"Yes, that’s what I said, but it’s up to me how to plead. I have something going on, so I’ll get going first." Owen turned and walked out.
"No, you lied to me. You can’t leave." Eric saw that Owen was going to leave. He stood up to pull him.
But before he could touch Owen, he was stopped by the bodyguard beside him.
As he walked out of the hotel lobby, Owen calmed down a little. He still felt incredulous. So the person who had instructed Eric all this time was Joan, the last person he had expected.
"Owen, why are you calling me?"
After calming down, Owen called Joan. "It’s okay. It’s just that something happened at the company recently. I’m a little annoyed, so I called you to talk," Owen said to Joan on the other end of the phone.
"Did something happen? Where are you now? I’ll go look for you."
"Well, I’m at the MGM Grand Hotel now. I’ll wait for you here. Come on," Owen said after a moment of thought.
"Okay, wait for me. I’ll be right there."
After hanging up, Owen glanced outside the hotel again. No matter what, there had to be a result today, but the fact that the person who had been ruining his relationship with Anita was Joan was really hard for him to accept.
"President, the police have taken Eric away. Should we go back first?" the marketing manager said to Owen as he came out.
"Wait a minute. I have some unfinished business," Owen said to the marketing manager.
"Owen, I’m at the hotel." After hanging up, Joan rushed to the hotel. On the way, she thought that Eric had done the right thing. Owen was indeed starting to hate Anita.
"Yeah, I see you. I’m here," Owen said as he stood and waved at Johann.
Seeing Owen, Joan quickly reached his side. "Owen, I heard about your company. How is it going?"
"Everything is almost settled. I just caught the person who did this today."
"Have... have you caught him? So soon?" Johann said nervously.
"Yes, I’ve caught him. Do you want to know who it is?" Owen looked up at Joan and asked.
"What has it got to do with me? I don’t want to know."
"Joan, is it really none of your business? Do you know Eric?" Seeing that Joan still wasn’t telling the truth at this point, Owen turned to her and said sternly.
"Who’s Eric? I... I don’t know him," Joan stuttered at the mention of Eric.
"You don’t know him? Then come listen to this recording." Before Joan could say anything else, Owen played the part Eric had just said to Joan.
As soon as she heard the recording, Joan was stunned. She didn’t expect Eric to betray her so quickly.
"How is it? Do you remember now? Do you know Eric?" Owen said to Joan as soon as the recording ended. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
"Owen, listen to me. It’s not like that," Joan quickly hugged Owen’s arm again.
"Joan, I’ve always treated you like a sister. I think I’ve been good enough to you. Why would you do such a thing?"
"Owen, I like you. Don’t you know that I like you? How is Anita worthy of you? I’m really unwilling to let you marry her."
"Joan, I don’t need you to think about whether the person I like is worthy or not." With that, Owen paused.
"Joan, I’ll tell your dad about this, but I won’t announce it. It’s just that I hope I won’t see you again in the country. You know I mean what I say." With that, Owen turned and walked out.
"Owen, don’t do this to me. I like you." Joan knew that she had no chance at all anymore. After Owen said this, she collapsed to the ground.
"President Owen, Miss Joan is still there? What’s wrong?" The marketing manager, who was sitting in the car, glanced at Joan, who was still standing at the hotel entrance.
"It has nothing to do with you. Don’t worry so much," Owen said while glancing at the marketing manager.
Hearing Owen’s words, the marketing manager immediately shut up.
"The matter is almost settled. Go back to the company and tell everyone that they’ve worked hard these past two days. Give everyone a break and have a good rest," Owen said to the marketing manager after a moment of thought.
"Yes, CEO. They’ll definitely be overjoyed to hear this news." When he heard that they could take a break, the marketing manager immediately forgot about Joan and said happily.
