Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 1801 Is He Really My Brother
In Chanaea, Susanne stared at her ringing phone and the foreign number on its screen. After some contemplation, she eventually answered the call. “Hello. Who is this?”
Vinson felt pained by how melancholic Susanne sounded over the phone. “Mom, it’s me!” Susanne instantly jumped to her feet when she recognized her son’s voice.
“Vinson? Is that you?” Agitatedly, she rambled, “Am I dreaming? Are you really calling me right now?”
She could hardly believe that her son, who had been missing for such a long time, would call her out of the blue. Vinson replied, “It’s me, Mom. You’re not dreaming!” After hearing his confirmation, Susanne hurriedly asked about Arielle, “What about Sannie? How is she? Is she okay?”
Arielle and Vinson had been on the same cruise ship, and Susanne’s concern only grew with the shocking number of casualties from the shipwreck.
“Mom, she’s okay too. We’ll be back in two days.” As he reassured his mother, Vinson suddenly recalled an earlier conversation with Arielle and asked, “Mom, do I have a brother?”
Susanne was shell-shocked. How did he find out?
She sputtered, “W-Why are you asking about this?”
Her tone was proof enough that Arielle’s suspicions were correct. Vinson immediately knew the man they were discussing was likely his brother.
Vinson shared his and Arielle’s hypothesis with his mother. “He probably orchestrated the accidents that had befallen Arielle and me.”
Though he could not see it, Susanne shook her head and muttered, “What? That’s impossible. Why would he harm you?”
She simply could not believe that child would harm Vinson. After all, the child’s biological mother was a proud woman, and it seemed unimaginable that she would raise a cold-blooded mastermind.
“Vinson, could you be mistaken? Your older brother would never harm you.” Susanne stubbornly refused to accept that possibility.
Meanwhile, Vinson’s gaze darkened in response.
“Mom, is he really my older brother?”
Susanne realized it was impossible to hide the man’s true parentage now that he had appeared.
Alas, she could only confess the truth.
“He’s your older brother from a different mother.” She continued hastily, “But I don’t think he would ever harm you. His mother is a proud woman, and she would never raise a son like that. Vinson, are you sure you haven’t misunderstood the situation?”
Vinson fired back, “Are you sure you haven’t misunderstood the situation?” Susanne froze in surprise.
He must have evidence if he’s so sure about this. Perhaps I’m the one struggling to accept the truth.
Suddenly, Vinson piped up, “Mom, I borrowed this phone from someone else. I’ll call you again once I get a new phone.”
Susanne mumbled an acknowledgment and hung up.
Then, she took out the Nightshires’ family photo from a drawer and gazed at Vinson’s father.
As she stared at the photograph, she mumbled, “I offered to raise the child as ours back then, but she refused. I never imagined she would raise her son into a monster who would harm Vinson. What should I do?”
In truth, Susanne had been the innocent party in the relationship. She and Vinson’s father were in an arranged marriage, and she had no idea that he already had a girlfriend, let alone a child. They had fallen deeply in love with each other by the time she learned about his old flame. She had even given birth to Vinson just over a month before the revelation.
Susanne had told him to make a choice, promising to respect his decision even if he left her.
At last, he chose to be with her and compensated his old flame handsomely. Susanne had suggested raising the woman’s child as their own, thinking it would improve his ex’s marriage options in the future, but she had disagreed. Now, I can’t allow her son to harm my son.
Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 1802 Brother From Another Mother
Susanne was racked with worry and at a loss for what to do. Meanwhile, Vinson returned the phone to Carlos after hanging up and went back into the room.
Arielle lay on the bed with her eyes closed, resting. However, since she was also curious to know whether that person was Vinson’s biological brother, she opened her eyes as soon as Vinson opened the door and walked in.
“Did you manage to ask your mother? What did she say?” she asked, fixing her gaze on him.
Vinson nodded as he walked over to the bed and shrugged off his coat. Then, he climbed under the covers and hugged Arielle. In a low voice, he said, “She admitted that I have an older half-brother.”
Just as I thought, my hunch was correct. That person is Vinson’s older half-brother.
