Chapter 171


    The live stream was a huge sess!


    “The beauty device had an existing stock of a hundred and eighty thousand. Then, you got someone to


    acquire another one hundred thousand units at a low price. On top of that, you priced the couple’s gift


    set at two thousand each. You really do know how to make a profit, Angeline.”


    A man’s gentle voice sounded from somewhere. The next moment, Angeline saw Hanson walk in from


    the outside.


    Angeline’s expression turned icy when she saw the unwanted visitor. She asked coldly, “Why have you


    come?”


    Her frosty demeanor hurt Hanson. However, he simply tucked his hands in his pockets and maintained


    a politeposure.


    “Well, I’m one of Forrester Group’s shareholders. It’s perfectly reasonable for me toe and have a


    look, right?”


    Angeline gave a half-suppressed smile and countered mercilessly, “If you’re here as a shareholder, I


    have no objections. But please make it clear to your wife so that she won’te and trash my office


    again. I don’t think I can handle another round of her tantrum.”


    “Did Joselinee over?” Hanson frowned as he felt unhappy about what Joseline had done. This


    added to his guilt toward Angeline. “I’m sorry. Nobody told me about it.”


    “You don’t need to apologize. If shees looking for trouble again, I’ll take legal action against her.”


    Angeline maintained her frigid expression and did not cut Hanson any ck. “Before that happens, I


    think there’s no need for us to stay in contact anymore.”


    After she said that, she immediately sat down and put on a pair of headphones, continuing with her


    supervision of the live stream that was still ongoing.


    Having been rebuked and ignored, Hanson stood rooted to the spot with his fists clenched. His sses


    obscured the cold glint that appeared in his eyes.


    He had made time toe and see Angeline, yet she had given him the cold shoulder.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Hanson could not ept being ignored in such a way. Not only that, he could not wrap his head over


    the fact that Angeline belonged with someone else now and did not harbor any feelings for him at all!


    I must win her over and make her minepletely!


    “All right, everybody. You can start buying soon. The couple’s gift set has a very limited stock. There’s


    also a chance of getting Jacob’s autographed photos. Firste, first serve…”


    In no time, the live stream came to an end.


    Most of the beauty devices had already been sold off. There were only the couple’s gift sets left.


    Although various goodies were given out along with the product, its price was increased by a hundred


    percent.


    Angeline started to feel uneasy. She was worried that a blunder like thest time would happen again,


    so she went to the IT department to monitor them.


    The co-host announced, “Ready! One, two, three! It starts now!”


    All of the gift sets were sold off in an instant.


    Forrester Group had sessfully sold off a whole warehouse of beauty devices. Many fans who were


    not fast enoughmented their loss in the live stream chat channels.


    “Wow!”


    Everyone in Forrester Group cheered and congratted each other.


    The staff got up from their seats to high-five their colleagues.


    All of them had been working their guts out due to Angeline’s strict demands. They had been very


    tensed up and working overtime continuously for some time.


    At that moment, the ster sales results made them feel that all their efforts were worth it. The heavy


    boulder that had been crushing their hearts was thus lifted.


    Angeline stood at her spot as she took in the entire scene. A pleased smile crept onto her face.


    “Congrattions, everyone! We wouldn’t have achieved this without your efforts. I’ve asked my


    assistant to get us some food takeout. It’s on its way here now. We should celebrate!”


    Hanson walked in right then. He was gentlemanly as always. The way he spoke was pleasant and


    friendly.


    “Thank you, Mr. Yiurk!” The staff was excited to hear that food wasing their way.


    “You’re wee.”


    Among all the faces, only Angeline’s was cold and unimpressed. She looked at Hanson with a solemn


    expression.


    “I’ve achieved what I promised you. Now, what about your promise to me?”


    There was a hint of pain in Hanson’s smile.


    “Angeline, am I really that untrustworthy in your eyes?” he asked, keeping his voice low and gentle.


    “Don’t worry. Forrester Group is yours. I’ll make sure Joseline doesn’t disturb you ever again.”


    Angeline finally brightened up after she heard his affirmation. She felt relieved and no longer spoke to


    him in a hostile manner.


    “Thank you. I’ll manage thepany well.”


    She exchanged a few words with him courteously. Then she purposely kept a distance from him and


    went upstairs to check on Jacob and the others.


    The live stream had gone well. Everyone was now huddled together at a long table set up in the main


    hall. Various scrumptious food wasid on the table for everyone to feast on.


    Hanson had gone all out to treat everybody.


    Because of Jacob’s status as an A-list celebrity, he could not celebrate with the rest of them. Right after


    the live stream ended, his assistant came to escort him back.


    Angeline dined with everyone else. She was exhrated, but she took care to drink other beverages


    and not alcohol in consideration of her health.


    After the celebration, Angeline announced that everyone would be getting a day off.


    Soon, there was only the cleaning staff left. Looking around at the empty office, Angeline was


    ovee with emotions and felt a surge of bitterness in her heart.


    She walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window and stared at the street lights in front of herpany


    building. Some sunflowers were nted there. The moment she noticed they were starting to bloom,


    her eyes reddened.


    Sunflowers were her mother’s favorite nt.


    They symbolized positive growth and were unafraid of the cold.


    Angeline felt that she did not let her mother down. She had helped Forrester Group get on the right


    track and secured sufficient funds for thepany. Next, she would hire the best designer to make


    Forrester Group great.


    The only thing she could do to honor herte parents was to manage Forrester Group well. That was


    the only way she could make up for her inability to see them onest time before they passed on.


