Chapter 557 We’ve Done Our Best
I continued to watch Anson and Bella not far away.Bella gently placed her hand on Anson’s. I couldn't hear what she said, but after a moment, Anson let out a helpless wail. It was a cry filled with all the frustration of a man."Am I supposed to watch her die just like this? I've worked hard through my entire life, and now, my one treasure..." His expression was crestfallen, resembling that of a child. He spoke while incessantly tapping the ground with his cane.My heart ached. No matter how strong a person was, facing the separation of a loved one in life was unbearable, especially when it was one's dearest family.Bella's actions were tender, like soothing an unruly child. Though I was too far away to hear, her demeanor was gentle and serene, like a gentle breeze passing by.I saw Anson’s emotions gradually transition from anger to calmness, ending with a long sigh.Soon after, Bella helped him stand up, and they walked away together. Bella calmly said to Jared, "Arrange for s
Chapter 558 The Final Attempt
I saw Jared already by Trinity's side, touching her head gently.Panicking, I quickly put on the suit and rushed in."Trinity, don't give up. You must hold on... listen, just endure a bit more. I'm telling you, if you leave like this, I won't care about the Huffman family. I've said it; I have no responsibility or obligation to take care of your family for you!"As I entered, I heard Jared roaring, but there was a hint of pleading in his voice."Trinity..." I also rushed over, grabbing her other hand. "I really want to be friends with you. Can you be my friend? You can consider me your only friend. I like it that way. Give me a chance. I'll make you experience what friendship is."At this point, Trinity was already emaciated and barely breathing. Her face displayed a bluish-black hue, which was quite terrifying. Clearly, the toxins had invaded every cell in her body."Trinity, I know you can hear me. If you want to stay by my side, get the hell up!" Jared shouted, pressing his ha
Chapter 559 Forgetting an Important Business
His instinctive movement caught my attention. I looked at him in astonishment, "Atlas... you…""I'm fine..."But as soon as he uttered those words, something was clearly wrong. His tall and straight figure leaned toward me, and I seemed to catch a whiff of a bloody smell.Panicking, I shouted loudly, "Doctor!"By the time the doctor arrived, he had already passed out.The doctor cautiously conducted an examination and found an injury on his arm. It seemed to be a gunshot wound which had been hastily treated, and the blood on the bandage had partially coagulated.The doctor cut off the bandage, treated the wound again, and administered an anti-inflammatory IV. Despite all this, he remained unconscious, completely unaware of everything that was happening around him.After completing the examination, the doctor reassured me, "Don't worry. Mr. Atlas isn't in a coma; he's just in a deep sleep. Fortunately, the wound isn't infected, and the bullet seems to have grazed him. The wound i
Chapter 560 An Episode in Bourdamun
The car hit the road, and our group formed a small convoy, speeding toward Bourdamun. Along the way, we managed to save a considerable amount of time, and we arrived at the Bourdamun’s office just on time.Noah had already arranged for relevant personnel to wait for us and ushered us into the main conference room.We were well-prepared for the detailed discussions on the project. People from various aspects of the project were brought together, showing that Ryan's arrangements were meticulous and significantly improved the efficiency of our negotiations.Everything was proceeding smoothly, and after signing the contract, we could head back. However, everything only went smoothly on the surface.In reality, my main concern was still Trinity. Even though I knew she had recovered from the danger, I left too hastily and hadn't had a chance to see her after the crisis.Moreover, I was very worried about Atlas's injury, especially wanting to know why he had been shot. This was a big dea
Chapter 561 He Won't Budge
Ryan sprang to his feet, shielding me as tea splashed onto his back. He let out a muffled groan.There were gasps in the conference room. I quickly checked on Ryan, relieved that the water wasn't too hot.I pushed Ryan away, slamming the table and startling everyone. Even Nelson trembled, his eyes flickering as he looked at me."This is outrageous! I did not expect such uncivilized behavior from Bourdamun managers. It’s no surprise that Bourdamun has been stuck in the past. It is stifling Orlinda's entire economy. It’s all because of people with narrow minds like you!"My words left everyone in the room stunned, especially Nelson's people, who turned pale.Nelson had acted like a tyrant and became the unquestioned ruler."How dare you speak to me like that, you little brat? You've gone too far!” He yelled it while pointing at me.“Security! Restrain her. She's out of control,” he barked. “Unbelievable! Tell me, where did she come from? She couldn’t have had a good upbringing if
Chapter 562 It's Over
Noah felt more confident after seeing how I dealt with Nelson's stubbornness. It was as if I had set an example for him.He gazed sternly at Nelson and declared, "Mr. Nelson, you’re disrupting my work. I was sent here to work, not to be commanded by one person. Since you have retired, you no longer have decision-making authority."Noah finally found his rhythm. He stopped smiling and looked calm and serious."If you have reasonable suggestions, I welcome them. But it's unacceptable for you to interfere with the work this way."I realized that everyone could shine once they found their stride. Noah's eloquence was impressive."As a senior, you should know how to help those below you. Mr. Nelson, the way you’re acting is against the law and hurting the economy.Under my influence, Noah rebuked Nelson's actions."I need to contact the higher-ups since I bear this responsibility. If you want to get in the way, I will ask my bosses what they think. Should decisions about everyday wor
Chapter 563 A Sword From Above
Arthur's tone was sharp as he continued, "Bourdamun has been dragging the progress in Orlinda. Do we really need to make another wrong decision in this matter?"Emphasizing Bourdamun's backwardness was like slapping Nelson in the face, especially since Bourdamun had always been under his management."Noah, you were chosen from a pool of talents and sent to Bourdamun. I hope you don’t fall short of everyone's expectations. Build Bourdamun up and turn its fortune around.”Arthur’s encouragement gave Noah enormous support."Nelson is retired and has no right to interfere in any operational decisions. How dare he barge into an important work meeting to obstruct the project? "To determine whether this is being manipulated behind the scenes, I authorize Noah to report to the public security agency, conduct an investigation, and gather evidence. I don't care who it is. They’ll be dealt with according to the law."I was left speechless. Arthur immediately foresaw the chain reaction and
Chapter 564 A Complex Relationship
Quite a few people were gathered in front of the office building. Many surrounded Nelson, patting his back and chest while shouting. I had no idea what was going on.As our group rushed out of the office building, one of the demonstrators immediately stood up and pointed toward us. He seemed to be the leader."You guys are unbelievable! How dare you push an old man like this to the edge? He's a living monument of Bourdamun, and you treat him like this?" The man looked fierce and spoke as if trying to assert dominance.I looked at Nelson, who lay motionless, allowing people to pound on him without responding. Something seemed suspicious. If there was a real problem, would they stay so calm?"Noah, you've only been here briefly and want to establish dominance in Bourdamun. Dream on!" The man's words seemed excessive and didn't sit well with me.I took a look at the arrogant man who was shouting. He was tall and resembled Nelson. If I guessed correctly, he might be Nelson's son.T
