Chapter 799 A Similar Woman
Winnie's heart grew cold. "Maybe Lawrence is right. Rock wants to slowly torture me. He hasn't revealed his true nature yet, probably because he hasn't won me over. I haven't fallen for him or submitted to him. If I were to have his child, then he would reveal his true colors and start his real revenge.'
"But the two surveillance videos intercepted by Zachary could threaten him with a divorce," Bentley raised a cold eyebrow, "For someone as hypocritical as Rock, his reputation and image are what he cares about the most. He climbed to where he is today relying on those. He definitely wouldn't want that video to get out."
Winnie remained silent. She would keep these two videos safe.
In the depths of her heart, she felt cold and sighed. Three years ago, Rock had helped her a lot. At that time, she was deeply hurt by Lawrence, and he was always there for her.
Now, Winnie didn't know if his feelings were genuine or fake.
She never expected that one day, they would end up like this.
Even if she didn't love him, she was grateful to him.
But what about Rock? He never gave up on trying to win her over. What exactly was he plotting?
Winnie's mind was in turmoil, engulfed in a chill.
"Anyway, living with Rock now means being in danger at any time," Bentley warned her, "If you refuse to move out, then lock your door every night and remember to report to me that you're safe!"
"You wouldn't want me to tell Lawrence the truth at the risk of your safety, would you? He might stop you then."
Winnie glared at him, not wanting Lawrence to know and complicate things.
She could only nod, "Thank you, Bentley."
Bentley added, "Also, I think it's best to temporarily let your two sons stay with Lawrence. Don't let them have too much contact with Rock. I suspect Rock has more than just one woman. With his experience, he definitely can't have only one woman by his side. Who knows if he has any STDs?"
Goosebumps rose on Winnie's skin.
Meanwhile, after venting to his female secretary, Rock felt refreshed.
At that moment, he received a call from NexaCore Group, the same company that had avoided him that morning. Now, they wanted to give him the cooperation contract.
Rock's eyes lit up, but he was always cautious.
After hanging up, he immediately called Mars, "Mr. Martin, did NexaCore Group contact you?"
"They contacted you too?" Mars smirked, feeling pleased, "Adam gives the cooperation to the Peterson Group. I told you, with Lawrence's current strength, how could Adam possibly choose him?"
"This morning, Adam was willing to meet Lawrence, probably just for show. I heard that Adam cares a lot about his reputation, probably worried about any criticisms Lawrence might have behind his back."
"The real number one company in Trento City is the Peterson Group, followed by the Harrington Group. Why would NexaCore Group make a losing deal?"
Rock was relieved to hear this.
For the Harrington Group, even a small cooperation with a conglomerate like NexaCore Group was a significant step for them.
He immediately had his secretary prepare the proposal and contract, excitedly heading to the signing hotel.
Adam actually appeared in person, sitting solemnly in the conference room.
Seeing Mars and Rock, Adam's brow furrowed slightly.
Alvin had him come to act, a director of NexaCore Group having to follow Alvin's lead because Alvin was his beloved nephew. And Adam genuinely looked down on the Peterson Family behind Mars.
The means used to frame Lawrence were too much for Adam.
If he introduced advanced technology to a company like the Peterson Group, it could cause trouble for NexaCore Group in the future.
His heart grew cold, but he smiled sternly, "Mr. King and the Harrington Group's CEO, you're both here? The contract is ready, please have a look."
"Mr. King. I heard you met Lawrence this morning. How did you decide to give the cooperation to the Peterson Group and the Harrington Group in the end?" Mars walked in with a slight sharpness in his eyes.
Rock also had questions, extending his hand humbly.
Adam stood up, shook hands with them, and said with a low but firm tone, 'I am fair. I meet and screen all bidding companies. I am confident in a well-established company like the Peterson Group, so there was no need for a meeting."
"The Harrington Group is a promising newcomer, and I believe giving you a chance will lead to a win-win situation in the future. Do you have any other questions about this?" His attitude was modest but certain.
Mars just wanted to sign the contract and go back to impress Ronnie. He didn't dare to question Adam.
Rock, on the other hand, was already very happy inside.
Adam had high hopes for the Harrington Group! That was the message he received!
After reviewing the contract, they signed the technical cooperation agreement with NexaCore Group, with the Peterson Group investing $25 billion and the Harrington Group investing $15 billion.
Following Alvin's plan, Adam let Mars and Rock leave after signing the contract.
Mars hurried back to the Peterson Family to see Ronnie.
Rock, however, lingered at the hotel entrance for a moment. After Mars left, he planned to go back and get acquainted with Adam.
Since Adam had signed with the Harrington Group, it showed that Adam was quite satisfied with him.
If he could get close to Adam, he wouldn't have to be a lackey to Ronnie anymore, or even try to please Samuel.
Adam was a higher-ranking figure than Samuel.
Calculating in his mind, Rock returned to the conference room door alone. He was about to knock when he saw Adam inside, opening his computer for a video call. With no assistant around, no one noticed Rock's return.
Adam was sitting at an angle to the door, and the computer screen was visible to Rock.
In the video call, there was a lady sitting quietly, looking at some documents. Adam was briefing her, "Chair, this is NexaCore Group's current strategy. I've already sent over the detailed documents internationally, and you'll receive them soon."But Irene, you've been in AquaVista Continent for so many years. When do you plan to come back to Veridiania?"
"Not relevant. We don't need to discuss this during the meeting, Adam. This has been our understanding for many years," Irene's deep and crisp voice replied.
As she slightly turned her head to close the file, her face revealed a side profile, and Rock standing outside the door suddenly froze! His heart skipped a beat as he saw that face, which looked exactly like Winnie's serious face at work!
Except she had aged, with wrinkles, but still stunningly beautiful.
It was almost identical to Winnie.
Rock's eyes widened in shock, a glint of recognition in his eyes.