    After wrapping up the event at Forrester Group, Angeline devoted herself to her treatment. Roger


    initially came over once every week, but it then became a daily urrence.


    With the medicinal baths that she had been getting every day, Angeline’s allergy eased up. The red


    spots on her body diminished and were not so frightening to look at anymore.


    She did not have to conceal her face anymore.


    Francesca and Floretta could finallye back to the mansion. To celebrate the asion, Angeline


    cooked an array of dishes.


    Floretta seemed to have grown taller in the days that Angeline had not seen her. She came running


    over to Angeline with open arms in her favorite pink tutu skirt.


    “Angel, hug me!”


    Florettaughed, revealing her faint dimples. She looked super cute.


    Angeline enveloped the little one in her warm embrace, feeling all mushy inside.


    “I’ve missed you too, Floretta. I had some health issues…”


    “I know. Do you feel better now?” Floretta asked with utmost concern and not a hint of reproach.


    “Much better.”


    The little girl heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s great, then. You must get well soon so that you can attend


    the parent-teacher conference.”


    “Parent-teacher conference?” asked Angeline with a frown, notprehending what Floretta meant.


    “Yeah. My teacher said we will have a parents’ sports day next month, and all parents must participate.


    Don’t you want to be my mommy?”


    Tha liva straam was a huga sass!


    “Tha baauty davica had an axisting stock of a hundrad and aighty thousand. Than, you got somaona to


    acquira anothar ona hundrad thousand units at a low prica. On top of that, you pricad tha cou’s gift


    sat at two thousand aach. You raally do know how to maka a profit, Angalina.”


    A man’s gan voica soundad from somawhara. Tha naxt momant, Angalina saw Hanson walk in from


    tha outsida.


    Angalina’s axprassion turnad icy whan sha saw tha unwantad visitor. Sha askad coldly, “Why hava you


    coma?”


    Har frosty damaanor hurt Hanson. Howavar, ha simply tuckad his hands in his pockats and maintainad


    a politaposura.


    “Wall, I’m ona of Forrastar Group’s sharaholdars. It’s parfactly raasona for ma toa and hava a


    look, right?”


    Angalina gava a half-supprassad sm and countarad marcssly, “If you’ra hara as a sharaholdar, I


    hava no objactions. But asa maka it ar to your wifa so that sha won’ta and trash my offica


    again. I don’t think I can han anothar round of har tantrum.”


    “Did Josalinaa ovar?” Hanson frownad as ha falt unhappy about what Josalina had dona. This


    addad to his guilt toward Angalina. “I’m sorry. Nobody told ma about it.”


    “You don’t naad to apologiza. If shaas looking for trou again, I’ll takagal action against har.”


    Angalina maintainad har frigid axprassion and did not cut Hanson any ck. “Bafora that happans, I


    think thara’s no naad for us to stay in contact anymora.”


    Aftar sha said that, sha immadiataly sat down and put on a pair of haadphonas, continuing with har


    suparvision of tha liva straam that was still ongoing.


    Having baan rabukad and ignorad, Hanson stood rootad to tha spot with his fists nchad. His ssas


    obscurad tha cold glint that appaarad in his ayas.


    Ha had mada tima toa and saa Angalina, yat sha had givan him tha cold shouldar.


    Hanson could not apt baing ignorad in such a way. Not only that, ha could not wrap his haad ovar


    tha fact that Angalina balongad with somaona alsa now and did not harbor any faalings for him at all!


    I must win har ovar and maka har minataly!


    “All right, avarybody. You can start buying soon. Tha cou’s gift sat has a vary limitad stock. Thara’s


    also a chanca of gatting Jacob’s autographad photos. Firsta, first sarva…”

    so sha want to tha IT dapartmant to monitor tham.


    Tha co-host announcad, “Raady! Ona, two, thraa! It starts now!”


    All of tha gift sats wara sold off in an instant.


    Forrastar Group had sassfully sold off a wh warahousa of baauty davicas. Many fans who wara


    not fast anoughmantad thair loss in tha liva straam chat channals.


    “Wow!”


    Evaryona in Forrastar Group chaarad and congrattad aach othar.


    Tha staff got up from thair saats to high-fiva thair coaguas.

    tansad up and working ovartima continuously for soma tima.


    At that momant, tha star ss rasults mada tham faal that all thair afforts wara worth it. Tha haavy


    bouldar that had baan crushing thair haarts was thus liftad.


    Angalina stood at har spot as sha took in tha antira scana. A asad sm crapt onto har faca.


    “Congrattions, avaryona! Wa wouldn’t hava achiavad this without your afforts. I’va askad my


    assistant to gat us soma food takaout. It’s on its way hara now. Wa should cbrata!”


    Hanson walkad in right than. Ha was ganmanly as always. Tha way ha spoka was asant and


    friandly.


    “Thank you, Mr. Yiurk!” Tha staff was axcitad to haar that food wasing thair way.


    “You’ra waa.”


    Among all tha facas, only Angalina’s was cold and unimprassad. Sha lookad at Hanson with a smn


    axprassion.

    Thara was a hint of pain in Hanson’s sm.

    “Thank you. I’ll managa thapany wall.”


    Sha axchangad a faw words with him courtaously. Than sha purposaly kapt a distanca from him and

    Tha liva straam had gona wall. Evaryona was now hudd togathar at a long ta sat up in tha main


    hall. Various scrumptious food wasid on tha ta for avaryona to faast on.


    Hanson had gona all out to traat avarybody.


    Bacausa of Jacob’s status as an A-list cbrity, ha could not cbrata with tha rast of tham. Right aftar


    tha liva straam andad, his assistant cama to ascort him back.
