“It was you who said that the preparations were proper before I agreed to help, and now you actually mention ‘accident’ to me?”
“Eh, what do you mean by that? I took the trouble and risk, and you just sat back and enjoyed it, and now when something goes wrong, you put the blame on me?”
“Then why don’t you say that the benefits are all yours …”
They argued endlessly, and finally thoroughly quarreled, seeing that it was about to rain, the guests finally refused to wait any longer and returned to the villa in pairs.
When they entered, they saw Alex Brown sitting leisurely in a long sofa with a clear bag containing a tall glass at his fingertips.
While the guests were wondering, Fiona Brown, who entered later, instantly went white and asked with a stiff smile, “Alex, didn’t you go to the guest room to rest?”
Alex Brown turned his head sideways and focused on surveying the tall glass, muttering to himself, “There’s residual wine on the walls of the glass, which should detect the sleeping pill component.”
Sleeping pills in red wine?
The guests looked at each other with shocked eyes flicking between Alex Brown and Fiona Brown, not understanding what this aunt and nephew were playing at again.
After all, Fiona Brown, who has experienced a lot of hardships, barely managed to keep her composure and smiled perfunctorily: “You’re drunk, go up and rest, don’t let everyone see the joke.” With that, she waved towards Ivy Smith beside the sofa, “Help your Mr. Brown upstairs.”
Ivy Smith didn’t move, her eyes crossed the crowd and touched Eric Chan who just appeared in the doorway, received the “OK” gesture from the other party, and only then spoke without delay.
“Madam put sleeping pills in Alex’s red wine, dazed him and then lured everyone to the garden in order to set fire and kill people, the matter has been revealed, do you still want to pretend?”
With a bang, the banquet hall seemed to drop a bomb, the guests backed away, shocked and panicked, looking at Fiona Brown.
The scene is a dead silence, the sound of breathing is clearly audible, Fiona Brown braced face unchanged, but the clenched hands can not stop trembling, the voice has changed the tone.
“… nonsense!”
Alex Brown stood up and laughed: “The truth is, you’ll know it when you hear it.”
Eric Chan quickly stepped forward and presented the recorder to him, and when it was turned on, the sounds of Uncle and Fiona Brown arguing in the garden immediately filled the hall.
“Where have your men gone, why hasn’t there been any movement?!”
…
“Then why don’t you say the benefits are all yours?!”
“I took the biggest risk, of course I have to take the most benefits. The drug is sent to me, the location of the fire is also in my house, even the party invitation is sent by me, when the police investigation, I must be the focus of the object!”
“But I also contributed a lot of efforts ah!”
“All right, all right, they are going back, come with me over to see it!”
The recording ended abruptly, and at the same time, the uncle in the crowd collapsed to the ground, his gray face like a dying man.
Fiona Brown cursed “waste”, but still confronted Alex Brown as if nothing had happened: “The recording without the consent of the person concerned does not have legal effect, Alex, you do not even know this common sense, right? ”
Alex Brown lifted his chin towards Ivy Smith, asking her to show her cards.
Ivy Smith, knowing this, walked up to Fiona Brown and said without expression, “Your son, Dylan Brown, was not born to you, he is the illegitimate child of your husband and another woman.”
Dylan Brown, as one of the next generation of Brown Group heirs, was actually revealed to have a questionable pedigree. The guests present instantly erupted, reacting even more than when they heard that Fiona Brown intended to commit arson.
And Fiona Brown stumbled a few steps, her noble head no longer able to lift up proudly.
Dylan Brown is not Fiona Brown’ biological son, but Fiona Brown was so devoted to her husband that she kept the secret, even single-handedly promoting Dylan Brown to the position of heir apparent.
The secret can only be called a secret if it is carried in one’s heart, and falling into the ears of others is like telling the world.
“Dylan is a good boy, he treats me like his own mother and will not harm me. …” Dylan Brown was disinherited by the family and when the guests dispersed and the police arrived, Fiona Brown still repeated these words.
However, Dylan Brown and her beloved husband never showed up from the beginning to the end.
When she got home, just after washing and changing, Ivy Smith came up to report the situation.
“Got the reply email half an hour ago, the other side wants sincerity.”
The last time she followed Alex Brown’ instructions, Ivy Smith had been working with the mystery man who knew her details for a long time, but the other party seemed to be very wary, and refused to disclose her information.
Alex Brown understood: “Don’t worry, I’ll be ready.”
Hospital.
After Master Wright was transferred out of intensive care, Joe Wright stayed at his bedside. When Emma Rosy arrived from work, he was still sitting motionless, looking like a wooden man.
Eva Taylor said he hadn’t had anything all day. Emma Rosy finally showed her anger at hearing this and ordered him home in a forceful manner.
“You tortured yourself so much that Grandpa will wake up? Don’t be childish, the Wright Family needs you to support them, and Eva, do you want her to accompany you in your fears again?”
