Chapter 162

Although everyone was sitting in their seats, no one said a word, as if Lena was invisible.

Lena didn't break down, she was just anxious about the rule set by Dave that year. A major project required the approval of seventy-five percent of the senior management, let alone making such significant decisions to modify the project after it was completed.

In the past, Dave did not exercise his veto power in order to satisfy everyone.

Lena furrowed her brow and said to the remaining executives, "I will discuss this matter with my father, and I hope that within three days, all of you can provide a solution."

After saying that, she also left the company.

Today was indeed her first time coming to the Dawson Group, and it was normal for this group of people to not accept her.

To achieve this plan now, the only way is to obtain the executive power of the Dawson Group, as she said.

Execution power is not just a matter of Dave's words. It also requires shares. At this time, she went to the Dawson family to ask for shares. I really don't know if they will consider it as taking advantage of the situation.

She quickly drove to the hospital where Dave was, and before she could push open the door to the ward, she heard Margaret saying, "Leah only made a mistake because she was too young. She has been fasting for a day and a night, saying that if you don't forgive her, she won't get up. And she has returned the one billion she earned over the years, not touching a penny of it."

"Cough, cough, cough."

Dave coughed forcefully, his eyes filled with exhaustion.

Margaret also knew that it was inappropriate to say these things at that time, and her eyes welled up with tears.

"What else can we do? The Reid family has now found out about this. I confirmed the wedding procedures with them for the last time this morning, and they were very indifferent. I am worried that the Reid family will call off the wedding."

After all, she had been taking care of Leah for so many years. Even though she knew that this child's thoughts were not pure, she still couldn't bear to see Leah become so thin.

But now I will no longer blindly favor her.

Dave hesitated for a few minutes and suddenly said, "How do you know she wasn't just acting this time?"

Margaret was instantly taken aback by this question, after all, Leah was truly a master at acting, taking her skills to a terrifying level.

"But, honey..."

"Shut up, it is because of your biased favoritism over the years that she has turned into the person she is now."

Margaret also felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart, and hesitated for a few seconds before speaking firmly, "Even if Leah's intentions are not pure, she would definitely be very good to me. What do you think Lena's character is like? As soon as you fall, she will eagerly enter the company, and she might soon come to ask for shares and take control of the company."

Lena's fingertips paused as she knocked on the door, suddenly unsure of what to say.

Margaret was still chattering away, but Dave said he was tired.

Lena was still standing at the door when she saw Margaret coming out from inside.

Margaret did not show the same disgusted expression as before, but her face still looked displeased. She couldn't help but think that Lena was cunning, otherwise how could she have come up with the idea of live streaming the projection.

Lena walked into the ward, hesitating whether to speak or not.

Dave seemed to know why she had come, "Did you encounter any problems?"

"Dad, our company had absolute discretion over the project construction, and Leah gave the contract to the Reid Group, allowing them to introduce all their subsidiaries into the mall. I just wanted to push the boundaries a bit, if we didn't build the mall..."

Dave sighed and looked out of the window, "Do you think we would have offended Hunter?"

And it deeply offended, treating the Reid Group, which is so significant, like a monkey.

Lena, of course, knew this, but there was no way around it. She lowered her eyelashes and said, "Mr. Reid had a good character and manners. He wouldn't confront the Dawson family just because we went back on our word. At most, he would simply ignore us."

Otherwise, if it hadn't been for the incident with his leg back then, he would have already sought revenge on her.

"Lena, you had already hurt him a lot back then, his leg..."

Lena interrupted hastily, "I understood it all, but when it comes to business, the last thing you want is to be held back by these things. Dad, you are just too soft-hearted, that's why you continue to keep those few rotten apples in the upper management."

Her words were sharp, and she regretted them as soon as she said them.

But Dave fell into silence, then chuckled lightly, "So your grandfather said to me back then, that I would never achieve anything significant. If I don't make it through this time, when I go down to meet him, he will nag at me again."

"Dad, don't say these things, you wouldn't have any problem."

Dave's eyes instantly turned red, and he beckoned her to come and sit beside him.

"Lena, your current appearance is exactly what your grandfather hoped you would become. I have indeed had some resentment towards you over the years because of his death, but your father is also human and cannot completely forgive you. Now that I see you so clear-minded, I am relieved."

His gaze accidentally fell on her neck.

Last night, Lena was very crazy in the hotel, and today she has tried to cover it up, but still revealed some flaws.

Dave breathed a sigh of relief, "Do you have a boyfriend now? He must be a good person, which is good. At least you don't have to be so fixated on that kid Hayden anymore. He's not right for you, and he's also immature. Even if he marries Leah, he won't become a good husband."

The older generation's judgment of people was indeed accurate.

Hayden was indeed not husband material.

Dave was very happy, with a hint of excitement in his eyes. "When you have time, bring him to meet me. Your marriage is also the most important thing to me."

Lena thought about how she didn't even know what the other person looked like now, and felt a bit awkward, so she had to change the subject.

"There would be a chance, but we have just started talking and don't know each other well enough yet. It's not that fast."

Dave became even happier now, and his mood improved a lot.

"Alright, alright, alright. As long as you're reliable, I don't insist on you marrying into any prominent family. Let's just live a peaceful life together."

Lena's eyes instantly felt a bit sour, she had indeed been neglecting Dave's feelings during this period of time.

She forgot that home was very complicated, it would make you suffer, but it would also make you feel peaceful and happy.

Dave raised his hand and patted her hand back, "After this incident, you should apologize to him properly. I was worried before, with you being so infatuated, that you might fall in love with someone from the Reid Group. I couldn't sleep for those days. If you go after Hayden, others will only mock you. If you go after Hunter, you might even lose your life."

Lena was a bit confused. Was Hunter really that scary?

"He was actually quite nice."

"Lena, you can't even imagine the disputes within the Reid family. His brother's family has several sons who have been groomed to be the heirs since childhood. Assassination is like a piece of cake to him. Of course, the most important thing is that he is so cold, like a machine. It's hard to imagine how much suffering a woman would endure being with him. I reckon she probably doesn't see him more than a few times a year."

This is true, even when Hunter encounters a beautiful woman at the negotiation table, his gaze never lingers on her, as if he were a machine without the concept of gender.

Ms. Wright back then was really impressive, how could she have captured the heart of such a person.
