At the hospital…Elias' heart broke when Damon appeared in front of him with his bloody hand.“I told you this before, you need to avoid getting your wound wet. What’d you do, slice it with a knife?”“Just shut up and fix it.” Damon snapped icily.“Damon, I’m a doctor, but I can’t fix patients who deliberately seek to handicap themselves.”He unwrapped Damon’s bandage, layer by layer. He saw that the wound on his hand was actually nearly healed but had been torn again and was bleeding profu
Xavier purposefully closed the door as soon as Parker left the room.“What are you planning?” Damon asked in an extremely cold and sharp voice.“I’m here to inform you that Godfrey Group will be having a shareholders’ meeting in a few days. You’re not going to enjoy this seat for very much longer, so you’d better enjoy it while it lasts.”Xavier patted him on the shoulder, smiling in a carefree manner.Damon frowned.‘A shareholders’ meeting?’He was the CEO, why hadn’t he heard of this?
After receiving a full-scale understanding of the situation, Damon knew that public relations could do nothing to solve this.The Godfrey Group had no other choice except to issue a public apology, fire the person in charge, and cease all construction projects.He finally understood why Xavier had so much confidence to stand in his office.Because he, the CEO of the Godfrey Group, was the person who had signed off on this particular project.“Sir, what do we do?”Parker had always been reso
As such, he agreed.Damon secretly heaved a sigh of relief.‘Xavier… That brat would even stoop to murder, just to drag me down. I won’t let him trample over me, just to get what he wants, even if I have to be torn to pieces.’When Damon stepped out of the entrance of Godfrey Tower, he found Jeanette, waiting anxiously outside.He paused then walked toward her.“When did you get here?”“I just arrived. I heard about the Godfrey Group’s crisis as soon as I finished my meeting.”Jeanette st
His sudden embrace made Jeanette stiffen. Her body still instinctively objected to his advances, but she did not want to push him away in his wretched, unfortunate state. She loved him.Jeanette tried her best to contain her bodily objections. She didn’t want Damon to notice, but he was sensitive enough to sense her tenseness. He released her, feeling slightly disappointed.“Forget it. I know you can’t accept any form of intimacy with me. I won’t force you, and you don’t have to force yourself.”Damon’s face was filled with bitterness and self-deprecation. He could wait for her to gradually accept him. After all, they had plenty of days ahead. He loved her, so he had to give her enough time. However, he still felt a little disappointed every time she tensed up and instinctively rejected his touch whenever he was near her. When would they ever go back to how it used to be?Damon’s sudden disappointment made Jeanette very guilty. After all, he was already in dire straits.Jeanette s
Damon shrugged and said, “What do I have to be afraid of? Whatever problem arises, I’ll get it resolved. I’m sure there’s going to be light at the end of the tunnel anyhow.”It was Jeanette’s turn to shrug this time. “I’m actually a bit more relaxed now that I realize you’re being so optimistic about it.”While the two of them were talking, an awkward sound suddenly broke the originally relaxed mood. Damon’s expression became slightly uncomfortable as he could not help but let off a light coug
Just as Jeanette walked in, Damon was still scanning his surroundings when a voice suddenly sounded. “Jen…” Damon turned his head and saw a man who was almost in his 60s walking over with a smile on his face. Jeanette smiled and dragged Damon along as she walked over. “Long time no see, owner.”The man smiled. “How long has it been since you last came to my store? I even thought you had forgotten about me already.”Jeanette put on a smile as she said, “How could I? I can’t believe you stil
When Jeanette saw how cold Damon’s expression was, she hurriedly explained, “It’s not like that… This was my favorite store back when I was in school. In the past, this was not even a bustling commercial area but a school. “In fact, I attended high school in this area. At the time, I would come here to get something to eat every evening after school. Everyone from my school would come here during that time. Afterward, my high school got moved to somewhere else, and this place slowly became a c
