"Hey, have you heard that? The new president of the Newell Group is a woman. She seems to be Mr. Newell's daughter. She is beautiful and capable." Halbert heard someone discussing the new president not far away.
"Is Dalton surnamed Newell?" Another person was very surprised, as well as Halbert. He did not know that Dalton's last name was Newell.
"That's right. I heard from his secretary that his name is Dalton Newell. His secretary is my cousin. The news is definitely real." Halbert looked at the two people not far away. Both of their faces were unfamiliar to him. They should be employees of SR Company as today was SR's annual meeting.
"Wow, that's amazing. She must be a heroine. Let's go and look for her. I really want to see such a strong woman." The two women made a deal to look for Amy.
Halbert looked at his son worriedly. He was like a retard. It was so heartbreaking. He didn't know if this was the end of his life. What kind of sin did he commit so he was punished like this?
Almost everyone had arrived. Andy spoke on the stage, welcoming all the guests and staff. He said a few routine words. The guests were all standing in the middle of the hall. After Andy finished speaking, they gave a warm applause.
Suddenly, Richard broke free from Halbert's hand and quickly walked forward.
Halbert followed closely behind in fear. Many people knew Richard and some of them were greeting him, but Richard ignored them. He walked towards his target.
"Dexter, I'm going to the bathroom," Amy said to her younger brother.
Then she went to the bathroom. When Richard arrived in front of Dexter, he did not see Amy.
"Where is the woman here just now?" Richard grabbed Dexter's collar and fiercely asked.
Dexter wanted to push Richard away, but Richard was very strong. He firmly grabbed Dexter's collar. Dexter did not want to start a dispute here. After all, Richard was the former president of HD Group.
"I'm sorry. Let me persuade him." Halbert thought that his son had gone crazy again, so he hurriedly pulled Richard away.
Thanks to the joint efforts of the two, Richard was finally pulled away. He stared at Dexter.
However, he thought that he had an illusion. Everyone thought that Richard was crazy, and only he himself knew the pain in his heart.
Richard pounded his head. He wanted to cry, but he couldn't.
"I'm going to the bathroom," Richard said to Halbert, then walked towards the bathroom. He wanted to find a place where there were fewer people to calm down. That person's silhouette looked like Amy's.
Halbert wanted to follow, but after thinking about it for a while, he decided to wait outside. He followed too closely, so he was afraid that Richard would lose his temper.
Halbert walked to a place not far from the bathroom and waited for Richard.
After washing his face with cold water, Richard looked at the man in the mirror. His hair was scattered on his head. His beard had grown wildly and his eyes were hollow. The spirits of the past him had disappeared without a trace. Now, he just looked like a walking dead. He wanted to be with Amy, but even death was so difficult for him.
After staying in the bathroom for a while, Richard had no choice but to go out. He knew that his father was worried about him. It must have been his illusion. It was not the first time he had mistaken the wrong person. He had even been beaten a few times, but he was not in the mood to fight back anymore.
After coming out of the bathroom, Richard saw his father waiting for him not far away. He was just in his fifties, but in just a few years, half of his hair had turned grey. Richard felt that he was sorry for his parents.
