FreeNovelChapter 601 "Sure thing." Bella was quick to agree, then she got up and said to me, "I'm going to check on Ramona. Seeing how worried you've been, pacing back and forth, I've had less interaction with her, so I might not upset her as much. Maybe she'll even remember me." I nodded, "But can you promise me, to tellanything that happens? Don't hide anything. I can handle it." "You think you can handle it?" Bella poked my forehead, saying, "I asked Gregory on the way here. He wouldn't dare lie to his future mother-in- law. You being rushed into the emergency room last night, you conveniently left that out of our earlier chat." I touched my nose, a bit embarrassed.
Indeed, I had omitted that detail when speaking frankly with her earlier.
Even though I was standing here perfectly fine now, my mom was definitely still shaken by the event.
Mainly because she'd worry, and most likely wouldn't agree withstaying at the hospital.
She's already busy, having to allocate her energy to deal with my situation too.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnd it wasn't even her place to deal with Ramona's situation.
She and Victor weren't married, not even an ex-wife, so Ramona wasn't her mother-in-law.
"My bad," I said with a playful pout, "I promise, it won't happen again." "It better not." Bella patted my head. "Alright, don't worry. I won't keep anything from you." "Can I go check on her now?" "After you," I ushered my mom to the hospital room door with a gesture.
Mom gavea playful glare.
She was naturally beautiful, and that look, combined with her charm, was stunning.
No wonder she remained a star in the entertainment industry.
After mom left the hospital room, I was puzzled, "Why do you think Victor would cheat on mom with Pearl, who's not nearly as good as her?" Christine, munching on sfruit mom had brought, lifted her plastic fork and began to explain as if delivering a lecture.
"Men always think the grass is greener on the other side, always wanting a taste of what they haven't had." "Pearl might not match up to your mother in any way, but she's less assertive on the surface. Even if she curses Victor out in her heart, she'd still speak the sweet nothings he loves to hear." "Guys like being adored, being charmed. Your mother is undoubtedly beautiful, but she's not the type to coddle others; she's the one who needs pampering." She was right about that.
After chatting for a bit more, my curiosity got the better of me, "You're articulate and charming, but you're not one to go against your own feelings to flatter someone. So how did you end up with Dailey?" Christine shoved a fig into my mouth, "I'd rather not talk about him." I chewed thoughtfully, "Alright, let's drop it." A few seconds later, Christine sighed softly and volunteered, "I couldn't bring myself to do something that would hurt someone else." "I just want to know, do you really like Dailey that much?" The room fell silent.
It took Christine a long tto respond, as if struggling with her m emotions before finally admitting, "When Steven got married, I never heard Dailey express as much pain as he did for his lost love... Ford Group.
The boardroom was set for a high-level meeting.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Hanson Ford walked in, he immediately noticed Gregory sitting in the chair that traditionally belonged to him.
The directors and executives all looked down, avoiding eye contact.
"President Ford's here? Don't just stand there, have a seat," Gregory said with a with a casual smile, gesturing to the seat next to him. The boardroom at was dead silent; no one dared to speak. Just ten minutes before Hanson's arrival, everyone had received information that could be used against them.
They knew well that with the prince's return, the Ford Group was on the verge of a leadership change.
But Hanson was stubborn, unwilling to fully relinquish control.
He recognized Gregory's competence but couldn't stand his arrogance.
Having committed his fair share of wrongs, Hanson clung to the reins of the Ford family, fearing the day En Gregory might cast him out. "You're just the CEO; I'm the one with the majority shares. I'm the decision-maker, the real power behind the Ford Group." X
