss hadn’t wanted to handle them herself, he would’ve punished those bad guys.

Howard asked, “Mr. Chambers, I wonder if Ms. Chambers is free to join us later.”

Zachary thought about it for a while..

He thought Howard’s request wasn’t unreasonable. After all, Howard had been a great help to his family and he did it for Yvette.

They were clearly on good terms. So, asking Yvette to eat with him was not too much.

Yvette was drying her hair when Zachary called her. Looking at his name on the screen, she paused for a moment and ther lowered her eyes.

Her collarbone was elegantly beautiful Half of her arm was revealed. Her skin was tender and glowing.

She tapped on her phone with her clean fingers, saying. “Hello” She sounded aloof and lazy, Zachary briefly explained that he was having a meal with Howard and then asked Yvette if she wanted to join them.

Yvette raised her eyebrow and narrowed her dark and glittering eyes slightly. She said, “Sure, send me the address,”

After she hung up the phone, she picked up a T–shirt hanging on the wall, found a pair of slacks, rolled up the hems of the slacks, and then put on the pair of white canvas shoes that she usually wore.

She picked up her phone and headed straight to the restaurant.

Jeremiah called Yvette and told her the address when she was halfway there.

Inside the restaurant, Howard had been extremely excited, ever since he learned that Yvette was coming here.

Not only Zachary but also Lucas and Liam sensed it the moment they sat down.

In the next twenty minutes, Howard glanced at the entrance more than ten times.

While ordering the food, Zachary politely asked Howard what he liked Howard said he didn’t care about it as long as the food was not very spicy and had no cilantro.

Zachary assumed that Howard just didn’t like spicy food and cilantro.

Whe all the dishes were served, Zachary thought that they could start to cat while waiting for Yvette. But Howard insisted that he should not touch his forks until she arrived.

Seeing that Howard was determined to wait for Yvette, Zachary didn’t try to convince him anymore.

The door was opened once again. This time, the person who walked in was the one Howard was eager to see.

As soon as Howard saw Yvette, his eyes lit up with joy and surprise. He immediately stood up and strode to her.

Yvette walked unhurriedly. She scanned the room and smiled gently. Her bright eyes were full of mischief.

Howard, brimming with excitement, walked to Yvette. “Yvette, long time no see.”

Yvette nodded. Her beautiful and is looked cold. She lazily said, “Five years.”

Howard nodded. “Yes, it’s been five years. So fast. I’m not young anymore.”

Yvette clanped her lips slightly. Her eyes were dark and bright Yvette said, “You are.”

The atmosphere between the two was exceptionally harmonious Zachary even felt a bit jealous.

Yvette had never treated him this way. He thought he was not a good father.

Yvente exchanged pleasantries with Howard. He wanted her to sit beside him but she refused him and sat next to Zachary She leaned back casually in the chair and then tilted her head to the side a little bit, asking. “You didn’t sleep well last night?”

Zachary was so surprised and touched that he didn’t know what to do. He replied, “I am fine. Don’t worry about me.

Yvette took out a vanilla toffee out of her pocket and put it in front of Zachary, She glanced at him and said nothing.
