NovelEnglishChapter 898 Nathalie introduced herself, "Hi, I'm Vivian, here to see your master. And this is Morris. He's hoping to make a connection at Vincent Corporation today." The gatekeeper greeted them warmly, "Just a moment, I'll let him know you're here." It wasn't long before the gatekeeper returned, looking a bit grim. "Ashley, I'm sorry, but my master isn't seeing anyone today." Nathalie was momentarily caught off guard, though she had already suspected as much. "Nathan, it looks like we might've rubbed the Sharp family the wrong way yesterday, and now they're not too fond us. What do we do?" she fretted, pacing nervously. She could break ties with the Sharp family, but Morris was here to reconnect. If he was turned away, it would be a tough road ahead.
Morris gave her a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, Nathalie." He pulled a ring from his pocket and handed it to the gatekeeper. "Please give this to Mr. Jules. If he sees it and still doesn't want to meet us, we won't bother him again." The gatekeeper hesitated but finally agreed. "Alright, I'll give it another shot. If he still says no, you have to promise not to push it." "Absolutely." The gatekeeper took the ring inside.

The gatekeeper, a bit on edge, explained, "Sir, the young man in the wheelchair sent this for you. He said if you see it and still don't want to meet, he'll leave you be." Jules put down his pen, chuckling dryly. "Trying to bribe me? What a rookie move. Didn't he do any research before coming here? I can't stand corruption or bribery." He waved them off impatiently. "Send them away." The gatekeeper ventured, "But sir, it doesn't look valuable. To use it as a bribe would be beneath you." Jules hadn't expected such a modest attempt at bribery.
He gestured for the gatekeeper to show him. "What is it? Lethave a look." The gatekeeper showed him the ring.
Jules's eyes widened in shock.
His weathered face lit up with emotion as he reached out, cradling the ring gently, tears brimming in his eyes. "How did he cby this ring?" "He's just a young master from the Rowland family. What right does he have to Kelly's personal item?" "Damn the Rowlands, how dare they treat Kelly's keepsake so carelessly?"
He barked at the gatekeeper, "Bring him in. I need to see what he's after. Hmph, just another fallen aristocrat." "Yes, sir." Outside at the gate.
Nathalie and Morris were waiting when, unfortunately, they ran into sunfriendly faces.

Nathalie's face flushed with anger, but for Nathan's sake, she swallowed her pride and addressed Jackson humbly, was a bit rash yesterday.
Please, Jackson, don't hold it against me."