Nestled in his arms, she muttered, “For him to try and harm you repeatedly shows how deep his resentment is toward you. Now, he has even been in contact with Micah. He must also be smuggling drugs.”
Vinson narrowed his eyes, his expression impassive. It doesn’t matter who that guy is. Just based on the fact he has tried to kill me several times, there’s no way I can have anything to do with him.
He lowered his head and kissed the top of Arielle’s head, then murmured in a low voice, “Don’t think about this matter anymore. Close your eyes and rest.”
She was indeed a little tired and drifted into a deep sleep in Vinson’s arms.
By the time she awoke again, they were already back in Chanaea.
Arielle could not help feeling slightly overwhelmed with emotions as she gazed around the familiar room. I’m finally back.
She went downstairs after washing up. Upon hearing footsteps, Susanne quickly glanced toward the stairs.
“You’re awake! Are you hungry? The kitchen staff has prepared breakfast for you.”
Arielle did not feel hungry, but as soon as Susanne brought it up, the former instantly felt a pang of hunger.
“Actually, I do feel a little hungry.” As soon as Arielle said that, Susanne quickly instructed a helper to bring over the food.
“Vinson has gone to the office to deal with a few things.”
Arielle nodded and enquired about how the company was doing.
Susanne’s expression immediately turned grim at that question, then proceeded to fill Arielle in on the company’s current situation.
“I’ve no idea what Oswald said, but he succeeded in acquiring all of Dayver’s shares. Although I’d already given Vinson all of the shares in my possession, he still had five percent lesser than Oswald. A few days ago, Oswald held a meeting to have the chairman replaced. Just as I was at my wit’s end, a young foreign man suddenly arrived. To our surprise, he owned twenty percent of the shares. He transferred those shares to Vinson, which was how Vinson retained his position as chairman.”
Unaware that Aaron was the person who had come to Nightshire Group’s rescue, Arielle thought it was just one of Vinson’s friends. Hence, she silently decided to purchase those shares with her own money. I can’t possibly let his friend offer assistance without giving anything in return.
Susanne continued, “It’s just that several companies have withdrawn their investments, thus causing some difficulties in Nightshire Group’s operations. However, now that Vinson is back, there must be a way to turn things around.”
After setting down her fork, Arielle said to Susanne, “Don’t worry about the company’s affairs. If they want to withdraw their investments, so be it. I have enough money to make sure the company continues to run. I’m going to make a trip to the office.”
Arielle had decided to use whatever money she had left to help fund Nightshire Group’s operations. Before she left, Susanne gave Arielle a phone. Susanne had already put in a SIM card and saved her own and Vinson’s phone numbers in the phone.
After leaving the house, Arielle instructed the chauffeur to take her to Nightshire Group. Unexpectedly, someone stopped her as soon as she got out of the car. She furrowed her brows as she gazed at the person.
Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 1803 Tricked
Over on the island, the dazzling rays of sunlight filtered through the screened window into a room. The man lying on the bed massaged his slightly throbbing head, then slowly opened his eyes. Suddenly, his gaze darkened, and his entire body radiated a chilling aura.
D*mn it! I can’t believe I got tricked! In all my years doing what I do, no one has ever managed to put one over on me. It never occurred to me that I’d fall for Micah’s scheme on my first day on the island.
Indeed, Gaspar thought his sexual encounter with Anna was by Micah’s design. He knows I live on the edge, yet he still sent his daughter into my bed. What’s his purpose in doing so?
Before he could make any sense of it, Anna’s eyes fluttered open. When she saw him staring at her with a gaze as dark as thunder, she shot him a seductive smile. Then, she quickly flung her arms around his neck and gazed at him. “See. No matter how stubborn you are, you still became mine.” After saying that, she released one arm around him and hooked a finger under his chin. “Maddox, who satisfies you better between the sheets? Me or your wife?”
One of Gaspar’s hands moved to grab Anna’s, and he stared at her coldly. “Maddox?”
I can’t believe she slept with me because she mistook me for someone else! That thought annoyed him to no end.
“Maddox, don’t think you can forget your place just because you went on that drug deal with Dennis and were my father’s honored guest after your return. You’re the slave I bought. If you don’t please me, you’ll just be a slave anyone can bully on this island for the rest of your life,” Anna said with a snort.
