Rosalind hesitated. It wasn’t that she suddenly wanted to join W Group, but she definitely couldn’t afford the penalty.
If it were just the penalty stated in the contract, she could grit her teeth and pay it. But if she had to bear the responsibility for the entire Wayer City resort development, she definitely couldn’t handle it.
Since Ulric was willing to spend a fortune to acquire Eastsun Corporation, would he really care about a resort’s development?
As the company’s president, couldn’t he make the resort lose as much money as he wanted?
For a project worth billions, even if she sold herself, she wouldn’t be able to repay it!
“Miss Ruell, please reconsider! If you change your mind, you’re welcome to join W Group.”
The HR department hung up, leaving Rosalind sitting dejectedly on the edge of her bed.
It was clear that Ulric had blocked all her escape routes this time, leaving no room for maneuver.
But why did he make this decision?
…
At the hospital, Johnny still hadn’t woken up.
After a day’s observation, his life was no longer in danger. Now they were waiting for the doctor Ulric had invited to come and see if there was a way to wake him up.
Lion had called Johnny several times to ask about W Group’s acquisition, only to find out that Johnny had been in a car accident and was in the hospital.
He hurriedly dropped his work and rushed to Johnny’s hospital. But now, no one could see him; they could only wait outside the ICU.
Mr. Chow knew Lion and greeted him when he arrived. “Thank you for coming.”
“With my relationship with Johnny, how could I not come when something this big happens? What’s going on?”
“The police are still investigating. All we know is that a car rear-ended Johnny’s at high speed, causing severe impact.”
“And the driver?”
“Still in critical condition.”
Lion sighed, feeling like all his troubles were piling up at once.
As they spoke, Mr. Chow suddenly looked up and waved in a direction.
Lion instinctively looked over-Ulric had arrived.
This was their second encounter since meeting outside the restaurant last time.
But because of Johnny’s situation and with Mr. Chow present, Lion couldn’t act out. He could only grit his teeth and watch Ulric talk to Mr. Chow about finding a doctor.
Compared to Lion’s anger, Ulric remained calm and composed in his suit, exuding an air of cold nobility. It was as if he hadn’t ordered the hostile takeover of Eastsun Corporation or forced Lion out.
“Mr. Chow, I’ll head back to the company first. I’ll return when Dr. Smith arrives in Northville City.”
“Alright! I’ll see you off.” Mr. Chow started to step forward when Lion quickly interjected.
“I’ll see Mr. Walters off. Uncle, you stay here.”
Mr. Chow didn’t dare agree immediately and glanced at Ulric.
Only when Ulric nodded did he say, “Alright then, thank you Lion!”
“No problem.”
Lion quickly followed Ulric out of the hospital.
Once outside and sure no one was following them, Lion walked faster and blocked Ulric’s path.
“Ulric, what do you mean by this?”
“Hmm?”
“Using such tactics to pursue Rosalind? Don’t be too greedy!”
Ulric smiled and casually unbuttoned his shirt cuff. “I acquired Eastsun Corporation because I wanted to. What does that have to do with Rosalind?”
