Ivy Smith pretended to be relaxed in the past few days, but the experience of that day had never been erased from her mind, and Candy Hall’s mention of this injury was like opening her scabbed wound and rubbing salt into it.
She squeezed her eyes shut, trying to expel those horrible memories, and braced herself to scold, “Shut up!”
Candy Hall saw this, and thought she was right, not only refused to stop, but also intensified: “Just beaten, what is afraid to admit, if you can also carry a child, maybe …”
Noticing Ivy Smith’s painful look, Eric Chan was about to stop Candy Hall, but she had already been slapped on the head.
Ivy Smith’s left hand was still in mid-air, and the end of her eye was also red.
Candy Hall gritted her teeth and covered her face, and was about to get angry when Joe Wright’s voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
“Instead of going to the doctor’s office, come here … Eric Chan?”
The person on the hospital bed and Eric Chan standing on one side, Joe Wright’s irritated expression on his face instantly faded away, apparently compared to Candy Hall, he preferred to get along with these two people who are not really acquainted.
However, some people, always can’t find their own position.
When she saw Joe Wright coming, Candy Hall thought she finally had someone to back her up, and pulled him in to complain about her grievances.
Joe Wright listened, glanced at her coldly, and then nodded slightly to Ivy Smith.
“Sorry, she didn’t know how to offend you, I’ll make sure to teach her a lesson when I get back.”
The sudden apology and the respectful tone of voice that should not appear, directly shocked the rest of the people in place, seeing this, Joe Wright secretly gave Ivy Smith a wink, and added: “Keira has been received into the Brown Family temporary residence, please take care of her.”
Ivy Smith naturally willing to sell him this face, a high profile “um”, and then casually waved his hand, claiming to be tired to rest, unceremoniously give the eviction order.
After leaving the ward, Candy Hall was sure that she had caused trouble, and no longer dared to mention the matter of backing up and revenge, and honestly went to the doctor for examination, not even daring to make contact with Joe Wright, afraid of being taught a lesson.
Delayed so much time, Joe Wright has long shown impatience, finally waiting for the doctor to finish chattering, can not wait to stand up and ready to go.
Seeing that he did not care about her at all, Candy Hall was slightly angry and deliberately covered her cheek and asked the doctor, “If I accidentally hit … my face and it hurts especially, will it affect the baby?”
The normal person which will hit the face, must be beaten, she really take everyone as a fool?
Joe Wright didn’t bother to talk to her and urged the doctor to finish with his eyes.
The doctor observed the five finger marks on her face and gave an awkward advice, “Uh, you are not in good health, it is better to recuperate.”
Candy Hall sniffed and looked at Joe Wright with a look that was full of aggression but hid a certain oppression and braggadocio in it.
Joe Wright did not pay any attention to her and did not say a word on the way home.
When they arrived home, Master Wright happened to be sipping tea in the courtyard. Although he had no affection for Candy Hall, he was still concerned about Joe Wright’s bloodline, so he casually asked about the test results.
This is good, Candy Hall’s fighting spirit instantly up, in front of the old master spouting bitterness, as if Ivy Smith is not to be intolerant to teach a lesson, but sincerely want to harm the Wright Family’s great-grandson.
Joe Wright stood by with a grimace, wanting to throw her out of the Wright Family right away, but forcing himself not to move. For one thing, he was still acting, and in order to make this woman pay the heaviest price, he must not easily reveal his foot.
Secondly, although he did not want to admit it, but the child in Candy Hall’s belly, indeed, may also be his. After all, the paternity test has not yet been done, Candy Hall’s private life is chaotic and lying, perhaps she herself does not know whose child is, so she secretly contacted the yellow hair, want to leave a way out.
That’s why he still doesn’t dare to tell Master Wright about his and Emma Rosy’s suspicions until now, and can only wait for the dust to settle.
The character of Candy Hall, when they first met, Master Wright already had a good idea, originally did not intend to care about this time, but finally was tired of being nagged, only to call the passing maid, let her cook some nourishing soup for Candy Hall every day to tonic health.
She finally got the benefit for herself, though it was a small favor, it was enough to make Candy Hall smile and smile, and she was beside Master Wright for half a day before she retired.
Staring at her back on the stairs, Joe Wright was full of gloomy face, really did not want to continue to be under the same roof with her, so he went back to the company on the pretext of something.
With the new company on board and the project restarted from the dead, the Wright Group attracted a lot of attention from the media and the public, and its stock rose as a result of the growing popularity.
With such good fortune, every employee is encouraged and motivated, and looks forward to great things. Joe Wright, however, was the only one who asked to leave at this time.
