Ch. 426..430: Stay Around You Now And Forever (Hunter Jackson) Chapter 426-430

Chapter 426: He is Finally Here

Sawyer was in an extremely bad condition this time.

The doctor had examined him and found that he didn't have a heart attack, but a stroke!

It was very dangerous for a person in his seventies to have a stroke.

"Doctor, you can contact Hunter, can't you? Help me give him a call. I have something to say to him!"

Emily didn't know what she could do now if she couldn't get in touch with Hunter!

"My grandfather cannot continue to stay here with his current condition. He has to go back to a big hospital for treatment. Please do me a favor. Or why don't you have someone ship us back?"

"Miss Gale, Patriarch Gale's condition isn't critical. Calm down."

The doctor had absolute confidence in his medical skills.

"At this time, we can't contact Young Master Hunter either. Miss Gale, I can't help you, sorry."

Emily didn't believe that they couldn't contact Hunter.

However, the doctor insisted on not helping her, so she could do nothing.

"Milady, don't panic. Dad will be fine."

In fact, Sasha was so anxious that her face turned pale. She was more helpless than Emily.

Sawyer used to be in good health, but he had fainted twice in the past few days.

Sasha was quite worried that something would happen to her father ...

It was all because of her.

If it weren't for her greed, how could things have turned out like this?

"It's all my fault. Milady, you can scold me. I am to blame for what happened."

After the doctor left, Sasha, who tried to keep composure in front of outsides, completely fell apart!

Emily didn't know what to say.

In fact, she knew very well that Sasha was also involved in this matter.

Sasha was supposed to be Wendy's accomplice.

But now, because of what had happened, Wendy had obviously kicked her out.

She had suffered a pang of conscience, so what if Emily scolded her?

"Sasha, don't be like this. We're family, so I won't scold you."

"No, Milady, you don't know what happened. It's all my fault!"

Sasha now felt a terrible sense of blame!

"I know. You made Grandpa tell you things between Joseph and me. Wendy wanted to scheme against us, but you just thought if Joseph and Grandpa planned to take revenge on you in the future, at least you had bargaining chips."

Sasha held her breath in shock, "Milady, you..."

"That's my guess."

Previously, Emily wasn't sure if she guessed right, but now, it seemed that she was right.

"Sasha, are you doing this for your son?"

Sasha clenched her fists. It took a while for her to calm down.

She sat beside the hospital bed and looked at her father who remained

unconscious. She was completely dispirited, just like a withered flower.

Sasha said nothing and also didn't want to explain more, because there was no such need at this moment.

Since things had reached this point, what was the use of making an explanation?

Moreover, Sasha knew clearly that she made a mistake.

"I'm sorry..."

Sasha suddenly looked down, tears filling her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Milady. I am too selfish ..."

"Sasha ..."

"I'm sorry! The person who drugged you and Joseph was me."

"Milady, I'm so sorry!"

Sasha suddenly stood up and ran out quickly.

She couldn't forgive herself, because things had been out of control. She could no

longer atone for the heinous crime she had committed!

It was Monday today. According to Wendy's plan, Joseph should be on the high

seas now.

Sasha cannot turn back. She ... was also an accomplice!

Even if the case was reversed in the future, she would be found guilty of fraud!

Even if she wasn't the mastermind, she would also be imprisoned.

Sasha had been suppressing her emotions for several days, but now she had a complete breakdown in front of Emily!

"Sasha!" Emily was startled, standing up quickly and chasing after her.

Sasha ran towards the stone forest in the distance.

Emily wasn't fast enough. By the time she arrived at the stone forest, Sasha had disappeared from her sight.

"Sasha! Come out, don't scare me!"

As long as Grandpa was fine and everyone was alive, there would be a remedy for everything.

"Sasha, I don't blame you. Joseph and I didn't do anything to damage the reputation of the Gale family. Sasha, things haven't completely gone out of control!"

"Come out. Don't hide yourself. This is a desert island. It's very dangerous! Sasha!"

However, nothing could be heard in the stone forest, nor was there any response from Sasha.

"Sasha, listen to me. Come out, and we won't blame you for whatever you have done."

"Sasha, we're family!"

"Sasha ..."

No matter how Emily shouted, there was no response.noveldrama

She feared that Sasha would kill herself.

