Chapter 693 Talk Over Dinner


    When the couple arrived at the Evans family, Ralph stepped out to wee the two. “Dinner’s been ready for a while. Come in and eat.”


    Dad, there’s no need to be so formal,” Cassandra said with a smile. “If there’s something you need, just talk to Nichs directly.”


    She truly believed that she held a ce in Nichs‘ heart.


    Nichs also spoke. “Mr. Evans, I heard from Cassandra that you wish to discuss something important with me. Let’s talk about that first.”Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    “Well… Let’s talk over dinner,” said Ralph with a beaming smile, ushering the two into the dining room.


    During the meal, Ralph slowly revealed that ever since his return, he had been constantly targeted by others.


    He was rather tactful, not fully disclosing the predicament he found himself in.


    After all, Nichs wasn’t his son–inw yet. He was worried that if Nichs found out that the Evans family was in bad shape, thetter might call off the wedding.


    “That’s all about the matter. It’s not an incredibly severe situation, but it’s not good either.” Ralph observed Nichs‘ expression carefully.


    After listening quietly, Nichs asked calmly, “What’s your n?”


    Ralph choked up. Clearly, he hadn’t expected Nichs to counter–question him.


    He was already out of options and was hoping that Nichs would stand up for him to punish Imminence Corporation.


    “Nichs, could you do me a favor and take over the project I’m currently handling? Once my funds are sufficient for turnover, I’ll take the project back. I promise you won’t incur any losses.” Ralph spoke convincingly, but Nichs had already investigated Evans Group’s situation.


    Nichs gazed at Ralph’s seemingly astute face, saying, “Mr. Evans, this isn’t a trivial matter. Even though I am the CEO of Orion Corporation, I don’t possess that much authority. Come Monday.


    Il convene a meeting to discuss whether to take over Evans Group’s project.”


    Upon hearing that, Ralph felt his heart instantly turning ice cold because Nichs was clearly rejecting him.


    Cassandra assumed that Nichs was genuinely in a difficult situation. “Nichs, I’ve put you in a tough spot”


    “It’s nothing” After Nichs finished speaking, he put down his fork “I’m full. so I’ll head back first”


    “I’ll send you out.” Cassandra rose.


    Unbeknownst to them, it had started to rain again. Nichs stopped her. “I heard your mother is unwell. When you have the time, keep herpany. There’s no need to see me off.”


    “All right.” Cassandra watched him leave.


    When she looked back, she saw Ralph looking worried. “Dad, what’s wrong?”


    “Cassandra, didn’t you catch that earlier? Nichs has no intention of helping us at all,” said Ralph.


    “How could that be? Didn’t he mention that they would make a decision in the meeting?”


    “You’re really too na?ve. No one rejects someone so bluntly these days.”


    Upon hearing those words, Cassandra recalled Nichs‘ recent attitude, yet she still found it hard to believe. “Dad, you must have misunderstood. By Monday, he’ll definitely give you an answer.”


    Upon seeing her unwavering certainty, Ralph could tell that she had fallen deeply in love with Nichs.


    He patted Cassandra’s shoulder. “Cassandra, don’t forget what I’ve always reminded you. You can date, but you must never fall in true love with anyone.”


    Cassandra brushed it off, unconcerned. “I understand, and I’ve always remembered. My feelings. for Nichs are simply fondness, nothing more. Don’t overthink it.”


    “All right.”


    While the two were in conversation, a phone call came through.


    Cassandra picked up her phone, took a look, and frowned.


    “Who is it?” Ralph asked.


    -Who else could it be? It’s my dear mother Pa.” Cassandra was about to hang up the phone, but then she remembered what Nichs had said before he left, so she answered the call, “Mom, what do you need me for?”
