With the news of Master Wright’s hospitalization, the search had to be stopped. Emma Rosy and Charles Taylor immediately booked the earliest flight and hurried back to the hotel to pack their bags.
They were in the hotel lobby when they met Alex Brown and Ivy Smith.
Emma Rosy didn’t care about They of them and walked around them as if they were enemies.
“Miss Richard, please wait a moment.”
The sun was coming out of the west, and Alex Brown was actually talking to her. If this had happened a few days ago, she might have been a little excited, but now she felt disgusted.
Emma Rosy paused slightly in her steps and asked without looking back, “Mr. Brown, what can I do for you?”
Alex Brown sighed secretly, hiding the despondency in his heart, and handed a document to Emma Rosy.
“This is a few project companies in the neighboring city, should meet the Wright Group’s cooperation conditions, you can go back and screen again, if…”
Before he finished, he heard a “pop”.
The folder was knocked to the ground, Emma Rosy is still looking ahead, not the slightest movement between the expression.
Who knows if this document was a favor he was doing for her, or just another conspiracy. Anyway, she would never allow herself to make the same mistake twice.
Alex Brown’ hands were frozen in mid-air. After his last review, the doctor had asked him to reduce his workload or his health would deteriorate, and he had stayed up two nights straight to put this document together. He knew what Emma Rosy needed, so even if he was misunderstood, he wanted to help her as much as he could so she wouldn’t have to be anxious.
But… between them, how did it turn out this way?
Alex Brown’ silent dedication, Ivy Smith always looked at it, although jealous, but could not help but help him explain.
“These companies are not very famous, but they are widely acclaimed among their former partners, and if you investigate, you will understand Alex’s good intentions.”
Emma Rosy showed a sneer, and then said coldly, “You two are kind or have ulterior motives, I can’t afford it. Please tell your fiancé that there is no longer any relationship between him and me, and ask him not to disturb my life anymore.”
Emma Rosy without hesitation raised her steps towards the elevator, Alex Brown subconsciously wanted to chase, but an arm blocked the way.
“Emma has made it very clear, I hope Mr. Brown will be wiser and stop making unnecessary interruptions.”
Charles Taylor stood in front of him, his face clearly expressionless, but one could clearly feel the provocation and complacency.
The tenderness in Alex Brown’ eyes was instantly replaced by sharpness, and he mockingly hooked his lips: “If you have time to care about others, you should focus on yourself. With the Taylor Family’s current situation, how long can you stand by Emma Rosy’s side, don’t you have a sense of urgency?”
At these words, Charles Taylor’s eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had been stabbed hard in the soft spot, and the pain was so severe that he fought back out of instinct.
“No matter what, Emma will be by my side, so in a way, Mr. Brown and I should be more or less the same.” With that, he took a step closer and warned in a low voice: “It’s better for everyone if you and I just leave each other alone in peace!”
Hospital.
When Master Wright woke up, the first thing he saw was Joe Wright at his bedside, and immediately frowned, looking at the butler standing by with a displeased face.
“How dare you inform without my order?”
Joe Wright proposed to Eva Taylor yesterday, he already knew about it. The designer of the diamond ring was so famous that he needed to make an appointment a long time in advance. In order to show the Wright Family’s sincerity, he personally made a reservation so that the designer would expedite the production of the diamond ring.
Hope took the day off to take care of Master Wright and was standing on the other side of the hospital bed. Upon hearing this, she guiltily bowed her head and admitted her mistake: “Great-grandfather, don’t blame Grandpa the housekeeper, I told Aunt Taylor about your illness and asked her to decide whether to tell Uncle or not, I’m sorry.”
The butler straightened his back and sighed with relief as his grievance was redressed.
Master Wright, on the other hand, looked slightly embarrassed, coughed lowly a few times, and was busy reassuring Hope: “This… matter is well done.”
Hope understood that his great-grandfather was comforting himself, so he shook his head and said in a downbeat tone, “But I still got into trouble.”
When Joe Wright arrived at the hospital last night with a ring box in his pocket, Hope happened to see him toss it into the trash.
If the proposal had worked, he wouldn’t have done that.
Master Wright’s eyes fell back on Joe Wright’s face, measuring it for a moment, sighing, “They companies have nothing to do with you two, public and private must not be confused, you should know this truth.”
Joe Wright opened and closed his lips, and hung his head in silence.
Eva is a good girl, you must ask her to marry you, there is no room for maneuvering!”
Master Wright is anxious about his lifelong happiness, Joe Wright understands.
Marriage to Eva Taylor may really be the best choice for him, he had already gotten into the role and was ready to spend the rest of his life acting out the scene smoothly, but now…
“Grandpa, I can marry someone I don’t love, but only if she doesn’t hurt anyone in the Wright Family.”
What kind of feelings Joe Wright had for Eva Taylor may have been able to hide from the rest of the world, but Master Wright could see clearly.
“Alas, you ah…”
Master Wright sighed deeply and finally stopped pushing him.
