Chapter 486 You Are the Best in My Heart
As soon as they finished speaking, Chuck came back.
Thalia stopped talking abruptly, obviously on guard against him.
Chuck pretended not to notice it and was still attentive to James and Elena.
But Thalia had just confessed her pregnancy, and Elena’s attitude toward Chuck suddenly became a little awkward.
“I have something to discuss with Finley. I’ll head over first.”
Elena nodded with a sour face and sighed helplessly.
After Thalia left, Elena spoke to Chuck.
“Chuck, thank you for your help during this time.”
“Elena, you don’t have to be so polite. This is what I should do.”
Chuck smiled brightly, looking like he did not have any bad intentions.
“About you and Thalia, we are sorry. She is determined to marry Finley. I will find you a good match.”
With that said, there was no need for Chuck to continue pleasing Elena.
“Elena, you are so polite. I don’t have any special feelings for Thalia. I just treat her as a friend. I only want her to be happy.”
“Emm, that’s good.”
Elena nodded happily, indicating James should also say something.
“On the day of the wedding, come and have a few drinks.”
“Okay, thank you, James.”
Chuck chatted with them in the sick room for a while before leaving absent-mindedly.
When he closed the door, a look of annoyance flashed across Chuck’s eyes.
He felt he should have acted earlier. Thalia must be suspecting him now.
Chuck had planted a few trusted aides in the Crompton Group, but they had all been fired by Thalia a few days ago.
Chuck did not expect Thalia to be waiting at the corner of the corridor.
“Are you waiting for Finley?” Chuck asked.
“You seem to be concerned about my matters. What did you say to my parents just now? Are you trying to sow discord again?” Thalia asked coldly.
“Am I really that bad in your eyes?”
“Oh, I’m cautious. Don’t mind it,” Thalia said unconcernedly. She imitated Chuck’s tone and spoke with a cold gaze.
“You are hurting my self-esteem a little. After all, I really wanted to help you before,”
Chuck said rather seriously.
“You know best whether you want to help me or have other motives.”
He was shocked that Thalia only looked stupid, but she was actually quite smart.
“Did Finley tell you all this?”
“My husband is busy all day and doesn’t have time to pay attention to you.”
“He has your favor.”
As soon as Chuck finished speaking, he glanced behind Thalia indifferently.
Finley walked over and naturally embraced her.
“I am sorry I kept you waiting for so long. Just now, a patient suddenly
looked for me.”
“It doesn’t matter. I didn’t wait long.”
Thalia’s tone suddenly became gentle.
Chuck stood rooted to the ground, a little embarrassed.
Finley glanced at him before leaving with Thalia.
“Is there anything else, Mr. Wilder?”
“Oh, there is nothing else. Let’s go,” Thalia said in a flat tone.
Thalia did not take Chuck seriously.
After getting in the car, she chose a restaurant nearby.
Finley told her in detail about James’ situation.
“With you here, of course I will be at ease.”
After Thalia finished speaking, she added.
“The company may be a little busy recently. I have to go there often.”
Finley warned Thalia repeatedly, and Thalia listened to him earnestly.
“I’ll take you to and from work. I’ll be responsible for your meals,” said
Finley.
“You are busy in the hospital. Can you handle them?”
“I’m mainly responsible for your dad recently. When I’m not in the
hospital, I’ll find you.”
Hearing Finley say so, Thalia was moved.
After all, what her parents did was not kind. An ordinary person would
have been driven away long ago.
“You have been in contact with them recently. Did they make things
difficult for you?”
“We mainly talked about his illness.”
Finley answered lightly, but Thalia understood it. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“If they talk nonsense again, tell me.”
“I am the junior. It’s fine if they scold me occasionally. If I don’t do a good
job, I will change my ways,” Finley said gently.
“What did you do wrong? You are the best in my heart. I can’t stand
others slandering you,” Thalia retorted immediately.
Finley answered her with a smile and stopped talking about her parents.
After lunch, Thalia received a message from her assistant.
She took the time to meet Alexa in the afternoon.
Thalia showed the information to Alexa.
“There is indeed something wrong with Chuck.”
Alexa looked at the information and was not surprised by the result.
“He is cooperating with Nina, and Hyman is also involved.” Alexa chuckled, “Earning
money from both sides?”
“It should be Nina who taught him to short the Crompton Group. Otherwise, with
Chuck’s brain, he would not have thought of these
methods.”
“As expected, profit is the most important thing in the business world. Recently, Nina
has been cashing out everywhere. I’m afraid she will run away with money.”
After all, what Nina had done in the French branch was related to Jovan.
Jovan had fought with the Ramsey family for so many years and had
grudges.
Ever since Alexa and Terrence reconciled, Jovan had suppressed Alexa.
Anyone who knew Alexa would be targeted by Jovan.
“I’m really sorry to have implicated you in this.”
“The business world is filled with strife. Moreover, I’m a tough woman
now.” Thalia smiled lightly.
“Take care of yourself. Leave these things to me,” Alexa said without
hesitation.
Thalia trusted Alexa very much, so she nodded.
Alexa went to Hudson Group.
Terrence was in a meeting, so she waited for him in the office.
When the secretary came over with the tea, she said.
“Mrs. Ramsey, Ms. Nina Ramsey often comes to the office to look for Mr.
Ramsey recently.”
“Oh, is that so? What did they talk about?” Alexa asked calmly.
“Probably because she was dissatisfied with the arrangement of the
board of directors, so Ms. Ramsey often came to find fault with Mr.
Ramsey.”
Nina was so keen on power and influence that she would not stand it once
she lost her power.
Alexa chatted with the secretary for a while, and then there was a commotion outside
the door.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Ramsey. You can’t go in…”
The assistant at the door did not stop her. The door was pushed open.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Duran…”
The assistant apologized in embarrassment, but Alexa was calm.
“It’s fine.”
She smiled and looked at Nina.
“Ms. Ramsey, why are you in such a hurry to come over? Do you want to
have a chat with me?”
Nina smiled coldly.
“Don’t flatter yourself. Who are you? What right do you have to talk to
me?”
“I have half the right to deal with Hudson Group, so…”
Alexa shrugged and did not finish her sentence.
Nina’s expression was sour.
When she had quarreled with Hyman at the hotel last time, Alexa had also
been there.
Nina thought maybe Alexa was behind this and made the board of directors demote
her with the excuse of affecting the company’s image.
