ndrick was momentarily stunned before finally recovering from the shock, and then looked at te with great relief.
> matter the reason for Kate’s sudden awakening, as long as she was awake, it was a positive :velopment.
ut Hendrick, are Simon and Ruth also coming tonight?”
bserving Hendrick’s relieved expression, Kate felt a pang of sadness, but still brought up the
ain issue.
When Kate mentioned Simon and Ruth, Hendrick’s expression shifted slightly, and then he azed at Kate intently, furrowing his brow and said, “Why are you inquiring about them? Are you lanning to meet Simon? If Mr. Davison finds out, you
Hendrick.”
Kate gently interjected Hendrick’s words, her expression resolute. “I do intend to meet Simon, but not for a romantic encounter. Simon has been covertly transferring the assets of Lowe Group.”
Upon hearing these words, Hendrick’s pupils suddenly contracted. He gazed deeply at Kate and his tone became grave. “When did you discover this?”
Summer hesitated for a moment, then felt a bitter pang in her heart. Hendrick now controlled the entire Lowe Group. Of course he was aware of Simon’s schemes. However, even if he was aware, what could he do? Simon used Kate as a shield, thwarting numerous investigations, and each time assets were transferred… it was with Kate’s authorization.
In her previous life, the Lowe Group was gradually infiltrated and depleted by Simon and his cohorts, ultimately drained. And utilizing her as bait, they systematically dismantled her parents. and brothers one by one
These agonizing memories flooded her mind, and Summer took a deep breath, articulating to Hendrick, “Hendrick, I was naive in the past. But moving forward, I will not allow Simon to siphon off a single cent. Whatever he took from me, I will make him give them back!”
Hendrick gazed at Summer with relief, reaching out to tousle her hair and speaking in a gentler tone, “Kate, you need not involve yourself in company affairs. Your happiness is what matters
most.
“Seeing you enter with Mr. Eric today, I was overjoyed. Establishing a good relationship with Mr. Eric is the best outcome for you.”
Perhaps due to the alcohol, Hendrick’s eyes were slightly reddened at the corners, and he spoke more openly than usual.
Kate felt a pang of pain surge in her heart. Her kind brother in her pervious life was unwittingly manipulated and embroiled in a scandalous expose. Consequently, the Lowe Group’s stock price.
plummeted. Simon and Ruth seized the opportunity to aggressively purchase the Lowe Group’s stocks, while also deceiving her into signing documents that transferred away a majority of the
assets.
Recalling the girl in a silver evening dress standing beside Hendrick when she arrived, Kate’s expression turned icy. She casually inquired, “Hendrick, I noticed a girl in a silver evening gown. next to you earlier. Is she your companion?”
Hendrick nodded and casually responded, “Yes, she is my secretary, Anna. She possesses strong. business acumen and is quite astute. She actually reminds me a bit of you.”
Upon hearing Hendrick’s words, Kate’s heart was filled with icy fury.
Recalling Anna’s competent and haughty demeanor earlier, along with the subtle disdain in her gaze towards her, Kate’s gaze grew even colder.
It was at this gathering that Anna set a trap for Hendrick, leading him unknowingly into a relationship with her, and then tearfully accusing him without explanation, leading others to believe that Hendrick had coerced her. This caused the Lowe Group’s stock price to plummet, compelling Hendrick to marry her to quell the turmoil.
However, Anna, who appeared to have a clean background, had actually been colluding with Ruth and others for a long time, with the intention of taking over the Lowe Group’s assets. Her ultimate goal was to also destroy Hendrick, the last resort.
Kate glanced at Hendrick with a touch of hesitation in her eyes, but still spoke earnestly,
“Hendrick, try to drink less at the banquet, and also… watch out for Anna.”