Outside the door of the ward, Eva Taylor carried a hand full of nutrients and turned despondently to leave.
This morning from the restaurant, standing in the streets of the traffic, she suddenly a kind of abandoned feeling, desperately want to go home to rest, but also afraid that Joe Wright will really do not want her, so still insisted on visiting.
But the conversation between Joe Wright and Master Wright killed what little confidence she had left.
Back at Taylor Family, it’s been a night, and Sara Hollander is still yammering to Carl Hollander.
“This time is the cooperation of two families, not we begged them, with what…”
When she heard footsteps outside the living room, she stopped talking and came out to see Eva Taylor, and then rushed forward to stop her: “Eva, you are back, where did you go last night? Do you know that the Wright Family’s contract with the project company was terminated without permission, which caused our family’s stock to fall? You can’t marry into that kind of self-righteous family, you hear me?”
Carl Hollander retorted, “Don’t talk nonsense! Besides, even if the partnership doesn’t work out, the Wright Family’s power is there, and Eva marrying Joe Wright would do no harm.”
“The Wright Family is rich and powerful, will he give you a share? What is the need for cooperation when they want to suppress us at every turn?” Sara Hollander looked disapproving.
“You! You can’t just look at the immediate benefits of business dealings, but the future…”
Is it that they only have money in their eyes and can’t even fit their loved ones anymore?
She has been back for so long, only to see them arguing for profit, but no one cares about her a word.
Eva Taylor’s calmness finally collapsed and she said in a loud voice: “Enough! Master Wright has been seriously ill and hospitalized by you, what else do you want? Have you ever thought about what awaits the Taylor Family if something happens to him? All the things you are worried about will come to the Taylor Family!”
After venting these words, she quickly went upstairs and locked herself in her room.
Sara Hollander’s daughter came out of the living room and said with disgust, “What’s the big deal?
“Don’t be ridiculous!” Carl Hollander gave her a reproachful look.
Royal Awad snorted lightly as she hugged her arms and said, “The old man must not be dead, or else the Taylor Family would have been here already, and she wouldn’t have just thrown a tantrum.”
Sara Hollander breathed a sigh of relief and patted her daughter’s shoulder proudly: “My Royal is still great.”
“Just wait and see, I can do another great job for you guys.” Royal Awad looked up to the second floor bedroom with a smile that showed her determination to win.
Inside the bedroom, Eva Taylor had just washed her face and was huddled in the sofa.
Seeing Royal Awad suddenly knocking on the door, she forced out a smile: “You stay a few more days this time, I found some good restaurants, I’ll invite you to eat there.”
“Sure.”
Royal Awad picked up a pillow, turned around and sat next to Eva Taylor, looked around the room without a second glance, and laughed dryly: “Redecorating again?”
Eva Taylor responded with a bored voice: “Oh, I fell in love with the Mediterranean style a while ago, and my brother just had to redo the study, so he helped me with it.”
Royal Awad nodded, seeing that she didn’t feel like making small talk, and turned the conversation to Joe Wright.
“My mom is straightforward, as you know, but she had the best of intentions. I don’t think Joe Wright is the right person for you, either.”
Royal Awad and Eva Taylor’s usual social circles are not related, and naturally, they are even less exposed to Joe Wright’s circle. Eva Taylor was wondering why she said that.
“do you know Joe?” Eva Taylor asked, confused.
Royal Awad’s face froze, then she waved her hand: “I’m always abroad, so I don’t have time to know him, I just heard about him from my friends. You still don’t know, right? He once admitted it himself at a dinner party…”
The Royal Awad deliberately made a hesitant look, waiting for Eva Taylor’s anxious urging, before pretending to be angry to continue: “He said that he and you together is simply to hide the ambiguity between him and Emma Rosy. You silly girl, as well as your cousin, have been deceived by their brother and sister!”
Royal Awad’s words always echoed in Eva Taylor’s ears.
Although at that time she did not even think about it, she blurted out that Joe Wright is not that kind of person, and chased Royal Awad away on the pretext of taking a break, but how much confidence she really has in her heart, only she herself knows best.
After all, Joe Wright himself said to Master Wright, he can marry a person he does not love…
In the hospital, Master Wright took a nap and ate fruit under Hope’s care.
The housekeeper has gone back to the old house, leaving Joe Wright standing motionless in front of the window, not knowing what to think.
“Come on, a man has to be decisive, what’s the point of being indecisive? Marry Eva or not, it is entirely up to you, but do not delay.” Master Wright pushed back the strawberries Hope handed to him, indicating that she should eat first, and then sternly educated Joe Wright.
The latter then turned and locked eyes with Master Wright: “I understand that this matter has nothing to do with Eva and is entirely due to the Taylor Family people…”
Master Wright grunted lightly, still satisfied, Hope threw the strawberry into her mouth and winked as she watched him, waiting with her great-grandfather for his decision.