Gaspar looked solemn after he heard those words.
Maddox, Vinson, Arielle… She thinks I’m Vinson. I can’t believe Vinson would be so lucky and survive the cruise ship’s explosion.
“I’m afraid you’ve got the wrong person. My name is Gaspar, not Maddox!” With that, Gaspar let go of Anna’s hand, threw back the covers, and got out of bed to get dressed. Although she had spent the night with him after taking him for someone else, as a man, it did not matter to him much that he got tricked into sleeping with her. His eyes flicked toward the red stain on the bedsheet. After all, I have nothing to lose.
His response left Anna dumbfounded. What does he mean by that? Does he mean to say I slept with the wrong person? No, he has to be lying to me. That’s his plan!
She immediately turned to him and said, “Gaspar, you say? You’re Maddox. Do you think I’m going to fall for your nonsense? Let me tell you this. We’ve already slept together, and you’re mine. You’re not allowed to think about your wife anymore. I’ll tell my father to let us get married.”
Married?
Gaspar frowned. He had no intention of ever getting married. However, it’s not impossible to let Anna become my lover. After all, Micah has no successor here. He might hand over his business to her in the future. Then…
With that thought in mind, he strode to the side of the bed. He reached out and pinched Anna’s chin between his fingers. “Forget about marriage. I’ve no plans to tie the knot in my lifetime. However, if you’re interested in becoming my lover, I wouldn’t mind taking you in.”
After all, she’s the daughter of a wealthy family. She’s nothing like the other women under my control who say nothing no matter what I do. However, what’s most important is Vinson in the whole matter. Judging by what Anna said, he has left the island. Doesn’t that mean he can flee if he gets the opportunity?
Narrowing his eyes as the thought crossed his mind, he made up his mind to have people closely monitor the situation outside. Once they find Vinson, they’ll have to send him to his death.
Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 1804 I Will Only Be Your Wife
Upon hearing Gaspar declare he would never get married and ask her to become his lover, Anna was furious. Never in my life will I only be someone’s lover!
She smacked aside his hand that gripped her chin and spat out, “In your dreams! I’ll only be Maddox Nightshire’s wife, not just some lover!”
His lips curled with a hint of a withering smile when he heard her mention Vinson again. He stretched out a hand and gripped her chin tightly. “Don’t speak that name in front of me anymore. I’m telling you, you’ve got the wrong person. I’m Gaspar Rhaylie!”
Anna was so startled by his behavior that her eyes brimmed with tears. She blinked at him and asked pitifully, “Then why do you look just like Madd—”
She was about to ask why he resembled Maddox, but when she recalled what he had just told her, she forced herself to bite back her words.
“That’s because I’m his older brother.” Although Gaspar was reluctant to admit it, he could not deny that the same blood ran through their veins.
His words prompted her to think of her situation, and she could not help thinking how similar it seemed. Her initial obsession with Vinson dissipated in the blink of an eye. At that moment, she somewhat pitied the man before her.
“Since you don’t want to get married, I won’t force you. However, you can’t be with any other woman except me,” Anna responded with a snort.
Gaspar nodded. As long as she keeps me satisfied in bed, there won’t be any other women.
Anna’s face was wreathed in smiles when she saw him nod in agreement. She moved his hand away, then swiftly planted a kiss on his lips. “Sealed with a kiss. If you deceive me, you’re nothing but a sc*mbag.”
He was initially somewhat annoyed that she had kissed him without his permission. However, after hearing what she said, the corners of his lips could not help turning upward into a smile. Forget it. Getting kissed by her isn’t such a big deal anyway.
“I won’t do that.”
Over at Nightshire Group in Chanaea, Jason exclaimed, “Arielle? Is that really you?”
He was pleasantly surprised to see her. After witnessing how Arielle’s and Vinson’s relationship was just how she had described it, he had given up on pursuing her and wished her happiness from the bottom of his heart.
However, I heard she got kidnapped later. And with that cruise ship explosion, I really thought she and Vinson were… I didn’t think I’d see her here. I’m genuinely so happy!
