It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 236

"Tom, are you available tomorrow? I'll meet you at the hospital." As soon as he got off the phone with Justin, Edward decided to arrange an appointment with Tom. Tom was an all-around doctor, a recognised authority in medical circles of S City, and to schedule an appointment with him wasn't easy. Sometimes he would decide whether or not to take on a patient according to his moods. In any case, Tom was the equivalent of a rockstar in the medical circles.

"Um! Tomorrow morning would be fine. I'll be waiting." As a doctor who had also taken part in that surgery years ago, Tom knew clearly what the appointment was all about. So many years had passed that even he couldn't guarantee that the surgery still worked. It was best for Edward to take a thorough check-up.

"Okay. Rain, I need you to corner the construction materials market, and control Lin Group's supply in this industry. Do it first thing tomorrow and make sure that no one hears about it. I need to see the results the morning after tomorrow." Edward narrowed his eyes threateningly; if Jessica dared to mess with him and hurt Daisy, then she should also be ready to pay the price. He would return her the favor.

"Got it. Edward, how about the project we're working on with the Lin Group? Should I call it to a halt?" Rain knew immediately that Edward was going to attack. Normally, bullying small or medium enterprises wasn't an option for Edward. Considering that establishing a company was not easy, and that their staff were innocent, Edward always went easy on them. It looked like this time Jessica had really crossed the line. With the supply cut off, the Lin Group would have a rough time, but Edward still showed them some mercy, and left them much leeway in the retail industry.

With a cold sneer, Edward said, "No, keep it. I can play a good game with it." Now he was the cunning smiling businessman again. Cancelling this project would be too obvious and would raise some red flags, and the Lin Group didn't have to know that he was the one that ruled everything from behind the curtain.

"Okay, I can enjoy a good fight." Rain loved to have fun, and since he disliked Jessica, it would only bring him even more joy to have her in trouble.

Edward filled his glass and gulped the wine. He felt as though his heart were burned with fire, and his guilt drowned him when he heard Belinda and Daisy's accusations. Every word cut like a knife, but he couldn't undo the harm that he had caused. The only thing he could do was to seize the future, and to try make things better.

This time, none of Edward's friends tried to stop him from drinking because they all knew that Edward was shocked from what he had heard today. Anyone that would have been in his place would have been equally overwhelmed and stricken with pain, and he needed the alcohol to numb his feelings.
