Chapter 370

Geoffrey, sitting in the garden chair, looked at Gloria and habitually narrowed his eyes slightly.

Gloria, who was still covered with a layer of black gauze, clenched her fists tightly with blue veins on the back of her hands, but she stood straight. After the black gauze, her lavender eyes looked directly at Geoffrey, and her voice did not mean to retreat.

There were only two people in the garden, and the atmosphere was very quiet and depressing. The occasional chirping of insects in the withered grass became the only sound.

"Who gave you the courage to say that to me? Or why do you think I would agree with you that a woman should be the heir to the Molton family? " Geoffrey looked at Gloria and was silent for a long time.

"It's my father who gives me courage. He can choose to do what he really likes. I think I can also choose to do what I want to do. Just like he gave up being the successor of the Molton family 20 years ago, I want to get an opportunity to fight for such things." Gloria said in a firm voice, clenched her fist a little more tightly, and her voice also increased a few points, saying: "besides, isn't Miss Hill Buffett, the successor of the buffet family, a woman? Now that she can be the successor and guide of the buffet family, I believe I can also lead the Morton family in the right direction. I think I can do better than my second uncle. "

"Oh, I'm not Ian, that fool. If I let a woman inherit the family, would I give the whole family away?" Geoffrey looked at Gloria with a look of disdain and sarcasm. He continued: "I gave him a chance twenty years ago. For more than twenty years, he has never shown any repentance. Now, let his daughter pick up what he left behind for him? If it's Mickey, maybe I'll think about it. As for you? I can't give the moltons to a woman who doesn't dare to show her true colors. Besides, it's not a good habit to slander your opponent behind his back. "

"Grandfather, this has nothing to do with my father. He doesn't even know that I will stand in front of you and say these words. Moreover, even in 20 years' time, he won't regret the decision he made 20 years ago. You should know him better than I do." Instead of retreating, Gloria took a step forward and said seriously, "one day, I will uncover my veil and stand in front of the world to announce my identity and appearance. I am not ashamed of it, nor do I think I am inferior to any man as a woman. What's more, I'm not slandering my opponent, but expounding the fact that I can do better than him, at least I won't lead the Molton family into the abyss. "

Jeffrey looks at the girl in front of him. He seems to see the girl in red who is fighting against him in the conference room. Although they have some differences in character, they both seem to have a tenacity of not admitting defeat.

And the last sentence that Gloria said was more similar to what Hill said that day. It also pointed directly at Cyril.

Jeffrey's body did not know when to sit up a bit, looking at Gloria, silent for a while, said: "listen to what you mean, your goal is the little girl of the buffet family?"

"No, my goal is to surpass her." Gloria shook her head.

"Oh?" For the first time, Geoffrey had a look of surprise on his face. Looking at Gloria, he asked seriously, "what's that?"

"President of Aden chamber of Commerce, your present position." Gloria said firmly, looking at Geoffrey's voice.

"That's a lot of tone." Jeffrey's face showed a smile for the first time, and he reclined in the recliner. The recliner shook slightly, and continued: "a person's goal will determine the height he can reach. If you say your goal is her, you can never stand at the same height as her, because you have been looking up to her, and the Molton family can never be handed over to such a person."

"Can I do it now?" Gloria's voice was a little nervous and expectant.

"No, I haven't decided whether to give you this chance. You go down." Morton shook his head, the smile on his face has been turned away, with a bit of warning: "remember, only the mouth will say is never enough, business is far more difficult than you think, even the little girl of the buffet family, it took more than ten years to get to the present position."

"Yes, I remember, but I believe I can." Gloria nodded, her face did not show the slightest depression, on the contrary, she had the color of joy. From small to large, this was the first time that she was valued by her grandfather, even if it was not recognized, at least it was a change and breakthrough.

"President! Catering... "

Just then, Mars walked into the garden in a hurry and saw a little surprise in Gloria's eyes. At the same time, he swallowed the words behind.

"You go down first." Geoffrey gave Gloria a a lift.

"Yes." Gloria saluted and turned away.

"What's the matter?" Jeffrey asked, looking at Mars.

"President, the news from this morning is that the city Lord's office has taken action against the Catering Association. President Warren, several vice presidents and the middle and high-level members of the association are almost all controlled. Moreover, this morning, the city Lord's office directly sent a team to the headquarters of our chamber of Commerce, sealed up the information of the restaurants under our chamber of Commerce, and now we are checking the information and account books. " Mars said quickly.

"Did the Lord of the city finally fight against the Catering Association? Warren has gone a little far over the years. He has forgotten his duty. It's a matter of time before he is dealt with Geoffrey sat up from the reclining chair, not too much accident. Looking at Mars, he said: "the information of our chamber of commerce should be OK. Send a notice to the member restaurant of the chamber of Commerce, and let them keep their mouths shut. As long as the city Lord doesn't want to lose face, it won't make a big fuss, and the limelight will be OK in the past. Mars, that's the little thing that scares you so much? "

"President, there is one thing you may need to know. Since last year, young master Cyril took charge of the catering Department of the chamber of Commerce, and expanded the cooperation with the Catering Association. He adjusted the minimum quota on the food ranking list from 50% to 90%, and ranked it by bidding. This bill should be kept in the chamber of Commerce now." Mars's forehead was covered with cold sweat. Looking at Geoffrey's increasingly gloomy expression, he continued with a stiff head: "moreover, some time ago, gudinia and Warren were involved in the fourth level incident of the grey temple. Young master Cyril, entrusted by their two families, tried to get them out of Basti prison. Today, another group of people who entered the chamber of Commerce building together came from Basti prison."
