Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 378

“Is Grandpa Smith talking about selling the shares to Mr. Alonso?” Cathleen was surprised, “The Chante Group’s stocks have fallen so badly recently, who would be willing to take over it?”

Grandpa Smith could not calm himself down anymore. He stood up abruptly, “Jessica, what is going on? Speak! Didn’t you tell me that it would not be a problem to sell the shares to Alonso with the two newly developed medicines?”

Jessica’s lips were trembling. She opened her mouth a few times but couldn’t spit a word out.

“What are the new medicines? Our Delia family started with the research and development of drugs so we will pay high attention to the trends of this industry. However, I also did not hear of anyone who developed any new medicines!” Cathleen said.

Grandpa Smith’s face turned pale in an instant, “You … are you telling the truth?”

“Of course. Grandpa Smith, you guys have been cheated by someone, is it?” Cathleen asked.

Grandpa Smith pressed on his chest with his hands. He was panting heavily and gritting his teeth, “Jessica!”

He grabbed everything he could take around him and threw all those things to Jessica.

Jessica’s head was smashed. Her hands and body were injured too. But she didn’t move at all.

She never thought that she would be schemed by a fool like Greyson. Not only that, she actually went into his trap with great pleasure!

He should just smash her and it was better to smash her to death so she would not need to force herself to accept the reality!

Grandpa Smith had gone insane and his eyes had even become red, “You had only applied seven days for the loan payment as you wanted to let Alonso believe your bullshit! The due date was within only seven days! It was the day after tomorrow but these shares have lost their price in our hands, what do you think now?”

“Jessica! You’ve really ruined the Smith family this time! Do you know how much we have to pay for it?”

“Get lost! You get out from … from here …”

Bang!

Grandpa Smith was falling down.

It was in the Star Restaurant.

“The Smith family wants to stop the negative news about the Chante family from spreading. However, since we are blocking their way, how can they do it according to their wish? Hahahaha…The bitch must be regretting making so much negative news of our family now, right?”

“Maybe they are afraid that the price of the stock will fall even more if this goes on. Besides, the due date of the loan payment from the bank is around the corner. They are afraid that they don’t have the ability to pay it too. In the end, they convinced one of my old friends to buy the stocks at a low price!”

“The Smith Group can’t continue the past projects that are just grabbed by them after this incident. For now, they can’t afford to pay the huge amount of liquidated damages. They are now contacting us and begging us to take over those projects.”

“For this time, the Smith Group almost lost more than 2 billion dollars. Many shareholders went to the company and wanted an explanation from the Smith family!”

“Mr. Smith was so angry that he had a stroke. He is now staying in the ICU of the hospital. Even though he is already in such a condition, he still wanted to expel Jessica from the Smith family! Jessica has now been expelled. Danis and his father are now in charge to deal with the Smith Group’s troubles!”

“After we clarify the negative news tomorrow, we then tell the original story about Jessica’s plan on this matter. After that, I am sure that our share price of Chante Group will definitely rise. By that time, Mr. Smith must have a stroke again!”

Greyson was speaking happily. He was stating about the current situation of the Smith family continuously without resting for a second. Then, he took a glass of wine and finished drinking it. Only then, he felt less thirsty.

“Come on, let’s fill up! Fill it up! James, I really admire you this time! Let’s cheers as I want to thank you and Angela!”

Greyson filled up a glass of wine for James and then he also filled another glass up with wine for Angela.

“You don’t need to fill up wine for her.” James grabbed the wine bottle and put it on the table. After that, he poured some juice for Angela.

Greyson muttered, “She can drink even more than me, one glass of wine is really nothing to her. I even didn’t miss drinking by the time I was hospitalized due to a car accident.”

“You’re thick-skinned, how can you compare yourself with her?” James looked up and glanced at him.

Greyson was speechless.

‘Why did he attack me by words?’

“You're pregnant so you should reduce eating cold food.” Seeing Angela was taking shrimp, James used his chopsticks to grab her chopsticks. Then, he put the shrimp back and took some vegetables for her.

Angela used her chopsticks to stab at the vegetables a few times. She really had no appetite so she went to get the cola chicken wings instead.

“It’s too oily.” James picked up the cola chicken wings from her plate and placed them on his own plate. Then, he took some braised pork ribs for her.

Angela was speechless.

Greyson who sat next to them thought that he was too over, “James, I think you are a man. Why are you so garrulous? Seafood and chicken wings are my sister’s favourite food. How come you don’t let her eat any of them?”

When he was speaking, he stood up suddenly and changed the plate of vegetables in front of Angela with the plate of cola chicken wings.

“Don’t eat cold food but it is fine to eat cola chicken wings, take it!”

James glanced at the cola chicken wings and looked at Greyson, “Greyson, the negative news of the Chante Group has not been clarified so the plan is not completed yet successfully. For example, Jessica was an unpredictable accident of the last step of our plan.”

“Ah?!” Greyson was stunned. Then, he switched back the position of the two plates, “Angela, James is right. He also did that for your sake. You should take lesser such food now. I will buy any food for you as much as you want after you give birth your baby.”

He was really happy on that day. Besides, since he had drunk some wine, he spoke more than usual, “A few days ago, the Smith family was celebrating their success of scheming us here. For now, we are celebrating the Smith family that had gone into our trap! It’s true that luck will turn!”

Luna behaved totally different from him. She spoke nothing. Moreover, it seemed that her mood was a bit low.

When she almost finished eating, she asked Angela, “I’ve drunk a little too much. I am going to the toilet, are you going?”

Angela knew that she probably wanted to tell her something about James. She frowned slightly. Then, she nodded and agreed to her suggestion under James’s strongly opposed gaze.

“I am just about finish eating. I’ll wait for you in front of the toilet. After that, we can go back together.” James stood up and took his suit jacket from the hanger.

Luna’s eyes were flashing and her face was showing some difficulty.

Angela was worried that her sister-in-law would not say anything if James went over. Thus, she said, “It’s hard to have such a happy matter. Therefore, I think you should stay here and drink more with Greyson.”

She stood on tiptoe. She had his face with her two hands and kissed his lips, “I’ll come back soon.”

James was looking into her eyes and found that she was begging him to agree to it. Thus, he could only stop saying his words, “Then you must come back quickly.”

“Alright.”

“Oh my god, can you two not behave like that? She is just going to the toilet and you guys will only have to be apart for a while, why are you guys behaving like being apart forever?” Greyson really couldn’t bear to see that scene.

It was really corny.

“Angela, let’s go?” Luna was asking that because she was afraid that Angela or James would regret it.

Angela was afraid that Luna would think too much so she took the initiative and went to hold her arm like the previous moment, “Let’s go, Luna.”

The toilet was located on the right side after going out from the door.

However, just as Angela was going to turn right, Luna tugged her arm, “It’s not a good idea to have a talk in the toilet. The staircase there is not so noisy so let’s go there.”
