Julian’s wedding was three days away. All the noble families in Jadeborough received Julian and Annalise’s wedding
invitations. It was worthy of the Parks family’s reputation, the number one in Jadeborough. The invitations were
exquisitely crafted with blue silk. It was said that each invitation cost more than 400 dollars to make. Julian’s
wedding would be held on the cruise ship. For safety reasons, Julian’s staff would register the families who indicated
their attendance for the wedding. Those who were sent by the families to attend the wedding would have to RSVP
again to obtain the cruise invitation. When they boarded the cruise ship, Julian’s staff would check their cruise
invitation. If an ordinary person told the guests they had to send their RSVP again to get another invitation, many
people would probably curse. Why would they want to attend this wedding? However, this was the Parks family. The
groom was Julian, the number one bachelor of Jadeborough, and the bride was Lee’s daughter, the person in
charge of Jadeborough’s number two company, the Xander Group. It was a grand wedding, the forging of a strong
alliance. Everyone was envious. They felt honored to receive an invitation. The cruise invitation letter was the same
as the wedding invitation. The craftsmanship was exquisite. A trend started catching on among the Jadeborough
circle. They asked each other about the wedding invitations. “Susie, did you get the invitation to Julian’s wedding?”
“Luther, I want to attend Julian’s wedding. Can you help me get an invitation? I’ll go with you. You can say that I’m
your distant cousin.” Others were equally enthusiastic. Alexander also kept himself busy during this period. While
Julian was busy with the wedding, he and Timothy expanded their client base to boost their sales. That day, Jared
took the initiative to ask him out. Jared said that he had a business to discuss with him. Everyone knew that the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcurrent Blake Corporation had changed drastically. However, although Jared was at the end of his rope, he was still
more experienced. He must still have many projects in his hands. Alexander took the afternoon off to meet Jared.
At the clubhouse… Jared arrived ahead of Alexander. Upon seeing Alexander, Jared stood up enthusiastically to
greet him. He took the initiative to shake Alexander’s hands. “Hello, Mr. Parks. Please sit down.” “Hello, Mr. Blake,”
Alexander greeted him politely. After Jared asked Alexander what he wanted to drink, he asked the waiter to
prepare it. Then, the two of them began to talk about the project. Jared said that he now had two clothing
companies, more than 300 apparel stores, and more than ten social media live-streaming accounts with millions of
fans. They were his affiliate marketing partners. He could use them to work with Alexander. “Thank you, Mr. Blake. I
wonder what kind of collaboration you have in mind.” Alexander was very interested in the social media accounts
with millions of fans. “This is the outline of the agreement. Take a look. We can talk about the details later,” Jared
said. “Alright.” Alexander accepted the agreement. He looked at the agreement very quickly and finished scanning
it in a short while. He noticed something. Jared’s offer was too generous. He looked up at Jared and said in surprise,
“Mr. Blake, with your resources, you don’t have to give me such a good offer.” Jared smiled. He said, “Isn’t that
because I sincerely want to be friends with you?” “Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Mr. Blake,” Alexander
said sincerely. “Of course. I hope to be your friend and business partner too, Mr. Blake. Therefore, for our long-term
cooperation, we can change these terms. Here, we can raise the ratio to 30%, which is almost the market price.”
“Alright. We’ll do as you say, Alexander,” Jared said with a smile. “I’ll get someone to rectify the agreement and
send it over.” As he spoke, he called his assistant to change the ratio in the agreement and send it over. After
hanging up the phone, he politely asked Alexander, “Alexander, before signing the agreement, why don’t we order
some dishes and have a meal first?” His form of address had changed from Mr. Parks to Alexander. “Okay,”
Alexander replied with a smile. They had to eat no matter what. It was a suitable opportunity for them to eat, chat,
and discuss the next plan. The main thing was to market the products through those social media accounts. In
those days, live-streaming was a very effective way to sell goods. Jared pressed the service bell, and the waiter
immediately came over politely. Once Jared said he wanted to order some dishes, the waiter immediately brought
the menu to him. Jared politely asked what Alexander felt like having and if he had any dietary restrictions.
Alexander said that he had none and he could eat anything. Jared smiled. “Alright. I’ll order some side dishes, then.”
Although Jared said he would pick some side dishes, everything he ordered was a main course. It was just the two
of them, but he ordered eight dishes, all of which were the restaurant’s signature dishes. After he finished ordering,
the two of them chatted. Jared refilled Alexander’s teacup and took the initiative to talk about the Blake family’s
situation. Jared said, “Many people would envy us who came from wealthy families. But we’re the only ones who
understand our troubles. “We could be a happy family. However, because of the family business and its many
industries, we started fighting against one another. “I’m sure you’ve heard about it, Alexander. My mother gave all
of her shares to my son, Preston. She used to hold 60% of the company’s shares. “I don’t care about having those
shares. After all, I’m already in my fifties. To put it bluntly, I’ll retire in a few years. “However, it was a little
unreasonable for her not to leave any shares for Adam. “They were both her grandsons. I could understand why
she might be a little biased. After all, Preston’s mother was no longer around. It was understandable for her to dote
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmon Preston. “But she did not give Adam anything. No matter what, Adam is her grandson.” He said this to relate to
Alexander and establish a common ground, thinking Alexander was in the same situation. As expected, when
Alexander heard Jared’s words, his expression became somber. He looked a little uncomfortable. His grip on the
teacup tightened as he replied, “Yeah.” Jared took in Alexander’s expression. He sighed again. He said, “As a father,
I want to be fair. After all, they’re both my flesh and blood. However, sometimes, I might be emotionally biased. I
know it’s unfair to Preston, but he shouldn’t blame me. He sees me as an enemy. Our relationship is indeed difficult
to improve.” “Yeah,” Alexander nodded again. What Jared described was very similar to Julian and Tony’s
relationship. Seeing that Alexander was still listening, Jared said, “I’m fighting for the Blake Corporation now. I’m
doing it for two reasons. Firstly, I blame the old lady for not treating me like her son. Secondly, I feel that she’s
being unfair to Adam. I want to fight for the Blake Corporation, and I’ll split it equally afterward. “By the way,
Alexander, I heard that your grandpa will decide his successor based on your and Julian’s performance this time?”
“Yeah,” Alexander said. It was not exactly a secret. Jared asked again, “Do you have an idea of how your grandpa
would distribute the company shares?” He deliberately pushed Alexander’s button to lay the foundation for the
crucial point he would say later. People would only be this ruthless when they were backed into a corner. Alexander
frowned briefly. He said, “Not yet.” Jared fanned the flames again. “Your grandpa is a fair person. He must be
distributing the shares reasonably.” But in his heart, he scoffed. Old Mr. Parks was the same as Madam Blake. They
were extremely biased. He mentioned these things on purpose, trying to provoke Alexander.
