Chapter 367 Zoe''s Lofty Aspirations


    "Deep down, Calvin was surprisingly delighted. She didn''t say anything, which was much better than


    before. Those days, whenever he mentioned about going home, she would cry her eyes out, looking


    very aggrieved. However, at the moment, even though she didn''t say yes, she didn''t object either. Did


    that silence mean that she had agreed to it?"


    It boosted Calvin''s confidence and strengthened his resolve. He felt that happiness was within his


    grasp.


    "Belle,e home, and we''ll get married. I''ll give you the most luxurious wedding in the world. Believe


    me. Even if you don''t think about yourself, you have to think about Jerry. If he goes wandering around


    with you like this, his education and the living environment will be affected. You also have to think about


    me. I''m Jerry''s father. I should fulfil my duty. Calvin held her in his arms and continued."


    "Belle''s heart was in a mess. She gently touched his back with her fingers, almost agreeing with him."


    "However, Kate''s words still kept her impulses in check."


    "She got up, got dressed, and left in a hurry."


    "As soon as she stood up, she felt very sore, as if her whole body had fallen apart, but she couldn''t


    care less. She rushed to the door."


    "Once she got to the door, she met Aron. "


    "Aron had juste back from the outdoors. It seemed like he had gone for a morning run, as he


    looked very refreshed."


    "Upon seeing him, an awkward expression appeared on Belle''s face. Walking out of Calvin''s room so


    Tristany in the morning was self-evident of what had transpired."


    She was so embarrassed. Just when she was thinking whether to greet him or not...


    "Hello, Young Madam, Aron greeted her first. He looked calm and greeted her warmly, without making


    a fuss. In fact, as soon as he entered the door and saw her, he understood everything."


    "Belle''s embarrassment eased a little and said, ""Morning."" Then, she scurried away.  "


    "After opening the room door, she saw Kate and Bailey still deep in sleep, as they had been up until


    veryte the night before. "


    "It was a good thing. Otherwise, Kate would find out she hadn''t been home for a whole night and


    would nag her non-stop again."


    She let out a sigh of relief and walked into Jerry''s room. Jerry was still sleeping soundly. A faint smile


    appeared on his face from time to time. It was as if he was having a sweet dream. Chloe was also


    asleep on the small bed beside his.


    "Belle went into the bathroom and took a shower. When she went back to the bedroom, fatigue kicked


    in. She was tired and sleepy. She crashed as soon as shey down."


    "Later on, she was awakened by Jerry''s sobs. Jerry wanted to drink some milk, so Belle picked him up


    and ced him under the nket next to her. While feeding him, she nodded off again. "


    "After Jerry finished drinking his milk, Chloe carried him out of the room."


    "Jerry,e, let Dad carry you. Chloe carried Jerry into Calvin''s house straightaway. Of course, that


    was Calvin''s orders. "


    "Jerry had already grown very close to Calvin. As soon as he saw Calvin, he would rush to him with a


    smile. The father and son duo had already developed a very good rtionship during the time of the


    illness."


    "Calvin held Jerry in his arms and walked to a small room. He had specially prepared a nursery for


    Jerry, filled with all sorts of children''s toys and food. Every time Jerry entered the room, he would not


    think of leaving. "


    "In those days, Chloe carried out Calvin''s orders everyday. She would take Jerry to his ce to y


    every morning and afternoon, whereas Calvin would drop everything to y with him to their hearts''


    content whenever he came over. He had never felt sofortable before."


    "In A City''s Sky Sword za, the Miss Universe''s preliminarypetition was taking ce like a


    raging fire."


    "Hordes of editorial models and all kinds of promising, beautiful women came to participate. The media


    also came to cover the events of thepetition. "


    "It was still just the first round of the preliminarypetition. It was personally judged by famous


    television hosts and masters of the literary and artistic circle, in order to demonstrate fairness and to


    grab people''s attraction better. NTristany the whole process was being monitored by the


    media, recorded, and live broadcasted by the TV station, showing the audience every segment. "


    "As they went on to theter rounds, thepetition would get more heated up. The guests who were


    invited would also be more and more distinguished."


    "Once a group of promising, beautiful women was selected, they would participate in the preliminary


    preliminarypetition. The whole process took up a lot of time and cost a lot of money. This would


    also increase the impact. All the selected youngdies for sure would be famous overnight. "


    "Therefore, all the beauties arrived at Sky Sword za. They went out of their ways to participate in


    the show, hoping they could get through the first round of the preliminarypetition and take part in


    theter rounds of thepetition."


    "Starting from the recruitment period, such a buzzing spectacle had alreadysted for more than 20


    days."


    "In the Sky Sword Group offices, Zoe was wearing a bright orange zer and tight-fitting turquoise


    pants, making her slender legs look long and beautiful. Her stylish, wavy hair hung loose. She looked


    elegant, empowered, and beautiful."


    "Miss Yates, the stock index futures have been greatly damaged. The overall environment of the


    financial investment project is not too optimistic now. The financial crisis has already affected the whole


    market. The financial model of gaining without any investment is wreaking havoc, Octavia, the


    assistant, came in and reported the financial crisis in a swift manner."


    "Just within a few minutes, the stock index futures plummeted rapidly, causing the biggest decline in


    thest two years. The market was in a state of panic."


    "Zoe''s eyebrows were delicate, her eyes striking. Her small mouth was pressed tightly together. "


    "As the eldest daughter of Sky Sword Group, she did things at the drop of a hat in a clean and honest


    way. She was not inferior to a man. "


    "Twenty years ago, Yates Group and Harvey Group had had a hugepetition with each other in the


    business market. In the span of one night, Yates Group had been defeated and vanquished from the


    business world. Her father had been so consumed with anger that he became bedridden."


