The topic of conversation between the grandchildren gradually left Joe Wright and started to talk about the trivial matters of life, Candy Hall didn’t want to listen to it anymore and went back to her room with light steps.
Candy Hall didn’t want to listen anymore, and went back to her room with a light hand and a quick step. She must be afraid that she would share the property with her son, that’s why she stepped down from Joe Wright’s position in advance, and completely cut off his financial connection with the Wright Family!
No, the Wright Family is unkind and unrighteous, and she can’t let them do that to her!
Mistakenly believing that Joe Wright had already united with herself, Candy Hall directly approached him for a confidential talk and offered to help him take revenge.
“Revenge for what?” Joe Wright is helping Hope to choose the review material online, he did not even look at Candy Hall, his tone is full of disgust.
“Why do you still care about Emma Rosy’s daughter at a time like this? Candy Hall got anxious and grabbed his notebook, and said with a serious face: “They don’t treat you as one of their own, can’t you see that? This time you were suspended, obviously forced by Emma Rosy and the old man!”
At that, Joe Wright was furious and confused, not understanding what she was talking about. What did he have to do with Grandpa and Emma if he wanted to quit his job?
“Stop talking nonsense and give me the computer!” He held out his hand and scolded sternly.
Candy Hall thought he was too embarrassed to face the defeat, so she persuaded him with a bitter voice: “It’s okay Joe, it’s just a suspension, right? I’ll help you find a way to get your job back, and then we’ll take the Wright Group over together. By the way, I also sent my family to Wright Group today to make a scene, Emma Rosy must be anxious …”
“You sent someone to Wright Group?” Joe Wright was reluctant to talk to her, but when he heard about this, he asked.
Candy Hall was so pleased with herself that she didn’t see Joe Wright’s anger coming out, and she told him what had happened, looking like she was begging for praise.
“Dare to go to Wright Group for trouble, huh, Emma is still too soft-hearted.” Joe Wright sneered a few times, his narrowed eyes and the veins in the corners of his forehead looked extraordinarily hideous, and raised his voice so violently that Candy Hall’s whole body trembled: “If I were here, not a single person would be able to get out in one piece, and at least they would be sent to the detention center so that they could learn how to behave!”
Candy Hall stared at him blankly, unsure: “How can you say that, I can be for your own good …”
“For me? For the money, right?”
Joe Wright bellowed, grabbed his car keys and slammed the door in anger.
The car was left on the street, Joe Wright strolled alone on the road, happened to glance at the bar is open, turned around and walked in a few steps.
He wanted a private room, but as soon as he entered the room, he saw Charles Taylor drinking alone in a booth, looking as glum as he did.
He considered for a moment, but sat down.
They men, who had not been close friends, now became confidants because of the same low mood, and drank freely to talk about their hearts, and as the night wore on, they got drunk.
As for what happened after the drunkenness, no one can remember, but the next morning woke up, but in the hotel double bed.
The room had no curtains, and the morning light was pouring through the window, and They people on the bed were staring at each other in horror.
“Charles Taylor,” Joe Wright’s throat rolled, his voice raspy with a hangover: “Can you explain … this… … what the hell is going on here?”
Charles Taylor had a headache, subconsciously raised his hand to press his brow, suddenly remembered something, hastily retracted his hand to cover his naked upper body, awkwardly cleared his throat and said, “That … first give me the quilt.”
Joe Wright tentatively lifted the quilt slit, confirming that he was still wearing a T-shirt and underwear, finally relieved, but the quilt certainly can not give, otherwise too insecure.
In fact, each other are men, even if frankly see each other also nothing to be embarrassed, just this time, this place, plus last night’s experience, really easy to let people think, so each of them red face.
Charles Taylor quickly put back on his clothes calmly, and then looked at Joe Wright, who was still clinging to the quilt: “Last night you said you wanted to leave home for a while, if you don’t mind, why not come to live with the Taylor Family for a while. Even though you and Eva … can continue to be friends.”
Seeing that he still remembered his drunken words, Joe Wright was grateful and finally relaxed, remembering how he looked like an enemy just now, and even felt funny.
Looking at each other for a few seconds, they both burst out laughing at this “special” experience, and the awkwardness was dispelled, but Joe Wright did not agree to the offer to stay at the Taylor Family.
Charles Taylor knew what he was worried about and took the initiative to explain, “Eva and her friends are traveling abroad for two or three months, so you don’t have to worry.”
At the same time, Eva Taylor threw her backpack into the sofa and dashed upstairs to tell her big brother about her unlucky experience of a failed trip …
The door slammed open with a bang, and Eva Taylor rushed in, wailing with a bitter face, but her voice stuck in her throat.
In front of the bedroom bed, Joe Wright froze midway through putting on his shirt, the skin of his cheeks and neck slightly flushed from a fresh shower, and his wet hair still dripping on his forehead.
