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
Chapter 565 Finding Out a Secret
The man's words surprised me. This wasn't just arrogance—he was threatening Noah. Noah had left the chaotic scene to the cops and was on the phone with Arthur, reporting the events.Nelson was still unconscious when he was lifted into the ambulance. He had no intention of waking up here, and no one could rouse him.Before leaving, Jeremiah gave me a meaningful look. Schemer!It was getting late, and Noah had to apologize. We had no choice but to stay in Bourdamun for the night and sign the contract the next day.Since we were already here, I had to follow Noah's arrangements. We checked into the Bourdamun Hotel, the city's pride and joy.According to the initial plan, I would’ve been able to return to Foswood today. But fate had other plans.After taking care of our accommodation, Noah returned to his office. I could not help but sigh as I watched him hurry away. Doing a good job was unexpectedly tricky, even for someone in his position. It took grit and a strong sense of com
Chapter 566 Who Would Dare?
Aidan, the assistant, told me that Martin had two sons and a daughter. The latter had sent his younger son, Corey, abroad for education while Kimberly, his daughter, was also overseas.However, she was reckless and unruly. Among Martin’s three children, his second son was a medical doctor, whom Nelson was proud of.Aidan was hesitant when discussing things concerning Nelson. However, the former let down his guard and began gossiping with me when he noticed my curious and friendly attitude.“Although Mr. Nelson has contributed to Bourdamun, his son caused quite a stir. Martin’s actions angered everyone, but they dared not speak up. Despite Bourdamun not being as prosperous, the Terrells were not short on money.”Aidan seemed resentful as he continued, “We thought we could have a fresh start with Mr. Nelson’s retirement. However, he has constantly meddled and suppressed Noah since passing the torch.”I asked, “Didn’t anyone complain about Nelson?”“No one dared to. Mr. Nelson would
