“Lidia, a partner has specifically asked you to meet him. He said he must meet you before he can move forward with the project.”
At the dinner table, Gaston brought up the topic.
Lidia looked up in shock, “Me?”
She had been familiarizing herself with the company’s business this month.
According to her understanding, the Beltran Family was richer than the Hopkins families, with assets worth billions and so many zeros that she could not even count them.
Mr. Beltran said, “As early as a month ago, this partner wanted to cooperate with Beltran’s company and the conditions were exactly the same.”
Lidia frowned, “Why did the other party know that the Beltran Family had a new female heiress? And why did he insist on seeing me?”
The other three people also did not know.
Gaston shared the information he had found. “The company is an established company that has cooperated with Beltran’s and it also has a female CEO.“}
Lidia nodded, “Okay, let’s arrange a meeting.”
As long as the other person was not Jeffry, she could go and meet them.}}
As the heir of the Beltran Family, she must take responsibility. This was what an heir should do and she had to do it herself.
Mrs. Beltran stared at her worriedly, “Lidia, are you okay?“}]
Lidia did not say anything, but Mr. and Mrs. Beltran were still very worried about her.
She appeared to be normal on the outside, but she was actually in turmoil.
Mrs. Beltran said, “Are you sure you have adapted to this kind of life and can stand on your own?“}]
Lidia looked up and saw the worry in her eyes.
“Don’t worry, Mom. I’m sure. Besides, I can handle it with my brother by my side.”
Mr. Beltran kept looking at her, “Lidia, don’t be afraid, we will always be your support, you just need to move forward bravely.“M
“Got it.”
At night, lying in bed, Lidia could not understand why the other party chose to meet her?>
After all, her father and brother were the man who had done business for so long, so simply said, it was a good choice to meet them
instead of her.
She had just returned home to take over the business and was not very familiar with everything after all.”
But if she decided to say goodbye to the past, she should have a brand new future. So, she would take it as an opportunity.}]
She believed that no matter what she did, she could do it well.
The next morning, Lidia got up early and put on matching clothes.
Even though she did not know who the other person was, she wanted to leave a good impression.
Gaston helped her carry her bag and said, “Even if they won’t let me in, I’ll be waiting for you outside. Don’t be afraid.“}]
The drive to the restaurant took an unusually long time and Lidia’s mind was filled with mixed thoughts.”
When they got outside the restaurant, Gaston handed her the bag and said, “Call me if you need anything.“”
The waiter took Lidia inside and came to the outside of a private room.
“Miss, the guests have arrived, please come in.”
The door was not closed tightly. Lidia pushed it open and saw a man standing by the floor–to–ceiling window.
The high heels made a crisp sound as they stepped on the tile floor and the other person turned around after hearing the sound.
Lidia’s breath hitched.
“Peter?” Lidia murmured, staring at him blankly.
The man was wearing a black suit, he had an upright posture, handsome features and exuded confidence.
“Lidia, long time no see.“}]

His familiar words almost made Lidia fall. She held on to the conference table and stood there blankly.
She thought she would see the president of the cooperative company, but that person was definitely not Peter Hunter.}
“Why are you here?” Lidia asked sharply, “Is Jeffry here too?”
Peter was Jeffry’s rival and the two of them usually fought to the death in the business world.”
After returning home, Jeffry often scolded him for his cunning and insidiousness.
She often saw his photos and interviews in financial magazines and that was how she knew him, but that was all.
They were rivals on the surface, but the two were undoubtedly tied together.”
“No, I came to see you.“}
Peter pulled out a stool beside the table and sat down, staring at her. “Lidia, I’ve been looking for you.”

Peter pulled out a stool beside the table and sat down, staring at her. “Lidia, I’ve been looking for you.”
Lidia was confused. Peter knew her past and came to her specially. What did he want to say?”
She lowered her head and clenched her hands. “If you want to ridicule me or persuade me to go back, there’s no need to do that.”
“Don’t be impatient, just listen to me, okay?”
Peter looked at her with a calm tone, as if he was certain that she would not leave.!!
“Haha, why should I listen to you? I know that you and Jeffry are sworn enemies. You came to me just to start with me and take revenge on Jeffry, right?”
Lidia was frighteningly calm. When she saw Peter, she thought of this.
The two men were at loggerheads in the domestic business world, taking advantage of any weakness of the other.}}
“Lidia, I will never use you as a bargaining chip.”
Lidia was surprised to find that she actually felt sincerity in these words.
But she was not familiar with him and all she knew about him came from Jeffry, who said that he was cunning and cold–blooded. Lidia did not know how he found her before Jeffry, but she knew that she did not want to stay there and share a room with him.
“I think we shouldn’t meet today. Once you leave this door, just pretend you haven’t seen me.“}
Lidia stood up and prepared to leave when she heard his voice.
“Lidia, don’t you want to take revenge on Jeffry? After you ran away from the marriage, he married Pamela.“W
Hearing the inevitable result, her heart ached and a nonchalant smile appeared on her face.M
