Chapter 929


    Chapter 929


    In the altar room, Romello ced the paddle back into its long velvet box.


    The thought of Sheena manipting Gabrielle to take Phoebe away made his gaze even more ominous.


    The next day at E&S Haven, Howard had not slept all night, sitting by Phoebe’s bedside.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    The doctor had examined her, finding her extremely weak. Even though it took two sedatives to calm her madness, they also


    kept her asleep all night.


    Her wrist wounds had also been treated and bandaged by Howard.


    He looked at her pale and exhausted sleeping face, holding her hand tightly in his.


    Convincing her to reim her position as the Nicholls family heiress seemed like the biggest mistake of his life, and it seemed


    nothing could make up for the harm Phoebe had suffered in the Nicholls family.


    When she woke up, no matter how she chose to punish him, he would ept it..


    Howard’s eyes were red, and his heart ached, silently weeping.


    The whole room felt suffocated with despair.


    Suddenly, a phone call interrupted his extreme sadness.


    It was Wayne.


    The moment the call connected, Wayne quickly tried to please him.


    “Mr. Howard, I’ve thought it through. I’m willing to break my engagement with Phoebe. But | might need a few days to find a


    suitable excuse to tell Mr. Romello. Can you help me handle the negative press online for the Santos family in the meantime?”


    Howard’s expression darkened.


    “You haven''t sorted out this matter, yet you want me to clean up the mess for the Santos family online? Wayne, do you think I’m


    a fool?”


    “No, Mr. Howard, you’ve misunderstood. | just...”


    Howard did not want to hear his exnation, issuing a final ultimatum.


    “By noon today, | want to hear that the engagement arrangement between the Santos

    and Nicholls families has been canceled. If you can’t get it done and keep stalling, I''ll


    have Nana cancel all cooperation with the Santos Group. Do you want to see the Santos. Group dere bankruptcy within a few


    days?”


    If the Lawson Group took the lead in isting the Santos Group, otherpanies would surely follow suit and kick the Santos


    Group while they were down.


    Without cooperation, the Santos Group’s businesses in the hospitality industry would suffer, and they would not be able to hold


    on for more than a few days.


    In truth, Howard felt no guilt in threatening Wayne this way.


    In his forties, Wayne was a middle-aged man notorious for his womanizing ways. He had been widowed several times, each


    time iming illness as the cause of death, but the


    actual reason was unknown, hidden very well.


    Clearly, Wayne had some undisclosed quirks.


    For such a jerk to have his sights on Phoebe, causing the Santos Group to lose hundreds of millions, Howard was already


    showing mercy.


    “Mr. Howard! Mr. Howard...”


    Wayne wanted to say something more, but Howard decisively ended the call and blocked his contact, unwilling to waste another


    word.


    His threat was proven to be very effective.


    Wayne could not get through to Howard anymore, realizing he had been blocked, which in turn proved to him how furious


    Howard was over this matter.


    He immediately called Romello

    He had the butler escort Wayne to the living room to wait.


    Yet, this waitsted for an hour.


    Wayne was on pins and needles, sweating profusely from nerves. He kept checking the time on his watch, realizing it was


    almost 11 a.m., and Romello still had note to see


    him.


    If he kept waiting like this without any assurance, and if the Lawson Group made a move, he would be in big trouble.


    “Excuse me, could you please remind Mr. Romello again? I really have an urgent matter to discuss with him!”
