Chapter 420


    Callum shook his handzily. “It seems that you don’t want to apologize anymore. My girlfriend had


    suffered, so as her boyfriend, I had to defend her. Otherwise, she’ll beughed at.”


    The many on the ground after being punched. The only sensation he felt was pain in the area


    where the punchnded. Of course, he could not talk back.


    Callum turned to Yvette again. “How about you, the second daughter of the Hamilton family? Will


    you apologize?”


    He seemed to ask politely, but his tone wasced with hostility. Yvette even felt like she would end


    up like the man on the ground if her answer were “No.”


    The man before her would not showpassion for women.


    At that moment, Yvette recognized the man in front of her. He was Callum, the newly appointed


    head of the White family.


    He managed to gain control over the White family as an illegitimate child. He was definitely a


    vicious man in terms of schemes.


    The White family was gaining momentum and actively establishing a market in Strico. On the


    contrary, the Hamilton family had not developed well in recent years, making losses in several major


    projects. Some time ago, Yvette’s father also mentioned cooperating with the White family on some


    projects.


    “I can’t believe Callum’s girlfriend is Rosalie’s friend!” Yvette thought.\\


    Yvette pursed her lips with a pale face, thinking the world was smaller than she had imagined.


    “Won’t you apologize?” Callum’s voice sounded again.


    Yvette almost forced the words out of her mouth as she said, “It was my fault just now. I hope that


    this…”


    “Quinn. My girlfriend is Ms. Quinn,” Callum informed.


    “I hope Ms. Quinn can forgive me.” After saying that, Yvette directly walked away in high heels


    without looking back.


    At this moment, Lillian still had yet to regain her senses. Everything happened too quickly from


    when Callum arrived until Yvette apologized and left.


    It was not until Callum led her into the auction site’s VIP room and gave her a ss of juice to calm


    down that Lillian finally snapped back to her senses.


    She blinked and drank her juice while examining the VIP room. This was the ce that not even the


    director and the others could get in.


    “Are you here for the auction too?” she asked.


    “Yes,” he replied. “The real estate industry is the most profitable now. For the White family to


    expand their market into Strico now, real estate is the safest choice for us.”


    Lillian remembered the White family indeed owned a real estatepany.


    “Why didn’t you call me when you got into trouble? Did you n to let those guys drag you out if I


    hadn’te by?” Callum questioned.


    Lillian’s breathing hitched, and she slowly said, “I forgot.”


    “Oh, you… Will you never take me seriously?” Callum said with some helplessness. It was not the


    first time he had told her to call him if she ever got into trouble.


    Yet, she never seemed to remember it.


    “That’s not it…” Lillian thought to herself, “When he said he wanted to be my de, I did take


    that into heart.”


    It was because she minded it too much that her mind was filled with those words.


    “By the way, which plot ofnd are you bidding on?” Lillian changed the subject and asked.


    “What about you? Which one do you think is good?” Callum answered with a question.


    Lillian immediately pointed at the most popr plot ofnd and said, “Of course, it’s that one. I think


    aplex will be built in the future, but I don’t know which design institute will undertake this


    project. Wow, just the thought of it makes my hands itch.”


    Callum nced at her meaningfully. “What? Do you want to design aplex?”


    “I’m just thinking about it.” She shrugged. “An architect should have some sort of dream.”


    “You’re right.” He smiled lightly.


    When the auction began, Callum directly participated in the auction of the hottest plot ofnd that


    Lillian mentioned.


    Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    “Mr. White,” the assistant at the side eximed.


    This plot ofnd was not included in the ones they were bidding for. Because it was too popr, the


    competition would be particrly fierce. The final bid price might not be that nice.)


    Even if they sessfully bid on thend, they would only receive some fame. In terms of profit, they


    would not make much


    money.


    However, Callum said, “Bid it. I’ll use thisnd to earn White Maple Group a reputation.”


    The assistant stopped talking, but could not help but look at the girl at the side, drinking juice while


    scrolling through her phone.


    ‘Did Mr. White decide to participate in the bid because of what she said?


    Is that possible? Tens of billions of dors just because of one sentence?


    This is insane no matter how I see it, the assistant thought.


    Inside a private room, Yvette watched the screen with numbers constantly changing. She pondered,


    “White Maple Group… They’re also bidding for that plot ofnd like me.”


    The information she learned told her that White Maple Group was not interested in this plot ofnd,


    and otherpanies could not afford to bid for it either. That was why she was confident.


    Yet, White Maple Group suddenly came out of nowhere.


    Yvette gritted her teeth as her beautiful face twisted.


    ‘Is it because of that woman called Ms. Quinn? Has Callum decided topete for thatnd with


    the Hamilton family, all to continue seeking revenge for that woman?


    It seems that not only Rosalie but even her friend, who was originally nothing but an insignificant


    ant, has now be my obstacle!


    Sooner orter, I’ll make them pay! I’ll make these people understand I’m not a pushover!’ Yvette


    thought.


    After the auction, Lillian felt refreshed..


    She burst intoughter, especially after seeing the Hamilton family lost the bid.


    When she was leaving, Lillian ran into Yvette, who was also about to go. Lillian did not hold back


    and showed Yvette an exaggerated, mocking look.


    The director and Lillian’s colleagues had left, but Lillian still received many messages from them.


    Everyone expressed they were so stunned by the sudden turn of events that they did not defend


    her and hoped she could forgive him.


    Reading those text messages, Lillian pouted and refused to reply to them.


    “If you feel ufortable staying in this design institute, just change to another ce,” Callum


    suddenly said.


    Lillian knew Callum had sensed her disgust toward the director and her colleagues’ choice of


    prudence to protect themselves.


    “It’s not that easy to find another job,” she said.


    “How difficult is it? Let me find one that suits you,” Callum suggested.


    Lillian was stunned and thought, “Right, I seem to have forgotten something. This is quite an easy


    matter for him.”
