She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 506: Losing Five Billion

In the VIP meeting room on the fourth floor, a stunning female employee in a black professional suit greeted Teagan with a smile, presenting tea to him.

Timidly, she stole glances at the handsome and charismatic man on the sofa, increasingly impressed by his temperament.

Teagan took a fleeting glance at the woman in front of him and suddenly remembered that she was the same foolish woman to whom he had handed his business card last time, and it was from her that he had acquired the intelligence.

Wanting to test whether he could still manipulate this woman, Teagan deliberately flashed her a smile.

It was a wicked yet gentle smile, nearly dazzling the woman's eyes.

He understood women so well; though this women wore conservative attire, she harbored the desire to latch onto a wealthy man.

When Teagan casually bent down to take the tea, he "accidentally" touched the woman's hand, causing her heart to flutter and her cheeks to blush.

"I rememberyou, you were the receptionist from last time, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Parry has a good memory. I've been transferred to the secretary's office and no longer work at the front desk."

Teagan nonchalantly stated, seductively gazing at her, "That's not bad as it allows you to better showcase your talents. By the way... I noticed everyone seemed quite busy when I walked in, is it always this way for you all?"

The woman, thrilled that the handsome CEO was willing to converse with her, eagerly responded without reservation:

"It's because Mr. Foley and Master Vincent have recently been at odds, seemingly in conflict over an island development project."

Seizing the opportunity to interject, Teagan inquired, "What island project?"

"It's..."

The woman was about to enthusiastically disclose the internal information she possessed to Teagan, but she suddenly glimpsed two figures outside the glass door heading in their direction. Her voice abruptly trailed off.

The female secretary paused just as the crucial details were to be revealed, leaving Teagan feeling unsatisfied.

In the next moment, a deep and firm voice resounded from outside the door, catching the two inside off guard.

"Perhaps, Mr. Parry, it would be better to ask me about this matter. I happen to know much more than she does."

Flustered, the woman stood up, nervously clasping her hands together and anxiously glanced at the cold Mr. Foley, who completely disregarded her as though she were invisible. Instead, Chris turned and, with genuine interest, took note of her name on her work badge.

"Alright, you're no longer needed here, you may leave."

"Yes."

From the moment this woman entered, Danielle had taken an instant disliking to her, unable to comprehend why her brother welcomed her!

Kelvin took a seat in front of the Parry siblings, sitting upright with elegance and an air of dominance.

His penetrating, icy gaze quickly scanned over the gifts on the table.

There were two bottles of authentic French Bordeaux wine, with just a glimpse, Kelvin could tell they held considerable value, likely in the five digits. However, as the wealthiest man in Akloit, he had encountered and had no interest in whatever luxury items Teagan brought.

"Mr. Parry, what brings you here? Is there something important you wish to discuss?"

Kelvin pretended not to know the reason, which annoyed Teagan. However, Teagan had no choice but to swallow his pride.

Trying to please Kelvin, he smiled and lifted the two expensive bottles of wine from the table, nudging them towards Kelvin.

"I've heard that Mr. Foley enjoys wine, so I asked a friend doing business in France to bring back two bottles. Mr. Foley, shall we chat over a glass?" Kelvin raised his chin, coldly declining the offer.

"No, it's working hours and Mr. Parry, you might not be aware, but I have a serious stomach condition, so I rarely drink now."

Standing beside him, Chris chimed in, "Indeed, Mr. Parry, this is stated in Mr. Foley's profile and you can google it. You should have checked it before visiting." Chris was implying that Teagan didn't even bother to conduct basic background check before coming and his visit was insincere.

The Parry siblings felt deeply

embarrassed... Teagan had no

choice but to awkwardly apologize "I'm sorry, Mr. Foley, I was careless. I We won't have the wine, my purpose for being here today is simple-to express my apologies to Mr. Foley."

As he spoke, he nudged Danielle, sitting next to him, with his elbow.

From the moment Kelvin walked in until now, she had sat with her head bowed and had not uttered a word, a stark contrast to her usual arrogant and domineering self.

Suddenly, Kelyin adjusted his sitting

complemented by handcrafteline

leather shoes, exuding refinement and luxury.

Lazily, he spoke, "Mr. Parry, you're getting too serious over just two bottles of wine; there's no need for you to stand up and bow for an apology."

The Parry siblings exchanged bewildered glances, Teagan managed a stiff smile, at most.

However, Danielle found it hard to endure. She was, after all, a young lady, and Kelvin shamelessly required her to apologize with a bow, which was truly outrageous! Unable to hold back, Chris interjected, "Mr. Foley, you've misunderstood. Mr. Parry apologized not because of the wine."

"Oh? Not the wine? Then what?"

Kelvin played confused, leaving Teagan seething but helpless.

Teagan forced a chuckle, trying to suppress the boiling rage within, "That's right, not the wine. A month ago, my foolish younger sister inadvertently offended Mr. Foley. I hope you can overlook her mistake."

"Is that so? It's slipping my mind. So, what have your sister done to offend me?"

Frowning, Danielle, who had been sitting with a sulky expression, finally stood up and bowed ninety degrees in front of Kelvin.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Foley. Last time at the entrance of the restaurant, I failed to judge the situation and offended you and Miss Lawrence. Please forgive me."

She had apologized so sincerely, so she believed Kelvin would forgive her.

But as she straightened a bit, a chilling voice sounded from above. "Oh, I remember now. It happened before I casually bought a large amount of Parry Group stocks." Teagan's throat tightened at his words. He thought, 'Just because of your casual behavior, the Parry Group suffered a loss of whopping five billion!'
