Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart novel Chapter 1097

Julian and Arthur only stayed for one day. Carrying his father's ashes, Phil came back to Riverside City with them. As for Anya, she stayed with Ezra and Maisie in Ustistan.

Anya was conscious that they took her safety as a priority when Phil was away.

And Anya didn't reject their kindness. After all the pain and suffering Phil had gone through, he couldn't suffer another heavy blow. Or else, he might actually go mad.

As for Cara, she was sent to a hospital by Phil. The doctor said that Trevon's death was more than she could take. She was in severe mental illness and needed to stay in the hospital for a long time.

More importantly, Cara herself had no desire to be cured. She would rather stay insane than stay clear-minded to face the stark reality that she gave rise to Trevon's death.

Phil stayed at Riverside City for two days. He didn't hold a grand funeral for Trevon because Trevon didn't have many friends in Riverside City. Phil met a client after holding a simple funeral for Trevon.

The client wanted to talk about their takeover of an overseas company with Phil. They attached great importance to this takeover and specifically expressed their wish for to Phil play a part in it.

Due to the giant difference in politics, economy, nationality, and culture between two or more countries, cross-border mergers and acquisitions were rather complicated. Even if they succeed in buying the company, the management of the corporate after emerging could be tricky.

Any potential errors during the takeover could lead to failure, which was why normal lawyers usually didn't dare to take cases of this scale.

Phil didn't plan to take the case. He now wanted to concentrate on looking after Anya during her pregnancy. He would be so occupied that he couldn't be able to stay with Anya all the time if he took part in the project. The case might also require a field visit for a couple of days. So Phil declined their request directly when they approached him for the first time.

But the president of the client company was sincere about making the deal and came to Phil more than once.

The president was keen on having Phil's help because he only had faith in Phil's ability. Learning that Phil would come back to Riverside City for a short while, the president immediately came to Riverside City to meet him.

They met in Phil's office in Riverside City. Well over fifty, the president was a prominent industrialist in the business world.

Phil was frank. "I have read profiles about the company you want to buy and to be honest, this project is very challenging. Your targeted firm was built in a country where there was widespread bias against our country. Management of the corporate could be a huge obstacle even if you managed to implement the takeover."

"So you are suggesting I give up?" The president asked.

"Yes." Phil nodded.

The president let out a deep sigh. "But they have the state-of-the-art chip technology, which was exactly what we are short of currently. Buying this firm will bring enormous benefit to our company and also to our country."

The president's words sent Phil thinking.

He previously wondered why an industrialist was so obsessed with taking over a technology company. Now he understood. It was out of his patriotism, a striving to develop technology, and a wish to contribute to his own country.

Phil was a bit shaken by his patriotism.

Everyone had deep feelings towards his own country. Phil would do his utmost to help him if he did this for the good of the country.
