Chapter 253 253: Everything is staged

"I still can't believe Dad knew it all along and chose to ignore it. Why?" Eveline couldn't accept what had transpired inside. She continues to complain about her father's carelessness, unsure whether she should be pleased or saddened by it.

Gabriel couldn't help but chuckle, but when she flashed him a frown, his smile froze and he coughed, turning elsewhere.

Eveline wanted to strike this man, but she couldn't since she couldn't send him to work with a swollen lip.

Eveline took a deep breath, cleared her mind, and sighed for the sixth time only to get interrupted by Gabriel's phone ring, causing her eyes to open to gaze at him.

Gabriel's expression turned serious when he answered Leon's call.

"Yes, Leon," he replied, his brow furrowing with each word he heard from his aide on the other end.

"Great. Keep the paper ready. We'll get it signed this evening," he added, ending the call.

"What happened?" Eveline asked, attracting Gabriel's attention to her.

"A meeting with the chairman of the Willow Group has been scheduled for the evening. They will be flying here this afternoon and are looking for a positive collaboration with Winston Group," Gabriel revealed, surprising Eveline.

He only told her yesterday about Willow's connection to the underworld and how to get them on board, so he decided to accept one of their proposals as a means of establishing contact with them. And now he was alerting her of the ideal conclusion, as they had agreed to meet with him for the signing process.
