Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 88 I Can Wait for Her to Divorce
James saw the scene and froze. They actually know each other?
"Mr. Valencia, that person is..." James almost bit his tongue.
He just glanced in the rearview mirror and immediately stiffened, swallowing nervously.
Antonio's eyes were simmering with anger!
Antonio pushed open the car door and stepped out. James had a bad feeling and quickly followed, jogging over to introduce them.
"Mr. Valencia, this is the head of BrianTech Solutions Inc..."
But Antonio wasn't listening. His face was cold, and his deep eyes were fixed on Alex and Sarah.
"What's your relationship?" he asked.
Alex wasn't fazed by Antonio's abrupt question. Instead, he gave a gentlemanly smile and patiently explained, "Mr. Valencia, I met Sarah abroad. I'm her best friend and Harper's godfather." Godfather? Not her biological father?
Antonio was skeptical, his eyes scanning Alex, Sarah, and Harper. "Really?"
Alex smiled and looked at Sarah with admiration. "But I do see Sarah as someone I care about. She's an exceptional woman and a great mother. She's the only woman who's ever moved me, so yes, I'm pursuing her." Hearing that, Antonio's eyes narrowed dangerously. In the next second, he wrapped his strong arm around Sarah, pulling her into his embrace. He sneered, "Too bad, she's my wife."
His instincts were right; Alex had designs on Sarah.
What a fool!
Alex just smiled calmly at Antonio's possessive display. "No problem. I can wait for her to divorce."
Antonio's face darkened to the extreme. For the first time in his life, he felt like he had met a formidable rival.
As Alex moved, the tie clip on his chest reflected the sunlight, momentarily blinding Antonio. Antonio's eyes darkened, devoid of any light.
Alex continued to smile calmly, his words gentle and his manners impeccable, exuding grace and poise.
He spoke the most unkind words in the kindest tone. James couldn't help but think Antonio's got a real contender here!
Sarah sensed the tension. She looked at Antonio's dark expression and Alex's calm smile. She pursed her lips and said nothing, realizing this was a silent war. She picked up Harper and left the battlefield, heading into the company building.
A few minutes later, in the Valencia Group's executive lounge.
Antonio and Alex sat across from each other.
Harper, genuinely missing Alex, clung to him, and Sarah naturally sat beside Harper.
The situation turned into a three-on-one, but at least Antonio had the inconspicuous James behind him, so he didn't look too lonely.
Antonio's face remained tense as he scrutinized the three people across from him, piecing together the events.
First, BrianTech Solutions Inc had posed a strange test, then Harper had passed it easily. But in reality, these three had a close relationship! Was it just a coincidence?
BrianTech Solutions Inc is actually Alex's company? Sarah had no idea before today?
Antonio couldn't help but suspect that Sarah and Alex were in on something together to mess with him.
And then there was Harper, Michael, and that elusive Brian.
Harper noticed Antonio's probing look and felt a shiver down her spine. 'Oh no, does Antonio know something?' she thought.
She quickly put on an innocent smile and said, "Wow! So the company Antonio's working with is Alex's? What a coincidence!"
But all she got in return was Antonio's scrutinizing gaze.
Harper, still a kid, couldn't handle that intense stare.
Her smile froze, and her eyes widened.
Just then, a gentle voice saved her.
"Mr. Valencia, Sarah doesn't know about my work abroad. We're just friends."
"Oh?" Antonio raised an eyebrow, looking at Sarah with a meaningful gaze.
'She doesn't know about Alex's work? Trying to fool me?' Antonio thought.
Sarah caught Antonio's suspicious look. She frowned, a hint of displeasure on her delicate face. She shrugged. "Alex never talks about work with me. Believe it or not." With that, she grabbed Harper's hand and started to leave.
"Harper, if we're not trusted, let's go."
"I didn't say you could leave."
Antonio's voice stopped them. His narrow eyes fixed on Sarah, lips pressed tight, a complex look in his eyes.
If it weren't for the importance of the deal with BrianTech Solutions Inc, he wouldn't have let this Alex guy into his company!
Harper sensed the tension, her worried eyes darting between the three adults, feeling torn.
She liked Antonio and Alex and didn't want them to fight.
Plus, she wanted to help Antonio pass Brian's third test!
James looked equally troubled. Even though he could only see the back of Antonio's head, he could imagine Antonio's grim face.
The head of BrianTech Solutions Inc was Antonio's rival in love!
Antonio had to stay calm and not let personal feelings mess up this crucial deal!
Alex then spoke with a calm smile, "I understand Mr. Valencia's doubts. I can personally vouch for the truth of my words."
Antonio glanced at Alex, still suspicious, but his expression softened a bit. Being a seasoned businessman and the top decision-maker of the Valencia Group, he quickly regained his composure, setting aside personal feelings to focus on business. During the discussion, Harper grew restless, her little face showing signs of impatience. After a while, she whispered to Sarah, "Mommy, I need to go to the bathroom."
Sarah nodded and immediately took Harper to the restroom.
Now, only the two men and a very uncomfortable James were left in the room.
For the rest of the meeting, both maintained a strictly professional demeanor, showing their expertise.
Alex leaned back on the leather sofa, gently rubbing his gold ring, occasionally nodding, his expression calm and unreadable.
Antonio kept a close eye on Alex's reactions. Finally, he took the tablet James handed him and slid it over to Alex.
"Here's the contract we've drafted. Take a look, Mr. Harris. If everything's in order, we can sign anytime."
Alex glanced at the tablet and smiled faintly. "Hold on, Mr. Valencia. Our CEO says you haven't passed the third test yet." Antonio's eyes narrowed and said, "What do you mean? You're not the CEO?"
