Limited Time Marriage: Nice to Meet You Mr. Foster
Chapter 141 - 140: Utter Disdain
South Grant was taken aback, thinking, isn’t Nathan Foster asking a stupid question?
Since the afternoon, she had been trying to subtly inquire about the dirt on Henry Grant, but Nathan Foster stubbornly refused to reveal anything.
At this moment, Nathan Foster was leaning on his right arm, resting his head, and watching South Grant. Meanwhile, South was trying to figure out what was going on in Nathan’s mind.
Could it be that he wanted her to offer him some benefits again?
South thought about it and felt that aside from such demands, what else could Nathan want?
So, at this moment, South climbed up from the bed and moved closer to Nathan.
With eyes closed, just as she was about to kiss him, Nathan blocked her mouth with his hand in disdain and slowly pushed her away.
"You don’t want the favor?"
South was a little confused about Nathan. He spoke halfway and kept her hanging. Wasn’t it for this reason?
Nathan looked at South with a face full of disdain.
"Keep it for yourself."
South was stunned. What did Nathan mean by this? Was he rejecting her?
"Then what exactly do you want to do?"
"Can you explain ’two arms, three legs, good work keeps the guest, all depends on the mouth’? What does the good work and the mouth mean here?" Nathan looked at her sideways.
"... Are you serious?"
In the afternoon, to extricate herself, she intentionally grossed out Nathan. But now as Nathan brought it up, South braced herself and said.
"Well, it’s something that can be grasped but not put into words."
Just as South finished speaking, she saw Nathan raising his eyebrow, and at that moment, her phone rang.
The phone ringing at this moment was simply a lifeline.
South looked at the caller ID as it appeared on her phone and was startled.
Shawn Grant.
Why would Shawn Grant call her at this time? 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
South answered with some confusion, then heard Shawn on the other end of the line urgently saying.
"South, something’s happened!"
Shawn Grant’s voice was very anxious; it was obvious something had occurred.
"What happened?"
"Miles Grant somehow persuaded the company shareholders to defect and support him. Now, Miles Grant’s shares add up to more than mine. At tomorrow morning’s shareholders’ meeting, they’re going to propose for Miles to take over the company again."
South thought something serious had happened, but it turned out Shawn couldn’t stand up to Miles Grant, who had pushed him out in secret.
"Who are the people supporting him?"
"Quincy Irving and a few old shareholders, they’re all standing on Miles Grant’s side now."
Hearing this, South immediately knew that Miles must have reached some agreement with these shareholders.
She had long known Shawn wasn’t a match for Miles, but she didn’t expect Shawn to be so vulnerable, letting Miles steal away the shareholders right under his nose so quickly.
"Uncle, there’s no need to panic. Even if you’re anxious enough to catch fire, those shareholders won’t support you."
When Shawn heard South’s nonchalant words, he was instantly furious, unleashing all the anger inside him.
"South, it was you who provoked me to go against Second Brother. Now, Second Brother has united the shareholders, trying to pull me down from the general manager’s position. We’ve already fallen out; if he gets the power, will there still be a place for me in the company?"
South despised this attitude of Shawn’s the most.
When everything is going well, you’re all smiles, but the moment something happens, you immediately turn your back on people.
"Uncle, what are you worried about? Second Brother only lifted a finger, and you acted as if facing a great enemy. Just because of this, you’ve already lost."
Although Shawn listened to South’s words, there was a sense of discontent in his heart.
"What can you do about it?"
ps: Now Egg is sitting on the train, the sound of woo woo woo in the ear, this scene, if not driving, how unworthy it would be for such a beautiful day and scenery~
Dirty fun skit:
Egg: Without Foster around, South still has the brains, surely there will be a way.
South: Hmph, are you complimenting or mocking me?
Foster: Complimenting you, no need to use your brain in front of me.
South: Then what should I use?
Foster: Just change the ’brain’ (nao) to ’milk’ (nai).
Egg: Brain, milk? Is my pinyin correct?
