Chapter 138 Kent Barton So Incensed That He Vomited Blood Annalise Barton ignored Kent Barton and left with Julian Parks. Julian asked Annalise with concern, âDid he yell at you?â âNo.â Annalise looked at Julian Parksâs concerned expression, and her pounding heart felt warm. âDid he say something nasty?â Julian asked again.
âAgain, no.â Annalise looked at Julian and shook her head with a smile. She couldnât be bothered at all by what people she didnât care for said. A concerned look from the person she cared about was enough to satisfy her. Seeing that Julianâs expression had softened, Annalise could not help but ask with concern, âHave you finished eating?â
âIâve finished my meal. Did you not eat well? Iâll take you somewhere else to eat,â Julian said as he led Annalise to the parking lot. âI ate very well, and now, I am full.â Annalise smiled and patted her tummy.
She would never let herself suffer, so she didnât hold back at all when eating with Kent.
Seeing Annalise patting her tummy, Julian stopped in his tracks and looked at her with a doting smile.
âItâs good that youâre full.â He couldnât resist extending his hand and patting her tummy. Under the sunlight, they looked at each other and smiled. Julian doted on her, and Annalise was charming.
He reached out again and stroked her head. In Annaliseâs world, Julian always had a gentle smile on his lips. The two of them prepared to walk to the office of the Moonlight Group. They chatted while their food was being digested.
Looking from afar, Julian appeared handsome and elegant. He was dressed in a business suit and had a noble air. His smile was warm, like a gust of spring breeze. Annalise was young and beautiful, witty and astute, and she had a dazzling smile.
Julian walked forward while Annalise walked backward. They talked and laughed. He tugged at her from time to time, afraid she would trip over the tree behind her. It was two in the afternoon.
Julian and Annalise arrived at the building of the Moonlight Group on time. The Presidentâs office was closed. The secretary informed Annalise that Kent was not in. Annalise knew that she had been tricked.
Her face darkened slightly, and she immediately called Kentâs number.
Initially, she thought that Kent would not answer her call. To her surprise, Kent answered after two rings. He sounded very weak. âAnna, I was about to call you. Iâm sorry. My body is weak, and Iâm in the hospital now. We canât hold the shareholdersâ meeting this afternoon anymore.â Annalise asked calmly, âWhat happened to you, Uncle Kent?â To avoid signing the agreement, Kent actually pretended to be sick. He was really shameless.
âSigh! High blood pressure. My blood pressure just soared to 180. Fortunately, I came to the hospital in time. The doctor said that if my blood pressure soars too high, there is a risk that my blood vessels will burst. I may have to stay in the hospital for a few days,â said Kent.
Kent guessed that Julian would not stay in Horington for long. After all, Julian was the person in charge of Parks Group and was a busy man. How could he have the time to waste on Annalise? When Julian was gone, Annalise would be at his mercy.
At that point, Kent would suppress his temper and conscientiously persuade her. He would lecture her on the gains and losses and spend more time and effort brainwashing her. Then, he would give her some gifts to express his care and love.
For someone like Annalise, who grew up in the countryside and had not seen much of the world, she would definitely think that Kent was too nice to her if he gave her a bag worth more than 15 thousand dollars.
If she still refused to listen, he would have to take the last step. âThen Uncle Kent, rest well in the hospital,â Annalise said. Kent was overjoyed when he heard Annalise give in. âAlright, alright. Iâll take good care of my bodyâ¦â
However, before he could finish, he heard Annalise say, âHigh blood pressure is a chronic illness You need time to recover slowly. Which hospital are you in, Uncle Kent? Iâll come and look for you to sign it later. After signing it, Iâll hold a shareholdersâ meeting Uncle Kent, you can just focus on recuperating Iâll manage the company well.â
Kent was so angry that he almost vomited blood. His eyes flickered violently for a moment, and he could not find any words to refute her. He could only pretend to be deaf and mute. âAh⦠Anna⦠What did you say? Hello, hello⦠Hello? This signal is too poor⦠Hello, Anna? Are you still listeningâ¦â Then he hung up. Hmph! Kent didnât even tell Annalise which hospital he was in. How could Annalise find him?
Initially, Kent thought Annalise might come to the hospital to visit him. He could also pretend to be sick and use this opportunity to repair his relationship with his niece. Didnât many pairs of father and child who had turned against each other end up repairing their relationship suddenly when the father fell sick? To his surprise, Annalise was as smelly and hard as a rock in a latrine. As Kent thought about it, his expression turned icy.
In that case, there was no need for him to meet Annalise. As long as he did not meet her, she would not be able to get him to sign the document. If he did not sign it, Annalise would not be able to get the shares. If Annalise took the legal route, Kent could use public opinion.
If public opinion couldnât make Annalise relent, Kent could only execute short-selling on the shares of the Moonlight Group. Fortunately, he was already prepared to do this..
As he thought about it, Kent sneered and lay comfortably on the hospital bed, scrolling through his phone.He would stay in the hospital for half a day and not return to the Barton familyâs residence at night. He would stay in a hotel. If Annalise wanted to find him, she could dream on.

Suddenly Kent felt a little sleepy. He yawned and closed his eyes to sleep. It was better to be rich. The VIP ward was truly homely and comfortable. âLetâs go to the hospital now,â Annalise said. Julian asked, âDo you know which hospital?â
âI donât know. I have to check,â Annalise said. She might have to make a trip home to get her computer to locate Kent Barton. Alternatively, Annalise could call her fourth mentor James Brown for help. James was a top-notch hacker. No, to be precise, he was a Red Hacker.
His team specialized in protecting the countryâs cybersecurity. âIâll check,â Julian volunteered. Annalise looked at Julian in surprise. So Julian was also a hacker? âSend me Kentâs number, Julian said.
âAlright.â Annalise immediately sent Kentâs number to Julian.
Julian made a call. âYou have one minute to check the location of this phone number. I want the specific hospital ward number.â Annalise Barton was speechless. She had thought that Julian was also a hacker and would investigate it himself. So he wasnât one after all.
However, it was normal. Julian had learned all kinds of skills from a young age. How could he have the time to learn hacking skills? âWhat are you thinking?â Julian raised his eyes to look at Annalise.
Annalise smiled and said, âNothing.â Julian reached out and stroked Annaliseâs head.
A minute later, he received the location of the hospital and the ward number where Kent Barton was staying. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, âGet in the car. Weâll go to the hospital.â
Kent was all groggy from his sleep when he felt someone shouting âUncle Kent.â He turned over in annoyance and thought to himself that even his dream would not let him sleep in peace. âUncle Kent!â
Annalise shouted again. Then she said, âGet up and sign the document.â Kent became even more speechless. It was really annoying that he had even dreamed about signing. Signing?
Kent literally had a rude awakening. When he opened his eyes, he saw two figures in front of the bed.
Who else could it be but Annalise and Julian? For a moment, he thought that he was seeing things. He blinked his eyes hard and looked again. The two of them were still standing in front of his bed like door gods.
