“Since I'm here, Jonathan, I'll take care of my sister from now on. You can leave now.” Shawn didn't expect his sister to like Jonathan that much.
Did Jonathan fish out information from Coralie? Is that why my company failed? When his train of thought ended there, he scowled with a frigid look in his eyes. “Did you leak the overseas plan our organization devised to Jonathan, Coralie?”
Coralie was astonished by her brother's sudden interrogation. Glaring at him, she questioned, “What do you mean by that? Have you still not figured out why the company failed? How can you blame me for that?”
“Who knows? You're awfully close to a core member of our competing company, after all. I may not suspect you, but someone else likely will.” With a scornful smile, Shawn glanced at Jonathan.
Jonathan understood what that meant. He shook his head and smirked coldly. “It seems like you really aren't fit to be Lucian's opponent. Your plan is too petty. I have just learned that Coraline is your little sister. Do you think I could've gotten any intel from her?”
Suddenly, it was as though the temperature in the room had dropped by dozens of degrees.
I can almost smell the gunpowder in the air! I need to stop them now. Speedily, Coralie interrupted, “Are you here to visit me or question me, Shawn? Now that you've seen that I'm doing fine, you can leave now!”
Shawn had no retort upon hearing the exasperation in his sister's voice.
However, he was determined to stand his ground before Jonathan. “Why should I leave? It's only normal that I'll need to take care of you until you've recovered. You should say that to someone else.”
“Fine! I'll take my leave now, Ms. Crawford. There's no need to concern about the medical bill. I paid for them already. Also, the truck that smashed into us will compensate you too.” Jonathan was about to leave upon ending his sentence.
