Chapter 207 Can’t Sign the Contract
It was not until the evening that Joanna returned home.
Upon seeing her mother, Hellen immediately complained, “Mom, Everet didn’t return last night; I reckon he won’t return today either.”
Joanna smiled and said very open-mindedly, “It seems I should visit the Lewis family someday.”
Hellen was speechless.
Joanna sat on the sofa and said, “Darcy is a good girl. The betrothal gifts must be given.”
Hellen fell silent. “Mom, aren’t you thinking too far ahead?”
After eating dinner with Joanna, Hellen returned to her room.
Whenever Hellen thought of Hans recently, she would feel upset, and some other emotions would be mixed.
She decided to focus two days on urging Orpheus to transfer the medical equipment, making Orpheus miserable.
On Wednesday morning, Hellen woke up early.
Today was the day of the contract signing with Wilson. Hellen found a few large-size formal wears in the wardrobe.
Now that she was pregnant, she could cover herself up in large-size clothes.
After cleaning everything up, Hellen went downstairs and found that Everet was already sitting on the sofa.
“Everet, are you willing to go home?” Hellen glanced at Everet.
Everet’s high-spirited and vigorous posture was quite different from his lousy situation with dark circles days ago.
Everet was in a good mood. “What? I haven’t been at home for three days. Do you miss me?”
Hellen’s lips twitched. “Have you read the message I sent you and the proposal to distribute the profits between the Grant Group and us.”
Everet raised a hand with a smile. “I’m reading them. Mike just printed them out. They’re still warm.”
“You haven’t even had time to look at your phone these two days?” Hellen tutted in disgust.
Joanna came out of the restaurant. “Come and have breakfast.”
The three of them sat at the dining table. Everet ate while chatting with Hellen.
“As for Moreton, our family hasn’t done much. Hans is willing to share the same profits with us. I think he has ulterior motives.”
Hellen thought for a moment. “We didn’t contribute much in the early stages, but we can make up for it later and not let the Grant Group suffer too much. In any case, we definitely can’t lose this cooperation.”
Everet smiled helplessly and said, “You took over the project of rebuilding the Weststadt District while I was injured. This time, you set your eyes on Empire Y’s diamond mine. I can’t win against you anyway.”
Despite what she said, Everet understood.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
The Jovano Group would benefit the most in the next five years from these two projects.
Although the profit in the Weststadt District was not high, it could be listed in the contribution of the Jovano Group, and the reputation could be regarded as profit.
As for Empire Y’s diamond mine, once acquired, they would control more than half of the domestic jewelry market.
Everet asked, “Do you want me to go with you?”
Hellen smiled and said, “It’s all right. It’s just signing a contract. The rules and regulations that the Grant Group have been finalized. I’ve also read them. There’s no problem.”
After eating, Hellen walked outside.
Hellen drove the car and prepared to go to the Ronal Manor.
The Jovano mansion was not close to the Ronal Manor. It would take more than an hour to drive there.
After Hellen drove the car away from the Jovano mansion, her phone rang.
Hellen pulled over and looked at it. It was a call from Hans.
At this time, it was time for Hans to go to the Ronal Manor.
Hellen had a bad feeling and answered it.
On the other end, Hans said indifferently, “Hellen, we can’t sign the contract today. Where are you now?”
“I just left.” Hellen was stunned. “Did something happen?”
Hans’s voice sounded, “The only son of Duke Wilson and his wife had a car accident at five in the morning and was not rescued! He just passed away!”
Hellen’s mind went blank.
When Amy mentioned her son, her eyes flashed with pride.
“Where are they now?”
“They’re both in the hospital. Although we can’t sign the contract, you still have to come over. After all, we’re partners.”
Hellen assented. She glanced at her red bag and said, “I’ll go home and change my clothes.”
When she arrived at the living room, she saw Everet stand up with a stern expression. “Hellen, news just came-”
“I know.” Hellen walked upstairs.
For a moment, Hellen no longer had any thoughts of cooperating. All she wanted to do was go visit Amy as soon as possible.
After changing into black clothes, Hellen drove to the hospital.
Moreton was the Duke of Empire Y and a relative of the royal family.
All media in Tempe City were shocked. The news spread all over the Internet in less than half an hour!
When Hellen arrived at the hospital, the building had been surrounded by Moreton’s bodyguards, and the media was forbidden from entering.
Hans was already waiting in the encirclement. When he saw Hellen, he immediately strode over!
Hellen said frantically, “How is Amy?”
Hans said profoundly, “She cried and fainted once.”
The world recognized the relationship between Duke Wilson and his wife as sweet.
Their child was well-educated. Moreover, Wilson and his wife were already old. It was not easy for them to have another child.
The dead one was supposed to be the next Duke of Empire Y.
Frowning, Hellen followed Hans through the corridor and into the morgue.
As soon as Hellen entered, he saw Moreton quietly standing in front of a pushing bed, his massive frame hunching over.
Wilson was originally a handsome middle-aged man, but he seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and his eyes were full of darkness.
Hellen turned to look. Amy wasn’t here.
Moreton noticed the person who came in and said in a hoarse voice, “When Amy woke up, she wanted to see our son. After that, she fainted again.”
Amy was so heartbroken that she wanted to die with her son.
Hellen’s gaze fell on that pushing bed. Even though it was covered by a white cloth, that abnormal height and the dents made her realize something.
Along the way, she also listened to the news in the car.
Payson was hit by a cement tanker. At that time, he was driving a super sports car.
The sports car collided with the cement tanker. One could imagine what would happen to the people in the car.
Hellen slowly walked forward and walked to the front of the bed. She looked up with sadness and respect. “Duke Wilson, can I see him?”
Wilson looked at Hellen, his eyes lifeless.
“It’s up to you. Don’t be frightened by my son. He’s such a good boy. Look at him now…”
Moreton could not continue.
Moreton leaned against the wall and bent down little by little.
When Hellen’s hand touched a corner of the white sheet, Hans said from the side, “Hellen.”
Hellen’s face was expressionless, but her voice was very gentle. “It’s fine.”
Opening the white sheet, Hellen gave it a glance, then closed her eyes.
