Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 791

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the study of the main building, Gregory was having an international conference call.

The conference was not focused on his side of the matter but rather the domestic affairs of Graham Corporation in the capital.

Although he was not in the country, there were a lot of matters in Graham Corporation that required him to call the shots about, take control of, and provide exact directions and suggestions.

In fact, Gregory was quite busy.

After a knock on the door, he called for the person to come in. He lifted his gaze and noticed that it was Massimo. With a glint in his eyes, he spoke briefly with the higher management on video and quickly adjourned the meeting before turning his computer off.

Without beating around the bush, he went straight to the point. “Did you tell her?”

Massimo nodded.

Gregory raised a brow. With one hand, he picked up a glass on the table and took a sip while asking. “Did she refuse?”

Massimo gave another nod. He paused for a bit but could not hold his tongue in the end. Lifting his chin to shoot him a look, he begrudgingly added. “Why bother when you knew it would come to this? We tried our best to talk some sense into you, but you refused to listen and had your heart set on throwing her in there. You no longer have a place in her heart, yet you’re desperately trying to keep her. Gregory, what are you really thinking about?”

Gregory remained silent without uttering a word.

Massimo was fretful for his difficult brother’s sake. There was also an indescribable emotion buried deep within him. He strutted to the sofa and fell back on his bottom before propping his hands under his cheeks.

Unhappily, he grumbled, “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, but the way I see it, hell hath no fury like a man scorned! Even I, as a manly man and your bro, wouldn’t forgive you if you did the same to me, let alone Vick.”

Gregory shifted his gaze up to throw a glance at him, remaining unfazed in the face of his resentment.

He solemnly enquired, “What did she say?”

Massimo coldly scoffed, “What’s there more to say? She made it clear that the past is in the past and told you to give up! Don’t go and pester her again.”

Gregory curled his lip to a chilly angle. It seemed to be a jeer that contained a hint of stubbornness that beggared description.

He coldly smirked. “She sure has aspirations.”

Massimo was rendered speechless by his tone of voice. Anxious and furious, he peevishly replied, “I guess you won’t yield until the day you’re faced with the grim reality! Vick is a wonderful girl and it’s no surprise she refuses to look back after all the hurt you’ve caused her! Do you think everyone will accommodate you?”

However, Gregory was not angered by his words. Instead, he faintly cast a sidelong glance at him and said, “You can leave if there’s nothing else.”

Massimo speechlessly shot daggers at him. Oh, if only looks could kill!

“Fine, I finally see it clearly. You needed me, so you called me to speak on your behalf, but now that all is done, you cast me aside. Fine, I won’t be in your way. Goodbye.”

He got up and made a beeline out.

Gregory sat there, his eyes darkening as Massimo left the scene.

Vickie came looking for him in the afternoon.

At that moment, Gregory was preparing for a nap when he heard about her arrival. Unsurprised, he got up and instructed Mr. Osborne to let her in.

The woman looked rather dashing as she donned pale blue casual wear today. There was the same brilliance that he was familiar with captured in her features.

Gregory’s eyes deepened. He already knew the reason she was here even without giving it a thought. However, he was not in that bad of a mood as he had imagined. Perhaps, he long knew that this day would come. The gap that set them apart was not that easy to fill up.