Arielle could not help recalling the memory of Jason confessing his feelings a year ago. However, a year has passed, so he probably has his eye on some other lady already, right?
As that thought crossed her mind, she nodded. “Yes, it’s me.” Then, she cocked a brow as she gazed at him. “Why are you here?”
This is the headquarters of Nightshire Group. Why would a big celebrity like him come here? Isn’t he afraid of getting mobbed by fans?
“There a few things I had to come over and take care of…” he explained. I just never expected to bump into her as soon as I arrived.
Since Arielle had other business to attend to, she did not have time to catch up with him. Hence, she said to him, “I’m sorry, but I have something to do. You—”
“Oh, sure. Please go ahead. I’m waiting for my manager to arrive before heading up,” Jason responded immediately. Arielle nodded, then strode into the building.
When the two receptionists saw Arielle approaching, they rose to their feet at once.
“May I know who you’re looking for?”
Only the people closest to Arielle and Vinson knew about their relationship.
Hence, she shot the two receptionists a faint smile and explained, “I’m here to see your chairman, Vinson Nightshire.”
They exchanged surprised looks. She’s here to see Mr. Nightshire? He only just returned, so how does she already know about that?
One of them turned to Arielle politely and enquired, “Do you have an appointment?”
Arielle shook her head. I seem to have forgotten to call Vinson to let him know.
Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 1805 Wedding Gift
Arielle was about to take out her phone and call Vinson when Rayson, who had just exited the elevator and was preparing to leave, spotted her. He walked up to her with a surprised expression. “Ms. Moore, why are you here?”
She beamed when she saw Rayson. “I’m here to see Vinson but I forgot to tell him in advance.”
Upon hearing that, Rayson immediately turned to the two receptionists and said, “When you see Ms. Moore in the future, just let her in.”
The two receptionists did not know what was the reason behind that instruction. Nonetheless, they nodded in response.
Rayson had been on his way to take care of some other matters. However, since Arielle had arrived, he decided to take her to Vinson’s office personally.
“This way, Ms. Moore. I’ll take you to him.” Having said that, he began leading the way.
Worried about delaying him from attending to his work, she smiled and replied, “Please don’t mind me if you have work to do. I can go there myself.”
“Oh, it’s nothing important,” he answered. Now that the boss is back, I only need to listen to his instructions. It’s not like before when I had to consider everything thoroughly, then make a decision.
After leading Arielle to Vinson’s office, Rayson turned and left. She reached out and knocked on the door, then heard Vinson’s voice telling her to enter. Arielle turned the doorknob, opened the door, and walked in. However, when she saw Vinson focused intently on his work, she did not say anything after entering.
Vinson raised his head. When he saw Arielle, he got up and walked toward her. “Why have you come, Sannie? Do you still feel unwell?”
He was worried she would fall sick after being in the sea for so long the previous day.
“I’m not that frail,” she answered with a smile. After uttering those words, she suddenly saw a man gazing at her with a grin, and her mouth fell open in shock.
“Aaron? What are you doing here?”
“While it was unsure whether we were dead or alive, Aaron heard that the company was in trouble and specially came here to help.” Before Aaron could respond, Vinson had already piped up while looking at Arielle with a wide smile. Vinson was incredibly grateful for what Aaron did. It never occurred to me that he’d decide to do such a thing.
Hearing that, Arielle finally realized the young foreign man Susanne had mentioned was actually referring to Aaron. She walked up to him and gently ruffled his hair.
“How fortunate I am to have a brother like you.”
It was wrong of me to hesitate to acknowledge him as my brother previously. It does feel pretty good to have a family member. I now have someone to rely on if I encounter any difficulties.
Aaron was pleased by her affectionate gesture. He snorted lightly and said, “Have you only just realized how amazing I am?”
“It’s my fault for not realizing sooner,” Arielle answered with a grin.
Vinson watched the two of them chatting happily, then reached out and drew Arielle into his embrace. “Did you have a reason for coming here?”
She nodded. “Your mother said a young foreign man transferred twenty percent of the shares to you for free. It didn’t seem right to me to take something from another just like that. That’s why I came here to talk to you about giving that person the money for acquiring the shares.” After saying that, she looked at Aaron and continued, “It’s just that the last thing I expected was that the young foreign man your mother told me about would turn out to be Aaron.”
