Chapter 312 She Looks Down On You
“Mr. Levi, since you’re this sincere, there’s no need for me to beat around the bush, then.” Putting down
his glass, Caleb said, “Why don’t you come over to my office tomorrow and get the papers signed?”
“That’d be great!” Levi did not expect that things would go so smoothly.
Looking at Gizem, he praised, “You are undoubtedly my Lady Luck!”
Gizem could not respond to that. I’m pretty sure I did nothing, though.
“How’s the factory’s location selection, Mr. Levi?” Caleb asked curiously.
“I have yet to come to an agreement with the other party regarding this,” Levi answered helplessly.
“Is the other party Samuel Macari?”

Levi nodded in acknowledgment.
Caleb scoffed, “Mr. Levi, you might not be aware of this, but my late wife was Samuel’s ex-wife. Hence,
we can be said to be nemeses.”
Levi’s expression changed at once. “Are you being serious?”
“Of course. However, he removed everything about his ex-wife on the internet four years ago. Nobody
knows the reason for this, and such information is still unreleased. Moreover, no one in the city dares to
mention it, so it’s only natural that you guys don’t know about it.”
Levi frowned.
“So what you’re saying is that if we acquire land from Samuel, you won’t work with us anymore?” Gizem
voiced her inquiry indifferently.
“That’s right.” Caleb remained aloof.
“Based on what I know, we’ll still need Samuel’s help after we start our factory to transport our machinery
here from overseas. Are you saying that you don’t want us to work with him completely?” she asked
apathetically.
“Yes.” Caleb narrowed his eyes as he spoke.
“Mr. Lewis, you should know that we don’t want to offend any of you. Don’t you think you are crossing the
line a little here?” Gizem’s bright eyes looked icy.
Levi also thought that Caleb was going overboard with that request.
This was clearly making them choose sides.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Levi. I’ll find you a suitable location.” Caleb earnestly continued, “I’ll make sure to help
you solve whatever worries you might have. That way, you won’t need to work with Samuel at all.”
Levi gave it some thought. That sounds reasonable. I think I should agree to it.
Yet, Gizem chimed in, “If that’s the case, we’ll consider it. Please excuse us.”
She then led Levi away.
“Levi, you need to be careful.” Gizem sounded serious as she advised, “Caleb and Samuel have
personal grudges. I don’t think we should get involved.”
“But if we don’t take up on his offer, we can’t start our factory.” Levi was visibly concerned.
“You don’t have to worry about that. Before I came here, Master mentioned that we could seek help from
Chanaea’s upper echelon. The medicine we develop will bring benefits to the country. To make sure that
we are willing to stay, they will surely help us solve our issues.” Gizem emphasized, “However, it is
important that we don’t get involved in things we shouldn’t.”
Levi nodded in agreement.
Standing not too far from them, Caleb narrowed his eyes as he scrutinized Gizem.
I see. That woman is crucial in this. Levi’s family and the mysterious Windwell Corporation are related.
Moreover, I’ve discovered that Kathleen’s disappearance all those years ago had something to do with
that organization. I did some digging on Levi but found nothing. But now, I have a lead, starting with this
woman.
Levi gazed at Gizem. “What should we do next?”
Suddenly feeling a sharp gaze on her back, Gizem turned to look behind her but found nothing out of the
ordinary.
With her brows scrunched up, she answered, “We’ll put things on hold for now. I’ll contact the higher-
ups.”
Levi agreed with a nod. “Then, let’s do that. I’ll go talk to Samuel in the meantime.”
“Sounds good.”
“Go get yourself some food. I’ll be back,” he suggested.
“Mm.”
Levi soon strode toward Samuel, who was the center of attention at the moment.
Gizem felt that the strange gaze she sensed a moment ago came from where Samuel was.
Nonetheless, she could not confirm that.
Anything business related was not something she needed to worry about.
She would only get involved in anything that was too tricky for Levi to handle.
If there weren’t any issues, she would never interfere with Levi’s decisions.
While Levi went to do his work, she went to get some food.
Strawberry cake was one of her favorites, so she got herself a slice.
All of a sudden, her back felt cold.
It was then she heard a sarcastic voice saying, “Oh, my. Sorry about that. I didn’t see you there. I can’t
believe I accidentally ruined your dress.”
Gizem turned around instinctively.
Lo and behold, Joanna was there with a wine glass in hand.
Accidentally? She clearly did it on purpose.
Gizem picked up a glass of wine next to her and flung the contents toward Joanna without hesitation.
Slamming the wine glass back down, she uttered, “Oh, I’m so sorry. That was an accident too.”

“Right back at you,” Gizem retorted.
“You little wench!” Joanna had planned to present herself elegantly in front of Samuel, but even her
makeup was wholly ruined by Gizem now.
Gizem was never one to stand down. It was clear that holding back was something she would never do.
Currently, Levi was conversing with Samuel.
Hearing the commotion, he turned toward its direction.
“Mr. Macari, is that woman your girlfriend?” Levi asked as soon as he spotted Joanna.
Samuel replied impassively, “Who are you referring to?”
“That woman in the black dress.” Levi frowned. “She and my girlfriend had a bit of a dispute this
afternoon in a store.”
Girlfriend?
Samuel’s icy-cold eyes were on the man. “Gizem is your girlfriend?”
Levi replied with a nod.
Strangely, Samuel felt uncomfortable upon hearing that.
Levi had already reached Gizem’s side before he took off his coat and draped it on her.
Since her dress was the figure-hugging kind, the outline of her lingerie could clearly be seen after being
drenched in red wine.
“Thanks.” Gizem appreciated the gesture.
“No worries; I’ll back you up.” Levi swiveled around. “You crazy woman, have you lost it? Did you not
create enough of a ruckus this afternoon in the store? You were the one who couldn’t afford the dress,
yet you were adamant that the dress was yours! Do you think you’re that great of a deal just because
you are Samuel’s girlfriend?”
The onlookers were in shock. Soon, whispers sounded in the room.
“Samuel’s girlfriend? Has Samuel finally decided to date someone?”
“That can’t be! Everyone knows he said he would never marry again because of his late wife!”
“Men are only ever good at one thing, and that’s lying to women! As soon as they meet a young and
beautiful woman, they’ll have their fun even if they don’t marry her. All that stuff about true love is all a
lie!”
“If Joanna really is Samuel’s girlfriend, then it’s going to get chaotic soon.”
“That’s true. Yareli has been after Samuel for a long time. She might not be better in terms of looks and
background compared to Joanna, but if Joanna becomes Samuel’s official girlfriend and not her, she’ll
definitely be the butt of the joke!”
“She’s not my girlfriend.” Samuel walked over with a gloomy expression and a cold air around him.
Joanna was embarrassed in an instant. As she looked at Samuel cautiously, she mumbled, “Mr. Macari,
can’t you help me out this time for my father’s sake? It was that woman who picked on me first.”
The man coldly responded, “Why should I do a liar a favor?”
She bit her lower lip. “But when I said I was your girlfriend, she didn’t even back down. So doesn’t that
mean she looks down on you?”