Suddenly, the sound of an engine came from the sea.

Emily turned around and saw a speedboat approaching from the sea.

Could it be Hunter?

Right now, she was quite anxious to meet Hunter, because she needed to send her grandfather back for treatment!

Emily stopped chasing after Sasha, and ran towards the beach first.

The speedboat quickly stopped on the beach. When seeing who the person was

on the speedboat, Emily was suddenly overwhelmed by sadness and almost

cried.

She rushed over. As the person got off the speedboat and walked quickly towards

her, she ran into his arms.

He was here. He was finally here!

Everyone was waiting for him!

He was the hope of all of them!

"Joseph," Emily called him in a hoarse and strangled voice.

"Don't cry, I'm here now, don't cry!"

Joseph also felt grieved. Knowing that she must have suffered a lot, he hugged

her tightly.

"Don't be afraid. I'm here in front of you. Don't be afraid."

Emily took a deep breath. She wasn't that vulnerable, but too excited just now.

"Joseph, Sasha entered the dense forest. I couldn't find her. Can you ask someone to look for her? I'm afraid she'll hurt herself."

Joseph immediately waved to people behind him without asking anything, "Go

look for Sasha. You must bring her back."

"Yes!" Those people rushed towards the dense forest at once and quickly disappeared from sight.

"Where's Grandfather? Is he also on this island?" Joseph asked.

"Yes, I'll take you to see Grandpa."

Now Emily could called Sawyer Grandpa in a very natural way.

Undoubtedly, they were a family.

After all this, even if Emily wasn't Sawyer's granddaughter, in the minds of Joseph

and Sawyer, she was already their family.

Emily held Joseph's hand and quickly walked towards the wooden house with

him.

"Slow down, be careful ..." Joseph was a little worried that Emily would hurt the baby in her belly.

"It's fine. I'm very strong now."

How could she be so delicate at such a critical moment?

"Grandpa remains unconscious. Joseph, quickly get him out of here and send him

to hospital for treatment!"

Chapter 427: It was All for You

They hadn't found Sasha yet.

Joseph had no choice but to take Sawyer back for treatment.

"Joseph, you take Grandpa back first. I'll stay and look for Sasha."

Emily was deeply apprehensive that something would happen to Sasha.

In her current state, she was very likely to hurt herself at any time. Emily wouldn't feel easy about leaving her here.

"No, with your current state of health, I can't have you stay here."

Joseph finally found Emily and his grandfather with great effort, so it was impossible for him to leave her here.

"No, Joseph, listen to me. Sasha ... made some serious mistakes. Even if your people find her, if they can't persuade her, she won't go back."

"I said no ..."

"Joseph, I can persuade her. Of course, if you can find another person for me, things might be much easier."

That day, after escorting Sawyer back, Joseph immediately gathered the shareholders in the company who were willing to join hands with them.

The person Emily wanted arrived at the island in the evening.

"You..."

.." This wasn't the first time Francis had seen Emily, but he only caught several glimpses of her before without even greeting her.

Strictly speaking, he wasn't familiar with Emily at all.

But that didn't matter right now. The most important thing was ... "Where's my mom?"

"Everyone is looking for her." Emily stayed here only to wait for him.

"After Sasha entered the dense forest, we haven't found her yet. I wonder if she hid herself."

Emily grabbed his sleeve and said, "Francis, come with me and look for your mother."

Francis immediately followed her and walked into the dense forest.

Emily called his name familiarly just now, which surprised him a little.

Joseph told him that this girl was the true granddaughter of his grandfather, and his uncle's daughter.

Francis couldn't get familiar with her quickly, but compared with Wendy, he felt that Emily was lovelier.

"What exactly is going on?"

The dense forest covered a large area. Everyone had searched the place in front of them.

Right now, everyone's focus was the area behind them, deep in the forest.

That area was overgrown with weeds, which made it much more difficult for them to find Sasha there.

Francis had just come back, so he was unclear about what happened in the company.

However, he had obtained the general information.

Wendy made Sawyer transfer all his shares to her by some means.

Afterwards, she joint hands with Carl. Now she forced the board of directors to recognize her as president and dismissed Joseph.

However, Joseph said that it was unknown whether this share transfer was authentic or not.

