Back to the Cater's mansion.

When I entered the living room, it was already nine o'clock. I looked around and didn't see Lundy. Frowning, I asked, "where is Lundy?"

Cheryl, who was responsible for taking care of Lundy, was coming downstairs. "Master, young Master has taken a shower and is staying in his room. Do you want to go upstairs and see him?"

I nodded slightly and went upstairs.

"Master, there is one more thing..."

Cheryl said hesitantly, "when the young master came back tonight, there was a very serious bruise on his wrist. I asked him, but he refused to tell me. I don't know if he was bullied in the kindergarten. I think we should pay attention to this matter."

"Got it. I'll go upstairs and have a look."

Then she quickened her pace to the door of Lundy and knocked on it.

Soon, Lundy came over and opened the door for me. hE didn't have any reaction when he saw me. he opened the door, turned around and went in.

I followed him and saw him go back to the table and draw something with a brush.

Seeing that he was serious, i didn't disturb him. I waited aside for a while. When he put down his pen, I said in a low voice, "Cheryl said that you were injured and let dad have a look at you."

Lundy showed me her injured hand obediently.

Seeing the wound on his hand, I frowned slightly. "How did you get it? Was it bullied by a child?"

Lundy was stunned and then shook his head hard.

Wasn't he bullied?

"Then what's going on?"

Lundy picked up the brush again and wrote a few letters on the notebook.

"Fell"

After that, he tilted her head with uncertainty.

"Fell down?"

I saw his handwriting and asked him for confirmation.

Lundy nodded.

I breathed a sigh of relief and touched his wound. "Did the teacher apply medicine to you?"

Lundy nodded.

I nodded, looked at his white and tender hands, and said, "the injury has only been healed for a few days. You still need to apply medicine. Daddy will help you, okay?"

The little guy didn't refuse.

I squatted down, picked him up and went downstairs.

When we arrived at the hall, I put the little boy on my lap, sat on the sofa and ordered Cheryl, "bring the medicine box here."

Cheryl brought the medicine box here soon.

I took out the spray and sprayed it on his wound. Then I kneaded him for a while.

Lundy didn't make a fuss. he just pursed his lips and frowned.

I observed his expression from time to time to see if it hurt.

This little guy looked a little like that woman in a serious way.

As if sensing my gaze, Lundy looked up in confusion and pointed at the corner of my mouth with a frown.

I knew what he meant. I held his little hand and comforted him, "it's okay. A little wild cat bit me."

Lundy was even more confused. She grabbed the pen and paper on the tea table and wrote, "cat, where did you get it?"

"It came back from abroad."

After saying that, I didn't want to talk about that woman anymore. i was afraid that I couldn't suppress anger in front of my son.

Seeing that the little boy was still confused, I raised my hand and took away the pen and paper in his hand. "Well, it's about time. Daddy will take you to bed."

..

Aimee's pov

When I took the Dexter's car home, I put the car on the agenda.

When we arrived home, the two kids were still awake and Daphne was watching TV with them in the living room.

As soon as they saw me, the two kids immediately looked away from the TV and trotted over. "Mommy!"

I touched their heads with a smile.

"Did you drink?"

Aviva wrinkled her nose and said, "I'll make you some tea to sober up. You won't feel headache tomorrow morning."

Then she turned around and went into the kitchen.

Cyrus pulled me all the way to the sofa and sat on my laps. He carefully massaged my temples and said, "I'm giving mommy a massage. Mommy doesn't feel uncomfortable."

Daphne's eyes lit up with envy. "Why is my godson so considerate?"

I looked at her with a smile. "Like it? You can have a baby too."

Daphne shook her head repeatedly. "Forget it. I just want to steal these two from your family."

Cyrus comforted her, " you don't have to steal it. If you are drunk, my sister and I will take care of you in the same way."

"The babies are so good. I love you so much!"

I took the sober up tea from Aviva and took a sip.

After drinking the tea, it was late.

"Well, I'm fine. Go upstairs and have a rest!"

