Chapter 70 Finding His Son a Stepmother
Conor Campbell, the only son of the Campbell family and the sole heir to the Campbell Group, was Jasper’s best friend.
He was 28 years old, not married, no girlfriend, no fiancée, but had two twin sons who were four years old.
According to William’s comment: they were his replicas, looking exactly like him, with no trace of their mother at all.
They had no mother, and Conor didn’t know who their mother was. It was when he woke up from a night’s sleep and there was an extra box at the door, with two newborn babies inside. After DNA testing, they were his sons.
Conor was only child of the Campbell family.
So, though the origins of the twins were unknown, the Campbell family still loved them. Conor hardly attended party in order to accompany them, let alone such closed competitions.
Helena was confused and went over to William.
On the same floor as her, he was at Room 2828.
She knocked on the door and called out “William” twice before pushing the door open and hearing William’s laughter.
“Come on, come on, give me money, give me money!”
“I told you, she certainly won’t be looking for you guys. She doesn’t even know you guys, so how could she possibly look for you first?”
“She would never call me until it was absolutely necessary. She is cold.”
“Come on, come on, give me money. I am possessed by the God of Gambling this year, I win whatever I bet.”
……
Helena was stunned: even if he participated in a competition, he could bet on it? How could his family have such an oddball like him?
All three of them were on the big bed.
Conor leaned lazily against the bed. JJ sat cross-legged. William sat cross-legged opposite her. There was a pile of cards between them, and a bit of cash.
“You guys …… this ……”
Helena didn’t know what to say.
William collected the cheque and happily jumped off the bed, wrapping an arm around her shoulders: “Let me introduce to you, this is my schoolmate Helena Yip, she is pretty and can drink a lot. She used to work at the Yip’s and is good at both jewellery design and management. The design work was designed by her, and Hugo sold it for 80 million.”
Conor narrowed his eyes and looked at his hand: if Jasper were to see this, what kind of expression he would have?
He picked up the phone.
Then he took a photo and send it to Jasper. He didn’t say anything, but just send photos.
William didn’t notice his bad intentions and pointed at him again and told Helena: “I told you about him before, he looks like a man, but he does all the bad things. His sons are already four years old and he still hasn’t remembered who his sons’ real mother are. He has two main purposes for coming to the competition this time: first, to find a new stepmother for his sons. Second, to take Jasper’s thirty billion investment.”
Helena got it in a nutshell.
The collaboration with the Yip family was a gimmick, the person Jasper really wanted to work with was Conor.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
The Campbell Group had medicine, land, entrepreneurship and media under its belt, but no jewellery. Angle Jewellery was a new company he had set up, and as soon as he could take first place, Jasper would enter the jewellery market with him and join forces to grab the biggest slice of the pie.
It was called joining force with power.
Jasper had received the photos and his face changed: William Sharp! And Helena, does she have principles or not? She said she liked handsome guy! What kind of handsome guy was William?
He was angry and jealous!
Conor put down his phone and got out of bed and walked towards her: “There are only five people in Angle Jewellery at the moment, and I am the big boss, William is the second shareholder. You are the design director. JJ is the trainee designer. There’s also a finance, she’s not in the competition.”
Helena gave a nod.
Conor stopped about a meter away from her: “I want to take first place in this competition, and I also want to take the opportunity to promote our company. When the competition is over, I want the elite to come to us, instead of us going to the trouble of digging up the elite.”
Helena understood.
Conor extended his right hand towards her, “Director Yip, happy cooperation.”
Helena shook his hand and then let go: “In the future, I would like to ask you for more guidance, Mr. Campbell.” However, before her hand was completely released, Conor suddenly tightened it, pulling her hand forward with a fierce grip.
She broke away from William’s hand and fell into his embrace.
She was caught off guard and tried to back away, holding him.
He pressed her waist and pressed her into himself, his lips grazing her ear, “Do you like such guidance, Director Yip? Would you be interested in meeting my two sons?”
Helena did not expect this.
Conor was Jasper’s friend, and since he was a friend, he could not bully his friend’s wife.
She became angry.
Her chest rose and fell violently. She slowly tightened her right hand, holding his right hand firmly in hers, her tone gritting her teeth, “It is just a company of five people, and Mr. Campbell, you want to make it into a mess?”
Conor was able to tolerate it at first.
But then the pain grew, so painful that it felt like a large iron vise was clamped on him and his bones were about to be crushed. He couldn’t bear it and his features twisted convulsively as he begged for mercy: “Let go! I’m teasing you! I’m teasing you!”
Who dared to touch Jasper’s woman?
He was deliberately teasing her to see how she was different from other women. In all the time that Jasper had been single, it was the first time that he had flipped out with the Bates family over a woman, and the first time that he had put such effort because of a woman.
“Let go.”
“You were the one who wouldn’t let go earlier.”
“Now I let go.”
“Now I don’t want to let go.”
“It hurts.”
“I don’t feel hurt!”
Conor broke into cold sweat of pain.
William was baffled.
JJ seemed stunned, dazed and with her hand over her mouth.
There was a knock on the door.
Annie stood at the door, she wanted to say something but saw Conor’s pale face, so she couldn’t help but ask, “Is Mr. Campbell not feeling well?”
Conor shook his head, “I am okay, It’s just, this room, it’s a bit hot!”
Annie: “????” Hot? It was 20 degrees.
William didn’t know what was going on, and even suspected that Conor was acting: how strong could Helena a woman hurt him? Still, he pulled at Helena.
Only then did Helena let go of her, her eyes warning: [If you dare to molest me again, I’ll chop off your hand and feed it to the dogs].
Conor didn’t dare anymore, clutching his injured right hand, and went into the bathroom in a feigned calmness. Then he hid behind the door and jumped and blowed his hand: Gosh! It hurts like hell! Is she a woman? How could she be so strong?
His right hand cannot be touched.
It could not be opened at all.
He could not move five fingers and could not straighten them yet.
The skin on the back of his hand had a very visible ring of bruising.
He took a picture of it and sent it to Jasper: [See, your tigress squeezed my hand out of shape.]
