    Chapter 41 What’s the Use of Apologies?


    I didn’t want to hear Ashley’s side of the story, I wanted to hear it directly from Walter.


    He looked at me, his handsome brows furrowed, “What do you want to ask?”


    Looking at him, I felt a lump in my throat, took a slight breath and asked, “Was it you who told my dad


    that Ashley is carrying your child? Are you guys nning to get married?”


    His brows furrowed slightly, his fair hands intertwined, his voice somewhat heavy, “I’m sorry, I didn’t


    anticipate this oue.”


    A sinking feeling hit me, the suppressed emotions surged up. Looking at him, I said word by word, “So,


    you admit it was you guys who upset my dad into the emergency room, right?”


    He looked at me, his gaze filled with regret and helplessness.


    “Thwack!” This was probably the first time I had hit him since I knew him. I couldn’t control the anger in


    my heart, ring at him with bloodshot eyes, my voice hoarse with rage. “Why? Why did you do this? If


    you’re not satisfied with me, you could have hit me! Why did you provoke a sick person? Walter, do you

    know? The doctor said he only had three months to live, just three months, and you all cruelly deprived


    him of that. Did his existence bother you?”


    The man in front of me remained silent. He didn’t argue back, didn’t fight back, he just let me question


    him. In response to my questioning, he simply said in a deep voice, “Sorry!”


    Sorry?

    I suddenlyughed, feeling incredibly bored for a moment. I staggered back a few steps, suppressing


    all my emotions. What was the point of such violent outbursts? My father was already gone. Even if I


    killed him, my father couldn’te back.


    Thinking of this, I didn’t say another word and turned to leave.


    “Where are you going?” His voice came from behind as he grabbed her


    wrist.


    I shook off his hand, looking up at the red light shining above the emergency room door, I couldn’t help


    but sneer, “Walter, trampling on others’ sincerity and trust, you are even more despicable than Ashley.”


    Yes, killing them would have been useless, and would have only brought me trouble. But I wouldn’t let


    my father’s death go unresolved like this.


    After leaving the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Iforted my mother and took her back to


    the Conner family.


    When I arrived at the Conner Group, Cory was pacing anxiously outside the conference room. Seeing


    me, he let out a slight sigh of relief and asked anxiously, “Have you arranged everything with your


    dad?”


    I nodded, several investors from Walling Street of Loredge had arrived in the conference room. There


    was no time to grieve over my father’s matter, I asked Cory to briefly tell me about Bright Media.


    He sighed, “The Bright Media project was initially acquired by the chairman who wanted to change his


    line of business. At the beginning, this project was quite considerable, almost monopolizing more than


    half of the River City market in the past two years. However, due to the rise of video and digital media


    recently, this project has started to


    25.71%


    decline. Last year, due to financial issues, a Series B financing was carried out, allowing Loredge’s


    investment bank to buy into Bright Media.”


    I nodded, opening my mouth to say, “The shareholders of the investment bank have alle over, has


    there been a problem?”


    He hesitated a bit, looking at me as if he didn’t know what to say for a


    moment.


    Seeing him like this, I said, “Cory, just say it. My dad is no longer here. I’ve never taken over this


    project before and I don’t understand the situation. If I go in there without knowing anything, I’m afraid it


    will only make things worse.”


    He nodded and began to speak, “Bright Media had made a project n during the B round of financing.


    The n promised that thepany would achieve a turnover of 100 million within a year after


    financing. Two yearster, Bright Media went public in Loredge, bing the fastest domestic


    Listening to him finish saying all this, my jaw almost dropped to the floor. I looked at him with furrowed


    brows and asked, “Were these promises on the proposal made by my father?”


    He hummed in agreement, sighing, “It wasn’t a verbal promise, but at contract signed in ck and


    white. Thepany valued this project highly at the time, and the Conner Group was indeed in urgent


    need of funds, so they had someone draw up this proposal, with the aim of attracting investors.”


    Of course, I knew that in the marketce, using high returns and promising prospects to attract


    investors was something that mostpanies would do.


    Taking a breath, I continued to ask Cory, “What would be the

    consequences if it’s notpleted?”


    Cory hesitated slightly and said, “If we can’tplete ording to the n, then we’ll implement the


    betting agreement, transferring ten percent of the shares of Bright Media and the Conner Group to


    several investors. These shareholders will have absolute say and decision- making power over the


    Conner Group and Bright Media. Of course, the position of the chairman will be revoked, and the top


    management will be arranged by these shareholders.”


    I was a bit stunned, incredulously looking at him and asking, “How much is the investment? Why would


    there be such an absurd agreement?”


    “Thirty million dors,” Cory began, helplessly. “At that time, the chairman thought that as long as he


    could raise the funds, he could keep the Conner Group going, so he had no choice but to agree to this,


    agreement.”
