Chapter 66: The Secret Between Two People
The news that GE Group successfully acquired the Wine company was quickly mentioned in online newspapers and soon, Matthew also knew.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Kevin told him that as soon as he returned, he would hold a meeting, go through the shareholders’ opinions, and then contact the Wine company to carry out the purchasing procedures.
However, now the Wine company has changed owners, so quickly that not only Matthew but everyone is surprised at the speed of Kent and Brian’s work.
After lunch, Matthew immediately arranged to meet Kevin and drove to the coffee shop opposite Unicons group.
The moment he looked at his son sitting down in front of him, he realized the instability in Kevin’s eyes even though he was trying to show that he was fine.
“What’s the matter that made you call me out? Why don’t you go into the company?”
“Have you met her yet?” Matthew put down his teacup and asked instead of answering.
“She ran away. Dad, do I look so hateful? So, even if GE Corporation did not buy the Wine company at a price as high as the price I offered, she still sold the Wine company to them. She doesn’t want to be with me.”
Although Kevin smiled, as a father, how could Matthew not recognize the despair and inferiority in his son’s eyes?
However, he could understand Emily’s feelings and understand her decision. It’s difficult to be someone’s wife when, not long ago, she was engaged to that person’s younger brother. It will be very awkward.
“Kevin, remember, we only have you left. If you’re in a bad mood, take a break and travel somewhere for a while. I will replace you and run the corporation.”
“I’m fine. I will only be sad for the rest of today. I promise.”
After seeing Matthew off to the car, Kevin immediately returned to the office and continued handling work.
He knows he is no longer a student, he cannot put love first. On his shoulders is a corporation worth billions of dollars and thousands of employees. He has to take care of his parents, he also has to live well for Daniel.
A girl who doesn’t appreciate his feelings is not worthy of his concern anymore. He vowed to forget her forever.
He tried to keep his promise to his younger brother but she firmly refused, so Daniel couldn’t blame him.
As for Brian, after seeing the room full of broken glass and the crushed rose bouquet at the gate, he somewhat guessed Kevin’s intentions even though Daisy didn’t mention it.
He thought Kevvin had ignored Emily when he saw him walk past her, despite her begging to get into the hearse.
“Emily, where are you going?”
He muttered to himself and then suddenly remembered something, so he got in the car and drove straight to the Wine company headquarters.
After several times going there to sign sales and transfer documents, he saw that Irene and Emily were very close, like an older sister and younger sister, not simply a superior-subordinate relationship.
Therefore, he guessed that Irene knew Emily’s current whereabouts, or maybe someone in the Wine company’s leadership team would know.
“Deputy general manager, I don’t know where Emily went. I’m so sorry. She asked me to find a house to rent, but before I found it, I couldn’t contact her.” Irene stood in front of Brian, explaining miserably.
Irene wanted to beat the director of the human resources department for talking too much.
She didn’t know how he heard Emily ask her to find a cheap house to rent, far from this busy area.
And then when he heard Brian ask about Emily’s whereabouts, he immediately told him to go see her.
“Please, Irene, I’m very worried about her.” Brian’s voice seemed to be begging the person standing opposite to tell him.
“I don’t know either, maybe… maybe you should fire me.” Irene’s face was distorted, almost crying.
In the end, Brian had to leave in frustration. He and Emily were not close enough to know the places she frequented and could not predict the direction she would go.
This younger sister had not yet received his compensation and had already quickly cut off contact with him.
Even though he knew she was his sister, his initial feelings for her had not changed immediately, so he felt very uncomfortable as if ants were crawling in his heart and gnawing away.
After driving around the city, he went into the cemetery, lit incense for James and Daniel, and sat there, hoping that when dusk came, maybe she would miss her father and her fiance and come here.
After waiting for a long time, Brian also heard footsteps, but the person who appeared was Venn.
“Brian, you came here to visit Daniel, right?” Venn smiled wryly and asked.
“Yes. But the main purpose is that I want to meet Emily. I don’t know her whereabouts.” Brian answered honestly.
“Today my boss had to cancel several meetings because his mood was also hanging on the bamboo tree.” Venn sat down on the tile floor and sighed.
Brian also sat down next to him, not caring whether his clothes were dirty or not. Compared to Kevin, Venn is still easier to talk to.
At least Brian felt that this assistant understood things better than his boss and spoke in moderation.
It’s also possible that Kevin’s status and authority are too high, so when he gets angry, he doesn’t need to restrain himself because he doesn’t need to be afraid of anyone.
“I saw the rose bouquet. Your boss wants to pursue Emily, right?” Brian clasped his hands together and asked.
