Chapter 97 Intersecting Lines
Mr. Zill could not hide his joy. Meanwhile, the others were astounded by Mr. Zill’s good fortune.
“Hello! Hello! I am Mr. Zill, a manager from Wickam Group. We would like to invite you to compete in a
racing competition on our behalf.”
“I can’t make it.”
Mr. Zill and his colleagues’ jaws dropped.
How could she reject Wickam Group so blatantly? Surely, she understood that Wickam Group held her
and the competition in high regard!
To prevent her from hanging up on the call, Mr. Zill quickly offered a response. “Miss Caine, give us a

moment. Is there anything I could help you with? Wickam Group will give our best to support you if you
compete on our behalf. You will also be able to propose your price!”
The metallic voice chuckled. “I apologize! I’m busy, so don’t call me anymore. I will not compete on
behalf of your company.”
She ended the call abruptly after the harsh response.
However, despite the digital distortion, everyone in the room could sense the bitter resentment in her
voice, which was directed towards Wickam Group.
Did Wickam Group offend her in the process of growing the company?
“What…” Mr. Zill paled when he heard the ominous click on the phone.
When he turned towards Gareth, his heart fell as Gareth’s face had clouded over significantly.
Wisteria rejected Wickam Group, which meant that she rejected Gareth.

Some of the members of the staff were concerned, but some of them were smirking at his downfall,
especially Mr. Zeller.
“Now that Wisteria had rejected us, Mr. Wickam, shall we extend our invitation to Mr. Shane?”
With Wisteria out of the scene, Vincent Shane was the best racer they could approach. No one else
could hold up against Vincent.
Gareth pressed his lips together. Meanwhile, Mr. Zill was sweating bullets. I should’ve approached
Wisteria before proposing to bring her in in a meeting! I made a mistake for trying to show off how close
I am to Wisteria. This might cost me my career!
The atmosphere in the room was charged with suspense, and everyone was holding their breath in

anticipation of what could happen next.
Suddenly, Gareth stood up. “I will contact Vincent. All of you focus on drafting the case within three
days, or risk losing your jobs.”
Some of them nearly groaned. A three-day deadline meant that everyone had to work overtime.
Mr. Zill was the one who felt like he was treading on eggshells. The only way he could save himself
was to present a satisfying case to Gareth.
Everyone in the room left the meeting with a heavy heart.
Meanwhile, Wisteria clenched her jaw in resentment after hanging up the call. Before they got divorced,
their lives were like a pair of parallel lines that never intersected; now that they are apart, it seemed like
their lives were constantly intersecting!
She tried to stay far away from him, but her life seemed to be attracted to Gareth.
