Chapter 163 Her Secret
"The Livingston Group is super into the project you're working on," Charles said, standing up with his refined yet restrained look. "Mr. Bailey, go ahead and tell your team to move forward with the cooperation contract."
Jason was baffled. Did he just score this deal that easily? It felt like a free lunch, but this was the Livingston Group, and they were serious money!
Everyone else in the room was even more confused. 'Medical live streaming? What even is that?'
Throughout the whole investment meeting, only Charles seemed to know what was happening. He popped a piece of candy into his mouth, biting down thoughtfully, his eyes flickering.
This way, he could secure a share in her funding.
Patrick caught on to Charles's thoughts. "About Adeline..."
"Jason will handle it," Charles said in a low voice.
Patrick got the message and was about to leave when he suddenly stepped back, slamming the door shut!
Charles raised an eyebrow at him.
Patrick looked panicked. "Robert is outside!"
"Robert?" Charles's tone was slow, like he was pondering. "What's he doing here?"
Patrick swallowed hard, almost getting caught by the other party. "Robert seems to have come with Jason. There's something weird between them, like they know each other well."
"Know each other well?" Charles tapped his bracelet with his fingertip, his eyes narrowing slightly. "I see."
'Looks like her funding source wasn't random. What secrets is Adeline hiding?'
"So, should I just stay in for now?" Patrick asked softly.
Charles responded, his gaze fixed outside the window. Jason's arrival seemed too coincidental, almost like he came to Eldoria specifically for Adeline.
Charles's eyes deepened.
Matteo's words echoed in his mind again.
"Adeline already told me, you and she aren't a real couple."
Charles's fingers turned white from gripping too hard, then he slowly released them.
"Patrick."
"Yes."
Charles looked out the window. "Go dig into her childhood."
Patrick knew exactly who he meant. "Yes."
'Is Charles getting too obsessed with Adeline?'
Meanwhile, Adeline, who was busy planning a live streaming operation, suddenly got a call from Jason.
"Guess what happened at the investment meeting just now?" His voice was so loud it hurt her ears.
Adeline held the phone a bit farther away, her hands busy with Whispering Fern, her tone indifferent. "Just spill it, I don't like guessing games."
Jason had a bit of a mob boss vibe. "I didn't expect my TV appearance to pay off. Even the Livingstons were charmed by my personal charisma and kept watching my interview."
Knowing the Livingston family, Adeline said, "No way, you're dreaming."
"Seriously, just now at the meeting, he said he was interested in our project and wanted to support us with resources. He told me to contact legal to draft the contract right away!" Jason smiled shyly. "He even said my face looks trustworthy."
'Is that a compliment?' Adeline propped her chin up indifferently, her eyes deepening. "Got it, hang up and go get the contract done."
"OK!" Jason was full of energy.
Adeline, however, didn't think things were that simple.
She always felt like this person had his eyes on her. Could it be because of the Cooper family incident last time?
If that's the case, she really couldn't refuse the cooperation.
Refusing would only make her seem suspicious.
Adeline tapped on the top supporter of her live streaming room, Ultimate VIP Mr. Livingston, and she directly sent a private message: [Shall we talk?]