“I don’t know anymore, who dares to guess what the boss means?”
“Didn’t you come here because you guessed what he meant?”
Venn felt guilty and looked around to ease his shyness. This afternoon, Kevin had an appointment to have dinner with Leo, so he came here, the purpose was to see if Emily was here and then find out her new place of residence.
Although Kevin did not give the order, he knew his boss was still eager to know Emily’s news.
As for Kevin’s feelings, he also thought the same as Brian, but Kevin hadn’t told him yet so he didn’t dare say nonsense.
“Can you be less intelligent and quick-witted?”
After saying that, Venn gave a pack of cigarettes and a lighter to Brian.
Brian smiled, took a cigarette, and lit it. He also rarely smokes, only when his mood is very chaotic does he need to use this bad way to relieve himself. And now, his mood is no different from a tangled thread.
It was late afternoon and he realized that this place could not hold her footsteps.
When Brian arrived home, dinner had just been placed on the table. He listened to his mother’s urging, quickly took a shower, and then went down to eat with the whole family.
Looking at his mother’s happy and cheerful face, he felt heartbroken. If she knew that her husband had an illegitimate child, this look would disappear.
Maybe there won’t be any loud arguments because both of them are older and both want to maintain their dignity, but the cold war will make this place no longer a home.
“If you don’t buy the Wine company, you’ll have enough trouble already. Why do we have to bring suffering to ourselves?” Jennifer spoke up when she saw her brother just pull out a chair and sit down.
“Where are you using the money to say that? If you see your brother working hard, you should help him. What do you mean when you tell him to arrange a job for you and then quit?”
This is the first time Kent has criticized his daughter. Before now, he had always placed high hopes on Brian. As for Jennifer, he did not force her, as long as she did not get involved in things that would lead to imprisonment.
From the moment he found out that Emily was his daughter and that she was under a lot of pressure and anxiety when the Wine company’s situation went downhill, he changed his mind.
“Dad also knows I’m sick, I don’t feel well.” Jennifer pouted, sticking her chopsticks into the rice bowl.
“If so, you should at least encourage your brother and not say such discouraging words to others.”
“Come on, while eating, don’t bring work into the meal.” Calista quickly picked up the piece of meat and put it in her husband’s bowl, gently advising.
Because his wife had spoken, he did not speak anymore. His mind was now like Brian’s, focused on Emily.
When he heard his son inform him that she had silently disappeared, his heart sobbed and he regretted it immensely.
He hadn’t even arranged to meet her and talk once, even just as someone who knew her father.
Even though he didn’t nurture her or stay close to her, he wasn’t so hard-hearted that when he knew she was his child, he could still ignore her and not love her.
The meal ended quietly, everyone went back to their rooms. Jennifer, who was used to being spoiled, was suddenly scolded by her father because of something related to the Wine company, so she was extremely upset.
Therefore, she stopped her brother as soon as he approached the door of the room.
“You like her, right? I heard the company’s employees say that you bought the Wine company at a price higher than its actual value.”
“What do you know? Actual value? How much?”
“Why do you ask me back? I mean you’re wasting your money, you’re infatuated with that girl. Don’t think I don’t know anything, you neglected the company and clung to her for several days, more than a family member.” She rolled her eyes, her voice growing louder.
“So Dad and the shareholders are also infatuated with that girl? Can I make the decision alone? You should remember that a good businessman will create profits with conscience, without oppressing others. Today, if I buy the Wine company at that price, in the future, I will make it many times more profitable. Also, don’t keep holding a grudge against Emily when you inherently have better conditions than her. You make me feel like you’re cruel, gloating when you see her in trouble and wanting to kick her into the mud.”
After saying that, Brian grabbed his sister’s hand, pulled her aside, then entered the room and slammed the door.
He loves Jennifer, but he understands that if he continues to pamper her, not teach and advise her, she will turn into an evil person because of unnecessary jealousy.
Illness is not a shield for her to freely do immoral things without being punished.
Standing in front of the closed door, Jennifer was a little scared because of her brother’s words.
After hearing the news of Daniel’s death, she voluntarily quit her job and hid in the house, not daring to step out.
The day she asked Reid to create an email address and send videos to Daniel was also the day he had an accident.
The time frame of sending the email and the time frame of the accident were just a little bit apart, so she thought that maybe because of that video, Daniel was distracted and lost control.
Although Reid said no one would be able to find out who sent it, because she was the one who secretly filmed it, she was still scared. If Kevin finds out, he will kill her.
She just wanted Emily to lose her position as the wife of the second young master of Unicons Group, but she didn’t expect that it would cause Daniel to lose his life.
