Chapter 69
100 million!
Sabrina knew that Nova had no shame!
She felt that the Forbes Group's money would all be hers in the future. She absolutely cannot let this bitch take advantage of Alexander anymore.
Sabrina was so angry she ground her teeth, but she quickly came up with an idea. "Alexander, it's all my fault."
Alexander was stunned. "What's wrong?"
Sabrina twisted her fingers together, looking guilty as she said."It's all because I'm not experienced enough. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to be controlled by that Nova."
"After all, that 100 million is all your hard-earned money."
Hearing Sabrina thinking only of him, Alexander's eyes warmed. "Don't overthink it. Aren't you already helping me at the company?"
"And I have my reasons for promising Nova 100 million..."
"Recently, I heard that some overseas investors are setting up a new company in River City, and it seems to be targeting our Forbes Group. That's why I wanted to invite Nova to attend first, to use the opportunity to intimidate them and tell them not to get too bold."
"Second, you're already a group director at the Forbes Group. When the time comes, you'll be in charge of receiving Nova. If you can get some guidance from her, it will definitely be a huge help for your future development."
As soon as Alexander finished speaking, Sabrina was already moved to tears. She grabbed his hand. "Alexander, you're so good to me! But don't worry, I'll do everything I can to help you and won't let anyone bully you anymore."
"Oh, I've already signed up for the upcoming National Design Competition. I'll definitely place well and help you make the Forbes Group even bigger and stronger!"
Looking at Sabrina's eager eyes, Alexander couldn't help feeling touched. "Sabrina, you're still the best to me."
Sabrina smoothly opened her phone. "Alexander, look, this is the work I'm submitting for the competition. What do you think?"
Alexander didn't pay much attention at first.
Although Sabrina graduated from a prestigious overseas university, she had only graduated two years ago. No matter how talented she was, she couldn't compare to those design masters who had been in the industry for years. So for this competition, participating was good enough.
Thinking this, he casually glanced at the design on her phone.
Just one look, and he was immediately captivated.
"You really drew this design yourself?"
Seeing the delight in Alexander's eyes, Sabrina pretended to look a bit worried. "Yes, I drew this when I was bored at home a few days ago. How is it? Is it too terrible?"
Alexander looked amazed as his eyes roamed the design. "No, it's not terrible at all - it's excellent!"
Indeed, Sabrina's work completely exceeded Alexander's expectations.
The design was nearly perfect and extremely talented.
If shown to others, they would never believe it came from a young designer who had only graduated two years ago.
Alexander became more and more excited.
Over these seven years, the Forbes Group had developed quite well under his leadership, already becoming a top enterprise in River City, with everyone treating him respectfully.
The only thing that made him uncomfortable was Nova.
Although when he first took over the Forbes Group, she had signed an exclusive cooperation agreement with the Forbes Group out of consideration for Lynn, and had renewed it for seven consecutive years.
But he had also heard some gossip outside, saying that without Nova, the Forbes Group would have collapsed long ago.
But clearly, he was the one who deserved the most credit for the Forbes Group's current success!
Why should Nova get all the credit just for drawing a few designs?
He didn't accept it and absolutely disagreed.
So even without Sabrina saying anything, he had already secretly decided to find the right opportunity to completely eliminate Nova's influence on the Forbes Group.
Because the feeling of being controlled was just too uncomfortable.
So after Sabrina left, he immediately called his assistant and told him to hold a grand press conference before Sabrina's exhibition. He wanted to promote Sabrina and replace Nova.
A few minutes later, the large floor-to-ceiling window reflected Sabrina's almost twisted face.
From now on, Alexander's money could only belong to her alone!
100 million just given to Nova like that!
She wasn't willing to accept it, and she heard that Nova had originally signed with the Forbes Group through Charlotte's connection.
So without a doubt, Nova and Charlotte were in this together.
That bitch Charlotte!
Pretending to be noble on the surface, only asking for 100 million, but secretly using such dirty tricks to scam Alexander's money?
In that case, she shouldn't expect to have it easy!
The next moment, Sabrina immediately called Calvin.
After the call connected, Sabrina pretended to hesitate as she stated her purpose. "Calvin, you got the settlement letter, right? So shouldn't we delete the posts and let Charlotte go?"
Calvin's voice was full of disapproval. "Sabrina, you're too kind."
"Although Charlotte gave the settlement letter, she has no intention of letting the Wallace family go."
Sabrina pretended to be surprised. "How is that possible?"
Calvin snorted. "What's impossible about someone like her? Just yesterday, a company boss secretly told me that Charlotte was behind it all!"
"Anyway, between her and me, it's a fight to the death."
The smile on Sabrina's face was up to her eyes, but she kept trying to persuade him. "Calvin, please don't be impulsive."
"How about I go with you to talk to Charlotte?"
"I know she's currently living in an apartment the Talbot family left her. The address is..."
After hanging up, Sabrina immediately made another call.
"Mr. Evans? You did a great job with Calvin's matter. Just bring the contract directly to the Forbes Group next week."
Finally putting down her phone, Sabrina showed a meaningful smile.
Just as she expected, Calvin now hated Charlotte.
Just now she took the opportunity to tell Calvin Charlotte's current address. She believed that right now, he must be revealing the address to those so-called righteous netizens. When that time comes, Charlotte will really suffer.
She hadn't revealed the apartment address before because she was worried those people would be too extreme. If they hurt Charlotte, the divorce would be delayed again and again.
But now, there was no such concern.
Charlotte's comeuppance was coming.
In the evening, after Landon finished dinner and freshened up, he grabbed his coat and headed out.
Anthony chased after him. "Mr. Forbes, are you coming back tonight?"
Landon didn't look back. "No."
Anthony stopped, his face showing confusion...
These past few days, Landon had been going out late and returning early. Who knew what he was busy with?
Today when he came back, he was so happy he gave everyone bonuses. Anthony thought the matter was resolved and he wouldn't need to go out tonight, but he was still going out.
Could Landon really have encountered some big problem?
Half an hour later, the Landon that Anthony was thinking about had already appeared downstairs from Charlotte's building.
Soon, two bodyguard-like men emerged from the shadows and approached Landon's car, looking respectful. "Mr. Forbes."
Landon responded coolly. "Any situations today?"
One of the bodyguards quickly answered. "Mr. Forbes, we've been taking turns watching 24/7. So far, we haven't noticed anything unusual."
"Good, well done."
After dismissing the two bodyguards, Landon looked up at a certain light upstairs...
Under the orange lamplight, two figures were playing around, eating happily.
Seeming to hear Charlotte's laughter, the corners of Landon's lips curved into a faint smile. "Laugh all you want. I'm guarding downstairs for you. No one will disturb you."
Just then, someone suddenly knocked on the car door.
