Chapter 471 The Way He Forced Me
But I couldn't come to any conclusion about what that secret was that could affect the equity distribution of old Morris
And obviously, Mr. Morris had no intention of explaining his actions to me. After I hesitated to give a clear answer, he wearily closed his eyes and waved his hand "So, I'll give you two days to think about it
Olive, if you come to your senses, I'll be ready to welcome you anytime to sign the agreement with me."
This was a clear dismissal, 1n fact, I had long wanted to leave his presence
So I left the ward like I was running away, and
when I bumped into Maria in the corridor, her gaze seemed to stick to me, making me very uncomfortable. I had to pretend to be polite and greeted her
To my surprise, she ignored me instead of acknowledging my friendly signal after receiving it
I watched her inexplicably as she withdrew her gaze and walked into the ward, and couldn't help but curse in my heart
They were all crazy! Poor me, with my constantly working brain, analyzing this and that. This makes me even more eager for Aaron's return. To be honest, I would rather be a researcher who spends all day in the laboratory dealing with data, rather than being a professional manager running a mega- corporation
However, troubles always came one after another
Just as I was pondering over the words that old Morris had said to me while lying on the sofa at home, Cinder, who had helped me take care of the children in the evening, called me
"Oh my goodness! I forgot that Molly and Jasmin were still at your place. Did they cry?"
I sat up from the sofa, vigorously rubbed my messy hair, and looked at the clock on the wall, which had already reached nine o'clock. I decided to go to her house now
Cinder probably knew that I would jump up, and quickly reassured, "It's okay, Olive. I think it's better for them to stay with me. Molly has always been well-behaved, and Jasmin has become familiar with me these past few days
You can completely trust me with them. I called to tell you something else, take a look at the link you received in your email. It's a recording of
Mr. Morris's interview tonight at seven o'clock."
Isn't tonight at seven o'clock... just shortly after I left the hospital?
A wave of uneasiness rose in my heart, and I didn't bother being polite with Cinder about the children anymore. Following her suggestion, I clicked on the link in the email and indeed saw a video where old Morris sat in the hospital room, wearing a troubled expression as he spoke to the camera
"My second son went missing while on a business trip, and I felt extremely regretful and saddened. However, as the chairman of a conglomerate, I believe I should not indulge too much in personal emotions. I should consider
the overall situation. If my son does not return this time, I will merge the company he left
behind and never let any company fall into bankruptcy."
Of course, I also had my own selfishness, and my decision was also to provide some financial security for my son's wife and children. Today, I assure everyone here that I will never mistreat his wife and my granddaughters
This is an unedited video. After hearing old Morris finish these words, I heard several unfamiliar voices in the camera, all discussing the shooting method. However, I can completely judge that these so-called interviewers are all carefully arranged by old Morris, and even the questions to be asked after the interview may be provided by him as a script
He really didn't stop pressuring me to make a
decision
Although old Morris said he would give me two days to consider when I left, in less than two hours, he staged such a scene, playing the role of a caring father in front of the media
The carefully edited version of this video appeared on the financial section of the news website shortly after Cinder sent it to me. As expected, many comments expressed sympathy for old Morris, who might lose his son. In this situation, if I strongly refuse to merge GHY into the Morris Group, the public opinion might accuse me of wanting to take everything from my husband and not considering the interests of employees and shareholders

This was undoubtedly the best way for Mr
Morris to force me to agree to his plan. I gritted my teeth as I translated each message, and the
more I read, the more I felt that he shouldn't be running a company here, but should instead be working for some spy agency, specializing in breaching the enemy's psychological defenses
Just at this moment, my phone rang again
I looked at the unfamiliar number on the caller ID and irritably pressed the reject button
In today's situation, I had to suspect that those journalists had ulterior motives and wanted to get information from me
But the phone kept ringing incessantly, and even after I rejected it three times, the other side still didn't give up
I answered the phone, suppressing my anger, and was about to berate the news media for their disregard of the feelings of those involved when
I heard a voice I had been yearning for day and night
It was Aaron
