Chapter 15 - What a Small World (2/2)

Seven years ago, his father ran away, taking all the money of their investors, leaving their family business in demise. As the eldest child, Hero was the one who'd shouldered all the problems his father left, as well as his debts. His father had left a huge debt, and Hero had to take up the place as the next head of the family to support his younger siblings.

Li Group of Companies started from shambles. Hero was the one who made strenuous efforts to bring it to its current glory.

Stephen Jiang was one of the investors whom he had to pay. After swallowing his pride, Hero attempted to ask an extension to pay his father's debt, but Stephen Jiang refused and forced him to pay the exact amount in two weeks.

Not having enough connections and experience in handling business, Hero was left to his own devices to solve the problem as soon as possible. He was able to pay the debt, but the refusal left a hard impact on him that he still bore a grudge against the man he thought was a friend of his father.

But Luna Jiang isn't her father. The difference between the two Jiangs was obvious to Hero's eyes. Luna didn't bear the same greed as her father. His eyes continued to read Luna's details, and he was quite amused to find out that she exceeded his expectations.

”She left the Jiang Corporation?” It sounded more like he was stating a fact than asking a question.

”Yes. Miss Jiang left the company three years ago after her sister got a promotion. It wasn't clear why she left since there were no records stating the reason about her sudden resignation but …”

Hero lifted his gaze and waited for Daryl to continue. Daryl felt a lump form in his throat under his master's gaze.

”Well, it was just a rumor so I didn't include it to the report—”

”Tell me.”

”It was said that there was a rivalry between her and her sister. Apparently, Miss Sienna Jiang offended Miss Luna so the latter left and renounce her affinity to her own father.”
