1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

Chapter 255: I'm Far Worse Than You

Witnessed by the host, Mitchell and Evelyn signed their names on the contract respectively, and then exchanged the contracts signed with their own names with each other.

When Mitchell saw the name "Evelyn Emma Rothschild" signed on the contract, his pupils shrank noticeably.

He didn't expect that his order was actually placed by the Rothschild family. No wonder his father insisted that he sign it. He also said that he had to give face to Franklin. He said, when did his Washington family give face to a president? If they gave face to the president, how could the current president be helpless with the domestic economy?

He glanced at Evelyn. This Rothschild woman was pretty. His father asked him to sign the document. Was he thinking of getting him to have a good relationship with this woman and then using this opportunity to get in touch with the Rothschild family?

The more Mitchell thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, but at the same time he scoffed at his father's idea. This was too conservative. Based on his observation of Evelyn, he dared to think that this woman must be young and still in the stage of having expectations for love.

He was very familiar with women of this age group and had a lot of experience in picking up women of this age group. He was absolutely sure that he could win over this woman named Evelin.

Mitchell's heart immediately became hot when he thought of this. This was a chance given to him by God. If he could get Evelyn, he would be half of the Rothschild family. His family would definitely become the first family in the United States. By then, the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family would all be younger brothers in front of him.

The more Mitchell thought about it, the more excited he became. His gaze towards Evelin became more and more intense. He wished he could pursue Evelin right now. This was his chance to reach the top in one step.

But what he didn't know was that Evelyn had already sentenced him to death in her heart. Evelyn had long noticed that Mitchell was glancing at her from time to time, and his gaze towards her was getting hotter and hotter.

Evelyn knew what Mitchell was thinking at this moment without having to think about it. Because as the youngest daughter of the Rothschild family who had not yet married, every time she attended an event with her family, there would always be many such eyes looking at her.

She was very disgusted by such looks, because she knew very well that these people were attracted by her family background, not her as a person.

In order to avoid these people, she went against her family's arrangements, gave up the opportunity to study in the UK, then concealed her surname and went to the United States alone to study.

So when she saw Mitchell's burning gaze, she immediately began to dislike this person. Coupled with the relationship between Lu Chen and Mitchell, she decided to teach Mitchell a lesson.

When Mitchell saw Evelyn had signed the contract, he stood up impatiently and extended his hand to Evelyn enthusiastically. He secretly warned himself in his heart that he must leave a good impression on Evelyn.

But Evelyn had no intention of shaking hands with Mitchell. After signing, she stood up and left her seat and walked out of the house.

This made Mitchell both embarrassed and angry. He didn't expect Evelin to not even want to shake his hand. What did this mean? It was obvious that he looked down on him.

After Mitchell stood there for a while, the anger that had been suppressed in his heart began to emerge unconsciously. He was ignored by a woman like this. How dare she ignore him.

Mitchell stared at Evelin's back. Then he said in a voice that only he could hear:

"Bitch, just wait. One day you will fall into my hands. When that happens, I will definitely make you lie on the ground and let me ravage you."

Just when Evelin signed the contract, in another room, Lu Chen, Duncan, and another bearded man also signed the contract under the witness of Franklin.

After signing the contract, Duncan looked at Lu Chen with great gratitude. He really didn't think he would get this order. He believed that he got this order this time because Lu Chen wanted to help him. After all, his shipyard was strong. Normally, this order would never have come to him.

After the signing ceremony, he immediately approached Lu Chen and said sincerely:

"Brother Lu Chen, thank you so much for your help. Otherwise, my shipyard would definitely not get this order."

Lu Chen quickly said, "Brother Duncan, please don't say that. I didn't do you any favors. This order was obtained entirely by your own strength."

"Brother Lu Chen, you are too modest. I know my own strength very well. Without your help, we would definitely not be able to compete with those large shipyards. So you don't have to be polite to me. I must thank you very much this time."

Duncan then took Lu Chen's hand and prepared to take Lu Chen to the best restaurant in New York for dinner. Not only that, he also planned to give Lu Chen 10% of his shipyard shares.

When the two of them walked out of the room, they happened to meet Mitchell, who was walking out of the opposite room with a dark face.

Mitchell's face turned even uglier when he saw Lu Chen. He didn't know why Lu Chen was here. When he was about to leave, he saw Duncan coming out of the room behind Lu Chen.

When Mitchell saw Duncan, his brows furrowed visibly. He knew Duncan. After all, they were both in the shipbuilding industry, and their companies were both in New York. It was impossible for him not to know Duncan.

Although Lu Chen and Duncan were not very fond of Mitchell, they still had basic courtesy. When they saw Mitchell, they immediately greeted him.

"Mr. Mitchell, are you here to sign the contract as well?"

Duncan said to Mitchell with a smile.

Mitchell frowned even more after hearing what Duncan said. He didn't expect that Duncan was here to sign a contract just like him.

He was a little confused about what kind of orders Duncan's dying shipyard could take. So he thought:

"Why, is Mr. Duncan here to sign the contract as well?"

Duncan nodded and said, "Thanks to my brother, I also got the order for two ships this time."

"I don't know if you got an order for a large ship or a small ship, Mr. Duncan. I got an order for two frigates this time. The total displacement is more than 10,000 tons."

Mitchell said with a smile.

Duncan looked at Lu Chen and asked him. After seeing Lu Chen nod, Duncan said to Mitchell:

"The order I received this time is relatively small, just two cruisers, with a total displacement of just over 20,000 tons, which is far less than yours."