“Aaron, we can’t take your shares without giving anything in return. Here’s a card. Take it. There’s not enough here to pay for that twenty percent of the shares, but I’ll make sure Vinson makes it up to you after his company regains its footing.” As Arielle spoke, she took a bank card from her bag and handed it to Aaron.
However, Aaron shook his head and did not take the card. He looked at her and said, “Just think of the shares as your wedding gift.”
Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 1806 Cannot Do It
He decided to present them with another gift on their wedding day as he deemed the twenty percent shares not enough. “If you insist, I will accept it,” Arielle said. She knew how stubborn Aaron was.
He would be furious if she did not accept the gift. Hence, she decided to just give him a big wedding gift in the future. Aaron was pleased when Arielle finally relented.
“Since Aaron does not wish to accept this card, then throw the money into the company. Blacklist those who retracted their capital and never collaborate with them again,” Arielle said. She could understand them not helping her out in her time of need, but she would not tolerate those who tried to add insult to injury.
Vinson’s company needed the money. Hence, he did not decline and accepted it readily. However, he also made a mental note to transfer his assets to Arielle after resolving the crisis as his betrothal gift to her.
As the two of them were back safely, Aaron did not wish to overstay his welcome. After all, there was so much work to be done in Turlen. With that, Aaron got up and bade goodbye to them both. “Sannie, Vin, since the two of you are back, I don’t think it’s necessary for me to stay here anymore. I’ve decided to head back home. Even though the queen mother is remanded, I have yet to deal with her remaining forces. Besides, there is the matter of human organ trafficking too. I’m going to deal with all of them when I go back to Turlen this time.”
Vinson tried to persuade him to stay and said, “Why don’t you stay for a meal first?”
“Yeah. Eat with us before you leave,” Arielle added. “Don’t you like my cooking? Follow us back home and I’ll make something for you. I don’t know when am I going to see you again once you head back to Turlen,” Arielle said wryly.
As the supreme head of state, Aaron was a busy man. Arielle had a lot on her plate as well. She had not finished filming the previous movie. Initially, she thought of asking Sam to look for another actress in her stead. However, he put the filming on hold indefinitely and insisted on waiting for her to return to the set to resume the filming. Sam even intended to get the Wilhelms back and open up a traditional Chanaean medicine shop.
Hence, she would not have the time to go visit Aaron in Turlen, not at least until after she was done dealing with the matters at hand anyway.
Aaron agreed to join them for dinner after listening to what she said. In the coming year, it was plausible that they would not be able to meet each other. Hence, he had better seize the chance to spend more time with his sister.
Though Aaron was fond of Arielle’s cooking, he did not wish to trouble her. After all, Aaron reckoned she needed more rest after being submerged in seawater for many hours the day before.
“We can just have a meal together at a restaurant. I’m also in a hurry as well. It’s going to take a long time for you to prepare the meal anyway,” Aaron said with a smile.
Arielle agreed with him. Even with the housekeeper’s help, she would still take a longer time to prepare the food. It would be wiser to take Aaron to Maureen’s Kitchen instead.
“All right. We’re going there right after Vin is done with his work. I’m going to call the restaurant to make a reservation,” Arielle said. Then, she proceeded to order Aaron’s favorite dishes.
Aaron nodded and sat on the sofa. He took out his phone and texted his subordinates to ask them to continue looking for Alicia. Aaron was starting to get worried as they had been looking for her for quite some time, and still, there were no signs of her.
Meanwhile, Alicia’s belly was already starting to show. Her grandfather, Clement, was infuriated when he first knew about her pregnancy. He was so furious that he wanted to hit her with a stick. However, he could not bring himself to do it in the end.
Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 1807 Dead
Clement hurled the stick at the floor and slapped himself out of guilt. Alicia felt her heart wrench at the sight and kneeled before her grandfather, begging him to stop hurting himself.
No matter how Clement pressed on, Alicia just would not tell him who the father of the child was. Alicia then told Clement that she would keep the child when he asked about her plans. Clement disagreed with her decision but relented when she kneeled before him and cried.
