?Chapter 1275:
Javier turned to Amoura and said, “Haven’t I told you this before? You need to handle business with reason andpetence. Poaching employees is off-limits. Why do you never listen to me?”
Despite the words being a reprimand, his tone was gentle. Amoura seemed to catch on to something, casting a quick look at Bryan and Eileen before linking her arm with Javier’s. “I just wanted the Deleon Group to make its mark in the domestic market quickly. I didn’t want you to feel embarrassed in front of those people overseas. Maybe I rushed things. I realize now that I was wrong.”
“It’s good that you recognize your mistake. Now, go ahead and apologize to Mr. Dawson and his wife. Don’t make the same error again,” Javier said, giving Amoura a look.
“Okay,” Amoura agreed quickly. Then, she said insincerely, “Mr. and Mrs. Dawson, I apologize. I didn’t fully grasp the rules of the business world and ended up causing some trouble for you. However, now that things are done, employees who were poached can’t return. How about my husband and I treat you to a meal some other day to make up for it?”
After speaking, she gave Javier’s arm a little shake and asked, “Is that alright, honey?”
Eileen watched how Javier was quickly swayed by just a few of Amoura’s words. Amoura had given a shallow apology and set up a meal aspensation, and just like that, the whole issue was brushed aside.
Javier took a seat next to Amoura. The waiter promptly added an extra set of tableware, and Javier joined everyone for the meal, engaging in light conversation about business.
Throughout their talk, Eileen found herself increasingly impressed by Javier. In his younger days, he had been a notable figure in the business realm, participating in several pioneering projects. Her respect for Javier grew as the meal progressed.

After they had finished eating, Amoura linked arms with Javier and waved goodbye to everyone. Holding onto Bryan’s arm, Eileen yfully inquired, “Honey, was this the surprise you were talking about?”
Bryan responded, “Mr. Deleon’s affection for Amoura really is beyond what I imagined.” He had deliberately arranged for Javier toe here. Surprisingly, despite seeing Amoura’s arrogant behavior, Javier had only made her apologize before letting the matter go.
“Even knowing that she’s not genuine and that Amoura might have hidden agendas, Mr. Deleon still tolerates her antics. It’s clear his fondness for her is not easily shaken.” Eileen got inside the car and said, “So, Mr. Deleon can only manage to keep Amoura from being too arrogant in our presence. Beyond that, there isn’t much he can do.”
Bryan massaged his temples while driving, feeling that his efforts of the past few days had been fruitless. However, he still felt that there was more to the matter. “Mr. Deleon was once a powerful figure. Even though histe wife meant a lot to him, it shouldn’t make him neglect the Deleon family’s reputation. Let’s wait and see.”
In the car cruising on the highway, Javier leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed to rest. Amoura nestled against his shoulder, clutching his arm.
“You didn’t trust me, so you showed up unannounced, right?” she asked.
Javier opened his tired eyes and chuckled. “Regardless, we cannot tarnish the Deleon Group’s reputation. It’s not guaranteed that the Deleon family will establish itself in this country. If we alienate everyone here and our future generations want to live in this country, they won’t have any footing.”
Amoura scoffed, folded her arms, and shifted away slightly. “You’re always concerned about your family’s future, not me. Once you’re gone and back with your wife, I’ll be left alone. I won’tin about that, but you can’t let me suffer while I’m still alive.”
