Chapter 26
Tracy immediately took the initiative to greet the wealthy foreign businessman in Ucronian, saying, “Hi, I’m Will’s girlfriend. Nice to meet you.”
She felt that William wouldn’t reveal her for the sake of pride, and he wouldn’t introduce Vanessa in front of the foreign
businessman.
After all, no one wanted to let it be known that their wife couldn’t even speak basic Ucronian. Who could afford to be embarrassed?
It should have been obvious to William that she was the most suitable person to be his wife.
Regardless of family background or personal ability, Vanessa could never catch up to her no matter how.
Not to mention, they once had been in a relationship for six years.
Unexpectedly, William said to the foreign businessman in fluent Ucronian, “Mr. Mike, when did you come to Lantric City? Why didn’t you inform me so I could arrange for someone to meet you at the airport? Let me introduce you. This is my wife, Vanessa.”
“Your wife? Have you gotten married? When did that happen?” Mike’s blue eyes widened in shock. He gave Vanessa a polite. look and complimented her, saying, “Wow, Will, your wife is beautiful,”
Mike gave Tracy another weird look. “Girlfriend?”
Tracy’s face was full of embarrassment.
She cursed deep down, “William, you’re being a bully!”
Vanessa gracefully said in fluent Ucronian, “Yes, Ms. Yost is our female friend.”
She excelled in Ucronian in junior high school. When she took the examination when applying for college, her Ucronian scored a full mark.
In college, she fell in love with Jackson. After learning that Jackson was from a wealthy family, she practiced speaking hard and took courses in Stalenish and Thenolish so she wouldn’t hold him back. To practice, she watched movies with original soundtracks. She was good at computers and often was able to find resources overseas.
“Ah, I know. It’s a female friend. It scared me, haha.” Mike was all smiles.
“Yeah, we’re all good friends.” Tracy forced a smile.
She was so embarrassed and wished the ground could swallow her. She had never been so ashamed before.
If not for the fact that she still had a plan, she would have fled immediately.
She had never thought that Vanessa would be so good at Ucronian. She snorted inwardly.
William was stunned and impressed when he heard Vanessa speak Ucronian.
He had always thought that Vanessa came from an ordinary background. Even if she knew Ucronian, she should only have been limited to doing questions and could not fluidly speak it.
However, he did not expect that not only did she appear graceful at such an occasion, but she was also so fluent in Ucronian. If not for her distinctive face, just by listening to her voice, people would have mistaken her for a native from Ucron.
She really was so much better than he expected, giving him the feeling of finding a treasure.
She was like a very informative book. With each turn of the page, he was amazed by the words inside.
He reached for Vanessa’s hand and held it tightly, feeling a bit of heat all over his body. Passionate images began to appear in
his mind.
“Will, I’m willing to drop half a percent on that project we talked about last month. Can you concede a little more?” Mike asked.
At that time, William went to Mensau to talk to Mike about the project as the president of Hawk Group. Mike wanted to suppress the price, so the matter was put on hold.
Everyone was grabbing the Wolsher market nowadays, and Mike was naturally not an exception. He came to Wolsher a week ago and had already privately approached the heads of many large groups.
He found out that those people in charge were either short–sighted or asked for a high price. He really couldn’t find anyone who was broadminded and forward–thinking like William.
“Well, I’ll give in half a percent,” William said.
“But…” Mike looked a little bit unwilling
William was only willing to give in half a percent, so there was very little money Mike could make.

Mr. Mike, we both have to make money, right?” William asked. “The goal of our cooperation is to make the project bigger and stronger, not the immediate profit.”
“But after this project is done in three years, you can have a profit of 3 billion dollars, while I only have I billion. Mike was a bit reluctant.
He could only make one–third of William’s profit when this project was done cooperatively.
Hearing the words “3 billion dollars,” Tracy was stunned, even though she was from a wealthy family and had seen a lot of big deals since her childhood. After all, 3 billion dollars was quite a lot of money.
Such a profit would be considered unbelievable for any group.
She had been in love with William for six years, and she had always known that William was very capable.
But then again, she felt that the platform was more important.
William would naturally be able to demonstrate his talent if he could successfully inherit Hawk Group. On the contrary, without the company, he would never be able to utilize his abilities, no matter how capable he was.
That was why previously she chose to leave the country and continue to wait and sec.
Seeing that William didn’t give in. Tracy was afraid of missing out on the project and immediately whispered to William. “William, the profit is very substantial now. It’s okay to give in a little bit more.”
Her grandmother said that William had already taken the southern suburb plots and a big overseas project. If he could take this project, his position as the heir of Hawk Group apparent would be even more unshakable.
However, William completely ignored Tracy and said to Mike, “It’s true that my profit is higher, but I’ll put in more effort as well. You can take your time to think about the project. I’ll give you a reception tomorrow. We have a saying in Wolsher that benevolence comes first and business second. You are my guest here, and I’ll show you around for the whole day tomorrow. I have other things to do, so I’ll excuse myself. I’ll call you tomorrow.”
The passionate images that had filled his mind earlier were more clear now.
He realized that he might have eaten something.
The business matter could be discussed later. The first thing he had to do was to get out of there right away.
“Okay, Will, see you tomorrow. We’ll talk more about it tomorrow,” Mike said politely.
“Let’s go home,” William said against Vanessa’s car.
“Okay.” Vanessa felt the heat in her ear and thought something was wrong with William.
Assuming he was intoxicated, she immediately reached out to support him.
“Are you drunk? Then go upstairs and take a rest. Seasion Hotel’s ginger tea is very effective. You’ll feel much better after drinking it. Tracy immediately said when she saw William was leaving. She then hurriedly said to Vanessa, “You help him to his room, and I will ask the waiter to send the ginger tea.”
“We’re going home,” William insisted.
“Okay.” Vanessa immediately helped William walk outside.
William felt that he kept losing control of himself more and more. Especially when he heard Vanessa’s voice and felt the warm scent of her body, he wanted to pounce on her immediately.
Afraid that he wouldn’t be able to control himself to use force on her later. William tried his best to stay calm and fished out his cell phone to call Keith. “Where are you? Are you far away from Seasion Hotel?”
“Not far. About two miles. I’m meeting some friends to go out for a motorcycle ride,” Keith said briskly over the phone.
“Bring silver needles to Seasion Hotel,” William said.
“Huh? What’s up? I’ll be right there.” Keith hurriedly hung up the phone.
William said to Vanessa, “Help me upstairs.”
“Okay.” Seeing that William was getting even more uncomfortable, Vanessa immediately helped William in the direction of
the elevator.
A hint of light flashed across Tracy’s eyes. She immediately winked at Miley, who wasn’t far away.
