Chapter 860
"Cassie, what exactly are you trying to do?" nbsp;Joseph looked puzzled. "Did your dad know you sold the Chapman family shares like that?"
nbsp;
The Chapman family was the largest logistics company in Madison, especially with the rapid development of e-commerce in recent years. Many people had their eyes on the Chapman family, but Cassie casually sold it off.
nbsp;
"Yes, he knew. I persuaded him to sell," nbsp;Cassie shrugged indifferently nbsp;and answered. nbsp;"There's internal strife within the Chapman family. My grandfather, despite his age, still has ambitions. Atlas and his daughter are constantly watching the Chapman family's movements, the shareholders follow Atlas like a pack of wolves. It's better to sell it off and be done with it."
nbsp;
She continued, nbsp;"Dedacorp Company is a major company in Luminia. Once Henry enters the Chapman family, he will definitely aim to challenge my grandfather and the others for power. It's going to get interesting."
nbsp;
Joseph fell silent.
nbsp;
Joseph imagined the scene. Paul would probably be very angry. If the Chapman family's ancestors knew, they would probably crawl out of their graves.
nbsp;
That nbsp;was nbsp;the legacy of the Chapman family, and Cassie just sold it to someone from Luminia.
nbsp;
"You really are..." Joseph was at a loss for words.
nbsp;
Cassie interrupted Joseph, "And one more thing, I have a feeling that the Chamberlain family's establishment of a joint venture this time is a trap. Henry is also savvy in finance. Once he's in, he will at least disrupt Felix's ambition to become the top family in Madison."
nbsp;
"In the end, are you trying to help me?" Joseph's eyes suddenly lit up.
nbsp;
"You're overthinking it," nbsp;Cassie said, rolling her eyes before turning to leave.
nbsp;
But before she could take a few steps, Joseph grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms, and with a hint of regret and annoyance in his eyes, he stared at Cassie. nbsp;"Cassie, do you really want to break up with me? I've been waiting for you to apologize."
nbsp;
"Sorry, but I don't plan to apologize," nbsp;Cassie said mercilessly.
nbsp;
"You!" Joseph stared at Cassie with dead eyes. If looks could kill, Cassie would have been killed countless times by Joseph's gaze.
nbsp;
Joseph had chased her all the way here. Why couldn't Cassie lower her head a bit and apologize?
nbsp;
"So you want to break up with me?" Joseph's breathing quickened. nbsp;"You went to a bar with another man at night and caused a scandal. I can't even complain? Don't you think that's too much?"
nbsp;
Cassie looked up at Joseph. No one understood Joseph better than her. Joseph's anger was reaching its peak.
nbsp;
Cassie sighed, "I didn't intend to break up with you. When I said I had something to do, I really did. There's no rule saying you can't discuss business at a bar. Besides, the photos didn't capture me kissing or hugging another man."
nbsp;
"Regardless, it's an undeniable fact that you went to the bar with another man without telling me," Joseph said as Cassie explained, his tone slightly softened. Still, his expression was already cold and stern, "I can reluctantly forgive you this time, but don't let it happen again."
nbsp;
Joseph's words were firm as if Cassie was begging for his forgiveness.
nbsp;
Cassie, however, completely disagreed, "Why do I have to listen to you? When you meet Megan, is it always just the two of you? If you have the ability, you could have called me over."
nbsp;
"I won't be meeting Megan in the future," Joseph paused for a moment, then said immediately.
nbsp;
"Is that so?" nbsp;Cassie replied with a sarcastic smile.
nbsp;
"I have no reason to deceive you," Joseph snorted, adopting a condescending tone, "Well, considering your good attitude in admitting your mistake this time, let's just let it nbsp;go."
nbsp;
Cassie fell silent.
nbsp;
Her good attitude in admitting her mistake?
nbsp;
When did she admit any mistake?
nbsp;
She truly admired Joseph's shamelessness.
nbsp;
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Joseph, unable to maintain his composure under Cassie's strange gaze, was on the verge of losing control emotionally, "Cassie, I've been backing down for you time and time again. No woman has ever dared to provoke me like this before."
nbsp;
"What did I do to provoke you? I didn't do anything." Cassie looked at Joseph mockingly nbsp;and said,, "Step aside, I'm going back to the hotel. It's too sunny."
