The same orphan, Bonnie Brown is too easy to grasp Ivy Smith’s soft spot, and Ivy Smith into the pain of losing parents and the sour emotions of expecting parents, she simply do not detect the trap, but involuntarily began to feel sorry for her, pity her.
As for the misunderstanding just now, naturally, it was also written off.
“Even if you can’t get your parents back, Alex and I will always take care of you.”
Ivy Smith gave her sincere blessing, but in response, she had a deep and calculating heart.
Bonnie Brown sniffled and asked in a muffled voice, “By the way, I don’t think I’ve seen my cousin lately, where has he been?”
The mention of Alex Brown immediately raised Ivy Smith’s alarm, the gentle smile on her face remained unchanged, but her tone was perfunctory: “At the moment, the company is busy, where can he go?
Does this mean that Alex Brown has been staying at home for the past two days?
Bonnie Brown was suspicious, but before she could ask, Ivy Smith picked up her bag and left the house.
Leaving the study, she saw the maids working in the square room, so she went over and inquired, “What time did sir leave for work this morning, and why didn’t I hear anything?”
“Sir?” The maid took the rag in her hand, straightened up and asked in return, “Did sir come back last night? I don’t know.”
Bonnie Brown nodded, “What about the day before yesterday, did he come home?”
“This … gentleman is busy at work, and it is not uncommon for him to work late into the night, so I’m not really sure.” The maid answered truthfully.
Just at this moment, a low voice came from outside the square hall.
“Chatting during working hours, don’t you want to do it?” The housekeeper walked in with his hands folded, his sharp gaze swept over the maids’ faces, and then nodded respectfully towards Bonnie Brown: “Sir drove off at 4:20 this morning, and I personally opened the door to see him off, so if you have any questions, Miss, you can confirm them with Sir yourself.”
Seeing this, she smiled awkwardly and shook her head, “I was just curious and casually asked, since my cousin is so busy, I won’t bother him.”
Brown Group.
As long as Alex Brown didn’t show up, speculation about his condition became more serious. Coupled with Bonnie Brown’ suspicions and probes, he finally persuaded Ivy Smith to inject a medicine for temporary support and return to the company to chair the meeting.
Unfortunately, the drug can only last for a while, after the meeting, he hurriedly sat in the office, about the online comments he does not care, right now he is most concerned about the attitude of the board of directors.
The one-month period is coming up soon, he must hurry to arrange everything before the board of directors exert pressure.
“The acquisition of shares and the transfer of funds are at an end, when to withdraw, just waiting for your order.” Eric Chan stood by his desk with his hands down, his face calm as he reported.
Alex Brown believed in his ability and nodded approvingly, “Very well, we can prepare for bankruptcy after the final cleanup.”
Bankruptcy?
Outside the office, Bonnie Brown, her ear pressed against the door, heard the word “bankruptcy” and her heart twisted so hard that the coffee in her hand nearly spilled onto the carpet.
Alex Brown said bankruptcy, is the Brown Group only a shell of itself? If so, what was the point of her and Ben Brown’ painstaking struggle for the family business? If Ben Brown’ years of planning were to come to naught, would she never be able to escape?
Not daring to accept this fact, Bonnie Brown hurriedly hid in a corner and reported what she had overheard to Ben Brown.
Because of the hacking of the Brown Group’s internal secrets, Alex Brown ordered the installation of a recording monitor on the top floor of the office building.
The video was sent back to the computer in the president’s office in real time, with Alex Brown sitting behind his desk, a leisurely view.
Alex Brown was about to contact Eric Chan, who had knocked on the door and walked in.
“Mr. Brown , Ben Brown’ hospitalization information for the last few years has just come back from abroad, please go through it.”
“Just in time!”
Alex Brown hooked his lips and smiled, as long as there were any loopholes in this hospitalization information, Ben Brown’ plot to pretend to be sick would be broken, and then his only remaining concerns could be eliminated, and he could complete his plan in a more focused manner.
However, when he carefully examined the information page by page, his face became more and more grave.
“There is actually no …”
The physical status tracking, diagnosis, and treatment medication before and after the hospitalization, nearly four years of information actually did not have a single hole, it was like – fact!
Could Ben Brown really be paralyzed? Could it be that someone else was behind Bonnie Brown’ manipulation? Had his suspicions been misplaced from the beginning?
Tossing the folder onto the table, Alex Brown leaned back into his chair and tiredly raised his hand to press his brow.
Eric Chan cleared his throat and asked tentatively, “Mr. Brown, what are we going to do next?”
“Put it on hold for now, and act as originally planned.”
Emma Rosy woke up in a quiet and cozy time, the first thing she did was to check her phone, but unfortunately she didn’t receive any text messages or calls.
She knew he was probably busy, but the anxiety and worry in her heart could not be contained, but grew more and more with the passage of time.
After a long time of hesitation, she finally couldn’t resist dialing the phone.
