Hewin Consortium was the biggest multinational economic and trading consortiums of the city. On the basis of mutual benefit, the heads of Hewin Consortium and Qiao Group had decided to form an alliance by marriage.

Qiao Group was relatively new, but in recent years, it had gained momentum.

At a land bid, it even beat Hewin Consortium and got the land in the end. Hewin Consortium had always been the winner of all kinds of bids before.

This time, Qiao Group had made the bid too high. If Hewin Consortium kept bidding, it would lose money.

No businessman would choose to lose money, so Hewin Consortium dropped out of the bid.

Afterwards, Randal blew a fuse. Felix was shocked. He hadn’t seen his father that mad for a long time.

Offshore, covered with greenery, the land was like a utopia. A top-notch choice for development.

But Qiao Group had gotten the land at an extremely high price. Actually, it had lost money in that deal.

Felix didn’t understand why Qiao Group had done it, but he was sure about one thing— Qiao Group would become a threat to Hewin Consortium.

Actually, the reason Qiao Group had been so determined to get that land was very simple—Kelsey Qiao's wife Hester Gao liked the land.

Everybody thought it was a bad deal, because it was profitless, but Kelsey, the CEO of Qiao Group was thrilled about it.

During a conversation, Hester had randomly mentioned that she loved that land, saying that it was a great place to build a garden in the air.

Hearing this, Kelsey ordered without thinking that Qiao Group had to get that land at any cost.

Nothing was more important than to make his wife happy.

So the reason was simple, but many people didn’t understand. And few people would do what Kelsey had done for their beloved ones. Maybe they just didn’t love enough.

At least, Felix had only thought of the benefits the land would bring Hewin Consortium

The Qiao Group’s strength was increasing rapidly. It was very clear that it would become a threat to Hewin Consortium very soon. By then, Hewin Consortium might not be able to compete with it. Felix was worried.

To eliminate the threat, Felix came up with the idea of forming a matrimonial alliance with Qiao Group.

To maximum the benefits was his thing.

Nigel was distant and rebellious. Felix knew he wouldn’t agree with him, so he thought of his younger son, who was more obedient to him.

But Preston also had a temper.

Felix couldn’t just ask him to marry someone he had never met, just for the company’s sake. As an old fox, Felix knew Preston wouldn’t do it.

But he also knew how much his younger son cared about his mom. He always listened to her.

And Sienna always listened to Felix.

So he talked to Sienna and convinced her first.

Sure enough, in the end, Preston agreed to marry Kelsey Qiao’s daughter, a total stranger to him.

Felix didn’t know how Sienna did it. And he couldn’t care less. He had achieved his goal, that was all that mattered to him.

Next, he had to persuade Kelsey. That wouldn’t be easy.

Kelsey had only one daughter—Madeline.

And that girl was well-known for being weird, bad-tempered, and headstrong. Nobody could handle her.

Despite the flaws, as the heir to Qiao Group, she was spoiled.

She was the apple of her father’s eye. Kelsey had doted on her since she was a little girl.

He never said no to her. He gave her everything she wanted. On the other hand, he also gave her everything he thought was good for her, even if she didn’t want it.

Madeline had an older brother, Blake Qiao. That was to say, Kelsey had a son and a daughter.

However, it was Madeline instead of Blake who held the position of general manager of Qiao Group. Blake was only a department manager.

It was strange because usually it was the eldest son who was going to inherit the company.

Some speculated that Blake must have angered his father, so Kelsey didn’t like him and let his daughter run the company instead.

In fact, Madeline and Blake were close. And Kelsey loved his son as well as his daughter.

It was just that Blake insisted on starting with a lower position. Kelsey had agreed to his decision.

Madeline, on the other hand, wanted to be the general manager. Kelsey had agreed to that too. The family wasn’t affected by the arrangements at all. They were happy and harmonious as always.

In the beginning, the company was full of complaints about Madeline. She was young and had never worked in the company before. Now suddenly, she was the general manager. The employees thought she must have a powerful family background. When they knew that she was the CEO’s daughter, they were even more unhappy with her, because they assumed Madeline had taken up the position only because of her dad and she knew nothing about business.

However, later on, Madeline proved herself to be competent. She was efficient, serious, and strict.

After she had dealt with several cases perfectly,

the employees were convinced that she was a qualified, capable general manager. They accepted her and even became loyal to her.

Therefore, at home, Madeline was pampered and willful; at work, she was competent and efficient.

Meanwhile, she was a beauty with a voluptuous contour.

If he could, Felix would have married her himself.
