“Don’t mention her! Don’t push me to get angry with you!”
Johnny couldn’t stand hearing Sirena’s name anymore!
“What’s wrong? Weren’t you two close before?”
“She kidnapped Rosalind’s daughter, tried to go after Rosalind, and when it didn’t work out, she stabbed Ulric and tried to die with him!”
“Sirena?”
“Isn’t that who you were talking about?”
Lion was silent for a long time, and just when Johnny thought the call had ended, Lion hurriedly said, “I’ve got something going on. I can’t talk right now. I gotta go.”
As Johnny stared at the suddenly disconnected call, his frustration grew!
On Lion’s side, he was nearly losing grip on his phone, anxious that Johnny might catch on to something, which was why he hastily hung up.
Lion had already suspected something was wrong with Ulric. Otherwise, W Group wouldn’t have sent a secretary to meet with all their business partners. With the lockdown of Central Union Hospital, Lion concluded Ulric must have been injured.
Then Rosalind suddenly went missing as well, leading him to believe she had gone to find Ulric.
What Lion never expected was that the whole situation had been instigated by none other than Sirena!
After learning that Rosalind had a daughter, she actually went and kidnapped her daughter! Sirena had promised him she would never harm Rosalind or her child!
No wonder he couldn’t reach Rosalind no matter how many times he tried. That lunatic Sirena must have exposed him!
“Damn it! How could I be so foolish!”
In a fit of rage, Lion threw his phone, shattering the screen.
He quickly stood up, grabbed his suit jacket and car keys, and headed straight to Sirena’s place.
But no matter how hard he knocked or rang the doorbell, there was no response! Just like when he called her, she never picked up!
Lion was unwilling to accept this! He hadn’t even had the chance to act, and he was already out of the game! He had meticulously planned everything, counting on Sirena to cooperate…
Driving home in a daze, as soon as Lion parked the car, he saw his secretary standing at the door.
She seemed to have urgent business with him.
Lion got out of the car and walked over, “What’s going on?”
Seeing Lion, the secretary looked as if she was about to cry, “Boss, I couldn’t get through to you on the phone, so I came to find you! It’s bad news! The president of W Group suddenly issued an order to drive Eastsun Corporation’s stock price down to the lowest point, and then without warning, announced its closure and dissolution.”
“Your stocks have plummeted drastically. They’re now worth less than one-tenth of what you previously acquired!”
It meant that after years of toil, Lion’s efforts had turned into mere bubbles, reduced to a useless string of green numbers.
Ulric was ruthless! He didn’t give Lion a chance to act and struck right at his core!
“Boss, what should we do now…”
His fists clenched tightly, and he was filled with rage.
But soon after, Lion’s emotions calmed a bit.
He wouldn’t be like that fool Sirena, resorting to reckless actions! If he thought carefully, there would always be a way to hit back hard!
No need to rush. There was plenty of time ahead.
…
Meanwhile, Ulric was in the hospital, having to hand over much of his work to Cedric.
This, however, gave him some rare free time to teach Rosalind hands-on.
“Sometimes, even when I feel like I’ve covered everything in detail, there are still loopholes everywhere. Is there a way to make the other party afraid to deceive me?” Rosalind asked, examining the contracts on his computer, trying to find patterns.
“Do you want to know?”
“Of course!”
Ulric smiled, “Then what do I get in return?”
