My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back by Cheryl Moore

Chapter 195

Curtis never doubted Gerald’s talent for running a business.

The rise of Patterson Finance Group was a typical example of success.

Even many well-known business schools have added Gerald’s entrepreneurial story to their textbooks.

He was a business genius. Many people regarded him as a trendsetter, and they followed whatever he

did.

However, only the first person to do so made the most profit.

When they finally caught onto Gerald’s strategy, it was already too late for them.

Curtis had seen many failures in the business world as he worked with Gerald.

Some wealthy scions had no business sense. As they ran their business, the company went from bad

to worse and finally found itself in an endless loop of failure.

Therefore, one must have the talent to be a boss, especially those holding an executive. position, such

as a CEO.

Curtis admired Gerald and obeyed his decisions and arrangements.

This time, of course, it was no exception.

Undoubtedly, Gerald came to Dellmoor because of Kimberly.

However, he implemented his business layout because he had won the market share in Dellmoor.

Gerald was not like those foolish emperors of ancient times who adored beauty but cared little for their

realm. He was a different kind of leader.

He wanted both.

It was a relatively major project, and Gerald had already decided to partner with Larson Corporation.

He had considered this idea before, but not because Patterson Finance Group lacked. the capability to

handle such a large project.

On the one hand, he was making considerations from the perspective of risk control

management.

If one company were to dominate a large-scale project, it could easily consume a

significant portion of the company’s capital flow and affect the development of other projects to some

extent.

High liability and blindly expanding the business all had risks.

Judging from the project proposal and the ongoing feasibility study report, the project seemed very

promising.

However, it covered a wide range of fields.

Everyone had their own specialties. Patterson Finance Group had developed well in recent years.

From the perspective of the whole industry chain, they still had some shortcomings.

In the market, alliances between competent companies were common, and this was also a

consideration.

He wanted to occupy a larger market share, have pricing power, and undoubtedly. diversify risks.

After a comparison, Larson Corporation had achieved excellent results in some fields. By

complementing each other’s strengths, they would make substantial advancements.

On the other hand, no doubt, he wanted to have more time alone with Kimberly.

Even if the collaboration didn’t work out, they were partners before.

There were plenty of opportunities to be alone with her.

However, he felt that it was not enough, especially when he knew that Christopher was also struggling

to pursue her. He still had a sense of crisis.

Even if their marriage failed, they had been together for only two years after all. The most important

thing was the three children.

He had to admit that it was not that he didn’t trust himself, but he was indeed afraid that she would

compromise for the sake of the children.

But for now, it looked like there wasn’t any sign of it.

Just because it wasn’t happening at the moment didn’t mean she wouldn’t do so in the

future.

One should always consider how things will progress.

Things were constantly changing, and there were obvious risks, so he had to be vigilant.

What he wanted to do next was to occupy her time as much as possible.

This way, those who had ulterior motives would not have a chance.

At the thought of getting to spend some time alone with her later, Gerald smirked.

On a particular day, Christopher called Maxwell many times.

Maxwell finally realized that Christopher was a brat who valued romance over family.

He didn’t expect Christopher to care about him so much.

The number of phone calls he received had broken the record.

Maxwell looked through the call records carefully. There were more than a dozen calls, but only a few

were answered.

This was equivalent to the number of calls that Christopher had made in half a month.

Maxwell didn’t answer most of the calls, mainly because he was living a fulfilling life after staying at the

Larson residence. He thought it was a waste of time to spend too much time answering the phone.

“Grandpa, is everything okay?” Christopher was very worried about Maxwell. After all, he was traveling

alone at his age.

However, he was more concerned about Kimberly and the three children.

He was beating around the bush to get information.

Maxwell patted his chest and said proudly, “Of course. I’m old and strong. There’s nothing I can’t

handle once I get involved.”

In front of Christopher, Maxwell bragged without hesitation.

Christopher, on the other end of the phone, was in disbelief. He felt that Maxwell, who was always

strict, had become like a child after he went to Dellmoor.

Whenever he thought about Maxwell, he was only reminded of the latter’s solemnness.

Christopher had a lasting impression of Maxwell from his childhood, as he had no father looking after

him.

However, it was rare to see Maxwell being so humorous.

In other words, he had never seen him like that before.

Moreover, he couldn’t get used to it at that moment.

‘Is this really Grandpa?’ Christopher thought, paused, and pondered for a moment.

As Maxwell was rarely so delighted, Christopher played along and flattered, “You surely are, Grandpa!”

After Christopher said so, Maxwell was on cloud nine, and joy filled his heart.

During the call, Maxwell was in the medicinal herbs garden, picking herbal medicine. excitedly.

After a brief chat with Christopher, he was rushing to hang up the phone.

Maxwell urged, “Get on with your work! Don’t worry. I’m fine with Kimberly here. You and your

grandmother don’t have to worry about me.”

Christopher could tell from Maxwell’s words that he was having a great time.

After all, Maxwell was the king in the Levine manor. Even Lilian had always tolerated. him.

The family took good care of him.

Christopher didn’t expect Maxwell to get better treatment after going to Dellmoor,

Christopher couldn’t help but admire Kimberly, who managed to do that.

‘No wonder when she got divorced, everyone spoke highly of her and supported her, he thought.

At that time, everyone criticized him badly, especially Heather, who was usually gentle. and delicate.

He seldom heard her say such harsh words.

However, at that time, she harshly reprimanded him.

Of course, Christopher knew that, she was also dissatisfied with his father, who was a sc umbag.

She worked so hard to raise Christopher, but in the end, he became a scu mbag. There was no way

she could sit still.

Besides, Kimberly was indeed a rare and good daughter-in-law.

So, at that time, everyone gave her their full support.

Realization dawned on Christopher.

‘Even someone can serve Grandpa, who is so picky and difficult to talk with, so well that

he doesn’t have any complaints and is having a great time, he thought.

He could tell she put in a lot of effort.

After Maxwell said his piece, a series of beeps sounded as he hurriedly hung up.

Christopher frowned slightly and thought, ‘Grandpa was eager to hang up the phone before I could ask

what I wanted.
