Chapter 159 - Picked Up By A Stranger

Hearing his father's request, Kaili blushed. Her heart was now cheerful again. She could really feel that his father was sincere. That was the most important!

She did not respond to his father's request because she himself still wanted to focus on work, so she had to postpone having children.

????

GBK building, on the top floor, the presidential office!

"Boss, I've investigated everything. Mr. Richard's total debt to the Swan family is 2.5 Billion Euros, as well as a 20% stake with a 65:35% share system."

Dexter's face immediately darkened hearing that. "What the hell is that? Why did the old man agree to a profit-sharing that was clearly so stifling to one side? Wasn't he someone who fought from scratch? Why is it so easy to be bullied?"

Dexter couldn't believe his ears! How could Richard even agree with such a one-sided suffocating distribution system?

"At that time, the GohCorp company went through a financial crisis to the point of going bankrupt, so it agreed to whatever conditions the Swan family gave as long as the company remained standing!"

"Ridiculous! It was so reckless!" Dexter was at a loss for words.

"Do you still want to help GohCorp?" Brandy boldly asked.

"Of course! Do as I said at the beginning!" It was his wife's father's company. He did it only for his wife.

"Take my personal money and buy a company and then arrange cooperation between that company and GohCorp. About the terms of the cooperation, let Richard decide."

Money wasn't something to worry about. How much to squeeze wouldn't make him ruin just because of it. GBK, people called it as the king of business and he was the owner!

"But..."

Dexter looked at Brandy sharply. The assistant's guts suddenly shrunk but that didn't stop him from continuing his words, "It's already 10 o'clock, the information I get said Richard must pay off all his debts before 12. The bank at least needs 12 hours to withdraw that much money, while the remaining time is only 2 hours."

"Then?" Dexter instead asked calmly but in no time the room was filled with chunks of ice ready to freeze anyone!

Brandy knew that his boss was criticizing! He really didn't dare anymore.

"If they can't even do their job, what are they operating for?"

Clear! Dexter's statement was very clear! He didn't care about anything. Everything had to happen as he wished!

Brandy's face was sluggish. He lowered his head to look at his shoes, "Okay, boss!"

As he was about to take his leave, Dexter gave another order, "Remember, don't use the GBK logo on the company you are going to buy this time. Most importantly, don't let Madam find out all this has to do with me!"

Brandy nodded. He stayed there a while to wait for Dexter to finish giving all the orders.

But it had been a minute. No words came out of the boss's mouth. Brandy raised his head again and said, "Are there any other orders, boss?"

"Who asked you to stand there? Aren't you moving?"

Ughh... Brandy couldn't help but shake his head at this boss!

????????

Knock knock...!

The knocking sound snapped Dexter out of his long daydream. He cleared his throat before finally asking the person in.

"Boss, everything has been settled according to your orders. Our subsidiary will cooperate with GohCorp. But at first, Mr. Richard refused the help."

Dexter could hardly believe it! Richard refused financial aid when his company was on the verge of collapse? Wasn't he the kind of person who was ready to do anything as long as his company could survive? Even he almost sold his own daughter.

"Refused? It doesn't sound like him!"

"That's right, boss. But in the end, he accepted our cooperation."

Dexter wasn't interested in that either. He looked back at his laptop screen!

Brandy continued his report, "But there's something odd about the media coverage of GohCorp's bankruptcy."

Dexter stopped typing on the computer keyboard and looked at Brandy, "Tell me!"

"There is something fishy about the spread of this news as it has been targeted. But I can't say for sure, this is just a guess."

Dexter's brow furrowed. It would seem funny if there was a company targeting GohCorp. That company, although not small, but not a really big company! In addition, he also investigated how his father-in-law worked all this time. There was nothing wrong except having a cooperative relationship with trash humans like Peter!

"Who do you think is being targeted in this?" Dexter asked seriously.

