After Ava Morgan left, Butler Li pushed the door open and walked in. He observed that Henry Sullivan looked good at the moment, and thought that he had a pleasant chat with Ava Morgan just now.
"Mr. Sheng, Ms. Grace Lawson and her child are still waiting outside the ward, please..."
Even though the results of the child's paternity test were out, confirming that he was Henry Sullivan's biological son, but without Henry Sullivan's permission, Butler Li still did not dare to easily call the boy "Young Master Sheng".
Henry Sullivan, who was lying on the hospital bed, was thinking about his daughter's last words before she left. Hearing that, he frowned and asked, "Didn't I ask you to send them back?"
Butler Li shook his head. "Ms. Zhang said that she would not be able to return home without worrying about you unless she saw with her own eyes that you were safe and sound."
The slightly furrowed brows only showed Henry Sullivan's impatience when he heard this. The appearance of that boy was something Henry Sullivan had never expected. He was not happy about it, but only felt troubled and annoyed.
Although he is only in his forties now, he did not know how to take care of his body when he was young, especially in the first few years after his wife passed away. Henry Sullivan stayed in the company almost day and night and worked overtime, trying to numb himself in this way.
A few years later, when he met a woman who looked extremely similar to his deceased wife for the first time, Henry Sullivan found a new way to vent.
So one after another, as long as the women looked somewhat similar to his wife, Henry Sullivan would bring them home for a period of time.
More than a decade later, due to his unrestrained lifestyle and being busy all day at the group, Henry Sullivan finally began to suffer from various health problems.
Under such circumstances, the first thing he thought of was to call his daughter back from abroad to take over the family business, but he knew that the possibility of getting Ava Morgan to return to China with such a reason was very slim.
He knew that his daughter was not idle at all while abroad.
In addition to her studies, she also studied the stock market and financial investment on her own. Relying solely on the several million pocket money that Henry Sullivan gave her at the beginning, over the past few years, the amount of profit she made has already increased hundreds of times, and is even still rising.
Besides being surprised, Henry Sullivan felt more relieved that she was worthy of being his daughter.
But without this reason, what other methods could he use to get Ava Morgan to return to China?
At this moment, a lover who had long been forgotten by Henry Sullivan appeared in front of him. In addition, she also brought a child, a child who he said was Henry Sullivan's biological child.
The appearance of these two people is a trouble for Henry Sullivan, but if you think about it from another perspective, isn’t this a good reason for Ava Morgan to return to China?
Although his daughter doesn't care about his company, she cares about her mother.
At the beginning, Ava Morgan chose to go abroad because he couldn't stand the fact that he always brought all kinds of women home.
Now, a woman who has a great chance of successfully moving into the Sheng family has finally appeared. Henry Sullivan doesn't believe that his daughter will not be anxious.
As for the child, Henry Sullivan didn't care about it at all. Even if Ava Morgan didn't want to take over Mingsheng, it would not be the child's turn to take over the group.
Thinking back, Henry Sullivan waved his hand and said impatiently, "Find someone to send them back. The house and bank card I arranged for them are enough for them and their children to live without worries."
Now that the daughter is back, there is no need for this mother and son to appear together again.
After a pause, Henry Sullivan changed the subject and said, "Go and check the cause of the car accident. Check it carefully."
Butler Li was slightly startled, then he said alertly, "Director Sheng, do you suspect that this car accident was man-made?"
Henry Sullivan pressed his forehead tiredly, "It's not impossible, go check it out."
Sitting in this position now, Henry Sullivan knows how many people are watching him, but he never thought that someone would dare to do something to threaten his life...
But since Ava Morgan reminded him, it seemed that someone must have really done something.
...
At the signal of Butler Li, Grace Lawson and her son Leo Lawson were escorted out of the hospital by several bodyguards, who called them escorts but actually forced them.
Seeing that she would definitely not see Henry Sullivan today, Grace Lawson cursed angrily in her heart, then shed a few tears in front of Butler Li, and after saying a few words of concern for Henry Sullivan, she turned around and left with her son.
