Grandma Wilson fell silent, which meant she had compromised. Matteo asked, “Have you eaten?”

Grandma Wilson hung up immediately.

Matteo looked at the phone and chuckled softly.

Isabella, curious, looked over and asked, “What happened?”

Matteo calmly put his phone down. “Your great–grandmother is angry.”

“Ah? Did you make great–grandmother angry?” Isabella asked.

“Mm.”

“Are you going to make up with her?”

“Not now. We’ll talk later.”

“Okay…”

When they got back to the company, Johnny didn’t ask about the parent–child event. He simply said, “You’re back? Have you eaten?”

Freya replied, “Not yet.”

“Come with me, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Freya smiled. “Alright.”

At the restaurant, they ran into Mr. Lee from Wilson Corporation, who was there with his family.

Mr. Lee let his family go ahead into the private room and then said to Johnny, “I originally thought we might have another chance to cooperate, but

now I’m not so sure…”

Johnny smiled faintly, “I heard your new project is quite impressive?”

“Yes, it’s great. It was personally decided by President Wilson, so there shouldn’t be any mistakes.”

“Oh.” Johnny responded coolly and then asked, “I heard the parts involving the Brown and Green families are pretty important. Did anyone in your company object?”

“Well, there are some objections, but it won’t have a big impact.” Mr. Lee replied. “When a company has a good project, the other shareholders naturally want to assign their people.

But President Wilson rarely gets directly involved in these things. It would be unreasonable to object just because President Wilson has chosen his people for a part of the project.

Moreover, the Brown and Green families are capable and follow the rules, so overall the impact is minimal.”

Johnny remained silent.

He didn’t want to listen anymore and said, “Alright, I won’t keep you from your family. We’ll catch up next time.”

“Good, good,” Mr. Lee said, eager to end the conversation.

Once Mr. Lee left, Johnny said to Freya, “Let’s go in.”

“Mm.”

Chapter 182

After dinner, they returned to the company and were soon informed that Rex was waiting for them.

Troya and Johnny had no intention of meeting him.

Rex didn’t leave, and by the evening, when Freya was leaving for the parking lot, he called out to her. “Miss Miller.”

Freya turned around, her tone cold. “Mr. Hardin, is there something?”

Rex looked at her. “Let’s talk.”

But Freya replied, “Talk, or reprimand me?”

Rex paused, then said, “I’m serious. I hope you can put aside personal grievances and focus on work. Don’t let personal issues cloud your judgment and harm your company’s interests,”

Treya found this quite enlightening.

She said, “I thought I should be saying that to you, Mr. Hardin,”

It was clear that Rex, because of Raven, had brought personal emotions into their business discussions.

Yet, in his mind, it was her who was misusing power and being unreasonable.

Thinking this, she stopped paying attention to him, got into the car, and drove off.

Rex’s face darkened.

At that moment, his phone rang.

After answering, he also got into his car and left.

Half an hour later, when he entered the private room, Yves and Jimmy were already there.

Seeing his foul mood, Yves asked, “What’s wrong? Didn’t reach an agreement?”

In the past few days, Rex had visited Cole two or three times. Johnny had never agreed to meet him.

It was all about tying up loose ends.

Finally, Rex turned to talk to Freya.

Thinking about her completely ignoring him, Rex shook his head.

“Things didn’t work out with Johnny, and it’s the same with Miss Miller. So, it seems the Cole project really is out of our reach…”

Seeing Rex’s troubled expression, Yves said, “If we can’t get it, we can’t. There are plenty of other profitable projects in the world, not just Cole.”

Rex shook his head. “I’ve really studied the Cole project, and I’m quite interested.”
