Chapter 613

“Aunt Merry is happy with me, and Carlisle has given me a lot of encouragement,” Vera said.

Everyone around her looked at her with envy.

They also wanted to get close to the direct descendants of the family, but those people were out-of-

reach. They realized that they had no chance, and only Vera could stand out with her extraordinary talent. The rest of them could simply forget about it. But they still loved to listen to Vera’s stories.

At this time, a brown-haired girl asked Vera cautiously, “Do you know what Nicole is doing? The chief agrees with everything she says, and the CEO of the JJ Johnston Group seems to treat her very nicely.

Who is she, really?”

Vera’s expression froze upon hearing Nicole’s name. She looked back at the girl. “What comes from selling one’s body won’t last long. What more can she do when she doesn’t even understand a thing about robots? Even if the chief and Carlisle liked her, she is nothing but just eye candy.”

There was a fleeting look of disdain on Vera’s face. Those girls around her felt that she had a point, and they all verbally attacked Nicole, thinking that Nicole had stolen Vera’s position and had even seduced Carlisle.

A look of disgust flashed on Vera’s face as she listened to those words of condemnation against Nicole.

She honestly thought she was the only one who deserved Carl, and she would come down on anyone who snatched Carl from her and stood in her way like a ton of bricks. Surrounded by the girls, Vera slowly returned to her room, where she started to re-study her own drawing creation.

Two days later, Elijah stood at the entrance of the manor, stunned to see the chromium raw material being continuously transported in, almost piled up into a hill. He looked at Jared with surprise, and then his expression turned solemn as he sincerely thanked Jared.

Faced with raw material shortages, Elijah had been refused help from the Intercontinental Party, who was unwilling to take out their inventory to help the family they were trying to suppress. But Jared did it without batting an eyelid.

Jared looked at the man with the gray sideburns and said nothing. Janus, who was beside Jared, looked at Elijah and took a gentle step forward. “You don’t need to thank us; we just did what we had to do. After all, this is also a deal between us. JJ Johnston Group delivered the goods a little slow because of the explosion earlier.” With that, he returned to stand silently behind Jared Jared smiled at Elijah, looked at his grateful look, and said languidly, “Is this enough?”

With such a large quantity of precious metal flowing into his manor, Elijah looked at Jared and nodded slowly. ‘It’s more than enough.’

He then called everyone out and let them choose the material themselves. With no interest in taking part, Jared turned to leave.

Suddenly, a woman called out from behind him. “Wait a second, Mr. Johnston.”

Jared did not look back upon hearing the voice. “May I help you?”

Merry saw Jared’s haughty attitude and was a little upset. But the pleasure of talking to men still got the better of her. She quickly walked over to Jared and looked greedily at his stunning face. “I will definitely meet your requirements and produce the best robots.”
