Due to the incident that occurred six years ago, Winifred was often the target of ridicule from his family members. It was an inescapable truth that Winifred now no longer had any status in the Zea family. Even family members could not directly mock him.
Now that Iris has gained a successful man like Travis, she has become the most valuable person in the Zea family. Winifred would never be able to win against him. So, this matter has been solved just like that. Winifred was eventually given the impossible task of being able to negotiate with the Smith Group.
Iris even forced Winifred to promise that if the deal did not work out, then Winifred would be expelled from the Zea Group.
The next day, inside the private room of a classy restaurant, Liam Smith was twisting the glass of red wine in his hand.
He's been waiting for quite a while. Even though she was wearing branded clothes, no one could hide her monstrous appearance. The man had a face similar to a mouse. When Liam was a kid, he had chickenpox, which is why his face was filled with scar holes. If she was going to be cast in a horror movie, she wouldn't even have to use any makeup.
At that moment, the door of the private room was opened. Winifred came in wearing a formal business skirt suit. He looks nervous. After all, Liam's depraved reputation had spread throughout the city.
When he entered, Liam scrunched his eyes as he stared at Winifred thoroughly. As she looked at it, Liam was attracted by Winifred's beautiful face and sensual body figure. Over the years, Liam had many women, but he had never met a woman as beautiful as Winifred. The glare of his evil eyes started to flash through it!
"Sorry, Mr. Smith. Traffic was heavy on the road, so I was a little restrained. Please forgive me."
"Haha, it's okay. Being able to wait for a beauty like Miss Zea is an honor for me."
Winifred began to sit down and took a deep breath, hoping that she would not feel nervous. "Mr Smith, I came here today in the hope of discussing an issue within your company where your company is looking for the right business partner. Our Zea Group has been collaborating with the Smith Group for some time now. We have also heard that the Smith Group can set up an investment in the city centre and even obtain a long-term collaboration project with the luxury Italian brand Gucci. Now, your company is looking for business associates. With the capabilities of the Zea Group, if we can collaborate with the Smith Group on this, I feel confident that the two of us will be able to benefit each other. Mr. Smith, this is the material I have prepared. Please learn first!" As he spoke, Winifred pushed the portfolio of Zea Group that he had meticulously prepared to Liam.
However, Liam instead shook his head with a smile. He removed the material and then touched Winifred's hand. "Miss Zea, I'm sure you've done a lot of homework before coming here. If so, you should know the first terms to negotiate business with me."
Winifred frowned and immediately pulled his hand back. "Mr Smith, it seems you have misinterpreted the meaning of my arrival."
"Hmm?" Liam, too, frowned slightly before the man poured a glass of wine for Winifred. Miss Zea, why don't we have a drink?
"Sorry, Mr. Smith. I can't drink alcohol."
"You just have to learn. Drink this glass first, and we'll talk later."
"Mr Smith..."
"It's just a sip. You can't even show me your respect?"
Winifred felt helpless, she decided to raise the wine glass to her lips. He took a sip of wine, as Liam suddenly stood up, pinching his jaw, while the other hand raised the wine glass to force the contents into Winifred's throat. Winifred started to cough and choke. The effects of alcohol had made his face flushed red and his mind started to go awry.
"Mr Smith, you..."
Winifred brushed off his hand. "Master. Smith, please show some respect."
"Show me respect?" Liam grunting. "Winifred, since you're already here to negotiate business with me, why would you be so innocent?" As he spoke, Liam picked up a beautiful box from a nearby chair and threw it towards Winifred.
The contents inside the box had made Winifred's scalp feel prickly.
"Winifred Zea, if you want to collaborate with our company, of course you can. But there's only one condition, which is that you have to have a nice talk with me. How about that?"
Winifred only felt that he had been greatly humiliated. He became very angry and immediately stood up.
Trying to leave? Liam narrowed his eyes and pounced on Winifred like a hungry wolf. "Miss Zea, you're too pretty, the prettiest woman I've ever met."
"Let me go." Winifred struggled to get away from Liam due to reflexes. He turned around, and immediately ran, but Liam again pounced on him again.
"You've set yourself free, don't even think of running away from me! Stop acting so holy in front of me..."
In a panic, Winifred took a bottle of wine from the table and smashed it on Liam's forehead very hard. Liam yelled loudly and stabbed into his ear and fell to the ground due to the attack from Winifred. His forehead was covered in blood.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Smith. I didn't do it on purpose."
Liam put a hand on his forehead and then saw blood start to flow in his hand. He shouted furiously, "You... How dare you hit me! You must die! The entire Zea Group must die!".
An hour later, inside the higher management conference room of Zea Group.
"What's? Smith Group has ended all business collaboration with our company?” Jorge's face turned pale as he shouted. "What the hell is going on?"
"Grandfather, it's all because of Winifred." Iris continued to say enigmaticly, "Grandfather, the company has given her trust. That's why we gave him such an important task. But not only has he failed to secure this project, but he has also undermined our already-running partnership with the Smith Group. This time we suffered a considerable loss. Winifred has also hit the young master of the Smith family."
"What?" Jorge's body seemed to be trembling with anger." Winifred, what have you done? Why do you have enough courage to even hit the young master of the Smith family!"
Winifred looked sad. "Grandfather, it was Liam Smith who had harassed me first."
"Hidden?" Iris stared intently at Winifred. "Why are you acting so holy? Even a beggar can touch you. Are you trying to say that the young master of the Smith Group is not comparable to your beggar?"