He decided to sue Wendy, but the key person, Grandfather, remained unconscious.

It was unclear how things would go forward, but what exactly happened to Francis' mother?

"She colluded with Wendy ..."

"Impossible, my mother won't do such a thing!" Francis immediately retorted as his face darkened.

Emily turned her head to look at him, understanding what he was thinking.

If it were her, she also wouldn't believe it.

"Actually, that's true. Sasha made a confession to me."

Francis wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.

Emily continued, "I think she was only greedy for a moment, but now she regrets

it."

Just because she regretted it and felt sorry about doing something like that to her father and the Gale family, she chose to hide herself and didn't want to face anything.

She was one of the main culprits behind the Gale Group's current chaos. Perhaps Francis could gradually understand how his mother felt.

"But my mother isn't that kind of person. Power doesn't matter a lot to her."

He had been with his mother for so many years, so he knew better than anyone what kind of person his mother was.

His mother truly loved and cared about her elderly father.

How could his mother do such a foolish thing?

"If Sasha herself has no greed, then the only reason she would do that is because

of you."

"Me?" Francis was about to refute what she said, because he was even less interested in the Gale Group than his mother.

"It's not what you want, but what Sasha wants you to have!" Emily said first.noveldrama

Francis was so stunned that he remained silent, standing still where he was.

If everything his mother had done was only for him ...

"But she doesn't know that I don't want anything. That's not what I want!"

Francis had made it clear to his grandfather that he had no interest in anything of the Gale Group.

However, his mother didn't know about it at all.

Francis suddenly quickened his pace and rushed into the deep forest.

"Mom, I'm Francis. Can you hear me? Mom, come out. I'm Francis. I'm here looking for you!"

Deep in the forest, insects and birds could be heard occasionally, but no one responded.

"Young Master Francis, it's very dangerous in the forest at night. Be careful!" The bodyguards walking beside them warned.

However, Francis couldn't think too much.

If his mother really did something to let the Gale family down for him, she would definitely feel extremely guilty when seeing his grandpa in a poor state of health!

What if his mother really hurt herself ...

No! He couldn't let her be in any danger!

"Mom, listen to me. Come out first and go home with me. Everything can be settled!"

Francis had been calling Sasha in the dense forest for a long time, but she didn't respond at all.

"Mom, you..."

Suddenly, Emily gently tugged at his sleeve, stood on tiptoe and whispered something into his ear.

After thinking for a moment, Francis nodded and continued walking forward. However, he seemed to miss his step, and suddenly slipped all the way down. "Francis!" Emily was startled and quickly ran towards him. "Francis, are you okay?"

"Young Master Francis!"

The bodyguards also ran over and shouted, "Young Master Francis, are you alright? Young Master Francis!"

However, nothing could be heard down the slope.

Emily was so anxious that she almost stamped her foot. "Sasha, something happened to Francis. Sasha!"

Just now, she indeed advised Francis to pretend to have an accident.

But she didn't expect that he actually missed his step and slipped down the slope.

Without receiving Francis' reply, Emily was extremely worried and hurried to say, "You two, see if there is a path to go down."

"Yes, Miss Gale!"

The two bodyguards immediately started their search.

Emily squatted on the slope and continued to call, "Francis, are you okay? Please

say something to me! Francis!"

Why was there no sound at all? Could it be that something really happened to

him?

Just as Emily didn't know what to do with great anxiety, on the other side of the forest, someone rushed out from behind the bushes.

"Francis! Francis, where are you? Don't scare me!"

Emily looked back.

In the moonlight, who else could that anxious woman be but Sasha?¶¶¶¶

Chapter 428: Face It Together"Sasha!" Emily faked Francis's accident, but she didn't expect Sasha to really take the bait.

However, although Sasha had showed up, Francis still made no response.

What happened down there?

"Francis! How are you? Where are you? Answer me!"

Standing by the slope, Sasha could see nothing but pure darkness from up here.

She was so worried but there was no way to get down there.noveldrama

Desperate, Sasha tried to slide down the slope as the last resort, only to find Francis.

"Sasha! Are you out of your mind?"

Emily immediately grabbed her hand before she could do anything stupid.

"We have no idea what it's like down there. If it's too deep ..."