He would not let her do any household chores and asked her to take a good rest in the meantime. “Grandpa, why are you making stew again?”
Alicia smiled at the sight of the stew that Clement served. Her grandfather had come up with various recipes to make her good food every day. As a result, she had grown plumper. She reckoned that even Aaron would have trouble recognizing her right then.
Her mood took a downturn at the thought of Aaron. Alicia placed her hand gently on her belly as she missed the man dearly.
Aaron, I will give birth to the child and raise him properly. Don’t worry about us and be a good king. Alicia talked to herself as she looked out the window.
“You’re pregnant, child. You have to take some good food, of course,” Clement said. He was upset that his granddaughter had gotten pregnant out of the blue and refused to tell him who the father was. Not only that, Alicia even insisted on keeping the child. Clement was worried about Alicia’s future if she decided to keep the baby. Huh… What will become of her?
If he were still alive then, Clement knew he could somehow help her out. However, he could not help but wonder how Alicia would get by when he was gone. How does a young and unmarried girl with a child survive on her own?
Clement would get dejected whenever he was overwhelmed by those thoughts. How he wished he could live longer so that he could help shoulder her burden.
“Thank you, Grandpa!” Alicia smiled. “You’re the best.”
Clement eyed his granddaughter with a wry smile. You’re my granddaughter, child. After all, Clement was the closest kin that Alicia had in the whole world. As for Alicia’s father, Clement would rather think that he was already dead.
…
On the other end, Vinson was finally done dealing with the matters at hand. The retraction of capital by those companies had plunged his company into a crisis. Even though he directed capital from his other assets, he was still obviously short. With Arielle’s card, Vinson could finally take a breather from his troubles.
Arielle and Aaron were both engrossed in toying with their phones. Vinson got up and said, “Let’s go and eat.”
So soon? I don’t feel like I’ve done much at all? Arielle then looked at the time and realized that it was already half past eleven. She hurriedly said to Aaron, “Let’s go. I’m going to treat you to a good meal.”
Then, she took her bag and headed right out of the office while the two men behind smiled as they watched her rush out of the door.
When they were heading to the restaurant, they gave Susanne a call and told her about Aaron. Initially, Susanne did not wish to impose on Arielle and Vinson’s date. However, when she heard that Arielle’s younger brother would be there too, she immediately agreed to join them. After all, it was her first time meeting Arielle’s relative.
After reaching the restaurant, Susanne realized that Arielle’s younger brother was the foreigner who agreed to transfer ownership of his shares unconditionally to Vinson and grew even more fond of Aaron.
Susanne chatted animatedly with Aaron throughout the whole time and inadvertently left out Arielle and Vinson.
She even tagged along as they sent Aaron to the airport.
The three of them had only left the airport after Aaron’s plane took off. Susanne headed back home to take a rest while Arielle went to Moore Group. As for Vinson, there was a dark look on his face when he got back to the office.
Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 1808 Settle The Score
Vinson’s gaze turned cold when he realized the investors who had pulled out their investments were now in the waiting room.
Upon seeing his icy expression, the receptionist hurriedly explained, “Mr. Nightshire, I’ve already told them you weren’t around, but they…”
To her surprise, Vinson merely nodded and strode toward the elevator while pretending not to have noticed the men. One of them, however, had already spotted him and hastily stood up. “Mr. Nightshire…”
The four other men quickly followed suit, and the sight of Vinson sent them making a beeline for him. “Mr. Nightshire!” they shouted in unison.
“What’s the matter?” Vinson replied, narrowing his eyes as he stared at the men. For a moment, the group could only exchange sheepish glances. They knew they had gone overboard with their actions, but no matter how embarrassing it was, they needed to stand up and face the music.
Of course, if they had known Vinson could make a comeback, they wouldn’t have withdrawn their investments in the first place. “Mr. Nightshire, we truly had no choice back then but to pull out our funds. We—”
“I don’t see the need to bring up the past, and neither will I act against you people. However, there’s no way we can work together again,” Vinson replied as he coolly surveyed the five men in front of him. “Anyway, I still have a lot of work to do. Have a good day.”
With that, he stepped into the elevator, leaving the few men looking at one another dejectedly before dragging themselves out of Nightshire Group.
