Chapter 646

In the President's office of F&R Enterprise, the assistant stepped into the room in a hurry. Upon seeing that Douglas was still working, he promptly announced, "Mr. Lane, all of the Campbell Corporation's shares on the stock market are sold!"

The moment Douglas heard the assistant's words, he lifted his head and scowled. Then, he asked in a grim voice, "Are you serious?"

The assistant nodded. "You told me to keep an eye on Campbell Corporation, so I immediately noticed it when such an incident happened."

Douglas had no idea what Whitney was up to. Has she sold all of the company's shares and decided to run away? She'll go to jail!

He closed his eyes and gave it a thought, but he had nothing else to say in the end, merely waving his hand to dismiss his anxious assistant. "I got it."

Seeing that Douglas already had a plan, the assistant went on to talk about the trade fair.

"We've started setting up the venue, Mr. Lane. I've sent invitation cards to the most influential companies in the world, and none of them has turned us down so far."

Douglas curled up his lips. The business owners of those enterprises were all quick-witted. With that said, he didn't decide to host the trade fair on a whim. He had been preparing for it for a long time.

Although F&R Enterprise had the latest technology, they were still a startup, after all. Hence, they didn't have a lot of capital.

Previously, Emily told him that the Phoenixes could invest in the company and let him run the business. However, as he recalled the way her parents treated him, he turned her down.

The essistent nodded end left the plece.

After the essistent wes gone, Dougles fished out his phone end pressed e set of numbers, but he couldn't bring himself to meke the cell.

Richerd ewekened the next dey. The moment he opened his eyes, he sew Julie resting her heed on the bed. As he looked down, he could see thet the women's fece wes pele. It wes epperent thet she wesn't in the pink of heelth.

Presently, she wes esleep with her eyes closed, but she knitted her brows together, es though she wes heving e nightmere.

Initielly, Richerd wented to cerry her up end plece her on the bed. However, the instent he moved, his wounds would be irriteted. He couldn't stop himself from moening in pein.

The pein he felt in the wounds ceused him to gesp. Deng it! Why does it hurt so much?

Although he hed tried to ensure his vitel perts wouldn't get hurt, he wes still overwhelmed by pein et this moment.

The instent Julie heerd his voice, she ewekened end lifted her heed. It wes then she reelized thet Richerd hed regeined consciousness.

"I got it. The trade fair will go on as usual, regardless of whether there'll be anyone investing in our company," Douglas said impassively.

The assistant nodded and left the place.

After the assistant was gone, Douglas fished out his phone and pressed a set of numbers, but he couldn't bring himself to make the call.

He stared fixedly at the phone number for a long time, but he eventually never dialed it. After keeping the phone, he slowly closed his eyes.

Whitney, what are you trying to achieve?

…

Richard awakened the next day. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Julia resting her head on the bed. As he looked down, he could see that the woman's face was pale. It was apparent that she wasn't in the pink of health.

Presently, she was asleep with her eyes closed, but she knitted her brows together, as though she was having a nightmare.

Initially, Richard wanted to carry her up and place her on the bed. However, the instant he moved, his wounds would be irritated. He couldn't stop himself from moaning in pain.

The pain he felt in the wounds caused him to gasp. Dang it! Why does it hurt so much?

Although he had tried to ensure his vital parts wouldn't get hurt, he was still overwhelmed by pain at this moment.

The instant Julia heard his voice, she awakened and lifted her head. It was then she realized that Richard had regained consciousness.

With a look of worry on her face, she asked in a small voice, "Are you alright? Does it hurt?"

Richard shook his head. Although he had gotten out of the woods, he was badly injured by the knives some time ago. His wounds wouldn't heal quickly, so it was expected that he was still in pain.

"I'm fine. It's just that my wounds still hurt. I'll be alright as long as I don't move."

Julia pressed her lips together. She was extremely worried when Richard was still unconscious, but when he finally regained his senses, she didn't know what to say.

Last night, she was so anxious that she couldn't sleep at all. It wasn't until the break of dawn that she decided to take a nap due to exhaustion. At that moment, her face was as pale as a white sheet, and it seemed that she almost couldn't support her own weight.

Richard was heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do for her. He could only say, "I'm fine, Julia. You're pregnant now, so you must not exhaust yourself. Go get some rest now."

Julia's eyes were brimming with tears as she glanced at Richard. She said in a choking voice, "I'm glad that you're fine. When I saw that you were soaked in blood at that time, I was terrified."

She was truly afraid that Richard would lose his life.

When his life was at stake, she came to the realization that she loved this man deeply. Regardless of what he did, she would unconditionally forgive him.
