In the dark night, the city had fallen asleep. Only the street lights were constantly emitting light, occasionally with a few cars whistling past.
Austin stood in front of the window and looked out at the deep night. He couldn't fall asleep for a long time. The room was shrouded in a strong smell of tobacco, and there was a cigarette butt between his fingertips, slowly blowing out smoke. His feet were surrounded by cigarette butts, and his eyes were deep.
The phone in his pocket was buzzing. It was not until the cigarette butt burned his fingertips that he came to his senses and answered the phone.
"Hello, father!"
"I have told them that Terence's power overseas has been restrained. He should go to England for negotiation in a period of time. Take Hester back to the United States during this period of time!"
The man's tone was cold, but there was a trace of concern in it. After all, Austin was his son. He couldn't watch him fall into despair alone.
As for that woman, he would no longer insist. Austin had been tossing and turning for so long, but he didn't give up. He must care about her very much!
"Thank you!"
Austin's throat tightened, and his heart was entangled with mixed feelings. He knew that his father had always been stubborn and did not like Hester very much. It was not easy for him to make such a concession.
His father must have investigated Hester's background. However, they had been entangled with each other for three years. Why did he suddenly agree?
"I know what you are thinking, but, when I am my age, some things should be looked away from and should be taken lightly. I didn't ask about your relationship with Hester, nor did I fully express my approval.
I've investigated her background. You should take care of her. After all, our two families have been friends for generations. If you really make up your mind, I can't stop you naturally. Your temperament is exactly the same as your mother's."
Garrett's voice was full of ti
that moment.
"It's late. Go to bed early!"
"Okay!"
Austin answered indifferently and ended the call. He stood in front of the window and didn't move for a long time.
The trial of Qi Group's case attracted the public's attention. After all, Qi Group was of great importance in the country. It would be bad luck for that company to fight against them.
Of course, there were also some people who were looking forward to finding the evidence to defeat Qi Group, which could be regarded as a vent of anger.
Hester glanced at Sheryl, who was sitting beside her and was well prepared, and raised her eyebrows slightly. Terence had attached great importance to the previous investigation stage. Why didn't he appear in the court today?
"Miss April, is there anything wrong?"
Sheryl turned around and frowned at Hester's absent-minded look. She closed the file in her hand and asked softly.
Raising her hand to tuck the short hair near her ear, Hester shook her head slightly. "No, I have prepared all the materials. I will definitely take this case. Please rest assured, Secretary Sheryl!"
Sheryl's temples throbbed. Looking at Hester's deliberately concealed alienation, he felt a headache. Hester was her cousin. Why did she call her like that?
"Miss April, you can call me Sheryl. Don't be overcautious!"
