The appearance of Mr. Martin really gave his supporters a strong psychological effect, and won over the fence-sitters. Because no matter how eager Jack, Dylan and the others were, they dared not fight against Mr. Martin blatantly. As long as Mr. Martin was fine, the Empire Group would still belong to him anyway. Other people who were eager to take action could do nothing about it.
It could be said that Lily's wedding was of political significance. It was very smart and wise for Mr. Martin to choose to appear at this time. It seemed that he had made arrangements beforehand. Nobody knew what would happen to the Empire Group in the future.
When they went back in the evening, Carlson drove silently. Leena couldn't help peeping at his expression. After a long time, he asked, "What are you looking at?"
Leena said, "Tonight, Mr. Martin came out to refute the rumor. Is what he said true? If it's not true, why is he in good spirit? If he is a patient at the advanced stage of cancer, it's impossible for him to be in such a state. Is the so-called illness of Mr. Martin a conspiracy? Is he pretending to be sick to see other people's movements?"
Carlson sneered, "You bel
a New Year's Eve dinner?" She couldn't help but wipe her tears.
Leena hurriedly persuaded her, "Mom, I watched the news a few days ago and saw the New Year party held in the prison. The female prisoners designed their own clothes and take catwalk and so on. Although my brother is in the men's prison, it must have its own activities. Don't think too much about him in case you fall ill."
"It's New Year's Eve. Don't say such inauspicious things. Mom is in good health," said Carlson to Leena. Mother, you don't have to worry about Peterson. He will be fine inside and when he comes back he will be your good son in the future. Just wait and see!"
Mrs. Yang wiped her tears and couldn't help laughing. She thought that although her son-in-law was usually cold, he could still comfort her.
At this time, the phone rang. He picked it up and took a look at it. Then he frowned and stood up. He looked at Leena and said to Mrs. Yang, "Mom, I have to answer a phone first."
Leena only felt that there was something wrong with the phone call, or else he wouldn't have that expression on his face. It seemed that his nerves suddenly tensed, which swept away the joy just now.
