The Reborn Wife Of The Tyrant CEO
Chapter 234 - 230

Chapter 234: Chapter 230

Hunter insisted on coming to the hospital to visit me. I couldn’t refuse, so I agreed.

"Eliana, you’ve lost weight again" Hunter said with worry as soon as he saw me. "Are you having a tough time lately?"

He knew what was going on in my family, so even if I didn’t respond to him recently, he didn’t hassle me. He was worried about my mood.

I looked at my arm. Indeed, I was thinner. If this kept up, I would be nothing but skin and bones.

"No matter how much I eat, I can’t gain weight. How about you? How have you been?" I asked, smiling from my hospital bed.

Hunter sighed and said, "I’m planning to move to another city for work. Ariel hasn’t stopped pestering me, and she ruined my job."

I was shocked to hear that Ariel had messed up Hunter’s job.

Ariel was really brutal to Hunter. She previously had someone beat him up, and now she destroyed his job. She was obviously trying to make it impossible for Hunter to continue living in the city.

"Do you have any plans?" I asked with concern,

"I’m not sure yet, I’ll take it one step at a time. Eliana, I might not be able to visit you as often," Hunter said, his eyes full of reluctance.

I reassured him, "Transportation is so convenient nowadays. It’s not hard to meet. Once your life is stable, I can come to see you. You know I’m having a hard time now"

I concluded with a self-deprecating laugh.

Hunter quickly nodded. "Everything will be okay, Eliana. I’ll work hard and make something of myself. I’ll help you as much as I can in the future. You can see me as your little brother, and I’ll treat you like my big sister’

Hunters words were comforting. I believe in his character and abilities. Even if he changed jobs, he would definitely make a name for himself.

However, I never thought that this would be a wish that could never be fulfilled.

Three days later, I was discharged from the hospital.

The first thing I did after I was discharged was to go back to work and then meet with the president of Sinoplast Corporation to discuss signing a contract.

Like a fortune teller, Damon accurately predicted what I would do next, so he showed up at the company entrance on time, waiting to go in with me.

Rubbing my temples, I said resignedly, "Damon, you don’t have to accompany me. As long as you refuse Sinoplast Corporation, they will probably sign with me."

"I’m having lunch with Nick near the company. You go about your business, and I’ll go to lunch," Damon said, leaning back comfortably in the back

seat of the car.

James, our driver, couldn’t help but glance back at me.

The drive from Coleman Co. to my company was not short. If Damon wanted to have lunch with Nick, he could have met him there. Why did he have to hitch a ride with me?

He really had too much time on his hands.

But I didn’t intend to say anything more. As long as he was willing to refuse to sign with Sinoplast Corporation, that was fine. It wasn’t as if he was helping me, so I didn’t feel any obligation.

"James, let’s go," I ordered.

"Okay, Mr. Brooks," James started the car, heading towards the agreed hotel.

On the way, I didn’t talk much with Damon, but my mind was filled with thoughts. I couldn’t help but think about the conspiracy theory Luna had mentioned before. Could Nick be the one who leaked the scandal about Coleman Co’s illegitimate child? If it was him, would Damon find out?

When we arrived at the hotel, I saw Nick and Nicole as soon as I got out of the car. Were they still together? That was surprising! I always felt that Nick didn’t really like Nicole, and women’s intuition was often accurate.

"Damon, you’re here!" Nick came over,

still maintaining his gentlemanly image. He could show a friendly and cordial smile even to someone as awkward as me, "Ms. Brooks, long time no see."

I nodded and said, "Yes, I’ve been busy lately."

Standing next to Nick, Nicole said sarcastically. "Your family is in decline."

Nick immediately reprimanded Nicole softly, "Nicole, don’t speak like that, she must be having a hard time. I really sympathize with you."

"I’m just telling the truth. She’s clinging to Damon again, isn’t she? Her family must be in trouble, hoping Nell can help. Why are you getting mad at me?" Nicole replied sharply.

I was used to these taunts, but Damon’s face had turned very ugly if it weren’t for the fact that Nicole was Nick’s girlfriend, he would definitely have given her a taste of her own medicine.

"If you can’t speak nicely, then shut up." he said coldly

Nick looked somewhat embarrassed, and Nicole was silent

I didn’t have time to chat with them, so I went to meet the president of Sinoplast Corporation first.

As Damon had said, after Coleman Co. refused Sinoplast Corporation’s invitation, my company was the first they considered.

Despite some recent problems, we have a deep-rooted reputation and a strong understanding of the market. After signing a contract smoothly with the president of Sinoplast Corporation, we continued to have dinner and chat. During our conversation, we talked about his dealings with Coleman Co

"What?" The president of Sinoplast Corporation was a bit puzzled, "I haven’t heard that Coleman Co. is getting into this field. But I did meet with Mr. Coleman before, and we discussed some business matters."

"You haven’t heard about this?" I was also a bit puzzled.

"Never heard of it. But you know, Mr. Coleman does think highly of you. I was going to sign with someone else, but Mr. Coleman broke it down for me and said your company is the best fit for us," said

the president of Sinoplast Corporation, straight to the point.

So Damon did help me after all, only he didn’t tell me.

I felt a bit conflicted. I didn’t want his help, but inadvertently, I’d leveraged his influence. Even though he voluntarily helped me, something about it didn’t sit right with me.

But now, I didn’t have the guts to refuse his help because the contract was signed, and I couldn’t breach it just because of Damon.

After dinner with the head honcho of Sinoplast Corporation, he left first, and I stuck around for a bit before getting up.

My luck was just going south. As soon as I opened the door, I saw the back of Nicole, who was on the phone, "Hurry up to the private room. Damon is here too. How can you give up so easily? If you like him, go get him!"

She must be talking to Ariel, but wasn’t Ariel supposed to be at the police station?

I was planning to shut the door and leave after they returned to the private room.

"Eliana!" Nicole spotted me with a clear look of annoyance on her face.

I decided to shut the door again, ignore Nicole, and make my exit.

She let out a cold laugh behind me, "You’re in your thirties, but still so charming. Damon even got Ariel sent to the station for you. You sure know how to play the game!"

I took it as her stirring up trouble for no reason and ignored her. But as the elevator door opened, Ariel appeared before me.

"Scared you, didn’t I?" Ariel stepped out of the elevator, looking at me with disdain, "You thought I was a pushover, huh? Damon can send me to the station, but someone will always bail me out."

"I really don’t care what happens to you, so stop these pointless acts," I replied indifferently, then stepped into the elevator.
