Chapter 100 - Calm Down

Although Emily looked thin and weak, her willpower was even stronger than men. In Sanda, every time when she was knocked down, she would immediately stand up and shout, "Come again."

She was bothered by secrets, nightmares and pain hidden by her.

Vincent was more willing to grow up with her than to help her clear the hurdles. He hoped that she could be strong enough to overcome herself.

Vincent gave a soft look when he thought of those deer-like wet eyes. He turned his head and said, "Tell Trevor that I will be there tonight."

"Yes, Mr. Vincent."

Rex did not leave immediately, standing there while biting back what he was going to say.

"Go ahead." Vincent did not raise his head, and he looked exceptionally cold and indifferent against the computer screen.

Rex said, "Miss Arabella that day..."

The guards didn't take what happened that day seriously. Arabella didn't say anything. As for the little Hulk, she didn't seem to be bothered by it at all.

"Don't you think that Miss Emily was too..." Rex thought that she was too calm as if she didn't care about Mr. Vincent at all!

Rex did not finish what he attempted to say and he was a little hesitant.

Vincent raised his head and glanced at Rex. That look was as cold as an ice blade.

Rex flinched and went out immediately. He knew that he might lose his job if he went on. Mr. Vincent knew the little Hulk's feelings towards him better than anyone else. There is no need for other people to poke the nose into their business.

Vincent typed two words before he suddenly stopped.

He suddenly remembered that at the Dalton Hotel, the girl looked at him and calmly asked, "Do you want to marry me?"

Others might think that she was just joking, but he could see clearly that she had a lot on her mind. She was puzzled, confused, sad, hesitant, and resolute. She seemed to think nothing when she asked this question.

She did not like him, nor did she want to marry him. She asked this question purely because he liked her too much and she felt stressful and didn't know how to return his love

About 90% of the single women in City Y dreamed of marrying Vincent, but this girl was definitely among the remaining 10%. Vincent had no doubt that this girl might look down upon him if he failed to leave a good first impression.

This little girl...

Harold called the Britt's after he was sent to the hospital.

The butler answered the phone and immediately told Mrs. Britt and Miss Elsie what happened. Then, they rushed to the hospital quickly.

However, Maury could not go to the hospital because he had to take what Eliot was in charge of to the Scavo Corp. Then, he had to return to the company. He was so busy that he finally found some time to go to the hospital in the evening.

Beverly, Elsie and some others were at the hospital. Elliot was injured seriously and his chest and lungs were hurt to various extents. He took a CT scan and the doctor suggested that he stay in the hospital for a few days.

Moreover, it would take half a month for the wounds on his face to be gone.

"Don't tell Emily." Those were the first words Eliot said when he saw Maury.

Hearing this, Elsie was so angry that she even thought about leaving another wound on Eliot's face, but she was held back by Beverly.

Maury seriously looked at the wounds on Eliot's body and said, "Any idea who hurt you?"

"Yes." Eliot said painfully because the corner of his mouth was hurt. Eliot was in great pain as he spoke because his wound would be covered by his saliva. "Dad, don't worry about it. It was me who let my guard down this time."

Maury didn't ask any further when he saw that Eliot didn't want to talk about it. Maury just told him to take care of himself.

Eliot said yes by closing his eyes instead of nodding because he felt pain on his neck and it could be difficult for him to look up and down.

Beverly kept her eyes on Eliot for the past two days, but the contract she cared about never showed up. She knew that her son didn't seem to trust her now. However, the five million yuan was so tempting that she didn't want to give up this great opportunity.

Beverly followed Maury immediately when she saw him leaving. She pretended to wipe tears and said to Maury, "Who did this to my son?"

"Mind your own business and stay out of what happened to Eliot. There is nothing you can do about it." Maury was worried about the company and was not in the mood to talk to her.

Beverly cried out, "Then who am I?!"

Maury and Beverly just left the ward and there were many patients, relatives and medical workers standing on the corridor. Beverly's cry drew a lot of attention from other people.

Maury frowned at her and said, "Keep your voice down!"

Beverly cried, "What I did was just buying something. You have already slapped and scolded me. How dare you look down upon me now! Maury, when I was young, my family gave you a lot of support. You can't turn your back on me just because my family declines. I am still here. You can't think less of me. I am Eliot's mom. I am the mother of our children and your wife."

Maury realized that a lot of people were looking at them. He grabbed Beverly and they went to a safe passage. He said in an angry voice, "What are you doing?!"

However, Beverly suddenly changed her attitudes. "My son has been in such a big trouble and you just tell me to ignore it. I am worried about my son! I have the right to know who hurt him. I know I got the company in trouble, but I have already reflected deeply on my mistakes at home these days. You can't completely deny someone just because of one mistake. You have to give me a chance to make it up. I want to be of some help when I see that our son is injured and you're so busy at the company every day. But I am also afraid that you might be angry at me. I feel like I'm useless in this family. I might as well die..."

Maury scratched his head and he was really annoyed now. "I have a lot on my mind now, would you please stop making things worse?"

Beverly stopped at the right time and said, "You can go now. Elsie and I will be here for Eliot and he will be okay. Tell me if there's anything I can be of some help in the company."

Maury chose Beverly to be his wife. It's not because she was a gentle and virtuous women who did a great job in taking care of her husband and children. Beverly became Maury's wife because she was a businesswoman. The Brooks family did not have any significant business before Beverly was married to Maury. It was Beverly who kept the day-to-day account in record back then and therefore she was especially familiar with numbers. When she grew up, what she learned was market management. She then worked in another company for two years before she got her family's business back on track. The business did well thanks to her management. However, before the Brooks' business went public, it was found out to cheat on taxes. Beverly's sister-in-law didn't listen to Beverly because she wanted to save some money in this way. She even asked Beverly to stay out of it and as a result went to jail with Beverly's brother.

The Brooks family then declined.

But Beverly was right in that she was still quite good at managing business.

Maury began to take it seriously when he heard Beverly's cry. Then, he said, "Alright, you can come to the company tomorrow."

Then he left.

Beverly dried her tears and gave a sly grin.