    "Calvin of the Harvey family had won over the market vigorously and effectively, and was gradually


    winning over the entire business world."


    The Xanthe family had also lost at the same time.


    "However, the Xanthe family''s foundation was not in business. Hence, they turned to the political elite


    and obtained unprecedented sess, but the Yates Group waspletely ruined. "


    "Her father had been so anxious and frustrated that he had experienced shortness of breath, resulting


    in his death. "


    "Since then, she had vowed to revitalize the Yates family fortune and avenge her father''s death. "


    "In the past few years, she had been keeping an eye on Harvey Group, always paying attention to the


    movements of Calvin, the president of the Harvey Group. When she thought that the opportunity had


    arrived, she returned to A City."


    "In those years, in order to revitalize Yates Group, she had gone abroad for her studies and had gained


    business experience for several years. Finally, she had founded Sky Sword Group. However, such a


    shadow of the Harvey Group. Whether it was strength or distance, they were iparable. "


    "Being single-handed was difficult to survive in such a fierce environment, let alone to stand out.


    Therefore, she had taken the initiative to take action and promised to be engaged to Oscar, the eldest


    son of Jones Group''s chairman, Matteo Jones. With that, she had earned Matteo''s trust. "


    "Naturally, Sky Sword Group and Jones Group had merged. Jones Group was a famouspany in B


    City. Although it was not as solid as Harvey Group, it did innovate continuously for the past two years,


    and made a name for itself on the global wealth list. Although it ranked ninth, far behind Harvey Group,


    its power could not be underestimated."


    "Based on the power of the two families, and her lofty aspirations, it was that possible they could


    "Of course, she was not in a hurry. After all, revenge was a dish best served cold. "


    "The Miss Universepetition happening at the moment was organized by her. In fact, it was also the


    first serious coboration after Sky Sword Group and Jones Group had incorporated. Rather than


    saying that it was their first coboration, it was better to say that it was a deration to all the people


    about the twopanies'' glorious cooperative rtionship. At the same time, it was also a nned


    public rtions opportunity."

    "Zoe had many projects that needed to be pushed forward, and she could take advantage of the


    Miss Universepetition. For Yates Group, it was an absolutely rare opportunity."


    "Zoe''s baster fingers lifted the cup from the table. Her red lips drew near and blew over the hot


    drink. She slowly took a small sip. With the cup in her hand, she took a seat on her authentic leather


    chair. Her snow white porcin cup and her painted nailsplemented each other. It was very


    beautiful to look at."


    "She was graceful, capable, calm, and confident, but also elegant and quiet. Her delicate body gave


    people a feeling of sassiness, chess, and straightforwardness. However, her behavior was


    essentially the definition of a strong independent woman. "


    "Miss Yates, the real economy is now under Calvin''s control. We have no foothold at all. Octavia knew


    Zoe''s abilities very well, but the market conditions at the moment did not bode well. The Harvey


    Group''s foundation was too deep, upying all the industries in the market. Even if they had great


    abilities, it was difficult for them to stand out. Moreover, the difficulties they were facing were very


    arduous to ovee. "


    "Don''t worry. Let''s do our best in organizing the Miss Universepetition first, and widely advertise


    our official website through the news media."


    ......


    "It won''t be long before we see the benefits of this website, Zoe said with a confident smile."


    "Octavia nodded, but she still felt like something did not add up. She did not understand the purpose of


    Zoe doing that. The cost of the Miss Universepetition was very high, but she could not grasp the


    meaning behind it. "


    "Are you aware of the new business model development in the next few years? Online shopping and


    marketing will gradually rece the ground economy. This is the popr business model now. Online


    shopping has many advantages,pared with the ground economy. This is something that the


    market cannotpare with. This is the kind of money we should be earning. The Inte is my key


    path, which also needs to be developed vigorously, Zoe said in a calm tone. She looked rxed as


    well. When she mentioned the word ''Inte'', a charming smile was stered on her face. "


    "After listening, Octavia felt admiration for her, deep down inside. In the past few years, she had


    witnessed Zoe''s methods. She was not at all worried about her judgement."


    "Zoe''s eyes glittered with confidence. There was no denying that even after joining forces with the


    strong Jones Group, it was still impossible topete with Harvey Group based on their strength


    then."


    "However, she had confidence and perseverance. If she couldn''t make it in one year, then she would


    make it in two. If she couldn''t make it in two years, then she would make it in three. As long as she


    persisted, she would seed."


    "At the moment, she urately understood the market and had predicted the future business


    development, and the prospects of the Inte. She had always believed in herself. If it was something


    she was certain about, it would not go wrong. Harvey Group had a deep foundation, and they had the


    whole ground economy under control. It was unshakeable. Hence, she chose another way to surround


    the Harvey Group and slowly break down their ground economy."


    "The business model of the future was changing stealthily. Whoever could foresee the market, could


    seize upon the business opportunities and snatch the initiative."


    She was very confident about this. She also had a well thought out n.


    "The industry of the Harvey Group that worried Zoe the most was the car industry. Harvey Group''s


    car business had reached worldwide appeal, and the car market could not be solved with the online


    shopping model. Not when the key figure was Belle."


    That woman was wizard at car designing. Her vision could be seen all over the world. Her products


    could even take the global trends by storm. Her talent was not something that could be bought with


    money.


    "If she was invited back by Calvin and they remarried, in the future, if anything happened to Harvey


    Group, the car industry alone could support all the other industries of Harvey Group. It was not


    something Zoe would like to see. "
