The police received a report and caught the main suspect in a theft case involving hundreds of millions of dollars, after which he would be stripped of all his positions in the company, his accomplices caught, questioned and prosecuted, compensated for the company’s losses and more than ten years in prison.
The matter is over and Brown Group is back on track, but with some of the recently lost projects hard to recover and only a small recovery in the stock, the situation is still not optimistic.
The board of directors met for three consecutive days to discuss solutions, and finally decided to build up Brown Group’s corporate image before starting to regain its strength.
The company’s image, naturally, is closely related to the president, Alex Brown.
“If Mr. Brown were to hold a wedding, such a big announcement would certainly cover up all the previous drama, and then contact the media to create an image of family harmony and happiness, which young people nowadays like.”
“It is best to set up a charity fund at the wedding, after the news fermentation can definitely win a good reputation as a philanthropist.”
The proposal received a lot of support, Alex Brown flatly rejected: “A charity fund is a good idea, the wedding is not necessary.”
Seeing this, the crowd looked at each other.
“Hum, what is unnecessary, I think you are still waiting for that woman two years ago, right? The white-bearded director questioned in a stern voice, then left in anger.
Immediately after that, all the directors also got up one after another and poured out of the conference room like flowing water.
The large conference room was empty in an instant, with only Alex Brown sitting in his place, like a lonely king.
Ivy Smith and Eric Chan quietly walked up behind him, waiting for a long time for instructions, Ivy Smith sighed and spoke, “I can marry you under false pretenses, and don’t worry, I will never rely on you this time.”
After a brief consideration, Alex Brown still shook his head.
“I owe her a wedding.”
He had lied to her so many times, failed her so many times, that he couldn’t go back on his word this time.
Ivy Smith, helpless and feeling a little irritated by him, said with rare encouragement, “Then go after her! Bring her back and get married, and everything will be fine?”
Alex Brown never wanted to get Emma Rosy back, but reality was always more difficult than he thought, and there were still too many obstacles between them for him to break through.
He always seems to have a lot of reasons, but Ivy Smith thinks they are all excuses: “You’re just a coward, afraid to face people!”
The sky and the earth are dusky, the knee-length weeds slope with the wind, and it seems to stretch to the sky, and the unknown four-legged animals leisurely graze in the sunset sunlight, – is the view beautiful? I have come to southern Tanzania to teach, huh, you must be thinking that I only fight and kill people like me to teach, is not a mistake? In fact, most of the children here are even difficult to survive, I teach them self-defense and hunting skills, also considered a kind of teaching.
…
Oh, said so much, also do not know whether you like to listen, if not hate, next time I will take more photos to you.
The content of the email ended here, Ivy Smith leaned back in her chair, the corner of her lips raised the arc even she did not notice.
Paul Johnson really left the country and did not take the money to continue to do evil, but to do something meaningful, this time she really did not trust him again.
Save the photo into the computer and click into the reply page.
–Africa is so good, why don’t you invite me to play? What’s the point of just taking pictures?
She was just flirting with the idea that Paul Johnson would laugh it off even if he saw it, but to her surprise, she received an email reply just a minute later.
–The signal here is unstable, the sun is too strong and hurts your skin, the food is bad, you’ve been living in the city, you’re not used to it after coming here. Unlike the women here, they work every day in the hot sun, wearing only a sarong on the face, never use those skin care products and cosmetics, very virtuous.
Ivy Smith looked and frowned.
What do you mean African women are very virtuous, is she very bad? Gritting her teeth, she replied with a stern face.
–Africa is good everywhere, you are not young, hurry to find a virtuous woman to get married, stay there for life and do not come back.
Paul Johnson seemed to see the point and immediately replied.
— I can’t get over the past, there will be no new beginning.
Paul Johnson’s past is monotonous and tedious, violence and bloodshed occupy most of it, the remaining corner is only three people.
Matthew Miller, who saved him from the fire but pushed him into a darker abyss; Marisa Miller, who was his faith and sunshine but destroyed everything with her own hands; and Ivy Smith, who took his hand in the rubble and brought him new hope.
However, in Ivy Smith’s perception, the only person who belongs to Paul Johnson’s past is Marisa Miller.
She turned off her computer and didn’t reply.
The Wright Family.
Emma Rosy and Joe Wright sat on the sofa in the study, watching together several videos sent by the private detective.
