Chapter 260 The Tripartite Cooperation

On TV, Manuel’s face looked cold and handsome. He sounded inexplicably strange “Back then,

when I decided to hire Ainsley Easton as my sister’s psychologist, I had fully taken into account her professionalism. Dr. Easton remained professional the whole time and had given my sister several courses of treatment. The accident that happened at the school gate was not because of Dr. Easton, but because three hours before that, my sister was kidnapped and stimulated…”

Ainsley turned off the TV. She knew why Manuel responded to this matter. It was all to help her.

The most direct result was that after Manuel accepted this interview, the Internet gradually became less angry with Ainsley. After all, although Nancy’s matter had that piece of paper, the police and Raymond had already released all useful information.

After the interview, Manuel packed up his things and was about to leave, but he did not expect to

see Irene.

“Manuel.” Irene smiled playfully as if nothing had happened between them. It was like they went back to a few years ago.

“What are you doing here?” Manuel glanced at her with a grave expression.

“Mr. Sullivan wants to see us. I called you just now, but you didn’t answer. I was just nearby, so I

came by.”

“Mr. Sullivan wants to see us?” Manuel frowned slightly. The closeness between Ormus and Irene

had far exceeded that between Ormus and him.

At Present cafe, Manuel and Irene walked into the private room. Ormus had been waiting for a long

time.

After a simple greeting, Manuel sat down and gently placed his hands on the table. No matter what, Applegath was a multinational group. Manuel had to show some respect.

“Mr. Gage, Ms. Wade, I called you here because Minimax Group and my company have a several– hundred–million–dollar deal. We need to order the parts from you. But this time, the two of you can decide whether to continue the tripartite cooperation or Applegath directly works with one of you.”

Manuel looked dignified. He suddenly understood what Ormus meant. The reason why all three of them were present was nothing more than to facilitate the cooperation between the three parties. This was because whether it was the Wade Group or the Gage Group that got kicked out, Applegath would also be unhappy.

“Continue the tripartite cooperation,” Manuel said lightly.

He knew very well that if he continued the tripartite cooperation, he would be stuck with the Wade Group for good.

The cooperation between the Wade Group and the Gage Group was already very close. There were multi–party contracts that tied them tightly together like a knot, and this three–party contract was

more like an encased knot.

Irene smiled and said, “I agree.”

In Matteo’s house, Ainsley hid the painting Serina drew at the bottom of the bookcase. She didn’t

want to face it.

Manuel’s girlfriend should be that woman, even though she didn’t want to admit it.

Manuel walked into the Easton’s house. The main reason he came here today was to take his sister

home.

As soon as he entered, he saw Serina sitting quietly on the sofa and waiting for him to come. Meanwhile, Ainsley raised her head from a pile of documents and smiled bitterly at him.

“Aisy, how is Serina?”

“Mr. Strato, although Serina seems fine now, it is only because she is not panicking or sensing danger. If you insist on taking her back, you must remember not to let her face any stimulation or harm. As long as she feels threatened, she will lose control even if there is not any substantial

harm.”

Ainsley lowered her eyes. She did not tell Manuel the more important thing, which was that Serina. especially relied on and trusted Ainsley. This might be related to her memories from three years ago, but Ainsley had yet to find out the real reason.

Serina might be better off staying with Ainsley because she did not feel like she could depend on anyone else.

“I will keep an eye on her.” Manuel picked up Serina and was about to walk out when he was stopped by Ainsley.

“Wait a minute.”

Manuel turned around in confusion and saw Ainsley holding the painting in front of him. “This is

yours.”

“Mine?” Manuel looked over. He did not recognize the person in the painting. He looked at Serina and asked, “Serina drew this?”

At first glance, Manuel guessed that the woman in the painting was Ainsley.

“Yes, Mr. Gage. If you really like someone, just go for them. Don’t hide your feelings.” Ainsley said snappily.

Manuel looked at the painting, puzzled. He wondered if Ainsley was encouraging him to pursue her.

“Aisy, my grandpa really wants to see Sabrina now. I will come to visit you next time I’m free.”

“That won’t be necessary.”

The next day was the day to sign the contract.

Something was about to happen.

Irene, Ormus, and Manuel had just finished signing the contract. When Irene and her staff were about to leave first, they heard a strange voice.

“Ms. Wade, wait.”

“Ms. Easton, what can I do for you?” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Ms. Wade, there are only the two of us now. You don’t have to pretend anymore, do you?” Ainsley’s

voice was low.

Irene sneered, “Ms. Easton, I really don’t understand what you are talking about.”

“It has already come to this. I have asked questions from Nancy’s family. Do you still want to continue pretending?” Ainsley stared at Irene with sharp eyes.

Irene was still smiling elegantly. “Ms. Easton, I still have a lot of work to do. I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense here.”

Irene was about to leave when she was stopped by Ainsley again.

“You can’t leave!”

Irene sneered, “Ms. Easton, please step aside. I really have something to do. Otherwise, I will call

security.”

Ainsley took out Nancy’s phone and clicked open her chat window with Irene. “This is you, right?”

Irene looked at it for a while and suddenly approached Ainsley. She whispered in her ear, “So what

if it’s me?”

“Why did you ask Nancy to go to the rooftop that day? Her brother already said that it was you gave her the chocolate.” Ainsley narrowed her eyes slightly.

Irene’s smile froze. “I don’t know what that is or what you are talking about. I feel deeply regretful about Nancy’s death, but the Internet is all accusing you of being the murderer, isn’t it? If you have any questions, just call the police on me.”

“Yes, I will!” Ainsley said solemnly.

“Then don’t stop me here.” Irene was amused.

At this time, Manuel and Ormus walked out of the room. When Manuel saw Ainsley, he was even

stunned.

“Ms. Wade, what’s wrong?” Ormus looked at Ainsley confusedly.

“Mr. Sullivan, I’m fine. I’m just in a little trouble.” Irene showed her gentlest smile.

Ormus looked at her and asked, “Do you need help?”

“No, thanks, Mr. Sullivan. You can go back first. I believe Manuel will help me.” Irene gave Manuel a meaningful look.