"This… I'm still investigating. According to the results I got, GohCorp and Swan Enterprise were still talking about the return on capital and the shares to be repossessed, and that hasn't happened yet. But the news has spread to all the mass media."

Dexter thought for a moment. Somehow, he felt that he was the one who wanted to be targeted in this. Enemy? Of course, he had hidden enemies everywhere who were ready to attack him at any moment.

"This news is intentionally made bigger. It seems that someone that is targeting can see this news!" Brandy added. A few moments later he said again, "But boss, this is just my guess."

Dexter didn't respond, he said, "Who has the madam met these days?"

"The person who always keeps an eye on the madam says, she didn't go anywhere apart from the office and the Sky Garden (the apartment they live in)"

"Go investigate all about SaBi." He even forgot that there was a director who contacted his employees in the early morning. It was so unreasonable!

"Eh...?" Brandy was stunned. Did he hear wrong? Now his boss wanted to limit his wife, huh?

"Ah, not SaBi, but you should investigate the creative director there."

He was the boss. His orders were like a grand mandate that couldn't be resisted no matter what and Brandy would just do everything he was told.

After finishing submitting his report, Brandy resigned.

Not long after Brandy left, Dexter's phone rang. It was his wife who called.

Dexter smiled happily. He knew for sure his wife wanted to thank him and he had prepared a request that Kaili had to do as a thank you. Let's just say Dexter was a selfless person, that's okay!

When the phone button was slid to answer, he heard Kaili's panicked voice!

[Dexter, did you know that Kenzie was hospitalized a few days ago?]

Instantly, his hopes were dashed! Instead of being grateful, Kaili came in worrying about other people!

Dexter replied curtly, "Hmph!"

[Do you know? Why didn't you tell me?]

From the other side, Kaili's voice was slightly loud. Dexter knew he had made a mistake.

"He's fine, even though he's in the hospital. After all, he could have ended up there on his own." He drank so much that his stomach couldn't take it anymore then bleeds! That didn't necessarily kill him, so why worry about him!

[You... No one wants to be sick!]

Kaili defended Kenzie instead, much to Dexter's displeasure!

[I'll be there this afternoon. You have to take good care of him.] Kaili added.

"Me? Why should I?" Dexter didn't accept it! He had a lot of work, why should he take care of someone silly!

[Why not? You're a doctor and he's also being treated at the same hospital as you.]

Bump!!!

Dexter almost forgot his identity as a doctor. Luckily, he didn't talk much. Otherwise, how could he explain to Kaili?

"Hmm… I see."

He didn't want to prolong the conversation anymore. He was afraid that he would make an unexpected mistake.

[I'll be there after work. Wait for me there, okay!]

*Toot*

The phone call was off.

The afternoon, when her working hours ended, Kaili went straight to the hospital. Just as she was getting ready to order an online taxi, her mobile phone rang, signaling an incoming message.

[I happened to be passing by. I'm not sure whether my wife wants to go with me or not?]

Kaili smiled reading the message.

"He said he happened to be passing by. Will I immediately believe that? Huhhh... Let's just say he really wanted to pick me up!" Kaili muttered confidently.

Then she replied, "No, there's no need. My taxi has arrived!"

[I already kicked him out!]

Uhhh... Haha... Kaili giggled reading that. Dexter was always beyond expectations! Everything that was said was like magic, no one could resist it.

"Okay, wait there."

She packed up her stuff and tidy up her desk before leaving her office.

As soon as she saw Dexter's figure, Kaili quickened her pace. The man had been leaning against the car, looking towards the exit. He smiled sweetly as his black eyes finally saw his wife who was getting closer to him. Dexter approached her. His hand immediately grabbed Kaili's hand.

"Why did you come to pick me up?"

Dexter's furrowed his brow hearing that. Couldn't a husband pick up his wife?

"How could I let another man pick you up?"

Another man? Was he accusing Kaili of having an affair, wasn't he? Kaili was instantly annoyed!