Joe Wright’s eyes flickered, a faint mist in his eyes, and only after a long time did he choke up and say, “I understand … I just want to spend more time with Grandpa.”
Emma Rosy took a deep breath, helpless and heartbroken, finally agreed to give him more time, and then called Eva Taylor out of the ward alone.
“Emma, Joe is just feeling too guilty, don’t blame him.”
Just outside, Eva Taylor nervously explained to Emma Rosy.
The pain in Joe Wright’s heart, Emma Rosy understood, and took Eva Taylor’s hand to reassure her: “At a time like this, Joe needs comfort, and I’m relieved that you’re there for him.”
After a pause, she asked politely, “How is your family these days? I mean, has your big brother mentioned … anything about the company?”
Eva Taylor shook her head blankly.
Seeing her like this, Emma Rosy had an idea in her heart, hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell her the situation.
“If my analysis is correct, the Taylor Group may have some problems.”
The amount of money involved in this cooperation project is huge, even inexperienced managers should understand the truth of being prepared, and prepare enough fixed funds first to deal with unexpected situations.
Charles Taylor has been in the business world for many years, it is impossible to make such a low-level mistake, so there is only one reason left –
The Taylor Group’s existing capital is simply unable to support the required investment for the partnership.
After listening to Emma Rosy’s analysis, Eva Taylor still had many things she didn’t understand, but she trusted Emma Rosy not to lie to her, so she eagerly asked, “What should I do? My brother never talks to me about the company, so I don’t know anything, and I … I can’t help!”
Emma Rosy patted her hand and advised her to stay calm: “I will find a way to use all the energy of Wright Family to save Wright Group. you must not be anxious and pretend not to know in front of Mr. Taylor, understand?”
“But how can I pretend …”
“Eva!” Seeing her panic and lose her mind, Emma Rosy pressed her shoulder and reminded with a serious face.
“The reason why I told you this matter, not to make you anxious and afraid, nor do I ask you to help your big brother share the worry, only hope that you care more about him, try to reduce his stress, so you can understand?”
Emma Rosy made her thoughts clear before Eva Taylor finally realized the burden on her shoulders, and when Joe Wright came out of the hospital room, she said a few words of comfort before saying goodbye and leaving.
Unfortunately, she arrived home early today, but Charles Taylor was busy working overtime at the company, and only came home in the early morning.
Charles Taylor was surprised to see her still awake when he walked in the door: “It’s rare to see you!
As he spoke, he raised his hand to rub his neck as he walked into the dining room, pulled out a chair and sat down, and was about to ask the maid if there was anything else to eat when Eva Taylor ran into the kitchen and brought a steaming meal.
Eva Taylor placed the food on the table in order, then put away the tray and asked before leaving, “By the way, do you want congee or rice, if you want pasta, I’ll have the cook …”
Not waiting for her to finish, Charles Taylor raised his hand to stop.
“That, Eva ah …” flexed his fingers and rubbed the bridge of his nose, seems difficult to say: “You and Joe quarrel again?”
“No.” Eva Taylor answered quickly.
When Charles Taylor still intends to continue to guess, she took the initiative to explain: “I did not have a conflict with Joe, just a whim, think you work all day is quite tired, so filial piety you a little.”
How does this sound untrue, as if the sun came out of the west.
He quietly glanced out the window, there is still some time before the sunrise, Charles Taylor only slightly at ease, but he thought about it, still think it is not normal.
The only person who could make Eva Taylor change so much, besides Joe Wright, was him, did …
“Eva , in fact, dealing with company affairs, is not as tired as you think, and big brother has gotten used to it.” Charles Taylor pulled her to his side, his eyes probing her face, testing, “Have you heard something?”
Fortunately, Emma told her in advance, otherwise she would not have been able to cope with it.
Eva Taylor stabilized her mind and put on a reluctant expression: “Joe and I have made up, when Master Wright is cured, maybe we will get married, then I will move to Joe’s place and you will be the only one left at home, it’s hard to think about …”.
Hearing her say so, Charles Taylor secretly relieved, at the same time the bottom of the heart is also a faint feeling of sadness.
“The Taylor Family’s little princess has finally grown up and knows how to care for her brother.” Blinked hard, pressed down the watery mist, Charles Taylor intentionally tease her: “It does not matter, when I miss you, I will move to Wright Family, does he Joe Wright have the guts to kick me out?”
“You’re just a bully to Joe!”
After the heavy rain, the night was blue and bright with stars.
Ivy Smith sat in front of her computer, looking at the email she had just received, with a difficult look on her face.
It was the third time she had been offered a meeting, and if she refused, it would raise suspicions, but Alex Brown hadn’t finished his preparations, so if she rushed into a meeting, it would ruin her own pace.
She hesitated, but found an excuse to delay.