On the way back, Grace Lawson bit her lower lip nervously, holding the phone with her fingertips extra tightly, waiting for the man to call her.
She had followed that man's instructions, bribed Henry Sullivan's personal driver with money, and successfully caused Henry Sullivan to have a car accident on his way home from get off work.
The plan went smoothly. She only hoped that the man would keep his word and really help her son get Mingsheng Group in the future.
...
Knock knock knock.
"Jade Thompson, it's time to get off work~"
The woman with long wavy crimson hair pushed open the office door, then leaned against the door frame in an exceptionally S3xy pose. She looked at the woman who was still sitting at the desk working, and kept shaking her head in amazement.
"It's hard to imagine, if you had a partner, would you still be so obsessed with work as you are now?"
Rubbing his stiff neck, Jade Thompson raised his eyes and glanced at her, chuckling, "Work is work, it has nothing to do with whether you have a partner or not."
As she spoke, she casually took off the hairpin that was tied behind her head, and her silky hair naturally cascaded down from her cheeks, hanging lazily and delicately behind her.
Zhao Yuanqi waited for her by the door, looking down at his phone. He checked something and stretched himself wearily. "I have been working overtime these days and my back and waist are sore. Mr. Si, please remember to give me a raise."
Jade Thompson smiled, stood up and took the handbag beside him, "As a partner who has invested in the company, why should your salary be increased?"
Everyone else in the studio had already left work, leaving only Jade Thompson and Zhao Yuanqi, the two big bosses, working overtime until late at night.
The two chatted and laughed all the way to the underground parking lot. Before parting, Zhao Yuanqi turned to Jade Thompson's car and continued to ask, "Are you really not going to have a drink with me?"
Simu lowered his head and buckled his seat belt while shaking his head in response, "Go ahead and have fun."
Sighing helplessly, Zhao Yuanqi crossed her arms and looked at her good friend from top to bottom. Then, she suddenly leaned against the car window and asked in a mysterious voice, "Tell me the truth, Mr. Si, don't you have times when you have desires that are difficult to resolve?"
While asking, she also blinked at Jade Thompson in a gossipy manner.
It's no wonder that Zhao Yuanqi asked this. She and Jade Thompson were college classmates and have known each other for more than ten years. She has never seen Jade Thompson have anyone around him.
Although the earlobe behind the long hair was stained with a thin layer of red, Jade Thompson still maintained a calm expression, "No."
"Is it true?" Zhao Yuanqi was skeptical about her answer. This was a normal physiological phenomenon and it was not surprising for adults to experience it.
She touched her chin in amazement, her eyes constantly looking at Jade Thompson.
This beautiful and delicate face coupled with this slender and graceful figure, although her temperament is a little cold, this is exactly one of the reasons why Jade Thompson has become the favorite in their lesbian circle.
"Are you just aloof?"
Zhao Yuanqi frowned and looked at Jade Thompson with great concern. She began to worry about her. If Jade Thompson really had a cold personality, then this would be such sad and regrettable news.
His face suddenly darkened, and Simu pushed her away from his car door, saying sullenly, "I, am, not."
After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Yuanqi to react, Jade Thompson stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.
Zhao Yuanqi was left standing there with a mouthful of exhaust fumes. She choked and coughed for a long time, then got into her car and left, cursing.
But even though he cursed Jade Thompson in his heart all the way, Zhao Yuanqi still breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he was not S3xually frigid. If it was true, wouldn't Jade Thompson have to put all his energy into work?
Then I will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being exploited together!
...
The car slowly slowed down. Jade Thompson drove with one hand. Thinking back to the conversation just now, her face slowly turned red. Then her other hand involuntarily stroked her heart.
Where the finger passed, there was a very faint mark on the fair skin of the chest under the white shirt, like a long and narrow leaf.
Jade Thompson remembered that this mark appeared after she had that kind of dream for the first time.
