Before he could finish, he hurriedly hung up the phone, and when he turned his head, he found Emma Richard looking in his direction.
He had been extraordinarily cooperative with his treatment recently, and today the sun was shining and the air humidity was right, so Dean Wright finally relented and agreed to give him half a day off. Just as he arrived at Keira’s place, Eric Chan’s phone call came in just in time.
He thought Eric Chan had gone to the hospital and found out that he was not there, so he answered the phone without avoiding Emma Richard, but it turned out to be an emergency at the company.
Matthew Miller malicious accusations, Roberts Group stock turmoil, now it seems that Emma Richard heard it all.
Joe Wright had heard the news about the cold-bloodedness of Alex Roberts, and although he knew Alex Roberts and Matthew Miller well enough to know that there was something fishy going on, he was in no mood to get involved.
So when Emma Richard approached him and stammered for his help, he hesitated for a long time.
However, when Emma Richard stood in front of him, her pale cheeks showing embarrassment and pleading, her eyes shining as she looked at him and said, “Brother Joe, please help Alex Roberts for once, he is still sick and can’t take care of the company, and … he is Keira’s real father after all,” he couldn’t say no.
Alex Roberts sat behind the square table in his hospital bed, staring at his computer screen with a frown, while his assistant, Eric Chan, pored over the files, occasionally bringing important content to him for review.
When the knock on the door was ignored, Joe Wright simply pushed the door open and entered.
The two men, who were engrossed in their work, looked up and were puzzled when they saw him.
“I heard you’re in trouble, what can I do for you?” Joe Wright put on his usual cold face and got right to the point.
Alex Roberts is briefly surprised, but soon realizes that Joe Wright’s surprise visit is probably related to the phone call he received yesterday in Keira’s room.
Perhaps Emma Richard had said something to Joe Wright?
He suppressed his pounding heartbeat, his face slightly weakened, but showing an unruffled demeanor: “Thank you, Mr. Wright’s thoughts are noted, but I’ll take care of the Roberts Group’s personal business.”
Not appreciated?
Then forget it, Emma’s side has an explanation anyway, Roberts Group has nothing to do with him.
Joe Wright nodded and was about to leave when he noticed that Alex Roberts suddenly closed his eyes tightly and raised his hand to press his forehead, with a painful look on his face.
Eric Chan, who was next to him, opened the bottle and handed over a white pill, which seemed to happen all the time, judging from the proficiency of his actions.
“Headache still not gone?”
When he didn’t get a response, Joe Wright took a few steps closer, his tone a little impatient: “I’m asking you, how sick are you?”
Alex Roberts slowly looked over, the residual pain still in his eyes, as well as confusion.
“You said … what?”
Joe Wright looked over at Eric Chan with a start.
Eric Chan explained, “Mr. Roberts has been having more and more frequent headaches lately, most of the time accompanied by tinnitus, and he didn’t hear you.”
After the explosion of the car accident, Alex Roberts suffered some brain injuries, but it only caused memory loss, how did it suddenly become so serious?
“Because of that damn acupuncture again?” Joe Wright remembered that this is what the doctor said last time.
Seeing Eric Chan nod, he took a deep breath and looked at Alex Roberts with a face full of disgust: “I really don’t know what to say about you.”
After a pause, he asked again without good grace, “What are the specific test results?”
Alex Roberts has taken medicine, headache and tinnitus are gradually controlled, can hear Joe Wright’s voice, but for various reasons, do not want to answer. After all, telling Joe Wright meant that Emma Richard might also know, and he didn’t want her to worry.
Joe Wright pressed in vain and once again turned his attention to Eric Chan.
Alex Roberts had done everything for Emma Richard and Keira, but had to suffer alone. Eric Chan was already aggrieved for him, so he said, “Dean Wright said the president needs to recuperate, and if it gets any worse, he’ll have to go abroad for treatment.”
Dean Wright’s name was naturally known to Joe Wright, and he had a rough idea of Alex Roberts’ condition in his mind.
“This is your emergency PR?” He scanned the open file on his desk.
Eric Chan nodded: “Preliminary plan, still need to be finalized by the president.”
Joe Wright took it directly in his hand; “You make a testimony, I’ll take this document back to deal with it, leave the PR to me, let your Mr. Roberts get well.”
At this point, Joe Wright officially took over, fully handling the Roberts Group’s reputation crisis.
As Alex Roberts was being pushed to the forefront of public opinion, he decided to hold a press conference where he announced that Alex Roberts would give an official response to the recent news.
On the day of the press conference, Joe Wright was called by Master Wright before he left the house.
“What is the reason you are working for Alex Roberts?”
Master Wright’s face was sullen and he was very unhappy with Joe Wright for secretly helping Alex Roberts.
Joe Wright replied evasively, “Matthew Miller’s methods are sinister, Alex Roberts is innocent.”
“Huh, innocent?” Master Wright sneered: “The world is not short of innocent people, can you help?”
Seeing his silence, Master Wright added: “This matter has nothing to do with you. According to the current situation, Alex Roberts will most likely lose, and then what else can he compete with you?”
He understood what his grandfather meant, but there were many other things between people besides counting each other and calculating gains and losses.
“I can compete openly and honestly and don’t want to become despicable and hateful.”
Master Wright narrowed his eyes and stared at him, his lips tensed into a straight line, his tone gloomy: “How I taught you, have you forgotten? If you dare to walk out of the house today, don’t regret it in the future!”
“Grandpa’s teaching, I dare not forget.”
Joe Wright respectfully lowered his head and slowly clenched his hands into fists: “But this matter, forgive my grandson for not being able to obey orders.”
The press conference was held as scheduled.
Alex Roberts attended briefly due to health reasons and then rushed back to the hospital accompanied by his assistant.
The journalists present felt a little bored.
What the news needs is heat, and what’s the point of a press conference with no breaking news, just the truth?
Joe Wright understands this mentality and has already prepared accordingly.
At the end of his speech, he announced that the two companies would try to work together in the near future, and said that the recent false statements about Alex Roberts were in fact malicious slanders made by some business colleagues because of the failed cooperation.
Joe Wright’s “some business colleagues” also became a target after the press conference, and the identity of this person is not difficult to guess, after all, the person who initially smears Alex Roberts to the media is Matthew Miller, and then continuously creates heat for the matter.
