Chapter 139 Wrong Gift, Wrong Timing
He had actually given her the wrong thing. This might just kill him for real.
Louis shot a glare at Valery. “Why didn’t you remind me?”
An apology gifi—a ring? What the heck was that supposed to mean?
Valery replied, “I did ask you. You said it was for Ms. Dawson, so I didn’t dare say anything else.”
Everyone at the Parker Group knew Louis hated when people tried to guess what he was thinking. He’d said it was for Stella, so Valery hadn’t dared to say another word.
Now, seeing the look on his face, Valery asked hesitantly. “Did you give her the wrong thing?”
“Have you ever seen someone apologize by giving a ring?”
Louis‘ tone was practically biting.
Valery fell silent. Exactly!
She had wanted to say something at the time, but Louis had been so on edge about Sharon and Stella’s argument–his face had been downright terrifying.
Valery couldn’t help asking. “So what now? Want me to ask for it back?”
The moment those words left her mouth, Louis shot her a withering glare. Valery instantly shut up.
Ask for it back? Once Louis gave something away, he never took it back.
But apologizing with a ring…
Louis felt a headache coming on.
He couldn’t exactly take it back now, but something in his gut told him that ring was going to cause real trouble.
Sure enough, right then, Louis‘ phone rang. It was Abel. He instantly put on a calm face and picked up. “Mr. Abel.”
“Our boss says we have no plans to export our mineral resources. Mr. Louis, you don’t need to waste your energy

“What? No plans to export? But you were clearly in the process of selecting overseas partners-
Before Louis could finish, the call cut off,
He sat there, stunned.

And now they weren’t exporting? His thoughts jumped to Sharon arguing with Stella, and to the look on Abraham’s face at the tume–ice cold.
Then he remembered Abel’s words on the phone… and the ring. Don’t tell me he saw it.
Louis sucked in a sharp breath, his head throbbing with unbearable pain,
He thought for a second, then turned to Valery. “Get me Stella’s number.”

Chapter 139 Wrong Gift, Wrong Timing
Based on what Stella had told him before, the one rule when working with Abraham was to never from the Dawson family.
So calling Stella now was out of the question. Forget it. I’ll deal with it tomorrow.
Just then, Alex called. “Hey, I’m downstairs at your building. I came to pick up the

Damn it. He couldn’t even keep his own teoman in line, and now I’m getting dragged into this mess over some stupidring. What now? Giving that ring to Stella… did I just seriously piss off Abraham!
Abraham’s feelings for Stella were anything but simple, as shown by the way he handled the Tom family incident.
This was all Alex’s fault. If it weren’t for him. Louis wouldn’t be in this mess.
Now what the heck am I supposed to dor
Just thinking about what happened to the Tom family made Louis shudder. Abraham was no joke.
Louis suddenly snapped, catching Alex off guard. “What’s your problem? Don’t tell me you gave the ring to Marlon?”
“Gave it to who? You idiots can’t even manage your own wives. Don’t go around saying you know me.”
“Hey! What’s with the attitude?”
They were just talking fine a minute ago. What the heck was this?
Alex sounded ticked off. “Tell me the truth–did you give the ring to Marlon?”
Marion! Louis was already drowning in this disaster and had zero patience left. He hung up.
The very sound of the word “ring” now made his blood boil. Stupid ring, absolute nightmare
But as soon as he ended the call, Alex called back again. Tell me the truth–did you give the ring to Marlon?”
“Stop pushing me”
Louis was about to blow.
Alex shot back, “What if I did?”
Louis went quiet; it felt like he’d been hit by a ton of bricks.
Valery, listening nearby, couldn’t help twitching at the corners of her mouth. What a scene!
Over at Verdant Villa, Abraham had left after dinner. He didn’t return until midnight.
