A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 18

After answering Audrey's text message, Melvin walked into Bryson's office.

Melvin said, "Mr. Bryson, are you looking for me?"

Bryson put down his phone.

"Did you see the news just now?"

"Mr. Bryson, what do you mean?"

"The results of the second trial between the Four Seasons Group and the QK Architects."

"I just heard that the Four Seasons Group lost the lawsuit, and ... it was suspected of breaking the law. Its deputy general manager of the branch office in Eastwood City has been arrested at court."

"Yes." Bryson lightly tapped his finger on the table. "The one in charge of this case is Harold."

Melvin instantly understood.

"Mr. Bryson, I'll look for a new consulting firm immediately."

"It's up to me to choose the consulting firm. You can arrange it!"

Bryson intended to choose the legal advisor personally.

Melvin really wanted to say that he could deal with this kind of thing without bothering Bryson.

Melvin replied respectfully, "Yes."

...

The president's office of the Four Seasons Group.

The atmosphere in the office was tense.

Julian stood by his desk, looking completely pale.

Sanford, Julian's father, was ashen with rage. He angrily threw the ashtray on the table at Julian.

Julian was unprepared and his forehead was smashed straight by the ashtray. Following Julian's painful roar, the ashtray landed at his feet and shattered with a crisp sound.

The ashtray left a bloody hole in Julian's forehead. Blood flowed out of the wound and dripped down his chin to the ground. However, Julian did not dare to move a single step. He stood there with his hands clenched into fists.

Among the information scattered on the ground, there was a picture of Tom and some others taking drugs in a private room of a bar. Julian also appeared in the picture.

Julian's forehead was bleeding, but it couldn't suppress Sanford's anger.

"Look at what you've done!" Sanford scolded angrily, "How dare you to take drugs? Our company has been completely disgraced by you."

Julian gritted his teeth as he explained, "Dad, I didn't."

"Who will believe that you didn't take drugs? Because of you, half of our partners stop cooperating with us. Our company's shares have fallen by the limit."

Julian couldn't retort.

It was an indisputable fact that he did appear in the private room at that time.

Sanford pointed at Julian's nose and said, "Make a statement immediately and go to the relevant authorities to test your blood. Then post your blood test report online."

"OK. I'll go right now."

When Julian came out of Sanford's office, Julian's assistant saw Julian's bleeding forehead and hurriedly came forward to press a napkin against Julian's wound.

Grim-faced Julian entered the elevator with his assistant.

"Where's Jasmine?" Julian immediately asked.

"After leaving the courthouse, she headed straight for the international airport. She has already left the country."

Julian angrily pushed the assistant's hand away and threw the napkin on his forehead onto the ground.

"Bastard, go after her. No matter where she escapes, you must catch her."

Jasmine had humiliated him so much that he absolutely couldn't let her go.

"I've already had some men to chase after her."

"And who is the lawyer for the QK Architects?"
