As soon as Lucas sat down, he sneered. "I have to say, Mr. Crosby, instead of having meetings every day, you should be thinking of ways to deal with the media downstairs. This situation is escalating on the Internet. If we keep dragging this out, we might as well declare bankruptcy."At first, he didn't intend to bankrupt the company. He just wanted to make some of Curtis' subordinates make mistakes and cause some losses to the company. Then he instigated those old directors to force Ye Che to step down. But unexpectedly, things escalated on the Internet. Now, the whole nation was condemning them, and the company probably couldn't be saved anymore.Fortunately, Curtis was the legal representative. If anything happened, he would have to bear the consequences. It would be Curtis who had to go to prison, not him.Curtis looked at Lucas with disdain. Then, he looked at all the directors and said in a deep voice, "Today's board meeting, I didn't call you here to discuss countermeas
When Jennifer had met Lucas at a golf course, she developed feelings for him.Then step by step, she fell into Lucas' gentle trap.She thought Lucas was single and sincerely loved her, so she took the initiative to break up with Chester.Little did she know that on the day of the breakup, Lucas asked her to do things for him and to please Chester.On that day, she also found out that Lucas was married and had two sons.She was disheartened, but then she discovered that she was pregnant with Lucas' child.After being severely brainwashed by Lucas, she still went back to reconcile with Chester, and Chester agreed.After that, she was caught in between the two men.Of course, Jennifer knew that what she was doing was wrong. If Lucas succeeded, he might not divorce and marry her. But if Lucas failed, he would also expose her as his accomplice. So she became more cautious. Later, during her time with Lucas, she would secretly record their conversations, just in case she needed e
Curtis paid no attention to what Lucas said and instructed each director on what to do. He would figure out the rest himself. The issue of the toxic toys had been resolved, but now he needed to raise money to cover the company's losses. At the hospital, Margot and the others had used herbal medicine for Benjamin, and the effect was excellent. Then they used the doctor's social media accounts to post a prescription for quick detoxification. Overnight, many parents recorded videos online showing their children recovering from the danger. Everything was moving in a positive direction.Another morning came. At the police press conference, the entire process of Lucas' crimes and the relevant personnel involved were discussed. Currently, Su Yao and others had been arrested and would be tried at a later date. With this news, all the blame shifted to Lucas, and netizens across the country berated him. Even Lucas' wife, Anya, and their two children were targeted in online attacks
Curtis was well aware that Margot was very worried about him. He was indeed tired, and he could feel the symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath returning due to the lack of sleep and irregular rest these days. He should listen to Margot. He gestured for her to come closer. Margot walked to his side. The man reached out and hugged her. He took a deep breath to relax as much as possible, then said in a deep voice, "Okay, I promise you that I will go home today. Margot, wait for me a while, I'll finish the work on my hands." Margot nodded. Curtis then let her go and continued working.---At the hospital.After helping Natalie and Benjamin leave the hospital, Lena returned to Anthony's ward. When she saw the man on the bed trying to sit up, she rushed over to hold him down. "What are you doing? You can't move yet."In the past few days, Anthony had recovered quickly once he regained consciousness. His hands could move, and he could even move his legs. He was
Lena was furious. She glared at the man on the bed, her face flushed red with anger. Anthony was also angry. His expression was cold as he met her gaze and said indifferently, "Did I ask you to save me? From the beginning, I told you to leave, but you insisted on staying in front of my eldest brother. What, should I be grateful to you just because you cured me?"If she insisted on marrying his eldest brother, then he would rather not let her save him. Thinking about the days ahead, when he would have to call her sister-in-law and she would look at him disdainfully, he felt sick to his stomach."Anthony."Lena was unable to stand it any longer. She shouted angrily at him, "You really don't know what's good for you. Since I saved you out of my own initiative, then fine, I won't save you anymore."She was really angry. Grabbing a pillow, she viciously slammed it onto his legs. Anthony, who had regained some sensation but still couldn't move well, broke out in a cold sweat from the
Otherwise, if Curtis were to die young as Lucas said, not to mention the company, the people around him would probably be devastated.---This was the first time Margot heard Lena crying, and she was really afraid that something had happened. She quickly drove to the hospital.When she arrived, she saw Lena crouching at the entrance of the inpatient building, burying her head and sobbing.Margot ran over to her. "Lena."The girl stood up and hugged Margot tightly, crying even harder. "Margot, your brother is so hateful. I won't care about him anymore. Don't ask me to save him again. I want to leave him forever. I don't want to ever see him again."Margot carefully pushed the girl away from her embrace and wiped away her tears while asking, "What happened exactly? How did he treat you?""He told me to leave and never show up again. He said I treated him because I wanted to impress your eldest brother. Margot, let's go. Take me to eat pizza. I'll never come to the hospital again."
When Anthony heard Calvin's words, Anthony, who was already unhappy, became even more annoyed."You feel sorry that I made her cry? Then take her home and spoil her if you're so concerned. Why did you bring her here to treat me? Don't you know the principle of no intimacy between men and women?"Calvin remained silent."This is just how I am, and I won't change. I'll never like anyone again in my life, and no woman should ever come near me again. You'd better make her disappear as far as possible, and don't let me see her again, or else..."He suddenly couldn't go on. He lifted his eyes to see the displeasure on Calvin's face.Calvin calmed his anger and pulled up a chair to sit next to him. Although he felt it was unlikely, he still asked, "Are you concerned about her relationship with me? I've told you, even though I promised to marry her, everything is still...""Ridiculous, why should I care about your relationship with her?" Anthony interrupted his elder brother and sneered
Calvin continued, "I'll go and comfort Lena properly, so she won't stay angry with you. When she comes back again, you apologize to her, understand!"At that moment, Anthony became obedient and nodded. "Okay.""Think about what you did wrong and reflect on it. I'm leaving now."Ignoring his elder brother, Anthony gently closed his eyes and thought about why he had been so angry before.Wasn't it because he had heard that witch say that she liked his eldest brother?Why did he care if she liked his eldest brother?Such behavior from himself was simply inexplicable....After having their fill of food, drink, and fun outside, Margot accompanied Lena back home.It was already 10:00 pm by then.The children and Natalie were all asleep.When Lena returned home, she went straight to her room.Margot thought that Curtis had returned home, but when she entered the room, it was empty. The study was also empty.She dialed the man's number again.Chester answered and whispered, "Ms.