"If it's too deep, then my Francis ..."

That very possibility made Sasha even more worried.

So she broke free from Emily's hand and was about to slide down the slope.

At this moment, Francis's hearty voice came from below.

"Mom, I'm fine. It's just a joke!"

With that, he climbed up the vine and got back there in two twos.

"Francis! Are you okay? Injured?"

Scared to death, Sasha examined her son for a long time, and only after she confirmed that he was fine did she heave a sigh of relief.

But then, something seemed to have occurred to her. Her expression suddenly changed and she turned around immediately, escaping.

Francis had long expected this. So, the moment she turned around, he caught her by her hand.

"Francis, let go of me! I don't want to go back. I don't deserve to go back. And I don't want to face them!"

"But Mom, if you don't come back, what about me? Are you gonna abandon me?"

"You still have your grandpa, your aunt and Joseph. They will take good care of you!"

If she went back, Francis would definitely get into trouble because of her.

For she had made mistakes, and he would be condemned for being the son of such a vicious and greedy woman.

She couldn't get him involved in this, nor did she want him to look down on her!

"Mom, how much longer do you wanna hide? Don't tell me you won't come back forever and won't see me anymore."

Francis didn't let go no matter what.

The weeds around here were basically all taller than her. As long as she was determined to hide, it would be really difficult to find her again.

"Mom, let's go home first, and we'll talk about it seriously, okay?"

"No, I really don't know how to face them. And I ... I don't want to face your grandfather, either!"

"Mom, are you still feeling wronged for me? You think Grandpa doesn't treat me well?"

Francis pulled her back. In her stunned gaze, he softened his voice.

"Mom, you really misunderstood Grandpa. It's not that he doesn't want to put me in an important position; it's because I don't want to stay in the Gale Group."

"You don't have to lie to me. I know what's going on."

Sawyer had always deemed Francis inferior to Joseph.

She admitted that her son was indeed not as shrewd a businessman as Joseph.

But her son was also a young talent. She had always believed that he was capable and competent!

"No, you don't. You really don't understand it this time."

Francis held onto her wrist tightly, but his tone was so gentle.

"Mom, at that time, Grandpa offered me the position of Vice President at the Gale

Group, and Joseph would be the only one of a higher rank to me."

"What?" Sasha suddenly turned around and stared at him in shock.

Vice president? Was he serious?

She really wanted to leave that position to her son, but she knew that he was not cut out for it.

Literally.

But had Sawyer really ever promised Francis such an imperative position? "It's true, Mom. It was two years ago."

“Impossible!” That was ridiculous! Francis was merely a rookie two years ago!

"Joseph was able to take charge of the Gale Group long ago, thus Grandpa wanted to give me a nudge. He hoped all of us Gale kids to be outstanding. But I failed him. I told Grandpa that I don't wanna stay in the Gale Group."

"Son ..."

"Mom, I'm not lying. I don't like business at all."

Sasha only bit her lips and didn't say anything.

Emily stood at the side and didn't interrupt their conversation.

Francis continued, "I told Grandpa that I like adventure and traveling around. I don't like to sit in the company at all.

But Grandpa told me that I must consider your feelings. Because if I failed, you will be the most disappointed person."

"I..." Sasha looked down.

Yes, Sawyer was right. She would be the most disappointed person should her son fail.

In fact, the very reason of her fighting for him was precisely because she didn't like his current state.

She was not so much dissatisfied with Sawyer's arrangement as with her son's incompetence.

But how could she tell him this? It would discourage him and make him lose confidence in himself.

"But I'm really not interested in these things at all. The last thing I would do was to

go to work at the Gale Group. So, Grandpa offered me a way out ..."

"What do you mean?" Sasha interrupted.

Francis smiled, "Mom, have you noticed a travel agency in City L that has developed exponentially in the past two years?"

"The Voyager Group?" She was the general manager of the Gale Group, of course she had always kept an eye on the start-ups in the business world. "You..." Suddenly, Sasha stared at her son in disbelief, her eyes wide open. "You mean ... you mean the mysterious boss of the Voyager Group is ... is ...”

"Yes, it's me!"

Although he had previously thought that he was not interested in business, Francis didn't expect that he would be so successful in this other area.

