President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free novel Chapter 204

“Probably because the company was not very important. It was only a subsidiary that bankrupted and it had no more value. At that time, you were busy competing with Franklin for the hotel development project in the South China Sea Resort. I was the one to handle all these small companies.”

“Why did it bankrupt?”

Joseph questioned him, “Why didn’t ST Group adopt an assistance strategy for the company at that time?”

“ST Group also can’t help it. The brand’s reputation was ruined by those black-hearted factories and the manager of SY Clothing at that time. They were so brave to cut corners in a large number of children’s clothing materials, and the materials chosen were substandard. The chemical substances inside were harmful to the human and the news was all over the place at that time. However, as SY Clothing and ST Group did not have many relations, the headquarters was not affected. When I went to SY Clothing, the company had already gone empty.”

Five years ago, Joseph was not the head of ST Group. Harrison was a bit worried about Joseph managing the company alone, plus Joseph had concealed the birth of the child from Harrison and this made him unhappy, so the power of managing the company was spread and restricted.

Joseph’s cousin, Franklin had the other half of the power to manage the company.

The hotel development project in the South China Sea Resort was a decisive game between the two of them, and it took Joseph two years to win. Franklin who was the loser packed up and left ST Group. At that time, all the companies in the real estate investment industry were bidding for the project and they had no time to care about the trivial matters of the subsidiaries. Everyone’s focus was on the project in the South China Sea Resort which would bring them a lot of profit.

Therefore, it was true that Joseph didn’t know anything about SY Clothing.

And there was another important reason.

Magnus on the other end of the phone said meaningfully, “It was said that the manager of SY Clothing at that time was Franklin’s lover. The two of them had a complicated relationship, and thus the company received a lot of ill-gotten gains. The performance of the company reported to the headquarters was always average, but the headquarters surprisingly didn’t send anyone down to manage it.”

It was simple to understand. SY Clothing was under the control of Franklin at that time, and Joseph could not intervene in it at all.

“Put together the specific things that happened at the time and send it to me.” Joseph pondered for a moment. “I want a directory of all of the clothing designers working at SY Clothing at that time.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Joseph turned around. He was shocked to see Dante standing behind him.

“It’s not a good habit to eavesdrop on others’ phone calls.”

Joseph taunted him deliberately. His words were ungracious.

Dante, however, was a bit baffled. When Joseph was about to walk away, Dante turned around and told him from a distance.

“It’s impossible that you don’t know what happened at that time. It was such big news and the final blame attributed to me was a decision made by someone from your headquarters.”

“I don’t have interest in what happened to you back then. I don’t care why do you have a grudge against me either. There are plenty of people who hate me. You’re not the only one.”

After finishing his words, Joseph entered the clinic without looking back.

The swarthy man stood at the entrance of the clinic. His figure and the white walls of the clinic formed a sharp contrast of black and white, like a statue standing motionless for a long time.

After treating the wounds, Hayden fell asleep for two hours. When she woke up, she was almost numb from the pain, but she still felt a bit of pain when she moved. She couldn’t help but gasp in pain.

“You still feel pain, right?”

Joseph held her hand with a distressed look on his face, “The doctor said you’re not fit to travel for a long distance right now as the blisters may be torn open. Therefore, we’ll observe your situation for a night and go to the hospital in the city tomorrow morning.”

Hayden's voice was a little hoarse, probably because of the excessive screaming earlier.

It took half a day for her to find her voice, “I’m hungry.”

Joseph who had a serious expression initially was stunned and he got up hurriedly, “I’ll help you to buy some food.”

“No need.”

Hayden blinked her eyes at the man behind him, “Mr. Bruke, you’re here to bring me food, right?”

Joseph turned around and indeed saw Dante standing right at the entrance of the ward, carrying a simple wooden food box in his hand. He could vaguely smell the aroma of fish.
