The Actual Reality

1170 Words
The next day, news broke throughout Cerberus that the Stuart family wanted to build a new district in an undeveloped area. The news was like a heat wave after the Stuart family from the Reedplace region had bought up all the land in the eastern Real Estate, Cerberus City. All countless eyes were on the Stuart family's new company. Cooperating was the dream of all investors to boost their stock income. The Launter family, who ran the construction business, also wanted to exploit this situation to find opportunities. They were confident that the Stuarts would be happy to work with them, given that they had sent a lavish gift to Anne's birthday party just a few days ago. Today, all the Launter family members gathered in a special room to discuss cooperating with the new company built by the Stuart family. Some concerns were that submitting a proposal to the company was difficult, and even top-tier companies were often ignored by real estate owners. "There is a lot of competition for the contract. I can assure you that the boss of the Venus Star company will consider our proposal to cooperate. Our company will become number one in the entire city of Cerberus. Who wants to take on this task?" said Anne, who looked enthusiastic. Anne's face flattened when some of her family shook their heads. She could interpret their apprehension about taking on this vital task. She smacked her wand on the table to wake up all the family members. "Why the silence? Don't you want our family to achieve great success?" snapped Anne, quite disappointed. "Mom, we tried once. However, they have not replied. Some companies have also given up on making proposals to Venus Bintang's bosses," said the man sitting not far from Anne. "We are too small for them." "That's right, ma'am. They never even looked at us." Anne was furious after hearing their words. "So useless! They haven't announced anything yet. So, don't give up before trying again. You will apply for cooperation every day! You have to meet with their leader." "They're very secretive. How could you possibly do that?" said Bryan, seeking Anne's attention. "Beg them if that's what it takes to get cooperation," said Anne spontaneously. Asking for cooperation, begging, and standing at the gates of Venus Star Real Estate? They had never gone that low before. Until then, they had taken great pride in their position as leaders of several Launter family branch companies. With a sly look, Bryan began to stare at Bailey's face and landed on Anne. "Grandma, let Bailey try his hand at this task. Before, he was very relaxed regarding the family business." "Right, he should also contribute to the company," said another. Bailey immediately swallowed her saliva after listening to their remarks. She was about to reply, but she suddenly got a message from her husband. [There is a good opportunity to negotiate with Venus Star Real Estate. Do you want to try it?"] Bailey smiled sarcastically after reading the message. She underestimated her poor husband too much. Then, she replied that they would never be able to achieve that cooperation. "Bailey? Do you want to go or not? Say something!" snapped Anne. With a surprised look, Bailey spontaneously nodded. "I'll go there." She sniffed heavily again. "Bailey, you have to win this partnership. I'm quite worried that you will fail this mission. Grandma will be very disappointed with you," Bryan said later. "Right, everyone will be disappointed. You also have to contribute to the company," said another. "Only your family doesn't contribute much to the family business," Bryan said again. Bailey immediately clenched his hands into fists and gritted his teeth after hearing their taunts. He was furious that the whole family was looking down on him. They had never treated him well, although she came from a legitimate relationship with the Launter family. Now, she could use that to silence their lips. Anne sniffed anxiously after monitoring the negotiations. "I'll send someone to monitor Bailey. Do you know what things you have to do, Bailey?" "I understand, Grandma." Bailey nodded, then straightened her head. Bailey immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will make sure to get this cooperation opportunity." "Haha, what did he say? He hasn't even tried to do it yet," his uncle teased. "She's too arrogant. She deserves to marry a poor man to get rid of that smug look." Bryan's gaze was still looking very sarcastically at Bailey. He wanted her out of the Launter family. When Anne died, she was greedy and wanted a big piece of the family inheritance. He didn't want anyone else to have more wealth, considering he was the only grandson of the family. "Bailey, you are very confident. What if you fail to do so?" Bryan said. "I will relinquish my claim to the family inheritance," Bailey said spontaneously. "What do you do if I get it?" It was too late for him to give up. How?" Bryan pressed. "I agree!" said Bailey. "I'll wait for your whole body to bow before me!" *** After the meeting, Bailey immediately returned home to tell the contents of the Launter family meeting, although she was having significant anxiety. She couldn't possibly return from doing it for their family's reputation. It was time to rise from the slump. She was not as weak as they thought she was. "Are you crazy? Why did you accept the offer? Do you want to make our family even more despised by them?" Scarlette said. "Mom, we can't be weak because they look down on us too much." Bailey looked sternly at her mother's face. "Just ask for this cooperation. It's not hard for me to do," Bailey said casually. "Even those with experience can't get it. What about you?" Scarlett immediately threw her gaze in the other direction. "They overestimate their position, so they don't dare to ask. That doesn't apply to me," Bailey replied. "Bryan wants our family to get nothing from the family inheritance. If you knew this, you would have backed out of their deal," Scarlett said with a heavy sniff. "Mom, just trust me this time." Bailey immediately held her mother's hand warmly. "I was so anxious and couldn't sleep well all day when you married Justin. Now you're taking the offer of killing our family. Do you want to kill your mother with torture?" Scarlette complained and leaned her body on the sofa. Justin, silently listening to their discussion, soon entered the room. "Mom, I'm sure Bailey can do it." Scarlette's cynical gaze went straight to Justin, and she threw a nearby item at her son-in-law. "You poor guy knows about this! Will you shut up?" Bailey immediately held back his mother's hand, who again wanted to throw things at Justin. "Mom, stop it already." "Can I count on you this time?" Bailey asked Justin. "Sure," Justin replied with a faint smile. Justin slowly approached his wife. "Venus Star Real Estate is mine," he whispered.
