Chapter 2157
---- Chapter 2157 As the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and the heir of the Lloyd family, Andrew stood
on a level far above Carlos. To Andrew, Carlos was nothing. "Cassie, you're all looking at Andrew with tinted
glasses," Chantelle said firmly. "It's only because you don't know him, and you don't understand him. Just wait.
You'll see for yourselves soon enough." She left it at that and returned to Andrew's side, peeling fruit for him
affectionately while ignoring Carlos’ dark scowl and Sofia's growing irritation.
Meanwhile, Patrick sat wearing his reading glasses, looking at the newspaper, and staying completely silent. He
appeared quite mysterious. Just then, Carlos' phone rang. Seeing the caller, he immediately put on a fawning
smile and answered obsequiously. "Mr. Carey, what an honor for you to callpersonally!" On the other end
was Elliot Carney, secretary to the president of the Somaeth Chamber of Commerce. "Mr. Watts, I'm calling to
inform you of something. Someone has offered to acquire your PrTrading Group for five billion.
As a ---- member of the Chamber, and for the sake of maximizing interests, your company will be sold. Do you
have any objections to that?" Carlos's eyes widened, then he nearly jumped in joy. "Five billion for my company?
No objections at all, Mr. Carney! Without the Chamber's support, | wouldn't be where | am today. Whatever the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChamber decides, | fully agree!" Elliot gave a dismissive grunt. "Then wait for the official notice. And
congratulations, Mr. Watts.
Who would've thought even you would get this lucky?" The line went dead, leaving Carlos grinning like a fool, his
mouth unable to close. Five billion for his company was like a fortune dropped from the sky. After all, he always
boasted to the Garcia family that his company was worth over a billion, when in truth it was barely worth 300
million and only held together because of his family's money. Without that, it would have collapsed long ago.
Cassandra immediately asked, "Honey, what did Mr. Carney say? You're smiling like a madman." Carlos
straightened his suit slowly, savoring the moment.
"Good news! Mom, Dad, today is the
day | rise for real." -—-- Sofia leaned
forward eagerly. "Carlos, what is it?
Tell us already." Carlos glanced at
Andrew with smug galiSfaction m

just called. He said my company has
a brilliant future, and a mysterious
investor is willing to pay five billion
dollars to acquire it. At first, | didn't
want to agree, but the offer was too
generous, so | finally accepted." He
embellished and added his own
flourishes to the story. Sofia gasped.
‘Five billion? That's no small number!
Carlos, you've really made something
of yourself. For a young man to
succeed so quickly, that's
impressive." Cassandra Seeley

toward Andrew. Holding back her
gloating, she said, "See? This is the
kind of strength it takes to be a
son-in-law in our family. Andrew,
maybe you're capable, but you're still
far from meeting our standards.
Compared to Carlos, the gap
between you two is enormous!" The
