Chapter 615
Christopher knew that Erine didn't like to talk about the Harrison family. Now that the people from the Laneigh family were here, he couldn't just sit back and watch.
"Mr. Laneigh, maybe you don't know it since you're not based here, but Erine is my girlfriend, so I hope you don't say it again." Christopher stood in front of her with a cold expression on his face. It seemed that if Maverick said one more word, Christopher would not be nice to him.
Upon hearing his words, Maverick's eyebrows rose even higher. Erine actually had a boyfriend? No wonder she refused the marriage.
Otherwise, why would anyone dislike him? Maverick was not ugly, but a handsome guy with a good temperament.
"If that's the case, then I'm really out of touch. However, Miss Harrison, do your parents know that you have a boyfriend?" Maverick asked indifferently.
Hearing his words, Ysabelle was a little dissatisfied with his attitude. Erine was now a part of the Meyer family. How could she be taken away just like that?
"Mr. Laneigh, her parents already know about us and we have met each other too, so there's no need for you to worry about this."
Maverick looked at Ysabelle's cold expression and chuckled. "Miss Meyer, you don't have to be so nervous. I'm just saying that I won't agree to the marriage between the Harrison family and Laneigh family. After all, an arranged marriage will never happen to me."
Christopher was still on alert and he felt that Maverick's words were not credible. When Erine saw his behavior, her heart raced for some reason, making her feel a little uncomfortable.
Maverick looked at Erine's expression as he sat on the chair. He picked up the cup of coffee and sipped it slowly.
"Mr. Laneigh, if you're free, it's on me," Ysabelle said suddenly.
"Sure." He didn't refuse.
She turned to look at Christopher and Erine. A faint smile appeared across her face. "You two go and have a good time together. I'll take care of the rest."
Christopher knew what she was talking about.
Only at this moment did he know that it was great to have a sister.
Ysabelle and Maverick went to the restaurant. In fact, he was very clear why she wanted to see him. Wasn't she just trying to explain the matter of the Harrison family to him?
Christopher and Erine went back to the hospital after having their meal. Everleigh felt strange seeing the both of them. "Why are you back so soon?"
"I'll go back to my department first," Erine said weakly.
Everleigh was puzzled. "What's wrong? You provoked her, didn't you?"
Christopher glanced at Erine and looked back at Everleigh coldly. "We met Erine's supposed fiance at the restaurant." This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Everleigh's eyes widened instantly. "Then? Did you have a conflict?"
"No, the guy from the Laneigh family said that he won't marry Erine. Her sister is the one who is going to get married. Erine is just a tool to ease the relationship between the two families,"
Christopher sighed helplessly. Once again, he found that the relationship ahead between him and Erine would be difficult.
Everleigh nodded. She understood this matter very well. After all, family affection was insignificant in front of familial interest.
"Aren't you staying by Erine's side? I believe she will be with you." She was very confident. Erine lacked family affection while the Meyer family was a happy family. Everleigh believed that it was the best choice for them to be together.
He raised his eyebrows. These words were very pleasant to listen to. It could be said that Everleigh wanted to cheer him up.
A day passed quickly. When they got off work, Theodore came to pick up Everleigh. She got in the car and told him about Christopher and Erine.
He looked at her with a caring look. Seeing her indignant expression, the smile on his lips widened.
"What are you smiling at? I'm talking to you about something serious."
"This is Christopher's affairs. Why did you get so emotional as a bystander?"
"I'm angry, okay? If the Laneigh family didn't have this plan, why would they want to talk to Erine about this matter?"
When he heard her words, he knew what Maverick had said. "Maverick likes to joke around, but he's not a scheming person."
"What?" She couldn't help but ask. How did he know what kind of person he was?
He looked at the red traffic light in front and stopped immediately. He turned around and said,
"I know Maverick. He's a very exuberant person and likes to joke around. He doesn't have any ill intentions. He's just teasing Erine."
She looked at him with a puzzled look. At this moment, she remembered that she seemed to have heard the name Maverick somewhere, but she couldn't remember exactly where.
"Don't worry. The marriage between the Harrison family and the Laneigh family won't happen. Not everyone can handle Maverick." He started the car again and drove back to his house.
She nodded. If it was true, it would be great. Christopher was her good friend. There's no doubt that she hoped that his wish would come true and that his whole family would be in harmony.
Theodore brought Everleigh back to his residence.
A few days later, Wilson's company was ready. In truth, he didn't sell some of the shares of Godfrey Group.
In recent days, he could only concentrate on dealing with his own company, otherwise, he would not be able to challenge Xavier.
Xavier knew that Wilson had started a new company. He couldn't help but sneer. "Of course he's looking for a business partner for his new company. Keep an eye on his business partners. Anyone who is going to cooperate with him will be my enemy." He looked out of the window with a gloomy expression. He was officially starting a war with him.
Yantsey nodded and went out to make some arrangements.
Only the two of them knew about this matter; not even Theodore was kept in the loop. However, he didn't want to know about it either. He had already paved the way for his brother. As for how to do it, it would be Xavier's business.
Wilson visited Godfrey Group every few days, mainly because he wanted to find out if Xavier had noticed anything.
However, Xavier pretended not to know anything.
Wilson glanced at him during the meeting, but he looked normal as usual.
"Mr. Godfrey, do you have anything to comment about this project?" Xavier suddenly involved Wilson in the topic.
Wilson came to his senses. He was thinking about his own affairs and did not care about what Xavier was talking about just now.
Now that Xavier called him by his name, he felt a bit unaccustomed to it.
"You've made your own decision. What's the use of asking me about it?"
"Well, then let's do it. Start working on the water amusement park in the suburbs."
When Wilson heard about the water park project in the suburbs, his mind went blank suddenly, and he couldn't snap his mind out of it.
"A suburban project?"
There was a look of contempt in Xavier's eyes. "What's wrong? Didn't you hear what I said clearly?"
Wilson got up angrily and pointed at him with trembling fingers. "This project was all done by the Harvey family, but you rejected it."
