“You must do it! This is our family business, so you should run it along with me. However, because you didn’t grow up here as a child, no one told you about it before.”
“But I’m not interested in any of this! You cannot force me to do so.”
“Listen, Ryan, I’m just going to let you run the company for a while. Don’t worry, it’ll only be for a few months.”
Hearing that, Ryan nodded his head. He remembered that Henry and Peter discussed the stock market some time ago, and he knew the group had been struggling recently.
“Has work been particularly difficult lately?” he asked.
“I didn’t leave the company in your hands because things have been tough lately.”
Ryan frowned. He wanted to explain but didn’t know what to say. He paused briefly before saying, “Oh, I didn’t mean that. But are you sure I can handle it?”
He knew the group had a lot of management talent and that any of it Was more reliable than him, a complete amateur. But Wayne let him do it because he trusted him and, most likely, because of Jasper.
Jasper’s vicious attack on the Carousel Group came entirely against ‘Wayne. So, if the group’s CEO was changed, he would be less hostile. Jasper couldn’t do anything else because Ryan was Anna’s friend.
At the thought of that, Ryan looked at Wayne suspiciously as if he wanted Wayne to confirm his suspicions.
Wayne then said, “This will at least buy me some time.”
Ryan knew he was right. He looked down, thought for a moment, and said, “Okay, I’ll do it for you.’
He decided to give it a shot because Wayne had dragged him here. He did so to make up to Wayne and apologize to him.
After dinner, Wayne took his coat and left. Jennie followed him and asked, “Where are you going?”
Wayne cast a glance at Jennie. When he realized Anna had helped him find his mother and brother, he felt conflicted.
“I’m returning to the office to take care of some business.”
“It’s late, and you’re returning to work? You haven’t gotten enough rest lately:
Jennie insisted on dropping him off at the gate, and she didn’t walk back until his car left the yard.
Wayne might be going to France for a long time, so he wanted to see her daughter before he left. After he reached the hospital, many nurses on duty at the hospital recognized Wayne and greeted him.
“Mr. Wright, Tammy has been sleeping and she hasn’t woken up yet,” one nurse said.
Aiter a brief moment of hesitation, Wayne asked, “Is there someone with her?”
“There’s a nurse with her. But no one came here to see her this whole afternoon. She is doing well now and is being treated in a general ward. I called Miss Gabriel, but she didn’t answer the calls. She’s probably busy.”
Surprised by the nurse’s words, Wayne thought, The person Anna cares about most is Tammy. Strange. Why isn’t she here accompanying Tammy?
After seeing Wayne, the nurse in Tammy’s ward left and shut the door. There was only one dim light on in the ward. Wayne approached the bed and satin a chair to gaze at his daughter.
Tammy was a beautiful little girl. Her eyes were as blue as Anna’s, and her nose and mouth were similar to Wayne’s. When Wayne first saw Tammy at the airport, he thought she looked familiar and gave her a box of chocolates. He had no idea she was his daughter at the time, though.
And his heart broke as he thought of how much Tammy had suffered from Asthma since she was a child. She had spent much time in the hospital since she was a child, but she appeared cheerful and lively. On the other hand, Matthew had been cared for by many nannies, but Tammy looked better taken care of than him.
Wayne froze as he realized Matthew would have been just as lively as Tammy if he had grown up around Anna. /t looks like I didn’t do a good job at taking care of my kids, Wayne thought.
At that moment, Tammy twitched her fingers and said, “Daddy.”
When Wayne heard her sweet voice, he froze. He looked up and saw that she was awake, but she looked very confused.
She said in a husky voice, “Why are you here? Where is my mother?”
Wayne knelt beside her bed, took one of her hands in his, and said gently, “Your mom is busy now, and she’ll be here later. How are you feeling?” Tammy asked weakly, “Did you and Mommy make up?” Wayne didn’t respond, and Tammy took his silence as ano. She said, “You can’t hurt my mommy because she’s a very kind and amazing woman. She loves you, but you are cruel to her. You’re not as sweet to her as Uncle Jasper is. How can you do this?”
She said a lot, and that made her cough. Tammy did, however, look at Wayne with disappointment. And Wayne felt amused and embarrassed after realizing he had been educated by a child.
“Did your mommy say she liked me?” he asked.
“How come she married you if she didn’t like you?”
“I thought she wanted to marry me simply because of you and Matthew.”
Tammy yelled angrily, “No! Absolutely not! Never, ever say that again. If mommy hears what you said, she will be upset. She’s not someone who always compromises for the sake of others.”
Hearing that, Wayne clenched his grip on Tammy’s small hand, thinking, Tammy, you’re right. Anna’s not the type of person to accept second best, so she will not marry me for the sake of two children. She must have had feelings for me.
“My mom and I say that we can’t just judge a person simply by their actions and words; we have to put ourselves in their shoes, sometimes, The fact that she didn’t tell you the truth doesn’t mean she didn’t love you. I’d love to live with you and my brother. But, more importantly, I want a father who loves my mother. So, if you can’t make my mother happy, you’ll never be my father. You’ll be just Uncle Wayne to me.”
Tammy’s words broke Wayne’s heart, and her final sentence made him nervous.
After leaving the hospital, he called Ana. He needed to get everything ‘ off his chest because he couldn’t bear the thought of his child being heartbroken. However, Anna had not returned his calls. And he assumed she was still upset about the things in the afternoon.
About an hour later, the driver exclaimed as they approached the front door of the Wright’s residence, “Oh, crap!”
Wayne looked up and noticed that the villa was well-lit. He frowned as he heard people screaming in terror from there. As soon as he spotted the line of black cars at the door, he wasirritated. t’s only been a few days; why is Jasper here again? What the hell does he want?_ he thought.
With that in mind, he said to the driver impatiently, “Stop the car.
Henry tried to stop the bodyguard from running around, but he failed. Then he shouted angrily, “I’ve called the cops. If you keep barging in like this, the cops will arrest you.”
“Ifyou don’t let her go, the cops will take you all away with us. We can leave the police station, but you cannot.” Lily said. In her high heels and business suit, she seemed powerful. Jasper stood next to her. He hadn’t said anything since he walked in, but he was clearly angry.
“It’s only been a few days since the last time you broke into my house. What are you doing here?” Wayne said as he stood in the doorway, “Oh, you didn’t just break into my house this time. You brought more people with you.”
When Jasper saw Wayne, he immediately approached him and grabbed him by the collar, yelling, “How dare you come back?!” Wayne then immediately grabbed Jasper’s collar. They appear to be evenly matched due to their similar height and shape. Wayne said, “This is my house, of course I dare to come back! Jasper, you’re so over the line! You not only attacked my company but also broke ‘ into my house twice! What the f**k do you want?!” Jasper took a deep breath and said, “I don’t have time for small talk. Where is Anna?”
‘kidnapped her.”
“What? k*”****”**g?” Wayne asked.
Jasper wiped the blood from the corer of his mouth and said grimly, “Don’t play dumb. Anna has been missing for the entire day! She only met you this afternoon and didn’t go anywhere, Where have you been hiding her?”