I kissed the foreheads of the two kids.

The two kids nodded, said good night to Daphne and went upstairs obediently.

After the two kids went upstairs, the smile on my face gradually faded away.

"What's the matter?"

Daphne turned off the TV and came over to ask.

I hesitated for a moment and told him what happened tonight. "I met Penn at dinner just now."

I couldn't tell anyone about what happened six years ago.

Hearing this, Daphne was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but sigh, "what kind of tragedy is this? The River City is so big. I thought that if you didn't take the initiative to find each other, there would be almost no chance for you to meet each other."

I lowered my eyes.

"So, what do you think after seeing him?" Daphne asked.

My lips twitched. " Six years ago, he and I were over. Now we are just two strangers. I won't be influenced by him anymore. For the rest of my life, I just want to take good care of Aviva and Cyrus and lead a good life with them."

Daphne smiled and patted me on the shoulder. "That's good. You're so excellent, and there are many people chasing after you. Take your time. Let's abandon that scum!"

I nodded slightly and didn't want to continue this topic. So I changed the subject. "By the way, I haven't bought a car since I came back. Today's reception party is held with colleagues' cars. It's not convenient. Are you free tomorrow morning? Can you go with me to pick a car?"

"What do you want to buy? I have several cars in the garage. You can just pick one."

I raised my eyebrows with a smile, "so good?"

Daphne wrapped her arms around my neck and said confidently, "of course. You are my godson's mother, and mine is yours!"

I promise with a smile.

After chatting for a while, Daphne checked the time and found that it was very late. Then she slowly went back to the next room.

After I washed my face, I lay on the bed, but I couldn't fall asleep.

After tossing and turning for a long time, i finally fell asleep.

In a daze, I seemed to return to the empty room of Wilk.

I was pressed against the wall. In front of me was a handsome face of Penn. He squinted dangerously and approached me.

When we were about to kiss, I suddenly woke up and broke out in a cold sweat.

Because of that dream, I almost didn't sleep all night.

The second morning, with eyebags, I sat at the table and had breakfast with the two kids.

"Mommy, didn't you sleep well last night?" Aviva asked in a sweet voice.

I was a little stunned, and then I thought of the dream again. After a few seconds, I smiled as if nothing had happened. "Well, I accidentally read the files too late yesterday."

The two kids have always been sensitive. I was afraid that they would ask me more. After saying that, I pretended to eat and lowered my head.

The two kids didn't ask any more questions. They just said, "Mommy, don't be too tired. Take good care of yourself!"

I nodded with a smile.

After breakfast, I'll take the two kids to Daphne to get the car.

"Pick whatever you like. " Daphne took us to the garage, with a bunch of car keys in her hand.

The two kids were young, but they knew a lot of famous cars. When they saw the cars in the garage, they clapped their hands and said, "godmother, you are so generous!"

I went inside and found a Mercedes Benz worth about one million at a medium price.

Daphne gave me the key without hesitation.

I'll drive the two kids to school after I get the car.

"Bye, Mommy! Don't be too tired!"

After getting off the car, the two kids said goodbye obediently.

I touched their heads and said, "you too. Be good at school. Mommy will pick you up tonight."

The two kids nodded and entered the school side by side.

Seeing their backs disappear from my sight, I turned around and got in the car. Then I started the car and slowly left the school gate.

Penn's pov

The car stopped at the gate of the kindergarten.

I sat in the back seat and watched Bill get out of the car. He opened the back door and carefully carried Lundy out of the car.

Lundy stood on the ground, turned around and waved at me.

" go inside." I touched his head and said gently.

Lundy nodded and walked into the kindergarten.

Looking at Lundy's back, I felt a little suspicious.

Lundy looked much happier than usual today.

Perhaps it was because he had spent more time with other kis in the kindergarten that he was more relax.

It seemed that what the psychologist said was right. If the little boy had more contact with his pals, his autism would be slowly relieved.

