Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 96

Joel did not ask me what my secret was. I handed my bank card and my ID to him and said, "I may have to trouble you to help me with these things. The one million and four hundred thousand bucks in it are the registered capital I'd like to use, and I... temporarily want to involve in the industries of advertising."

"Well, advertising company it is." Chen took away the ID from my hand and said in a gentle voice, "I will help you do it, and I will also help you to choose the site. You can supervise the decoration of the office personally at that time."

Joel tilted his head and thought for a moment. Then he asked, "How about getting an office next to the head office of the Shears Group? There are many empty floors."

"Benjamin knows that we have a good relationship, but he won't suspect that you are my brother. So I guess it won't be a problem to get an office there." I held the cup and paused for a while before continuing, "I'm just worried that this whole thing is gonna end up neither fish nor fowl."

"Why?"Joel said confidently, "I got you. When your company is established, all the advertisements of the Shears Group will be handed over to you."

I didn't expect that things would be this easy.

I'd already even got my first client.

Joel confusedly asked, "Since you're so close to Benjamin, why did you hide your identity as a Shears? I still remember the scene of you crying your heart out that night. If I'm right, he was the one who hurt you the most."

That day, Benjamin asked me to sign the divorce agreement, and the only thing that saved my lonely heart that night was Joel.

Joel was a translucent man. He knew about the relationship between Benjamin and me, as well as all the trouble we had with each other.

I sighed, "I always feel that there are many twists and turns in my life yet to come, and I've got the Shears family behind me. I don't wanna let others know about me being a Shears, not until I am strong and independent enough.

Joel was stunned and suddenly asked, "Em, what do you mean?"

"I have a marriage, a husband, and a child." Seeing that he was calm, I said, "You should have investigated me. I gave birth to a child five years ago, but because of various reasons, coupled with the betrayal of my child's father, I have been away from him for five years."

I said sadly, "I may have a family, but I know very well that I can't keep him. I can tell what a man is like through a few simple words but not Benjamin. He's full of lies and sweet words! Joe, he had abandoned me again and again. It feels like he was cheating. No matter how sincere he was when he admitted to his mistake, he will eventually..."

He would eventually do it again.

Although now Benjamin was with me, in the long future, he might once again give up on me because of something, and I could no longer withstand his betrayal and departure.

Joel asked, "In this case, why did you choose to forgive him?"

Why? I looked down at my raised stomach and said in a sad voice, "He admitted his mistake and explained everything to me one by one, although... there is no way to erase the harm he has already done to me, Joe, I want to give him another chance, another chance for the child. This time, I don't want to wait for him to abandon me again."

"So you want to start your own company?" Joel paused and said with a clear tone, "I know that the Dunn family discriminates against you, and I also know that even if you come back to the Shears family, they will not change their opinion of you. So what you can do is to improve your own ability so that the Dunn family can't ignore you."

Benjamin said that the Dunn family needed a woman who could help to control the overall situation for him, but I obviously didn't meet those criteria.

Therefore, no matter how well- matched Benjamin might think he could make me, the Dunn family would never change their view of me.

Unless I built something of my own.

Something of my own that would give me so much strength that no one would ever dare to bully!

Just like how Laurelie was.

The most important thing for a woman was to be self-reliant!

Even if one day her man left quietly, she would maintain her dignity and pride and swear to everyone that she could only live better than she did when she was with the man!

I smiled helplessly and said, "Even if one day I am abandoned by him, I just want to be happy."

At least I wouldn't be left alone with my tears and sorrow like I was when abandoned by Steve.

Joel said with a rare smile, "As long as you are willing to do it, I will fully support you. And I saw you with the youngest daughter of the Weier family in the hospital that day. Are you familiar with her?"

He meant Laurelie.

I pursed my lips and explained, "She is my colleague."

"The Weier family is a powerful family in City B. Although its financial resources are as good as the Dunn family's, the Weier family is more politically powerful. So... you know what I mean."

Joel wanted me to build a good relationship with Laurelie.

According to Bob, the grandfather of Laurelie was a general, her father was a major general, her uncle was a colonel, and her brother was a major.

Also, the grandfather of Laurelie's mother was an old general.

Even she herself was once enlisted.

Her family was all involved in the military, which no doubt gave them a solid political foundation.

I shook my head and said, "Let nature take its course. I don't want to take advantage of anyone. I just want to do what's right especially when it comes to my friends."

Joel nodded and explained, "The eldest daughter of the Weier family has gotten married. The youngest son is in the army and has no heart for the business, so it is very likely that Laurelie is the future successor of the Weier family! I'm telling you this not because I want you to get close to her for her power. I'm just giving you a reminder and telling you about the big shots around you."

I didn't want to talk about her anymore so I left after talking about some other things. Before I left, I reminded him, "Go and see September when you have time. The child's got her quite some inconvenience."

I drove Benjamin's car back to my own home. After I got home, I went to sleep because I was too tired to eat.

After a while, I felt itchy on my face. I opened my eyes and looked at the man who was teasing me with my hair. I was a little speechless.
