Flash Marriage: My Penniless Billionaire Husband

Nanny Daisy nodded.

Old Mr. Allson fell into deep thought. He finally understood what was going on. He thought,

It seemed that I had to buy a few more.>

Thinking of this, Old Mr. Allson hummed a happy song.

When Christopher came out of the laundry, he saw his grandpa humming a song as he walked. It seemed that grandpa was in a good mood.

He suddenly thought of the bowl that his grandfather had given him last night before he went to sleep. He frowned while walking over and asking, "Grandpa, what did you give me last night?"

When Old Mr. Allson heard his grandson’s question, he quickly said, "It’s a tonic." "Is it really just tonics?" Christopher demonstrated his doubts.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Old Mr. Allson’s face. He retorted, "Otherwise, what do you think it is?"

After saying that, he did not dare to stay any longer and just turned around and walked out.

Christopher frowned and wondered, "Is it really just a tonic?"

After breakfast, Christopher answered a phone call and left. Before leaving, he kissed Janice on the cheek and said, "Honey, I’ll be back soon."

Janice nodded. However, as soon as he left, she stood up and walked out as well.

After all, it was so strange to ask for leave for such thing. Moreover, the ratings of the show last were great, so she had to take the opportunity to work harder.

She called to cancel the break. When she arrived on the third floor of the TV station, she found that it was quite quiet inside.

Strange silence.

When she walked into the office area, she found that there was no one inside.

Janice felt strange.

She thought,

How could they all be absent?>

She picked up her phone and was about to make a phone call to ask, but suddenly.

Bang! A deafening explosion resounded, and a shower of fireworks descended from the sky.

Then, the lights in the office were turned on, and her colleagues magically came out.

The director of the show stepped forward with a big cake in his hand.

"The ratings of our show reach so high. It’s all thanks to Janice. Thank you for your hard work."

Janice gazed at them, her eyes red and filled with gratitude.

All the doubts she had suffered during this period had vanished with her colleagues’ congratulations.

"Thank you all. This is the result of our joint efforts."

Janice said emotionally.

At this time, Lucy came over from behind the crowd with a bouquet of flowers in her hand.

"Janice, congratulations, hope you set a new record in the future."

Janice blinked when she saw Lucy, then she asked, "Why are you here?"

Lucy passed the bouquet to her and whispered, "I skipped work for you today."

Janice laughed.

"Thank you."

Her colleagues dispersed while eating the cake. Lucy held up her phone and said. "Janice, you are popular. Look, you have millions of fans on Facebook."

"Really?" Janice was surprised. She was busy reading the official account last night and did not check her own account.

"Yes! Look."

Lucy handed the phone over.

When Janice saw that the number of fans had increased to millions, her heart was filled with excitement.

She had never thought that she would have so many fans one day.

Just as she indulged in her happiness.

Lucy touched her arm and asked, "Why is she here?"

Janice followed her gaze and saw Denise slowly walking over.

This was the first time she had seen Denise since they met at the entrance of the television station that day.

She seemed to be different from before. Although she was still wearing a tailored professional suit and exquisite makeup, her aura was completely different.

"Director Kelshore."

...

"Director Kelshore?"

At this time, all the staff here saw her and someone went up to her and said, "Director Kelshore, you’ve come just at the right moment. We’re celebrating the success of the premiere."

However, Denise said in a frigid voice, "I’m here today as the secretary of Bateman Group’s chairman. Ms. Gladwell, our chairman wants to see you. Come with me, please."

She glanced at Janice.

"Secretary of Bateman Group’s chairman? What’s going on?"

"I don’t know."

The crowd began to discuss spiritedly.

Lucy also looked at Janice in confusion.

Janice silently stood there. The chairman of Bateman Group. Well, she probably knew who wanted to see her.

She nodded and said, "Okay."

Then she turned to the person in charge of the show and said, "I’ll be back soon." Then, she followed behind Denise.

Denise didn’t say a word on the way. She just walked in front of her, acting as guide.

Since Denise ignored her, Janice wouldn’t take the initiative to go looking for trouble.

Even if she really wanted to know why he wanted to see her.

After all, because of him, her reporters’ certificate had once been revoked.

She knew that she was not recognized by him.

But she didn’t know what this sudden meeting was about.

Janice followed Denise all the way to the underground garage of the TV station.

Denise stopped in front of a black Phaeton. "Hop in, the chairman is waiting for you in the car."

She stared straight ahead in a cold manner.

