Return Of The Prodigy
Return of the Prodigy Chapter 22

There she was - Katie, her black hair flowing, cheeks flushed, her fair and smooth neck as elegant and beautiful as a swan. The shallow collarbones resembled a fish nest, exuding a sexy and charming allure. Two thin straps were fastened on her shoulders, and the meticulously tailored swimsuit hugged her impressive curves...

A fine, rainbow-colored muslin was tied around her waist. It fluttered in the wind in a way that reminded one of the ripples on the surface of a lake. Below the shawl, a sky-blue swimsuit extended only to the roots of her thighs, leaving her two long and straight legs completely exposed in the air, catching Adam's gaze.

She walked around barefoot on the carpet, checking herself out uncertainly, smiling one moment and scowling the next.

Beautiful without being enchanting, sexy yet not lacking in elegance.

Adam was momentarily stunned.

"As I said, Mom was even prettier. Dad can't keep his eyes off of her," said Annie happily.

Adam coughed and hurried to look in another direction, feeling rather embarrassed.

Katie blushed even more, glared at Adam, and scolded, "No more reckless spending in the future. These clothes... are very expensive."

She had just discovered that the clothes were all fancy brands, and each one came with a hefty price tag when she went to change into the swimsuit.

"Oh,got it." Adam quickly responded.

"Hehe, Mom, look, Dad's face is red..." Annie clapped her hands and exclaimed joyfully.

Katie glanced at Adam with a slight surprise. She didn't expect Adam to be so shy. Could it be that in these six years, he had never looked at, at other women?

Shaking her head to dispel the chaotic thoughts, Katie picked up Annie and walked towards the swimming pool.

"Little rascal, you really like to run your mouth, don't you? You're in for a good spanking if you don't pay attention now."

"Hehe, Mom wouldn't bear to do that." Annie jumped into the water, splashing a wave of water.

"Take it slow." Katie quickly followed into the water, completely soaked. In an instant, the mountain was no longer shrouded in mist, revealing its majestic beauty. The curves exposed were captivating.

Katie and Annie were like two mermaids swimming in the water, while Adam sat by the pool quietly enjoying the scene, calm and satisfied.

...

The next day came in a blink of an eye.

Peter was wearing an elegant suit and seemed to be in high spirits. He had gone to his office very early to gather the papers he needed. Then, he took two pretty secretaries with him and headed to the Byron Group.

Today, he intended to discuss the specific development details of the vacation manor with Byron Group and also request the first installment of the project payment.

The prospect of personally overseeing this billion-dollar project brought an even more radiant smile to Peter's face.

The success of this project would mark a splendid achievement in his life. Whether it was for inheriting the position of the family head or securing the future chairman's role in the company, it would be highly advantageous. Moreover, he could personally make a substantial profit from it. Just one project subcontracting would be enough for him to buy a Lamborghini...

In Byron Group's meeting room, Peter confidently said, "Hello, I am..."

"Are you Miss Katie?" The Byron Group staff interrupted directly.

Peter frowned, displeased, "I am Peter Hartley, the Deputy General Manager of Hartleys Group..."

"May I ask if you're Miss Katie Hartley?" The Byron Group staff repeated.

Peter's expression became awkward. He started to lose his temper. "I'm the person in charge of the resort's construction project. Katie was-"

"Are you Miss Katie?" The third time.

"I f*cking can't believe this! Are you insane? I'm a man. Can't you see that? My name is Peter Hartley, not that b*tch Katie." Peter couldn't bear it and directly cursed.

The Byron Group staff remained calm, stood up, and said, "I'm sorry, but we only discuss this project with Miss Katie. If we can't get a hold of her by 6 p.m. today, we will cancel the cooperation with Hartleys Group, and the resort's construction project will be assigned to someone else."

"Cancel?" Peter was stunned, then sneered, "The contract is already signed. So how can it be so easy to breach? If you breach the contract, you'll have to pay a fine equivalent to 20% of the contract value. Hehe, not even the Byron Group can afford to waste so much money."

The Byron Group staff looked at Peter as if he were an idiot and directly shouted outside the door, "Security, throw them out."

A few minutes later, downstairs.

Bang!

Peter hit the ground with a loud thud, his papers scattered all around him.

The two pretty secretaries were dumbfounded. The Byron Group sure had kept their word.

They said they would throw them out and so they did.