After a few seconds of ringing, the person on the other end hung up and then opened the video.
Emma Rosy was overjoyed and couldn’t wait to receive it, her eyes fixed on the screen, and only when she actually saw Alex Brown’ healthy face did a huge stone fall from her heart.
“Are you busy?” Alex Brown was in a dark place, she did not recognize it for a moment, afraid to disturb him, her voice was very low.
Alex Brown smiled gently: “Just taking my lunch break and getting ready to go see you in the hospital.”
At that, Emma Rosy immediately reacted and asked with surprise, “Really? So you’re in the car! But do you have time, if you are particularly busy, I …”
–I can still wait.
She wanted to tell him this so he wouldn’t have to take the pressure, but the words wound up between her lips and teeth and she just couldn’t say them.
She misses him and is looking forward to seeing him, that’s what’s in her heart.
Alex Brown understood her thoughts, despite the intolerance, but still looked at the passenger seat of Eric Chan, the latter understood, deliberately raised his voice to report: “Mr. Brown, there is an emergency at the factory in the north of the city, I’m afraid you have to go personally to deal with it!
Emma Rosy naturally heard the words, the expression instantly became disappointed, but soon forced up a smile: “I am here everything is fine, you go first to deal with business, come back sometime, anyway I will always wait for you, sooner or later there will be a day to see each other.”
Alex Brown pursed his lips, a thousand words coalesced in his chest, and finally only spat out two slightly stiff words.
“I’m sorry.”
He had been working all morning and wasn’t sure how much longer he would be able to hold up, so to avoid worrying Emma Rosy, he had to use this method to avoid seeing her.
It might seem selfish to Emma Rosy, but it was his only option.
Hanging up the video, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and casually ordered, “Go back to the apartment.”
There was no response from the front row for a long time, and when he lifted his eyes to look over, he saw Eric Chan staring at his phone with a heavy face.
“Something happened?” He frowned, having sensed something.
After quickly reading the text message from his men, Eric Chan turned his head back and gently nodded, “The black business car that was followed to the apartment stopped outside the hospital five minutes ago, and a tightly wrapped person got out and went straight to the inpatient unit, but could not be identified.”
Since it went to the hospital, it is clear that the target is Emma Rosy, Alex Brown did not dare to delay, and quickly dialed Joe Wright’s phone and explain the situation.
“… you must guard Emma, not even leave her alone in the ward in the near future, got it?”
Across the phone, Joe Wright’s tone was more anxious than his: “Emma is alone now!”
Knowing this, Alex Brown ordered his driver to rush to the hospital as quickly as possible, regardless of the risk of Emma Rosy’s illness and the risk of reporters finding out her whereabouts.
In the ward, Emma Rosy was depressed after the video and went back to resting under the covers, unaware that she was falling asleep.
Outside the door, a sneaky figure was approaching the ward and was about to open the door when a nurse happened to come out of the next ward.
“Eh, are you a patient’s family?”
The person was startled, hastily hanging his head to pull the brim of his hat lower, muffled perfunctory: “Well … yes, is her relatives …”
He was saying, glanced at the end of the corridor elevator doors slowly opened, Alex Brown and Eric Chan came out, as if chased by a ghost, hurriedly running in the opposite direction.
The nurse muttered, “What’s wrong with you?” but did not take it to heart.
When he opened the door and saw Emma Rosy sleeping soundly, Alex Brown’ anxiety was instantly replaced by relief and happiness.
“You go back to the office first.”
After confirming Emma Rosy’s safety, Alex Brown waved Eric Chan away, but his eyes were glued to Emma Rosy’s face and his heart fell here.
So much so that when Emma Rosy woke up, the first thing she saw was the dark head buried next to the bed.
The person who had been wandering in her dreams day and night suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. She even suspected that it was a hallucination caused by her overwhelming thoughts and feared that it was another brand new dream, but when she reached out her hand, the hard touch of his hair told her that the Alex Brown in front of her was real!
The room was open to a window, and the breeze blew in, revealing a few cool moments.
Worried that Alex Brown might catch a chill, Emma Rosy gently got up, picked up a thin blanket on the sofa, and was about to cover his shoulders when a dark shadow suddenly flashed outside the door!
She turned her head quickly and saw only the corner of a black denim suit.
She was alerted and immediately opened the door and chased him out.
Before she could catch up with the suspicious figure, she was stopped by the nurse on duty.
“Aren’t you Miss Richard from the senior ward, why are you running around outside when you haven’t recovered? Quick, I’ll help you back!”
Emma Rosy tilted her head in the direction of the stairwell, not sure if the person had just run in there, and couldn’t explain clearly to the nurse, so she followed her back step by step.
At this time, Alex Brown happened to wake up, found the empty bed, heartbeat, behind a cold sweat crawled.
He grabbed his phone and scanned the time. He had only been asleep for about half an hour. Or did someone quietly kidnap Emma when he wasn’t expecting her?