"Two years ago, Grandpa lent me two billion yuan to start a small company. I don't know how either; it just grows like this."

Back then, he was quite afraid that he would squander away this money.

Grandpa had even said that he would not give him any advice or help.

It was precisely because his grandfather had granted him so much freedom that

he could keep working in high spirits for the Voyager Group in the past two years.

There was no feeling of being shackled, nor were there any rules and regulations. Everything was developing wildly!

However, because of this wildness, the Voyager Group had managed to become one of City L's top 3 travel agencies in just two years.

Even Francis himself found the rapidity of its development incredulous.

"Son, don't... don't lie to me."

Sasha choked. She had always thought her son as incompetent, but she didn't

know that he was doing better than anyone else in another field!

It turned out that her son was really so outstanding, while she had always thought incompetent.

that he was...

"Son ..."

"Mom, it's my bad. I didn't grow up in the way that you hoped."

Francis loosened his grip and gently hugged her.

"But Mom, please, trust me. You can rely on me. When you are old, you can rely

on me, completely. I will make you proud. I promise."

Sasha nodded, choking even harder.

The Voyager Group had already proven to her that she could indeed rely on him.

And she would never need to worry about anyone criticizing her son anymore!

Her son was the best!

Emily let out a sigh of relief. She didn't expect to see such a U-turn.

But now, instead of keeping crying here, it was better to go back first.

"Sasha," she walked over and took Sasha's hand gently. "Grandpa is still in a coma. I'm afraid that he would be worried if he didn't see us when he wakes up." "Yes, mom, the Gales is in trouble now. We can't stay out of this." Francis also held her hand and said firmly, "We are a family. So now we have to go back and face it together!"

Chapter 429: Most Important to Stay Together

Sasha also returned.

Finally, all the Gales were present.

"Emily is the real Miss Gale. This is the test report and I personally oversaw the whole process."

Joseph put the report on the table.

In the hall, everyone but Sawyer, who was still in a coma, was present.

Even Milo, the old butler who had served Sawyer for so many years, was there too.

Actually, there wasn't really any doubt about the fact that Emily was indeed Sawyer's granddaughter.

The test report was more or less unnecessary.

"No matter what, we're finally here, all of us."

The fact that Harley wouldn't be back seemed to be a certainty, but at least, his real daughter was here.noveldrama

Lottie held Emily's hand and was already in tears before she could say anything. "Kid, you must have suffered a lot these years, living with someone like Wendy." Everyone resonated with Lottie's words.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was very gloomy.

Emily only smiled and comforted her, "I'm fine. Haven't I survived? Don't worry. Wendy is indeed quite vicious, but I can handle it.”

"But this time, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Sasha was very guilty. She looked at Joseph and said, "Even if we wanna sue Wendy, with father's situation, we don't really stand a chance."

Sawyer was still unconscious, so the lawsuit had to be filed by his families instead.

Sasha was there when Sawyer signed the share transfer letter, so she could appear in court as a witness.

However, Sasha was the one who trick the old man out to the sea. Thus, her testimony wasn't very trustworthy to the public.

Therefore, the case might not be opened until Sawyer woke up.

"It's fine. We can at least ask the court to freeze these shares first so that Wendy wouldn't be able to sell them."

The worst case scenario was Wendy selling her shares to people who harbored ill intentions. And that person might purchase a large number of shares from other holders.

In that case, the Gale Group was very likely to change hands one day.

"But Wendy now holds so many shares in her hands, plus, several major holders are following her. The Gale Group has already fallen into her hands, as a matter of fact."

Although Francis didn't work at the Gale Group, he still had 3% of its shares.

So, he was supposed to be invited to the shareholders' meeting.

Obviously, Wendy was trying to override the power of the Gales in the Gale Group completely.

"Now that we're filing a lawsuit, Wendy shouldn't make any big moves at this time."

Joseph's words could always comfort the Gales.

"I will contact the other shareholders privately. Just leave it to me. Don't worry."

He looked at Sasha and Lottie, "You still have important positions in the company,

so keep calm for the time being. Please go back and do your job."

"If we go back now, wouldn't we be living at Wendy's mercy?"

Knowing that Wendy was not the real Miss Gale but still working for her, how could Sasha be willing to do that?

