Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 212

Chapter 212

In my dad’s family, three generations have been government officials. They’ve always stuck to their guns, never abused their power.

My mom and I have always stood by my dad’s principles. We were really proud of him.

“Neil, I know you’ve got beef with my family. I get it, but can you separate personal feelings from business, okay?” I asked with sincerity.

Neil heaved a big sigh, “How can you expect a jerk to keep things professional?”

His gutsy confession of being a jerk left me at a loss for words.

Suddenly, Neil stood up and walked over to me. He bent down close to me, so close that I could see his eyelashes.

I held my breath, taken aback.

“I didnt target your family intentionally, but I could make SaintlyBio Corporation change their minds. You need my help?” he asked in a low voice.

“Yes. That’s exactly what I need.” I tried to keep it cool.

Neil grabbed my chin, forcing me to look at him. He winked, looking curious. “Your dad can’t interveng, but what about your mom’s family?”

I was caught off guard. My mom’s family had some complex connections and old scores to settle, so I didn’t want to go into it.

Unless it was a life-and-death situation, my mom wouldn’t ask her family for help.

“If you step in and tell SaintlyBio Corporation not to target my family, this problem should be a piece of cake.” I didn’t resist Neil’s grip.

“You really think highly of me, your ex-husband. That’s kind of flattering” Neil chuckled. His face softened, but I didn’t let my guard down.
