Chapter 389
The banquet ended.
Jack sat in the car and looked at his watch. He waited anxiously and frowned.
Why wasn’t Peter back yet?
He sent a message to Peter, and Peter said that something had happened and that Peter would be here soon.
It was already 11 p.m.
At this ****, the car door opened.
Peter sat in.
“Peter, where did you go? Why did you appear so late?”
“No.. your face…”
Jack realized that something was wrong
“Peter! What happened to your face? Why did it become like this?”
“I’m fine. Dad, it was dark upstairs just now. I was feeling a little depressed and wanted to go out for some fresh air. I accidentally fell…” “Impossible! How could you fall like this? Peter, are you still hiding it from me at a time like this? Your face was obviously hit by someone!”
Jack spoke with absolute certainty.
Peter thought of Hugh’s cold and emotionless face. He was afraid that Jack would find out about Hugh and Jane. He was also afraid that Jack would settle scores with Hugh after Jack knew Hugh hit Peter.
It was not that Peter did not want revenge, but Hugh was too dangerous!
If things went wrong, the entire Fowler family would be ruined together!
“Dad, why would you think that? This is Austin Hotel! The people who come here are all top figures in various cities, and they don’t have any hatred for me. How could they attack me for no reason?”
“Well…”
Peter was telling the truth.
But these marks… No matter how Jack looked at them, he did not believe that Peter got hurt himself.
Since Peter insisted that no one hit him, Jack could only believe Peter’s words.
“Have you treated your wounds? Do you want to go to the hospital?”
“There’s no need, dad. I’ve already asked the doctor in the hotel to help me deal with it. The swelling will subside tomorrow. We still have to rush to Crucsia to participate in the live stream ceremony of the production team of the 4-nanometer chip photolithography machine. We have to rest early. We can’t be delayed by such things.”
“Fine…”
Jane still did not know what happened between Peter and Hugh.
She stayed in the room with Yale and Eden and polished the speech for Yale.
“Hmm… That’s about it. That’s the final speech.
“Yale, see if there’s anything else you need to add or modify.”
Yale shook his head. “No… Thank you… Eden… Jane… I’m very satisfied.”
Eden stretched and glanced at his watch. “The next day’s live stream will start at ten in the morning. It’s already one in the morning. You have to rest well, Yale. Jane, you have to pick up Josh tomorrow, and you have to help Yale with the speech. You have to sleep well!”
“That’s true. Yale, go to sleep. You’re the main character tomorrow. You must rest enough! We won’t disturb you anymore!”
Jane and Eden immediately left.
Yale glanced at the prepared speech. He pursed his lips and suddenly had an idea. He walked forward again, picked up the pen, and added a
few more sentences.