Seeing that Lundy was picked up by the teacher, I withdrew my sight and said to Bill, "let's go."

When I arrived at the company, I attended the high-level meeting immediately.

More than an hour had passed when the meeting was over.

I went straight back to my office.

"Penn, you're back."

As soon as I entered, I heard Bonnie's voice.

Hearing this, I frowned slightly.

Bonnie in a black suit standing in front of my desk with a smile. It seemed that she had been waiting for a while.

"When did you come here?"

I strode to the desk and glanced at the documents on it. Finally, my eyes fell on Bonnie's face.

Bonnie also sat down and smiled gently. "I just arrived. I heard from Bill that you were in a meeting."

Then she looked at the corner of my mouth and asked, "is your mouth... Hurt?"

When I thought of what happened yesterday, there was a touch of displeasure in my eyes, and my tone was cold. "It's just that I accidentally bit it. There's no need to make a fuss."

"What's the matter?" I asked coldly.

Bonnie smiled and said, "yes, I do have some business to deal with. The project we cooperated before is about to be signed, so I come to confirm with you if there are any other conditions. Besides, my parents want to invite you to dinner tonight. Uncle and aunt are also here. I wonder if you have time."

I glanced at her, frowned slightly, and said in a very cold tone, "please tell Uncle and aunt that I have a social engagement tonight, and I don't have time to attend the banquet."

She looked at me with an aggrieved face and said, "Penn, I've been waiting for you for six years. How can a woman have so many six years? Of course I'm willing to wait for you. But if we are destined to be together, why are you still unwilling to get married? At the very beginning, you should let the elders at home rest assured, right? We have planned the marriage from the beginning, why..."

"I did promise to give you an engagement."

I interrupted her question coldly, "but you should be very clear about where this promise comes from. In my opinion, the Carter family has made enough compensation to the Hunter family in all aspects over the years, and even far exceeded the value of this engagement. No one will say anything about this engagement, even if we don't fufill it."

After saying that, I ignored Bonnie's reaction.

At that time, the reason why I decided to marry Bonnie was to repay her grandfather for saving my life.

Because of this, I have a close relationship with the Hunter family. Therefore, when the elders proposed to let me marry my Bonnie, I accepted it noncommittally.

I even felt that Bonnie was the goddess in my heart.

It was not until six years ago that I realized that my love for Bonnie was not the love I imagined.

After that, the elders of the two families urged me many times to complete the marriage as soon as possible, but I found an excuse to put it off.

In the past six years, I have tried my best to provide convenience to the Hunter family and agreed to all their business requests, just to repay the favor of saving my life in the past.

Now, in my opinion, the debt of gratitude is enough.

At least, there was no need to fulfill this marriage.

"Penn.."

I pressed between my eyebrows and interrupted her calmly, "put down the documents. I'll read them later. I have work to do. If there's nothing else, you can leave now."

Aimee's POV

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

I will go to the place appointed with the material supplier with Dexter from the Research Institute.

On the way, it suddenly occurred to me that I hadn't had the chance to know the situation of the cooperative partner yet, so I asked Dexter, "what's the specific situation of the supplier we signed?"

As the director of the Research Institute, if I know nothing about the suppliers, they may think that our attitude is not good enough when we sign the contract later, which will inevitably affect the cooperation.

Dexter introduced the materials to me in detail, "this supplier is very large-scale in the River City. The family runs the production of incense materials. On the other hand, the price of this supplier is relatively fair. In addition, our research institute has a great influence overseas. They know that they want to make friends with us, and their attitude is also good. You can rest assured."

Hearing this, I nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. "I know several big suppliers of River City. According to you, the one who signed the contract with us today should be one of them. Which one is it?"

Dexter said, "the Hunter family."

I was stunned.

The Hunter family?

As far as I know, there is only one medical business in the River City whose surname is Hunter.

And I happened to have a grudge against.

Thinking of this, I frowned slightly. I just hope that I won't be so unlucky to meet the person I don't want to see the most.

