FreeNovelEx-Husband Wants Badly to Resume Their Marriage
Chapter 489: They're All Innocent"I dunno, said Harley Cook.
"It's his private affair.I can't ask him about it.But I heard that the child was born prematurely because of something his family
did.His family is complicated.Perhaps he wanna take care of those messes first."
"His family affair is not gonna do you any harm, right?"
"Nah, that you don't have to worry about."
"I'll come and pick you up now" said Jayden as he retracted his eyes from the studio.
"Ok."
After hanging up, Jayden threw the phone aside and then adjusted his tie.
His face was full of mockery and disdain.
Tiffany walked into the office after the two's departure.
"Sharon, what do they want?"
Sharon pressed her lips against each other, looking blankly ahead, "It's about the Beale Group."
"The Beale Group! What about it?"
"It's been a complete mess since Tavis Beale's escape.They're without anyone in charge."
"So what? It's none of your business.What do they want from you?"
Sharon replied softly, "They want me to step up and take over the group so that they'll have a chance to get investments and
loans."
Tiffany sensed something quite suspicious.
"No, you must not accept that.Whoever gets involved with the Beale Group right now is bound to have bad luck.Let them do
whatever they want with themselves.It has nothing to do with you"
"That's what I thought as well, but....."
"But what?"
"The thousands of employees and many more people related to the Beale Group—They're all innocent."
Tiffany frowned at this, "Well, there’s no denying that.Tavis Beale is such a human s*um! He's the one who created this whole
mess.But.....Sharon, it's really not your responsibility"
Sharon lowered her eyelids, "I understand that."
Tiffany sighed quietly.
Understanding is one thing; what should be done is another.
After a while, Sharon spoke suddenly, "Tiffany, have you talked to Daniel recently?"
Tiffany turned slightly red, "No....no! Why would I talk to him?"
At least she didn't have to be bothered by him.
"I want to talk to him" Sharon said.
Tiffany was confused by it, "What solution does he have?"
"No."
Sharon didn't know how to put it, "I just...I just feel like he knows more about the Beale Group than I do."
Tiffany nodded, "Yeah.Makes sense.He tried hard to get close to Natalia Beale back then."
Sharon smiled, "You're jealous?"
"Shut up! I'm not jealous! I'm just saying what a skillful player he is.Natalia was being played like a fool."
"Alright.I'll see him later.You wanna join?"
"Nah.I have a blind date to go to."
Sharon froze for a second, "It's today?"
"Yeah.It's just a dinner.I'll go straight back home afterward.Just need some excuse to get out."
Sharon nodded thoughtfully, "When are you leaving?"
Tiffany answered while looking at the time, "Dinner's at 6, so I'll leave around 5:30.It's pretty close anyway, only a ten-minute
drive."
"Good.I'll drive you there then."
"It's ok.I have a car."
Sharon teased with a straight face, "Uh-uh.You see—if you like the guy, you can give him a hint to drive you home.And you'll get
to know each other more on the way.If you don't like him, you can just call a cab.But if you drive, then there'll be no chance at
all."
Tiffany somehow agreed with her words.Her eyes brightened.
"Yeah! If he's a handsome guy, I'd love to have him drive me home."
"So it's decided.I'll drive you there."
"Ok.Let me go change and put on makeup."
"Do it."
Sharon took a deep breath after Tiffany left the office and then called Daniel.
"You're free to come out?"
"Of course.Where?"
Daniel accepted directly.
"I'm still in the studio, but I'll send you the address later."
"Ok."
But he hadn't replied after ten minutes.
Perhaps he was going to work until late again.
Off the phone, Sharon searched about the Beale Group on the computer.
But, unfortunately, all the news was negative.
There were photos of construction workers sitting on the ground, looking extremely lost.
During the interview, they told the reporter that they had received no pay at all.
And they were afraid to go home to share the bad news.
So they could only wait there for something to happen.
But they had no idea what exactly they were waiting for.
And there was another story--one of the business partners committed suicide by jumping off from a building because he couldn't
handle the pressure.
Although he was rescued, he lost a leg.
And so on.
Sharon closed the page, leaned back, and let out a long breath.
"He" must've seen the news as well.
So what exactly.....was he thinking? Looking at the baby's breath outside the window, Sharon got lost in thought.
A while later, Tiffany knocked on the door, "Sharon, it's 5:00.Let's go."
She snapped out of the trance and got up, "Coming."
It was the weekend, so there wasn't much traffic on the road.
After about ten minutes, they arrived.
Tiffany said as she was taking off the seatbelt, "Alright, I'm off.Take care, Sharon"
Sharon smiled at her, "You too."
Upon Tiffany's departure, Sharon parked the car somewhere close and then texted Daniel the address.
Daniel lived no far away from here, so he arrived in twenty.
Sharon was waiting in front of the restaurant.
"Sorry for the wait"said Daniel as he was walking over.
"It's ok.I'm the one that asked you out."
"Shall we?"
Entering the restaurant, Sharon immediately found where Tiffany was sitting.
It was a seat by the window, and a man was sitting across from her.
His appearance was unclear because she could only see his back.
Sharon picked a seat from where she and Daniel could see them.
"Let's sit here."
Daniel didn't notice anything wrong, so he answered, "Sure"
But after he sat down comfortably, he saw Tiffany right away.