“What do you mean?” Emma Rosy was about to show him the latest progress on the project when the smile froze on her face, cracking and peeling like dried cement.
Joe Wright curled his lips helplessly: “I know the company has been having a good vibe lately, and it’s untimely to bring it up all of a sudden, but …”
“Why do you want to resign?” Emma Rosy did not want to listen to his scenes or sophistry, interrupted him with a sullen face and asked him what exactly his concerns were.
“I’m not in very good shape, as I’m sure you’ve already seen, and I’ll never be able to relax until Candy Hall is taken care of.” He exhaled deeply and finally said frankly, “Besides, if that child is really mine, my early departure will prevent the Wright Group’s property from being coveted.”
Emma Rosy shook her head slowly and was puzzled.
The Wright Family can afford to raise a child, and even if Candy Hall is greedy for money, they are limited by their origins and are unable to compete with the Wright Family, Even if they keep the child and give her a sum of money to get rid of her, she can only bear it.
Even if they keep the child and give her a sum of money to get rid of her, she can only bear it.
The worst outcome is that Candy Hall can live the life of a young grandmother and Joe Wright and her will never see each other again.
As long as the family works together, everything can be solved, which need to use such a radical approach to resignation?
Emma Rosy gave a lot of advice, but Joe Wright just despondent smile: “Emma, I am an outsider ah. In fact, my existence is already a loss for you and the Wright Family.”
Emma Rosy stared at him, her cheeks red with anger, her chest heaving violently, her hands shaking, squeezing them into fists, finally unable to suppress the emotions boiling in her heart, she raised her arm and swung it at his cheek…
The soft white hand, can be stopped in mid-air, Joe Wright but stood straight in place, not a hint of intention to avoid.
“Go ahead.” He even smiled and said so.
Emma Rosy clenched her teeth and squeezed every word out from between her teeth: “Why did I hit you, do you know?”
Arms dropping weakly, that look of annoyance was suddenly replaced by sadness and heartache: “Grandpa and I do have blood ties, but to him, you are the same. What about me? You are both my brother and my closest friend, confidant, and teacher … We are obviously a close family, so why do you always have to push us apart, why do we always have to be clear-cut?!”
Emma Rosy had a happy childhood, so she wouldn’t understand that some people can use their childhood to heal the pain in their life, while some people, however, have to spend a lifetime to heal their childhood.
Joe Wright is an abandoned child who may now have money, fame, and even the good fortune to have a good skin, but he has a sense of security that he will never be able to make up for in his lifetime.
He could give everything for the Wright Family, but he didn’t dare to really fit in.
“Starting from today, I will first suspend my duties and reflect on them, as for my resignation, you can think about it again.” After saying that, he left the office without looking back.
When she couldn’t persuade Joe Wright to leave, Emma Rosy was so depressed that she didn’t want to go to the noisy staff restaurant for lunch, so she drove two blocks down the road and found a quiet Japanese restaurant.
As she finished her meal and was about to pay the bill, another customer entered and, as if by telepathy, she looked up and met the gaze of Alex Brown.
“You come here often?” As she passed Alex Brown’ table, she asked casually, actually looking for a chance to ask Keira how she was doing.
Alex Brown saw what she was thinking, but pretended not to know: “Oh, I was just passing by on business.”
They of them are really lucky, one is in a bad mood, just looking for a restaurant to eat, and the other is passing by, so they can actually meet.
Seeing that he was not willing to pay attention to her again, Emma Rosy said straightforwardly, “How is Keira? I’ve been busy with work for a while now, so I haven’t been to see her much.
Alex Brown put down his spoon, folded his arms on the table, raised his eyebrows at her, and lowered his voice ambiguously: “Everything is about Keira, why don’t you ask me how I’m doing? Are you sick?”
“You …”
Emma Rosy was stunned, and then reacted that she was flirting, biting her lip and glaring at him, stepping on her high heels and leaving.
The next time definitely not to initiate a conversation with him, it is clear that he pretended to have memory loss to keep her waiting, and now this almost flirtatious look, what is it?
On the way back to the office, despite trying to ignore the joy in her heart, her steps were extraordinarily light, and when she entered the office, she was greeted by the staff, and she responded kindly one by one.
She thought this good mood could continue, but suddenly a group of uninvited guests came and broke it all.
When the secretary came in to report, she was reviewing the product planning for the next quarter.
Inside the meeting room, a group of people were sitting around grumpily, the snacks and drinks brought by the staff were eaten and drunk, the bags and peels were thrown everywhere, the originally neat and bright meeting room was now full of wreckage.
