Chapter 149
Orlando found the mastermind behind this accident was someone he couldn't afford to offend.
He knew that the case fell to K&T Inc, and many people were jealous. But he didn't expect that
someone would play dirty.
Xavier glanced at him and said, "Say it."
"This case fell to K&T Inc, a small company. Of course, many big companies are jealous, including the
XWX Group. But I didn't expect that they would take our small business so seriously. As for the project,
I can seek help from someone to fix it and minimize the damage, but… you know, the XWX Group is so Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
powerful, after all, and I'm afraid he'll play dirty tricks again."
This was how society ran now: bully the weak and fear the strong.
Xavier thought for a moment and said, "I see."
Orlando was relieved, but he also wanted to know what had happened to Arya.
"The day after tomorrow is the company's regular meeting of shareholders…"
Arya was the biggest shareholder. If she didn't show up at the meeting, it would definitely raise
suspicion. Orlando had to find an excuse to explain it.
Xavier knew that he couldn't keep it a secret. However, telling it to the people in her company would
definitely demoralize them.
Orlando knew that something must have happened to Arya. Otherwise, she wouldn't have left Ryan
behind.
"Don't worry, Miss Harrison trusts me. It is the chance she gave me that brings me here today. I won't
betray her." Orlando added to dispel Xavier's doubts.
After a moment of deliberation, Xavier let Orlando into the office.
He felt that Arya had her reasons for trusting Orlando.
Ryan was very sensible. He seemed to know that they had something to discuss, so he ran aside to
play.
Xavier looked at Ryan and said to Orlando, "Something happened to her… She won't be back for the
time being. You have full control over the company. If there is something you can't handle, come to me.
If anyone asks where she is, just say she is with me."
Orlando said in a serious tone, "I see."
Xavier used his identity to block those guesses.
Those shareholders knew that Arya had something to do with him, so they did not dare to make trouble
when Arya was absent.
After Orlando left, the office instantly turned quiet. Xavier waved at Ryan and said, "Come here."
Ryan ran over and asked, "Are you done talking?"
Xavier picked him up and sat on the sofa.
Arya had disappeared for a month, and the longer it took, the less likely she was to come back. He had
been stopping himself from thinking about it, but he became more and more flustered.
The hand holding Ryan unconsciously exerted more strength.
"It's hurt."
Ryan knew that he must be missing Mom again.
Xavier immediately let go of his hand. "I'm sorry."
He didn't mean it.
Ryan wanted to comfort Xavier, but he didn't know what to say.
He knew that if he called him daddy, he might be happy.
He had always wanted a father.
However, he had to wait for mommy to tell him that Xavier was his father.
Ryan burrowed into Xavier's arms and pressed his small face against his chest. He said, "Mommy said
I couldn't call someone daddy so easily, so I can't call you daddy. Otherwise, she will be sad and angry
again. If she cries, I will want to cry too. So even if you may be my father, I can't do it."
Xavier felt that his chest was so stuffy that he could hardly breathe. "I see, you can call me daddy when
she comes back."
When she came back, he wanted to tell her that he had been missing her for five years.
When she came back, they could give Ryan a complete family.
When she came back, he would tell her that she wasn't a slut.
When she came back, he would thank her for giving Ryan to him…
At this moment, the secretary knocked on the door and came in, intending to tell Xavier that he had a
meeting today. Everyone was waiting for him in the conference room.
Xavier's face darkened and snapped, "Who allowed you in?"
The secretary was so scared that her body trembled. She quickly closed the door and stood at the
door, covering her chest. Now Xavier was more and more irritable.
Jacob came over with the document in his hand and saw the secretary standing at the door. He asked,
"Why haven't you informed the president about the meeting yet?"
The secretary came to her senses and looked at Jacob with a bitter face, "He is too irritable now. I've
been scolded eight times in this short week. I nearly can't stand it."
The secretary's face was full of sadness. In the past, Xavier had a bad temper and occasionally got
angry. But now, he got angry with her every day.
She was already very careful to avoid offending him, but she was still often scolded.
Jacob knew that Xavier became so bad-tempered because of Arya. Judging from the current situation,
Arya was probably in danger.
The chances of her survival were not high.
At sea, it was too dangerous.
Jacob waved his hand."Go back to your work. I'll handle it."
The secretary nodded gratefully.
Jacob, who had also been scolded many times, was nervous.
He collected himself and pushed the door open…
'Who's so daredevil? Can't they leave me alone for a while?' Xavier frowned.
Just as he was about to get angry, Ryan hugged his neck and said, "Can you not be angry? I'm afraid."
Ryan looked timid as if he was frightened by Xavier.
Xavier reached out to rub his hair and softened his tone, "I'm not being angry with you."
Ryan leaned on Xavier's shoulder and the timid look on his face disappeared without a trace. He
looked at Jacob with a smile.
Jacob patted his chest and quietly gave Ryan a thumbs-up. If it hadn't been for Ryan, he would have
been scolded again.
"Sir, shall I cancel the meeting?" Jacob asked in a low voice.
'Meeting? What's the meeting?' Xavier looked confused.
Jacob looked at Xavier's expression and complained in his heart. 'Did he forget?'
Jacob couldn't help but feel a little scared. Since Arya disappeared, he had been bad-tempered and
forgetful.
"Have I arranged a meeting?"
"Yesterday you said we were going to have a meeting today."
Suddenly, Xavier recalled it. He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Let the secretary inform them that the
meeting is canceled."
"OK." Jacob walked over, handed the iPad, and showed him today's news that Estella killed her lover.
He put down the iPad and looked up at Jacob. "I remember Rufus has a casino in Summer Town?"
Jacob was stunned. 'Why did he suddenly mention Rufus?'
When he regained his senses, Jacob nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, it's an entertainment venue on
the surface, but it's a prostitution business on the sly."
"Aren't the government wiping out pornography and gambling on a large scale? Reveal some clues."
Jacob's expression became a little serious. He didn't know why Xavier wanted to expose Rufus at this
time. Although they had been at loggerheads, it's all in the dark. They got along well on the surface.
They would become enemies on the surface if Rufus discovered it was Xavier who did this.
'Could it be because Rufus used Harriet to embarrass him?'
Xavier seemed to know what Jacob was thinking and said sarcastically, "She isn't that important."
Even if Harriet hooked up with Rufus's father, Xavier wouldn't take it to heart.
Xavier did this because Rufus did something against K&T Inc.
Since Rufus did it, he had to teach him a lesson.
"I'm sorry you can't enter!" Suddenly, there was a noise at the door.
"You can't stop me!"
The office door was pushed open…
