Halbert frowned as he listened to what the two people said. He did not believe something they said, but what they said seemed so true.
"When did you know Miss Newell? And when was your mother ill?" Richard asked.
"We have known Miss Newell for a long time. Be then she was the vice president of the HD Group. However, after she came back, she seems that she doesn't know us. Our mother was ill three months ago. And we don't know why Miss Newell would know our mother's illness and she gave us money. Then she asked us to do her a favor." When one of them finished, he looked at Richard regretfully.
"We do not know what trouble will bring to the HD Group. We didn't check a batch of products, thinking that the HD Group goods were generally qualified, so... Mr. Carter, could you please spare us? It's our fault. It's our fault." They knelt on the ground and cried, but Richard's fists tightened.
"Take them down." Richard was tired. He needed to think about what was going on.
"Are all the workers who made that shipment still here?" Richard asked his men.
"Some of those workers quit, some of them are still there. Shall I take some workers here?" asked the man.
"Well, get some here. I want to see what happened." Richard waved his hand and let his men out.
Rubbing his sore temple, Richard was thinking hard, but he couldn't understand Amy's intention. Was she trying to destroy the Carter Group? But why? Did she have that much of a grudge against the HD Group? But he didn't do anything wrong to her.
"Mr. Carter, Mr. Carter! The old Mr. Carter fainted with anger and was sent to the hospital." Richard was having a meeting when his staff rushed in. It seemed that Halbert's condition was in danger.
"The meeting is over." Richard closed his papers, gave them to his secretary, and walked quickly out.
After Halbert learned that Amy was responsible for all what happened to the HD Group, he couldn't accept it, plus there was something wrong with his head, so he fainted again.
Cathy was so scared that she cried all the way down the road, "What's wrong with the family? Why would it become this bad?"
"The patient can't stand any provocation. I have told you when he was discharged from the hospital last time. His life could be in danger at any moment." The doctors just finished the operation with Halbert.
"Yes, yes, it's all our fault. We shouldn't have made him angry." Cath didn't know what was going on. She said Halbert fainted when he got an email and checked it.
"He had not been out of danger. You can't say anything provocative to the patient." The doctor warned with a straight face.
"Well, all right, we'll keep that in mind." Richard held his mother.
Halbert was lying on a hospital bed, looking pale with tubes intubated all over his body, and was surrounded by two nurses.
"I want to go in and see your father," Cathy said to Richard.
