A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 163 Louis, You Are Pretending to Be Sloshed, Right?

“Haha… Lou... President Smith was just joking. Please don't take it to heart.” Lily hastily explains to

those C-level executives, “I came to visit President Smith because I was worrying about his legs.”

The executives hiss knowingly. Obviously they are not convinced.

They were not blind and clearly saw Lily walk out of the bed room just now. Is this just a ‘visit'?

“Rest assured, President Lily. We all know about it.” One of the executives cuts in, “The Smith Group is

in its crisis now. And we'll keep your pregnancy a secret. When President Smith is recovered, maybe

he'll announce it personally.”

“Yeah, we all understand it.”

Lily, “…”

She's not pregnant! Really not!

But since it was President Smith who told them the lie, no one would listen to Lily's explanation.

The executives leave one by one.

Before walking out, Meghan says to Lily, “President Lily, I have many friends in overseas. Tell me if you

need my help.”

“…”

“Honey, are you feeling uncomfortable?” Louis pushes the wheelchair over when he sees that Lily's

gloomy expression, “Shall I call the family doctor?”

Lily refuses expressionlessly, “No need, thanks!”

She just wants to beat him up right at this moment.

After handling all the matters, Meghan comes back to her apartment, takes off her coat and hangs it on

a cloth rack. Then she heads towards into the study room.

In the study room, John is sitting on a black-wood chair decently with his legs crossed, seeming to

have a video call with someone and spitting out words in pure, charming British English.

John peers at her and continues to talk into the phone, and then soon takes off the earphones.

“Finished?”

“Yeah, there are a lot of things to deal with in the Smith Group. I'm so tired.” Meghan walks over and

embraces him from the back, “I went to Louis' Villa to have a meeting today, and found something

interesting.”

John smiles, “I'm curious. What kind of thing has triggered your interest?”

Meghan plugs an USB into the laptop and opens a video. Then there comes Louis's voice. He was

telling everyone that Lily had been pregnant and would not come to work in the Smith Group frequently.

“Lily is pregnant! What a surprise!” Meghan steals a glance at John yet is disappointed to find out that

he has no reaction after hearing the recording.

She then deliberately puts in some stimulating words, “I used to think that Louis is into Lily but I denied

it due to his engagement with Miss Stella. But now it seems that my guess is correct.”

“Who would have noticed that Lily is pregnant if he didn't tell us?”

“It's really a surprise.” John finally reacts, yet his voice is flat, “It seems that Louis has reached an

agreement with Stella on something. And their engagement is just a show to the public.”

Meghan cuts in, “The crisis of the Smith Group has no negative impact on Long Peace Group. It's said

that Stella Scott has been promoted as an executive in the group, and President Scott even plans to

transfer shares to her.”

“Louis is really generous.” John says, “It's just an engagement ceremony, but it has a great effect. He

has helped Stella break away from her identity as an illegitimate daughter and become an executive in

Long Peace Group.”

Meghan jokes, “Maybe Louis wants both. Although Stella is an illegitimate daughter of the Scott family,

she's smart and capable. After all, she manages to stay in the Scott family with as an illegitimate

daughter.”

John takes off his glasses and rubs his eyebrows as he says flatly, “I don't care what he is thinking

about, I just want to acquire the Smith Group. Did Richard Smith agree with our terms?”

“It's hard to persuade her.” Meghan draws circles on his chest with her finger, “He is dreaming of taking

charge of the Smith Group and becoming the biggest substantial shareholder.

John curls his lips into a smile as a trace of disdain flashes across his eyes, “He had engaged in the

business world for several decades, yet he still couldn't see through such a trick of Louis.”

He then adds, “They we can use some hard approaches to compel him to agree. He has two sons,

right? Sons, and shares, let's see which one he will choose.”

“You're so cruel.” Megan bites his earlobe and chuckles, “The Smith Group is a big company yet you

want to gulp it down with one bite. Aren't you afraid that things will lose control if you're rushing for

quick results?”

“Then I will divide it and enjoy it slowly.”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“What about me?” Meghan tightens her embrace and says in a soft voice. She leans onto John like soft

noodles as her lips gradually approach his cheek.

John slightly turns his head and comforts in a soft voice, “I have something to deal with yet, you can go

first.”

“John.”

“Get out.” He repeats in a peremptory tone.

Meghan is upset and glances at him, and then reluctantly loosens the grip and leaves the study room.

When there is only John in the room, he unties his necktie and opens the video. As Louis' low voice

comes out from the video and lingers in the study room, John's eyes become colder and colder.

Suddenly, John slams close the laptop. Due to the might, the cover of the computer cracks. The

muscles on John's arms tighten and even his blood vessels are popping up.

John sits on the chair quietly for a long time, and then takes out his phone to dial a lien of numbers.

“Victor, I need your help.”

After hearing John's order, Victor refuses it. It is the first time that Victor has said NO to John's order.

He says worriedly, “Young Master, the doctor has primed us that you should…”

John interrupts him, “Victor, you're not a wordy person.”

“Young Master, I don't want something bad happens to you.”

“Tell me, YES or NO?” John asks, “If you don't agree, I will go find others.”

After a long while, Victor replies helplessly, “Okay, I'll go.”

…

Lily had a ridiculous dream at night.

She dreamed that when she escaped from Country Y and went back home, she changed her name

and decided to marry Jason Smith. But on their wedding, when they were exchanging rings on the

stage, John Dawn suddenly showed up.

Without saying a word, he smiled at her and took out a gun, and then murdered Jason with a single

shot.

Lily is frightened that she wakes up.

“Why did have such a ridiculous dream?” She wipes off the sweats on her forehead.

She divorced Jason long time ago and has had no interaction with him for a long time. Plus, since that

rainy night, she hasn't seen John. But why did she suddenly dream of them?

After washing herself up, Lily walks out of the room yawning. When she is about to go downstairs, she

thinks of Louis and turns to knock on his door.

“President Smith.”

She didn't know how she had gone through last night. As long as Louis took out his phone, she would

be so nervous, fearing that Louis would create a disturbance.

It has been 12 hours, and he must have been sobered up, right?

Soon the door of Louis bedroom is opened. Louis, in leisure wear with his hair messy, looks as

charming and graceful as he is in usual times.

He smiles at Lily, “Hey my wife. Good morning.”

W… wife?

Lily is started that she stops yawning and stares at Louis in confusion.

He still looks graceful, but his gaze is so gentle, with a trace of dizziness in it. He looks completely

different from that normal Louis in usual times!

Lily pats her chest and stammers, “Mr… Mr… Louis, did you drink alcohol last night?”

“Ah, maybe.” Louis ponders for a while and then asks, “Are you mentioning the alcohol in a big glass

jug in the kitchen? It tasted good. But when drinking it, I felt that my throat was burning.”

“…”

She should have thrown away the alcohol. Why did she put it in the kitchen?!

“Honey, you're not dressed well.” Seeing that the belt of Lily's shirt is loosened, Louis caringly helps her

lace it up. But his fingers accidently touch the skin on her waist.

Lily is started and steps backward with her cheeks flushed, “I'll go prepare breakfast, what would you

like?”

Louis looks at her with a trace of tenderness in his deep-set eyes, “I'll enjoy it as long as it is prepared

by you, my dear wife”

Damn, he's so charming and seductive when saying this!

Lily can't bear to stay with him any longer and rushes downstairs.
