Falling For My Mysterious Wife

Chapter 284

Sue’s matter came to an end for the time being. For Elaina, although it was risky and thrilling, the harvest was abundant.

She checked the factory she got and found Quincy made it successful. Every year, it would get a profit of tens of millions of dollars, which surprised her.

Even if Elaina did nothing, she would earn a lot every year.

She was a little embarrassed. She knew Quincy would agree mostly because of Jalen. If not for Jalen, Quincy would rather fall out with her than compromise.

Elaina hesitated and knocked on Jalen’s door again.

She pushed the door open and entered. Jalen was not resting but handling the company business.

“What’s wrong?” Watching her enter, Jalen thought something had happened.

Elaina walked over and handed over the contract Quincy signed with her. “I checked this factory and found it made a lot of profit every year. If you hadn’t asked, Quincy wouldn’t have agreed.”

“You don’t have to worry about this. Sue is from the Krause family. She is not as worthless as you think,” Jalen comforted.

“You have 40% of the shares in this factory.” Elaina did not expect Jalen to have so many shares.

She thought it was only about five percent.

Jalen closed his laptop and said to her with a smile, “It’s okay. Quincy will compensate me.”

“You don’t have to lie to me. It would be good if he didn’t ask you for compensation.” Elaina was not stupid. She was obviously taking advantage of the deal this time. It would be strange if Quincy could compensate Jalen.

Jalen was a little surprised. He did not expect her to think so much. “He is richer than you think.”

“It doesn’t concern me.” Elaina wanted to make Quincy suffer. She got exactly what she wanted but seemed to owe Jalen a big one.

After hesitating for a moment, she said, “How about this? Your share in the factory will remain unchanged. It will still be 40%.”

“No need.” Jalen shook his head. “I did not do much for this factory. Quincy has been managing it.”

“That was between you and him. Now it is between you and me. It is different.” Elaina did not want to owe Jalen too much.

Whether she liked him or not, she still felt their relationship should be pure.

But Jalen did not like it. He felt uncomfortable that Elaina had to make it so businesslike. “Ella, do you really have to be so practical with me?” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“I am not…”

“You make me feel everything I do is meaningless,” he smiled bitterly and leaned against the headboard, feeling a little disappointed.

For some reason, he felt no matter what he did, it meant nothing to Elaina. Her heart seemed to always be cold.

Elaina felt uncomfortable and quickly explained, “I don’t mean that. I just don’t want to owe you too much.”

“Why? Because you don’t like me?” Jalen did not understand.

“No.” Elaina nodded but then shook her head. “Business is business. It is even more so if I like you.”

Jalen frowned and wasn’t sure about what she meant, but he had some guesses. “What do mean?”

“Jalen, everyone in New York knows you are outstanding. If I really am with you, people will think I am not good enough for you. I don’t want to be treated like this.

“Even if we get together, I have to be your equal instead of your shadow. Do you Jalen was excellent, but Elaina wanted everyone to know she was not bad. you understand?”
