A dayter, two news swept the whole Emerdale like windstorms, and sparked vigorous debate among people here ranging from magnates from all walks of life to ordinary citizens.
The first thing was that a multitude ofVesper Corporation’s employees resigned from thepany, including thepany’s president Peter, who was trapped in the maelstrom of heated controversy of 316 Event. Also, the wholepany was purchased by someone who remained mysterious.
The second thing was thatJulton Pharmaceutnounced its bankruptcy, and that it’s president Thomas, whomittedattemptedmurder and nearly throttled a female passerby to death,was certified as insane.
These two things, as dramatic as rocks thrown into water, arousedcontroversy impossible to settle. The indigenous television stations and newspaper offices were all making headlines on the matter, and some of them had even excavated many of thepany’s scandals hidden for many years, which proved the innocence of the Ford family.
Besides, the Lawson family was also implicated in the affairs, since, after all, Peterwas one of the participants of 316 Event, threatening those poisoned patients and their rtives to move out of the city.
In the face of that, Kate, the president ofthe Lawson Group made no positive response, and only let her assistant Christo tell those journalists that what Peterhad done did not represent the standpoint of the Lawson family, and he himself had gone abroad for a trip recently.
As a result, those media had no better option but to concede and ept the saying.
In fact, somehow, the saying seemed to mean more than it seemed to be – it could be considered as an allusion to that Peterwas going to be expelled from the family. Besides, no one would ever truly believe that Peterhad gone abroad for a trip.
The Third Mental Hospitalwas the only psychiatric hospital in Emerdale, and, at the same time, the hospital with the highest mortality.
Even though the ce seemed nothing special, there were numerous unstable madmen inside. Therefore, the whole ce was highly secured, and even a single fly could hardly make its way in.
Inside the quiet ward, there was a slim man watching television with concentration – the news anchor was reporting the bankruptcy ofJulton Pharmaceutd the insanity of Thomas.
With the corner of his mouth lifted, the man seemed in a good mood.
“It’s lunchtime, No. 87.” Said the guards outdoor in a nonchnt tone.
“OK.” Said the man, turning off the television and walking out of the ward naturally. Dressed in a white suit with a nice-looking face, he was somehow different from his counterparts here and looked as if a rich man from somewhere else.
His manner was quiet and very controlled, and he would never skimp on his smile and gratitude in the face of those employees who offered him food.
He looked spiritually radiant, and found himself a peaceful corner to sit down, eating food gently with knife and fork in his hands.
Thosepsychopaths around nced at him with rather fearful eyes andgaveway to him.
At this moment, the gate of the hospital was opened, which meant that a new patient had arrived.
Looking towards the gateway, everybody would like to catch a glimpse of the face of their new peer.
The man looked up as well, and was dumbfounded for a second when he saw the face of the new one. Then, he grinned exaggeratedly.
Thomas, the newly arrived patient, turned into a panic when he saw the man.
Putting down the knife and fork, the man came up to the front of Thomaswith a delightful smile, “Now, you’re here to be my apany, father.”
……
What urred to Vesper CorporationandJulton Pharmaceutical’s president had also been heard by the Fords.
“Have you heard of it, mom? The president of Vesper Corporation has transferred his right!” Caroline looked at the television with incredible eyes, and sighed.
Reba, with an astonished look on her face, said, “Wow, such a news. I have never expected such a thing to happen when we headed back tothe Ford family.”
For these two days, during that Vesper Corporationwasunder the impact of public voice, Reba, CarolineandPatriciahad not been working in thepany. Instead,they had spent the days atthe Ford family.From N?velDrama.Org.
“I’m wondering who is the new president of thepany, since it will cost a whole lot of money to purchase it.”Sighed Reba. With a pause, she casted a glimpse at William and muttered, “Others men are working hard out there to purchase Vesper Corporation, while you are staying at home and doing nothing! It is sarcastic that although you are the one who established Vesper Corporation, you can do nothing but just stand and watch it fall into others’ hands!”
In a tone of sarcasm, she had obviously forgotten that she was the one who suggested him to sale thepany toPeter.
At this moment, Leostepped into the Ford family, and said to William, “Come on, dad. I’m taking you to a ce.”
“Where?” Williamasked in amaze.
“You will know when we get there.” Leo dragged William’shandand said.
With an enigmatical smile,Rebughed, “I wouldn’t go if I were you.”
Instead of getting mad. Leo remained silent and took Williamout of the house.
“Now, we shall leave things about Vesper Corporation behind and focus on something more important.”Patriciasaid, as if she was reminded of something.
Hearing that, Reba and Carolinewerecaught in silence.
The reason why they headed back tothe Ford familywas to confer about two things.
The first thing was about the constructional n of Emerdale’s riverbank. The leading force of the n was the Stewart family, one of thefour prestigious families, which was responsible for the restructuring of the upstream area of the EmerdaleRiver. For the constructional projects of the downstream area, the man in charge still remained unknown.
Sincethe Ford familywas subordinated to the Stewart family and there was possibility for them to profit from the n, it was necessary forthe Ford familyto spare some time to pay a visit to the Stewart family.
The second thing was the eighty years old birthday party ofMr. Nicholson. All members of thethe Ford familyhad sent their best wishes to him. The two families had previously fixed Caroline up with Raymond, but Raymondwas already dead.
Currently,the Nicholsonstill didn’t know anything about the death of Raymond, but the truth could never be concealed forever.
“To deal withthe Nicholson, we shall let that good-for-nothing y the role of scapegoat.”Rebasaid with a sullenlook on her face, and then continued, “Theflourishing cooperation betweenthe Ford familyandthe Nicholsonshall never be messed up by Leo!”
“Indeed. ”Samuelnodded in agreement, and continued, “But it would be a challenge for us to tellthe Nicholsonabout that.”
Mr. Nicholsonwould definitely burst into rage if he knew the death of his most beloved grandson, and, regardless of the cost, he would take any measure to revenge.
“We shall show our sincerity tothe Nicholsonif the thing can no longer be covered up.”Patriciasaid, “IfMr. Nicholsonis about to killhim, there is no way for us to ever hesitate!”
“Aye!”
“I agree.”
Soon, they reached consensus with each other.
Casting a glimpse at the clock, Carolineand Reba stood up suddenly and said, “We are heading back to thepany. Vesper Corporation has now been purchased by someone we don’t know, and the personnel structure will change ordingly as a result. We shall check who the new boss exactly is.”
Saying so, they then drove to the International Commerce Center, where Leoand William were currently.
Looking at people passing by inside the building, William asked with bewilderment, “Why did you bring me here,Leon?”
With a mysterious smile on his face, Leoanswered, “Juste and see.”
Saying so, he then pushed the elevator button.
As the elevator ascended, instead of the topfloor, the two were stopped at the intermediate floor.
At the moment when the door opened, what in front of them was a line of words vigorous in calligraphy.
Vesper Corporation.
