Chapter 0428
That afternoon in Ol‘ Mare.
After Zane went home with the Yanker family members, New Chesire Group was once again safe and
sound. Patrick Chesire and Susanne Braine were happy. They finally felt safe sending Olivia to the
kindergarten.
Amber Chesire, on the other hand, was still worried. She sat alone in the office all day because the
famous and intelligent northern tycoon businesswoman, Callie Xanthos, was arriving in Ol‘ Mare. Callie
had sent a corporate notification, notifying Amber of a face–to–face meeting.
In the past, Amber would be over the moon if she had the chance to work with the Callie Group. Things
changed after Amber found out about Alexander and Callie’s engagement. The two were childhood
friends, destined to get married when they grew up.
“Acela.”
Amber was getting more restless as it was closer to Callie’s arrival in Ol‘ Mare. She finally made up her
mind, turned to look at her secretary–Mister Hardy’s daughter, Acela–and spoke softly,” Send an official
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtletter to Callie, informing her that the New Chesire Group refuses to cooperate in
any ways with the Callie Group.”
Acela was shocked, and she looked at Amber in disbelief. “Miss Chesire, are you kidding me? Callie
Group is capable and financially strong with total assets of around tens of billion dollars. They’re a
business giant from the north! If we can work with the Callie Group, we can easily
establish a foothold in the northern market, you…”
Amber smiled bitterly and slowly shook her head.
She was confident but was not puffed up with conceit. New Chesire Group was growing rapidly but was
a young company compared to the Callie Group and the Xanthos family. Their disparity in strength was
vast.
Callie had an enviable status as the eldest daughter of the Xanthos family, which Amber could not
compare with.
Amber would rather lose the opportunity to work with the Callie Group, rather than allow a better
woman to have contact with her husband. Not when they were childhood friends who were
engaged.
“Miss Chesire, please reconsider.” Acela approached Amber cautiously and reasoned, “Are you worried
that the Callie Group will ask for a high margin and steal most of the profits? We can…”

Acela froze.
A few meters behind her, the office door was gently pushed open from the outside, and a slim and
slender female figure slowly walked in.
It was none other than Callie. She wore a simple and professional suit, revealing her pair of long legs
that were straight and without excessive fat. Her hair was pulled back into a short ponytail. She looked
young and exuded a strong, innate confidence. Even Amber envied Callie’s outstanding temperament.
“You’re Amber Chesire?”
Looking at her love rival, Callie kept a straight face as if she was facing a competitor in a business deal.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer perfect and delicate face revealed a condescending aura, “Name a price. I want you to leave
Alexander. I can meet any of your demands, and all you have to give up is a man who doesn’t love
you.‘
Decisive, domineering, and direct–that was Callie. She knew exactly what she wanted and was willing
to pay any price to get it.
Acela was shocked. She finally understood Amber’s choice. ‘No wonder Miss Chesire refused to meet
with Callie, she turned out to be Alexander’s ex–lover!‘
“Miss Xanthos, please be respectful.” Acela was Amber’s secretary and, in private, a close friend.
Acela stepped forward and positioned herself between Amber and Callie. “We shouldn’t discuss
personal matters at work! If you’re here on business with Miss Chesire, you’re welcome.
“If you are here to steal Miss Chesire’s husband, then I’m sorry, but you’re not welcome in the New
Chesire Group.”
Callie was unfazed.
She did not care about Acela. She stepped aside to look Amber in the eye and coldly announced,
Callie Group is involved in more than thirty industries, both domestically and abroad. We have a total of
twenty–eight subsidiaries and a total of nineteen billion and five million dollars in assets. “Amber, if you
agree to divorce Alexander, you’ll be the new owner of the Callie Group.”