–The Brown Family has been in trouble lately, Alex is very vigilant, and the company is taking extra precautions.
–When are we going to meet? Are you really trying to avoid it, or are you just stalling to fool me? Fine, as you wish, we’ll cancel the meeting and cooperation, I’ll expose the shit you’ve done, wait for the police to come to you!
After the email was sent, no response was received for a long time, and the other party seemed to have left.
The face reflected by the blue light gradually became hideous and distorted, and finally picked up the keyboard and slammed it hard into the screen!
“Bitch!” Candy Hall cursed: “Damn coward, you think you can get away with this? You think you can get away with this? We’ve got a way of dealing with you!”
Threatening Ivy Smith with a meeting was the first thing Marisa Darcytold her to do. If she fell on her face just after starting out, Marisa Darcywould definitely look down on her and would probably not help her in good faith in the future.
This is her last chance and she must hold on tight!
On the other hand, Ivy Smith is urging Alex Brown to find a way.
“The other party must meet, and if we continue to refuse, we will definitely annoy them. What exactly is this ‘good faith’ you spoke of earlier, and when will it be ready?”
Judging from her reaction, the other party was indeed running out of patience. Alex Brown finally nodded and took out an information packet from the drawer.
“What’s this?” Ivy Smith opened the packet curiously, pulled out a financial record from it, flipped through a few pages at random, and realized: “So it’s the Brown Group’s account book. You want me to use this fake book to gain the other party’s trust?”
Alex Brown, however, showed a smile and nodded his long fingertips toward the account book: “Look at it, it’s the real thing.”
“But isn’t this too risky?” The books were the core of a company’s secrets, and Ivy Smith didn’t think it was worth it to use them as bait for information about an enemy she knew nothing about.
Alex Brown smiled reassuringly and told her not to worry: “You just do what you have to do, and I’ll make the arrangements for what to do afterwards.”
Recently, Alex Brown has become more and more secretive, and Ivy Smith and Eric Chan always complete their tasks separately, not knowing his plans until the last minute.
Ivy Smith secretly sighed, yet she was willing to trust him unconditionally even though she did not understand his ideas.
“Okay, I’ll get on it.”
A few days later.
Emma Rosy is busy investigating the Taylor Group and finally comes up with some results, only to find that the situation is more serious than she thought.
On her way to the hospital to visit Master Wright, she thought twice before dialing Charles Taylor’s number.
Taylor Group has such a large financial vulnerability, not overnight caused, as the person in charge, Charles Taylor must have known. She is not free to interfere with the Taylor Group’s internal affairs, and even if she wants to help, she needs to get permission first.
When the phone call was answered, Charles Taylor sounded light-hearted and seemed happy: “Emma, it’s rare that you reach out to me. Do you have time at noon? I’ll pick you up at work and have lunch with you.”
“I’m not at work, just send me the location of the restaurant and I’ll go there myself. And …” she pursed her lips, pondered for a moment before speaking with difficulty: “I want to talk to you about the funding of Taylor Group.”
The phone was silent for a while, she did not know if Charles Taylor was listening, and tried to “hello” twice, before a voice came from the other side. But the voice was extraordinarily cold, with a sense of detachment from others.
“Sorry, I suddenly remembered that I have a client to meet, let’s make another appointment.”
“You …”
“Dudududu–”
Before the words were finished, the other party had hung up, Emma Rosy frowned and took a deep breath, turned the steering wheel and parked the car on the side of the road, while then took the phone and got out and walked into the hospital.
Her shoulders were squeezed, and when she turned her head, Alex Brown was gazing at her with a gentle smile.
“The doctor just finished checking in.”
Emma Rosy sized him up in surprise, then probed the ward, “Where’s Joe, why are you here?”
“The doctor said familiar things could help Master Wright revive, and your brother went home to fetch the chessboard and records, intending to play them for him.”
Emma Rosy sighed helplessly and asked after him, “What else did the doctor say, and is Grandpa doing any better?”
“Of course.” Alex Brown immediately nodded and said with a happy face, “Master Wright’s signs are stable, and he can be operated after some more time of observation. The doctor means that there are many similar cases, and even patients in worse condition than Master Wright can finally wake up. ”
“Is that the doctor’s original words?” Emma Rosy raised her eyebrows slightly, seemingly unconvinced.
Alex Brown nodded with a sincere face and then told her about many cases of patients who had been in coma for years reawakening.
Alex Brown had repeatedly prevented her from communicating with the doctor and was telling her about similar cases, clearly a sign of weakness.
After pretending to believe him, she went into the hallway alone and secretly contacted the doctor.
As soon as the call was answered, a low, questioning voice rang out behind her.
“What are you doing?”
Alex Brown quickly stepped forward and grabbed her phone, his eyes swept over the screen, his face suddenly became more ugly: “I thought I said Master Wright was fine, do you have to call the doctor again?”
