Chapter 78 What is your relationship with Aaron?
After hanging up the phone, Allison turned around and looked at Susanna. She felt that she had to prove to Elaine that Susanna was indeed pregnant.
After thinking about it, Allison opened WhatsApp and playfully said, "Johnny, didn't you say you wanted to find a talented girl? Well, I have a colleague in the studio who was the first-place winner in the last competition, surpassing me. I'll introduce her to you next time."
After Allison had arranged everything, she turned around and told her supervisor, saying, "The order for this mansion has come again, and the client specifically requested Susanna to do it."
"Okay, I'll give her the order later." The supervisor replied.
Allison left the office with a wicked smile.
Allison thought to herself, 'Now that she had a connection with the Abbott family, she wanted to cut off ties with Johnny as much as possible. It worked out perfectly if she could introduce Susanna to Johnny. That way, she could reduce a lot of trouble for herself, and she would also have Elaine help her. Johnny wouldn't be able to do anything to her then.'
Soon, Susanna received an order for a mansion. She called the client, and a middle-aged man answered the phone. After introducing herself, she said, "I'd like to get a preliminary understanding of your design requirements."
"Mr. Crol is busy. You'll have to come and see for yourself to know the specific requirements," a middle-aged man replied.
"When will Mr. Crol be available?" Susanna asked.
"Tomorrow afternoon. Just come to the villa directly." The person on the other end of the line quickly finished speaking and hung up.
Susanna glanced at the phone and thought that these wealthy people were all arrogant.
The next afternoon, Susanna went to the villa according to the address. However, as she walked in, she suddenly felt uncomfortable all over her body. Maybe it was because she didn't like the interior decoration of the hall.
Susanna sat on the sofa and waited. Soon, a servant brought juice and drinks. Susanna raised her head to ask, "May I ask..." Before she could finish, the servant walked away with a cold face.
Susanna closed her mouth again, but she glanced at the juice in front of her and didn't touch any of it. After all, she was pregnant now and couldn't just eat anything.
Time passed slowly, and the sun outside was about to set.
Susanna felt that the temperature in the hall had dropped significantly. She took out her phone and dialed the number again, but no one answered.
She thought for a moment and stood up, preparing to leave. But as she took a few steps, she heard a man's voice from behind. "Miss Miller, wait."
Susanna turned around and saw an older man in a wheelchair coming out of the elevator, with a tall, middle-aged man standing next to him. From his voice, she knew that the middle-aged man on the phone before was this man.
Susanna walked back again. "Hello, Mr. Crol."
"I heard that you are the first-place winner of the H.F. International Design Competition. Indeed, good-looking people are talented," Mr. Crol said.
Susanna forced a smile because she always felt that Mr. Crol's gaze was strange.
"Miss Miller, please have a seat. You have yet to eat the fruits on the table. Don't you like them? What do you like to eat? Let me have someone change it for you." Mr. Crol said.
"No need, Mr. Crol," Susanna said. "These are some case design drawings I made. Take a look and let me know if you like any of them."
Susanna laid out the designs on the table.
However, Mr. Crol waved his hand the next moment, and the middle-aged man next to him took the case design drawings. At the same time, Mr. Crol handed her a business card. "Miss Miller, perhaps you don't know who I am. Let me introduce myself," he said.
Susanna saw the title "President of Willton Construction Company" on the business card. She remembered this company. She had once helped Aaron deliver some documents. At that time, the current president of Willton Construction Company wanted Aaron to invest in a golf course project. However, Aaron seemed to have refused.
But later, Susanna noticed that the golf course was still open. She heard Aaron mention that there were some issues with that piece of land.
Johnny continued, "Miss Miller, I can buy all these design drawings from you. Now, let's talk about something else. What do you usually like to do?"
When Susannah heard this, she felt something was wrong. She stood up and said, "Mr. Crol, if you haven't decided on the design yet, please find me when you have made up your mind."
After saying that, she intended to leave, but the door of the villa was closed. Susanna paused for a moment and looked at Johnny. "What are you trying to do?" she asked.
"Miss Miller, girls like you are all labeled with a price tag. Some prices are high, and some are low. But you, with your talent, you can set a higher price. I am generous. As long as you behave well, I can fulfill your wishes. After all, I am old and can't spend all this money," Johnny said with a cold look.
Susanna responded with a cold face, "I'm sorry, I won't accept."
"Miss Miller, since you are here today, why pretend to be so reserved? I have no patience," Johnny said.
Susanna saw the tall, middle-aged man approaching her and took several steps back, quickly taking out her phone. "If you come any closer, I will call the police," she said.
The next moment, her phone was snatched by the middle-aged man.
Johnny's eyes turned cold as he said, "Take her upstairs and make sure to tie her hands and feet properly."
Susanna took a deep breath. "Mr. Crol, you must know Aaron?"
Johnny looked up and asked, "What?"
"I remember a year ago, your son wanted Aaron to invest in a golf course project. However, he was ultimately refused because the water quality of that golf course was problematic. The land used to be an industrial site and is not suitable for resort development." Susanna replied.
After Susanna finished speaking, Johnny waved his hand at the middle-aged butler. "You seem to know a lot. What is your relationship with Aaron? Were you together before?"
"It doesn't matter what my relationship with Aaron is. The most important thing is that the land has now been developed into a resort, and it has been doing well recently. If there are any problems exposed there, Willton Construction Company will be in trouble, and your son will be sued. And from what I know, your company has been facing economic issues since last year. If this project fails, the consequences..." Susanna didn't finish speaking.
She was imitating Aaron's usual tone during negotiations, but she was actually very scared.
She had no idea about Willton Construction Company's economic problems. She was only inferring from Aaron's words.
They all fell silent.
Susanna straightened her back and stared directly at Johnny.
After a while, Johnny spoke. "What is your relationship with Aaron?"
Susanna smiled and said, "He doesn't want me to tell others about our relationship, so I can't tell you. Why don't you call and ask for yourself? I still have his number in my phone."
