Guardian-In-Law

Chapter 1018 High-Sounding “Hello, Mr. Moor.” [ Even though Noah’s leer was repulsive, Winnie held it together and shook his hand.

Noah did not want to let go of Winnie's supple hand.

With Winnie being right up his alley, he wanted to tap that ass.

“I have heard good things about you, Ms. Souffle. I wasn’t expecting you to be so beautiful.

“You run a huge corporation too. You have the looks and the talent. Any man is lucky to have you,” Noah said.

He was determined to win Winnie over.

The survival of Shangrila Group’s pharmaceutical plant rested in his clutches. = Besides, Winnie was no faithful woman. Even though she was married, she disrespected Zenny by hooking up with other men.

Noah believed Winnie would succumb to him if he played it right.

“You flatter me, Mr. Moor.” Winnie smiled and turned to grab a box of tea from an employee.

“It’s hot out today. I appreciate you making the trip to the factory. I have some tea from friends that is perfect to beat the heat.

“I don’t drink tea, so I thought you might want to try it.”

Winnie handed the box of tea leaves to Noah.

She had been with James from the day he started the business and engaged with many people in the system.

Business always went hand-in-hand with bribes.

Winnie just wanted to get rid of Noah quickly. The factory would never operate again if Noah wanted to start up trouble.

She was ready to pay the price, and the gift was to test the waters.

However, Noah acted unexpectedly.

“What's the meaning of this, Ms.

Souffle?” Noah, who was smiling a minute ago,

grimaced.

He grabbed the box from Winnie's hand and smashed it to the ground.

“Wham!” The box turned over, and the tea leaves scattered everywhere.

“Ms. Souffle, is that how you think of me? I can’t believe you would try to pay me off.

“Did you think I would take your little gift and give you the green light for your production? I will never disregard the consumers’ safety and health.

“I’m ordering a shutdown on your operations until you make the necessary changes.

“I'will also make a formal note of your shameful behavior and hold you

accountable for it.

“A huge corporation like yours should know better than to try to pull a fast one like this. Where’s your sense of social responsibility? This is absolutely ridiculous!” Noah stormed off after making such a high-sounding claim.

Nevertheless, the sneer behind his eyes betrayed his inner thoughts.

Winnie was naive to think she could get a free pass with just a box of tea.

Noah had to put on a show to make things difficult for Winnie. This would give him leverage. As a veteran in the system, he knew the right moves to pull.

Winnie was surprised by Noah's

reaction.

Come to think of it, Winnie knew Noah wanted a lot more than she imagined.

Still, the ball was in his court.

Holding back the rage, Winnie caught up to Noah and said with an apologetic smile, “You got the wrong idea, Mr.

Moor. The box of tea wasn’t expensive.

I just wanted you to sample it.”Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
