Nelson, drunk and with a child’s grievance, said, “Charlotte and I really have nothing to do with each other.”
This was the first time in many days that he had been intimate with her.
He had the confidence to explain to her, but what about her?
Callie did not.
Nelson was clumsily trying to take off her clothes, ripping her nightgown in the process. He was desperately trying to prove something. Callie let him do as he wished, letting out a muffled groan. Suddenly, his actions stopped. He avoided looking at her, then grabbed his hair and pressed his eyes. This time, Callie heard his muffled groan.
It was also the first time he had lost his composure in front of her.
“Nelson, I suspect Charlotte,” she suddenly said.
The two were at a stalemate. Nelson frowned even more, “It won’t be her.”
Callie immediately got up and looked at him in the moonlight. “She is now the eldest daughter of the Ellison family. She has the power, and I fired her. She holds a grudge and it’s very likely…”
“Callie,” Nelson held her hand, “do you have any evidence?”
This question stumped Callie. She indeed had no substantial evidence. “I…”
Nelson’s face was stiff. After a long time, he patted her head. “She wouldn’t do that. Get some rest.”
Then he walked out of the master bedroom, leaving behind his unwavering trust in Charlotte.
Callie lay on the bed, feeling an endless desolation spread in her heart. Tears fell as she thought of Reuben. If he were here, he would surely trust her.
At dawn, the summer flowers outside were still blooming brilliantly. Callie finally got up. She stood in front of the large mirror in the bathroom and slowly put on her makeup. The mirror reflected her delicate face and perfect curves.
She took out her phone and began typing a message one key at a time.
Her finger hovered over the send button for a long time before she finally pressed it.
Let’s get divorced.
Currently, the structure of Oconnor Group was entirely centralized under Nelson. It was difficult for foreign capital to intervene in the group. However, if during Oconnor Group’s crisis, leverage was used aggressively to buy shares and domestic companies launched attacks together, even Nelson’s great abilities might not be enough to hold on.
After Callie’s incident, Oconnor Group’s market value evaporated by thirty percent. This loss alone was enough to severely damage it.
Speaking of foreign capital, as one of the top domestic groups, once breached by foreign capital, Oconnor Group would face dismantling and restructuring, rendering it worthless.
In politics, Nelson had taken many interests from them while serving as Oconnor Group’s executive, offending many people. If they chose to side with foreign capital and impose economic sanctions on Oconnor Group at the national level, the situation would worsen.
Clearly, they would not stand by and do nothing.
Foreign capital’s bearish view on Oconnor Group drew dissatisfaction from many traders. The Securities Regulatory Commission promptly responded that there were no issues with foreign capital’s funds and no insider trading was involved. As long as they complied with relevant laws, they would not intervene.
Among them, Scott Group’s attack on Oconnor Group was particularly fierce. Nelson had been at Oconnor Group for three days monitoring the stock market situation and was overwhelmed.
Many traders in the exchange were already showing signs of fatigue and slackness. As long as Callie’s issue remained unresolved, it would be increasingly difficult to recover in the stock market.
Anthony found an opportunity to report Callie’s situation to Nelson: “Mr. Oconnor, Madam has left Paucaster Villa.”
