American comics: The Savior Who Started with Vampires

Chapter 448 Wanting a Share of the Pie

Boom boom boom!

A slightly hurried knocking sound startled Harry Osborne, who was asleep on his office desk.

"Please come in!"

An elderly man with gray hair, wearing a suit, walked into Norman Osborne's office with a complicated expression.

"Young Master, Mr. Donald, the chairman of the TEPCO Group, has come to visit. He says he can save the Osborne Group."

"Donald? He is...?"

"He is a real estate tycoon who recently received investment from Yongye Real Estate and has become quite famous. I think you might be able to meet him."

The old man said in a deep voice, his gaze on Harry Osborne with a slightly complicated expression. That position used to belong to Norman, who, like a pillar of strength, allowed the Osborne Group to stand tall in this bustling metropolis.

He retired early due to his age, and now, summoned by Harry Osborne again, things have changed, and the Osborne Group has reached a precarious state.

As a former business elite, he actually looked down on the Tepo Group, after all, for the other jackals, that company wasn't even in the field of biotechnology.

Real estate companies... a vulgar and outdated industry, which Mike scoffed at, but now he had to consider another factor.

Behind this company stands Eternal Night, and Eternal Night is currently keeping an eye on them. If the Osborn Group can use this opportunity to re-enter Eternal Night's sights, then they may have a chance to turn things around.

Explain the pros and cons one by one.

Harry Osborne's expression was somber, because of the previous issues with the Osborne Group's board members, Aldridge had allowed the Osborne Group to face such a predicament.

Originally, Yongye Bio, as a major shareholder of the Osborn Group, should have helped Osborn overcome its difficulties.

Harry needs to find another way to make the Nightless Creatures see the value of the Osborn Corporation again.

……

In New York's Central Park, Lin Qi strolled on the lush green grass, his gaze sweeping across the distance not far ahead.

There was a group of people gathered there, with cameras and all sorts of equipment. If you got closer, you would find that they were actually filming a movie.

With a slight smile on his face, Lin Jue walked forward, but was stopped before he could get close. Fortunately, someone with sharp eyes recognized him.

"You damn bastard, are you blind? Let him through right now! Do you know who this person in front of you is? He's our company's largest shareholder!"

The man wearing the director's badge launched into a tirade of insults, only stopping when Lin Jue intervened, bowing and scraping as he ceased his vulgar language.

"Mr. Lin, you must be here to see Miss Monica, right? I'll stop filming right now!"

The man had a fawning look on his face. He was about to make a move when Lin Jue stopped him.

He glanced at Monica, who was walking the runway with a model's gait, exuding a captivating charm. She quickly noticed him too, but true to her professionalism, she went straight to Lin Jue after finishing her work, without even removing her makeup.

As that full, voluptuous body rushed into his arms, Lin Jue felt a sense of pleasure.

"Honey! You're finally back! I was so worried you'd forgotten me!"

Monica complained sweetly, completely ignoring the embarrassed director and staff beside her, and immediately gave them a kiss.

After a long while, Lin Jue drove the Eternal Night sports car away with Monica in tow.

……

"I'm so envious! No wonder the boss didn't dare touch Monica; she's already taken!"

One of the staff members watched the sports car speed away with envy. It's fair to say that Monica easily wins the hearts of European and American men, and ordinary people like them are no exception.

"That guy's position is quite extraordinary; in some ways, he has more authority than our boss, but he simply doesn't want to manage the company!"

"Wow...that's amazing, and he's just an Asian!"

"Asian? He's a real duke of Great Britain! The hereditary kind!"

"..."

……

A gentle breeze caressed his face, and Lin Jue was in an exceptionally good mood. He had originally planned to relax, and while he would certainly settle his score with the Ancient One, that couldn't take up his time to relax.

hiss--

Lin Jue couldn't help but gasp, twisted his waist, and patted Monica, who was lying on his stomach.

"Okay, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Looking at the girl who got up and gently wiped her mouth, Lin Jue said in a serious tone.

"What should I do if I'm full?"

With a sly look on her face, Monica winked teasingly as the two chatted.

Ring ring—

A phone call came in, and Lin Jue glanced at it; it was coming from Monica's bag.

She gently brushed her loose hair behind her back, quickly sat up, reached into her backpack, and as the call connected, a familiar voice clearly reached Lin Jue's ears.

"Okay...okay! Of course, maybe now is a good time!"

Looking out the window at the highway and at the smile on Monica's face, Lin Jue sighed inwardly.

Friendships between women are always so inexplicable; two people who would never have crossed paths can somehow end up together.

Snapped!

Monica hung up the phone and leaned proudly on Lin Jue's shoulder.

The person on the other end of the phone just now was a real socialite from New York, someone she could never hope to reach before, but now she would call her from time to time to hang out. She knew that all of this was thanks to Lin Jue.

During the time Lin Jue was missing, Monica followed her new best friend into the so-called upper circle and experienced a completely different treatment than before, which made her feel more grateful and admiring towards Lin Jue.

"What, I didn't expect you to bring a third wheel?"

Lin Jue pursed his lips. He didn't care about things between girls, but he didn't expect the other party's methods to be so clever. Judging from Monica's appearance, Lin Jue guessed that Monica really regarded that woman as her best friend.

"Yes, yes, I want her to come with us. Lin, you should have met her before, at the last banquet. There was a despicable old man harassing her and her father, and you stepped in to help them out of the crisis and save their dignity. That's why she's so grateful to me and has been wanting to thank you! Since I have time today, so..."

At this point, Monica felt a little uneasy.

Lin Jue smiled and said, "As long as you're happy!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Monica's face beamed with a happy smile. Then she leaned down again, making Lin Jue truly understand what the passion of a European woman was all about.
