Chapter 590
\nA Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 590<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, it has nothing to do with her.\u201d David finally uttered to respond. But he still had no courage to look at Louis, \u201cLouis, I have been in a grudge against you. But I tried hard to put up with it during the past few years.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI could never be resigned to the fact that I could only serve you as your assistant regardless of my excellency! And you even condescended to lecture me! My jealousy burnt when I saw the Smith Group booming. Then I sold the confidential information to the rivals.\u201d<\/p>\n
Louis replied casually, \u201cDo you know how much you have to pay for it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would be just a few years of imprisonment.\u201d David smiled and shrugged. He then added, \u201cBut I have earned enough. The money I got from selling the information has gone far beyond the sum of my annual pay during these years. What I got is worth my time in the prison.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDavid, here is your last chance.\u201d Said Louis.<\/p>\n
\u201cConfess to me if you want no bad consequence.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI have nothing to confess. I did commit it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The stalemate between them lasted for a few minutes.<\/p>\n
As Louis noticed that David still insisted to commit the crime, Louis didn\u2019t intend to argue anymore. He turned around and left, \u201cYou have to pay for your own choice.\u201d<\/p>\n
Seeing Louis walking away from the detention room, David let out a bitter smile.<\/p>\n
\u2018Sorry, Mr. Smith, I have failed you.\u2019<\/p>\n
As Sofia was now pregnant, he decided to bear the price on himself.<\/p>\n
The stock price of Smith Group had still been declining after David announced his crime in front of the press.<\/p>\n
What was worse, another bombshell hit the group again a few days later.<\/p>\n
The president of a subsidiary of Smith Group, with his induction of less than four years only, was involved in marital infidelity and domestic violence against his wife. Besides, it was said that he even had a three-year-old daughter with his mistress. In order to gag his wife, he abused her and threatened her with her own life.<\/p>\n
The stock price of Smith Group flopped a great deal because of the two widely-spread scandals. It even hit the price of limit down.<\/p>\n
Even though Smith Group had issued a declaration and also a punishment against both David and the president involved. The situation still worsened.<\/p>\n
What was worse, some speculators started to purchase the stock shares of Smith Group in bulk, which cost hundreds of million.<\/p>\n
Catherine also noticed something fishy. She hurried to tell Louis about it.<\/p>\n
Catherine asked for permission, \u201cMr. Smith, shall we inform the Security Commission of it and require a limit of their purchase?\u201d<\/p>\n
Louis still looked composed while browsing the information of the purchase, including the date, the number of shares and also the sum.<\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t seem to be an impact on him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t need to.\u201d Louis closed the laptop and continued casually, \u201cJust leave it. Has all shareholders arrived?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMost of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Louis put on his suit blazer and walked out of the office with Catherine.<\/p>\n
The profit shown on the earnings report during the recent two years had been promising. All shareholders were quite satisfied with it. However, the bombshell happening a few days ago also stirred up agitation among them.<\/p>\n
After all, they earned only when Smith group did the same.<\/p>\n
As soon as Louis entered the conference room, he was flooded with the complaint about the scandals from shareholders though in a euphemistic way. But some of them even accused him of dereliction of duty for hiring David as his PA.<\/p>\n
But Louis stayed composed still. When it was time, he started the conference.<\/p>\n
When the conference was about to come to an end, the door was pushed open.<\/p>\n
Sofia, who was told by Catherine to enter, walked over beside Louis and asked formally, \u201cMr. Smith, what can I do for you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTake a seat.\u201d Louis pointed at a chair beside.<\/p>\n
All shareholders were confused by the sudden arrival of this senior manager.<\/p>\n
Louis then opened an envelope and took out a piece of file. Then he handed it to Catherine to show everyone in the room.<\/p>\n
She even started to sob while speaking.<\/p>\n
About half a month ago, John, who still stayed fine, suddenly began to cough so fiercely that it almost seemed to kill him. It was likely that he had a relapse of his symptom when he went to Country F for treatment.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am good with you staying together.\u201d John kept himself away from her in case she would get stained by the smell of blood.<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t leave until I see you give birth to the babies.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lily seemed to be moved. She covered her mouth and remained silent.<\/p>\n
She had been feeling annoyed during the past two months though she was in a cozy condition. But that was not what she wanted. She had the urge to throw a tantrum in front of John for several times. But she still strangled it when thinking of what he had done.<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t bear to leave him alone, who looked dying. Nor could she bear to witness his death.<\/p>\n
Lily soon went to bed as she had no appetite for food today.<\/p>\n
After hours of sleep, someone patted on her face gently to wake her up, \u201cLily, let\u2019s go.\u201d<\/p>\n
John supported her up. She asked confusedly, \u201cWhere are we going?\u201d<\/p>\n
John replied as he supported her downstairs, \u201cI am worried because you are close to the expected date of confinement. And it\u2019s too remote to have some medical equipment transported here. I need to get you to another dwelling where it\u2019s more accessible for doctors.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lily didn\u2019t show any objection. She walked out of the house with John taking her weight.<\/p>\n
There parked a helicopter on the beach in distance. John helped her up into the helicopter, \u201cI have something else to get in the house.\u201d<\/p>\n
As John walked away, Lily started to wonder where John would take her to while stroking her belly. She was worried if Louis would find out where she was once she moved to a more bustling area in which they could have access to doctors more easily.<\/p>\n
She suddenly noticed that there was a phone on the co-pilot seat.<\/p>\n
She seemed to have a plan. Then she said to the pilot, \u201cJohn might need a hand. Could you please get to the house to help him bring those stuffs here?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2527","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
