GoodReadDorothy felt as if she were still in a daze.
Verity Holdings Limited, such a massive corporation, had gone bankrupt Just like that? That seemed preposterous.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Did you do this, Lane?" Lane stiffened momentarily before nodding. "Yes, | did. They dared to mess with you. How could | possibly stand for it?" "There's no need for such extreme measures! A warning would have sufficed! The secondary processing of agricultural goods isn't just beneficial to our company; it would also help farmers. It's such a noble undertaking. Do you have any idea how many farmers were waiting for us to sign that contract?" Nowadays, there were fewer farmers, primarily because they couldn't earn much.
If secondary processing could be implemented, it could trigger a new wave and provide higher income for farmers.
Lane pursed his lips as he stood in front of her, looking like a child who had done something wrong. "I was only thinking about how they had bullied you. | wasn’t thinking about anything else." He wasn't the one who annihilated Verity Holdings Limited.
However, he couldn't admit that in front of Dorothy. He had to make Dorothy think it was his doing. After all, no woman disliked a man with power and influence. Regardless of who ruined Verity Holdings Limited, he had to claim the credit.
"So, what now? Is there any way to get Verity Holdings Limited back?" "Dorothy, you should worry more about your health right now! Leave the business matters to me. | promise you, I'll continue the secondary processing project. I'll find another company to partner with, okay?" "Really?" "Really." Lane wished he could swear to the heavens. "I won't let your hard work go to waste. Your efforts must bear fruit!" Dorothy took a deep breath.
Things were as they were, and she had no other means to salvage the situation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Alright then, Lane. Don't be so impulsive in the future. I'm just an employee at East Star Enterprises. | don't want any special treatment. My position as project director has already caused enough rumors in the company. You might be deaf to them in your high seat, but | can't ignore them." "Who's gossiping about you?! I'll take care of them!" "Don't interfere. | can handle it myself. | just wanted to say that you need to respect our boundaries. Don't let it become a burden for me." Lane was about to retort, but Dorothy raised her hand to interrupt him. "I'm a bit tired now and need some rest. You should go back to your work. Now that this partnership has fallen through, I'll return to East Star Enterprises with Emmett and Natalia as soon as possible.” She had more pressing matters to attend to after sending Lane off. She had to meet with the driver from Everglow City to probe if he had...
Dorothy ran her fingers through her hair in agitation.
It couldn't be! That driver seemed like an honest man. If he had any intentions towards her, he could have approached her in Everglow City, not in Havenbrook City.
She couldn't falsely accuse a good person.
Dorothy took out her phone and found her chat with the driver on WhatsApp.
[Hi, I really appreciate your help last night. | was wondering if you're free; I'd like to invite you for a meal to express my gratitude.] It took a while before she received a response.
[Sure, but you'll have to wait. I'm tied up at the moment.] [That's fine. Let me know when you're free.]
