A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Even after asking Darren for so much already, Mr. Wang didn't feel a single ounce of shame in his body. It seemed that being able to make the renowned KING Group submit to his wishes made him full of arrogance.

Meanwhile, Harlan was quite efficient with his duties. Within an hour, he managed to draft a new contract and bring it back to Mr. Wang's office.

Both secretaries stood as legal witnesses for the contract signing. Darren just wanted to be done with it, so he no longer hesitated and wrote his signature on the piece of paper.

There was a playful smile on Mr. Wang's face as he signed his name on the contract right after Darren. He then turned around to his secretary and specifically asked her to give Darren a box of some expensive tea he had brought back from Burma.

After receiving Mr. Wang's gift, Darren hastily stood up and left the factory with a blank expression on his face. He threw Harlan the box of tea and got into the car by himself. He sped off and headed to the KING Group's headquarters.

Harlan idly stood by the side of the road and watched as the car slowly disappeared from sight. He let out a long sigh and decided to take a taxi back.

It didn't take long for Darren to get back to the KING Group. He stomped his feet while he walked towards his office. As he was about to enter, his phone suddenly rang.

He thought that it could be Bonnie who was calling him. His tense expression relaxed a little bit at the thought of her sweet, delicate face. But when he looked at the number on the screen, his eyes widened in shock.

He prepared himself mentally and proceeded to press the answer button.

Needless to say, his mind was racing with possibilities of why this particular person dared to call him.

On the other end of the phone, Jacob's faint laughter could be heard. He even had a friendly tone when he casually greeted Darren. "Hi, Mr. Xu, it's me."

Darren tried his best to stay calm. He didn't want his rival, Jacob, to get the satisfaction from knowing that he was distressed. "What's the matter, Mr. Gu? It seems odd that you would give me a call out of the blue."

Jacob was amused and couldn't stop himself from chuckling while he replied, "Mr. Xu, we're about to be business partners soon. I called to simply wish you a fruitful partnership for the coming future."

'Partners?' Darren thought to himself while he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

An unimaginable thought popped into Darren's head. The troubled expression on his face grew and he couldn't resist asking, "What do you mean?"

Jacob was in a good mood and even kindly explained it to him. "The factory that you signed a contract with earlier is owned by the HT Group. Honestly, I didn't expect you to have such good taste for factories that you managed to find ours even though we tried our best to hide our association with them."
