Billionaire's Sweetheart

Chapter 775

The man's comforting words did not make Felicity feel at ease. Instead, it made her think even more wildly.

She was now in contact with the crisis of many companies, managed by someone like Edward. A single wrong decision could cause the entire company to fall into an economic crisis, and could lead to even more serious consequences.

If he didn't tell her what had happened, a lot of things would occur in Felicity's mind. Those results made her feel afraid, and it would even make her headache.

"Edward, you don't want to tell me? Are you afraid that I won't be able to withstand the pressure because my willpower is too weak? Or is it because you don't love me enough to let me know more about your company?" Felicity was not an obedient child and she wanted to know about it. No matter what it was, she had to know about it. She wanted to face it together with him.

Surprise flashed across Edward's handsome face. He didn't think that this little woman would actually doubt his feelings for her.

There was no doubt about it. She was his only true love.

"Felicity..." The man's voice was low and hesitant.

"Don't try to say anything good to me anymore. You know, I'm worried about you, because I don't know what kind of trouble you're facing, and I will be even more worried about you…" Felicity immediately interrupted him. She knew that he cared about her and wanted to hide the truth from her.

Edward was even more shocked, he did not expect that his concealment would actually make her worried even more.

"Okay, I'll tell you. You don't have to think about it anymore, okay?" Edward kissed her forehead, knowing that she was a stubborn person. Since she wanted to know so much, he didn't plan on hiding anything from her.

Felicity immediately tensed up and stretched out her small hands to hold onto one of his arms. She felt that the next words she was about to hear would be like a violent storm, frightening and worrying.

Feeling the instantly tense atmosphere, the man couldn't help but let out a low laugh.

"Relax, it's not as scary as you think. It's just that there's still a tough battle between my uncle and me." Edward said in a low voice as he gently tidied up the messy hair around her ears.

"Your uncle? Jane Hughes's foster father?" Felicity's beautiful eyes instantly widened in shock.

She did not expect that what Edward was facing was not the company's economic crisis, but his uncle.

"Yes, that's him. Not long ago, he came out of prison, and during the days of your accident, I took care of you in the hospital and he stole my big client away and even made me lose five capable men instantly. Even more hateful, he even let my company's secrets leak out, causing my company's shares to fall by three points, all of which are the beginnings of his revenge against me. I know that he hates me!" Edward calmly spoke, as he told her in detail what he was currently experiencing.

"Oh god, your uncle is too hateful. He clearly hurt you first, and now he even became the victim. He still

has the face to come and get revenge on you?" Felicity had heard previously that he and his uncle became enemies due to some kind of conflict. His uncle used his adopted daughter to lure Edward towards the edge of crime, wanting to destroy his image in the old man's eyes.

"From his point of view, perhaps he felt that he was my grandfather's second son and also his second successor. After my father passed away, he should have been supposed to take over the company. However, he was really too impatient. Watching me grow up, my previous closest uncle treated me as a threat. He was afraid that I would block his path, so he wanted to kick me away prematurely, even removing me. His plan started when I was still a teenager. Because at that time, I wasn't prepared at all, I fell into the trap he made for me. It's a pity that the bad guys didn't report back then. He only hoped that I won't send him to jail, but I didn't agree. He hates me for being merciless, and he doesn't recite the slightest bit of family love. Today's result is within my expectations." Edward returned, his tone revealing a trace of sorrow. Power and status, would really distort one's humanity, and make one's initial innocence even more sinister.

Felicity hugged him tightly, deeply sympathizing with his encounters. It turned out that on the journey everyone was growing up and everyone would have to go through some hardships and suffering before they would finally be pampered.

So she seemed to understand why Edward had such a mature and calm personality despite looking young. It turned out that during his childhood and youth, he had undergone a huge change and had lost their father.

"Didn't you say that it was within your expectations? Does that mean that you had already prepared for it? Even if your uncle did come for you, you wouldn't be afraid, would you?" Felicity urgently wanted to know his response.

Edward nodded. Feeling her trembling body, he subconsciously hugged her even more tightly: "Yes, I have a way to deal with this. Moreover, I still have my grandparents' support." After hearing his confident words, although Felicity felt a lot more at ease, the bottom of her heart was no longer at peace.

"You must be careful, I don't want anything to happen to you!" Felicity buried her face in his embrace and worriedly told him.

"Don't worry, I will definitely be very careful. I don't want you and the children to worry about me." Edward could only keep comforting her.

Felicity didn't know how to express the fear in her heart anymore. She could only reach out and hug him even tighter.

"Is your head still hurting? Do you want to go to the hospital for an examination?" When Edward heard that she had a headache, he was also extremely worried. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Felicity chuckled: "As long as you are willing to tell me the truth, my head will be fine."

Edward also laughed along, "You better not take a headache seriously. The doctor said that this injury of yours will have aftereffects."

"What is aftereffect? Am I going to lose my memory?" Felicity joked.
