Two Hundred and fourty nine

CHAPTER 249

Liliana knocked on the door in front of him and said, "I'll come in, Mr. Blake."

She was a diligent and skillful nurse. Liliana entered with a tray of medicines in her hand. The hospital's VVIP room smelled fruity, coming from the air freshener Liliana always used. That day, Liliana did the same as any other day. She came in, placed her tray of medicines on the nightstand, injected the medicines through the IV, and cleaned up. Liliana also sprayed air freshener all over the room after she was done with the medicines.

Normally Liliana would leave immediately, but that day, Liliana heard the room owner's voice calling out to her.

"Lili... ana?"

Liliana was startled and immediately turned around. She approached Wilson Blake who had opened his eyes perfectly. Unlike the previous incident, where Wilson Blake only showed signs of life without being fully conscious, this time Liliana was able to meet the Golden Group CEO face to face.

"Are you fully awake now, Mr. Blake?"

Wilson nodded slowly. His body now looked thinner and paler compared to before. The hair on his head had also turned white. Wilson Blake had lost his authority, unlike when he was the headmaster of Golden High School a few years ago.

"Can I talk to Donovan?"

Liliana nodded her head and smiled. "Of course, sir. I'll give Mr. Donovan a call. Donovan. You wait here."

Wilson gave Liliana an obedient nod. Meanwhile, Liliana went to call Mr. Donovan. Donovan. The request was quickly granted by Donovan. The tall man arrived with Maria, his personal secretary. The two of them were like glue and stamps that could not be separated.

Mr. Donovan entered Wilson Blake's room alone, while Maria waited outside. That was because Wilson himself had asked him to.

"Mr. Blake, I'm here," Mr. Donovan said as he gently rubbed Wilson Blake's face. Donovan said as he gently rubbed Wilson Blake's arm.

Wilson Blake opened his eyes slowly, he was quite surprised by Mr. Donovan's change. Donovan. His appearance was much better than the last time they met. "It's been a long time, Donovan."

Donovan chuckled, he took a chair and sat near the bed. "I'm glad that you've woken up from your coma. You missed a lot, Mr. Blake."

A sigh was heard from Wilson. He rubbed the back of his own hand which he placed on his stomach, as he finally asked, "How are the company and my son? Are they okay? I went through a lot, I also forgot a lot. It's too hard for me."

"Ace escaped from prison. Sorry about that, Mr. Blake." Donovan looked down in shame, he was so nervous. What if after hearing the news, Mr. Blake would go back into shock and lose consciousness because he was too surprised? But Donovan wasn't one to lie either. He was a man who was to the point. "As of this moment, my people have not managed to find Ace Blake."

"Does that affect the company much?"

Donovan nodded slowly. "Ever since the news of your health spread in the media, all of our colleagues have wanted to call a meeting. They want to know if they can terminate the cooperation, given the poor and unpromising business prospects. I've been trying to hold them back, but the news about you is going crazy on social media, sir."

Wilson sighed. It sounded heavy and regretful. "This is really embarrassing. I'll fix the business after I recover, tell the investors to keep working with me. I will rebuild my business empire."

Donovan nodded his head, he then cleared his throat and brought his face closer to the front. Muttering, Donovan said, "Did you know, the CEO of Alpha Company died in an explosion and fire in his house."

Wilson's eyebrows furrowed. "What? What do you mean... that Mrs. Michelle and her husband are dead now?"

"Yes, sir."

"There was a gas cylinder explosion incident, and it caused a huge fire. Mrs. Michelle and her husband passed away, but none of the colleagues were able to attend the funeral. It was conducted very privately. It seems that only her adopted daughter conducted the funeral process for-"

"Her adopted daughter?" One of Wilson's eyebrows raised, he cut Donovan off. "I never heard anything about an adopted daughter. He had an adopted daughter?"

Donovan rounded his eyes. "You were more surprised by the existence of Mrs. Michelle's adopted daughter than the fire?"

"Of course. It was very surprising."

Not understanding Wilson's thoughts, Donovan chose to remain silent while observing the change in expression on his boss's face. Wilson seemed to be furrowing his brows, like he was in deep thought. And this more or less made Donovan anxious.

"Mr. Blake, you shouldn't think too hard. You're still recovering," he said.

Wilson's eyes widened in surprise. "An adopted daughter? Why wasn't I told about this before?"

Donovan sighed, understanding the complexity of the situation. "It seems Michelle has kept her daughter's existence a secret. She has been running Alpha Company secretly behind the scenes, and now, she is at the forefront. I heard, that girl is the strongest candidate for the next CEO to lead Alpha Company."

"What do you know about that girl, the daughter of Michelle and Edward?"

"Alpha Company has not officially announced this news yet, there is still a possibility that Michelle's daughter will not take the lead and the leadership will be given to Christine, the deputy CEO for the past ten years." Donovan explained. The man shrugged his shoulders. "But if you want to know more about that girl, I will try to find out."

"Sure. Find out everything about her. If there is a big opening, we should get Michelle's daughter to do a collab. A collab that has a big impact on the Golden Group, the more benefits we can get, the more interest I have in that Michelle's daughter."

Donovan nodded obediently, he was like a dog who was very loyal to his master. Without refusal, Donovan said, "Yes, sir. I will immediately find out about Michelle's daughter and how she views the business before her. I will also find out if she can be cooperated with or not."

Wilson smiled, not knowing that the person he was looking for... was someone he almost killed!