After a while, we arrived at the coffee shop.

The suppliers hadn't arrived yet.

Dexter and I sat down first and ordered two cups of coffee, waiting for the other party.

About ten minutes later, someone knocked on the door.

"Here you are."

Dexter cheered up and said to me.

I nodded, stood up and said, "come in, please."

After a while, the door was pushed open and a man's voice came in. "Sorry, we are late."

I raised my eyes and looked forward. As a result, I met Bonnie.

Bonnie widened his eyes in astonishment. His voice was a little shrill because of excitement. "You... Aimee? Why are you here?"

Dexter asked friendly, "Miss Hunter, do you know Aimee?"

Bonnie's face changed again. "Aimee?"

"This is the director general of our research institute, Aimee. Knowing that we signed the contract today, she specially came with me to show our sincerity." Dexter introduced.

Looking at the sullen Bonnie, I asked bluntly, "Miss Hunter, are you going to continue our cooperation?"

Bonnie's face turned cold and her eyes became playful. "Of course, Mr. Finger has been working with us for so long for this contract. I won't let his efforts be in vain."

As soon as he finished speaking, he called the waiter and ordered four more cups of coffee.

"I really want to cooperate with you, but I don't think the price we discussed before is appropriate. Today, Aimee, the general manager, is here. I hope we can talk about the price again."

Bonnie wore a professional smile, but his eyes were full of coldness.

"Miss Hunter?"

"I hope to raise the original price by two points."

"Two points higher?" Dexter was stunned. "Miss Hunter, didn't we reach an agreement before? Now that we are going to sign the contract, why do you suddenly raise the price?"

Crossing her legs leisurely, Bonnie said in a lesuired tone, "yes, it's a deal. But the price of the materials has generally increased this year. If we still sign the contract with you at the original price, we will suffer a lot. I hope Mr. Finger can understand."

What he said sounded reasonable.

Dexter frowned and wanted to say something, but I stopped him.

"I think the Miss Hunter wants to raise the price just because he saw me. I know the price of the materials market very well. If you want to raise the price, we can talk about it. But it's unreasonable to raise the price by two points at one time."

I wanted to deal with it as a matter of fact, but it was obvious that the other party was deliberately making difficulties for me, so there was no need for me to tolerate it.

Bonnie said coldly, "no matter what the reason is, we are asking this price now. If you two think it's not appropriate, our group is not short of this deal."

"In that case, I'll just take it as the waste of our time today. A company like the Hunter Group has broken its promise. Even if we cooperate, we won't feel at ease."

Then I stood up and said to Dexter, "let's go."

Dexter nodded and walked out of the cafe with me.

"Is there any conflict between you and Bonnie?"

I don't want to recall what happened in the past, so I simply replied, "sort of."

Seeing that I didn't want to say anything more, Dexter didn't ask more. Instead, he turned to talk about the supplier and said, "we won't cooperate with the Hunter Group. We have to find another supplier."

I nodded and said, "then look for it. The River City is so big. There are always other suppliers who are willing to cooperate with us except the Hunter Group."

"Okay." Dexter nodded with a smile.

Penn's POV

The Carter Group.

"Sir, I have found the news about the man with Miss Miller last night."

Hearing this, I put aside my work. Thinking of the back of Aimee who left with a strange man last night, my eyes darkened. "Who is he?"

"That man's name is Dexter, and he is in charge of the Moonlight. The Sharp family's Felton Sharp, had asked him to customize."

He raised his head and looked at me. "Besides, I found that Dexter is still single. Miss Miller has nothing to do with him. Miss Miller is also a doctor in college. Maybe they know each other at school."

Hearing this possibility, my face softened slightly. "Other than this, have you found anything else?"

Bill looked a little embarrassed. "That's all we can find out at present. As for Miss Miller, we only know that she just came back. We can't find anything about her abroad for the time being."

I frowned and felt a little dissatisfied. But since I haven't found it out, it's useless for me to ask more. Then I turned to Felton Sharp and asked, "how is Mr. Sharp now?"

