The Reborn Wife Of The Tyrant CEO
Chapter 155 - 152

Chapter 155: Chapter 152

Soon, everyone started talking about other things, and I heard something about Zoe.

Cooper’s family was pushing him to get married, telling him to try and woo Zoe, who also attended last night’s dance. Apparently. Damon had gone with him.

"She’s way too popular, I don’t want to compete with other men" Cooper said.

"Haha, you don’t have to compete, according to reliable sources, Zoe falls for Damon. Some foreign websites even reported last year that she had a crush on Damon." Luna replied

"I know, I can’t beat Damon. Plus, ever since Zoe became Edward’s adopted daughter two years ago, she’s famous, but she’s never shown her face. What if she’s ugly?" Cooper shrugged. "I heard she’s here with a $500 million investment, but even if she brought $50 billion, I wouldn’t go after her."

He was obviously a man who cared about appearance. I listened for a while and then stepped out for some fresh air. Soon, Cooper followed me out.

His face was red and he said a bit awkwardly, "Eliana, I misunderstood you two years ago, I apologize,"

"What?" I was surprised, "It’s all good, Cooper."

Mainly because Cooper’s misunderstanding didn’t cause me much trouble.

He didn’t purposely make things difficult for me. Besides his words that upset me back then, everything else was really no big deal.

Cooper let out a sigh of relief, "Thanks, I should’ve apologized to you earlier, but I was too embarrassed. Today seemed like a good opportunity."

"Hahaha, yeah, it’s a good day indeed." I started laughing.

At noon, a feast of seafood was served. As I filled my belly and listened to everyone’s laughter, I felt blissfully happy.

Then, a huge cake was brought out and Mitch blew out the candles with his wife and kids by his side.

His face was full of smiles, he had truly become a good man.

I envied their married life, which was once my own dream.

By the time I left Luna’s house, it was already evening. She asked me to stay for dinner but I wanted to visit Joshua at the hospital.

I rushed to the hospital in Luna’s car. Joshua looked a bit better today, young people recover quickly.

"Eliana, when did you get back? How come I didn’t know?" Joshua asked me a bit disappointed, "Didn’t you get the messages I sent you? You never replied."

"I got back the night I ran into you at the bar," I sighed, "I got all your messages but I didn’t know how to reply, so I didn’t."

"I get it, you probably think I still have strong feelings for you and you didn’t want to respond, right?" Joshua seemed a bit helpless, "I do like you, I still like you a lot, but I know we can’t be together. Can I try to see you as my sister?"

I widened my eyes, then nodded, "Okay, from now on you’re my little brother. Don’t worry, I’ll treat you to good food, drink, and life’s pleasures!"

Joshua started laughing.

I didn’t leave the hospital until 10 p.m., my mood very heavy

Because Joshua had just told me some things about Ariel.

He and Ariel used to be together and knew each other’s circle of friends very well, much more than Luna and the others knew about Ariel.

Two years ago, Ariel was rushed to the hospital. While she survived, her parents tragically died in a car accident on their way to the hospital soon after. Ariel was left to live off the money from selling her parents’ house and had to leave the city.

She had only Karen and Nicole left, and after that, they lost all contact with her.

I didn’t expect Cherry and Dean to have died in a car accident. In my past life, they were doing well, they even owned a bar and lived a very prosperous life.

Did Damon know about these things? I think he might have known that Karen cared so much about Ariel that she would have gone to Damon. From the result after Ariel disappeared from the city, Damon didn’t show any sympathy. He seemed to let her fend for herself.

But all of this was none of my business now. I just felt sorry for Cherry and Dean’s death.

Ariel seemed to be quite an extreme existence for them. She either led them to the peak or to their death.

Lost in thought, I drove to the Chemical Plant. The project here was underway.

The small building where the Ariel’s family once lived has been leveled, now only excavators parked on it.

Things were different, I couldn’t help but sighed. Just as I was about to leave, a group of people walked towards the construction site.

The man leading the group was wearing a flashy jacket, had shaved his head clean, and despite being in his forties or fifties, he dressed like a teenager His face was ferocious looking, and he was followed by a group of young men who looked like they were up to no good.

I checked the time. It was already past eleven. What were they doing at Coleman Co’s project site?

The site should have already closed for the day, only a few people would be on duty in the temporary work huts. If these guys were here to cause trouble. then it was going to be a big deal.

Only a few lights were on in the temporary work huts not far away, indicating not many people were there.

Suddenly, the group stopped near my car. My car was already turned off and the window was only slightly open for ventilation.

Before they noticed me, I tried to duck as much as possible to avoid being seen.

"You go in and start making a fuss, saying that those guys hurt your brother. If they don’t compensate us, we won’t let them off" The middle–aged man who led the way spoke

"Okay, Lewis. I promise I’ll give it my all!" A man next to him answered.

I remembered what Clara had said about a guy named "Lewis’ being the local boss. Could it be this bald man outside?

He was bold enough to cause trouble on the Coleman family’s site. What a nerve!

"The Coleman family was a tough opponent! I have not received any benefits from them, which makes me very undignified. Let’s go in. Anyone tries to call the cops, snatch their phone!" Lewis spat out, face red with rage.

Only when the commotion outside died down did I sit up straight, frowning at the workshop in the near distance.

After a moment’s hesitation, I called the police and shot a text to Luna, asking her to pass the message to Mitch, who would then alert Damon.

I figured if I didn’t call the police, things could get ugly today. The few guys on shift wouldn’t stand a chance against these thugs.

Luna called back quickly. After I filled her in on what was going on, she said, "Got it, Mitch’s getting in touch with Damon, get out of there, it’s not safe."

"Alright, I’m on my way." I didn’t want to hang around here any longer. My being here today was just a spur–of–the–moment thing.
