Chapter 144: Broken Promise

Everyone was stunned by Lawrence’s words.

They looked at him in confusion.

Lawrence walked over to Sandra, “Did I do great with the task you gave me?”

Everyone was shocked.

Why did it feel like he was trying to gain Sandra’s approval?

Sandra said, “I gave him an eight.”

Lawrence was satisfied. “Not bad at all! Mason, you didn’t embarrass me this time.”

Mason’s face turned slightly red as he lowered his head.

Everyone: “!!!”

“Did Lawrence guide Mason?”

“That’s why he suddenly made such great progress!”

“But what is the relationship between Lawrence and Sandra?”

It seems like Lawrence is trying to curry favor with Sandra.”

Lawrence said, “Sandra, I completed the task, so my painting…”

“I’ll have someone bring it to you later.”

Lawrence immediately became happy.

“I really hit the jackpot. Not only do I have a good disciple, but I also get a priceless painting.”

Sandra said, “It’s just a casual drawing.”

“But it’s still precious.”

The crowd continued to discussed.

“A painting?”

“Does Sandra have a collection of paintings?”

“It seems like Sandra asked Lawrence to be Mason’s teacher.”

“I remember that the Cooper Group and Mason were not getting along. But later, Mason signed contracts with Sandra.”

“Mason is so lucky.”

These words naturally reached Vincent’s ears.

Alisha, who was by his side, became angry.

“You are her brother, how can she benefit your enemy?”

Emily’s eyes welled up with tears.

It must be that Sandra still can’t forgive me for stealing her life. I’ll go apologize to her. I must get Lawrence’s help for you, Vincent.”

Alisha looked at her proactive approach and smiled mockingly.

“Why not just leave the Hill, Emily?”

Tears instantly fell from Emily’s eyes.

“I was being greedy for my brothers. I couldn’t bear to leave them.”

Seeing her so heartbroken, Vincent’s heart softened.

“Alright, Emily, this has nothing to do with you.”

Sandra intentionally didn’t help him. He accepted that.

After all, he had no intention of treating her as his sister

“Alisha, apologize to Emily.”

Alisha thought she had misheard.

Vincent furrowed his brows. “Your words were too hurtful. You need to apologize to Emily.”

Alisha looked at him as if he was fool. “I said it for you!”

It took quite a while for her to suppress her anger.

Time passed, and it seemed like an eternity.

Alisha couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

“I know why Sandra doesn’t want to recommend Lawrence to you now.”

Although Vincent appeared indifferent, it pissed him off.

“Shut up!”

He suddenly raised his voice.

The people around turned to look.

Unable to bear the humiliation, Alisha muttered “lunatic” and walked away.

Sandra wasn’t interested in these dramas because her phone kept ringing.

She had been too busy earlier and missed the calls.

They were all from her assistant, Charles.

Charles had also sent many messages.

“We are at a disadvantage.”

“They have already started attacking our firewall.”

“Hurry up.”

“We can’t hold our ground anymore.”

“You are our last hope!”

Sandra had wasted a lot of time just now.

It was too late.

“Madam, is there something wrong?”

Joey noticed her expression wasn’t right.

Sandra said, “Take me to the forum.”

The technology forum was a big event for the company right now.

They were battling against top experts from all over the world, and it was being livestreamed.

Before coming here, Joey had taken a look and saw that the Cooper was already at a disadvantage.

“Madam, I think it’s better not to go.”

If she went and lost, Debra would definitely seize the opportunity to criticize her.

If Sandra didn’t go, Debra wouldn’t have chances.

After all, this was just a forum. As Deputy Director, Sandra could choose not to attend.

While packing her things, Sandra said, “I promised them before, and if I don’t go, I would be breaking my word. I’ve always hated people who don’t keep their promises.”

Wesley watched her, a hint of darkness flashing in his eyes.

Suddenly, he remembered when that woman had sent him out of the danger zone, he promised he would come back.

The woman didn’t say much, just told him to leave quickly.

At that time, he truly intended to fulfill his promise.

But after returning to the country, many things happened, and he became a vegetable.

Three years were wasted.

Would she still remember his words?

Would she have been waiting all this time because of what he said?

“Mr. Cooper?”

Joey realized Wesley hadn’t moved.

Wesley was interrupted from his reverie and recovered his senses.

He walked away with Sandra.

Vincent watched their departure, hands clenching.
