Mr. Ford is Jealous

Chapter 680

He had initially thought Xavier would be a threat, but who would’ve guessed Xavier would take the initiative to

terminate the engagement.

Chris was relieved, but he couldn’t show it. “I don’t want to be involved with your matters. Just as long as you don’t

make Dad mad, I’m fine with it.”

Xavier smiled and said, “I’ll bring my girlfriend to the banquet and introduce her to all of you.”

Wendy sneered at the side when she heard this. “No wonder you want to cancel the engagement.”

Xavier merely smiled and put on his jacket. “I wish all of you could help me put in a few good words at the banquet

so Dad wouldn’t be too mad.”

After that, he turned to Weston and asked, “Can we have a word?”

“I’m not interested.”

“Don’t be like that.” Xavier put on a face, as if his words had hurt him. “You’re not interested in my matters but you

are in Guinevere’s, right?”

Weston didn’t say a word and shot him a glance before

standing up. “Let’s go.”

The two went to the back garden, leaving only Wendy and Chris in the living room.

Chris was buried deep in his thoughts.

Wendy glanced at him and said, “There’ll be a good show at the birthday banquet. If Xavier announces the

termination of his engagement with the Taylor family, Dad might beat him up.”

Warren was getting old and was no longer in the core power circle. Most of the decisions were left to the younger

generation. He would step down in a few years, but most shares were still in his hands. Now, only Xavier posed a

threat to Chris and Weston.

Without the Taylor family’s support, Xavier was nothing.

Chris pondered aloud, “Could it be that he really has no intention of fighting over the property?”

Wendy chuckled. “He’s your brother. How could you not know?”

Hearing the resentment in her tone, Chris returned to his senses, walked over to her with a smile, and took her into

his arms. “Are you angry again? I’ve been busy with work these days, and I don’t have time to accompany you.

After I finish this project, I’ll take you out, okay?”

In the back garden.

The gardeners were mowing the lawn.

Weston stopped in his tracks. “Just say it here.”

Xavier also stopped and stood behind him, looking like a wounded puppy. “Just because I said something about your

sweetheart last time, you still hate me until now? You already taught me a lesson, yet you still won’t forgive me?

Why are you so cold to me now?”

“Get straight to the point.”

Xavier sighed and said, “I know the project in the western suburbs should be almost finished now, right? And you

earned about this much money for the Cohen family…”

As he spoke, he stuck out a few fingers and waved them around.

Weston looked at him. “Your source of information is

quite good.”

“I would’ve lost so badly to you if I didn’t have all this information.” Xavier laughed. “No matter what, they are

outsiders after all. How about you and I work together?”

Weston sneered. With irony in his eyes, he asked, “What can you bring to the table?”

Xavier restrained his smile. “Earlier, I said I would cancel the engagement between Zeta and me, so you don’t have

to worry that I will fight with you to get the family property. As for the project in the western suburbs … you

and Guinevere aren’t married yet, so she’s still an outsider.”

“This is what you wanted to tell me?”

“Think about it.”

“There’s no need to consider.” Weston interrupted him.“ I already had a deal with the Cohen family. I’ll go with the

original plan.”

He wouldn’t go back against his promise to them.