Since learning the true identity of the child in Candy Hall’s womb, Joe Wright had hired a private detective to follow Candy Hall and the child’s father and report on their movements.
Early this morning, They met again in secret on the rooftop of the hospital, and reached a consensus after discussion, yellow hair to find someone to forge a paternity test, so that Candy Hall can successfully marry into the Wright Family, the child grows up to inherit the property, when They share the fruits.
At this moment, the housekeeper knocked on the door and reported that Candy Hall was discharged from the hospital and had been taken home by the driver.
Emma Rosy hurriedly dragged him downstairs to meet the pregnant woman.
Before meeting Candy Hall, they checked each other’s expressions and had to show how much they cared for the baby, so that no one would notice anything different.
Today was not only the day Candy Hall was discharged from the hospital, but also the day Eva Taylor asked her to have a heart-to-heart talk!
“Joe, I’ve had a lot of back pain since I got pregnant, can you buy me an RV or a stretch Lincoln? Candy Hall leaned on Joe Wright’s shoulder, and when he didn’t push her away, she was able to get into his arms.
God knows, Joe Wright is already sickened by her sympathetic appearance, but now have to act, these feelings can not show a single bit.
Moreover, this way can also make Eva Taylor completely give up.
So he frowned slightly, raised his hand around Candy Hall’s shoulder, and said in a calm tone: “Wright Family has a stretch Lincoln, if you like, let the driver drive it.”
“Wow, really?! Honey you are so good to me!” Candy Hall exclaimed joyfully and stood on her tiptoes to kiss Joe Wright’s thin lips.
The maid brought over the slippers, Joe Wright turned around obediently and took the slippers and placed them at her feet, avoiding them without any risk.
“Pregnant women tend to swell up, it would be more comfortable to change into slippers.” To avoid suspicion, he pretended to be concerned and instructed.
Joe Wright already disliked women’s closeness, Candy Hall didn’t think much of it and proudly took off her shoes with the help of the maid, Eva Taylor always stared at the ground with her eyes downcast, not happy or sad, she seemed very calm.
At lunchtime, Master Wright kept her for dinner, and she readily agreed.
“Honey, is that white-burned shrimp, I like it best.” Just after the food was served, she pointed to the plate in front of Eva Taylor and pouted at Joe Wright.
Eva Taylor loves seafood, everyone knows that, that’s why the maids put both fish and shrimp on her side at Master Wright’s sign.
Master Wright immediately sank his face and his reproachful gaze fell on Joe Wright, but he couldn’t say anything more because Candy Hall was pregnant.
Eva Taylor stared at the kiwi shrimp in front of her and suddenly felt that the red, curled-up shrimp looked a lot like herself.
“You come, change those two dishes.” Joe Wright, with a stiff upper lip, beckoned for the maid and pointed to the plates and ordered.
After the dishes were changed, Candy Hall was still not satisfied. She glanced at Eva Taylor with watermelon juice in her hand and disliked her drink again.
“It’s not even the season for strawberries, this juice must not be fresh. Honey, look at them, they must be deliberately perfunctory!” She hugged Joe Wright’s arm to pout, the afterglow noticed Master Wright’s iron blue face, afraid, busy covering her stomach grunting in pain: “Ouch, just a sip of stomach discomfort, hubby …”
Not willing to let her sit here to make the old man angry, and can not continue to “spoil” her in front of Eva Taylor, Joe Wright breathed a sigh of relief, ready to help her back to the room.
They were almost gone when Eva Taylor finally couldn’t help but quietly raise her eyes to look over, and it was with this glance that Candy Hall discovered her hurt and aggravation and deliberately intensified it.
“Legs have no strength, husband, you hold me!” Candy Hall held out her hand, while turning her head to wink triumphantly at Eva Taylor.
Joe Wright, who had been soothing Candy Hall, never took his eyes off Eva Taylor and Emma Rosy, naturally noticed the former’s despondent look, but with only the last step left to succeed, he would not give up no matter what.
He leaned down, held Candy Hall’s shoulders with one hand, passed her knees with the other, and picked her up steadily.
Joe Wright walked out of the restaurant with Candy Hall in his arms, and had just stepped up a few stairs when there was a sudden clutter of footsteps behind him.
“Stop!”
