Chapter 110
Honey, I Don't Dare Again (Amber and Jared) novel
Chapter 110 Put on A Show âArenât you going in?â Jared also realized that Amber was here for the meeting, although he didnât know how she had obtained the qualification.
Amber bit her bottom lip. âAfter you. I donât want to go inside with you.â
She could hear there were many attendees in the box.
If she entered with him together, others would make wild guesses again. Besides, they were in an awkward relationship.
Jared seemed to have understood something. He looked down and said, âThere are only three minutes ahead. Anyone late for the meeting would lose the qualification.â
As he spoke, he pushed the door and entered.
It seemed he was reminding her.
No matter what, Amber remembered it seriously. She gazed at her watch. After one minute, she took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and entered.â
Many attendees gaped at her.
âIs she Mr. Farrellâs exâwife?â
âSheâs also the vice president of Goldstone Co.â
âGoldstone Co.? Itâs going bankrupt. How did they get the qualification?â
They kept discussing in low voices except for Jared and Trenton.
Jared looked down a bit as if he was sorting out the documents in his hands. In fact, from the corner of his eyes, he was looking at Amber.
She didnât look timid or nervous when on such an occasion. He curled up his lips into a smile. A trace of admiration flashed through his eyes quickly.
However, Trenton squinted at Amber viciously, wishing to skin her alive.
Amber sensed his hostility. She didnât fear it. Instead, she smiled gracefully at him and said, âLong time no see, Mr. Gardner.â
Trenton suddenly gaped.
He saw his mother in her suddenly.
Especially her smile just now, looked so much like his motherâs provoking smile when she was young.
Amber didnât know why Trenton suddenly stared at her intently. She wasnât in the mood to figure it out, either. She withdrew her gaze and switched her attention to Jared.
Jared was sitting in the host chair in the meeting, so she could tell he was the sponsor of this cooperation project of the new energy.
For a moment, Amberâs heart sank.
She didnât have much confidence to make her company a partner because Goldstone Co. wasnât mighty without any advantages. However, she still had a ray of hope.
But now, the project sponsor was her exâhusband, who didnât love her and even disgusted her. He would definitely not cooperate with her. She wondered what to do.
Amber looked down, feeling rather flagging.
Seeing that, Jared frowned.
i 1 He wondered what had happened to her.
âMr. Farrell, itâs time to start the meeting,â Ben reminded him.
Jared withdrew his attention from Amber and put down the sorted documents. He glanced through all the attendees and said, âHave you all read through the proposal?â
âYes.â All nodded.
Jared added, âThe new energy technology is the latest result from the research department of my company. It could be used in different industries to highly increase efficiency. The most important is itâs environmentâfriendly.â
He paused a bit and continued, âCurrently, the government has known about the technology, and they donât allow the Farrell Group to monopolize.
Hence, I started a cooperation proposal and wanted to select five business partners in the cooperation.â
Amber understood and muttered, âNow I see.â
When she was reading the proposal, she was confused. The sponsor had such advanced technology, but why didnât he develop the project himself?
It turned out to avoid monopolization.
It made sense, though. If only one enterprise had such a technology, the economic balance would be broken, which the government wouldnât allow.
âMr. Farrell, we all understand what youâve said. But, I have a question.â Suddenly, Trenton raised his hand.
Jared looked at him, âYes?â
Trenton looked over at Amber.
Amber frowned, realizing that this man would give her a hard time again.
Sure enough, Trenton pointed at Amber. âWhen you invited us for this meeting, you said you would only invite the topâtwenty companies in Olkmore City ad select five most suitable companies from them. Mr. Farrell, why is the representative of Goldstone also here?â
Others looked at Amber with searching eyes.
Amber clenched her hands, her face sullen.
Only then did she know that Jared had only invited the top twenty companies. She wondered how Bernardo had managed to get the qualification.
Besides, he didnât tell her. He wanted her to be humiliated here.
Amber trembled in anger.
Seeing that, Jared felt sorry for her. However, he was still calm. âI asked Ben to offer some additional seats for the mediumâsized companies. They were selected by the draw lots.â
âI havenât heard about such things before? How did Goldstone win one of them coincidentally? Jared Farrell, did you give it to her on purpose?â Trenton looked at him doubtfully.
Jaredâs face darkened. âMr. Gardner, if you donât believe me, you can go ahead to look into the selection later. All right. Letâs go on.â
He looked pretty unhappy. Trenton snorted and quieted down.
Although he was Jaredâs future fatherâinâlaw, Jared hadnât married Makenna yet.
Hence, Trenton knew that he couldnât go too far.
âAs Mr. Gardner said earlier, Iâll choose the five most suitable companies to cooperate with. The judgment standard will be the cooperation plan.â
Jared glanced through them and looked at Amber. âEvery company shall give me a proposal. The content. includes the use, value, advantages, and disadvantages of using the new energy technology. Please send it to the Farrell Group by next Monday. Iâll make the final decision.â
âThat works.â All attendees nodded.
Trenton made trouble again. âMr. Farrell, you wonât help Ms. Reed because she is your exâwife, will you?â
Jaredâs face turned gloomy.
Before he spoke, Amber said with a smile, âExcuse me, Mr. Gardner. Mr. Farrell and I have no relations at all. How could he open a backdoor for me?
Even we used to be a couple, he wonât do it. Mr. Gardner, you are his future father- in-law. You are the one who could pull strings. Besides...â
Amber smiled faintly at the man in the host chair and continued, âYou are Mr. Farrellâs future fatherâinâlaw. As long as you request, Mr. Farrell will save a place for you. No matter how lousy your proposal will be, heâll marry your daughter in the future, wonât he?â
Upon hearing her words, others looked at Jared and Trenton weirdly.
Especially when they looked at Trenton, they looked hostile.
Honey, I Don't Dare Again (Amber and Jared) novel ï¤Chapter 109 Marry Ex's Uncle After Divorcement They agreed with Amber. Trenton was Jaredâs future fatherâinâlaw. Definitely, Jared would save him a place.
Although it made sense, they felt it was so unfair. They all came here for fair competition, but Trenton could win one place without working hard.
Feeling their hostilities, Trenton was so angry that his face was twisted.
He knew Amber had done it on purpose. She deliberately made others against him and left him no way out.
Trenton indeed planned to ask Jared to give him a place directly. However, other candidates had paid attention to him because of Amberâs reminder.
If he insisted Jared give him a place, he would become the enemy of dozens of companies.
Thinking of that, Trenton suppressed his anger and said with a wry smile, âPlease rest assured. I wonât do that.â
âMr. Gardener, you wouldnât do it, but it doesnât mean Ms. Gardner wouldnât do it either.â Amber didnât want to let go of him. Supporting her chin, she smiled and said, âAs long as Ms. Gardner talked to Mr. Farrell, Mr. Farrell will definitely agree.â
Jared clenched his fists and said in a cold tone, âAm I such a man blinded by love in your opinion?â
