Chapter 503: Chapter 503: I Couldn’t Leave Stuart
Edie knew. She also understood.
Stuart wouldn’t change this as long as he still loved her,
He was such an idiot. He just wanted her not to worry about him. But he didn’t know what he could do nothing but made her worry about him more. She wanted to scold him while thinking about his situation.
But the idiot didn’t know. All he could do was to contribute everything good to the woman he loved, without expecting returns. She can’t bear the pain of looking his husband like this. She can’t imagine how deeply he cares about her. She wanted to cry hard this time because she can’t accept the fact that there’s something bad going to happen to her beloved husband.
Edie’s anger almost disappeared. She felt pain for the man in front of her.
"Why did he run through the red light?"
Edie took quite a while to make her voice.
"Because...the vice president called him. We didn’t know what she said..." Mr. Bates said.
Vice president again... What was really going on? Stuart didn’t tell her his personal battle, aren’t they husband and wife? She thought in silence.
It was also the vice president last night. She needed to protect the man she loved from anyone who hurt him, no matter who it was.
Edie wiped her tears. Her eyes were red as rabbits.
She looked towards Mr. Bates, "Take good care of him. I will be back soon."
"Ivan would light you down."
"Okay," then Edie walked out of the room.
Francies walked to her, "So, you are not going to leave, right?"
"Yes, temporarily. Sorry," Edie made a bow sincerely.
If Francies didn’t hold the guard’s arms tightly just now, she might die already. But it was worth seeing Stuart.
Francies smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "that’s all right. It’s my gift. You have two chances. Cherish them. I should leave now. Call me as needed."
After Francies left, Ivan walked to her and asked in astonishment, "Are you gonna leave Mr. CEO?"
Edie’s eyes turned cold, fixing on him, "yes, I need to go back to A. But I couldn’t leave Stuart now."
"If you leave him, he would break down." Ivan was shocked.
"But I couldn’t watch him destroy Donald and Hawk without doing anything. Ivan, please help me," she said word by word.
"How....how to help you?" Ivan’s face changed. He already realized her plan.
"You are in full charge of the business with Hawk, right?"
"Yes...but..."
Ivan wanted to say something more, but Edie interrupted him.
"Ivan, please help me. Stop now. I would take all responsibility," she held his arms tightly.
Ivan was caught in an awkward position again.
If he really helped Edie, he was turning against Stuart.
"Please, Mrs. CEO. I couldn’t go against the president’s order. I couldn’t afford the consequence."
"I would accept the consequence. Please."
"Sorry, I couldn’t. Please talk to the president when he wakes up." Ivan still refused,
Edie bit her lips, "all tight. I would talk to you later. Drive me there first."
Edie had no too much time now. It was not easy to persuade Ivan to go against Stuart’s order.
Soon, they arrived at the door of the L.N. building. The vice president was dealing with something in the office.
Edie didn’t know how to describe her feelings at the moment.
Her son was lying in the hospital at the moment. But she could still work as usual, as if nothing happened. What a horrible mother.
With Ivan’s help, Edie got into the vice president’s office quickly.
She knocked on the door. Then she hears Bette’s calm voice, "Come in."
When seeing Edie, Bette was astonished for a second, but she calmed down immediately.
"I just want to talk to you," Bette greeted, "I believe you already heard Stuart’s plan on Hawk. This is a deadly business cutthroat competition. He was abusing public power to retaliate against people he hates. This caused resentment in the board of directors. If he kept doing this, he would ruin his reputation and even the image of L.N." ƒrēewebnovel.com
"So?" Edie asked indifferently.
Bette was choked by the word. She frowned slightly,
"As his wife, you should try to talk to him."
"Is this all you want to tell me?" Edie sneered, "do you know he had an accident after answering your call? Do you know he was in a coma in the hospital?"
"Yes, Mr. Bates already told me. It’s not bad. I don’t have to worry about him."
"What do you mean? Stuart hardly drinks wine. But he was drunk last night. He’s so sad, but he still needed to struggle. I don’t know what happened between you. You are his mother, my mother-in-law. I respect you. But please, don’t hurt Stuart, okay?"
Bette trembled a little bit after hearing Edie’s words. Looking at the determination in Edie’s eyes, Bette felt a little helpless.
She fell into silence for several seconds and said, "Okay. I would go to the hospital with you now."
"Vice president, frankly speaking, you are a good leader and superior. But you are terrible at being a mother. If I don’t come here today, would you visit your son now?"
Bette froze. Then she sat down again," Indeed, I am not a good mother. But he was born in Yates. He couldn’t be the greenhouse flower."
Bette recalled Stuart’s face and voice the other night. He looked so cold. He sounded really angry.
She threatened him with marriage. If he dared to destroy Hawk, she would make the identity of Bayer known to the public. She would marry him. This was the reason for the accident.
Her heart ached too. But she couldn’t show it. Otherwise, Stuart would know she was just threatening him.
She was strong. She must be. She had to bear everything.
Since her husband left, she got used to this.
"I would be a good mother, as long as you stop him. Is it okay for you?" frёewebηovel.cѳm
"Are....are you trading with me?" Edie asked. She was horrified.
