Chapter 728

Caroline stretched out her hand and said through her teeth, “Don’t call them…”

Cheryl said worriedly, “But Caroline-”

Caroline slowly sat up and said weakly, “I’m fine. Go, get me a glass of water.”

Cheryl stood up uneasily and poured Caroline a glass of warm water. After drinking the water, Caroline finally recovered from her shock slightly.

However, Cheryl was still worried about her. “Caroline, I’d better take you to the hospital.”

Caroline closed her eyes and leaned against her chair. “No, I’m fine. You can’t tell anyone what happened here, especially Kirk.”

Cheryl frowned in distress and sat next to Caroline. “Caroline …”

“I’m really fine.” Caroline opened her eyes and looked at Cheryl.

When she had seen the netizens‘ accusations, she had remembered the day Jude had died. They were right; Jude had died for her.

But she didn’t want to fulfill his final wish. She wanted to live her life with the one she loved. She was really selfish.

“Caroline …” Seeing how absent–minded Caroline was, Cheryl nudged her.

Only then did Caroline return to her senses. After taking a deep breath, she asked, “Cheryl, what were you about to say when you came in?”

“Oh!” Cheryl remembered her reason for coming here.

“The bank’s official account posted an announcement, saying that they will announce who will acquire Collins Group this Friday.”

“This Friday?” Caroline took the tablet Cheryl handed over.

“Weren’t they doing it next month?”

“I’m not sure either. Perhaps there’s a lot of attention on this, so the bank wanted to take this chance to restructure Collins Group as soon as possible.”

Caroline thought about it. The possibility of that was quite high. After all, Collins Group’s business had been stagnant for a long time. The bank definitely hoped to take action as soon as possible.

“Caroline…” Cheryl looked at Caroline.

“Things don’t look good for us right now.”

Although Cheryl hoped that Caroline would win, it seemed unlikely at this point. Unless Caroline asked SY Group’s president to come forward, no one else could acquire Collins Group.

Meanwhile, in the VIP room of a bank, Kirk glanced at Mr. Donovan, who was standing across from him.

“Did you throw away Caroline’s application?” he asked slowly, but every syllable seemed to make Mr.

Donovan’s heart tremble.

Mr. Donovan shivered in fear and secretly glanced at Charles, who stood behind Kirk.

He had just discovered that the man before him was SY Group’s president. And based on the information in Caroline’s application, he was also the man who had endorsed her.

Charles ignored Mr. Donovan’s pleading look. He couldn’t believe what this banker had done. Even if the applicant wasn’t Caroline, he couldn’t just throw away someone’s application.

Seeing no one would help him, Mr. Donovan bit the bullet and answered, “Yes.”

Then, a soft chuckle sounded in the room, scaring Mr. Donovan so much that he felt his legs turn to jelly.
