Chapter 281 They Had Come Prepared
She had never seen Adele care so much about Owen before. She did not expect that this time, her elder brother saved the beauty in a heroic manner. Instead, it was a blessing in disguise and pulled the relationship between the two of them closer!
It seemed that there was still hope for Adele to become her future sister-in-law!
Hearing her words, Adele’s cheeks turned a little red. He quickly pushed her and said in a low voice, “Don’t talk nonsense about Emily.”
Emily curled his lips into a smile. He made a “shh” gesture and said nothing.
Looking at her gossipy appearance, Adele wanted to laugh. Just as he was about to tease her, a voice suddenly came from the door.
The door of the ward was pushed open. The leader was a young nurse, and the tall man standing behind her with a cold face was none other than Damon.
Adele was shocked and froze on the spot. Emily, who was next to her, raised his hand and poked her. “Adele, that…”
Why would that jerk come here?
Before they could think clearly, Damon had already walked in.
The nurse in the room had just finished checking and packed up the tray. She gave Owen a few words of advice and was about to turn around and leave.
Coincidentally, Owen raised his head and was also stunned when he saw the man who had walked in.
Damon’s gaze swept across the entire room indifferently. Finally, his gaze landed on Owen. He nodded slightly at him and said, “Chief Song.”
When he saw Damon, a cold light appeared in Owen’s eyes as he politely replied, “Mr. Yusuf, what’s the matter?”.
The relationship between the two of them was ordinary, so it was obvious that Damon had not come to see him.
“I’m here to find someone and have a few words with him. I’ll leave after that.”.
As he spoke, he turned to look at Adele, who was at the side. His eyes were straight and white, not hiding anything.
Adele took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Although she didn’t know why Damon was looking for her, she still maintained a calm expression. “Mr. Yusuf, what’s the matter?” she asked.
“Come out and talk.”
After saying this, Damon turned around and walked straight out of the ward.
Adele was slightly startled. Before she could react, Emily, who was beside her, had already said with dissatisfaction, “What kind of attitude is that? Adele, I think you shouldn’t go.”
“I’m going out for a while. I’ll be back soon.” Adele took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and said softly.
After that, she gave Emily a comforting smile and walked out.
Since Damon had found this place, there must be something important.
After leaving the ward, Adele saw a tall figure standing not far away. “Mr. Yusuf, what’s the matter?” Adele walked forward.
Damon turned around and looked at Adele. Her eyes were dark and her lips curled into a mocking smile. “You came to the hospital after work. You really have a deep affection for Owen.”
The man’s obvious sarcasm made Adele frown uncomfortably. She neither admitted nor denied his words. “What’s the matter?”
Damon frowned. A moment later, she finally straightened up and said, “Did anything unexpected happen the day you went to deliver the proposal?”
An unexpected thing?
At that moment, a person’s face flashed through Adele’s mind. She suddenly felt a little nervous.
After hesitating for a moment, her lips moved and she said lightly, “No.”.
Hearing this, the man opposite her darkened his eyes and asked again, “Really?”.
Adele took a deep breath and said in a determined tone, “No.”.
She pretended to be calm, but there was a flash of panic in her eyes.
When it came to unexpected matters, it could only be Clara. However, Clara was Damon’s girlfriend, so she would definitely not do such a thing to betray him. If she were to hand over the person like this, not only would she not be able to solve the problem, she would also cause an unpleasant relationship between Clara and Damon. After considering it this way, she might as well say that there was nothing between them from the beginning.
Moreover, she owed Clara a favor.
Beside him, Damon looked at him fixedly, as if he wanted to see through her. In the end, he withdrew his gaze. “Yes, I understand.”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
When Ben saw this, he quickly followed.
Seeing the two of them walk away one after another, Adele let out a sigh of relief and turned back to the ward.
On the other side, Damon went into the elevator with a gloomy face.
Ben could not help but ask, “President, the surveillance here clearly found that Miss Moore also got on Secretary Ruan’s car. They left together. Why did Secretary Ruan refuse to tell?”
For the sake of her own innocence, a normal person would definitely say all the suspicious details.
As for her, not only did she not say anything, she even hid it.
Damon frowned, his expression a little serious.
He had originally gone to investigate this to help her, but he never expected that she would not cooperate at all.
“Forget it, let her be.”
After saying this, Damon pursed his thin lips and did not want to say anything related to Adele.
Originally, the news of the project proposal being leaked was already a big blow to Yusuf Group. He did not expect that the next morning, another thing poured a bucket of oil on Yusuf Group.
Early in the morning, rumors about Damon and the female star Isabella were flying everywhere. River City and the other major media outlets all had this exposure. The female star’s underground relationship was exposed and the mysterious boyfriend was President Yusuf Group. The news even posted photos of two people. In the photo, the woman helped the man out of the car and walked into the hotel together. They looked very intimate.
The not-so-clear photos could vaguely make out the outline of the two people, and even the media dug out the photos of the other two people in the same industry, calculating the date of their relationship.
This matter, whether it was for River City’s entertainment circle or the business circle, was a sensational matter.
Isabella was the popular little flower today. Her resources were excellent. Originally, there were some conjectures about her so-called “financial backer” on the Internet. Unexpectedly, today it was completely exposed. And Damon was a famous single noble in the business circle. When the two people were together, it was natural to make a lot of questions.
In the president’s office, the assistant and secretary were busy.
“President, the stock has been falling.”
Ben frowned and immediately showed the notebook in his hand to Damon. Damon waved his hand, stood up, and walked to the window without saying anything.
From the moment he saw the news, he had already guessed it.
Things happened one after another, and it was obvious that the opponent had come prepared.
After experiencing such a turmoil, it was impossible for the stock to not fall.
“President, what should we do now?” Ben asked worriedly.
“Feng Ping can’t control himself for a while. Let the public relations department do their best to clear things up. As for the rest, let nature take its course,” Damon said coldly.
“Do we need to hold a press conference to clarify things? Your relationship with Isabella is clearly not what the rumors say. Moreover, Miss Moore…”
After pondering for a moment, Damon instructed coldly, “Send an official notice, but it should not be of much use. Isabella will also have her studio issue a statement.”
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Then, the door was pushed open, and Adele’s anxious voice sounded. “Mr. Yusuf, the shareholders are requesting a meeting.”
When Damon heard this, he raised his eyebrows and did not speak.
To him, the most terrifying thing was not the public opinion on the Internet, but this group of tricky high-level executives in the company. Their existence was like a ticking time bomb, and it could drag him down from the position of president at any time!
