Chapter 7
Even the CEO of Borden gave good words for him not to succeed?
Isn't Borden CEO and Foster CEO really close friends from school?
Archie was still arrogant before, but now he couldn't even smile.
If he really insisted on signing a contract with anyone other than Diane, then they really should go and beg him humbly.
Steven's face turned unpleasant.
He never thought that this matter would become so difficult.
What did Diane do to make CEO Foster so protective of her?
"This little bitch!"
Steven laughed coldly. "Looks like he's pretty good in bed huh. She was usually acting innocent and innocent, it was all just acting!"
If he doesn't serve CEO Foster well, why would he protect her like this?
It's bullshit!
If you want her to beg Diane now, honestly this is absolutely impossible.
He would rather beg a dog than beg a useless member of William's family.
Archie's phone started ringing.
His face grew grim when he saw who was calling.
"It's Grandpa."
Archie almost cried.
He's most afraid of getting a call from Gerald right now.
But now he was in charge of this project, so if something went wrong, he was the first to blame.
"Thank you!" Steven commanded.
Archie had no choice but to take the call.
The consequences of not picking up Grandpa's phone are worse.
"Grandfather," Archie greeted his grandfather.
"Archie, how's the project with CEO Foster?" Gerald wasn't rambling.
He was most worried about the project. The project is very important and the Palmer family has invested heavily in it.
"Good, everything's going well."
Archie glanced at Steven and saw his father hinting at him. He quickly lied, "Once CEO Foster has time, we can sign the contract."
"That's great."
Gerald then said, "You better watch this one carefully, we can't afford to lose this project. If anything goes wrong, you'll get it from me!"
He hung up.
Archie's palms are sweaty.
He knew very well what kind of temperament his grandfather had.
If something were to happen, it would not be resolved as easily as just resigning or getting beaten up.
"Dad, what are we doing?"
Archie's really gonna cry.
Diane was so despicable, gave her this difficult task and took her to hot water!
Steven looks worse.
Did the two of them really have to go back to William and beg for mercy?
Previously they were still haughty and did not care about Diane and the family. If they went to beg him now, wouldn't it be as good as being slapped twice in the face?
Steven couldn't bear to imagine humbling himself to this family!
"Archi, you go."
After thinking about it, Steven said, "You go beg Diane, even if you have to beg her it's okay, even if you have to kneel, you should kneel down, as long as Diane signs this contract!"
"Dad…"
"What, you expect me to do that?"
Steven roared at his son, his eyes red.
Archie wants to save his pride, but Steven is even more desperate than his son!
If word got out that an elder like him should beg the younger members of the family, he would be utterly humiliated.
Archie did not dare to speak up after his father spoke so loudly.
He was the one who started this mess. If he ended up injuring his father's pride as a result of this, then he was completely dead.
Archie could only clench his teeth and sadly walked towards Diane's house.
…
By this time, Diane and the family had already started eating.
The table is not too big, everyone takes one side of the table and eats in silence.
This was the first time the Diane family had one more person at the table to eat.
And this is their new daughter-in-law who has married into the family.
William never talks while eating, while April doesn't know what to say.
But before that Ethan had come out and talked for her. He was not blind and could not pretend not to see all that.
Diane also did not know what to say.
Instead, Ethan behaves like he is in his own home, and doesn't care about any formality.
"Mom, you're really good at cooking, it's delicious!"
"I don't know when was the last time I ate such good food!"
"May I have another bowl of rice?"
There were more vegetables than meat on the plate on the table, but Ethan ate a lot of food as if it were a delicious meal.
Seeing her eat like this made Diane think that she might have starved many times as a homeless person.
So before April can react, Diane takes Ethan's empty rice bowl and gives him another bowl.
"Thank you, dear."
Diane was holding a rice spoon in her hand when she heard the way she called out to her, and her hand instantly trembled.
Just when the atmosphere started to be awkward, there was a sound on the door again.
William looked up and was about to return to his room when April glared at him sharply and he dared not move.
"Who is this!" April yells.
"April's aunt, it's me, Archie!"
There was some anger but also some helplessness in this voice.
April and Diane exchanged a glance. What's he doing here again?
Did he really go back to pleading with Diane like Ethan said?
The mother and son turned to Ethan, but he was still busy eating.
April walked over and opened the door. Archie immediately put a big smile on his face.
"April's aunt is having dinner? Is Diane inside?"
Archie put on his most charming face. He never smiled like this even to his own father.
He stuck his head out and saw Diane sitting at the table and quickly said, "Diane, what happened earlier was my fault, so I will apologize to you now. I hope you won't take heart and release me from this. time."
Diane and her parents were stunned by this.
Is Archie begging for mercy?
"Palmer Group can't live without you. You don't go to work for just one day and the office is a total mess!"
Archie bowed slightly and continued to smile awkwardly, "Go back to the office, there are so many projects waiting for you to finish."
That was what he said, but he scolded her in his heart.
Once this project is completed, they better be careful!
"Where's your father?"
Diane really doesn't know how to respond, and once again, Ethan speaks on her behalf.
He stuffed the food into his mouth while glancing at Archie to the side. "Why isn't he here?"
Archie was angry but kept smiling.
"My father was too busy so he asked me to come and apologize to Diane. I hope my new brother-in-law can also forgive me and not blame me."
Archie had really humbled himself this time.
He even apologized to the man who married into this family.
"It won't work."
Who would have thought that Ethan just started shaking his head? "The person who fired Diane was your father, so he should have apologized, otherwise we wouldn't have accepted."
Archie almost exploded.
This man is asking for too much!
"You ..." Archie almost wanted to yell at him.
This madman is going crazy again or something!
Diane and her parents look back at Ethan, afraid Ethan will exaggerate the matter.
Archie had already come to apologize, so they shouldn't have pushed the matter too far.
There is no point in offending this father and son.
"Dad, Mom, Diane is your precious daughter, so you take care of everything when she's bullied."
Ethan swallowed the last mouthful of rice. "Now she's my wife, so if she's bullied, I'll take care of her."
He stood up and an intense killing gaze flashed across his eyes.
"Whoever dares to bully my wife will pay dearly for it!"
This terrifying murderous aura suddenly froze the air around them and pressed down on Archie fiercely, so much so that he could not help but shudder.
"Ethan, you better not go too far!"
Archie can't take it anymore.
He was even ready to kneel.
But Ethan didn't even think too much about him coming here to apologize, so there was no point in kneeling.
"Tell your father to come here and apologize. Otherwise, you will have to bear all the consequences."
Ethan is not polite about it. "Still standing there? We're done eating and we're not leaving anything for the dog!"