Lottie looked at his son, sighed and nodded, "I see. I won't act on impulse." "Sister ..."

"It is precisely because the company has fallen into Wendy's hands and Joseph is not the president anymore that we can't afford making any mistake."

Right now, Wendy could call a shareholders' meeting at any time to remove them from their posts if something went wrong or their attitudes were not okay to her. Then, there would be no Gale in the Gale Group.

"Sasha, it's not the time to act on impulse. You have to learn to endure, understand?"

For all these years, Sasha was good at nearly everything but enduring.

She had a bad temper and would do things in a hurry sometimes.

So this was actually a good opportunity for Sasha to refine her temperament.

"Promise me that you won't provoke Wendy or cause trouble until Joseph comes up with a better solution."

Lottie stared at her sister with a serious face.

"You cannot give her any chance to find faults with you, okay?"

Facing her sister's stern gaze, no matter how angry Sasha was, she could only calm down.

Finally, she nodded.

"I see. I won't let her have any opportunity!"

"Now, that is my good sister!"

Lottie smiled and let out a sigh of relief.

Joseph looked at everyone and smiled, "Actually, the most important thing is that

we are together now.

As long as our family is united, nothing will be truly difficult."

Nothing was more important than the family being united.

Emily had been thinking about Joseph's words for the whole night. They lingered

in her mind.

Family is only complete when they are together!

The Gales were together now, but the father of her child...

It was inevitable for her to think about those things when she was alone.

She touched her belly, fantasizing that her baby was asleep inside, sound and quiet.

She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice that someone else had come in.

"Still thinking about him?" Joseph pulled out a chair and sat down opposite her. His gaze also fell on her belly.

A baby was in there, but not many people knew about it.

"Joseph, what happened between you and me..."

"Don't worry. As long as you don't go on the Internet and read the news, everything would be fine."

He was afraid that if she took a look, she would suffer from cyber-attacks.

Wendy had hired people to hype up their affairs, and now, it was getting more and more exaggerated.

There were still things that Emily did not know and Joseph did not want her to

know.

“In short, you just stay at home now and take good care of yourself. Don't think about anything else."

"You mean... there's still a huge storm on the Internet?"

Emily almost couldn't help but pick up her phone to check it.

However, Joseph's gaze calmed her down.

"Listen to me. Don't look, don't ask, and don't think. I will settle it down."

He held her hand and said, "Take care of yourself, okay?"

Emily bit her lips and finally nodded.

She could not be a burden to Joseph now, nor could she drag him down.

Like he said, the most important thing right now was to take good care of herself.

They still have to take care of Grandpa!

Only when she recovered could she have more energy to do that. "Joseph, I know what to do. I won't let you worry about me. You have my words."

Joseph nodded, "Have a good night. I'll take you to grandpa tomorrow."

"That won't be necessary. You must have a lot of things to do. Just do your things. It's fine."

Emily sent him out of the room, "I will go with Milo. He'll take care of

 

Chapter 430: Are You Keeping Something from Me

Joseph walked into his room and just as he closed the door, the assistant called.

"Master, these photos are clearly candid ones. The camera is in your room."

Joseph walked to the side of the bed and took a closer look, yet found no trace of a camera.

"Master, I'm afraid the evidence has already been destroyed. It must be one of our own guys; outsiders can't succeed so easily."

The assistant was a little helpless, "It is pointless to look for the source of the photos now. More importantly, the photos have already been spread out."

"I know." Joseph turned on his laptop.

He took a look at the social media; the photos of him sleeping with Emily were all over there. And there were even some videos.

Fortunately, someone had come in and interrupted them before it was too late.

Otherwise, if something did happen, Emily's whole life would be totally ruined!

How malicious was the person who posted the photos!

And who would that be except Wendy?

It was really surprising that this time, even he was defeated.

"Master, these photos are spread so widely now that the public seems to be

certain about their version of your relationship with Miss Emily."

The assistant was a little hesitant, but he had to say it.

"Master, with these photos online, it's definitely not the time to reveal Miss Emily's real identity."

"I know!"

This was what Wendy was up to.

Even if Emily was the real Miss Gale, the public mustn't know it right now.

Otherwise, their affair would make the Gales a mere joke.

And such a joke -- such a stain -- would never be cleared.