They stared at each other dumbfounded, Charles Taylor came out of the bathroom, carefully studying the hair dryer in his hand: “just replaced shortly after the new, should be fine, maybe the bathroom circuit …”
The words were not finished, noticing Eva Taylor at the door, instantly turned into three people looking at each other face to face.
“Brother, you guys … me … him …,” Eva Taylor fingertips turned several times, but open mouth can not say the complete words.
She could not imagine that her recently broken up fiancé would actually have certain … indescribable things with her big brother, could it be that they both had certain … indescribable feelings because they loved Emma but could not, and were in the same boat?
Finally see what she misunderstood, Joe Wright quickly turned his back and put on his clothes, Charles Taylor saw the situation also hurried to explain: “Last night Joe and I drunk, he … some inconvenience, so temporarily live here. ”
Eva Taylor did not even have time to heartache: “What exactly does he have ‘inconvenient’?”
Charles Taylor a choke, lick the lower lip to say no words, this time Joe Wright has been fully dressed, understand that he wants to help himself to maintain face, but in order to stop Eva Taylor continue to guess, can only be frank: “Candy Hall moved into the Wright Family, I don’t want to see her so I asked your brother to help.”
At that, Eva Taylor finally let out a long breath and patted her chest and whispered, “I’m scared to death!”
Although she didn’t mind her brother’s sexual orientation, it would have been too embarrassing and cruel if the other person was someone she loved dearly, but luckily it was just a misunderstanding.
After a moment of silence, Joe Wright looked at They siblings and took the initiative to say goodbye.
Charles Taylor was a little embarrassed, after all, he personally promised his sister would return in two or three months, but Joe Wright just showered after such an embarrassing scene, and asked Eva Taylor with a sullen face how she could change her schedule.
From the look of They, Eva Taylor also guessed that she came back at a bad time, she helplessly spread her hands: “That small island country in northern Europe has a cold spell and blizzard all year round, I have said that it is not fun, they insisted on going, but the plane just took off and received news that the cold spell invaded there, it is impossible to land.”
Seeing that Joe Wright was ready to leave, she looked down and considered for a moment, then suddenly said, “If you have no place to go, you can stay here, anyway, my house has many rooms, and you are not the only one.”
The tone is not good, but the original intention is to stay Joe Wright, Charles Taylor understand his sister, so also help persuade: “Yes, last night at the drink also said friends, friends do not need to worry too much.”
Joe Wright thought about it for a moment, but chose to stay.
In the evening, there were three people sitting around the table, and it was even colder than before, when there were more people.
Eva Taylor didn’t like the feeling that her relationship with Joe Wright had fallen apart when they didn’t become husband and wife, and that even the good memories they had had had disappeared, leaving only an endless estrangement.
So when the maid served the food, she purposely had nothing to say: “The fish is cooked very well today, it tastes fresh.”
The maid, also a talkative person, smiled and said, “Steamed sea bass, the chef went to the reservoir early in the morning to catch it, and specially saved one for you to try.”
“Thank him for me, I’ve gained a lot of weight recently, I should ask big brother to give him a pay rise.” Eva Taylor changed her tone and joked about Charles Taylor.
Charles Taylor naturally agreed, along with other people’s salaries also increased.
The maid was happy and smiling and talked more: “Young master and young lady are really generous, when Mr. Wright and young lady get married, the house will be more lively!”
With her words, the smiles of the three people at the table gradually disappeared.
It was only when Eva Taylor dropped her chopsticks with a “pop” and walked out of the restaurant with a sullen look on her face that she finally stopped talking, but she looked confused and still didn’t know what she had said wrong.
“Eva and I have broken off our engagement.” Joe Wright told the truth.
He felt that things had come to such a head that he should not stay any longer, so he put down his dishes and said goodbye to Charles Taylor.
Charles Taylor could not persuade him, so he had to see him out of the restaurant, but when he passed by the living room, Eva Taylor heard the voice inside and shouted in anger: “If you want to go back to your mistress’ home, get out of here, don’t be an eyesore!”
“Eva!” The shrew-like shouting, not like a lady’s appearance, Charles Taylor black face sternly reprimanded, and then apologized to Joe Wright.
The person who made the mistake again and again was himself, Joe Wright how could go to blame Eva Taylor, politely smiled and said it was okay, and then quickly walked away.
Charles Taylor chased him out the door, but Joe Wright had already gotten into a cab and left. When he returned to the living room, he was ready to teach Eva Taylor a lesson, but he saw that the little girl had turned into tears.
Charles Taylor thought to himself, he was not as brave and determined as his sister, so who was he to blame her? Finally, he could only hold her in his arms and comfort her as he had done every time.