He stumbled to the door with his hand on the handle, and the door was opened abruptly…
He was unstable and jumped directly on the visitor, only to hear the nurse “ouch”, frightened to ask: “Miss Richard are you all right, did you press the wound?
“It’s okay, I … can do it myself, thank you.” Emma Rosy politely watched the nurse leave, and then struggled to support Alex Brown’ body and walked towards the sofa with difficulty.
Seeing that Emma Rosy is okay, Alex Brown’ tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and the only remaining drug effect was consumed, helplessly collapsed into the sofa, and his cheeks and lips gradually returned to their bloodless state.
“You just … cough cough cough …,” just opened his mouth, is a heartbreaking cough.
Emma Rosy poured a cup of warm water to feed him to drink, and her tone was angry: “What else is there to ask, it’s my turn to ask you now, right? What the hell is wrong with you for making your body like this, do you want me to worry to death?”
It was a rare occasion for them to meet, and they wanted to cherish this time, but his frail appearance really made her heart alarmed and distressed, and she even suspected that all the text messages reporting safety during this period were fake, and even Joe Wright and Eva Taylor were helping him to lie together.
“Underdressed, go back to bed.” After Alex Brown drank all the water and barely suppressed the discomfort in his body, he took on his domineering stance again.
Emma Rosy didn’t bother with him, so she obeyed and went back to bed, lying down like him, staring at each other from halfway across the room.
“Come on!” Emma Rosy’s cheeks reddened a bit when she saw him staring at herself, and she urged him, but her anger had completely disappeared by now.
“… is too busy with work, no time to rest.”
Thinking for a moment, Alex Brown still moved out the usual excuse.
Emma Rosy exhaled deeply, not knowing whether she believed it or not, but she didn’t pursue it any further.
They looked at each other with affection and tacitly agreed not to speak again until exhaustion set in and they fell into a sweet sleep together …
Brown Family Villa.
The door to the second floor bedroom was wide open, and Ben Brown stood in the middle of the room, unconcerned about whether or not a maid would pass by, seemingly determined not to pretend.
Bonnie Brown stood across from him with her arms down, at his beck and call.
Knowing that he wanted to expose all the scandals of Alex Brown and the imminent bankruptcy of Brown Group, Bonnie Brown looked at him with shock: “Dad, is that too risky? In case the bankruptcy is a trap put out by Alex Brown, then …”
Before finishing, Ben Brown raised his hand to interrupt.
“If the bankruptcy is true, this move can make me get the most benefit, if the bankruptcy is false, oh, that is even more heaven help me, as long as the outside world believe it is true, the company will all belong to me!”
Ben Brown’ mind has always been inscrutable, following him for many years, Bonnie Brown has never once seen his true face.
If you don’t understand, just do what he tells you to do, anyway, even if you ask, he won’t explain more clearly.
“Okay, I’ll do it instantly.”
Bonnie Brown turned to leave and was stopped again by Ben Brown: “Is Jose Hawk here yet?”
“Dr. Hawk left 40 minutes ago, and should have arrived if there was no traffic jam.”
On the stairs, the housekeeper is guiding a man with a good image.
Jose Hawk is Ben Brown’ massage doctor. It is said that Bonnie Brown went to several hospitals to find an authoritative person. Alex Brown has been overwhelmed recently and hasn’t had time to investigate this person’s identity, so he secretly told the housekeeper to pay special attention to this person.
After a brief contact, the housekeeper felt that Jose Hawk was completely an honest doctor, so his alertness was reduced and his attitude was much milder.
He came outside the guest room, and the housekeeper was ready to knock at the door, but his raised hand suddenly froze in mid-air-
Because he saw Ben Brown, who had been paralyzed for many years, standing in front of him with a radiant face!
“Sir, you…”
As soon as he spoke, he was hit hard on his neck and slipped down the door frame without waiting for a reaction…
“The plan has not yet reached a foolproof level. Are you afraid of causing trouble by exposing your identity early?”
Jose Hawk dragged the housekeeper into the guest room, threw it into the corner, smiled and took off his gloves. The sharp and cunning light in his eyes was totally different from that just now.
Ben Brown sniffed: “I will leave tonight. My nephew is not a fool. Do you still want to hide from him? Let’s get down to business, have those two been handled?”
Jose Hawk looked confident: “Of course. The pregnant woman has been locked up. Marisa Darcydoesn’t seem to trust us very much, but she has done a good job on the surface and seems to want to deal with us.”
Ben Brown tilted his mouth disdainfully: “Don’t worry, let her play smart. As long as you release the news of Alex Brown and let this stupid woman appear at the critical moment, it will be her greatest help to this plan.”
As for the end of the plan, just dispose of it.
Jose Hawk had the same idea, nodding, but Bonnie Brown next to him looked blank and asked Ben Brown what his plans were.
“Put away your curiosity and do your own thing!” Ben Brown threw the other words coldly and went to the wardrobe to sort out his belongings.
