Sean saw that Arnold seemed very confident, so he nodded immediately.
"We''ll act separately. I''m going to the city to exert as much pressure as possible on Byron Chandler. You all need to make good use of this opportunity." As told Sean, "First, find a reason to control that assistant doctor. He''s probably ackey who knows a lot of things. Most importantly, he must know what Beatrice has been through all these years. He''s important to this investigation."
"We''ve thought of that. We''re looking for a reason to detain him," Sean said.
Arnold was disdainful. "What reasons do you need? Just detain him without any discussion or negotiation. What are you afraid of?"
"He''s right. You''ve been granted this privilege from above. What are you afraid of?" As scanned Sean coldly.
"Alright. I understand." Sean immediately agreed.
"What about me?" I asked.
As smiled, gazing at me, and said, "You cane with me. Or you can walk around and get familiar with Gerby."Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.
"I''ll go with you," I said. I wasn''t here to be a tourist. I was entirely focused on Beatrice''s safety. Why would I need to wander around? What was there to see?
"And we''re about to take over Grand Tribeca. You might want to go there and take a look," As said.
His words surprised me. "Grand Tribeca? Isn''t that the shopping mall the Chandler family and their inws, the Russell family, want to take over?"
"That''s right. This is our first step to investment in Gerby," As dered.
"I want to give Byron Chandler somepetition. I want him to feel powerless and helpless! After we take it over, it''ll be ours."
"I guess I''ll go have a look then, since it''ll be ours in the future," I murmured to myself.
He grinned happily, satisfied at hearing me say that.
After some discussion of what we needed to do next, everyone left to do what they had to. As and I returned to our room. I asked, "As, do you really want to invest in Gerby?"
He looked at me, nodded, and said, "I do. As long as it''s valuable, we can invest. I already did a
Consumption will increase with the economic rise. It''s time to establish an Arkadia here! This is where our 23rd Arkadia will be built!"
"Aren''t youpeting with the Chandler family just to save Beatrice?" I asked.
"Of course not We want to save her, of course, but that''s not the only reason I''m investing money into this Don''t forget, your husband is a businessman too. We might be able to enjoy some benefits while striking at the Chandlers. Why shouldn''t we
do it?"
As I stared at As, I had the strong impression that he was a true leader. He seemed to always be able to think clearly, and never let anything disturb him.
He saw me gazing at him
skeptically. He looked at me with a charming smile that could enchant anyone, as if he could read all my
innermost thoughts. He embrace et
me and said, "What''s wrong? Are you disappointed with my answer? I can only think clearly about something if it isn''t rted to you. I''ll give in on everything if it affects you. There''s no room for discussion orpromise there!"
"I didn''t mean that. I''m afraid you might act impulsively." I looked at him, "We shouldn''t make any unnecessary sacrifices."
"Why are you so concerned about our family''s money?" he teased, looking at me. "My investments need to pay for themselves hundreds or thousands of times over! Otherwise, how could I be your husband?"
I smiled in delight, resting my head on his chest, and said, "I wonder why my life is so good, honey. Did I get lucky?"
"You''re wrong. This isn''t about your good fortune, it''s the result of our hard work." He patted my back. "I''ve let you endure too much hardship. I won''t let you feel the slightest difort anymore. I promise!" We embraced each other for quite some time, then his phone rang, prompting us to separate.
After answering the call, he said, "You can go out for a walk or get some rest. I''ve asked Lauren to keep youpany."
"Really?" I was overjoyed to hear his words.
