With You For the Rest of My Life novel Chapter 42

Night wind was roaring freely on the street, echoing in the quiet office of Burke, making the atmosphere in the room more solemn.

David didn't respond for a long time.

All of a sudden, Burke slammed the folder in his hand and threw it on the tea table in front of David with force.

"Do you have something to explain about Hetian Real Estate Project, or should I say it?" With his back to David, Burke slowly walked back to the floor to ceiling window.

David's defense in his mind had collapsed when he heard the name "Hetian". He picked up the document on the table with his trembling hands and looked through it. Time passed, as if a few century had passed, David's hands holding the document were shaking more intensely.

The items listed on the document left no room for him to argue.

Suddenly, he threw the document back to the coffee table, buried his face in his hands, and burst into tears.

Without turning his head to look at the bright night scene, Burke just quietly looked out of the window. He knew that too many people wanted to deal with the Gu Group. As the leader, he might have to suffer many betrayal and regrets, so he could not be soft hearted.

After a long time, David stopped crying, calmed down and said slowly.

"Mr. Gu, I am sorry for what I have done to the Gu Group. I am really sorry for what I have done. I am the one who leaked the plan of Hetian Real Estate Project."

The glass window reflected the cold face of Burke. He frowned slightly. This was not the answer he wanted. He wanted to know who was behind this and made the whole thing against him and the Gu Group.

"Who told you to do this?" Burke asked coldly.

"It..." David shook his head. No matter what, he couldn't sell out the Yuan Group. Otherwise, he would be fired by the Gu Group and he had no other choice but to support his family.

"David..." All of a sudden, Burke turned to look at David. "Once this news is released, you have no foothold in the whole industry. Do you still expect the person behind you to take you in? You are just related by benefits. You can't be of any use to him if you leave the Gu Group."

As Burke spoke, he walked back to his desk. Taking a sip of the coffee, he continued, "As long as you tell me who is behind all this, I promise you that I'll take care of it and only solve it in the group without leaking it out. In this way, your social reputation will not be affected, and there will be a chance for you to make a comeback. As for the Gu Group shares, we will discuss with the board of directors and take it back. But I will give you a sum of money and promise you that you will be safe in two years. "

David lowered his head and then started to struggle. It was the safest plan for him to do so under the condition that Burke asked for, and the relationship between him and the Yuan Group was just as what Burke had said, but they only took advantage of each other. He was like a stray dog, and there was not a high probability that he would help him......

Thinking of this, he finally made up his mind. Well, there was no better choice now.

"It's Austin Yuan, the new CEO of the Yuan Group..."

As the night grew darker, in the huge room, Rose was sitting alone on the bed covered with a quilt, but there was always a chill that made her feel a little uneasy.

"Sophie, Sophie!" She called her name.

"Coming!" Sophie, who was staying in the next room, hurried there.

"Close the window for me." Pointing to the half open window on the south side of the room, Rose instructed.

"Okay." Sophie walked to the window, gently closed it and closed the curtain.

"Hasn't Burke come back yet?" She couldn't help asking.

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening. She had never come back since Burke answered a call. Grandma sat here with Rose for a while and went back to rest. Only Rose was looking forward to the arrival of Burke.
