Chapter 47 Please Call Me Miss Clinton
In the reception room.
Mr. Lee was afraid that Joe would not see his efforts, so he carefully introduced the project progress to Joe, but Joe stopped him. “Who has been in touch with you during this period of time?”
“Mr. Lake of the Horizon Group.” Mr. Lee was confused. “The chairman of the Horizon Group has never returned to Zyphoria before, and it was Mr. Lake who contacted us. Recently, I heard that their chairman has come back, but I have never seen him.”
Joe raised his eyebrows. The chairman was quite mysterious.
The three of them stayed in the reception room for less than five minutes before Mr. Lake hurried in. “Excuse me for not welcoming you, Mr. Smith.”
Joe glanced at Mr. Lake indifferently and said, “I heard that your chairman is in the company. I’ve invited him several times but failed to meet him. You’re too insincere.”
“Well…” Mr. Lake was in a dilemma. There was nothing wrong with Joe’s request, but the relationship between Mia and Joe was really complicated. If they met…
“What’s wrong?” Joe sneered. “Is the chairman of the Horizon Group not visible? I’m worried about the sincerity of your company to such a big project because of his absence.”
“Mr. Smith, you may have misunderstood.”
Just as Mr. Lake was at a loss for what to do, a familiar female voice rang out. Joe immediately turned sullen.
Mia was wearing a beige suit. Her makeup was simple and exquisite, and there was a professional smile on her face. “I paid a lot of attention to this project from the beginning. Our Horizon Group is absolutely sincere.”
When Mr. Lake saw Mia, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
Joe thought that Mia came with the mysterious chairman, so his tone became colder. “What’s wrong? He’s relieved to let you
come to see me?”
At this time, Mia only had two children in her mind. She was not in the mood to figure out what Joe was thinking at all and said directly, “Mr. Smith, if you have any doubts about the project, I can answer all of them for you.”
“You?” Joe sized Mia up from head to toe. “He trusts you so much that he even told you the company’s secret.”
Mia’s previously bad mood was now even worse. She walked up to Joe, took out a business card, and put it in front of him. “Unfortunately, I know all the secrets of the Horizon Group
because this company is mine.”
Joc suddenly looked at Mia. “What did you say?”
Mia sneered. “If you don’t understand, Mr. Smith, you can go back to school for two more years. I still have something to do, so I won’t accompany you.”
She turned to leave, but Joe stopped her. “Wait.”
Joe skimmed through the business card in his hand and sneered. “I really don’t know when the dignified Miss White changed her surname to Clinton.”
He casually flicked the business card aside, and the sarcasm in his eyes became stronger.
Their tense atmosphere made everyone in the conference room look at each other at a loss. In the end, the oldest Mr. Lake came out to smooth things over. “Mr. Smith, you don’t that something did happen in Miss Clinton’s family that made her stop using her previous name. It’s just that her new name hasn’t been made public yet.”
After all, Mia was the founder of the Horizon Group, so everyone more or less knew something about her.
Joe looked down at the strange name on the card. Charlotte Clinton?
How many years had it been? Not only did Mia get involved with David, but she also changed her name and became the chairman

of the Horizon Group.
How many things did she still have that he didn’t know?
He suddenly stood up and walked to Mia step by step.
