Chapter 156
Clifford couldn’t let this chance slip away.
The Stout Group had Queenie on their side
With the Stout Group’s upcoming success, working with them won’t be this easy in the future.
There was hardly any need to evaluate this contract.
Clifford’s sudden change in his attitude left Hudson confused about what was going on.
Since Clifford had agreed, he nodded and said, “Oh, great, haha
2.78%
He didn’t know why Clifford changed his mind so suddenly, but as long as they could sign the contract, it was okay with him. Hudson breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that at least some of the 23 million dollar deficit could be covered.
Clifford eagerly asked Hudson, “Where’s the contract? Let’s signat right now.”
He was afraid that if he acted too slowly, someone else might beat him to it.
His earlier arrogant attitude was completely gone.
Hudson immediately smiled and nodded, saying, “Haha, the contract’s ready; I’m just waiting for your signature, Mr. Pennywise.”
He turned and took out the ready–prepared contract from his briefcase.
He came today hoping to negotiate, and to his surprise, it actually worked.
Hudson could barely contain his excitement at that moment.
Clifford cheerfully signed his name and as he put down the pen he looked at Hudson with a smile, saying, “I didn’t realize you were Queenie’s father. I’m sorry for my previous rudeness.
Hudson was stunned, looking bewildered. “What
Clifford thought Hudson was just being humble and eagerly shook his hand, saying. “Your daughter is really remarkable. I hope you arrange for me to meet her someday, Mr. Stout.”
He must cultivate a good relationship with such a big shot; there would definitely be benefits in the future.
Hudson was shocked, wondering if his daughter was really Queenie and which daughter it was..
The next moment, Clifford turned his phone back on, put it on speaker, and played the variety show video for Hudson.
Hudson’s eyes widened in shock.
It was Isabella, the rebellious daughter.
She was actually the genius doctor Queenie.
He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn’t mistaken; and indeed, it was Isabella.
Hudson slumped heavily against the chair back, having difficulty breathing. He was angry inside. What a move! Isabella actually hid something this big.

Clifford was all smiles, tiercely praising. Haha. Mr. Stout, you really know how to raise a daughter, you’ve taught Queenie to become such an outstanding doctor. I’m truly impressed”
momcht ago, he looked down on Hudson, and now he gave Hodson a thumbs up, full of compliments.
Even the contract was signed without any difficulty
Hudson’s rationality returned a bit, and he forced a smile, saying “Oh, thank you for your compliment; we’ve been a bit strict with the kids”
Clifford raised his glass to Hudson, speaking very politely, Mr. Sut, I toast to you for the success of our collaboration today. This meal is on me.”
He’d made a profit from this deal.
Collaborating with Queenie’s company was just fantastic. The profit was unimaginable in the future.
There was a smule in Clifford’s eyes.
Hudson quickly stood up, filled his own glass with wine, and clinked glasses with Clifford, saying, “Mr. Pennywise, you’re too kind. We’re in this for mutual success.
At that moment, Hudson finally appreciated how useful Queenie’s identity could be.
If Isabella had told them sooner, things wouldn’t have reached this point.
Hudson had mixed feelings and regretted his previous attitude toward Isabella.
He collected his thoughts and finished his drink with Clifford,
Clifford kept asking Hudson questions about Isabella, eager to learn more about her.
But Hudson had no idea that Isabella was actually Queenie,
He could only respond to Clifford half–heartedly.
He was afraid of spilling the bean and letting Clifford notice anything out of the ordinary.
Clifford noticed Hudson’s hesitance and assumed he didn’t want to talk about Queenie, so he stopped asking.
They went over some details of their collaboration and then wrapped up the meeting.
By the time they were done, two hours had passed.
As soon as Clifford got up and the door to the room closed, the smile on Hudson’s face disappeared. He quickly took out his phone to call Isabella.
But the phone rang for a long time with no answer.
Hudson was anxious, calling several times to no avail.
He cursed under his breath, gripping his phone. “Damn it. Why won’t she answer the call?”
Ever since Isabella moved out, he didn’t know where she was living now, leaving him in such a bind.
If that rebellious daughter had mentioned her status earlier, the company wouldn’t have been stagnating, and it might have already advanced further.
Hudson slammed his phone down on the table and let out a deep sigh. “Rebellious daughter.” He’d have to go to the office

tomorrow to talk to her
But he was still skeptical whether Queenie was Isabella for real
Even now, Hudson still felt a bit suspicious..
He quickly went to the video–sharing site, which was flooded with promotions for “Healthy Folks,” Hudson spotted it almost right away.
He clicked on it and watched it several times carefully to make sure the person in the video was undoubtedly Isabella
Hudson slumped in his chair, contemplating how he should talk to Isabella tomorrow.
He was anxious, not knowing what attitude this rebellious dangler had now.
Despite his anxious feelings, Hudson had no choice but to go home and wait nervously for the next day.
The following day, Isabella entered the company and clocked in at the design department as usual
As soon as she entered, she glanced around at everyone in the design department; something seemed off about the atmosphere today.
The people who had been disrespectful to her before now looked frightened as if Isabella might do something to them. Everyone knew Isabella’s other identity, and with Queenie’s connections, there were plenty of ways she could ruin them. Those who had crossed Isabella thought of all the possible bad consequences, their faces growing even tenser. Isabella remained calm and unfazed by their reactions, walking over to her desk.
Her desk, which she had left tidy, now had some snacks and a freshly made cup of coffee, still steaming.
Isabella’s eyes moved over the group and finally settled on Melanie.
She immediately lowered her head, her face turning pale in fear that Isabella would see her obvious guilt and fear on her
face.
At this moment, Laura in a light pink denim suspender dress tilted her head and looked over with a big smile, saying, “Good morning, Ms. Stout. I made you a coffee; give it a try.”
Isabella looked over at Laura and immediately noticed the little teddy bear pinned to her dress, grinning goofily,
She gave a slight smile and responded softly, “Thank you.”
Isabella picked up the coffee on the table and took a small sip. It wasn’t as good as what she had at home, but it was still drinkable.
Melanie glared fiercely at Laura.
This flatterer managed to cotton up to Isabella so quickly.
Laura couldn’t be bothered by Melanie’s jealousy. Sh you’re amazing. You turn out to be Dr. Lovett”
turned around and looked at Isabella, directly praising her, “Ms. Stout,
It made sense that Isabella wasn’t at all scared when she advised Isabella not to meet Lucas the last time
It turned out Isabella had such an impressive identity.
MON, NOV TO

Isabella nodded slightly and said casually. “I just know a little about medicine.”
At that moment, Ivana was striding in from the office entran
