Chapter 370
Meanwhile, Hallet found himself in a difficult position these past few days. Not daring to visit the hospital, he kept in touch with Cynthia to discuss recent developments. Cynthia could not fully understand Queena’s sudden change of behavior, only speculating that something significant must have occurred that night to alter her perspective. She advised Hallet to give it a few days. Hesitant to confront Queena directly. Haller instead chose to discreetly follow her daily, fearing for her safety. The situation would take a turn only days later when Mila’s foot showed signs of healing. reducing Queena’s need to visit the hospital frequently. However, by then, she was facing a more significant issue–her period was now three days
overdue.
Ordinarily, her menstrual cycle was like clockwork, never deviating from its regular schedule. The recollection of what transpired that fateful night instantly filled her with dread. The thought of purchasing a pregnancy test crossed her mind, but the mere idea brought on a wave of embarrassment, Caught in a dilemma, she inwardly cursed Hallet
Meanwhile, Liam had received an invitation from Yannison intended as a gesture of reconciliation and to discuss future collaborations between their respective companies. Liam disliked Yannison’s demeanor toward Cynthia and was initially opposed to any further cooperation with MS Group. Luckily, Cynthia was quick to intervene Honey, please go. After all, they didn’t cross any serious lines, and MS Group is an excellent business partner. Cynthia didn’t want Sullivan Group to create more adversaries and saw this as an opportunity to mend fences between Hallet and Queena. Reluctantly swayed by Cynthia’s persuasive words. Liam could only nod in agreement, and Cynthia wasted no time in informing Hallet and Queena about the developments,
Hallet was eager, and Queena, burdened with worries about a potential pregnancy, was eager for a distraction. Thus, Yannison had arranged transportation for them, and soon they were headed to the entertainment manor owned by MS Group. The estate offered not only horseback riding archery, and golf but also boasted orchards in its expansive grounds, providing a variety of culinary and recreational activities-
Upon their arrival, Yannison was already at the entrance, awaiting them. After exchanging pleasantries. Yannison drove them around the estate in a sightseeing bus, showcasing the scenic beauty of the place. However, amidst the picturesque surroundings, two of the guests were clearly distracted. Queena feigned displeasure while Hallet, unable to engage her in conversation, eventually chose to remain silent, his attention solely on Queena.
During the tour, Yannison addressed Queena directly, offering an apology. “About the mishap that occurred last tirne, it was indeed a mistake on the part of our family, and I want to make amends. Although the situation hadn’t escalated into a disaster, there should still be compensation. Please, feel free to ask for anything”
Queena, her lips pouted, shot back, “What do you mean it didn’t escalate it was totally a disaster!” She was about to bring up the severity of the incident and how it had nearly resulted in grave consequences. However, considering her surroundings and the company present, she opted to withhold her full thoughts, instead expressing her displeasure succinctly, “I don’t want to talk to you,” before turning her gaze pointedly out the window, leaving Yannison momentarily stunned.
He had heard rumors that the incident had merely frightened her, but nothing really happened. Perhaps she holds a more traditional mindset, so the incident really troubled her, Yannison pondered. Trying to salvage the situation, he handed Queena his business card. “Regardless, I extend my apologies on behalf of the Merson family. Please let me know if you think of any form of compensation you might require in the future.”
The group then moved on to play golf before arriving at the racetrack. Yarnison, throwing a defiant glance at Liam, challenged him. Mr. Sullivan, why don’t we compete? The loser here will concede two points.”
Liam, with a slight smile, responded, “Mr. Merson, are you so sure you’d win? However, I prefer to spend this time with my wife rather than
compete.
Undeterred, Arnis said, “Two points is quite significant. Mr. Sullivan. Wouldn’t you want to compete for that and perhaps impress Mrs. Sullivan with your equestrian skills?“
Liam nonchalantly replied, “My wife has seen enough of my capabilities
Cynthia tugged at Liam’s sleeve and whispered, “How much is two points worth?
30 10 60 million dollars,” Liam answered casually. I’s nothing to me.”
Geez, the wealthy sure are oblivious! I don’t think all the money in my company adds up to that, Cynthia, stunned momentarily by Liam’s indifference, thought. After some thought, she proposed, “Why don’t you let me enter the race? If I win, the prize money will be mine. After all, Larson Group’s finances are balanced with no surplus funds, and any unforeseen expenses could jeopardize the company. Cynthia mused.
Liam looked at her, puzzled. “I can provide all the money you might need; you don’t have to risk yourself in a horse race”
your furd
Cynthia assured him confidently, “I’m quite skilled at horseback riding. Don’t worry, I’m sure I can win. Besides, your money is earned by work and long hours. As your wife, I should help save where Lean. And if there’s an opportunity to win some ready money, why should we spend Our own unnecessarily?”
Liam recognized the determined gleam in Cynthia’s eyes and realized that Yannison had inwittingly challenged the wrong person. Cynthia was a gem, often surprising him with her abilities, Ultimately, it was Cynthia who represented Liam in the competition.
Yannison, upon hearing this, was visibly intrigued, underestimating Cynthia’s capabilities, believing she might not even be able to hold the reins properly. “Mrs. Sullivan, you’re in for a loss,” he boasted, adding mockingly, “To avoid any accusations of unfairness, I’ll give you a two–minute head start. And if I lose, I’ll add an additional point. But if you lose, the stakes remain the same. How about that