They had to give up any hopes of having a business partnership with Nightshire Group again, but as long as Vinson promised not to seek revenge, that was good enough for them.
Nightshire Group might not be as impressive as before, but it still had significant influence and power in the business world. If Vinson wanted to, he could always take them down in the blink of an eye. Therefore, as much as the men were disheartened at Vinson’s words, they also felt relieved that he had chosen to let the matter slide.
Not long after Vinson returned to his office, he ordered Rayson to gather their company’s shareholders for a meeting.
As a matter of fact, the company directors had been on tenterhooks ever since Vinson’s return. After all, they were the ones who had pressured Susanne into relieving the latter of his position.
Even though the sudden turn of events let Vinson end up with twenty percent more of the company shares and foiled their plan, the truth remained that they had coerced Susanne, and no one knew if Vinson would punish them for it.
Hence, when the directors learned about the meeting, they quickly started a discussion in their chat group.
What should we do now? Does Vinson want to settle the score with us?
At the rate my heart is racing, I can’t help but have a bad feeling about this.
Oh, how I wish we hadn’t been so forceful with Susanne. It feels like everything’s beyond our control now.
Even my son thinks we’ve gone overboard. He said we shouldn’t have forced Susanne in Vinson’s absence.
Before long, everyone in the chat group was airing their grievances and bemoaning their actions. Having read the entire conversation, Oswald whipped out his phone and immediately dialed a number.
I have to report our situation to that person and hear what suggestions he has for us.
As soon as the call went through, Oswald spoke up. “During the last meeting to replace Nightshire Group’s chairman, someone suddenly transferred twenty percent of the company shares to Vinson, which ruined our plan. Now that Vinson is back, he’s calling for a meeting with all of us. I have no idea what he’s up to, and that worries me.”
Upon hearing him, Gaspar narrowed his eyes and began drumming his fingers on the table. “In that case…”
Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 1809 Do As You Say
After hanging up the phone, Gaspar left to bid Micah goodbye. He had had enough of playing games with Vinson and wanted nothing more than to seize Nightshire Group back.
At that moment, however, Micah was fuming and glaring at Abigail. It was time for his acupuncture session, yet Arielle hadn’t taken the initiative to go to him. Since he had to leave in a couple of days, he ordered his subordinates to fetch her, only to find out Abigail had thrown her into the sea.
“Tell me. Why did you throw Arielle into the sea?” Micah scolded. I honestly don’t want to lose my temper at Abigail, but how could I not when her actions have put my health at stake?
“She diagnosed herself with viral hemorrhagic fever, one of the most infectious and fatal diseases, so how can I risk exposing you to it? What if you contracted it from her and died? What would the kids and I do without you?” Abigail said while choking back tears. Despite being almost forty, she was still irresistibly alluring, to the point where Micah’s heart ached at the sight of her tearing up.
“Even so, you didn’t have to throw her into the sea. She’s a doctor, and I’m sure she’ll find a way to cure herself. I still need her to nurse me back to health, for goodness’ sake. You’re too impatient!” Micah replied as he gently wiped away Abigail’s tears. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t care about what happens to Arielle or any other woman. Unfortunately, my health is now an issue.
Micah gazed at Abigail, not knowing what to say.
I’ve traveled to so many places, but Arielle was the only one who could diagnose me with just one look and cure me within a month. Alas, the current situation has dashed my hopes for a full recovery.
“She’s Chanaean, isn’t she? If worse comes to worst, we’ll go there. I’m sure she isn’t the only one in Chanaea who’s gifted in medicine,” Abigail reasoned.
Micah isn’t the only one who needs medical treatment. I need it too! I want to give him another baby! If he hadn’t developed ulterior motives toward Arielle, I’d have fought to keep her around despite her illness. It’s all Micah’s fault for revealing his feelings and making me scared of losing him!
Micah’s eyes instantly lit up at Abigail’s suggestion. Oh, that’s a brilliant idea! Once my work is all settled, I can head to Chanaea for a short break and get a doctor to examine me.
“All right, let’s do as you say!” he exclaimed before being informed by his subordinates that Gaspar had arrived. With that, Micah immediately instructed them to send the young man in.
