Chapter 48 Hes just an ordinary man , but she still couldnt forget him , Trevor thought .
At this moment , although it was quite dark Inside Starlit Villa , Trevors eyes seemed even darker .
53 At Walters Group , everyone was busy in the tall office building .
At 10 a.m.
, Samuel , dressed in a sharp suit , arrived with Melanie , who was also dressed in professional attire .
After all , as the chairman of a company , Samuel carried an air of elegance and authority .
Though his company was sizable , it was no match compared to Walters Group .
Moreover , the issues his company had been facing lately made him feel somewhat anxious and lacking in confidence .
The moment Melanie stepped into the building , she felt a sense of belonging .
It was as if she was destined to be the lady of this place .
Sorry , without an appointment with Mr.
Zoltan , Mr.
Lampard cannot meet with Mr.
Walters , the receptionist replied with a smile after learning that Samuel didnt have an appointment .
Samuel felt slightly embarrassed .
It wasnt that he hadnt tried to make an appointment .
He had called Zach several times , only to be turned down each time .
The reason given was always that Trevor was too busy and suggested he contact the business department directly .
However , the head of the business department always said that cooperation depended not just on timing but also on the quality of their proposal , and whether it met Walters Groups standards .
The entire company had worked overtime for several days , but none of the proposals they submitted were approved .
All of them were sent back .
In the end , there was no way to move forward with the collaboration .
This was an absolute bombshell for the company .
My dad is the chairman of Lampard Group , and today we came specifically to see Mr.
Walters .
Cant you make an exception : Melanie spoke with an air of authority , deliberately emphasizing the word chairman .
This might have worked at other companies front desks , but at Walters Group , the receptionists were used to seeing chairmen and CEOs from various companies .
Unfazed , the receptionist smiled and said , Im sorry .
Melanie frowned in frustration , thinking the receptionist was too rigid and lacking in insight .
Samuels face darkened .
After years of fighting in the business world , it was the first time he felt as though hed been slapped in the face .
He could only force out a faint fine .
He then took out his phone to call Zach .
Coincidentally , Zach had just stepped out of the elevator , and his phone rang at that exact moment .
Zach glanced at the phone and , without any hesitation , declined the call .
This scene was witnessed by both Samuel and Melanie .
Melanie , in her high heels , quickly walked over .
Mr.
Zoltan , can you explain why you hung up on my dads call ? Suddenly confronted by a beautiful woman demanding an explanation , Zach raised an eyebrow and looked her over carefully .
He quickly recognized who she was .
Im busy right now .
If you need anything , please contact me through the reception , Zach replied coldly.
Samuel stepped forward .
He hesitated for a few seconds before directly saying , Mr.
Zoltan , could you spare ten minutes for us to talk ? Samuel was here with personal intentions today .
Besides wanting to figure out why Walters Group had changed its attitude , tre also wanted Trevor to meet his daughter .
The shift in Walters Groups attitude had directly impacted the companys operations , and in just a few days , Lampard Group had lost several projects .
If this continued , they might no longer be able to survive in Jardora .
Mr.
Lampard , Im very busy right now .
As I mentioned before , theres anything , please contact the business department .
I 1/3 10:03 Fri , Oct 18 Chapter 48 ¥ 9.53 % 日 Π dont have the authority to make decisions on these matters .
Zach said with professional coolness , though internally he was a bit curious .
He couldnt help but wonder why Samuel and his family would neglect their biological daughter while favoring a fake one When they help a fake daughter fight against their biological one , dont they feel any guilt ? Besides , Melanie can never compare to Ms.
Thompson .
When signing the marriage agreement , if Ms.
Thompson had asked for Lampard Group to prosper , the family might have now secured a place among the second tier families in Jardora .
But sadly , they dont have the foresight .
Zach thought ..
We just want to meet Mr.
Walters today .
Ive met with him at the Opulence Hotel before .
If you inform him , Im sure he will meet with us .
Melanie said , clearly displeased with Zachs arrogance .

To put it nicely , he was an assistant , and to put it bluntly , he was nothing more than a lackey .
Samuel nodded in agreement .
Yes , I came here today specifically to see Mr.
Walters .
Zach was at a loss for words .
Why are they so shameless ? he wondered .
Mr.
Walters is very busy , and he cant make time today to meet with you .
Mr.
Lampard , Zach replied , losing patience .
Clearly , Ms.
Thompson doesnt want to be entangled with the Lampard family anymore .
Walters Group has rejected Lampard Groups orders , and as a result , its obvious that the Lampard Group is in decline in Jardora , Zach thought .
He had a favorable impression of Kylie as she was both beautiful and knowledgeable in metaphysics .
By contrast , Samuel and Melanie seemed to look down on even him , let alone how they treated others .
If ten minutes is too much , how about just five ? I only need five minutes , Samuel said , now growing anxious .
As the chairman of a company , everyone at his firm treated him with the utmost respect , always bowing and nodding .
But here he was humbling himself before an assistant .
It was hard to accept , but in order to meet Trevor , he was willing to endure it .
Zach shook his head .
Not even one minute , he said .
Just as Melanie was about to make a scene , Zachs phone rang again .
He glanced down and saw it was Kylie .
He answered.
immediately , Ms.
Thompson .
Zach , Im at the entrance of your building , Kylies voice came through Zachs phone .
Earlier that morning , she had visited the Walters residence , and Noreen had asked her to bring some soup over to Trevor .
Noreen had made it herself that morning , a thoughtful gesture from a grandmother to her grandson .
Since Kylie was headed this way , she agreed to drop it off .
Zach immediately headed toward the entrance .
Ms.
Thompson , wait for me , he said as he walked briskly away .
Samuel and Melanie felt even more awkward , unsure whether to leave or stay .
Ms.
Thompson ? Samuel frowned .
Having overheard the conversation , the voice on Zachs phone sounded somewhat like Kylies .
Melanie bit her lip .
Dad , right now … She trailed off as she noticed a familiar figure outside the building .
She was stunned .
Kylie ? Is Kylie here too ? Samuel quickly looked in the direction Melanie was staring .
However , by the time he looked , Zach had already moved to block Kylie from view .
Why would Kylie come to Walters Group ? And how does she know Zach ? Melanie uttered in confusion .
Is that really Kylie ? Samuel hurried toward the entrance .
It had been some time since he had last seen her , and so much had happened since then .
Now that he could finally see her , he felt he had to have a good talk with her .
