"What did you say? You want to break off the engagent with Felix?" Oliver Shaw thought he had heard wrong. He furrowed his brow and confird again. Mia Foster nodded, her gaze resolute, "Yes."
"Why? Did Felix do sothing to wrong you?" Oliver Shaw asked, puzzled. Although his son had secretly t with that young star in another city, he had kept it well-hidden, not like before when it would be exposed by the dia.
Mia Foster lowered her gaze and slightly curved her lips, saying, "No, Felix is good, it’s my own issue."
A confident and rational woman does not bla others for her faults.
"Your issue? What issue do you have?"
Oliver Shaw was even more puzzled, "Did you fall for soone else, and that’s why you want to break off the engagent with Felix?"
"Uncle Shaw is joking," Mia Foster chuckled at Oliver Shaw’s words, "I’ve just returned to T city. I haven’t even sorted out the company matters; there’s no ti to interact with other n."
"That’s good, that’s good." Hearing that it wasn’t the case, Oliver Shaw nodded in relief.
Mia Foster had already opened the handbag on her lap, taking out two delicate brocade boxes and pushing them across the coffee table towards Oliver Shaw, "Mia, what is this...?"
Oliver Shaw recognized the two brocade boxes; they were the gifts Shaw Family gave Mia Foster, a sapphire necklace and an engagent ring.
"Uncle Shaw, I have thought long and hard about calling off the engagent," Mia Foster’s fingers rested on the brocade boxes, slowly pushing them forward, her gaze also falling on them, her lowered eyelashes hiding her unhappiness.
"It’s not that I ca here to make a scene for no reason. This, given to by Felix, I think it’s better to return it now that the engagent is off,"
Pushing the brocade boxes towards Oliver Shaw, then not giving him the chance to continue persuading, Mia Foster took out a card from her handbag, "I know this decision will cause Shaw Family to lose face among friends and relatives, but I’m sorry, I’ve made up my mind. I hope Uncle Shaw won’t bla .
Also, this engagent party cost Uncle Shaw quite a bit. Since the engagent was unilaterally ended by , the money should be paid by Foster Family."
Placing the bank card on top of the brocade boxes, Mia Foster stood up, and deeply bowed towards Oliver Shaw, saying, "I’m sorry."
Then she turned and left with big strides.
Looking at the brocade boxes and bank card that Mia Foster returned, Oliver Shaw imdiately lost his temper, "What is all this!"
He marched back behind his desk and angrily picked up the phone to call his son, "Co back to the company right now!"
At the South Bay construction site, Felix Shaw was inspecting the work with engineers, wearing a safety helt and a work suit. Perhaps due to his inherently noble deanor, even dressed like the construction workers, he still looked distinct.
The company’s South Bay Road resort and Entertainnt Village developnt project had already started. He missed the foundation laying ceremony, but as the person in charge of the project, he needed to keep up with the work progress. The project had just begun, and the workers were constructing the foundation according to the plans.
The engineer held the blueprint, explaining while taking Felix Shaw around the site, where the amusent park would be, where the hotel for tourists would rest...
Just as they were halfway through the inspection, the phone in his work jacket rang. He politely said "Sorry," took off his work gloves, and took out his phone. As soon as he answered, his father Oliver Shaw’s discontent voice ca through, "Co back to the company right now!"
Felix Shaw...
Frowned, just about to ask what had happened, on the other end, Oliver Shaw had already hung up the phone.