Late at night, Joe Wright was lying in his hotel room when he received a phone call from Master Wright.
In the past, the old man had already gone to bed at this time, but today he must have had trouble sleeping because of his departure, and although he was sorry and distressed, he could not agree to his request to return.
“Grandpa, I’ve caused too much trouble for the Wright Family to …” he said, trying to explain his thoughts calmly, but he couldn’t stop choking up as soon as he spoke.
Across the phone, Master Wright also teary-eyed: “Emma will solve those things, good boy, come home.”
He shook his head hard and wiped away his tears: “I promised you that I would take care of Emma, and now I’ve turned it upside down … Anyway, I don’t have the face to go back to the Wright Group or to see you until this Candy Hall thing is settled once and for all. ”
“You silly boy, how many times have you saved Emma in the past, now she helps you instead, what’s not working?” Master Wright sighed deeply again, helplessly: “I know, you grew up stubborn and do not listen to advice. So, whatever you want to do is up to you, but must live well, understand?”
“Grandpa …”
Joe Wright closed his eyes tightly and finally hung up the phone, curled up under the covers and cried in a dumb voice.
The crisis of confidence in the Brown Group from the outside world was long overdue.
Alex Brown was so distraught by the public opinion and the constant crowd of journalists that surrounded the company that he went to the extent of hiring an additional public relations firm with the intention of resolving the matter through outside means. The PR firm charged for their services, but no progress was made for half a month, and shifted the blame, saying that the Brown Group’s failure to launch a timely response strategy had delayed the best possible time.
“It’s a lie!” Alex Brown slapped his palm on his desk and sternly questioned: “Your company’s registered name is Crisis PR Response, if not for the critical situation, I would have called you? What, now that you’re not competent enough to ride the tiger, you’re looking for excuses?
The other company seems to be emboldened, still full of slack circumlocution: “Mr. Brown, you are too radical, although I told you the worst case scenario, but also behind the back has been working hard ah, you can not because things did not work out, we have all the efforts to erase.”
“Efforts? Paying for it?”
Alex Brown grunted and held out his hand to Eric Chan, taking a copy of the information and flipping through the pages to read in a deep voice what their boss had done.
The time was too short for Eric Chan to collect enough information, but if it was sent to the judicial department, it would be enough to crack down on this company after confirmation.
The manager of the other party was so scared that he couldn’t even say the whole thing, shivering and pleading: “Mr. Brown, you … must not believe these hearsay news … Anyway, what you ordered us to do we have been sure to You can rest assured.”
“According to the time limit on the contract, after the expiration of the contract is not completed, I will immediately go through the judicial process.” Alex Brown face expressionless threat.
“Okay, okay, I promise to finish the job!”
After the phone call hung up, Alex Brown handed the information to Eric Chan and asked him to print a few more copies just in case.
Seeing that Alex Brown was really ready to sue the PR firm, the legal manager couldn’t help but remind him, “Mr. Brown, the company’s situation is not optimistic today. …”
“That’s exactly what I want.” Before he could finish, Alex Brown gave a meaningful explanation.
Unfortunately, the manager and Eric Chan looked at each other in bewilderment, not understanding the real purpose of his move.
Alex Brown leaned back in his chair with a sly smile at the corner of his mouth.
Everyone thought that the theft of the design was over, but the missing design still hasn’t appeared until now. The board of directors’ idiots guessed that cousin uncle hated too much and that’s why he bit the bullet and refused to admit it, but he didn’t think so.
The cousin uncle and the hacker cooperate because of the interests, naturally, they can also betray each other because of the interests, to explain the whereabouts of the design is bound to reduce the penalty, they should have scrambled to explain, and how would they unanimously choose to hide?
Then, there is only one possibility left.
The situation was not yet clear, so he could not reveal his thoughts yet. After a few perfunctory words, he asked Eric Chan to do a few things, and then got up to visit Ivy Smith in the hospital.
Ivy Smith was walking in the garden, and when she saw Alex Brown, she wanted to greet him, but saw that he looked different, so she hastened to silence him.
When he got closer, he asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”
“The weather is nice, you really should get outside more often, and your body can recover faster.” Alex Brown did not answer, but opened the umbrella in his hand to shade her from the sun.
In the direction of the bent umbrella handle, a figure was watching the area under the cover of the trees’ lush foliage, pretending to enjoy the scenery.
Ivy Smith immediately understood and played along with Alex Brown, and soon said she was tired of walking and needed to go back to rest.
Just after entering the ward, Eric Chan called.
“Mr. Brown, you’re amazing! When I went to make copies, someone really came to talk to me, and then someone from the finance department reported that the company’s accounts had been changed by senior management.” Eric Chan lowered his voice and speculated, “We were the only three people there, so did the legal department have a problem?”
“Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?”