“When it’s over, I’ll re-propose to her.” After a moment of silence, Joe Wright said so.
At that, Master Wright was finally relieved, and Hope also handed over the fruit plate in her hand, smiling and blessing: “Aunt Eva is a very good girl, uncle will be happy if he marries her.”
Joe Wright pinched a strawberry, blandly curled his lips and said, “Thank you.”
Then he turned around and continued to stare out the window in awe.
Between the blue sky and white clouds, a plane was about to land.
Emma Rosy leaned back in her seat, her hands clasped tightly together, and mumbled in a panic: “Don’t go… you don’t go, what about me… you don’t leave… don’t leave me alone…”
“Emma? Emma?!”
Suddenly awakened from her nightmare, Emma Rosy’s eyes widened and stiffened as she turned her head to look at Charles Taylor, who was beside her with a worried face.
“Don’t be afraid, we’re on a plane and we’ll be landing soon.” Charles Taylor squeezed her hand and smiled reassuringly, “You’re worried about Master Wright, that’s why you’re having nightmares, we’ll go straight to the hospital when we land, eh?”
Emma Rosy still hadn’t returned to her senses, nodded in a daze, but her consciousness was stuck in the dream.
Inside the dream, the person who left her was not only Grandpa, but also Alex Brown.
The project between Wright Group and Taylor Group had an accident, forcing the suspension of the project, resulting in They groups suffering stock market turmoil. Emma Rosy and Charles Taylor, who were in charge, naturally became the focus of media attention.
There were dozens of media waiting at the airport to get the first hand information.
Before they came out of the pick-up gate, they were already blinded by the flashing lights. Charles Taylor protected Emma Rosy in his arms and was forced to move despite his loud refusal to answer all questions.
He had no choice but to throw out some inconsequential explanations to satisfy the curiosity of the journalists.
“… If there is no accident, the project will restart within a month, when They groups will hold a press conference to give a satisfactory answer.”
With Charles Taylor’s response, the journalists had a basic grasp of the matter of the project, but the enthusiasm did not fade, and soon turned their attention to his personal relationships.
“Mr. Wright is engaged to Miss Taylor, when will you and Miss Richard be expecting?”
“In the last two years, you two have been seen together, and have been photographed on many occasions on private dates, when will you open up to the public?
“The public is very curious about your relationship status, please answer this question too, Miss Richard!”
The reporters raised their microphones in front of Emma Rosy, and the flashing lights worked faster again.
Emma Rosy is already resistant to the media, and at this time is worried about the situation of Master Wright in the hospital, naturally not in the mood to answer questions, lowering the eyes filled with a strong disgust.
Charles Taylor understands her feelings “We are currently friends and want to keep our private life space, please do not…”
“Does that mean something good is coming?”
Not far away, Joe Wright’s assistant has arrived with bodyguards, Charles Taylor escort Emma Rosy towards them, in order to get out smoothly had to ambiguous: “If there is good news, we will announce it to the public.”
Charles Taylor’s words satisfied the reporters and gave way for them to leave.
Arriving at the hospital and seeing Master Wright in good spirits, Emma Rosy’s heart had been hanging in the air all the way to the ground, but when she learned the cause and effect of his illness, she wrinkled her brow and looked grim.
“The fall in stocks makes them unhappy, why not come to me, run to the home to embarrass an old man, what ability? Emma Rosy stood up, almost rushed to the Taylor Family to ask for an explanation, but remembered the relationship between Eva Taylor and Joe Wright, and then stopped.
she can’t ruin Joe Wright’s hard-earned marriage because of what happened at the company, not to mention that Grandpa is fine now.
Charles Taylor always stood aside and did not say anything. When he saw Emma Rosy’s face, he understood her concerns and said in a low voice full of regret: “I didn’t calm the family’s emotions, so they went to the Wright Family and made a scene, which damaged Master Wright’s health. The responsibility for this matter lies with me.”
He said, he bowed deeply to Master Wright: “I apologize to you for the family. I will definitely give you and the Wright Family an explanation when I go back to inquire about this matter.”
Anyone can say nice things, but if the apology is useful, the prison will not be so many criminals. Grandpa was fine for now, but if there were any after-effects, which of the Taylor Family could be held responsible?
Emma Rosy’s chest is boiling with anger, glancing at Charles Taylor, forcing himself not to speak.
“Well, it is human nature to chase after profit, this matter started due to misunderstanding, and now I am still sitting here safely, so let it end here.”
Master Wright nodded gently to Charles Taylor, with a kind smile: “Or because I am old, it has nothing to do with you.”
Charles Taylor was grateful for Master Wright’s relief and was about to say thank you, but was interrupted by Emma Rosy.
“Joe, I have to stay behind to take care of Grandpa, just now I met the press in the airport, some answers may cause public opinion, you can help me deal with it.” She hangs her head to peel the fruit, casually asking Joe Wright to help, completely ignoring Charles Taylor’s embarrassment.
