Drowning Him In Regret novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79 Leaderless

The situation at the construction site had temporarily calmed down, and I didn’t have to go there for now. The most important thing was staying by Jude’s side.

I just didn’t expect Aiden to show up.

He asked, “What’s going on? It’s just a minor issue. How could Jude attempt suicide over something like this?

“How do you know it was suicide? What if he was poisoned?” I narrowed my eyes at him.

This guy clearly came prepared. Rushing over and trying to frame it as a suicide. He was clearly up to no good.

Soon, Bodhi and Mireille also arrived in a hurry, both of them criticizing me nonstop.

“Please leave. Jude needs rest right now. Do you want him to wake up or not?” I stood up and gestured toward the door

I knew with my small frame I couldn’t really stop anyone, but this was a hospital, plenty of eyes watching. Medical staff were moving in and out of the room, so they wouldn’t dare go too far.

Aiden looked at me with a pained expression. “Ada, I know you’re grieving, but the Carson family business is in chaos right now. We can’t go on without a leader!”

“So what? Jude is not dead yet, and you want to take the throne?” I shot him a cold look. I caught that flash of cunning in his eyes, even if it was fleeting.

At this point, they didn’t seem interested in keeping up appearances anymore.

Over the past few years, Aiden had been expanding his own influence, always trying to get projects from Jude.

But every time he tried to get into the Carson Group’s management, Ewan refused.

Ewan believed family–run companies were trouble. If too many family members got involved, everything would spiral out of control. Plus, I hadn’t had a child yet, and that always left him uneasy.

Even blood brothers would turn against each other for money, let alone this bunch.

Ewan was indeed wise. Now that Jude had just gotten into an accident, these people swarmed in like vultures.

Mireille stepped forward, glaring at me with hatred.

She said, “If he hadn’t married you, the Carson family would never be in this mess. Now that Jude’s down, are you trying to take control of Carson Group? You’re not even a Carson!”

Bodhi was also furious. “Exactly! You’re an outsider!”

I retorted, “But I’m his legal wife, aren’t I?”

I spoke without much emotion. “Doesn’t matter what my last name is. I’m his wife, his legal guardian, and co–owner of all marital property.”

Bodhi responded, “As long as Jude isn’t dead, you have no right to manage the company. Isn’t that so?”

At this point, their intentions were clearly exposed.

Just as Bodhi was about to step forward, Ewan burst in with his cane and pushed the door open.

He asked, “What’s all this noise? The doctors said Jude will wake up soon. What are you all doing here?”

Once Ewan spoke, no one dared say another word. They all lowered their heads and went quiet.

He looked directly at me. “You heard about what happened at the construction site?”

I nodded.

Even Aiden knew about it. How could I not?

“Uncle Ewan, we can’t let her take control of Carson Group. She has ulterior motives.” Bodhi rushed to speak, looking

anxious.

He continued, “Look at my son Aiden. If it weren’t for him, could Ada alone have handled those people at the site? She’d be scared half to death.

“Aiden just wants to help his cousin. He doesn’t want our family business to fall into someone else’s hands.” “Bullshit!” Ewan struck him with his cane without holding back. “Jude isn’t dead! He’ll wake up soon!”

Ewan continued, “And Ada is his wife. Not only Successfully unlocked! pany through marriage, she also holds shares.

Do any of you?”

This was something Ewan had been cautious about from the beginning. No matter how much they pestered him, he never let them hold shares.

Ewan declared, “Enough: Even if Jude doesn’t wake up in the next few days, Ada will take full charge. If there’s anything she

doesn’t understand, she can come to me. I haven’t lost my mind yet!”
