Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Julian’s wedding was three days away. All the noble families in Jadeborough received Julian and Annalise’s wedding

invitations. It was worthy of the Parks family’s reputation, the number one in Jadeborough. The invitations were

exquisitely crafted with blue silk. It was said that each invitation cost more than 400 dollars to make. Julian’s

wedding would be held on the cruise ship. For safety reasons, Julian’s staff would register the families who indicated

their attendance for the wedding. Those who were sent by the families to attend the wedding would have to RSVP

again to obtain the cruise invitation. When they boarded the cruise ship, Julian’s staff would check their cruise

invitation. If an ordinary person told the guests they had to send their RSVP again to get another invitation, many

people would probably curse. Why would they want to attend this wedding? However, this was the Parks family. The

groom was Julian, the number one bachelor of Jadeborough, and the bride was Lee’s daughter, the person in

charge of Jadeborough’s number two company, the Xander Group. It was a grand wedding, the forging of a strong

alliance. Everyone was envious. They felt honored to receive an invitation. The cruise invitation letter was the same

as the wedding invitation. The craftsmanship was exquisite. A trend started catching on among the Jadeborough

circle. They asked each other about the wedding invitations. “Susie, did you get the invitation to Julian’s wedding?”

“Luther, I want to attend Julian’s wedding. Can you help me get an invitation? I’ll go with you. You can say that I’m

your distant cousin.” Others were equally enthusiastic. Alexander also kept himself busy during this period. While

Julian was busy with the wedding, he and Timothy expanded their client base to boost their sales. That day, Jared

took the initiative to ask him out. Jared said that he had a business to discuss with him. Everyone knew that the

current Blake Corporation had changed drastically. However, although Jared was at the end of his rope, he was still

more experienced. He must still have many projects in his hands. Alexander took the afternoon off to meet Jared.

At the clubhouse… Jared arrived ahead of Alexander. Upon seeing Alexander, Jared stood up enthusiastically to

greet him. He took the initiative to shake Alexander’s hands. “Hello, Mr. Parks. Please sit down.” “Hello, Mr. Blake,”

Alexander greeted him politely. After Jared asked Alexander what he wanted to drink, he asked the waiter to

prepare it. Then, the two of them began to talk about the project. Jared said that he now had two clothing

companies, more than 300 apparel stores, and more than ten social media live-streaming accounts with millions of

fans. They were his affiliate marketing partners. He could use them to work with Alexander. “Thank you, Mr. Blake. I

wonder what kind of collaboration you have in mind.” Alexander was very interested in the social media accounts

with millions of fans. “This is the outline of the agreement. Take a look. We can talk about the details later,” Jared

said. “Alright.” Alexander accepted the agreement. He looked at the agreement very quickly and finished scanning

it in a short while. He noticed something. Jared’s offer was too generous. He looked up at Jared and said in surprise,

“Mr. Blake, with your resources, you don’t have to give me such a good offer.” Jared smiled. He said, “Isn’t that

because I sincerely want to be friends with you?” “Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Mr. Blake,” Alexander

said sincerely. “Of course. I hope to be your friend and business partner too, Mr. Blake. Therefore, for our long-term

cooperation, we can change these terms. Here, we can raise the ratio to 30%, which is almost the market price.”

“Alright. We’ll do as you say, Alexander,” Jared said with a smile. “I’ll get someone to rectify the agreement and

send it over.” As he spoke, he called his assistant to change the ratio in the agreement and send it over. After

hanging up the phone, he politely asked Alexander, “Alexander, before signing the agreement, why don’t we order

some dishes and have a meal first?” His form of address had changed from Mr. Parks to Alexander. “Okay,”

Alexander replied with a smile. They had to eat no matter what. It was a suitable opportunity for them to eat, chat,

and discuss the next plan. The main thing was to market the products through those social media accounts. In

those days, live-streaming was a very effective way to sell goods. Jared pressed the service bell, and the waiter

immediately came over politely. Once Jared said he wanted to order some dishes, the waiter immediately brought

the menu to him. Jared politely asked what Alexander felt like having and if he had any dietary restrictions.

Alexander said that he had none and he could eat anything. Jared smiled. “Alright. I’ll order some side dishes, then.”

Although Jared said he would pick some side dishes, everything he ordered was a main course. It was just the two

of them, but he ordered eight dishes, all of which were the restaurant’s signature dishes. After he finished ordering,

the two of them chatted. Jared refilled Alexander’s teacup and took the initiative to talk about the Blake family’s

situation. Jared said, “Many people would envy us who came from wealthy families. But we’re the only ones who

understand our troubles. “We could be a happy family. However, because of the family business and its many

industries, we started fighting against one another. “I’m sure you’ve heard about it, Alexander. My mother gave all

of her shares to my son, Preston. She used to hold 60% of the company’s shares. “I don’t care about having those

shares. After all, I’m already in my fifties. To put it bluntly, I’ll retire in a few years. “However, it was a little

unreasonable for her not to leave any shares for Adam. “They were both her grandsons. I could understand why

she might be a little biased. After all, Preston’s mother was no longer around. It was understandable for her to dote

on Preston. “But she did not give Adam anything. No matter what, Adam is her grandson.” He said this to relate to

Alexander and establish a common ground, thinking Alexander was in the same situation. As expected, when

Alexander heard Jared’s words, his expression became somber. He looked a little uncomfortable. His grip on the

teacup tightened as he replied, “Yeah.” Jared took in Alexander’s expression. He sighed again. He said, “As a father,

I want to be fair. After all, they’re both my flesh and blood. However, sometimes, I might be emotionally biased. I

know it’s unfair to Preston, but he shouldn’t blame me. He sees me as an enemy. Our relationship is indeed difficult

to improve.” “Yeah,” Alexander nodded again. What Jared described was very similar to Julian and Tony’s

relationship. Seeing that Alexander was still listening, Jared said, “I’m fighting for the Blake Corporation now. I’m

doing it for two reasons. Firstly, I blame the old lady for not treating me like her son. Secondly, I feel that she’s

being unfair to Adam. I want to fight for the Blake Corporation, and I’ll split it equally afterward. “By the way,

Alexander, I heard that your grandpa will decide his successor based on your and Julian’s performance this time?”

“Yeah,” Alexander said. It was not exactly a secret. Jared asked again, “Do you have an idea of how your grandpa

would distribute the company shares?” He deliberately pushed Alexander’s button to lay the foundation for the

crucial point he would say later. People would only be this ruthless when they were backed into a corner. Alexander

frowned briefly. He said, “Not yet.” Jared fanned the flames again. “Your grandpa is a fair person. He must be

distributing the shares reasonably.” But in his heart, he scoffed. Old Mr. Parks was the same as Madam Blake. They

were extremely biased. He mentioned these things on purpose, trying to provoke Alexander.
