Chapter 99
Lauren's heart ached as she met Gianna's gaze, filled with disgust and anger. "It's because of associating with such unscrupulous people that you've become like this!"
Gianna remained indifferent, her eyes with no emotion. "It seems my appearance has nothing to do with any of you."
Lauren's voice turned cold. "If it weren't for you causing the cancellation of the Clinton Group and Redstone Group's collaboration, do you think we would even bother coming to find you?"
Gianna frowned and dialed Felix's number directly. Soon, he answered.
"Why the sudden call? What's up?"
Gianna sneered, "Isn't this what you expected?"
Felix fell silent for a few seconds, his voice deepening. "What do you mean ?"
"Mr. Clinton, you intentionally canceled the collaboration with the Redstone Group, hoping to provoke Julian and Lauren to come to me and then force me to come to you, right?"
"Where are you now? I'll come!"
Gianna's expression remained calm as she spoke slowly, "I called to tell you that you should no longer use the Redstone family to cause me trouble. We have nothing to do with each other anymore!"
With that, Gianna hung up the phone.
Lauren and Julian at the door were stunned by her actions, and for a moment, no one spoke.
After several seconds, Lauren trembled and pointed at Gianna. "How could you treat Felix like that? Quickly apologize to him!"
If Gianna completely offended Felix, there would be no hope for future cooperation with the Redstone Group!
Seeing Lauren's angry expression, Gianna slammed the villa door. If Lauren hadn't moved quickly, her face might have been hit by the door.
She stomped her feet and shouted inside, "Gianna, you've really been crazy! Are you out of your mind?"
Julian, watching Lauren's furious appearance, couldn't help but frown.
He remembered that Lauren used to be as gentle as her name. When the fortune teller said that Gianna would bring ruin to the Redstone family, he said he would get rid of Gianna, and she would only sit on the bed and cry silently.
When did she slowly become like this, even making him feel a bit unfamiliar? Perhaps it was from the day he realized he didn't love her anymore that she changed in his eyes.
After Lauren scolded for a while and saw no response from inside, she finally stopped.
Turning her head, she saw Julian staring at her in shock, and she frowned. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Julian snapped out of it, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing. It seems she won't knock on the door. Let's go back."
Lauren was silent for a moment, about to leave with him when suddenly the sound of a car engine started.
They both turned their heads at the same time and saw a black Maybach.
Julian's face changed when he recognized it was Felix's car. He quickly walked over, and Bella, who had been sitting in the car, also got out and walked over.
As soon as Felix got out of the car, Bella's weak voice sounded next to him.
"Felix, why do you come here?"
"Felix." Julian also went up to meet him.
Felix didn't even look at them, going straight to the villa gate and knocking on the door, saying, "Gianna, open the door; I want to talk to you."
A few seconds later, Gianna's cold voice came from inside. "I have nothing to talk to you, and please leave."
At this moment, in the villa living room, Gianna and Laura were snacking on melon seeds and watching TV.
Hearing Felix's voice, Laura rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Your disgusting parents have caused enough trouble. Your ex-husband, who caused the dispute, is only here now. Not have a good people."
Originally, she thought her parents were already weird enough, but today, seeing Gianna's parents, she realized that there was only more weirdness, not the most weirdness.
In comparison, her parents seemed quite normal.
Gianna put the melon seeds back, clapped her hands, and said, "Don't mention unhappy things. I'm going upstairs to take a shower. You go to bed early before finishing watch."
"Okay."
Outside the door, Felix's face darkened at Gianna's response.
He turned around and looked coldly at Sophia Mars. "What did you say to Julian?"
Sensing Felix's anger, Sophia Mars trembled and said, "I just said that if he wants the Clinton Group to continue cooperating with the Redstone Group, he should find Gianna."
Felix turned and walked towards Julian, his body as cold as ancient ice.
"Julian, I made it clear to Bella yesterday that if you want to invite me to dinner, you should invite my wife as well. You did not invite my wife, but you also made it difficult for her today, right?"
Under Felix's cold gaze, Julian couldn't help but feel a touch of fear.
It was pressure from a superior, although he was also the CEO of the Redstone Group. However, because of the difference in status, he did not have Felix's dominating aura.
Julian's lips trembled, "Felix, we did call her yesterday, but Gianna refused to go, and I had no choice."
Felix sneered, speaking slowly and deliberately, "I agreed to give the Redstone Group the projects before, but it was because of my wife. Since you've made it difficult for her, I have no choice but to make it difficult for the Redstone Group!"
Julian's eyes flashed with disbelief, and his pupils involuntarily contracted.
"Wasn't it Bella who called you to plead, and you gave those projects to the Redstone Group for Bella’s sake?"
How could it be because of Gianna? Didn't he always dislike Gianna?
Bella and Lauren beside him also had their faces changed.
Since Felix agreed to cooperate with the Redstone Group, Bella has always felt a vague sense of unease because she always felt that Felix's agreement was not because of herself.
Now, this unease has become a reality; she can not believe he actually is for Gianna! How could he do that?
Lauren looked at Bella with anger in her eyes and gritted her teeth, "Belle, didn't you tell me that Felix agreed? What's going on?"
Thinking of being deceived, Lauren was extremely angry!
She took Bella to waste nearly ten million that day, but she lied to herself!
For Lauren, spending money is secondary; the most important thing is that her daughter, whom she has always been proud of, actually lied to her! She can't accept that fact!
Bella bit her lip, her face pale and white, not knowing how to explain.
A coldness flashed in Felix's eyes, "I have never promised anyone anything; you figure out a way to apologize to my wife; she will not forgive you for a day; the cooperation between the Clinton Group and the Redstone Group will be postponed for a day! If Gianna still hasn't forgiven you after a month, those projects are something the company wants to do!"
With that, he got into the car and left without looking at the pale faces of the few people.
The three stood in place with their thoughts, and for a moment, no one spoke. Finally, Lauren spoke first.
She looked at Bella, her eyes full of anger, "Bella, I am really disappointed in you! I never thought you would tell such a lie!"
