Chapter 0032

At the Chesire Group’s office building entrance.

“I look forward to our smooth cooperation!”

Bruno and Patrick walked out of the main entrance, chatting and laughing with their arms linked. A crowd gathered around them,

congratulating the successful signing of the contract.

Susanne, on the other hand, smilingly walked with the two men.

Donovan and the other executives were forced to follow behind, wearing forced smiles. They watched Bruno and Patrick's backs,

angry yet frightened. Even though the contract had been signed and the massive 7.5 billion investment had been secured, the

profits Chesire Group would eventually gain depended entirely on the decisions of Patrick and Susanne!

“Just my luck...” Donovan sighed deeply, feeling a mix of joy and worry.

Just then, a piercing cry echoed from beneath the steps in front of the building.

“Grandpa!”

It was Zoe. Despite being stripped of the Chesire surname by Donovan and cast out of the family, she did not leave. Instead, she

wailed under the steps, her voice filled with misery.

“Grandpa, I know I was wrong. Please take back your decision! The contract has been signed, and I promise to turn over a new

leaf. Please give me another chance! I don’t want to be Zoe Frankell. I want to be Zoe Chesire! I've always been a Chesire...

Please, please...”

Donovan's expression darkened, and as he was about to speak...

Adistinct braking sound cut through the air.

A brand-new, bright red Porsche, without even the official license plates, came to a graceful stop in the small square in front of

the

building.

Alexander was the first to step out with Olivia in his arms. He beamed at Patrick and Susanne, asking, “Mom, Dad, is the

contract signed? Amber and I came to pick you up. Let's have dinner together.”

Dinner?

Patrick and Susanne exchanged glances, appearing less than pleased with their son-in-law. They had just concluded a contract

with

Bruno, and they should host a business dinner. However, Alexander did not even greet Bruno, acting like he thought himself

above

everyone.

Then again...

Patrick and Susanne thought Alexander probably did not even know that Bruno was the head of the Severn family, given his

identity.

Patrick and Susanne were not surprised by Alexander’s sudden appearance, but the same could not be said for Bruno. He

shivered slightly as he felt a chill run down his back.

It was him!

The man carrying the little girl was the legendary supreme being who stood shoulder to shoulder with the ruler of Wyverna, the

globally feared and respected Lord of War, Alexander Kane!

Amber also exited the car, approaching Alexander slowly and greeting her parents, “Hey, Mom, Dad.”

When she saw Bruno, she was taken aback and quickly bowed politely. “Nice to meet you, Sir Severn. I’m Amber, Patrick and

Susanne’s daughter.”

Bruno felt his scalp tingling and his heart racing.

He silently prayed, ‘By the gods, this has to be a dream! His Ladyship is actually bowing to me, showing me respect?! I’m old...

My heart can’t take this!

Patrick immediately beamed when he saw Amber, and he said to Bruno, “Sir Severn, my beloved Amber studied Economics and

Trade, and

Bruno had been in business for decades and instantly knew what Patrick meant. He swiftly said, “Of course! That’s absolutely no

problem!”

Then, he added, “Patrick, why are you being so formal with me? Our contract clearly states everything! You and Susanne will

have full authority over the project's funds and execution.”

Bruno called Patrick and Susanne by name, emphasizing their close bond. However, he was actually extremely anxious as he

did not mean to address Patrick as if they were equals in front of Alexander. Bruno would have gladly called Patrick ‘Uncle* or

‘Sir’, but he was much older than Patrick, and it would seem absurd.

“S—Sir Severn!” Patrick could not contain his delight, obviously excited. “Is that okay with you? Do you truly approve? I... I...

“Amber, thank Sir Severn quickly! You can return to Chesire Group for work now! You can be fully involved in this project!”

Amber trembled, and her eyes glistened as she was on the verge of tears.

She was simply overjoyed.

Her work abilities and dreams in this career crumbled when she was exiled from the Chesire family. At this moment, she could

finally pursue her ambitions again, strive for her goals, and do what she loved in a work she cherished!

Amber was overwhelmed with gratitude. From the bottom of her heart, she thanked Bruno again, bowing in his direction across

the long steps in front of Chesire Group.

“Thank you for propping me up, Patrick. I’m getting old, and I can’t walk down the steps properly.” Bruno held onto Patrick's arm

tightly, repeatedly expressing his gratitude, his legs feeling weak.

Inwardly, however, he prayed for Patrick to have mercy on him and stop letting Amber bow to him again. After all, Patrick might

not know about Alexander's identity, but Bruno did. Moreover, Amber had already bowed to him once before, and she was doing

it again...

This made Bruno extremely uneasy.

Unfortunately, the onlookers did not view the scene of a father arranging a job for his daughter as heartwarming.

Donovan stood behind Bruno and Patrick, gritting his teeth. His chest heaved violently, and the rage in his eyes was barely

suppressed.

What a good-for—nothing, unfilial son!

He expelled Patrick’s entire family and fired Amber from the company. Even though Zoe was the one who urged him, it was his

decision.
