"What if the police come looking for me again? If I continue being so evasive, it won’t work. Now that this has blown up online, everyone is focused on it, and the impact is really bad."
Elias Hawthorne curled his thin lips into a faint smile: "That’s why we need to quickly make people think that Raina North failed in developing the antidote, that Baby’s life is hanging by a thread, and I have fallen ill because of Raina’s testing. That way, all those lurking threats will emerge."
The exact way Baby got poisoned hasn’t been uncovered yet. Although there are suspects, there’s no evidence.
Aidan Lynch was shocked: "Hawthorne Group, while it’s thrilling, isn’t this too risky? If this leaks and you end up in trouble, the stock of Hawthorne Group might hit the limit down, and the market value could evaporate by billions in the blink of an eye. Those shareholders might cause a huge fuss."
"Let them cause a fuss then. Don’t tell me you can’t handle this little issue."
Aidan was speechless under Elias Hawthorne’s questioning gaze. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs NoveIꜰire.net
Come on, is this a small matter?
This is a big deal, okay?
If it were a smaller company, just one incident would bring them down.
Forget it, better not complain. After all, a man blinded by beauty can’t possibly have brains.
Elias Hawthorne asked again, "What about Master Foster? Have you reached him?"
"Well, he has been contacted. Master Foster said the patient’s condition has stabilized. He’ll find a way to return within seven days at most."
Elias Hawthorne frowned: "Seven days is too long."
Even though some online chatter doesn’t affect real life, Elias doesn’t want Raina North to continually be under fire from those keyboard warriors.
Aidan couldn’t help rolling his eyes. The Master Foster is needed by someone important. The fact that they’re letting him come back at all is gracious already, let alone specifying a timeframe.
But... what can be done?
Men who pamper their wives are unbeatable.
"President Hawthorne, if you have no further orders, I’ll take my leave then."
Elias Hawthorne waved his hand.
Aidan picked up the processed files and turned to leave.
At five in the afternoon, a black Mercedes stopped on the street outside the residential area.
Not long after, Anya Forrest stepped out of the residential area wearing a goose yellow dress. She opened the car door, got in, and looked at the man in the driver’s seat, Raymond Thorne, and apologized: "Sorry for keeping you waiting."
"Waiting for a beauty is my honor." Raymond Thorne’s eyes quietly flashed a glow of amazement as he looked at Anya: "Anya, you look gorgeous today."
"Really? I think I look pretty today too."
Raymond was slightly surprised at Anya’s prideful demeanor, then he smiled. She is indeed a charming girl.
Anya observed Raymond’s expression closely, her slightly lowered lashes shading the darkness in her eyes, but her smile remained bright.
Raymond took Anya to Imperial Restaurant.
Imperial Restaurant is renowned in Southgate for its private cuisine, with chefs having superb skills and the environment being very elegant and comfortable.
Raymond handed the menu to Anya: "The dishes here are all quite good, you should try them."
Anya ordered two dishes before returning the menu to Raymond.
Raymond was a bit surprised: "Only two dishes?"
"There’s also you. You can order two dishes, the two of us having four dishes with both meat and vegetables along with soup is already great."
Raymond was slightly astonished.
