Chapter 86

Granted that Olivia was pretty dumb, she could know at this point that she was not welcomed here.

Noticing Dennis’ darkened face, Marcus looked at Olivia, “Olivia, let’s go. I’ll drive you home!”

“No!” Eyes reddened, Olivia looked at Dennis and shouted, “Why should I leave?” Pointing at me, she yelled, “What is so good about her? A bastard from nowhere! If it weren’t for Grandpa George to take her in, she wouldn’t...”

“Olivia!” Dennis spoke out furiously, “Go home with Marcus!”

“No!” Olivia shrieked and sounded stubborn, “Dennis, are you mad at me for this car accident? Are you blaming for quarreling with you and making you angry while driving?”

She then started sobbing, “Dennis, I know I’m wrong. I’m sorry. Don’t be mad at me. I promise that I would never do this ever again. I will listen to you about everything. Please don’t let me go!”

When it came to love, no one can stick to his/her bottom line. Olivia had already become both pathetic and pitiful in this love battle as she had compromised too many times.

I was not a saint and hardly a good person. I just didn’t want to see one being so inferior, so I ended up saying nothing and just left the room silently.

Then I straight went to the company.

Probably it was because of the talk earlier, Jackie asked for a leave, so I was quite busy.

The project with HY Technology had initiated for a while, but I let Jackie to follow it up and hadn’t looked into it myself.

Feeling uncertain, I went to the finance department and looked over HY’s situation myself.

Just as expected, the files that I surveyed myself was slightly different than the ones that Jackie gave me.

After musing, I decided to go to the HY’s market department and examined it myself.

There was nothing seriously wrong with HY’s market, but its intermediary was quite a handful.

As Marcus was the one who was responsible for this project before, people here were quite perfunctory.

I was quite annoyed and as I was leaving HY, I bumped into AC’s president, Michael.

He was quite surprised to see me here and seeing that I was in quite a hurry, he smiled, “What are you hurrying for, director Clara?”

“Diving into the market!” I answered and landed my eyes on the girl next to him.

Michael was in his forties and the girl who looked 25 or 26 at most was definitely not his wife.

I grinned, “Are you going to shopping, President Michael?”

He glanced at the girl and cracked a smiled, “Are you coming with me?”

“Nah, I have to be somewhere!” Then I just left after saying goodbye.

“Who is she, president Michael?” The girl asked in a cute voice.

“The wife of president George of the George Group, Clara.”

“How blessed! I heard that president George is quite young and promising...”

The voice then faded away. I wasn’t listening to their conversation carefully, but it seemed to me that their relationship wasn’t definitely as pure as it may seem to be.

HY had several subsidiaries in the Newton Town, so I grew tired after visiting some of them and just picked a few distribution points that seemed dubious in the paper.

I was shocked when I arrived at the last point in the southern area.

Though southern area was in the outskirts, it was quite bustling and was just a bit far from the downtown.

Moreover, I’d reviewed the bidding offer of this place’s site selection and renovation. The Group’s invested a huge amount of money and this place shouldn’t be so shabby.

A normal electronics factory wouldn’t have just one shabby building at the very least. Noticing me, a grandpa guarding the factory approached, “This place has been closed. No entry!”

Closed?

I froze and knitted my eyebrows, “Why is it closed? How long has it been?

This grandpa didn’t know me and was quite bored as he had been alone for a long time, “About half a year. There was an accident before and took one man’s life. It drew a lot of attention from the society. The manager here was afraid that the whole incident might escalate, so he just shut the whole factory down.”

“When did this happen?”

“At the end of last year!” The grandpa then looked at me, “Aren’t you around here? That Mr. Thomas also said that this place wasn’t generating any profit anyway, so he just hit the pause button.”

Mr. Thomas?

Marcus?

He was the one who was overseeing this project before, but he had never reported this accident the company. But the odd thing was that the company was having profits recently, and though the figure wasn’t a lot, how did he manage to feed the money?

After asking several questions more, I didn’t go in as it was prohibited and went to the company to look through all the accounting and materials of southern area over this half of year.

I really wondered why didn’t Marcus report this matter and choose to hide it.

Moreover, where did the money funding southern area come from?

How can it have all these profits if it wasn’t even functioning properly?

As there were too many problems to figure out, I wasn’t able to get to the bottom of that in such a short time and decided to ask Dennis when he went back to the company.

It was already afternoon when I got everything down and didn’t really want to go to the hospital as Olivia must be there.

I was really not in the mood of going back to the mansion myself.

So I took out of my phone and was about to call Diana.

I was taken aback when I saw about fifty unanswered calls from Dennis.

What happened?

After pondering for a while, I called his back and the call immediately got through.

“Where are you?” he asked coldly and was clearly gloomy.

I organized my desk and replied, “I’m in the company? Do you need something?”

“Clara!” Annoyed by my attitude, he said angrily, “Your husband is in the hospital now. Aren’t you supposed to take care of me?”

“Isn’t Miss Pearson there?” I grabbed my purse and was about to leave the office.

“She is not my wife!”

I nodded and replied, “Well, she could also look after you as your lover.”

This was coming from my heart. I knew he was fuming, but I didn’t really care.

He got silent for a while and seemed to be suppressing his anger, “Clara, are you jealous?”

I laughed and agreed, “Yeah, I am.”

He then giggled lowly and continued, “Come and have dinner with me. I got your favorite sweet and sour fish here.”

“No, I got an appointment tonight.” I planned to walk around with Diana.

“With who?”

I was agitated, “Do you have anything else to say? I got to go.”

“Half an hour! If you don’t show up here, I will pick you up myself!” he sounded serious with a bit of threatening.

“As you please, President George.”

My temples then stared aching.

After hanging up the phone, I got on the car and called Diana, but she didn’t answer.

I waited for a while and still, the phone didn’t get through.

But then I got a call from an unknown number.

After hesitating for a bit, I answered, “Hi!”

Please Love Me, Mr. George Chapter 85 We Are A Couple “Clara, are you okay these days?”

I froze.

It was Leo!