“I’ll leave you two to it, then. I’ll get the housekeepers to prepare dinner,” Abigail said as she made her way to the kitchen like the gentle, loving wife she was. Micah couldn’t help but break into a smile. Oh, wouldn’t it be nice if we had another son?
Abigail had just stepped into the kitchen when Gaspar showed up, saying the goods had been delivered and it was time to take his leave.
Having known each other for almost a decade, Micah knew how busy Gaspar was and merely handed a card to him with a nod. “Here, this is the payment for the goods. What time are you leaving?”
Gaspar’s original plan was to leave that very day, but in the end, he changed his mind at the last minute. “I’ll set off tomorrow morning!”
“Good. Stay for dinner and take it as a farewell meal from us. Abigail has already told our housekeepers to start cooking,” Micah replied with a chuckle. Of course, Gaspar was only too happy to comply.
Anna joined them for dinner later that night, and it wasn’t long before she learned about Gaspar leaving the island. She turned to him immediately and blurted out, “I want to go with you.”

Before Gaspar could say anything, a deep frown had already crossed Micah’s brow. “Anna, what nonsense are you talking about?”
How can she tag along with Gaspar? Does she even know what he plans on doing? It’s not that I’m being unreasonable, but after ten years, I can confidently say I know Gaspar like the back of my hand. He may look all friendly and jolly, but deep down, he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing!
Anyone who crosses him won’t live to see another day. More importantly, he hates having women follow him around. The only exceptions he makes are for his female subordinates, so I’m sure Gaspar won’t agree to Anna’s request!
“I’m not spouting nonsense, Daddy,” Anna retorted as she turned to Gaspar. “Are you okay with me following you?”
If he says no, there’s nothing else I can do, is there? I’ve already fished for as much information as I can from Daddy and learned quite a bit about Gaspar.
Gosh, have I fallen for him because he’s my first man? One thing’s for sure—if we went our separate ways now, it’d be the end of our relationship. That’s all the more reason I want to be with him. I want to win him over!
As soon as they heard Anna’s question, Micah and Abigail promptly turned to Gaspar.
“Sure. You’re free to come along if you like,” the latter answered smilingly. Oh, what good timing! I had already planned on taking her away from this island, but she has saved me the trouble of asking Micah for permission!
Micah, however, couldn’t hide the shock on his face as he stared at Gaspar. He had been so sure that the young man would turn Anna down, so when the rejection didn’t happen, warning bells instantly went off in his head.
Why did Gaspar agree to take Anna along so readily? What are his intentions?
“G-Gaspar, how are you okay with that?” Micah queried.
Gaspar knew Micah’s mind must be swirling with questions, but if Anna didn’t want to say anything more, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to step in now. In the end, he looked at Micah and laughed. “Oh, I don’t mind. She can do whatever she likes. Besides, given our friendship, you can rest assured that I’ll keep her safe.”
Upon hearing that, Micah nodded. Hmm, that’s true. After all, I’ve known Gaspar for ten years. With him around, I’m confident she’ll be in safe hands.
“Since you want to follow Gaspar, remember not to cause any trouble for him,” Micah warned as he gazed at his daughter. “If you do, I’ll send someone to haul you back immediately.”
Having gotten her father’s approval, Anna smiled even brighter. However, she quickly collected herself before turning to Micah. “Don’t worry. I won’t give you any reason to bring me back here.”
How could I? I’ve already decided to follow Gaspar for the rest of my life. Our fates seem to be intertwined, and I’m sure we’ll be able to live happily together.
Abigail, on the other hand, was silently observing the young lady. Something told her that Anna was looking at Gaspar with love in her eyes, but she knew she could also be wrong. After all, the two of them had only been together for a few days and barely interacted with each other. How, then, could they have developed romantic feelings in such a short period?
Even though Abigail chose to keep the questions to herself, she had to admit she was against letting Anna leave with Gaspar. In fact, the more she thought about it, the more she felt like things were going out of her control.
I want to keep Anna on the island, but what else can I say when even Micah has given his approval? I guess the only thing I can do now is to find out what’s going on between Anna and Gaspar.
