Chapter 429
The temperature in the room seemed to have dropped after Callie made the offer.
In the office were Amber, Acela, Callie’s two bodyguards, a few other New Chesire Group bodyguards, and a business manager. Everyone in the office and the hallway outside the office was dead silent.
Those who heard Callie’s offer, including the security guards, knew how crazy that was. If Amber accepted the offer and became the new owner of Callie Group, the merger of the New Chesire Group and the Callie Group would be on the front page of the local and international news.
The northern, domestic, Ol‘ Mare, and Zabaleta businesses would be impacted. It would be nothing short of a major economic storm that would shake the industries in which the two companies were involved.
Such was Callie’s stake in stealing Alexander from Amber.
Everyone's eyes were on Amber, anticipating her response.
They were likely to witness a historic moment when two women traded tens of billions of dollars in assets for a mysterious man who married into a wealthy family.
Amber calmed down after a moment of shock. “I disagree.”
She slowly got up from her office swivel chair and looked firmly at Callie. She showed no hesitation or fear. “Alexander is my husband, my daughter’s father.
“He is not a commodity; he is not a product. Even if you’re rich and powerful, even if you pay a high price, | won’t give my husband away. Don’t think you can ever steal him from me.
“Miss Xanthos, you are not welcome here. Please leave!” Callie took half a step back, still staring coldly at Amber.
Callie never made acquaintance with the word ‘impossible’. To her, everything could be traded for money, including relationships and people.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Don't be too sure.” She turned, walked slowly to the sofa, and sat down. She poured herself a cup of hot tea and cupped the tea gently in her hand. Her posture in the discussion was as if she was talking about a trivial matter that did not affect her much.
“I've defeated countless competitors in the business arena, and you’re no exception. Nobody can make me leave this office until | meet Alexander. And when he’s here, you'll soon understand what

it means to have no money and no husband. Don’t regret it.
“Now is the time. Divorce Alexander, and you'll take over Callie Group.”
Callie stood firm by her stance. She was determined to take Alexander, and she would not give in easily.
Just when the two women were in a state of war...
“What a crowd we have here. It’s so busy in the office today.”
A familiar young man’s voice came from the end of the corridor, instantly drawing everyone’s attention. The smell of gunpowder in the air dissipated.
It was none other than Alexander.
“Alexander!” Callie was startled the moment Alexander appeared. She immediately got up from the sofa. Her eyes swept through the crowd and down the hallway to the approaching figure, tears welling in her eyes.
Although Callie had not seen Alexander in six years, she recognized him immediately. His appearance, his voice, his relaxed smile, his confidence;.everything about him.
It was him, it had to be him, the Alexander whom she missed. The man she was engaged to. “Alexander? Do you recognize me?”
Alexander raised his eyebrows slightly, shook his head, and smiled at Callie before walking past her and toward Amber. He held his wife’s hand and smiled warmly at her.
“Who is she? How come I’ve never seen her before? Amber, will you introduce me?”
