Joan honestly explained he went to the country to Matthew, and he also told him what happened in Thailand before, “I think he'll soon be able to get out of it.”
Joan was worried that Stanford would go to Amanda.
Although Matthew was not in Thailand at that time, he knew what had happened between Amanda and Stanford.
Joan said straightforwardly, “I hope you could intervene personally in this.”
Joan wanted Matthew to intervene in this to let Stanford give up on Amanda.
There was an expression in Matthew that Joan could not read, and he seemed to think about what Joan had just said, but he refused to talk to Joan about Amanda's private matters. Even if Joan knew it, Matthew did not want to talk about what had happened before.
Joan also realized that he might have put his foot in it. After all, it was their family matter, and it concerned Matthew's daughter's matter. Matthew certainly did not want to talk with people about his daughter's private life.
He said apologetically, “Sorry, I...”
Matthew raised his hand and gestured he did not need to say anything.
Joan knew that Matthew might not want to continue the topic, so he talked about his own company. Joan did not like to do business, but he was the only heir of the family. He had to bear all the burdens alone.
He studied in military college, so he seemed to have no great facility to manage the business. Before this, he had hired a person, who was top personnel in business management, to handle the company affairs. However, the person was involved in the last incident, and Joan could no longer have the person to handle the company business. So he had nobody to take care of the company business.
He knew Matthew's background, so he wanted Matthew to give himself an idea or recommend someone to himself.
Joan thought that the family business was part of the family. So he had the responsibility to protect and run the business left by his ancestors.
“The project that Mr. Baron had a joint venture in country D was very successful. You've got a lot of top personnel around you, Mr. Nelson,” Joan said.
Abbott had been working for Matthew for so many years. Otherwise, Matthew would not be rest assured to leave everything about the company to Abbott to handle.
As time went by, Abbott was also getting more and more tactful and ran the company well.
Although Matthew did not care about the company matters anymore, he still paid attention to the big projects that the company followed up.
Indeed, they had performed the project well last time, and both sides got a high rate of return.
Joan hoped to learn some skills to do business from Matthew, and he also wanted to ask for advice on the things he encountered in business management. So the time passed unknowingly after the talk.
Joshua went to the company, while Bonnie and Amanda went to the mall. They went to buy some things that were needed for the wedding. Bonnie had not bought the things that women should prepare for the wedding. It just happened that Amanda returned home this time, so Bonnie wanted to take Amanda out for relaxation.
Amanda was Joshua's elder sister, and she spoiled Bonnie so much since Bonnie was her future younger sister-in-law.
A driver, who was good at fighting, followed behind the two.
He could help them carry their things and also protect them.
“Aren't you buying the things you need for the wedding? How come all the things you bought are for Jos?”
