Chapter 0155

Jacobsma Group from Province Town?!

Amber’s heart skipped a beat at what Lewis said, and her face paled.

“Don’t worry about it.”

Alexander, ever so sharp–eared, had overheard everything. He gave Amber’s hand a reassuring

squeeze and offered her a comforting smile. “You heard the man. Mister Christian said no, and

Jacobsma Group hasn’t even tried to reach out to us. We’re good.”

However, Alexander kept one thought to himself. ‘They think they can take over the New Cheshire

Group? Jacobsma can dream on!

“Mister Christian, I owe you one for today.”

Amber’s mind was a mess from the corporate, troubles, and it showed. She thanked Lewis, then turned

to Patrick and Susanne with a strained smile. “I’ve got to handle something. Enjoy yourselves. I need to

step out.”

With an apologetic grin at Lewis, she walked toward the exit absentmindedly.

“Amber?”

Alexander’s brow creased in concern. He handed Olivia off to Patrick and Susanne and strode out after

her, ignoring the rest.

They cruised down the outskirts of Ol‘ Mare in a cherry–red Porsche. Alexander glanced at Amber, her

brow creased with worry. He said softly and comfortingly, “What’s got you so rattled? Grandma’s

birthday bash is still in full swing. Why the rush to bail?”

Amber exhaled a heavy sigh.

The Jacobsma Group loomed large in Province Town Woolpackton. They were not the biggest fish in

the pond, but they threw their weight around like nobody’s business.

The New Chesire Group was just finding its stride, poised for a growth spurt, but Jacobsma Group was

eyeing them for a takeover. They were like a storm cloud ready to burst. She was at a loss for how to

handle the looming threat.

“Is the potential takeover bugging you?”

Alexander had a hunch, and with a reassuring grin, he said, “Dad’s the big boss, and you’re running the

show. We hold the reins. If we don’t want to sell, what can Jacobsma Group do? They can’t force our

hand.”

He puffed up his chest with a confident spark in his eyes. “And if they think they can push us around,

they’ve got another thing coming. Your hubby’s no pushover in a scrap!”

Amber burst into laughter, her eyes softening at the thought. That was right, she had Alex.

The time Sean had her in a bind, Alex had stormed the Youphoria Nightclub himself, putting the fear of

God into a gang of hooligans who did not dare twitch a muscle.

The memory alone sent a rush of adrenaline through her. What was there to fret about with a guy like

Alex in her corner?

“Alex, you barely touched your food earlier, huh?” With a tender look, Amber said softly, “Let’s go. I

know just the spot. It’s right up your

alley.”

Alexander’s laugh was infectious. “Lead the way!”

About twenty minutes later, the Porsche pulled up to the entrance of Elsa Music Restaurant.

They were right in the heart of Ol‘ Mare’s bustling downtown, with plenty of open parking spaces out

front. Alexander brought the car to a stop, and they strolled into the restaurant.

Just then.

Tucked away in a corner, a woman with a bold fashion sense, donning a daringly short skirt, was

seated across from a sharp–dressed young man. She was sipping on milk tea, her laughter tinkling

through the air. Her eyes widened as she caught sight of Amber, her grip on the milk tea cup faltering.

“Amber?!”

“Huh?!”

Amber’s head whipped around instinctively, locking eyes with the woman, a surge of surprise and

delight washing over her. “Braylee, it’s really you!”

Her old college buddy, Braylee Jacot!

“What are the odds!”

Braylee nodded to the man in the suit, then rose from her seat, beaming as she approached. “We used

to grab bites here all the time during our college days. I’ve just returned from Province Town to Ol‘

Mare. This is my first stop, chasing down those memories. And look. I

run into you!”

She gestured toward the man in the suit. She said, warm and friendly, “Oh, let me introduce him. This

is my boyfriend, Yorick Schneider, the second son of the Jacobsma Group from Province Town!”

Jacobsma Group?!

Amber’s smile froze, her lips quivered. “Braylee, you…”

“I’m here with Yorick to look into buying out New Chesire Group.”

Braylee twirled in place, her miniskirt flaring as she laughed. “Amber, you know what they say, absence

makes the heart grow fonder. I was always in your shadow, but look at me now, I’m the project

manager at Jacobsma Group.”

“Are you shocked, or what?!”
