Arthur widened his eyes when he heard Shannon's voice from the door of the room. Swallowing hard, he looked at Shannon, who came with Tom with a parcel. "You overheard what you shouldn't have?"
Tom laughed. He walked in with an arm around Shannon's shoulders to approach the cage. "We just came and opened the door, Arthur. Why would we come here to listen to your sadness life story?"
This, of course, inflamed Arthur. He gritted his teeth, holding back the anger that he was so eager to unleash. Not because it was called pathetic, but because he saw Tom's touch on Shannon's shoulder that was not distant.
"You shouldn't be here. Even Camellia would never accept you. Aren't you the cause of Camellia's current state?"
Shannon sat beside the bed on the other side of the cage after placing the fruit parcel on the table. "We never expected this accident to happen either, Arthur. But if it wasn't for her request to use Tom'

"I'll marrying Camellia, Mrs Reynolds."Jill had just returned from a smoke break in the special room when Arthur made his statement. For a moment, Jill was stunned with surprise. She gave Arthur a bombastic eye."Are you kidding me?"Arthur approached quickly. He led Jill gently to the sofa. There was some food that Arthur had ordered earlier to lobby for Camellia. He really couldn't see any holes in Tom's statement and couldn't wait to demand more."Really, Mrs Reynolds. I didn't mean to patronise you by trying to marry Shannon, then moving on to Camellia, did I."Arthur paused his sentence as Jill sat on the sofa looking for a good excuse. "You know, like you said before. You're too tired of trivial things like looking after Camellia. Can't I be relied upon? I'll be the standby husband who will take care of her whenever and wherever, Mrs Reynolds."Jill sm

"How about we get married right away, Ms Reynolds?" Instead of answering with excitement, Tom's unprepared proposal left Shannon shocked. She bowed her head in restraint before she actually shook her head and let out a giggle. Tom was silent as he watched Shannon, who was intrigued by his sudden, no-nonsense proposal. He snickered briefly, then returned to staring at his laptop screen showing the performance of the employees at JF Moulding that he had begun to notice from the surveillance cameras. "Is something funny, Ms Reynolds? I don't think I'm being funny. I've thought that question through pretty well, too. You know, it's just information for you. I never joke about my survival." Shannon pressed her lips together and shook her head slowly. She ran her fingers through her hair until her bangs fell behind her ears. "No, Aland. Please don't take offence. It's nothing funny. It's just that I was surprised to hear you out of the blue ask me to marry you. Whereas before, you even k

“What the other plan was Arthur thinking of? He even got down on one knee just to apologise. Doesn’t that seem strange, Pete?”Pete nodded and reached for an important document on the progress of the three subsidiaries, now under Arthur’s control. It wasn’t he was ignoring it; it was just that he was trying to think rationally after seeing the revenue graph that never even increased.“Maybe he’s trying to make you feel good. I don’t know for sure. But two of his subsidiaries are in bankruptcy. He can’t get back on his feet if he just relies on himself.”Tom reached for the document Pete had given him. He rubbed it around his mouth while trying to think of the worst possibilities. “So far, JF Load is still operating. I guess he’s still saving this one.”“He never even evaluated the work of the employees, Tom. How is he going to save it?”Tom got up from his office and shook his head slowly. He looked up at the blue sky through the glass window that connected to the courtyard. “Could it

"You'll only marry Camellia when she's sober, Arthur."Jill disavowed Arthur's request to marry Camellia, even though she had no idea what was behind Arthur's out of the blue change of his heart."What else can I do, Mrs Reynolds? If I marry Camellia, there will be plenty of stories we can tell to make the stock go up. Not just yours, but mine too."Jill sighed, then glanced at Arthur sharply. She turned away with her arms crossed. The next second, she looked out the window. "I don't want to sell grief, Arthur. Even though we could make a huge profit, I don't want to do it. It's fine if I'm the only one selling grief, but not my daughter, Arthur. I believe she still has the best future ahead of her.""How am I supposed to get JF Travel and JF Printing back out of the bankruptcy hole, Mrs Reynolds?" asked Arthur pleadingly. He was at his wit's end to find another source of income to keep JF's three subsidiaries operating."You can use JF Printing to print JF Travel promos, Arthur. Then

Tom had just arrived ten minutes earlier when he darted out of his room in a hurry after getting a call from Shannon about Camellia's condition. But his steps were halted when Henry, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly grabbed his hair furiously.Out of curiosity, Tom took the time to knock on the door to make sure Henry's work was not interrupted. "Is something wrong, Henry?"The surprised Vyn Henry immediately shook his head uncertainly. His eyes looked at the laptop screen and Tom in turn.Tom immediately understood. He moved behind Henry's bench to make sure. He was surprised to see a large purchase."Wow! What is this, Henry? Seventy-eight pieces of the same furniture?"Tom was so surprised that Tom asked in a voice that was quite high in intonation. He had forgotten about Camellia's condition told by Shannon earlier. He shouted excitedly while hugging Henry, who was still shocked."You saw it, didn't you? People will appreciate your hard work! Your design will soon be recogni

Arthur was driving fast. He who had just arrived at JF Printing had to return after receiving news of Camellia waking up. His face turned pale, especially since he hadn't convinced Jill to marry them.Arthur arrived at the door of Camellia's treatment room, he also saw Tom and Shannon staring at each other. He let out a rough breath before finally entering and ignoring their public display of affection.Arthur approached and sit on the edge of the cage. He looked at Jill, who was still staring at Camellia with an incredulous look. "What happened, Mrs Reynolds?"Jill's teary eyes released their tears. Her cheeks were wet, and she wiped them roughly and carelessly. "Camellia can't see. Nor can she speak."Arthur's jaw dropped. His smile was evident, although the next second he changed his expression drastically from a triumphant smile to a facial gesture full of concern. "How can that be, Mrs Reynolds? It's impossible. The doctor said the operation went well, didn't he?"Jill nodded, co

"Are you stupid? Why didn't you say anything to me about the five latest purchases for JF Moulding? I was promised the best position in JF Groups and this is your reply, Brown?"Lark looked down, taking in his surroundings as he tried to come up with an excuse. Occasionally, he would close his eyes and let out a long sigh of lingering anxiety. "It's not what you think, Mrs Reynolds. Yesterday he told me about JF Properties having internal problems. They're making a lot of sales, but the profits don't match the purchases. That's why I'm trying to find out the truth before I tell you. But that doesn't mean I'm not doing my best. I just found out too late, Mrs Reynolds."Jill paced back and forth with her hands clenched into fists. Her wet eyes were now red with anger. "That's enough, Brown. I no longer need you! Shut your mouth or I'll look for you all the way to hell! Do you understand?"Annoyed, Jill threw her phone on the sofa. She paced back and forth while shutting her eyes and be

"Mum?"The greeting of someone whose voice Jill recognised well made her look back quickly. Her eyes grew wide as she realised Camellia was awake.Jill was stunned. She rushed approached Camellia who was still lying in the cage. She touched every inch of Camellia's body to confirm many things. "You-you can talk, Lia? I-I can't believe this. You can see me well? You can move all your body well? Try to do something. Answer me, Lia!"Camellia nodded and grabbed Jill's hand to hold. She smiled to show her mum that she was okay. "Now, my vision is still a bit blurry, mum."Jill, who heard this, panicked again. She almost pressed the emergency button on the other side of the bed again when Camellia shook her head."No, mum. Don't do anything. The doctor is right. I just need time to re-adapt after sleeping for so long. Even if it's only four days. Like my voice. I used to just moan, but now you can see it, right? I'm back to talking like before. It's just that my voice is still hoarse and h
