Flash Marriage: My Penniless Billionaire Husband
Chapter 145: Chris, That Bastard Is Tangling With Your Wife
She frowned as she ate, as she never liked instant noodles.
Benjamin felt distressed as he was standing over there.
He raised his hand and wanted to push the door to walk in. However, when he thought of how strong her self-esteem had always been, he finally held back. He slowly put down his hand, then turned around and walked towards the door.
In the office, Janice ate a few mouthfuls of instant noodles. But, she then threw it aside as she really could not eat it anymore.
Just as she was about to get herself a glass of water, she picked up her phone when it rang.
"Janice, it’s me."
Benjamin’s voice came through the phone.
It had been a long time since Janice heard his voice. She paused for a moment and said, "It’s you. What’s the matter?"
Benjamin then paused and said, "I’m at somewhere around the TV station. Can we grab a meal together?"
Janice scratched her head awkwardly, "I’ve already eaten and I still have some work to do. Why don’t we eat next time?"
Benjamin, who was one step away from her, closed his eyes and said, "Janice, are we still friends?"
"Huh?" Janice pursed her lips, replied, "Yeah."
"Since we’re friends, it’s not too much for us to have a meal together, right?"
Janice did not know what more to say.
"It’s not just a meal. I need you to help me in something,"
Benjamin brought up this as an excuse helplessly.
Janice, however, hesitated for a moment then said, "Fine."
In the restaurant, Janice saw Benjamin sitting by the window as soon as she walked in.
"Long time no see."
She walked over and greeted him.
A distressed feeling flashed by in his eyes when Benjamin was staring at her skinny face.
"Have a seat."
After Janice sat down, she replied, "I don’t have much time, I still have work to do."
Benjamin nodded, "Understood."
He asked the waiter to come over and said, "You can serve the food now."
The waiter nodded, then turned to leave. He quickly brought out two simple Japanese dishes and placed them before the two of them.
"I had eaten," Janice was stunned.
Benjamin stared at her and curled his lips lightly, "Just have some."
Janice felt embarrassed since she already told that she had eaten, would she not be the one lying to his face?
But, she would be hungry if she did not eat it. After all, she just had two mouthfuls of instant noodles, then threw it away.
Benjamin was quiet, he pretended not to see the conflicted expression on her face when he glanced at her. He knew Janice well, she would never waste a food. As for this meal, it would end up as a trash if she did not eat it.
He knew that she would eat it.
Indeed, after Janice hesitated for a moment, she finally picked up the cutlery and started eating.
After all, it was shameless to waste food.
Seeing her pick up the cutlery, Benjamin was relieved.
"By the way, what did you call me for?"
Janice asked.
Benjamin knew she would ask, and said, "Eat first. I’ll tell you when you’re done."
Janice nodded when she heard this.
After she finished the food, Benjamin took out a card from his pocket and handed over to her, and said, "This is for you."
However, Janice stared at the meal card he handed over and asked in puzzlement, "What is this for?"
Benjamin said, "There is still some money in the card. As you know, I have already resigned and I won’t need it in the future."
"You can refund the card in the cafeteria. It’s very simple and it will be settled in a few minutes,"
said Janice.
...
Benjamin stared at her, then paused for a moment and said, "Janice, you know that I was kicked out from there as a loser. I... don’t want to step into that place again."
Hearing this, Janice was suddenly speechless.
She only found out about Benjamin’s elimination later. Moreover, Christopher was the one behind this.
And why did Christopher suddenly buy the TV station?
She knew that she might be the reason for it.
Speaking of which, she was also responsible for this.
Thought of this, she felt somewhat guilty.
"Then... why don’t I help you to get the refund?" she asked.
Benjamin shook his head, "Don’t bother, it’s just a small amount of money in it and it’s not that important. Just take it as doing me a favor and spend it."
"That won’t do..."
Just as Janice was about to reject, Benjamin interrupted, "That’s it. I still have something to do, I will go now."
As he spoke, he stood up, and he thought of something, said, "I’ve already paid the bill."
With that, he walked out of the door and left.
Janice froze for a moment and wanted to chase after him, but she suddenly thought of something.
She thought, she could transfer the money to him if there was no other way.
Having this thought, she kept the card, then got up and walked out of the restaurant.
Unexpectedly, this scene fell into the sight of James, who was in the corner.
He could not help but frown staring at these two people.
When he saw him leaving in a hurry from the exhibition center, he followed him out of curiosity.