So they couldn't reveal Emily's identity at will.

Wendy wanted to use the public opinion to threaten them.

As long as they tell the public that she was the fake Miss Gale, she would immediately admit that Emily was the real Miss Gale.

At that time, though it wouldn't hurt Joseph very much, Emily would be sure to bear the brunt and suffer like hell.

"Do some digging on the celebrities and cover this up completely."

"Yes, I'll try my best."

The key was that their opponent was stirring up the ruckus at the same time.

In City L, the affair of Joseph, the master of the Gales and the last president of the Gale Group, was probably not something that would be covered up by celebrity affairs.

So he could only say that he would try his best.

Joseph didn't say anything else. Hanging up the phone, he scanned through the articles and photos on the Internet again.

He was thinking about several people.noveldrama

Who would be the person behind Wendy?

Could it really be Hunter?

Emily was his woman, but didn't he care about his own woman at all? Really?

If this were to be leaked, the rest of Emily's life would be, most likely, totally ruined.

Hunter, if it was really you who was behind all this, would you regret it in the future?

Emily got up early in the morning and tidied herself up.

Seeing that her complexion was a little pale, she even put on some powder today

to make herself look better.

If Grandpa could wake up, he would definitely be worried when he saw her pale face.

"Milo, let's go." She went downstairs with her handbag.

Milo felt a little complicated when he saw her.

After hesitating for a while, he said, "Miss Emily, there isn't really any news from

the hospital. How about you just stay at home today? Don't go out."

"Why? I want to see Grandpa." Emily blinked and walked over to him, a little puzzled. "Didn't we have a deal?"

"No, but the Old Master is still the same today. If he doesn't wake up, it would only be a waste of time for you to visit him."

"That is different. I have to go to the hospital to take care of Grandpa. How could I be at ease to leave him completely to other people?"

Emily tilted her head and stared at his face, "Milo, you seem to be really troubled. Are you keeping something from me?"

"Of course not!"

Milo responded too fast and appeared to be somewhat guilty instead.

Emily frowned, and her doubts grew even heavier.

"Milo, are you ... really hiding something from me?"

"How can an old man like me hide anything from you?"

"Okay, then let's go." The more he delayed, the more Emily was worried.

However, Milo had received a mission today, and that was to try his best to keep her home.

What if they run into the reporters when they go out...

Milo was really worried that without Joseph being here, he would not be able to handle these things on his own.

"I... Well, Miss Emily, I... Since the hospital said that the Old Master is fine, why don't we... why don't we go see him tomorrow..."

"Milo, just tell me honestly, did something happen to Grandpa?"

Emily's heart skipped a beat. The more she thought about it, the more she was sure that this was the case.

She turned anxious, "Milo, if you don't take me, I'll go myself. I can drive myself!" Something must have happened to Grandpa, or Milo wouldn't be so hesitant.

What exactly happened? Did the situation get worse?

Emily turned around to leave without further thinking.

"No, no. The Old Master is perfectly fine. Miss Emily, listen to me. He's really fine."

Joseph had gone out early this morning and looked very busy. He must have to deal with a lot of things.

Both Lottie and Sasha had gone to the company. So, he was the only one who could accompany Emily in the family.

Joseph had said that Miss Emily was in poor health, so how could he let her go out on her own?

"Miss Emily, I'll go with you. I'll go with you now. Don't panic."

Although Emily was pregnant, she was still young and walked much faster than Milo.

Chasing after her, Milo was nearly out of breath.

"Miss Emily, I'll go with you. Don't worry, don't... I can't do it. My stomach!"

Milo suddenly covered his stomach and screamed, "Miss Emily, my stomach hurts; it hurts so much!"

Emily was stunned. She stopped and quickly turned back.

"Milo, how are you? Are you alright?"

"I... I'm out of breath!"

Milo was clearly short of breath as his old face flushed red.

"Miss Emily, my stomach hurts when I walk too fast. Please don't let me chase

after you so hard."

Seeing that his face was really red, Emily felt a little guilty.

"I'm sorry, Milo. I just ..."

"It's fine, it's fine. I know. You're just worried about the Old Master."

Milo had no choice but to go with her right now.

"Don't panic. He is really alright. I'll go with you to the hospital right now."☐☐☐☐