Janice’s gaze fell on the car. She hesitated for a moment and finally walked over.

When she stood beside the car, a middle-aged man opened the door.

Janice nodded, her feet stepping inside.

There was large space inside the car, with two rows of seats facing each other.

There was an old man in his fifties or sixties sitting in it. His eyes were tightly shut, but an awe-inspiring aura exuded from his very bones, making others shivering.

Janice knew that the person in front of her was her father-in-law, Christopher’s father.

This should be their first meeting.

Normally, when the younger generation met an elder for the first time, the younger one had to bow, even if they hadn’t introduced themselves properly.

Then Janice took the initiative to step forward and bow.

"Hello, Mr. Bateman."

Only then did Nathan slowly open his eyes. His cold gaze landed on Janice.

He seemed to look at an outsider who had nothing to do with him.

"Have a seat."

Both his expression and voice were indifferent as if she was a totally stranger to him.

Janice knew that she was a stranger to the Batemans.

She didn’t care about it and walked over to sit down.

Nathan glanced at her coldly.

"I think you have already known who I am."

Janice nodded. How could she not know?

Christopher really took after the man in front of her.

Nathan said directly, "Since you’ve knew who I am, let me be straight with you. Leave Chris."

He spoke in a commanding tone.

His words still shocked Janice. Even though she had guessed that he hadn’t come for anything good, she hadn’t expected him to say something like this.

When she was about to say something, she was interrupted by him.

"I’ll give you a sum of money. The shares Chris has invested in the Gladwell Group will not be withdrawn, and will be transferred into your name. I think as long as you don’t squander this money, it’s enough for you to spend it for the rest of your life."

Janice was totally stunned by his words.

...

Even though she already knew that the Batemans didn’t like her.

She didn’t expect that he would talk about money as soon as he saw her.

So in the eyes of the Batemans, she was just that greedy?

She paused and continued, "Do you think I married him because of money?"

"Didn’t you?"

Nathan asked.

Janice replied, "Of course not. To be honest, when I married him, I didn’t even know who he was."

Upon hearing her words, Nathan sneered.

"Isn’t this the trick that you girls usually use? You just pretend not to know, but in fact, you have already investigated him clearly. And you are a reporter, I don’t think it would be hard for you to do it."

Janice was speechless. She never expected that her profession would be slandered like this.

"You can doubt me, but you can’t question my professional quality." Janice was a bit angry. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

However, Nathan didn’t care. "Don’t try to use chicanery. I don’t want to know your purpose. Just tell me, apart from money, what else do you want? As long as they’re not too outrageous, I’ll satisfy you."

His tone was extremely contemptuous.

Janice knew that no matter how she tried to explain, it would be futile. She could be afraid of his aura, but she couldn’t lose her dignity.

"I see." She said.

"Whether or not you believe me, I have never thought about those things."

"Young lady, let me give you a piece of advice. Enough is enough. Don’t daydream about the person that doesn’t belong to you. The story of Prince and Cinderella only exists in fairy tales."

"I know, but I am not Cinderella. I have my own career. Perhaps it is nothing to you, but I will rely on my own ability to support myself."

"Your own ability? Are you talking about your show?" Nathan sneered, "Do you really think you got it by yourself?" "What do you mean?" Janice frowned.

Nathan said, "It’s not good to make some things too clear."

Janice was furious because this was an insult to her.

"I don’t quite understand what you’re talking about, but there’s one thing I have to make clear. I won’t leave Christopher unless he doesn’t need me..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up and bowed to Nathan. "I’m leaving now."

When she was about to get out of the car.

Nathan said, "Don’t be too confident. Think about it and if you figure it out, find my secretary."

Nathan’s voice came from behind.

Janice directly got out of the car without replying.

When she got out of the car, she met Denise’s gaze.

There was a hint of mockery in her eyes.

It was as if she was saying, "See? You’re just so-so."

Janice tolerantly looked away.

No matter what others thought, she would not compromise.

She walked past Denise, looking steadily forward.

Denise glanced at her departing figure and then got in the car.

"Chairman."

Nathan looked at her and said.

"It seems that she doesn’t know how to appreciate favors."

After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes.

Denise knew very well what those words meant. She sneered in her heart and thought, "She probably still didn’t know what the chairman could do."

After Janice walked out of the underground garage, she kept thinking about Nathan’s words.

Anyway, she would never leave Christopher.

She made up her mind silently. Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a call from Christopher.

Janice calmed herself down and answered the call. "I told you to rest at home. Why did you go to work?"