Emma Rosy walked in and saw her, the crowd immediately swarmed around her, men and women, young and old, the sound of shouting almost pierced the eardrums.
“Quiet!” She bellowed, “Send a representative if you have something to say, and if you like to make a lot of noise, then I’ll come back when you’ve made enough noise!”
She turned to leave and a middle-aged woman and man in his twenties immediately pulled her back.
“Let go! Say something.” She shrugged off her hand unhappily and ordered in a cold voice.
In fact, she had already learned the general purpose of this group of people from the secretary. They claimed to be Candy Hall’s family members, and heard that Candy Hall would soon marry into the Wright Family, so they came to the Wright Group to seek an official position, and preferably to ask for more subsidies on top of that.
The so-called allowance is also called money.
She heard it and felt ridiculous, but because too many people came, fearing that things would not end well after the big deal, had to come personally to set things right.
The middle-aged woman seems to be the “leader” of the group, when the first to indicate the intention, and then shamelessly put forward a few additional requirements: “We still have children at home, living expenses and tuition fees are not enough, since we are relatives in the future, you should pay to help. Then there is the job arranged for us, it can’t be anything like a cleaning lady, at least it has to be a supervisor or a person in charge …”
Emma Rosy hurriedly raised her hand to stop, afraid that if she continued to list, she would replace the Wright Group’s department managers and president with “own people”.
“I don’t know what your relationship with Candy Hall is, but let me tell you clearly, whether she can marry into the Wright Family is still unknown, so don’t dream about it before it’s too late! Emma Rosy didn’t show any mercy and refused their request directly, and drove them away.
The people were not happy about this, they wanted to see the elders of the Wright Family and demanded a statement for their children.
Emma Rosy looked at them coldly and warned in a loud voice: “If you have the guts to break into people’s homes, you can go to the Wright Family’s old house and make trouble, and see if the bouncers will throw you out first or the police car will arrive first!”
After a pause, suddenly and contemptuously smiled: “Of course, provided that you do not mind the ‘own children’ as a mistress to break up other people’s marriage, and unmarried pregnant experience is too humiliating!”
Once the words came out, the crowd instantly caved in and looked at each other awkwardly. Only the young man who was just left, relying on his some education, threatened to go to court to sue Joe Wright.
“Sue?” Emma Rosy snickered and nodded: “Then you go, but what charge you intend to sue can be sure to think well in advance, but also let Candy Hall cooperate with you. If you need help, I’ll get the Wright Group legal staff here, do you want to ask some questions in person?”
The young man was just in a hurry and found a way to threaten Emma Rosy, how could he really sue Joe Wright and how could Candy Hall cooperate?
Once he heard that Emma Rosy was going to call the legal department, the rest of the people were scared and did not say a word, and when they saw that he was also intimidated by Emma Rosy, they exchanged words and then left.
Not long after, Candy Hall in the old house received a phone call and learned that the family members she had sent were scared away by Emma Rosy’s words.
All of them are useless!
After she calmed down, she decided to go to Joe Wright to complain, even if she couldn’t get her family’s relatives to join the Wright Group, she could at least divide his relationship with Emma Rosy. She also decided to get ahead of Emma Rosy and prevent herself from being blamed.
She didn’t expect to hear Joe Wright on the phone with his subordinates just as she approached the study.
“In the future, you can contact Miss Richard directly for work matters, I have been suspended and will not go back to the company.”
Suspended?
Candy Hall, who was pressed against the door panel, stared at the door with wide eyes, as if a hammer had hit the ceiling, and froze in shock.
Joe Wright is the president of the Wright Group, how did he get suspended? Did she send her family to upset Emma Rosy and that’s why Joe Wright was involved?
Candy Hall doesn’t know the story of Joe Wright’s suspension, so she makes a smart move and puts the blame on Emma Rosy.
At dinner, she kept bad-mouthing Emma Rosy at the table, but she was choked by the other side, Joe Wright repeatedly said to stop it, but to no avail, even Master Wright looked unhappy.
Emma Rosy did not bother with her, and after the meal she went directly to the study with Master Wright.
“Grandpa, you know about the suspension of big brother, right?”
“It was his own decision?”
“Yes, I almost quarreled with him, but after all the good words, he still refused to change his mind!”
“Alas, forget it, the boy is stubborn, give him some time to rest, maybe one day he will figure it out.”
“But …”
“You said it yourself, arguing with him is not effective, grandpa can not tie him to the company.”
“Then grandpa, you must talk to him, I always feel that he is too deeply entangled to have a heart attack.”
“Good, grandpa has a measure. In the future, you will manage the company alone, it is also a kind of experience, but remember not to be too tired, everything has grandpa, understand?”
