Chapter 139 Taking Kent Barton For Walks Kent Barton sat up abruptly. âYou guys⦠How did you find me?â âSince Uncle Kent is sick, I should come over and visit,â Annalise Barton said. âUncle Kent has worked hard to manage the Moonlight Group over the years. Just leave it to me to manage in the future. Uncle Kent, take a look at the agreement and sign it.â Annalise handed over the share transfer agreement to Kent. âArgh⦠Doctorâ¦â
Kent pretended to vomit as he shouted for the doctor. He reached for the bell again.
After a while, the doctor rushed in and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â Kent pretended to be sick. âDoctor, I feel like vomiting. Arghâ¦â The doctor immediately said to Annalise and Julian, âCan the patientâs family members please step back a little? The patient canât breathe properly, and he needs fresh air.â
After saying that, the doctor asked Kent, âHow do you feel?â âI still feel like vomiting,â said Kent. âTII help you to the treatment room now,â the doctor said. Kent got up from the bed âwith difficulty.â Annalise wanted to take another step forward, but Julian held her hand.
After Kent was helped out by the doctor, Annalise said to Julian, âI get the feeling heâs going to run away again.â âYouâre right,â Julian said firmly. âI need to get his signature,â Annalise said. âSince he wants to play cat and mouse, weâll play with him!â Julian seemed very interested. Of course, he did not want to play with Kent, but he wanted to let Kent know that hiding was useless.
Furthermore, he also suspected that Kent might have installed a hidden camera somewhere and deliberately acted like this. At the appropriate time, he would manipulate public opinion with the video clip to say that Annie had seized the shares while he was sick. Although public opinion could not change the outcome, the psychological attacks of public opinion were sometimes destructive.
He looked around and found a button-sized camera at the position of a switch. Seeing the camera, Annaliseâs face darkened even more. Kent Barton was really shameless! However, she knew what to do now.
She would not give Kent a chance to make use of public opinion. Julian clicked on his phone and sent a command stating. âTrack down the number I sent earlier again.â A minute later, he received the location. True enough, Kent Barton ran away His location was already 300 meters away from the hospital.
Julian glanced at the location. Then, he looked out of the window and saw that Kent was running to the parking lot. He quickly got into a car and started the car to drive away. Annalise saw it too. She was speechless and said, âIâll just sue him directly.â
Kent could run, but he could not hide. The usual legal route would take some time. Even if Kent did not want to show up, he would still have to. If he really did not show up, the court would issue a default judgment in his absence. It would not affect the outcome. âWeâll play with him! Letâs go!â Julianâs lips curled into an icy and taunting smile. The two left the hospital.
Julian drove. Ten minutes later, they stopped at the entrance of a milk tea shop. Annalise was stunned.
âHeâs hiding in the milk tea shop?â âHaha! No.â Julian couldnât help but laugh when he saw Annaliseâs widened eyes.
He got out of the car with Annalise and said to the shop assistant, âHello. Medium cup matcha with half the sugar at room temperature.â Annaliseâs eyes widened again. âHow did you know?â Julian smiled without saying anything.
He wasnât going to tell her that heâd seen many receipts in the open box on top of the shoe cabinet in her apartment. Many of them were from this milk tea shop and had the words âMedium cup matcha with half the sugar at room temperatureâ written on them. When she saw Julian keeping silent, Annalise could not help but reach out and grab the corner of his shirt. She just wanted to be closer to him.
Julian took Annaliseâs hand, and their fingers interlocked. She raised her head slightly and said to him, âI like this surprise.â Annalise changed her thanks to this sentence. Julian accepted the milk tea at this point. He turned his head and kissed Annaliseâs slightly raised face. Annalise immediately blushed furiously.
There were other people around. âHere.â Julian handed the milk tea to Annalise. As soon as the two of them walked away, there were people discussing behind them. âSo handsome. To think thereâs such a handsome guy in this world.â
âThat girl is also so beautiful. Such good looks are simply too enviable. I wonder if sheâs married? With such good looks, this couple must get hitched at once. In the future, the baby she gives birth to will definitely be a peerless handsome guy or beauty, right?â Julian heard the discussion behind him, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He was looking forward to having a baby with Annie too!
Annalise also heard the discussion and felt a little embarrassed. To alleviate this emotion, she asked Julian, âArenât you going to get a cup?â âI donât drink this stuff,â Julian said. âTry it. Maybe you will like it?â Annalise said. âIâll try then.â Julian opened his mouth and waited for Annalise to feed him.
A spoon was needed to scoop up this matcha drink. Annalise had just scooped a spoonful and was about to stuff it into her mouth when she saw Julianâs open mouth. She was in a dilemma.

Julian smiled and reached out to grab Annalise Bartonâs arm. He leaned forward and gobbled that spoonful of matcha. He looked at her affectionately and said, âThe taste is okay.â âThen Iâll order you a cup,â Annalise said. âNo need. Letâs just share one cup.â Julian then got down to business again. âYour uncle has gone to the hotel. Letâs go over.â âOkay.â
After Kent left the hospital, he could not figure out how Julian and Annalise found him. Could it be that he accidentally revealed the hospital when he called Annalise? He didnât recall doing that! Sigh! Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. It was also possible that they found this hospital by sheer blind luck. However, staying in a hotel was different.
Kent didnât even look for a star-rated hotel. Instead, he found a very mundane hotel, the kind that cost just over 30 dollars per room. It was impossible for them to find him. With that thought in mind, Kent sat on the bed and swiped his phone. He didnât swipe for long before the doorbell rang. âWho is it?â he asked with displeasure.
âGood day, Sir. Your VIP fruit platter has arrived.â A female voice rang out. They served VIP fruit platters as well? Kent thought that although this hotel was a little shabby, the service. was not bad. He got up and opened the door.
The moment the door opened, he saw Julian and Annalise standing at the doorway. He felt as if he had seen a ghost. He immediately wanted to slam the door, but Julian blocked the door.
How could Kentâs strength compare to Julianâs? Kent was defeated in less than two seconds. Kentâs expression darkened. He reached out to clutch his chest and prepared to pretend again. Julian asked in a taunting manner, âUncle Kent, donât you want to know how we found you?â Kent looked at Julian in astonishment.
Julian said, âUncle Kent, you can continue to run. Letâs see if we can find you. Uncle Kent, do you think itâs meaningful to drag on like this? Do you think we canât do anything as long as you refuse to sign?â
âIâm not refusing to sign. Iâm just not feeling well.â Julian said calmly, âIs Uncle Kent feeling better now?
Are you going to sign or continue running? Or should I get someone to seal the Moonlight Group outright?â
