Chapter 390 In Astonishment

Two hours later, the New Year's Eve dinner ended amidst laughter and joy. Everyone was full and satisfied.

The group then spent about fifteen minutes cleaning up the dining room together. Fletcher Knight and his wife were responsible for washing dishes, while Stout and Judge took Tasha to the courtyard to set off fireworks. Felicia went with Casey to join in on the fun.

"Billy, I'm so happy!" Harleen couldn't help but exclaim as she watched her family happily enjoying themselves. It was the happiest New Year's Eve she had experienced in years.

"Harleen, I promise that you will always be this happy from now on." Billy smiled and hugged Harleen tightly.

"Mm-hmm!" Harleen nodded slightly. "I believe you, husband!"

"What do you think of the capital city?" After watching fireworks for a while longer, Billy asked her suddenly.

"The capital city?" Harleen was slightly taken aback. "It's neither good nor bad. Why are you suddenly asking me this question?"

"If one day you were asked to live in the capital city, would you want to go?" Billy continued his questioning.

"What do you mean?" Harleen was confused again. "Billy, is there a change in your job? Are we going to move there soon?"

"Mm-hmm," Billy nodded his head before continuing, "There is a possibility of it happening but nothing has been confirmed yet. Even if I have to go eventually, it won't be several months later so I wanted your opinion first."

"Really? Then please put your work first, if we have no choice then let's go! The conditions in all aspects of life are better in the capital than Ozin, and that would benefit Tasha's growth as well. Don't worry too much about me, since we're officially married now I'll follow wherever my husband goes. As long as our family can stay together it doesn't matter where we go, as for my job I can always find another one when we get there."

"Harleen, you've finally established yourself at SunPark Group after working hard all these years, it'd be such a pity if you gave up your job now that everything is going smoothly."

"I might feel some regret or hesitation but compared with our family it isn't that important anymore. To me both your and Tasha are everything, anything else doesn't matter."

"Darling, there's something I've been keeping from you." Billy said with a smile before kissing Harleen on the forehead.

"You keep so many things from me!" Harleen rolled her. "So which one are you going to confess today?"

In the six months since they had met, she had only believed that Billy truly loved her and their home. Everything else was questionable. This husband of hers kept so many secrets!

Even the fact that he was the leader of SHADOW would have remained hidden if she hadn't discovered it herself in Shenford last time.

Billy's mouth twitched slightly before he continued speaking. "Actually, my relationship with Mr Hines is slightly closer than what I told you last time. I not only saved his life but also gave him someNôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

money as capital for his comeback. He didn't disappoint me and finally made World Group successful."

"What do you mean?" Harleen was confused. "Honey, are you telling me that you're actually the real boss behind World Group?"

"No, Mr Hines is still the boss," Billy replied calmly. "But in some important matters, he listens to my advice. And he is someone who repays kindness with gratitude, he has offered to transfer all of World Group's shares to me several times already, I just haven't agreed yet."

"What?! Are you joking?" Harleen widened her beautiful eyes and exclaimed incredulously.

World Group was worth billions. And according to what she knew, they recently acquired core industries from three major families in Enssea and bought part of the Domans' industry as well. Conservatively estimating it meant that World Group's total output value exceeded 500-600 billion.

And now Billy told her that Mr Hines wanted to give such a behemoth away for free?!

Harleen found it hard to believe.

"Of course, I'm not joking." Billy smiled again. "In addition, I asked M Hines n to come open a branch office in Ozin because I want to fulfill my foster father's wish and complete Ozin Tower project perfectly. The series of acquisitions by World Group later on were also done by Mr Hines at my request."

"Including Sunpark Group?" Harleen took a deep breath to steady her emotions before responding.

"Mhm," Billy nodded and added, "But let me reiterate one thing, honey. Your promotion and salary increase at SunPark Group have nothing to do with me. It's because Mr Hines recognized your talent."

"I don't believe you! Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" Harleen glared at Billy. "If it weren't for your relationship with Mr Hines, he wouldn't even know my last name!"

Although she was a confident woman, she never overestimated herself. There were plenty of people in Ozin branch of World Group who were more capable than her. If it weren't for her husband's influence, there was no way she would have landed the CEO position.

After some thought, Harleen looked back up at Billy and asked, "Honey, you didn't just tell me this information without any ulterior motives did you?" She knew Billy well enough that he wouldn't mention anything without having another purpose behind it.

Billy laughed in response. "My smart wife! Mr Hines has been trying to transfer the ownership of World Group to me but I've refused several times so he stopped asking. But recently he proposed a new idea which made me feel guilty so I verbally agreed."

"Are you trying to tell me that Mr Hines is settling for transferring Sunpark Group directly under my name?" Harleen immediately caught on.

"My clever wife!"

"Nope!"

"Why not?" Billy touched her hair while asking. He already knew what kind of reaction Harleen would give; it was expected from someone like her.

"You helped out Mr Hines, and that's just friends helping each other out." After taking another deep breath, Harleen continued speaking, "Just like how he helped promote me into this CEO position, that's also friends supporting each other, which can be understood. But giving us Sunpark group as a gift is too much! Don't forget its current value is almost one trillion dollars. We can't accept such an expensive gift!"
