Chapter 58


    Chapter 58 He Feared I Would Miss You


    The massive Conner Group, once its funding was cut off, faced the risk of having to halt all operations.


    The Conner Group waspletely put in a passive position.


    Thinking of this, I looked at Alexander and said, “The Conner Group now, might be beyond redemption,


    you…”


    “When will my appointment be announced?” Alexander spoke, his dark eyes coldly looking at me. He


    was handsome, and whenever he looked at others, he always gave off a sense of disdain.


    Upon hearing his words, I was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously asking, “You’ve decided to


    stay?”


    He frowned, a look of displeasure on his face, “What? After dragging me around the market to help


    you, you’re ready to discard me? Tabatha, you’re treating me like a rag, aren’t you?”


    I quickly shook my head, “Of course not, alright, I will immediately have your uncle announce your


    appointment as the CEO of the Conner Group.”


    Before, I didn’t understand Alexander’s situation. I thought that without rifying the whereabouts of


    those thirty million dors, those shareholders would disagree with him serving as the president.


    But upon hearing Walter’s evaluation of him, I deliberately looked up Alexander’s information and found


    out that he was indeed a genius, and he was recognized as an investment genius among the geniuses


    on Walling Street, which is full of geniuses. Such a talent joining the Conner Group was something the


    old shareholders could only dream of, so naturally, they wouldn’t say much.

    Hearing my words, Alexander finally seemed satisfied. He nced past me towards Walter, who was


    following me out of the car, and frowned, “Your man is indeed quite handsome, I quite like him.”


    I…


    I suppressed the urge to roll my eyes, unconsciously looking down at him. My lips twitched as I said,


    “What a pity, such a handsome young man.”


    Seeing my gaze wander where it shouldn’t, he clicked his tongue, subconsciously shielding his lower


    body. He raised his hand and harshly knocked on my forehead, saying, “Get rid of all that nonsense in


    your head, I like women, I’m straight.”


    I was hit by him so hard that it hurt. I couldn’t help but cover my forehead, looking at him and saying,


    “And you just keep on praising another man for being handsome?”


    He looked at me with a face full of disdain, speechless, “You, Miss Conner, who has received higher


    education, are you brainwashed? You allow women to appreciate beautiful women, but not men to


    appreciate men? What’s wrong withplimenting something pleasing” to the eye?”


    This statement did make sense for a moment.


    I was speechless and couldn’t refute. Seeing Walter had alreadye to our side, I couldn’t help but


    look at Alexander and said, “What’s so good to look at? If you like to look at beautiful things, you can


    just look in the mirror when you go home every day. That’s enough to feast your eyes.”


    He snorted, his face full of arrogance, “No need for your reminder, I know I’m very handsome.”


    I feigned a smile and said, “Yeah, you are indeed very handsome.”

    Hearing something off in these words, Alexander was about to say something more, but then he saw


    Walter already standing behind me. He turned to Walter and said, “Mr. Hinton, we meet again.”


    Walter looked at him, his thin lips slightly pursed, and responded with a lukewarm “Hmm”.


    He then nced at me and said, “In mythology, the narcissistic god Narcissus ended up dying by the


    water and turning into a daffodil. Your father didn’t let him into the Conner Group just to let you waste


    time nurturing a daffodil.”


    For a moment, I didn’t react. It was Alexander who looked displeased and said, “Mr. Hinton, do I have a


    grudge against you? Isn’t it inappropriate to speak ill of me like this?”


    Walter nced at him and said, “Since you’ve joined the Conner Group, do what you’re supposed to


    do.”


    After speaking, he looked at me again and said, “I’lle to pick you upter, don’t work too hard. Too


    much stress is not good for you or the baby.”


    Me??

    Watching Walter leave, I was utterly balled.


    Alexander clicked his tongue, not too pleased, and said, “Did my good looks bother him? He even used


    the narcissist from mythology to belittle me, is it so great to be well-read?”


    I withdrew my gaze, nced up at Alexander, didn’t say much. Walter, as always, insulted people


    without using any swear words.


    There were other matters to attend to, so Alexander and I entered the Conner Group, preparing to


    carefully discuss the matter of Thomas and Ryan. These two had taken arge amount of assets from

    Group. If the follow-up was not handled well, the Conner Group would be finished. By then, it wouldn’t


    just be a matter of thirty million dors.


    Thinking about these things, I couldn’t help but get a headache again.


    In the elevator, Alexander tilted his head and looked at me, “Are you pregnant?”


    I paused for a moment, recalling what Walter had just said, pursed my lips, neither denying nor nodding


    in agreement.


    Upon seeing this, Alexanderughed and said, “It seems your man cares about you quite a bit. He’s


    afraid I might have designs on you, so


    he deliberately told me about your pregnancy.”