"Mr. the situation of Sharp is not optimistic. The Sharp family has invited almost all famous doctors at home and abroad, but they are all helpless about his situation."

I nodded slightly. "Cancel all the social engagements for me tomorrow night. I'll go to see Mr. Sharp tomorrow night."

"Yes, sir."

Bill replied and left.

Aimee's POV

As soon as Dexter and I returned to the Research Institute, we began to contact the suppliers of materials in River City.

Because the incense making materials were not available, many projects in the research institute were still put aside. If it went on like this, the loss would only be greater and greater.

The cooperation with suppliers couldn't be delayed any longer.

"The Moonlight? Didn't we talk about it before? The price you offered is too low. We can't cooperate with you!"

As soon as I told him the name of the Research Institute, I heard the man refuse without hesitation.

After thinking for a few seconds, I gritted my teeth and said, "we can raise the original price by half. Everyone, please give up. If we have a pleasant cooperation in the future, the price can't be negotiated anymore..."

The man interrupted, "it's too low. At least three points, or there's no room for negotiation."

Hearing the price, I hung up the phone directly.

Dexter's face darkened.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Finger. All the materials here have been ordered. There are not many materials available now. They can be supplied to your research institute."

As soon as I heard this, i knew that it was an excuse to perfunctorily refuse to cooperate with us.

Dexter didn't insist, "Okay, I see."

Then he hung up the phone.

We didn't get any good news until the afternoon of the second day.

The attitude of the suppliers is either polite or impatient, but there is only one result: they don't want to cooperate with us.

And one of them even told me that it was impossible for them to cooperate with the Moonlight without any reason.

We know clearly that we must have been set up.

As for the backstage manipulator, it was almost obvious.

Except for Bonnie, we can't think of the second possibility.

Knowing that I had been set up and several projects of the research institute were still stagnant.

I can't help feeling a little irritable.

I didn't expect that Bonnie would be so hostile to me after six years. She was even shameless to use such a dirty trick!

But it was not the right time to vent.

I pinched my palm to calm myself down. Then I looked up at Dexter and said, "it doesn't matter. The River City can't do that. We can contact the suppliers of other cities and find someone who is willing to cooperate with us."

However, the cost and time would also be a little higher.

Although I didn't say it, I know it in my heart.

I also hope to find a suitable local partner, but there is really no way now.

"No... I don't have to go to another city."

Dexter suddenly thought of something and said in a relaxed tone.

Hearing this, I raised my eyebrows. "Do you think there are other suppliers in River City who can cooperate with us? Those small suppliers are definitely not qualified. We need to have a certain scale..."

Dexter nodded, "I know. But you may have to do it yourself."

I'm even more confused.

"I remember you told me that you know the suppliers of materials in the River City. Have you heard of The Sharp family? The Sharp family has a very high status in the family Sharp City, and Felton Sharp, is also highly respected. However, in the past few years, the physical condition is not very good, which is caused by the poor long-term rest. The doctor said that the western medicine is bad for his health, The Sharp family had been looking for famous doctors for many times, but they were all helpless. Therefore, they decided to find a pharmacist who knew medicine to make a kind of soothing fragrance. They also invited me to have a look. I don't think I have the ability. But you may have a way. "

"Really?"

I know what he meant, but I still have some misgivings. "But the Sharp family is so large that the price of materials may not be lower than now."

Dexter said, "the Sharp family has promised that if we can cure the old master, they can give us a free batch of expensive incense making materials, and even buy materials from him at half price in the future."

Hearing this, my eyes lit up, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that there was such a good thing?"

Dexter laughed and said, "I also thought about it, but you didn't come at that time, and I was not capable enough, so I gave up at last. I just remembered it and thought that maybe you could have a try. What do you think?"

"No problem!"

I suddenly stood up and urged, "help me contact the Sharp family and ask when I can go there ."

Dexter replied with a smile, "I'm going now. Wait for me here."
