Secrets Of The Neglected Wife

“Is it the one from Vrining?” Nova asked carefully.

Brook gave a confirming nod.

“His visit to Ontdale is quite sudden, but it’s good news for us. At the very least, we’ll have a chance to win over an influential figure.”

Even if the deal didn’t materialize, creating a positive connection would still be a win. There might be many opportunities for cooperation in the future.

Hoyt rose from his seat to make a toast to Brook.

“Thank you, Dad. I promise to give it my all!”

Brook acknowledged his toast with a slight nod.

“Take it easy. This project is just for practice. Of course, it would be ideal if you could close the deal. But it’s fine if you can’t. Your main goal should be to build a strong rapport with Fabian, the controlling shareholder of Aröme Tower. Having a good relationship with him will serve us well in the future. When Lloyd Group expands into Vrining, his support will be invaluable.”

Brook understood perfectly well that Fabian’s visit to Ontdale would likely cause quite a stir. After all, it would draw not just their competitors but also countless others in their circle, all vying for the lucrative investment opportunity. This made it an ideal chance for Hoyt to gain practical experience. Brook figured that, despite Hoyt’s occasional foolishness, he was unlikely to offend anyone during the process.

With this thought, Brook rose from his seat, leaning on his cane.

“I have matters to attend to at the company. Don’t wait up for me.”

“Alright,” Hoyt responded dutifully.

“Dad, take care and don’t overwork yourself.”

As soon as Brook left, Hoyt could barely contain his excitement. He turned to Nova and exclaimed,

“Mom, did you hear that? Dad gave me the investment project, and it’s…”

“About winning over a big shot!” Hoyt had intended to bask in Nova’s approval. But as he turned to her, he froze, because he found that her expression had turned icy.

“Have you really not noticed anything wrong?” Nova asked, her eyes narrowing sharply. “Use your brain and think carefully. Why would Brook assign you such an impossible task?”

Hoyt hesitated. After a short pause, he ventured cautiously, “Because… I’m capable?”

The words barely left his lips before Nova’s face darkened further.

“I can’t believe you actually said that,” she snapped, her voice dripping with disbelief.

The moment the words left her mouth, Nova raised her hand without hesitation.

“It seems you haven’t given things much thought over these past few days.”
