Crises in Love novel Chapter 388

Bennett's gaze held the weight of ironclad certainty as he spoke without a hint of doubt, "You'd better double-check the records to see if the facts we've uncovered are accurate. Have we wrongly accused you? If so, speak now or forever hold your peace! If not, then I suggest you leave immediately. Just so you know, the police have every one of you on file, and it won't be long before they come knocking. Today, you were spared from being taken in by the police thanks to Mr. Wilburn's mercy. You’d best count your blessings."

With that, he fixed his stare on the few profit-seekers, his gaze sweeping over them as they turned various shades of pale.

The rest of the shareholders watched, those with clear consciences stood unfazed, while the guilty exchanged helpless, frantic looks.

Finally, an older man, covering his face, stood up. Under everyone's attention, he made a swift exit from the conference room, followed by the others, scrambling out in utter disarray.

Suddenly, the room erupted in spontaneous, thunderous applause. Seizing the moment, Bennett proudly introduced the major shareholder to those who remained – and just like that, I became the legitimate owner of VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals.

After the meeting ended, my father and I had a long talk in his office, talking about reflections, gratitude, and our blueprints. I have to say, it was the first time I truly understood my father.

As I stepped out of VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals, for some reason, the person I most wanted to see was Addrion - my senior who had striven alongside me in Goldenvale Town.

Getting into the car, I said to Hannah, "Let's head to the hospital. I want to see how Addrion is doing."

When we arrived at Addrion's hospital room, he was taken aback by my visit at such an hour but quickly greeted me with a smile, "What brings you here at this time?"

As I walked in, I quipped back, "What, is there a schedule for visiting you now?"

"Of course not, my lady! You're welcome anytime," he hurriedly offered me a seat, studying my face. "You seem down, what's up?"

"On the contrary, today was delightful in every way!" I flopped down onto the sofa, feigning nonchalance, "So I thought I'd come see you."

"Spill it! Drop the act!" He didn't buy my bluff for a second, sitting across from me, lazily coaxing me to open up.

Truth be told, he understood me because we were so familiar with each other.
