Chapter 263: Chapter 263: The Day After Tomorrow is No. 18

Chapter 263

"Wh...what?" Robert Foster’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Chloe Collins.

Quincy chuckled, "Yes, Miss Collins seems to be someone who knows watches well. This watch is at the top of the LM pyramid, and the price is correct."

Robert Foster was stunned.

Although his family was wealthy, the elders had never allowed him to spend extravagantly, and his parents had instilled in him the concept of proper financial management. As a result, he rarely used personal items that cost over a million.

That wasn’t the main point. The main point was that Wanda Wesley had given it to him.

That ordinary girl, who usually dressed modestly, and some even said she came from a poor family.

How could she suddenly give him such an expensive item?

Moreover, even if she was wealthy, there was no need to spend so much on him, right?

He had always thought this watch was worth just a few hundred dollars.

He blinked blankly, at a loss for words, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

After a while, he took off the watch and carefully put it in his pocket.

"It’s too valuable. I can’t accept it."

Chloe glanced at her phone and said, "She gave it to you for a reason. Think it over before deciding whether to accept it or not."

Robert Foster was silent all the way home, still looking troubled.

At tonight’s dinner, Alexander Foster didn’t show up. He went on a business trip and would be away for quite some time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chloe searched the house thoroughly once again. This time, she found no experimental data of Emma Foster from before 2003.

Lying in bed, she suddenly felt that perhaps the rest of the data was not in the Foster’s house, and continuing the search would be a waste of time.

In that case, she didn’t need to bother them any longer.

Soon after, Chloe finished the Chemistry Competition’s Preliminary Round on a rainy morning.

She left the examination center an hour early. As she ate ice cream in the waiting area outside the snack shop, she fired the Planning Department’s Director at LM.

During the past two weeks, some conflicts had arisen among the company executives.

The cause was the Vice President’s affair with the Director’s mistress. The Director, infuriated, publicly exposed the Vice President during the weekly meeting and sabotaged him on every issue ever since.

Recently, he treated the commands given by the Vice President with disdain, causing production problems.

The Deputy General Manager was furious and unreservedly criticized the Planning Department Director during the meeting, deeming his performance worthless.

The director finally couldn’t bear it any longer. He overturned a chair and hit the Deputy General Manager in the face in front of everyone.

So the matter came to Chloe’s attention.

She let Heijii handle it, and upon investigation, other issues emerged.

The Planning Department’s Director had secretly used unfair means to contact a competitor’s internal staff, offering financial incentives for them to steal the company’s confidential files.

The matter was still ongoing and hadn’t succeeded yet.

So Chloe immediately ordered the dismissal of the director, gave a warning to the vice president, and imposed certain penalties on him.

Upon hearing she was involved in the matter, the Deputy General Manager immediately dumped his mistress.

But the Planning Department Director refused to accept the decision and was pleading with Heijii for mercy.

Heijii was annoyed by his persistence and complained to Chloe Collins about it.

Chloe ignored him, focusing on eating her ice cream.

Not long after, she looked at the calendar and noticed the Schedule - No. 18 was the day after tomorrow.

That day was the birthday of her master, Master Matsu.

She had promised the old man that she would return to celebrate his birthday this year and also bring Alexander Foster with her.

Alexander Foster was still on a business trip abroad.

Fortunately, it was in a neighboring country with almost no time difference, and it only took three to four hours to fly back.

He could make it in time.

To ensure he wouldn’t forget, she casually sent him a text.

[Chloe: When will you be back?]
