Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 356

Just when Sergio was letting his imagination run wild, Yadriel spoke again. "Sergio, do you know who Lilian Garver is?"

"Lilian Garver?" Sergio frowned as he thought, then a smile was plastered on his face. "Is that the woman who has a great influence in the international finance industry, and even the political circles in the Middle East?"

Yadriel's eyes darted around as he listened. A bright light flashed in the depth of his gaze.

"Yes, that's her. She is now over 70 years old. She has no children and is all alone. However, as far as I know, she was a famous star when she was young, and she was from A City. She married a foreigner, who was a very well-known politician, and gave birth to a daughter. However, for some reason they got a divorce. Since then, she fully dedicated her life to politics. She never remarried again. This woman is very skillful. She has made a name for herself in international politics, and possessed the veto power in global meetings. Therefore, she has always been the 'chess piece' that foreign affairs would fight for all over the country. Some time ago, there were news about her wanting to return to A City to search for her daughter. Of course, this is just a rumor. People like her would not show their faces to the outside world. However, yesterday I received a message from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that she is, in fact, going back to A City soon, and I'm guessing it is because of her daughter," Yadriel said mysteriously.

It was normal for a person to search for their children when they reached the later stages in life. Besides, no matter how strong of a person she was, she was just a woman. However, considering that such a long time had passed, to look for someone so surreptitiously would not be an easy task.

Yadriel's explanation was crystal clear. Every word he spoke seemed to carry a deep meaning.

Sergio, however, did not understand. Did Yadriel want to win this woman over?

The next year, they would be competing for the CEO position. Since Madam Lilian was world-famous, it would definitely be beneficial to win her over, but what did it have to do with her daughter? Sergio pondered.

Moreover, if he intended to win her over, people at the national level would be involved too, for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was no freeloader. He would not stand a chance to do so. Besides, even if he wanted to do something, Madam Lilian might not spare him a chance at all.

According to his understanding of Yadriel, he would not do anything that he did not have confidence in. As for her daughter's matters, it was simply just gossip. He, as the deputy prime minister, was enquiring about other people's daughter. It seemed a bit ridiculous. Not to mention, he did not put much thought into affairs relating to blood relations.

That day, however, his interest was limitless. What was the reason for his interest in this woman, as well as the confidence in winning her over?

Just as he was still in a state of confusion, he heard Yadriel ask mysteriously, "Sergio, do you want to know who her daughter is?"

"Who? This has nothing to do with the Xanthe family, I reckon?" Sergio leaned back on the sofa and asked calmly, not showing much interest.

After all, they were now establishing themselves in the military. They were also one of the well-known families in Capital City. Sergio thought, "Dad will not depend on this woman to succeed, because if they can't win her over, the same applies to the competitors."

She was notorious for being unapproachable.

Yadriel glanced at Sergio who had an indifferent expression on his face. Utterly displeased with his

son's sensitivity to politics, his face darkened.

"Sergio, with Lilian's wealth and fame, would be a cinch to destroy a business company like the Richards Group. However, it is also easy peasy to help the Richards Group rise to international prominence. Even though Richards Group is now on the global wealth list, it is just the very first step. The risk of competition is very high. Make one wrong move and you will fall to rock bottom. Also, Whalen Group is falling behind after they have lost Jonas, the backstage supporter. Nevertheless, another very influential company is rising rapidly. In such a fiercely competitive year, if people want their products to stabilize in the global market, it will be very difficult without some connections overseas. You must keep in mind that the market is a cutthroat battlefield and it is ever-changing." Yadriel explained patiently.

Sergio nodded. To be honest, he had never seen a brand survive for many decades. The Richards Group had a century- long history, which was already a miracle. Could they stay strong? Most importantly, could they become even better? Still, he didn't understand why Yadriel would give him such a detailed explanation. Were they going to rely on Madam Lilian to deal with Hansen?

At the end of the day, they were not related at all. They belonged in the military and political circles, while Hansen was in the business world, of course, when the petrochemical factory was not taken into account.

"Dad, you're absolutely right, but it seems to have nothing much to do with us." He rested his arm on the back of the sofa, still relaxed.

"Sergio, I didn't expect your sensitivity in politics to be so low. You really disappoint me," Yadriel said very unhappily. "If we can win over such a woman." He continued, "Let's first put aside the thought of whether she is a factor for me to become a CEO, and just think about how well our ammunition business will be with one good word from her. We can have it turned into a legal business. Do you know the pros and cons in this?"

Yadriel pulled the slide of the gun back and aimed at a direction outside the window. Then, he lowered the gun down again, and spinned it in his hand, making 'whoosh' sounds.

After listening, Sergio seemed to be interested. "Who is her daughter?" He sat up straight and asked jokingly, "Don't tell me it's Jenna?"