Unexpectedly, he came to meet Janice at the TV station.
Ever since last time, he still felt guilty for revealing Christopher as a shareholder. He could make up for it now.
Thinking of this, James opened Line, then sent the photos that he had just taken with some texts attached.
James suddenly felt good after he sent the messages, he then got out from the restaurant.
In Techno Tower.
In the office, Christopher was doing his work and his phone suddenly rang.
He picked up and clicked on messages, there was more than ten photos that popped up from Line.
Christopher frowned, it seemed like James was really bored. Just as he was about to close, there was one message came in.
"Chris, that bastard is tangling with your wife."
Bastard?
Tangling?
At this point, he seemed to have thought of something and looked at the pictures immediately.
His eyes became cold when he saw the photo of Benjamin handing a card to Janice.
His gaze fell on the card, but he could not see what kind of card it was due to the angle taken.
However, he knew that it would be a bank card.
He turned off his phone coldly, then used another phone and dialed a number.
"Come in for a moment."
Soon, Rob knocked on the door and walked in, "Mr. Bateman."
Christopher was tapping his fingers on the table and asked.
"Where has Benjamin been recently?"
Rob paused for a moment and replied, "I heard that he inherited the shares of Mr. Taylor and joined the Taylor family’s company."
"Taylor’s Family?"
Christopher frowned.
Rob nodded and continued, "By the way, the grand commercial exhibition has been led by the Taylor’s Family, and Benjamin is the person in charge."
Hearing this, Christopher narrowed his eyes.
"Really?"
He narrowed his eyes and thought of something, "If I’m not mistaken, you gave me an invitation to the exhibition before."
...
Rob said, "Yes, but you said that you were not interested previously, so..." "I wasn’t interested before, but I am now," said Christopher. "What do you mean?"
Rob did not really understand.
Christopher narrowed his eyes slightly, "How long will the exhibition last?"
Rob said, "One week."
"I’ll join tomorrow."
"Yes."
Since he was so ignorant, don’t blame him for being impolite.
The next day, Christopher really showed up in the exhibition center. As soon as he appeared, he immediately became the center of attention.
"Hasn’t Mr. Bateman never participated in such events?"
"I don’t know either."
Amongst the crowd, James was shocked when he saw Christopher.
He had known Christopher for a long time, but he had never seen him attend such an occasion.
"By the way, haven’t you ever participated in such activities?"
James hurried to greet him.
Christopher frowned, "Who said that?"
He smiled gloomily and glanced through the hall as he saw Benjamin shuttling through the crowd.
At the same time that he saw Benjamin, Benjamin also saw him.
Their eyes stayed in contact with each other.
Benjamin was also a little surprised by Christopher’s arrival. Soon after, his face became calm again, then he informed the people around him and walked over.
When Christopher saw Benjamin walking over, he retracted his gaze in disdain.
James, who was standing next to him, saw all of this.
He thought to himself, "Did Chris come here because of the photos yesterday?" While James was still thinking, Benjamin had stood in front of them.
James had always disliked him. Moreover, he had stolen his original position in the
company this time. The combination of hatreds back then and now made him even more disgusted.
"I’ll go in first."
After informing Christopher, he walked away with a cold face.
On the contrary, Christopher did not intend to leave and he ignored him directly.
Benjamin did not care much about Christopher’s disregard. After all, he was the organizer representative, he would not make a scene at this time no matter how big the grudge was.
He reached out his hand with a smile on his face, "Welcome, Mr. Bateman."
Christopher glanced at his outstretched hand but did not intend to shake it. He snorted with disdain and said, "Don’t welcome me just yet."
As he spoke, he walked into the crowd without even looking at him.
Benjamin, however, withdrew his hand helplessly and stared at his figure as he walked into the crowd. He frowned and followed him.
A series of business alliance activities were held that day.
In the end, Christopher achieved a complete victory.
And most of those projects were robbed from Benjamin.
This made James very excited.
"You’re really something, Chris. I knew it. There are no projects that you can’t get."
Christopher glanced at him and said, "Don’t forget that you and him belong to the same company."
James snorted and said, "Who wants to share a company with him? It’s just an old company. I don’t even like it, I just don’t want to give it to him."
Christopher knew that.
After all, with James’ ability, he would not want this little family business.
"Hey, Chris, are you doing all this because of the photos I sent you yesterday?"
James asked curiously.
