His Genius Wife Is A Superstar-Chapter 1532 Money is the Best

The French magnate felt helpless at the couple's attitude toward him. The concealed bump on his forehead ached, but for the sake of his company's survival and continued membership in Cross Academy's exclusive business network, he swallowed his pride and pretended not to notice the couple's indifference.

He smiled and spoke to Iris. "Madame Jin, I truly apologize for my transgressions. I hope that the gifts that I sent you yesterday are to your liking. If not, please let me know what you like and I'll do everything in my power to get it for you."

"No need," Jin Liwei said before Iris could say anything. "My wife doesn't need anything from you. I already told you yesterday that we're even now because our son had injured you. We accepted the gifts of apology you sent so that you won't feel the need to keep on giving us things to prove your sincerity."

The French magnate controlled his anxiety, trying hard not to let it show on his face. After his gaffe at the gentlemen's gathering yesterday, he noticed the group of men's change of attitude toward him.

Although they didn't blatantly isolate him at the party today, he could feel that they were distancing themselves from him. He had unknowingly offended CEO Liam Jin and Sir Lu Jianhong.

He would never have imagined that he would be reduced to humbling himself in front of others. After he became a billionaire, he felt like he was on top of the world. He had the wealth and power to do basically whatever he wanted.

It was only after his business partner, who was a Cross Academy alumnus, died that he realized the importance of belonging to the academy's exclusive business network. If his company lost its membership there, its value would most definitely plummet. It wouldn't go bankrupt, but it would lose a lot of valuable connections and resources.

He didn't want that to happen. He was ready to do anything to retain his company's membership.

But after his gaffe yesterday and noticing the change in attitude of the group of gentlemen toward him, he knew that he must do something.

First, he needed to appease Mr. and Mrs. Jin. Then maybe they could intervene on his behalf.

Earlier, he noticed that the couple left with Sir Lu Jianhong and his friends plus the nerdy tech billionaire. They stayed inside for quite a while. When they came out, he observed that everyone seemed much more polite to Madame Jin.

The nerdy tech billionaire had the most notable change in attitude toward Madame Jin. After they returned to the party, the younger man looked like he was ready to worship Madame Jin.

The French magnate didn't know what happened inside, but his instincts told him that Madame Jin's influence might be bigger than he initially expected.

He had a feeling that if he failed to completely appease her today, his future would be bleak.

His wife sensed his discomfort. She moved to speak several times, but he stopped her with a look. He didn't want his wife to make things worse.

"Madame Jin, CEO Jin, if there is anything I can do for you, just tell me," he said with an ingratiating smile.

Iris glanced at her cold-faced husband and sighed. The Frenchman's nervousness was making her feel awkward. She wasn't sure if the Frenchman was really sincere or not, but his anxiety was all too real.

She didn't sympathize with the man at all. Hearing that he tried to influence her husband to cheat behind her back, she didn't have any good feelings toward him.

Even so, she still listened to her husband. Jin Liwei wanted her to accept the Frenchman's gifts of apology so she did. Her husband also had a plan which she was ready to execute now.

"Monsieur, I will forget about you instigating my husband to cheat behind my back if you could help watch over my Liberté when I'm not in France," she said.

The Frenchman's eyes lit up. "Of course, Madame Jin. It would be my pleasure. I might not amount to much outside of Europe, but within my country, I still have some influence," he said in a humble tone. "Please don't worry about Liberté. I'm just a call away if your perfumery needs any assistance."

She gave him a polite smile. "That's all I ask."

He looked relieved. "Thank you very much, Madame Jin." Then he also nodded at Jin Liwei. "And you, too, CEO Jin."

Jin Liwei didn't reply, but the Frenchman didn't mind. He knew that as long as he pleased Madame Jin, CEO Jin would follow.

After a few sentences of polite chatter, the French magnate excused himself and his wife.

"Why did you have to act like a bootlicker?" his young model wife asked, the dissatisfaction clear in her expression. "So embarrassing!"

"If I didn't act that way, the wealth you're enjoying right now might disappear," he said.

Her eyes widened. "What do you mean by that? They're the ones who're asking for a favour to look after Liberté!"

"It might look like that in your eyes, but they're the ones who're doing me favour. Just do as I say and be respectful to Mr. and Mrs. Jin if you see them. Do not, for the life of me, offend them. Especially Madame Jin! I'm telling you. If you drag me down with your foolishness, I'll divorce you."

She pouted. Her eyes followed Iris Long and Liam Jin, feeling envious of their relationship. After watching them interact throughout the entire party, it was obvious that the two were very much in love.

She had thought that Iris Long would be the same as her, but no. Iris Long had a husband who loved her.

What about her? She looked at her French billionaire husband. He didn't look as handsome as Liam Jin, neither was he as wealthy as Liam Jin.

"Let's go," her husband said, dragging her away.

She pouted again, feeling sorry for herself.

"I'll buy you a handbag later," he suddenly said.

Her eyes lit up. "I love you, hubby!"

What was the use of love?

Money was the best!
