Chapter 100

Herman looked a bit chilly, furrowing his brows at the sight of Collin Witt entering the room,

“Why are you here?” Herman asked, his voice deep.

“Just passing by and thought Id see what you’re up to. Haven’t seen you about recently,” said Collin

nonchalantly. He let Herman’s secretary pour him a coffee, then made himself comfortable on the sofa.

“Heard you gave Blake a beating yesterday? You haven’t thrown a punch in years, quite strange”

“Just flexing my muscles a bit, Herman smirked. Just because i havent thrown any punches in years

doesnt mean I ve forgotten how to fight”

What could possibly make you use your fists? Heard it was over a girl?” Collin asked curiously

Herman corrected him casually “She’s my wife”

“Wife?” Collin choked on his coffee, coughing uncontrollably. “Herman, are you joking? When did you

get married?”

Herman pulled out a marriage certificate from his drawer and placed it on the table. “Last month.”

Collin put down his coffee cup and hurriedly inspected the marriage certificate.

He saw a photo of Herman with a very beautiful woman. The document was definitely real, no doubt

about it

“Herman you got mamed and didn’t even invite me for a drink Collin exclaimed. Thats heartless”

invite you when we have the wedding said Herman stowing away the certificate like a precious gem,

locking it back in the drawer

Collin pinched himself; it hurt, so he wasn’t dreaming

“I thought at most youd be dating someone, didn’t think youd go and get married,” said Collin. “Tonight

you must bring your wife to meet me You’ve kept this a big secret.”

“Not tonight, Herman said “We can catch up later”

With the Ledford family matters unresolved and Anastasia now fired, he wasn’t in the mood to

introduce her to Collin tonight

“Because of the Ledford family thing?” Collin asked, sitting down. “You’ve cost Ledford Corporation

billions. Kenny must be crying”

“He should be,” Herman replied, his voice steady, his index finger tapping against the table “The crisis

at Ledford Corporation is snowballing. It’s only going to get worse”

“Are you going to completely destroy them?” Collin asked, a hint of fear in his voice.

I’ve given them a chance to survive, Herman smirked Kenny will probably have to sell Ledford Estate

Management to keep his head above water.” Collin said, “The market opened this morning with Ledford

Corporation’s stocks nosediving, Selling it now wouldn’t do much good”

-“He has no other choice, Herman said casually, sipping his coffee. “Ledford Estate Management is the

only valuable asset left. Ledford Corporations

debt to the bank has to be cleared this year

Collin watched Herman in thought for a moment, then voiced his suspicion, Something seems off. Did

you have your eye on Ledford Estate Management from the start?”

“Yes,” replied Herman calmly.

Collin fell silent

“Having lost billions to you and now with the possibility of you buying Ledford Estate Management for a

song, Kenny might just faint,” Colith teased. “You’ve had a good run in both love and business. Your

wife must be your lucky charm.”

Hermanremained silent, memories of the lovely morning with Anastasia flashing in his mind. He

yearned to be a king with nothing to do, living a leisurely life with his queen.

Collin seemed to remember something and laughed, Herman, do you remember the night I left for

abroad a few years ago? We all went to the club for a drink to send me off”

“I vaguely remember Herman said

Collin said, “That night, we planned to get you drunk and have you do something silly, but in the end,

we lost you. We thought you had some sort of allness. By the time we found you, your clothes were

gone. Twe held onto this memory for years, just to ask you, did you meet a hot chick that night?”

Herman frowned, it was a few years ago, and his memory was fuzzy.

He was indeed drunk that night and had almost no memory of it, only that he had been having an

ambiguous dream since.

“I was drunk. I don’t remember,” said Herman seriously.

1 bet you met a hot chick, Collin said provocatively. “I saw the scratch marks on your neck. Definitely

left by a woman.”
